El Fuerte is a Spanish-style home located on a dead end street. We are set back from the sea 40 yards. We built this vacation home to offer our family and others privacy, security and the local flair of the island. We offer all the amenities of home. We have a quite veranda for those morning coffee treats and a hammock for those afternoon naps. Both bedrooms have their own AC with individual controls. High ceilings with ceiling fans throughout offer a comfortable temperature during the day and evenings. The ceiling, cabinet work and furniture are built with seven different wood types native to the country of Belize.
We are located within walking distance of many restaurants, beach bars, grocery stores, internet cafe, kayaking and fishing/diving/snorkeling trips. We are located one mile south of town. We have a very talented cook that offers many local dishes if you would like an evening meal cooked for you and your family. Her specialty is fish dishes. This is a treat and a favorite of many guests! This is NOT included in the rental fee and is calculated on the amount of food required to prepare the dishes.
El Fuerte and Belize are two places that you will want to visit again and again. The quaintness of the island and the people are second to none.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1999
My family & I built El Fuerte in 1999 & have enjoyed many years of traveling to the island. What we love most about San Pedro is the people & of course the reef. I hope you will enjoy as many great memories as we have over the years.
Why the Owner Chose San Pedro
We built in San Pedro, Belize because of the ease. They welcome American developers & with English being the primary language, it is very easy to communicated your likes & desires when building.

The house of El Fuerte was everything I expected and I felt like I was at home in San Pedro. The people were so nice and helpful in finding us anything we wanted. We snorkled at Shark Ray Alley and it was absolutely beautiful. Eddie made sure we taken care of and was helpful in anything we need to know. He was just a call away if we needed him and also give us all the privacy we wanted. Thank you Eddie!! We rented a golf cart for the week and highly recommend that to anyone coming to the island because that is the mode of transportation for everyone. We went everywhere!! I already miss the house and one day would like to go back.

We spent a memorable week at El Fuerte for our 25th anniversary. It offers the perfect combination of privacy and access to everything San Pedro has to offer. The property manager took care of everything from airport transportation to golf cart rental to arranging our fishing and snorkeling excursions. Staying in a home gave us the opportunity to experience this beautiful paradise in a way most tourists don't usually get to do. We highly recommend renting a golf cart and visiting BC's beach bar!

I wanted to get away and experience island life and it was paradise!! The house was our home away from home with an island flare. We enjoyed a glass of wine on the porch every evening. The water and beaches were beautiful and the Pina Coladas and food were even better. Eddie the house manager took care of our every wish - snorkeling, fishing, jet skiing, sightseeing to the Mayan Ruins, spa treatments, and golf carts to get around the island. We can't wait to return next year for a longer stay!!! As they say on the island - It was "unbelizable".

Wow, what an amazing vacation we had at this lovely home. From our first contact with the extremely helpful property manager/owner to the day that we reluctantly had to return home, this was a first-class experience. The home is lovely, clean, comfortable and perfectly located. There are so many exciting things to do in the area to fill one's days, but it was tempting just to spend the days lazing around the house, enjoying the gorgeous weather, the beach, and the peace and beauty. We are already planning a return trip with our son and his friends to celebrate their graduation. I highly recommend this home, the lovely El Fuerte to anyone who is planning a visit to Belize.

We were looking for a hassle free, relaxing sunny get away spot filled with lots of adventure, WOW!! We found it!! We couldn't believe how helpful the property owners were. They helped us with transportion from the mainland too San Perdo and arranged for some one to greet us at the San Perdo airport and helping get us to the golf cart rental company, then showing us some of the area on our way to the house. Words can not describe this beauitful home The house had everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable it was like being in our own home. Each day started of with coffee on the porch and ended with star gazing in the hammock and in between we filled the days with snorkeling, scuba diving, golf cart riding, sight seeing,taking a mainland tour of the mayan ruins as well as a few island water tours followed up with dining at the many area restaurant spcializing in the island cuisine. The memories of our stay are in abundants and we look forward to returning in the future. We highly recommend this vacation home for your relaxing vacation spot.

We got married on the beach of Victoria House & we spent our honeymoon at El Fuerte. We were looking for privacy with all the eminities of home & we got both. The property managers are great & they took care of arranging all our excursions. Even got us a great price on a golf cart. We welcomed the opportunity to travel back to SP & El fuerte. Thanks for sharing your home with us. :)
