We are in the final stages of completing our new waterfront home in the beautiful village of Placencia. Please check back in the latter half of this year for available dates and final photos.
The Space
Great location just a short 5 minute boat ride to pier/village for restaurants, bars, and shops. Transportation in the village is mainly golfcarts and bicycles. Golf carts can be rented in the village. Taxis are readily available for a minimal fee ($5US) to most places in the village.
Placencia Village is located on the tip of a Peninsula on the southern coast of Belize. Flights arrive into Belize City, you then choose a shuttle or rental car to Placencia (app. 3 hrs) or small "puddle jumper" flight (30 minutes). We have several transportation options and will gladly help you arrange if needed. It is a very simple process to get from Belize city
Guest Access
We have a roof top patio with Palapa that boasts 360 degree views of the ocean and beautiful marine life. We have a hot tub and tv on the roof top patio under the Palapa. Third floor is the master bedroom with king size bed, sitting area and large bathroom . Second floor contains the kitchen, living and dining room with half bath and laundry room. First floor has a guest bedroom with queen size bed and its own bathroom. First floor also has an outdoor kitchen area with small fridge, microwave, coffee maker and sink and a pool that wraps around under the house. There is also a large screen tv for watching from the patio furniture or the pool. Property is fully surrounded by a cement fence to provide additional privacy.
Notes
We can provide names of boat captains who provide shuttle service to and from the island.
Our home has 5 sets of stairs, with most being spiral staircases. (Please keep in mind it is not wheelchair accessible.)

Neighbourhood
Placencia is a quaint fishing village with all the charm the Caribbean life has to offer. People are very friendly and eager to help. There are many excellent restaurants and shopping plus Placencia is home to the longest sidewalk in the world.
The majority of people use bicycles or golf carts to get around town. Both golf carts and bicycles can be rented in the village. However should you wish to take a taxi, we have a driver who will gladly help you with any transportation you may need
The Village of Placencia has unique shops and restaurants. You won't find any fast food chains here, but you will find excellent small, family run restaurants serving local food like chicken with rice/beans, conch, lobster and other seafood dishes. Or, go deep sea fishing and catch your own dinner!
Diving is a very popular pastime for visitors to Belize. There are lots of accredited dive shops and dive companies. Edwin, our caretaker can help you book tours for diving, snorkeling or any land tours that you may wish to do (including lots of tours of Mayan ruins, historical sites or areas of ecological interest).
Nearest airport
Placencia airport is just 10 minutes from the pier and there are numerous taxis to provide transportation.
Getting Around
Our home is located on the Placencia caye which is at the end of the village. This provides the peacefulness of the waterfront, while enjoying an easy 5 minute boat ride into the shops, restaurants, and beach bars.
