Lovely seaside home with ocean-facing porch and private dock. I was traveling alone, but this would be the perfect spot for a couple's get-away. The location is far enough south of town that you need some form of transportation to get to the action, but bikes are provided and cabs are available (if you are patient and pay $10 each way). Once I got the lay of things, I took the bike everywhere, but would strongly suggest investing in a headlamp in case you find yourself out after dark - a small portion of the road is unpaved and unlit. A small, resort-y area lies between town and the house, so there are restaurants and other conveniences within 10 minutes on the bike, but true Hopkins is more of a 15-20 minute ride. There was only one dive shop open during my stay (Belize Underwater), but this worked out just fine as the staff were wonderful and the location surprisingly close.
The house itself was a dream - lovingly cared for, charming, clean and full of conveniences. The kitchen is better equipped than my own - pots, pans, dishware, glasses, utensils, you name it. There is also a spacious refrigerator and gas stove. All of the windows and patio door can be opened and have screens, and there was often enough of a breeze that the air conditioner wasn't necessary. That being said, the AC did do the trick when needed.
Prior to my arrival, Caroline thoughtfully and thoroughly answered my myriad of questions and assisted with travel logistics. During my stay, the property manager was just a text away and exceedingly kind and helpful. Be mindful that this place is a bit out of the way, but in my opinion, that only adds to its appeal. I hope to return someday soon.
