We loved Joan’s place!! It was absolutely beautiful. The space was modern yet cozy, and very clean and inviting. Two of us stayed there and there was more than enough living and outdoor space for us to enjoy. We wanted a relaxing vacation with a view of the ocean and this place had a private oceanfront view and a private pool, just for us! We used the infinity pool almost every evening, and loved watching the sunset from the private pier. We made great use of the gorgeous, modern kitchen where there was ample space to cook and eat dinner. Joan provided us with a Netflix box so we were able to watch all of our favorite movies and shows during the evenings. She also provided us with a cellphone that had 10 dollars ( 10 minutes ) of Belizean phone credit. This was extremely helpful and gave us a sense of security as we explored the island.
Because the location of Joan’s home is extremely private and is located on the southern edge of the island, renting a golf Cart is a must if you want access to town.
Joan and her family made great hosts right from the start they showed us their generous hospitality! They picked us up at the water taxi and gave us a tour of the town when we first arrived.
They were incredibly helpful with coordinating so many details for us including the boat guides, the taxi, massages, golf cart usage and helping us coordinate local volunteering. They showed us the route for kayaking (and provided us with our own to use for the duration of our stay!)
They provided us with bikes and when one broke down they were so quick to fix it. Our trip went extremely smoothly because of all of their help!! Lastly, they got up at 4:30 am on the day of our departure to make sure we made it out okay and they even had a golf cart at the ready if our taxi didn’t show. They were SO considerate of our needs and made us feel safe, comfortable and relaxed throughout our stay!
Also, we HIGHLY recommend renting out the boat for the day. This was extremely affordable and they set us up with wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful guides who took us snorkeling, to Caye caulker and swimming with sharks and sting rays. The boating experience was so wonderful , we rented it for 2/7 days of our trip!
