Phil's place is just as described and so much more! The accommodations were a great bargain! Had we gone with any other friends there was more than enough space in the kitchen and living areas. It was a two minute walk from restaurants and beaches. Placencia itself is a whole other story, it is beautiful, the people are kind, the water is warm, and the conch ceviche is plentiful! We had the time of our lives taking a trip inland to Mayan ruins, SCUBA diving at Silk Cayes and all adventures picked us up right at Philip's door! We couldn't have asked for a better home away from home or a better vacation all-around. Phil was available any moment we needed him but also left us to our privacy. His downstairs neighbors are a sweet couple who also offered their advise on good restaurants and wished us well daily.
