Map & Owner's Profile
Solaria Villa II, Luxurious 4 Bedroom Island Home on the Beach
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose San Pedro
We came to Belize and traveled all over the country including the mountains and the Southern jungle and beach areas. We finally decided on Ambergris Caye because it had everything we look for including restaurants, shops, and most importantly we could maintain our private lives without the crowding and other problems of life in many other places.
However the main reason we chose Belize was the character of the Belizean people who are so friendly and helpful it is like stepping back in time. Whether you rent our villa or not please do yourself a favor and visit Belize.
The Unique Benefits at this Villa
This is a very private place yet accessible to all the sights and sounds of this beautiful island. You can step from the front door and be in the hot tub or pool without ever getting sand on your shoes. We are set back from the beach far enough that the traffic that passes there on occasion doesn't intrude on our privacy. Peaceful, quiet, calm and soothing is how I would describe Solaria.
Beach Front directly between Las Terrazas and Rendezvous French Restaurant. Very private and quiet.

A stunning retreat in the already stunning Ambergris Caye of Belize. The house is both luxurious and comfortable, with all the amenities and then some. I love the circular shape of the two masters upstairs, the winding staircase, the tasteful furnishings and finishings (much of it natural wood and stone). Kayak right out to the reef, bike down the beach, or take a boat to one of the amazing restaurants. You can be as active or as quiet as you like here. The caretaker and his family are amazing, and the Belizean people more generally are warm and hospitable. Treat yourself and your family or friends. Easily the best vacation I've had in a very long while.

Amazing Tropical Getaway

We saw this property on solariabelize.com, and we were NOT disappointed. It was our first trip to Belize, and we will definitely be going back. Travel from Belize City to Ambergrise Caye was very smooth, and once we arrived at Solaria II, we didn't worry about getting anywhere again until the day we left. The house was very beautiful, clean, and had an awesome kitchen. The bedrooms were oversized with extremely comfortable beds, and the almost every room had a flat screen TV and comfy chairs and couches. The pool outside was stunning -- with a direct walkway / boardwalk to the pool and a jacuzzi. I'd highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxury vacation spot. The property itself was calm, quiet, and very relaxing. You could sit outside for hours and never be disturbed. There were multiple restaurants within walking distance that we would definitely go back to again. In San Pedro nearby, there was also a very lively community with nightlife, street vendors, bars, and more. If you're interested in the reef, this is definitely the place you want to stay. It's right next to a dive company that can take you to many places nearby like Hol Chan or the Blue Hole. This property came with multiple kayaks, so one day we just paddled out 5 minutes and snorkeled right on the reef (it's so close!). In summary, this property has something for everyone, and I've been telling everyone I know who does Caribbean vacations to try this spot! You won't be disappointed.

Lavish Tropical Getaway

My wife and I visited this home and were blown away as we approached the property via boat. This home looked like every component was hand-picked when building it. The owner took pride in creating this larger than life with a back to nature look. The staff were inviting and more than accommodating. This private home helped us relax and be spiritually centered. If you are looking for a place to get away in luxury this is the place to go. This would be a fun place for the whole family with the beach front property, pool, hot tub, ATV to travel to the city and other local restaurants. The beachfront dock allows local adventure packages such as snorkeling to provide a curb (ocean) side pick up.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

The most peaceful and serene place my fiance and I have ever experienced. I absolutely fell in love with this home, its eco-friendly decor, the amazing oceanfront views.... sunrise, and sunset, it is both ultra-comfortable and aesthetically stunning. This tranquil setting left me listening to the birds and feeling like I was the only there along with taking the A-TV or boat down the beach for an evening of music and gourmet cuisine. The groundskeeper and people I came into contact with went out of their way to make sure we were beyond comfortable. They also gave us utmost privacy. We took the house kayaks over to the lagoon, rode bikes down the beach, attended an incredible yoga class in the gazebo on the ocean, and went on a catamaran excursion day tour where we were picked up right at our dock. Our favorite restaurant was Rojo lounge, located right on the ocean it is casual, romantic, and the food is incredible. We would love to go back to Solaria II, next time with the kids!

The perfect paradise

We made a last minute request for availabilty and our request was answered immediately and all help was provided to ensure that we managed to arrive to the villa and we were comfortably welcomed after our long travels. The villa was an absolute oasis and paradise for us and we loved it. It is located right on a quiet white-sand beach front with the barrier reef only a stone's throw way. The sunningly and tastefully decorated and spacious villa was complete with all amenities one could ask for, including kayaks for use to go sea kayaking and bikes to ride along the beach to the nearby grocery store for fresh fruits and breakfast or into town. The views from the kitchen and living room and from the top floor terrace and bedroom gave us a smile each day, especially when waking up to a beautiful sunrise directly over the reef and flooding the villa with natural light and seeing the fauna enjoying the setting as much we did. The jacuzzi was great for relaxing after an active day of exploring the reef. Help was on always on hand if we required anything. Thank you Martin, Rachael and Jose for a memorable stay!! It was definitely a stay we will never forget! I definitely did not want to leave. Perfect if you are looking for a private paradise getaway.

The property is definitely in the "excellent" category. The house is spacious with all bedrooms en suite. The furniture and appliances are all top notch.Each room has a flat screen TV. There are restaurants within walking distance, accessible by the beach, To get into town, there is a regular boat service which stops at the dock 100 yards from the house. Overall, this property is ideal for a laid back holiday in luxurious and idyllic surroundings. Highly recommended.

The Best Beach House in Belize!

This remarkable four bedroom and four and one half bath house is the perfect beach house. Walk out the front door to the veranda and then step either into the beautiful custom pool or the jacuzzi hot tub. The house is not only beautifully furnished with local hardwoods and handicrafts it is completely equipped with flat screen televisions in every bedroom and a high definition large home theater system with surround sound in the living room. The owner even makes available a pretty good sized library of videos for your use. The video player is BluRay and he even has some of those beautiful Nature series. The owner also provides kayaks and bicycles for your use along with most everything else you would need. Of course you can go fishing right off the pier that is positioned at the front of the property by the beach. There is literally everything here that you could want and the concierge can arrange for anything you may want or need from provisioning the house before you arrive to a private chef to cook your meals. The photos and descriptions are accurate although the reality is much better than depicted on the website. There are plenty of restaurants in the area and you can walk for miles on the beach in either direction. Do yourself a favor and try this stunning property for yourself.
