If you're visiting PG or need a home-base for exploring southern Belize, these casitas are *the best*! They are immaculate and thoughtfully decorated, plus there are ridiculous creature comforts such as extra pillows, matching linens, fully-furnished kitchens (with microwaves, gas stoves, full-sized refrigerators, coffee maker, kettle, and 5-gallon drinking water dispensers), on-demand hot water, and, the most amazing luxury in the jungle, air conditioning. There are also provided flashlights/candles in the event of a power outage; I never needed them, but it was comforting to know they were available during the intense thunderstorms. The wi-fi is secure and the best in PG-- I was able to do a lot of stateside work without issue. The spacious grounds are beautifully landscaped and your home will be decorated with an exotic fresh flower arrangement from just outside your door.
Your hosts (and their rescue dogs) will visit with you as little or as much as you'd like as there is a gate separating the hosts' property from the rental. I loved the chats and insights for the town, and the patient answers to all of my questions. And if you're homesick for your dogs as I was, you can request that the dogs be allowed to roam the (fenced) grounds for daily visits.
The pictures are true to form but they don't capture the spirit of the property which is tremendously inviting and cozy. I enjoyed PG and the surrounding villages, but definitely looked forward to coming "home" each day to relax either in the a/c, in the hammock, at the outdoor tables on the covered porches, or in the pool. It is apparent that the hosts will not only work hard but also take great pride to provide a memorable and stress-free stay. Laura was quick to respond to my many VRBO messages prior to my arrival, and would check-in with me each morning to be sure there was nothing I needed for "my" home.
I stayed alone at this property for two weeks and always felt safe, secure, and flat-out blissful. I will continue to recommend these casitas to my colleagues who need a short-term rental in PG, plus I intend to return as well for 2-week+ stints. So, if you're considering a stay at either rental at this property, don't delay in securing your reservation because we certainly will not!
