My wife and I had a wonderful time at the Finca Beach House. We stayed for 8 days for our honeymoon. The property is perfectly located a short 10-15 min leisurely bike ride from Placencia Village. The yard is filled with palm trees, sea grape trees, and there is even a banana tree. We were able to watch a variety of wild life including birds, parrots, lizards, and even a large iguana while drinking our morning coffee on the porch every morning. The water off shore is shallow and very nice to swim in. There is a reef about 40 ft off shore which is great to view with snorkling gear (watch for jellies though). There is a charcoal grill in the yard, and we grilled both chicken and fresh fish from the Placencia fish co-op.

The house is perfect for a couple to stay in. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of pots, pans, utensils for cooking as well as coffee maker, blender (frozen daiquiris!), gas stove, and fridge with plenty of ice cube trays (crucial). The wood panels of the roof are beautiful. There is no A/C, but with cool ocean breeze and a nice fan, we were never too warm at night in June.

Val, Valerie, and Jose all live on the property. They were extremely nice and genuine people who checked in to make sure we had everything we needed without being bothersome. Val's dog Rambo was a pleasure to have around and he enjoys taking beach naps under your chair.

The bikes were in working order and we took them to town everyday for booze, groceries, exploring. The people in town were all extremely nice. There are several grocery stores, but the nicest/newest is the first one you come to on the edge of town. In town, we ate dinner at Omar's one night, breakfast at the Shack one morning, and lunch at Pickeled Parrot and we enjoyed them all. Tutti Frutti gelato is fantastic. Tipsy Tuna and Barefoot are both fun around happy hour.

I highly recommend Splash if you want to SCUBA or snorkel. We did the discovery SCUBA one day. The guys are professional, boat is awesome, and they cook you a lunch that was one of the best meals we had all week. Definitely the most fun day we had.

We also caught a ride out to Bocawina Rain Forrest and Ziplined and Rappelled a waterfall, both of which were extremely fun.

The house is also just up the beach from Turtle Inn resort. It is absolutely worth it to get some happy hour drinks at their beautiful Tiki bar. We had 2 fancy dinners at the restaurant there, and the food, service, and atmosphere are all top notch.

Andrea is great and very easy to deal with.

I absolutely recommend Finca to anyone looking for an "off the beaten path" beach get-away.
