The location of the Coconut House can’t be beat. We walked to town or up the beach every day, and our kids enjoyed climbing the nearby trees, playing corn hole in the morning, and visiting with neighbor cats, dogs, and geckos. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was fully stocked. Tricia coordinated groceries for us ahead of time which was helpful.
We enjoyed meals/drinks/dessert at Barefoot Bar, The Galley, Wendy’s, Carmen’s Fast Food (best stuffed fry jacks in town!), Beaches & Cream, Tipsy Tuna, HOBBS, Turtle Inn, and gelato from Tutti Frutti (more times than we care to mention… get half chocolate/half peanut butter!)
We were super bummed about how much sargassum (sea grass) covered the beach- only one day (of the 7 we stayed in Placencia) were we able to access the water from the house- which to be completely honest was why we initially booked this house in the first place. Fortunately, the beach at the end of town by the municipal pier was clear and clean, and we spent several afternoons at the pools at Placencia Beach Club, Mariposa Beach Resort, and Umaya Resort & Adventures. Our snorkeling trips also got cancelled due to winds- so be sure to check the wind conditions before booking excursions on the water!
