We just returned from our one week vacation to this fantastic home away from home. This was our third trip to Ambergris Caye, and they just keep getting better. Carolyn is a fantastic host, and was extremely prompt and helpful regarding any questions from the time of booking up until a day before our trip. There are other reviews that have very accurately captured everything great about this home, so it is difficult to find something novel to add. Our party included my husband and our 4 year old daughter, as well as both sets of our parents, and my sister. This space was just perfect for us. Our daughter was able to play both on the beach and then take a break in the rooftop pool. My (younger) sister was able to have some of her own space in the honeymoon suite, and our parents had their own space as well. However, we enjoyed a lot of together time in the mornings and evenings on the rooftop as well as the palapa bar out front. We also really appreciated the location of the home, as it was close to places to eat and a grocery store, but further from downtown San Pedro (which we felt had grown quite a bit since our last visit). Snorkel trips picked us up right on the dock!
A few extra tidbits: My mother is very particular about the cleanliness of homes, and this place is spotless! Also, Carolyn went out of her way to help us celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday while we were there. She actually sent pictures of cakes to me before we arrived, ordered one, and picked it up for us while she was downtown. The lovely gentlemen who work there (Marvin and William) also went above and beyond to make her birthday (and our stay) special. Carolyn had great recommendations for a lovely birthday dinner spot that my MIL really enjoyed. If you are comfortable doing so, we highly recommend kayaking out near the reef in the crystal clear waters.
Carolyn, Marvin, and William struck a perfect balance of being helpful without being at all intrusive. We enjoyed chatting with them and getting to know all of them. My 4 year old also really bonded with Lady, the little dog that lives there. We would definitely book here again during our next trip to Ambergris Caye!
