About this property

Casa Rosie - relax and unwind in paradise

Overview:
Casa Rosie is a gorgeous villa on Taboga island with an intimate vibe and spectacular views out over the ocean below. It is the perfect place for couples, small groups, and families to unwind and make magical memories!

The villa was built by a European designer with love and comfort in mind and is a stunning mixture of classic European architecture and Caribbean tranquility (Think mama mia with a pina colada!) Large Greek-style arches lead out to a huge terrace that wraps around the villa offering views over the tropical gardens and steps down to the refreshing dipping pool.

With great WiFi, fully equipped kitchen, 3 inviting bedrooms, and a spacious yet personal feel… Casa Rosie is your home away from home.

Included in every stay is free pick up and drop off to the ferry terminal - please let us know the details of your arrival.

The Space:
Casa Rosie is located a short distance up the hill from the main boulevard (don’t worry, Eimy, our fabulous caretaker, is on hand to transport you with our golf buggy if you’re not feeling the walk!). Coming into the property through the private gated entrance, you will feel your cares melt away! The property boasts 3 beautiful bedrooms (1 with en-suite), fully equipped kitchen, open plan dining and lounge area, huge terrace, dipping pool, lush garden, and small caretaker’s cottage. Please read on for more details!

The space is perfectly balanced between:
3 bedrooms at the back of the house (the cooler side), All have double beds and ac and are located far enough away to ensure total privacy and uninterrupted rest. The master bedroom has an en-suite while the others have shared access to the bathroom in the main hallway. (This whole section has a small staircase leading up to it - 4 steps in total)

A large, beautifully equipped kitchen (with full views out over the terrace) allows guests the space and comfort to prepare coffee in the morning or a 4 course meal! (double door refrigerator and freezer, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and fresh water tank, pots, pans, and full crockery and cutlery for 6 people)

Huge living / dining area that hosts a round dining table, daybeds, vanity table and numerous classic antiques

French doors lead out to the covered terrace which has various seating areas, hammocks and a full size gas BBQ - perfect for summer cookouts and rainy, lazy days!

Steps lead down to the small pool area which has loungers and shade and even a small seat within the pool. Perfect for enjoying a sun-downer (please be aware, this is a dipping pool - not designed for exercise!)

Sloping away from the house is the Casa Rosie garden. Isla Taboga is known as the ‘Island of Flowers’ and Casa Rosie is no exception! Delight your senses with with mango trees, lush bougainvillea flowers, and various other tropical vegetation

Eimy, our awesome caretaker, also has a small cottage on the same property tucked away behind the main house. We mostly use this for storage, but this is unavailable for guests.

Water is always an issue on an island like Taboga, but we do have tanks on our property! Please ensure you are super conscious of water usage and help us maintain our levels.

Guest Access:
Mi casa es su casa!
While you are in Casa Rosie, we want you to feel at home and you will have access to all open areas! There is one small room opposite the kitchen that is kept locked with a few personal items, but everything else is yours to explore.

Interaction with guests:
Our fabulous caretaker, Eimy, will meet you at the ferry dock and show you around the villa.
She is also on hand for any issues, but once you are settled in, she’ll give you total privacy.
Eimy can also be hired for additional cleaning, child care, and pet sitting duties! Please ask for extra details.

Other Details:
We love fun and want you to have loads of it in Casa Rosie, but please keep parties and noisy events to a minimum.

Casa Rosie is a smoke friendly household, but please keep all smoking outside on the terrace and use the ashtrays provided.

We are eco-friendly people so please keep AC use to a minimum. The house benefits from natural ventilation through the day with windows and doors open. If you do use the ac, please close doors and windows in that space and please turn AC off completely before leaving the house.

We know animals are part of the family and Casa Rosie is definitely animal friendly! However, please note that any damages from animal (or human) behavior will be charged.

Water in Panama generally is always an issue, but on our little island, we have to be even more water conscious! Please keep showers to a minimum and be super careful when washing dishes etc.

Remember to bring all your food and drink from the city! Shopping options are limited on Taboga although we do have excellent restaurants if you don’t want to cook. We provide plenty of bottled water to drink.

Please remember that Casa Rosie is a home and not a hotel and treat it accordingly. Eimy is always on hand for any problems as are the rest of the team via whatsapp.

We try to be as flexible as possible with check in and check out times, but need to take care of all guests - please contact us with your schedule and we will do our best to accommodate you!

Neighborhood Description:
Isla Taboga is known as the island of flowers with rich, volcanic soil, and gorgeous beaches. It is a very popular destination for people from all over the world as well as residents of Panama city. Located just 30 minutes ferry ride from the city, you will feel like you are in a different world and never want to leave!

The neighborhood is colorful and vibrant with plenty to see and do and, as it is a small island with very few cars, everything is very close! You can explore the historic naval bases and lush jungle on guided tours, or visit the beach and kayak, snorkel, swim, or simply grab a good book and chill!

Even though we’re a small island, we have some fantastic eating spots! Villa Caprichosa is one of our absolute faves and just a short buggy ride away - a world class experience with stunning views. The kiosks along the promenade also serve excellent, traditional food for a laid back eating experience.

Getting Around
It is a walking island (almost no cars allowed) so do bring good walking shoes! Although our wonderful Eimy is also on hand to drive you in our golf buggy if needed.

To get to the island, most people use either Taboga Express ferry or Calypso ferry. Please check their websites for details and prices. We also have some private water taxis that can bring you to the island if the regular schedule doesn’t fit with you. Please message for more details.

We had a lovely stay at Casa Rosie on the isle of Taboga! The caretaker, Eimy, and her husband were so friendly and helpful, and made it easy for us to have a great time on this interesting island. Before our trip, the host was also able to put us in touch with an outstanding guide, Juan, who drove us to all sorts of places as we tried to find locations in the former Canal Zone that had special childhood memories for one of our party who had lived in the Zone in the 1950s and 1960s. Juan was so fun and comfortable to be around — we can’t wait to come back to Panama and hang out with him again sometime!

Rest and relax at Casa Rosie!
This was a great break from the rush of the City. Mary was there to meet us from the Ferry with the buggy. We had to make a couple trips for all our stuff and us. Small shops in town have the basics, so pack any special items/beverages you want to have. View is incredible and house is clean. Mary speaks primarily Spanish so a translating app is helpful. AC in bedrooms only but breeze from ocean helps to cool things. Town is walkable and beach is close. Very relaxing!
