Though our water taxi was late and arrived in total darkness, taxi driver and property manager, Nick, was waiting at the dock for us with a golf cart taxi and a warm welcome. During the five-minute ride through town, he gave us loads of information, pointing out restaurants and available tours along the way. Just out of town, we came onto the unlighted jungle path, which runs close to the water along the south side of the Caye. After about 10 or so minutes on this path, we reached the house. When we arrived, we were warmly greeted by James, who owns the place with his wife Rainy. They live in the upstairs portion of this two-unit house. The location of the property is beautiful and peaceful. It truly fits the definition of a ‘getaway’. The jungle path runs between the house and the sea. There is little ‘traffic’ on the path: only the occasional walker, biker or golf cart. This is an area with no utilities and so every house along the path runs on solar and has rainwater catchment. Water conservation is important here, as the house’s water supply is limited by the size of the cistern and the amount of rainfall. The downstairs suite has high ceilings, a combined kitchen/living room, a bedroom and a bath. The kitchen has all the essentials, and the bedroom has a small wardrobe with a door mirror, a couple of tables and a comfortable bed. The bathroom is basic. There’s no counter space in the bathroom, but it doesn’t feel cramped. We kept our toilet articles on one of the two tables in the bedroom. You can see the Caribbean through the bedroom and living room windows, but the view is limited. However, in less than a minute, you can walk to the dock, where the view is wildly beautiful—almost surreal in the morning when the massive cumulous clouds speckle the sky above the turquoise sea. The dock by the house is perfect for getting in and out of the water, and the water is a delight to swim and relax in. The water visibility was about 6-8 feet when we were there. James and Rainy let us use their inflatable stand-up paddleboards, which was a lot of fun and perfect for the calm water. The two-person inflatable kayak is also a blast to use. The bikes provided work well, sized for men and women, and have baskets so you can easily take a daypack or bring home goods from the market without hassle. It takes 10-20 minutes by bike to get to the center of town, depending on how fast you ride. James and Rainy were gracious and accommodating hosts. They shared lots of helpful info with us about where to eat and fun things to do, like a snorkel trip with Richard’s Adventures, which was superb and a must do! They also provide a local cell phone for you to use, which comes in very handy to call restaurants...
