Spend your dream Belizean vacation just steps away from the Caribbean Sea as residents of 'Tres Banderas', a gorgeous, private villa situated on a former coconut plantation 3.5 miles north of San Pedro Town. This spacious, gated property affords you a tranquil escape from it all while being merely a short walk away from this exclusive area's many offerings in the way of fine dining, day trips, ocean adventures and the laid-back local nightlife.
Nestled between Captain Morgan’s Retreat & Casino and the Belizean Cove Resort, this custom-built property is on 1.7 acres and features cathedral ceilings, a full gourmet kitchen equipped to delight a master chef, excellent WiFi, a 60-inch flat screen TV with extensive cable, full laundry facilities and air conditioning – just some of the amenities you’ll have at your fingertips while overlooking the Barrier Reef with an unobstructed ocean view.
The villa was designed in harmony with the tropical climate and the unspoiled beauty of the surrounding environment. At your disposal is a private dock – ideal for fishing or relaxing under the palapa; a large covered veranda – perfect for al fresco dining and unwinding with cocktails as the sun sets and a lovely upper roof deck offering breathtaking panoramic views: ’the spot' for indulging in a romantic candlelit dinner, sharing a bottle of wine or for some early morning yoga as the sun rises over the crystal-clear ocean waters.
Housekeeping services are provided midweek on weeklong stays. We also have a helpful onsite caretaker will ensure your expectations are exceeded and that your every need is met. The caretaker lives in a separate cottage on the property.
San Pedro Town is only a 10-minute trip via golf cart on the paved road. Most guests prefer the convenience of a golf cart rental to fully explore Ambergris Caye (recently voted the 'Best Island in the World'), we are happy to reserve one for you. We are committed to making your island vacation fantasy a reality! Please Note-Tres Banderas is directly in-between the Belizean Cove Estates and Captain Morgans
Accommodations include the master bedroom with a king bed and unique his-and-hers bathrooms, bedroom 2 and 3 each have a queen bed. The third bathroom is connected to the open-plan living room. The third bathroom has a walk in shower and is also connected to bedroom 3 via a door.

The house was well appointed and in a great location convenient to grocery store, local eateries and town. We loved the privacy, swimming pool & outdoor seating areas. Can't beat the view!

Thanks Bradley, we look forward to havign you back! Scott
Great house and location, friendly owners. Unfortunately the sargassum was out of control and the “beach” area was under construction so we felt like we couldn’t enjoy everything as expected. We looked at construction trucks and a mess so we avoided the entire area beyond the pool and that was a bummer. San Pedro in general is a fun area with many options to eat/drink at and the people there are very friendly. The house is very nice, I would just check on what to expect with the sand/beach/sargassum when you’re going to avoid disappointment.
House was in great shape, collaboration was top notch with the owner and the help. Daily, the help would bring out hammocks, set up the chairs and umbrella when weather permitted. Yard was in fantastic shape. Great people and great place.
The house is very beautiful and spacious, and very well appointed. It was exactly as posted so no surprises and they have almost anything you could possibly need. We loved having Happy Hour at the bar by the pool and the pool itself is great. Loved the stools and various ledges. Check in was easy and communications with host was also very easy. They answered all our questions and helped us out with some logistics.
Our stay at Tres Banderas Villa in San Pedro, Belize was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place is something special. The property itself is stunning—beautifully designed, impeccably maintained, and perfectly positioned to capture the relaxing island vibe while still feeling private and upscale.The villa offers the best of both worlds: peaceful seclusion with easy access to everything San Pedro has to offer. Every detail of the home is thoughtfully curated, from the comfortable furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen and spacious outdoor areas that make it easy to relax.What truly sets Tres Banderas Villa apart is the experience. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, fishing right off the dock, or heading out for a quick golf cart ride into town, everything feels effortless. It’s the kind of place where you instantly settle in and don’t want to leave.A huge part of what made our stay so incredible was the hospitality. Cindy, the host, was absolutely amazing—responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail of our trip was perfect. Orlando, who helps manage the property on-site, was equally fantastic. He was always available, incredibly friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Together, they made the entire exp
We truly enjoyed our stay. It's so nice to arrive at a home that is well appointed and clean. We had everything we needed at the house to make our vacation relaxing. Would recommend.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay with us, Tonja. Our goal is that Tres Banderas is your home in the Caribbean. We would be delighted to see you again should your travel plans take you to Ambergris Caye.
We arrived at the property and we promptly met by Orlando and showed around. Orlando and his family were great. The home was everything we had hoped for and more. Clean and decorated butifully. The views were spectacular. Location was close enough to everything and far enough to be peaceful. Highly recommended.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this property. WE LOVE IT! The views are amazing. The property management made everything so easy, including arranging covid testing arriving at the house before we left. We will be back again soon!

Excellent location to get-away-from-it-all
About 3.5 miles north of San Pedro, so it's away from the bar scene, but close enough to be able to pop in for shopping, activities, etc. House has wonderful views directly overlooking the sea. No swimming pool, and sea is too shallow to be inviting, but there is a dock for fishing, boating, relaxing, etc. A number of good restaurants within a short drive by golf cart. Highly recommended.

Thank you, Ross, for the kind review. We do our utmost for our guests and we are pleased that you both enjoyed your stay at Tres Banderas. We agree that our location allows a calm and beautiful setting outside of town, but close enough to drive in for the San Pedro activities. Thanks for being part of our Tres Banderas family.
This property does not disappoint! The location is perfect, being close enough to downtown yet far enough to enjoy all it has to offer without the hustle and bustle. There are several restaurants, bars and resorts within minutes. The view is "unbelizable"! I could have stayed at the house all week and stared out into the sea. Everything was in working order and there were all of the extras needed like towels, kitchen utensils, pans, toiletries....you name it they had it ready for us. It is great for 2 couples or a family of 4. We will definitely be back again!

Great vacation hom
The property was just as advertised and more. My wife and I and another couple thoroughly enjoyed the entire trip. Besides the place being immaculate, the property caretaker did everything we asked from him, including fixing us a wonderful barbecue chicken lunch one day. He wasn't fluent in English but that wasn't a big problem, especially when his young son was there to serve as interpreter.
We had two wonderful day long excursions, snorkeling one day and visiting the Mayan Ruins and cave tubing the other. I would recommend renting a golf cart. It was so easy exploring the entire island on the cart. While the town of San Pedro is 3.5 miles away, it didn't seem that far driving there in a cart on the paved road.
The only negative was the seaweed washing up on shore on our side of the island but that didn't keep us from swimming off the dock. Also, just a short cart ride to Secret Beach on the other side of the island and the water was crystal blue as far out as you could go.
We enjoyed our morning coffee and evening cocktails on the balcony every day we were there. It was so peaceful. And, there are so many great places to eat nearby or enjoy a pina colada at one of the beach bars just a short walk in the sand away.
We hope to return to Belize some day and we wouldn't hesitate renting this beach villa again.
Thanks for the experience.

Thank you, Terry, for the kind review. Marta and I take great pride in offering our guests a real home in Belize. Orlando, our caretaker, has been with us since the house was built and he dedicates himself to the security and comfort of our guests. Jorvic, his young son, was raised on the island and is therefore bilingual. We call him our embassador! We are glad that you sampled Orlando's BBQ skills. He also barbeques fish.
Yes, the seaweed on the east side of the island is a nuisance at the edge of the beach and is something Orlando has to attend to every day, as you know, hauling it to the back. It's new in the Caribbean and we hope it stops as quickly as it started. The sooner the better! Marta also swims every day off the end of the pier where she also enjoys the water as you did.
We gladly look forward to you all returning to your home in the Caribbean.
Yours truly,
Steve and Marta
This house was so much more than what we had expected!
As you drive into the property, there is a short covered area that is somewhat “romantic”. Like. Little love tunnel.
The house from the back is also beautifully designed with tropical vegetation. We were greeted by several of the locals (iguanas) which gave us a little head nod!
Every room is open and very clean! I fell in love with the Chef’s kitchen! It has everything you would need, even a coffee grinder, which I was very thankful for! The windows are very grand, bringing in that beautiful Caribbean Sea to fill every space in the living area!
The first deck (covered) is perfect for the afternoon sun and the upper deck is perfect for viewing millions of stars.
The beds are very comfortable and we all slept like babies! (Pillows need to be upgraded though), just a small thing.
Orlando was very sweet and did his best to communicate with us, he was also very attentive to our needs. We asked where to get ice and it was there within minutes! He was awesome and we appreciated him very much!
The home has easy access to grocery and the city but far enough out of San Pedro to enjoy the quietness of the island.
Our stay could not have been any better!
Thank you,
Orlando for all your help
Kelin for keeping in touch
Scott for letting us stay in your home!
Overall, the home is well kept, well maintained and perfect location.
Hello, Eric. We strive to offer our guests a beautiful, private and secure home in the Caribbean. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Tres Banderas, and look forward to your return in the future.
This house is amazing. Everything you could possibly need and great location. The management company was so great I couldn’t have asked for better service and communication. Orlando was available at all times while we were there and made us feel very safe. I would highly recommend this property. You will not be disappointed

we had a fantastic stay at the house. House was very clean and updated. The view was fantastic and onsite caretaker Orlando is a very humble guy who is a perfect steward for the property. We would highly recommend a stay. There is one large concern though. We noticed that the property was for sale. We had booked a different house and 2 weeks before leaving were informed that it had been sold and our reservation cancelled. We were left scrambling to find a different vrbo until we found this one so be aware when booking that you might be out if it sells

Would have given it five stars if the odor from the laundry room wouldn’t have been so strong. Apparently there was a drainage issue that created a very pungent odor.

Tres Banderas = Cinco Estrellas
Tres Banderas was the perfect place for our family vacation. The home itself is beautiful and well-appointed. The owners' attention to detail is evident throughout the home and property. The location is ideal for enjoying all that Ambergris Caye has to offer - fishing, snorkeling, site seeing and relaxing. Simply everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy our time in Belize was either in or close to Tres Banderas.
The owners have also has chosen the right people to care for and oversee the property and its guests. The property's caretaker, Orlando, is wonderful. Aside from meticulously maintaining the property, Orlando made sure that all of our needs were met. One of the best aspects of our trip was sharing dinner with Orlando and his family after a successful day of fishing. I also cannot say enough good things about the assistance we received from Brittany McCann and Sotheby's International Realty. Brittany's responsiveness to our numerous questions about traveling to Belize was excellent. We were greeted upon our arrival in San Pedro, provided taxi service to and from Tres Banderas and had a golf cart waiting for us when we arrived at the home. Brittany also provided us with spot on recommendations for excursions.
If you are looking for a true Ambergris Caye experience from what amounts to your own private resort, then Tres Banderas is for you.

Perfect Spot, Beautiful Home, Great Location
This property does not disappoint. The pictures were spot on and the home, beds, veranda, viewing deck, pier were luxurious and comfortable. Orlando and his son are amazing and we were well taken care of. The property manager, Brittany, was quick to respond to all questions and made the trip quite easy to be ready for. The home itself is amazingly built - its quiet, comfortable and very homey. The decorations inspired us and we found businesses that sold the wood carvings and coconut painted fish. We absolutely loved being here. The location is very nice - just far enough from town that you felt it was private, but was beside Captain Morgan's if you like the casino and we used their pool. Chuck & Robbie's dive shop picked me up right from the pier, so that was incredibly convenient and Brittany arranged a golf cart for us at a great price. Overall, you will be extremely happy making this your home on San Pedro - it is elegant, beautiful and comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Scott Elder
Why they chose this property
This house was a dream of 40 years for Steve, who first came to Ambergris Caye in 1971. Steve and his wife Marta built the house in 2011. Steve is American, Marta is Argentine and they lived in Belize. Therefore, three flags - Tres Banderas in Spanish. In 2021, Scott purchased the home from Steve and Marta. Scott was born in Scotland, mostly lives in Texas and Belize, so the three flags took on a new meaning - Scotland, Texas and Belize.
What makes this property unique
The location of Tres Banderas, called Punta Arena, is close enough to town for shopping and restaurants, but secluded enough for relaxation. There are several restaurants nearby that will satisfy even the most discerning appetites.
