About this property
Oceanfront 3Bd/3Bth Home w/ Blue Skies, Emerald Seas, Warm Winds & Coconut Trees
Welcome to La Isla Bonita! You will not find a more friendly and calming destination as San Pedro Belize and Villa La Jolla is the perfect hub for your island vacation!
Villa La Jolla is two-level mahogany and sandstone villa is located directly on the Caribbean Sea. The custom home has two ground level master suites with private bathrooms, including hand painted double sinks and both bedrooms open out to a covered porch overlooking the beach, palm trees and the Caribbean Sea. There is a 3rd large bedroom upstairs with a full bath just steps away. The large living & dining areas make up most of the 2nd floor, along with a full kitchen. There is a large upper deck with a comfy hammock and seating that overlooks the front yard of your dreams with blue skies, emerald seas, warm winds and coconut trees!
The four villas of Los Encantos spaciously encircle a lovely saltwater pool, with Villa La Jolla (unit #1) on the oceanfront. There are plenty of lounge chairs around the pool, on the beach and around to beautiful landscaped grounds. Choose either sun filled or shaded by a palm frond umbrella or coconut trees (or move to your own quiet corner of paradise).
You are close enough to San Pedro town, but still feels very private. San Pedro town can be accessed by road via golf cart or bike. And, there are great restaurants and bars that are a short distance up or down the beach from Villa La Jolla.
Ambergris Caye, Belize's largest island, is known for its water sports, scuba diving and Caribbean beaches. Within sight of your villa, the Belize Barrier Reef (the world’s 2nd largest) features famed snorkeling and dive sites such as the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with an abundance of sea life, and the 124m-deep Great Blue Hole.
While Villa La Jolla is on the Caribbean Sea side of the island, it's conveniently located adjacent to the island cross-road that goes to the infamous Secret Beach on the lagoon side of the island. Just a short drive across you'll find several establishments offering lounge chairs, shaded tables in the water, shaded docks, inner-tubes, over water massage, grilled food, cold beer, exotic concoctions & shallow turquoise waters! You can walk about 1/4 mile out from the beach in waist deep turquoise water! It’s a must see.
Villa La Jolla is a very comfortable, welcoming private home, the perfect “home base” for your amazing Ambergris Caye and Belize adventures. It may not be your choice if you seek 'gourmet kitchens' or 1000 thread count bedsheets. However, if you want somewhere you'll feel very welcomed, comfortable and able to live, relax and enjoy everything the island has to offer, then we're your choice. If there is anything you need or would like, our onsite caretaker and our San Pedro management company, Reef Management, will assist immediately. Reef and their terrific staff are a phone call away to arrange tours, golf carts rentals, bike rentals, water taxis, restaurant bookings - anything you wish.

Everything we needed was available for us at our stay! Harley and Nevia were fantastic and having her prepare dinner is a must! Pool was great for an afternoon cool down and having the golf cart was a huge plus. Being able to walk to shaggy‘s was also fantastic and very convenient. I would stay here again, no problem and highly recommend it to my friends and family!
Booked for my husband and I for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay. It’s in a quiet area and has a beautiful view. The pool is nice to relax in. Much time was spent swinging in the hammock on the balcony. The golf cart being at the property and ready to use when we arrived, and not having to return it to a rental location at the end of our stay was very convenient. I could go on about the house but best part about our stay was the caretaker, Harvey. He was always glad to help and made himself available. He even recommended an urgent care for my husband who was feeling ill and our experience with the urgent care he recommended was excellent, so Harvey's recommendation played a big part in us getting to enjoy the rest of our trip... which we did.The only thing that would have been nice is if the house had some basic beach gear like an umbrella, chairs, and a cooler.
Beautiful location, well appointed house, courteous and helpful caretakers. Location was generally quiet with easy access to restaurants etc. I would recommend and stay again.
Wonderful, peaceful place to stay. The onsite hosts were gracious and attentive. The pool, grounds, and condo were sparkling clean and we had (almost) everything we needed. I read the reviews before booking and misunderstood "laundry onsite" to mean we would have access to a washer. This was not the case, so be prepared. Also wanted to let parents of young children know that there is no portable crib, high chair, or baby gate available. Our granddaughter slept in a drawer on the floor. Despite those misunderstandings, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay.
We were able to stay at this beautiful villa from March 14-21, 2026. Our family loved being north of the bridge in a more remote area. We got to watch the sunrise every morning while having coffee. Everything about the property was perfect. Harley and Nevia were wonderful and were always offering help. The key lime pie was amazing. We will be back. Our family has decided this is going to be our new show up family location. We thank you all for the love that was shown to our family.
What a great home. It was clean and well situated away from the hustle of downtown but not far from great restaurants and markets. The house was clean and Harley was great.
Property was great! Beautiful location and views and everything was as described in the listing. Harley the caretaker helped us with anything we needed.
This is an awesome property, with a great team that makes everything feel like you’re at home on the beach. Harley and Navia are a great resource that live on the property. Let Navia cook you dinner at least once, get the fritters. We had some problems with canceled flights resulting in a day late arrival and having to stay two extra days. The property owners and their team made it more than right and were even able to accommodate the extra two days. This place is great and the location is really good.
The property was lovely, communication was quick and effective even through an emergency (hello cancelled flight home! It was very very tempting to just stay), and the location was far enough from downtown to be quiet, but easy to get to by golf cart. I loved sitting in the hammock on our front deck watching the sun rise, walking out on the dock to dangle my feet in the water, and relaxing in the pool or in the shade near the pool. Harly and Nevia took great care of us - if you ask her to cook dinner for you one night be sure to get the flan. Recommendations for future guests: wear your sunscreen, rent the golf cart, connect with Clinton for tours and transportation (seriously! His team is amazing and will show you all the amazing sights of Belize), sign up for the San Pedro food tour with Norma early on to get a taste of traditional Belizean food, be prepared for wind which you will appreciate, and visit Big Taste 2 for their birria tacos and chimichurri,
This was one of the all time best vacations we have ever had! The view, the home, the amazing property, the hosts Harley and Nevis, and the overall island experience is one to remember. We appreciated having a driver coordinated for our arrival and departure, all of the incredible suggestions for local restaurants and experiences. Loved the quiet atmosphere and access to the pool and the beach! Everything was kept so clean thanks to the hosts! What a way to wake up every day! Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise!!! Los Encantos is a property I would highly recommend!!
Such a beautiful place. House was perfect, clean and had everything you need. Any questions or concerns were immediately addressed. About 1/2 hour drive by golf cart into San Pedro. Shaggy’s Bar and Grill is literally right across the way. Fun place to grab a drink, make some friends and grab a meal! Harly and Nevia are AMAZING! Have Nevia cook for you, you will NOT regret it. The grounds are immaculately maintained. We had the best time and would definitely stay there again!

Thank you for taking the time to write. We hope you can return for some more great diving!
Loved this property. Visited this place with a group of 6 of us total. Host was great and helpful getting us golf carts, setting us up with excursions, and getting us to and from the property. It is a little far from downtown San Pedro but it is a beautiful property and I would definitely stay here again.
We couldn't be happier with our Los Encantos reservation. The property, house, views, pool and care takers were outstanding. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful property with us and going above and beyond to accommodate
Property was great and we really enjoyed having caretakers there as well. They answered our questions and even cooked us a fabulous meal!

This was an excellent house on the beach! Harley and Nevia were the best! We had Nevia fix us dinner one night when we returned from our excursion and it was the best meal we had all week. We had great communication with Harley the caretaker.
