Overview
Just across the street from the beach, and not listed as beachfront.
Nestled peacefully between the Caribbean Sea and the Placencia Lagoon is the jewel of Maya Beach; Mi Sastun. This tropical haven will have a healing and rejuvenating effect on all who stay here. This charming house offers many amenities, such as east and west verandas, air conditioning, 32'television/100+channels, ceiling fans, fully equipped kitchen, three bedrooms(2 queen size, two singles), spacious living/dining area and lush tropical landscaping. All this and it's only a 60 second walk to the sea. Lagoon access is a short kayak ride from the house. THIS HOUSE IS NOT LISTED AS BEACHFRONT, but just across the street from the beach. First class dining is also close at hand. The Maya Beach Bistro and the Green Parrot Beach Houses are only a brief walk away. There is a grocery store, several bars, and even a bowling alley in Maya Beach. Land and sea tours can be arranged through the Green Parrot Beach Houses. The manager, Leo Ramirez, and his friendly staff can see to your every need.
Just a short kayak ride from the beach, you will find False Caye. This small island is surrounded by coral heads, sea fans, many tropical fish and an occasional manatee will swim past. All you will need is a mask and snorkel to enjoy these colorful sights.
Just six miles to the south, is the village of Placencia. A bustling little town, filled with restaurants, bars, gift shops, grocery stores, banks(ATM) and friendly locals. There is a bus service and taxis to take you to and from Placencia. Rental cars are also available in the village.
Whether you are into reef trips, Mayan ruins, cave tours, bird and wildlife watching, zip lining or just walking the miles of white sand beaches, you will find it all at Mi Sastun.
Please contact for any questions.
About Larry F. Smith
I traveled extensively, in search of the 'right place'. Boating to Belize from Honduras, I saw Placencia on the horizon. Magic!! Coming ashore, I knew my search was over. As close to paradise as I had ever been, I was taken in. I began looking at properties and found a double lot in Maya Beach and Mi Sastun would soon become a reality. I am still working in the U.S., but try to get 'home' every two to three months. I have enjoyed this beautiful home since 2005 and have decided to share it with some of the lucky folks who find themselves in southern Belize. Come, stay, enjoy.

Why Larry F. Smith chose Maya Beach
This property was where I wanted to be; close to the sea and the lagoon. Accessibility to all my needs. Great neighbors, good friends.
What makes this house unique
I feel the unique benefits of this home have to do with its location on the peninsula. You can take advantage of the proximity of the ocean for fishing, diving, snorkeling or beachcombing. Also, the access to the lagoon exposes you to some of the best fishing Belize has to offer. Here you will find snook, tarpon, jacks, Jewfish etc. Each one offers an exciting adventure and a tasty dinner that evening.

One Happy Traveler ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What an absolutely fantastic place. Mi Sastun filled all our needs and is located in the perfect spot. The house itself is tastefully decorated and fully equipped with all the amenities you need to have a super vacation. Mi Sastun is located by the beach, but also has access to the lagoon, where the fishing proved to be unmatched(snook, jack and mangrove snapper). The Maya Beach location is close to many sites of interest. Leo, the property manager, arranged all our excursions, from snorkeling trip to waterfalls and Mayan ruins. Leo is truly the best. The Green Parrot resort is just across the street with kayak rentals, wifi, a great restaurant/bar and a very friendly staff. Big thanks to Leo. We hope to return to Mi Sastun again next year. Can't wait. Charles

So relaxing!
Mi Sastun is an absolutely lovely place to stay. We were a group of 6 adults (ranging from 22-28), two sets of couples and two singles which worked perfectly for the beds since there are three rooms and one of the rooms has two single beds. Some of our favorite things about the property are that you have access to the beach right across the street at the Green Parrot (which is where you will find Leo, the property manager, who will help you with anything you need, including booking excursions, in his very friendly and laid back way). If you head down the side street towards the lagoon side you will find a great area to watch sunsets and to see the occasional dolphin! The house itself fit 6 of us perfectly. There are multiple places to hang out and relax. Our favorite was either playing games at the kitchen table or relaxing on the deck. The deck has patio chairs and a hammock for all of your relaxing needs. There are so many interesting birds that frequent the property for all the bird watchers out there. The kitchen had everything we needed and there is a grocery store close by for the basics. Maya Beach is away from the busier center of Placencia which we enjoyed but still close enough you can make a day trip for shopping, visiting a different beach or checking out new restaurants. Mi Sastun does not have Wi-Fi but that helps in the relaxing atmosphere and if you really need it you can head to one of the restaurants in the area. We enjoyed our stay very much at Mi Sastun!
Chill house in Mayo Beach
This house is exactly as described--three bedrooms, one with en suite bathroom. Large open living and dining room area with high ceilings. Small but adequate kitchen--we mostly ate out!! Never having been to Belize before, we didn't realize how far from Placencia this was--about a 15-20 min. drive. This had more positives than negatives! Plenty of places to eat right near us and several within walking distance. Beach was gorgeous and virtually empty. But more action, choices right in Placencia.
Absolutely beautiful beach right across the road and a 2 minute walk to the bay side. The owner isn't on site but has a manager right across the street who was very helpful and friendly. And owner very responsive and friendly!! No wifi in house but again, we could walk across the street and use it.
Beds were comfortable, plenty of hot water for 6 of us, AC worked well and also ceiling fans in each room.
Only criticism is it could have been freshened/cleaned right before we came. We know the gekkos are there and don't harm, but they do leave their waste around! Overall, we would stay there again and love it again!!
Clean property, prepared for our visit.
Mi Sastun was a lovely villa, by Central American standards, quite luxurious. Leo was a great help in planning excursions. Grocery store within 2 minute walk to the South. Maya Beach Bistro was fantastic, Mangoes was great, even the Green Parrot was nice - all within a five minute walk. If you want WiFi, you have to run to the Bistro - which is very workable. Maybe add WiFi to the villa in the future? Completely exhausted from snorkeling, zip lines, incredible waterfall climbs, and kayaking to false Caye.
Maya Beach Gem!!!
Mi Sastun is a fabulous place to stay! The house was clean and had all the extra things we needed. Extra towels, soap, shampoo, plus a fully stocked kitchen. Yes there is a coffee maker, and a percolator coffee maker if you choose the old fashion way. There is a water disperser, just walk to the market down the street to get a new jug (take the old one or they collect a deposit). We had six people in the house and always had hot water for showers. There is lots of parking in the back. The house and grounds are well maintained. The a/c units in each room work great! Too great, I actually woke up too cold and had to re-set it. The family room has a futon sofa, so it could sleep 1 more if needed. We loved sitting on the balcony in the morning listening to the birds. If there is anything you need Leo, the property manager is there to help.
We loved how close everything was: Green Parrot, Mango's, Belize Ocean Club (Belize Underwater Scuba), kayaks, the market, the lagoon.
I would highly recommend this property and we are hoping to go back next year to see the whale sharks.
Fantastic Spring Break Vacation!
If you're looking for a place to stay in Maya Beach.........look no further. You've found it! Great location the beach is an easy short walk away. I enjoyed walking the beach, collecting "treasures". Or if fishing or kayaking is your pleasure it is located on a canal that connects to a river where you can do both. We had some delicious snook meals. There is a nice coral reef off an island a short distance off the shore. We kayaked to it and snorkeled there. I enjoyed the hammock on the front porch a great place to kick back and read a book. The home is very comfortable, kitchen well stocked (we cooked many meals there) and furnish with beautiful locally made furniture. When we didn't feel like cooking there are some great restaurants within walking distance.
The property manager there, Leo is the best! Seems he's the "mayor" of the area, very knowledgeable and was able to make arrangements for our sightseeing needs.
I look forward to returning to Mi Sastun!
Awesome Vacation Experience
I highly recommend a stay at Mi Sastun in Maya Beach. The property is beautifully maintained with abundant flora and fauna.The house which sleeps 6 comfortably is located on a canal which takes the avid kayaker out to the river where fishing is excellent (snook and snapper made delicious dinners) It is located just a short walk from the beach and has various restaurants close by as well as a convenient grocery store. The Green Parrot resort is just across the street from Mi Sastun and Leo, the property manager is very knowledgeable and recommended a variety of touring activities like cave tubing, hiking at the Jaguar Preserve or visiting some of the many ancient ruins nearby. We were also able to snorkel along the beautiful reef located just a short kayak trip off the beach from Mi Sastun. It was a fantastic vacation and I would recommend it highly to anyone who is interested in exploring the beauty of Belize!
Map
Maya Beach is a 'laid back' little village in southern Belize. The pace slows down, as you step from the plane into a tropical paradise. No traffic jams, no clocks, just endless days on the beach or in a hammock sipping a cocktail or a local beer. Welcome to the Tropics, at their finest.
