Our family of 13 (10 adults and 3 kids) had an amazing time with Brittany at Casa Vista. Caye Caulker is a little off the beaten path, so we were a little nervous with the logistics of getting from the airport to the ferry to the island to the house. Brittany made travel super easy by arranging transportation and meeting us as we got off the ferry on the island.
The rooms and beds were clean and well taken care of, and there was plenty of rooms for everyone. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were able to get all of groceries we needed right there on the island. The kids loved the pool.
Brittany was super accommodating with our ever changing plans. She set up 2 snorkeling excursions, Scuba, Cave Tubing, and a tour of the nature preserve to get up close with crocodiles. She was also accommodating with trips into town.
There is a lot to do at the house. We spent our time at the house playing games (there are several at the house), hanging out on the roof, in the pool, fishing off the dock, or out in the water on the SUP and kayak. There are few big wide sandy beaches on the island so there was not much laying out at the beach, but the house is located really close (5 minute walk/2 minute bike ride) to a small resort with a larger beach area that you can use if you buy drinks or food from their bar.
This is the perfect house if you are looking for a quiet vacation to relax, recharge, and soak in island life. The ocean was beautiful and the views from the house of the sunrise and sunset were stunning!
The only downside were the bugs. Mosquitos and “No-see-ums” were awful in the evenings, so bring a lot of repellent and baby oil to keep them off.
