I feel like I don't have enough hours in the day to thoughtfully list all the reasons why this was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in (and I'm near 30 stays).
As a single international traveler, staying at Richard and Peggy's was like coming home. Their communication was extremely thoughtful and accurate from the beginning. The space is beautiful, clean, private, and extremely comfortable. I've been telling my friends to travel to Belize just to visit the Rasp House!
If you get a chance to have Peggy cook for you, please do it! Her food is delicious! It was also an incredible experience to eat fruit from their trees.
The experience of this stay is unparalleled. I sat beside the Belize River and journaled, watched monkeys playing in the trees, watched the bats swoop in and eat bananas in the evening and even got to feed a kinkajou out of my palm. Everyone I've mentioned this to is incredulous! Richard is a thoughtful and knowledgable guide. He helped me hook up with an ATM tour (literally the coolest thing I've done in my life), took me to a goat farm, a Mennonite Farm, and hiked at Blue Hole National Park. He even let me use a cell phone for local calls while I stayed.
The space itself is more comfortable that I could have imagined and entirely secure. I slept for hours in this cozy space which is exactly what I needed.
I would return to Belize just to see Richard and Peggy!
