Our best Air BnB stay yet! Lucrecia and Luis really care about their guests and the family business that they built from the ground up. The 3 bird houses are super cute, clean, and on a quiet street in a very residential part of Caye Caulker. Luis built them by hand! And did a fine job with the character and wood work throughout. The only bummer of our trip was that we were delayed getting into Belize City and had one less night to enjoy the comforts of our little Hummingbird house.
Check in: Lucrecia called a golf cart (no cars in the island) taxi to wait for us at the water taxi terminal upon arrival. 5-7 minutes and 10bz later, we were getting the full tour and the details for our stay.
Lucrecia was very responsive to all of our requests and questions. She also emailed us via air bnb daily restaurant specials. She also left us a cell phone we could call her or taxi with. We didn't end up using it much at all, but it was nice to have!
The views from our kitchen and bedroom/balcony were superb. The 3 homes all face west and when the clouds allow...the sunsets are epic.
Waking up to the tropical birds, chillin at home with the ac after a long day in the sun, and riding bikes into town for breakfast lunch or dinner was incredibly relaxing.
Regarding some prior reviews that stated noise from the power plant was a problem... we didn't hear a thing. We also didn't hear any of the couples that were staying in the 2 neighboring bird houses.
Because of caye caulkers geology, most of the coast is situated on marshland. Open water swimming can be done along small beaches on the east side of the island and near the split. But that's about it. Lucrecia can let you know how to get there. They are 5-10 min bike ride away.
Lastly, it was really nice to interact with Luis, Lucrecia, their daughter and the 2 super chill pups on the property. We felt like we were part of the family. Half way through our stay of 6 days we came home to fresh towels and a well made bed.
Thank you so much! See you next time!
