Out-of-the-Box Design • Unobstructed Caribbean Views • Modern Island Living

Ready for a vacation that breaks away from the ordinary? Welcome to Box House Boca Ciega, a uniquely designed oceanfront retreat crafted from repurposed shipping containers and elevated to capture spectacular, unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea.

Located approximately four miles south of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Belize, this one-of-a-kind home combines modern urban style with tropical island living. Industrial-inspired details, native Belizean hardwood cabinetry, polished concrete countertops, and expansive floor-to-ceiling patio doors create a distinctive space that feels both contemporary and connected to its natural surroundings.

Experience Box House Boca Ciega for yourself: Take the Virtual Tour

A One-of-a-Kind Home with a View

Designed with an open-concept layout, Box House Boca Ciega brings the kitchen, living area, and studio-style bedroom together in one bright, airy space. Its minimalist aesthetic allows the architecture and breathtaking ocean views to take center stage, while thoughtful touches add warmth and character.

The home's original shipping-container flooring, complete with its preserved rivets, celebrates its unconventional construction. Native hardwood cabinetry brings a touch of Belizean craftsmanship, creating a memorable blend of industrial design and tropical charm.

The fully equipped kitchen features full-size stainless steel appliances, concrete countertops, small appliances, cookware, and everything you need to prepare meals at home. Please note that the kitchen includes a stovetop but does not have an oven. A convenient breakfast bar with stools serves as the dining area.

The comfortable living space includes a full-size futon sofa and television, while the studio-style bedroom features a king-size bed, television, closet space, and a nearby private bathroom. The modern bathroom includes a concrete vanity countertop and a spacious tiled walk-in shower. A separate large closet provides additional storage, and a tucked-away washer/dryer adds convenience for longer stays.

Air-conditioning is available throughout the home, but when the tropical breeze calls, simply open the expansive patio doors and let the ocean air flow through.

Your Private Front-Row Seat to the Caribbean

The elevated design of Box House Boca Ciega makes the sea an integral part of the experience. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors connect the interior to the outdoors, allowing the Caribbean landscape to become part of your everyday surroundings.

Step onto the wide, east-facing veranda that stretches across the entire front of the home. It's the perfect place to greet the morning with a cup of coffee, watch the sun rise over the water, or spend a quiet afternoon enjoying the sea breeze.

Whether you're relaxing in the living area, preparing breakfast, or unwinding in the bedroom, the ocean is always close by.

This isn't your typical beachfront rental. It's a thoughtfully designed architectural retreat for travelers who appreciate distinctive spaces, modern comforts, and a spectacular setting.

Make It a Two-Unit Escape with the Casita

Traveling with another couple, friends, or family who would appreciate their own space? Enhance your stay by adding the Box House Boca Ciega Casita, located just behind the main house.

The separate casita accommodates two guests and features:

A comfortable queen-size bed

A kitchen

A private bathroom

Air-conditioning and a ceiling fan

An outdoor deck with seating

The main oceanfront home accommodates two guests, with a full-size sleeper sofa offering additional sleeping flexibility. The casita provides separate accommodations for two more guests, making the combination an appealing option for a small group seeking both togetherness and privacy.

Important booking information: The casita is not included in the main home's standard reservation. It must be booked separately through its own listing. If you'd like to reserve both properties together, please contact us for assistance.
