We had a picture perfect stay at the Tree House, our first time in Belize! We were looking for someplace private yet convenient and this fit the bill. We were very lucky we had very quiet neighbors (until the very last day when new people arrived next door).. The kitchen was perfect for cooking all the fresh fish, conch etc that we caught. Rubio was super helpful with information about the island, taking us out snorkeling & fishing and even cooking for us on his smoker (everything made in the smoker was incredible). It was great having kayaks and a dock right at the house. There was quite a breeze the whole time we were there so we were able to sleep with the windows open and never needed the AC. The little store next door was very convenient, but we should have researched and planned our trips to town a little better …it’s a long bumpy ride in a golf cart and some how everything we went there for was always closed at the times we went. If it’s your first time on the island, be sure to stop and stock up before heading to the house. (Make a list ahead of time, don’t be like me and try to wing it while you’re in a rush arriving). There IS a coffee grinder at the house so you can get whole bean coffee. Leno’s meats Is right in town but closes from 12-3 everyday. There are several bigger grocery stores you’ll pass before going over the bridge and a couple good fruit/veggie stands (stock up in town, there is no produce for sale once you cross the bridge … the little store by the house will have a few limes, peppers, sometimes tomatoes, sometimes cilantro but it’s really hit or miss). If you like wine, get this in town also. The house was in a good location, close enough to lots of good food options and a couple walkable resort bar/restaurants and not too far for day trips to the other side/secret beach side. You have to try the breakfast at the waffle & smoke house at least once (get fry jacks & try ribs in your omelette!) … it’s near the Rum Dog & Marbucks sign.
