Just stop reading reviews of other places and book this place. We stayed for 3 nights, and everything was fantastic - it's the perfect size for two people, has everything needed to cook if you'd like, is very clean and well-maintained, and the beautiful patio is steps away from the ocean. The location is ideal: it's about 2 minutes to walk to the grocery store, 5-10 minutes to walk down toward the restaurants/bars and shops. So it's close enough to walk everywhere, but far enough away from noisy bars so all you hear is the ocean waves at night. Communication with Carolyn was great, and the caretaker, Tricia, is awesome - gave us all the info needed, and then we kept seeing her while we were out and about; I'm pretty sure she runs the whole town! She also owns Eagle Ray Snorkeling tours, and she booked our trip out to Laughing Bird Caye - also fantastic and highly recommended.
All in all, we had a wonderful time, loved this house, loved Placencia, and would love to come back someday! Thank you for helping us create wonderful memories!
