We loved staying at Casey's place. We mostly went to Placencia to do nothing, so being right on the beach [with comfy chairs and hammocks] was perfect for us. Hearing the breeze going through the palm trees never got old, and we stayed 5 nights! The "Placencia Sidewalk" is adjacent to the property, so in just a couple of minutes stroll you can easily get to a handful of shops and restaurants. A few minutes farther, and you can get to even more. The closest supermarket is also a few minutes walk, so was very convenient [there are several others a few minutes more distant]. We rented a golf cart for 4 hours just to get the lay of the land -- we dropped it off early because the town is so compact! The rental did help us to know where we wanted to walk back to on the main road, but I'm glad we didn't spend more for a longer rental -- it simply isn't necessary. Casey's apartment is very nice inside, and has everything you need [not that we were inside much except to sleep :-) ]. Finally, the young fellow who tended the grounds [Gerson] did an awesome job keeping the place immaculate. He keeps to himself unless you start a conversation, but is very personable and enjoys a brief chat before getting back to work. He even opened a coconut for us -- getting to enjoy fresh coconut water and coconut meat was a highlight of our trip, and happened just outside our front door!
