We had an amazing time on our trip to Placencia and staying at Casa Sunsandsea.
The home is stunning, but also very comfortable and welcoming. We enjoyed the opportunity to experience Placencia and the surrounding area, and then come back to every comfort of home in the evenings. Literally - every comfort of home - from large TVs and tons of cable channels (not that you'll want it), high speed WIFI, comfy furniture and beds, fully equipped kitchen... every detail and more has been thought of.
The location is convenient to going into the Village for the day, or out on an excursion, but it's far enough outside the Village to be peaceful and private. Set just off the main road, it's quiet yet convenient.
We loved sitting on the balcony off our second floor bedroom to watch the sunrise and enjoy the breeze off the ocean. Seriously, the views can't be beat. You could spend all day just hanging out on the deck around the pool looking at the ocean and be very happy! We also took the kayaks out for a while (even saw some manatees!) and enjoyed running on the beach. Then we spent some time relaxing in the hammocks under the palapa. Glorious!
In the afternoon and evenings, the breeze coming in through the open sliding doors on the back kept us cool. We took advantage of the meal prep services and enjoyed some amazing meals cooked by David and Christy.
Speaking of, David and Christy were AMAZING. They welcomed us to Casa with open arms and ensured we were settled and comfortable. They are a great source of information and answered all our questions about Belize, Placencia, the culture, where to go, what to eat and more. And they're so much fun to spend time with, but never pushed their presence on us. They took excellent care of the house - it was clean and well kept, and any request we had was met quickly and with an eagerness to ensure our stay was everything we hoped.
Casa would be great for a couple of families or three couples travelling together. With 4 bedrooms (plus the sleeper sofa on the third floor) and plenty of space, you can enjoy being together and still have privacy.
The owners are super helpful and answered all of our questions prior to our trip. They have a great story behind the house, which you don't want to miss. It's definitely Texas hospitality transferred to the beaches of Placencia.
Don't miss Hugh - the huge wood manatee! He sits right on their beach and is the perfect background for a photo!
