This house was absolutely amazing! The house is entirely open air, but screened in, so we got to enjoy the wonderful Belize weather without worrying about bugs at all. The upstairs living area that over looks the lagoon was so nice (and also screened it), excellent for coffee, yoga, and reading in the morning.
The kitchen has everything you could need, we cooked multiple meals and were pleasantly surprised with how well stocked the kitchen was.
The kayaks and paddle board are great quality and you only have to walk about 10 meters to get them into the water from where they are stored.
It is about a 5 minute walk from the house to the beaches on the gulf side of the peninsula. The great thing about Belize is their are no private beaches, so you can go to the beach anywhere. In five minutes by foot you can get to a nice little public park on the beach which is a great access point.
OR, even better, you can walk 10-15 minutes to the Maya Bistro Beach Hotel. This place is pricey by Belize standards for dinner ($10-20 USD for small plates), but the food is excellent. And better yet, they have happy hour from 3-5 PM with $4 USD appetizers, which are all fantastic, and $2 USD beers and rum punches (with fresh squeezed juices. SO tasty).
The place is a 15-20 minute drive to Placencia, which is a great little town tons of good food (Rumfish and Vino for a fancy dinner. Tasty Bites or Omar's for the best street food.).
This house was absolutely perfect for a trip to Belize in our opinion and would recommend it to anyone. Herbert and Simone are lovely hosts who were always quick to answer any questions and made us feel right at home. If this place is available, book it now!
