Placencia Village vacation rentals

Unbelievably perfect vacation with Gecko!!! We stayed at Sand Castle Vista near the village and it was outstanding. The villa itself is beautiful- new and perfectly maintained, but what really sets Gecko Vacations apart are the people and service. We were pampered beyond expectation- chef, housekeeping, groundskeeping, concierge and everyone else on the Gecko staff - all were far above and beyond. We never had a want for anything. The staff worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect for us. The Villa, pool and beach were meticulously maintained. Every meal our chef made was fantastic - we asked for several of his recipes which he gladly shared. The response to any question or request was quick and thorough. This was our third time vacationing with Gecko and we can’t wait until we can do so again.

Pointe House is an attractive, clean, and well-appointed vacation home. There is a friendly caretaker on site. The pool is very nice and the views are outstanding.The road to the village is a little rocky for walking after dark so renting a golf cart may be a good idea.

We had such a relaxing stay. Sunrises in the morning from the porch are stunning. Candy and Rick were both so helpful and nice. Candy even arranged for the Tropic Air fight to wait for us since our flight was several hours late. They go on and beyond in helpfulness. Thank you so much for everything.

This was such an incredible stay. The Slow Loris did in fact help us slow down and enjoy the beauty Placencia had to offer. Our family of six felt so comfortable here with all the space provided. The beds were exceptionally comfortable! We enjoyed the evening breeze and morning sunrises. Such a special place to us that we would love to re visit in the future.

We had a fantastic time staying at Sunset Gecko. The condo was very comfy and service was spectacular. The building is close enough to restaurants to walk but far enough away to avoid the noise. I only wish somebody would fix the potholes and bumps in the road.

We enjoyed the much needed break from work and our busy life at home. We enjoyed the sun rises and sunsets. Pool, canoes and being walking distance from everything in the village. We enjoyed your caregivers Rubien and Rufina, and Luna the dog. Hope to book with you again soon.

Bird Island has been a dream vacation for us for a long time. And after years of looking at pictures and reading reviews online, it was almost surreal to step foot on the island for the first time. "I can't believe we're really here" went through my mind several times throughout the week. The entire experience was amazing! The logistics were smooth, from meetup to shopping to transportation - Leo handled it all in a professional and friendly manner. Fred and Ruth were there to welcome us upon arrival and the hand off went off without a hitch. The island itself is a dream! This is not a five star luxury resort, so don't expect that sort of experience. This is something different - an island getaway where you are isolated, free, and truly at one with the ocean and nature around you. Snorkeling, kayaking, and fishing are second to none. At night the sky lit up with stars in a way that you just don't experience in city life. Of course I have to give a nod to Thurman who gave us an amazing experience and made sure we had enough fish to eat for the whole week! All in all it was a dream come true, and an adventure that I will treasure for the rest of my life.

This place was perfect for our two families of four. Two of the bedrooms are completely separate (you have to go outside to enter), which was nice for a little bit of separation. Kitchen has full size appliances and a dishwasher! The screened in porch is great for evening bugs. Ruben takes amazing care of the grounds. He was outside raking the sand every morning (I think he sprays for bugs too, which was great. We definitely got way more bug bites when we went out to dinner at night than when we stayed home). We had Ruben and Mariza cook for us two nights and it was sooo delicious. Agree with everyone else, much better than the food we got out. Everyone raves about the key lime pie which was delicious, but the chocolate cake was amazing! Definitely get the 2 for 1 pizzas at Turtle Inn on Sunday night. They are great. The water and beach right at the house were perfect for our 5-8 yo kids. They loved the kayaks and SUP. On calm days, you can go quite far up and down the shoreline. It’s very close to the airport but no early or late flights. It really didn’t disturb our experience. We rented a car and drove from BZE. Easy drive and given the location, was really necessary. You are far enough from Placencia town and/or Maya Beach that you will want transportation. Amazing place, would definitely recommend!
