This is a beautiful home in Ambergris Caye, about 4.5 miles north of the bridge that separates San Pedro city from the north side of the island, and there are other resorts within a mile or two of the house. However, the resorts are not so close to the house that you'll see throngs of people on the beach.
The dock that belongs to the house is shared with a local diving company, which means we were able to get transportation right to our dock, and utilize the services of the diving company right out our front door. It was very convenient, and several people on our trip decided to get a scuba certification during our trip.
You'll definitely need a golf cart to get around the area, but beware that the roads are nothing like in the US: they are paved, but very bumpy, and this provided some entertainment to our group when we drove into town!
The house is modern by Belize standards, with 3 full bathrooms, a dishwasher, full size refrigerator, dining room, living room and master en suite. The upstairs bedroom is very nice, as well. The drawback to the bedrooms is that one of the rooms has a full size bed, which was a bit small for 2 adults. The room only fits the bed, but it has a closet. To alleviate this issue, our 3 couples switched rooms a few times during the trip, so that no one couple got stuck with the tiny room for the entire stay. This room would be perfect as a kids' bedroom, and did have the best view of the sunrise.
Our host, Jim, provided us ample information about the area, drinking water, toilet paper, propane for the gas grill, and there were other neighbors nearby that were available to assist us when Jim wasn't there.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay at Iguana House, and this home enabled us to have a lovely vacation. Jim's hospitality was second-to-none, and we would stay at this house again without hesitation.
