Luis and Lucrecia are wonderful hosts. They had a taxi ready for my companion and me as soon as we got off of the water taxi. The property is absolutely gorgeous. What I liked most about the rental is that it is off the beaten path. It's on the calmer side of the island, tucked away in a quiet area. However, it is definitely in walking distance to anything that you need, and I never felt scared or intimidated walking alone to and from the AirBnB, even at night. They also provide two bikes with the property which was perfect for getting around even faster. The bikes are really nice too, they have big enough tires to sustain the shock from the bumpy roads.
I wish there were beach access from the property. I think that was the only part I was expecting from the pictures that was disappointing when I got there. But the bikes made it really easy to travel to public beaches whenever I wanted to swim, and there are big baskets on the bikes to fit all of your beach accessories.
The bed is huge and comfortable. The balcony is the perfect place to relax. The bathroom is even bigger in person, which is really nice. The kitchen is small, but we never had to use it because there is food everywhere on the island at a good price.
I would definitely recommend bug spray. Lucrecia gave us a suggestion at check-in that I wish we would have used. There were a lot of sand mites everywhere on the island and I came home with a lot of bug bites. Our Zika approved insect repellant didn't quite keep all of the mites away.
If I travel to Caye Caulker again, I will certainly be contacting Luis and Lucrecia to stay at their Birdhouses. I was there for a wedding and was able to visit a lot of rental properties and this one was the best as far as amenities and location are concerned. Highly recommend this place!
