Our 12-day stay at Carolyn’s House was awesome! A little more rustic than I had expected, but we ended up loving it. Caye Caulker is a tiny island, super casual and laid back with no cars and minimal AC but you can bike just about anywhere in ten min or less and the scenery/wildlife are stunning. We were thankful to have a constant breeze off the ocean (no breeze at places on the west wide of the island), but it was still extremely humid and hot most days and doesn’t cool down much at night. There were 2 fans that we ran at night pointed directly at the bed (too hot without them) but they were loud, even over the ocean and palm trees blowing in the wind. The house also doesn’t get very dark at night, and there’s no hiding from the 5am sunrise. I was a little confused on the cost of getting to the house. Amiela arranged a taxi for us from the airport as requested, which was $30. Then we purchased tickets for the Ocean Ferry Belize water taxi ($75 round trip) and waited 2hrs in no AC for the next departure. The boat was small and you could either sit in the sun for a breeze or in the shade with no air circulation and the trip takes about 45min. There was another taxi (golf cart) driver with our name on a sign when we got to the island, and another $10 to get us and luggage to the house (5 min). I would recommend looking in to flying to Caye Caulker to compare time/pricing. If you decide to water taxi, our friends took one they said was more comfortable but I’m not sure of the name or price. Amiela met us at the house upon our arrival and was super friendly and helpful. We rented the two bikes on the property (in very poor condition but rideable) for an additional $60 for the length of our stay. The house is very conveniently located, quiet but close to “town” and the view from the front porch is a dream! We didn’t use the kitchen much because we didn’t find much for meat or veggies at the little market stores, but eating out was pleasantly affordable (just takes a long time). The sargasm was pretty heavy along the beach while we were there, but the breeze kept the smell mostly at bay. There are a few clear spots over on the west side of the island that have clear beaches you can walk out into the water, but most ocean access here on the east side is by dock - water is shallow with lots of sea grass but very clear and warm! Amiela brought us clean sheets and towels half way through our stay, and was easy to contact if we needed anything. Overall we loved our visit and can’t wait to come back to Caye Caulker, although we will most likely opt for somewhere with AC next time just to make sleeping easier!
