Om overnatningsstedet

Hus; Oceanfront; Afsondret, Off-Grid med el, Wi-Fi og FABULOUS udsigt!

Det øverste niveau af huset - hvor du bor - sidder over palmetræet - og har derfor en ekstraordinær udsigt. Opholdsrummet har en indpakket veranda på tre sider - så du har en næsten 360 graders udsigt over havet, de omkringliggende øer, passerende både og virkelig utrolige solnedgange.

Opholdsrummet har sin egen private indgang, soveværelse, stue, badeværelse (bruser, håndvask og toilet), plus et stort køkken med køleskab, komfur og håndvask og masser af køkkenplads til madlavning af dine egne lækre karibiske retter, hvis du ønsker det. Vi har en udendørs grill til fastsættelse af frisk hummer, krabbe eller uanset skaldyr eller kød, du vælger. Nyd at slappe af i en hængekøje, mens du nyder udsigten - lige ved kysten af det dejlige indigo-farvede vand i Indigo Bay, og inden for en kilometer fra det fantastiske store barriererev i Det Caribiske Hav.

Ved vandkanten har vi en privat, meget rustik mole-perfekt til at se solnedgange, fugle eller til at kaste en linje til lækker rød snapper. For nylig er der blevet bygget en helt ny mole 100 meter fra vores hus. De fleste af alle vores gæster har fiskestænger og har held og lykke med at fange fisk.

Vores store kulgrill i huset er derefter perfekt til at grille din fangst.

Faciliteter: Rene ark seng i queensize-seng i soveværelset. Der er også to 4-skuffes kommoder i soveværelset.
Stuen har en sofa, bord og 4 stole og en behagelig læstol ved siden af vores bog / spilhylde.
Badehåndklæder og badehåndklæder er i badeværelset, plus en lille pengeskab, hvor du kan låse dine værdigenstande.

For nylig opgraderede solcellepaneler og vindmølle på vores tag leverer on-demand opvarmet vand til brusere og elektricitet til hjemmet.
Indigo Pearl er et velbygget hus på S. W. spidsen af øen. Hvis du ser på 'google map' (ved at klikke på 'Location fanen'), er vi placeret i området 'cutout' på den sydvestlige spids af øen. "Purple House" er bag os.

Vores hjem er enkelt og grundlæggende, men alligevel meget rummeligt, unikt, privat og med udsigt kan du ikke komme nogen steder i byen! Vi tilbyder så meget mere end mange andre valg til leje:

* Fuldt møbleret køkken: 4-brændeovn, ovn, køleskab, fryser, blender, brødrister, fransk pressemaskine, tallerkener, gryder / pander, kaffemølle; Vandet er rent og filtreret til drikke.

* Gratis brug af 2 (i alt) cykler ($ 20 USD / dag-værdi - hver).

* Gratis wi-fi i huset.

* Vi leverer brug af en mobiltelefon. (til lokale opkald - til vores vicevært, en golfkartaxi osv.)

* Vores placering er vores vigtigste værdi: vi er lige ved havet, i en dejlig privat beliggenhed midt i junglen. Nej, du har ikke ret i byen - vores hus er til folk, der ikke ønsker at have ret i byen :)

Når du ser på billedet af vores hus, kan du se, at det øverste niveau er for gæster, det midterste niveau er ubrugt, og det nederste niveau er opbevaring.

Vælg ikke os, hvis du vil blive 'forkælet' - vælg vores hus, hvis du elsker eventyr, og du vil leve som belizeanere gør. Hvis du ikke har brug for aircondition eller tv, og hvis du kan lide at cykle, og du ikke har noget imod at være 15 min. cykeltur fra kanten af byen, og hvis du kan lide at træne, og hvis du IKKE er bange for uforvarende at knuse en krabbe med dit cykeldæk, og du værdsætter fred, skønhed, åbne rum og en utroligt panoramaudsigt over havet, så tror vi, at du ville ELSKE vores hus. Vi bor personligt i 10 hektar afsondret jord i Illinois, og vi elsker at være væk fra skarer. Vi kan godt lide muligheden for at rejse til byen, når vi vil, men ellers værdsætter vi privatliv. Derfor vælger vi dette sted. Det er præcis, hvad vi elsker, og vi vil dele det med andre, der også nyder fred og ro og skønhed.

Det har været en læringskurve for os at indse, at ikke alle tænker som om vi gør eller værdsætter, hvad vi gør. Vi ønsker, at det skal være helt klart, at vores hus ikke er smukt - disse steder er på den nærliggende trafikstopede ø Ambergris Caye. Vores hus er enkelt og rent.

Vi har foretaget Kæmpe forbedringer af vores hus, siden vi først købte det. Vores datter boede i huset næsten et år, efter at vi købte det, og hun værdsatte absolut sine dage der. Derefter, 2 år senere, ville hun vende tilbage til bryllupsrejse på lang sigt med sin nye mand. De fik glæde af at bo i huset i 8 måneder derefter i 2013-2014 og fungerede som vores plejere;
Caye Caulker er fabelagtig - kommer med en følelse af eventyr! Forvent ikke liv som i U. S., og du vil blive behageligt overrasket. Caye Caulker er en meget enkel ø. Hvis du vil have det unikke i sandgaderne og atmosfæren uden biler, skal du ikke forvente luksus. Nyd den lille ø for dens enkelhed, og du vil blive glad. Alt hvad du behøver er et par tøjskifter, krokosko, solcreme, solbriller, insektafvisende, (vi er i en jungle i Mellemamerika !!) en badedragt og en vilje til at prøve noget nyt og sjovt!

Restauranterne er unikke, fantastiske og venlige - ligesom de lokale her! Du kan spise ude på de mange maleriske restauranter, eller du kan shoppe i en af de 5 lokale små købmandsforretninger og lave mad 'derhjemme på vores store kulgrill.

Den halv acre, der omgiver huset, er sandet med et dejligt udvalg af palmer og kokosnødetræer, der giver enten sol eller skygge, som du foretrækker.

Vores plejere vil ved din ankomst sende en taxa for at hente dig i vandtaxien eller den lokale lufthavn med en golf-vogn (den lokale 'taxa') og hente dig og din bagage til vores hus. (Ankomst og afgang til huset via en golfkartaxi er gæstens ansvar og betales ret til taxachaufføren ...)

Indigo Pearl Guesthouse er fredeligt beliggende i den rolige sydlige ende af øen, direkte på kysten med udsigt over det krystalblå vand i Caribien, og tilbyder en helt fantastisk udsigt over Det Caribiske Hav OG smukke solnedgange! Vores beliggenhed er stor og afsondret direkte på Indigo Bay.

Cykel (15 minutter), gå (25 minutter) eller golf-indkøbsvogn (leje tilgængelig i byen) den 1 km til kanten af den maleriske, lille lokale by via en autentisk, ru og ujævn jungelsti langs kysten.

Nyd en venlig, afslappet, barfodet lokal scene med restauranter, butikker, barer, strande og dykkebutikker eller vand-taxa til nærliggende Ambergris Caye Island (den travle by San Pedro) eller tilbage til Belize City. Lokale snorkelture er små grupper, billige priser & STUNNING! (der er endda en tur til at svømme med hajer og kæledyrsstænger.) Lokale fisketure tilbyder at tilberede din fangst! Mulighederne for afslapning ELLER for sjov er uendelige !!!

Caye Caulker er en meget unik og ret afslappet lille ø. Der er ingen resorts eller sådan luksus. Bare det enkle liv. Få biler, ikke travlt, bare venlige lokale og et langsommere tempo. Den vigtigste grund til, at folk kommer til Caye Caulker, er snorkling ud af barriererrevet, fiskeri, dykning og bare slapper af. Vi anbefaler på det kraftigste en tur ud på en båd til en snorkletur eller et "booze cruise" eller fiskeri. Sådanne ture kan arrangeres, når du kommer dertil, og er billige og meget mindeværdige. Svømning og snorkling ud for øens kanter kan ikke sammenlignes med en tur ud til revet. Masser af mennesker går også tilbage til fastlandet for at turnere ruinerne, eller, mere populær at gå Cave Tubing. Vi har faktisk aldrig gjort det heller - vi foretrækker bare at blive på øen. Vi leverer 2 cykler til dit ophold, og jeg ELSKER at cykle ind i byen hver dag, når vi er der. Eller du kan gå. Leje af golfvogn er tilgængelig for $ 250 USD / uge, men du kommer ikke hurtigere til byen, og det virker som et besvær. Vi foretrækker cyklerne eller at gå. Placeringen af selve huset er meget afslappende. Vi elsker evnen til at være afsondret eller vælge at gå ind i byen. Vi har en stor kulgrill på balkonen, og det er vidunderligt at grille aftensmaden ved huset, såsom frisk rød snapper, barracuda-bøffer eller hummer. Fiskeriet er meget godt fra de 2 moler nær vores hus. Svømningen er ikke stor ved huset, da havbunden rundt omkring øen har en tendens til at være "ujævn" på grund af nærheden af barriererevet. Vandet er meget lavt i en lang række veje, og jeg foretrækker at leje en kajak til at tage ud - selv for at gå rundt på øen med det - end at svømme der.
Strande på Caye Caulker er alle menneskeskabte, og strandene i byen er ikke som i resorts, hvor du kan gå ud i det sandede vand. Caye Caulker er ikke sådan. "Strande" er normalt afgrænset af en vandmur. Caye Caulker er meget enkel, afslappet sjov. Udflugterne er vidunderlige, og folket er den rigtige aftale. Når du har booket et ophold, sender jeg dig masser af informative e-mails om Caye Caulker, ankomst, restauranter, ofte stillede spørgsmål osv.
Hvis du er eventyrlysten og fleksibel og ikke behøver at blive "forkælet", vil du elske Caye Caulker. Det er et unikt sted!

Low key island oasis

For those looking for a secluded hideaway to relax, unwind, and hang with the locals… look no further! Property had all the necessary amenities for our stay, not to mention an incredible top deck for stargazing and watching the baby crocs in the bay at sunset. Bikes were a great addition, with town 10-15 min away and also allowed us to take the split ferry to explore north caulker. Hosts were very responsive and their on-manager, Joshua, was always there to help. For those looking for a nice stay without all the unnecessary frills, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic island getaway!

Just isolated enough for you to enjoy the bioluminescence off the dock, go fishing without the sounds of man creeping in on you, and go kayaking through the mangroves without interruption. It's also close enough to the city for a short walk/bike ride into town for a Belikin, fantastic food, or a snorkel trip. I enjoyed many a day lounging in the hammock, reading a book, and watching the sunset. The house is well appointed and a lot more sustainable than most vacation rentals. I HIGHLY recommend it!!
Svar fra VrboOwner den 18. apr. 2020
The isolation and privacy of this house is just what we were looking for in a vacation house. The entire island is only 2 miles (a fifteen minute bike ride) from top to bottom. The excitment of town and the peace and quiet of the house is seperated by a gorgeous cart path along the coast and through the jungle.

Getaway Vacation

From the setting and location to the “Go Slow” motto of the island, Linda and Joe’s home was a dream vacation getaway. We relaxed from our first cup of coffee up top on the “widow’s watch”, as we know it, to watching the sun set on nearby piers. We loved the bikes, and rented a kayak and golf cart in town for even more opportunities to explore. The highlight for us was sailing with Carlos on his catamaran all day and snorkeling. Linda gave us so much information about where to eat, what to do, and answers to frequently asked questions, which is exactly why we picked a vacation rental instead of a hotel room or condo. We had the end of the island to ourselves with amazing views and quiet, no need for TV. The wildlife was our entertainment.The sea breeze was our AC and we slept great.

Thank you Jane for your wonderfully descriptive comments~ You both came with a happy, open mind to explore a new culture and enjoy the slowness, the quiet of our area, the gorgeous views from the house and nearby piers, the available excursions, etc! The communication we had was excellent, and I loved your openness and honesty. We appreciate guests who care about leaving the house in good condition and thank you for that and for your valuable feedback~ We hope to have you back someday!

Private and comfortable with spectacular views!

We so enjoyed our stay at The Indigo Pearl. We loved Caye Caulker, we loved the bikes being our mode of transportation, we loved the grill, and we loved playing Yahtzee by candlelight. This property was clean and perfect for our home-base. We lost electricity quite a bit, but that’s where the candles came in! Mack, the caretaker, was available and beyond helpful. I misbooked our dates and Joe and Linda graciously offered to extend our stay...a pretty sweet touch especially when traveling in a foreign country. We truly loved it all!

Ahhhhh....Fantastic trip!

Ahhh – how to review a fantastic trip… well, we very much liked having so much room to ourselves – the top deck’s bird’s-eye-view-level apartment and the yard were much bigger than we expected, and much bigger than other choices we looked at. It was nice to be social when we felt like it (in town) and then be able to go back to our own private spot to chill and enjoy each other. We took a snorkeling tour to the Hol Chan Reserve on a sailboat with Ragamuffin Tours. Very good too. Our trip to and from the island was easy with the help of the owners ahead of time, plus the help of Eddy, who met us dockside. Eddy was great - very helpful in answering our many questions. Nice place to stay for sure. Yes --I highly recommend the Indigo Pearl!
Svar fra VrboOwner den 2. apr. 2020
Yes, when you book your stay with us we do email you information on how to get to the island easily from the point of your flight landing in Belize City. There are 2 options: water taxi and small plane. We give you all the details you need to arrange your trip to the island from the mainland. If you enjoy an area to yourselves, then you would enjoy the spaciousness of the property – inside and out. The Indigo Pearl is not fancy, but it does give you plenty of room and it does not subject you to barking dogs, crowing roosters, loud music, or any of the other noise annoyances that are in town. We’re glad that you liked it! Yes, Hol Chan is considered by many a “must do” trip. There are many choices of excursions to take, and you can arrange them easily once you get to the island. We hope to have you stay again for your next trip to Caye Caulker!

Private Oasis

It was perfect for myself and husband as we enjoy the privacy and seclusion this property provided yet not far from all the action in Caye Caulker. Linda accurately described this property as water and electricity need to be conserved, but that also fits in with our ethics as well (we have solar panels at home and conserve water as best as possible). We never encountered any issues having enough electricity or water for our needs. Joshua met us upon arrival and checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure all of our needs were met. Check-out was also very easy with Joshua as we communicated what time we needed to depart and he came right on time to grab the keys and secure the property. We highly recommend this property to those who don't mind living "off the grid". The views and privacy alone are worth it.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our time at Indigo Pearl

The place was just as described. It met our needs perfectly. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. I even enjoyed using the cookbooks provided. We had no issues being off the grid. We are conservers by nature, but always had lights, hot showers, etc. Mack and Rebecca were there to get us started and although we didn’t need attention from them, we knew they were at the ready should a need arise. The bikes provided were invaluable. We so enjoyed our rides in and out of town. What a perfect way to travel. Views are great also. Sand fleas did eat us even though we tried the mentioned remedies but that’s just Mother Nature. If you like being off the beaten path and a little “roughing it” this is the place for you.

The two of you were a perfect fit for our house! You enjoyed being off grid, you liked the fact that we are not located right in town, and you enjoyed the use of the bikes that we provide for our guests! In exchange for not being right in town, you got one of the absolute best views of the sea on the entire island, peace and quiet, privacy and good exercise so that you can eat whatever you like. I'm glad you used the cookbooks I've put together - I've included many traditional Belizian dishes and recipes for seafood dishes too. I hope you can come again for another stay some day ~

Perfectly private

My husband and I recently celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on Caye Caulker and had the pleasure of staying at the Indigo Pearl. Right from the start the owners were very involved in our trip and went out of their way to ensure that we had plenty of information about their home and the Caye Caulker community. The Indigo Pearl was exactly what we anticipated, a simple off grid house, nestled at the end of a long private sandy path. The home was easy walking and biking distance from town, but secluded enough that we rarely saw or heard any of the neighbors. We loved living off-grid, removed from all of the electronic distractions that clutter our lives back home. We spent most of our days sitting on the ample porch, bird watching, reading and relaxing.... Our days seemed to last at least twice as long as they do in the States. Exactly what we love about vacationing in Belize.

Joe and I do keep our upcoming guests well informed prior to their visit. I will email our future guests every couple of weeks with more and more helpful information. The more I myself learn about the ways of the island, the more I want to pass it on to you. It is not our goal to "get the most number of rentals possible." It IS our goal to first talk to any potential guest on the phone to be sure that our house is a good fit for you and your wishes, and then once we know that you and the house/location/off-grid-ness are a good match, then I start the booking process and also start sending you lots of helpful info. We want more than anything for our guests to return home happy and relaxed. Yep - I DO definitely get a bit sad helping folks prepare for their stay --- because it makes me homesick for the island life!! But it is also so fun to hear what people such as yourselves liked about your stay and I do just keep learning more about the island from our guests too! We love it on Caye Caulker and I'm so happy you had a great time too!

Beautiful and private

Happy returning guest here! My wife and I have spent quite a bit of time in Belize and on the Cayes, and this is our second stay at this awesome off-the-grid house. We have stayed in a couple of hotels in the village of Caye Caulker and also other private houses, and we think this is the best 'bang for our buck' because of the huge amount of personal private space this place has. Yes, it's a bit far from town (15 or 20 min bike ride) which can be challenging if its raining, but honestly its those cool experiences like riding our bikes home in the rain through the tropical rain forest that lead us to come back to Belize and not Cancun. The views and remoteness of this house set it apart from other personal rentals, and we have appreciated that the owners are very communicative and make sure that we know what to expect and who to contact if we need help. The caretaker Mac was awesome and had a lot of interesting stories. We will be back next year!

Magical remote island getaway

This place is fantastic, and the owners represent it very honestly. If you like what you read, you'll love it here. We are on our honeymoon, and wanted a private, affordable spot, and after finding this place and looking into Caye Caulker, we decided to spend ten days here. My only regret is that we didn't give ourselves more time here. The house site is ideal, with incredible views, privacy, and a lovely veranda so you can be comfortable outside, no matter the weather. The home is well laid out and nicely stocked with everything you'd need in the kitchen, bathroom, and living area. The owners communicate clearly and often, so its easy to prepare yourself for your stay. The caretakers are nearby and very friendly and accommodating, although all we've needed is a quick adjustment on the height of the bike seat. The bikes are great old cruisers with beer crates attached so you can bring anything you need with you. We felt like locals from day one with this set up. A word on the rural island lifestyle: The path you ride is potholed, can be muddy, and you'll see iguanas, crabs, birds, we even saw a snake! There are bugs that bite and itch. The neighbors have dogs, they're not too close, but you'll hear them bark. You'll hear small planes take off and land in the daytime, and along with the sound of birds and fish in the water, you'll hear motorboats. Even so, the nights are quiet and its incredibly tranquil...and we live on 200 acres at home, so our criteria for peace and quiet is very high. The power system works great, we can charge our smartphone and there's an outdoor light on all night so you can find your way. We have off grid experience, so we know how to be thrifty with our power use. The water has good pressure, shower is hot! You'll hear the water pump when you use the water, which helps us remember to conserve. If you can't handle nature, like mud, bugs, and reptiles, and value convenience over privacy, this is not your place. If you're looking for an authentic, peaceful experience, this place is perfect!

Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate that you find we represent our house honestly. Our goal is not to rent our house out as much as possible, but instead to just rent it to people who – like us – appreciate unique places that are off the beaten path, simple, and not “touristy”. Yes, the beer crates for baskets were an idea we started on the island because the standard metal baskets – and the bikes themselves too - rust out SO quickly in the salty air. Yes, the biggest challenge perhaps is the condition of the jungle path to town. It is potholed in places and yet other areas are just fine. If there is a rainy day the path becomes wet. This also can happen in places if the tide is high because the path runs so very close to the edge of the sea. Requests have been often made for the town to add gravel in spots to help repair the path, but the wheels turn very very slowly in Caye Caulker. This is an excellent example of how guests sometimes need to be flexible, adventurous, and of good humor. Things are often not perfect on Caye Caulker, and quite frankly we sort of like it that way. If change came quickly to this little island it would have long ago turned into another “cookie-cutter” destination. The small planes can be heard maybe a handful of times a day, and the noise is mild and only lasts about 10 seconds. The 2 dogs that live a bit down the path towards town are named Rice (white) and Beans (black) and they are nice “rescue dogs” that let you know if someone is coming towards the house on the path in about 5 minutes. I never mind them, and they only bark when someone is coming down the path. I’m so happy that you loved the house and the island. We hope you will join the list of our repeat customers!

We hated to leave and are ready to return....

We spent a week at the Indigo Pearl and were not disappointed in the least. We wanted something out of the way and quiet, with enough room to relax and not feel cramped. The house fit our needs perfectly and had everything that we needed. We were able to use the bikes to tour the island and take trips into town each day, although the crabs creeped me out the first time we rode back in the dark. We used the dock and the bay everyday, either fishing, kayaking or snorkeling. We were also able to stay connected to our family via the internet, without technology being intrusive. We made Pina Coladas almost every day. They were so refreshing after a hot day in the water. The view from the porch of the house is so incredible and worth the trip all by itself. I took many beautiful pictures of the sun sets and rises. Eddy, the caretaker and Chano picked us up at the airport and took us to the Chinatown Market to purchase a few things before taking us to the house. They could not have been nicer or more helpful with our few requests. We really liked them, as well as every other local on the island. The people are just so warm and friendly. We took a sailing/snorkeling trip with Raggamuffin tours, with Jacob and Rob as our guides. It was a fantastic day and they were both a lot of fun and full of information about the area. We highly recommend them. We also took a river cruise to the Lamanai Mayan site on the mainland with Tsunami Tours that was fun. We have been to other Mayan sites in the past, so we liked the river cruise part a little more. The day was fun though, although very hot. One day we went to Ambergris Caye on the little plane and while we are glad we went so we know what is there, we were so very happy to get back to the peaceful, wonderful quiet of the yellow house. We are happy we decided to stay on Caye Caulker, as that is a lot more our speed. We did a lot of snorkeling and we ate at some wonderful restaurants on the island. Wish Willy's and Rose's will cook your catch for you and then charge you only for the sides. They both do a wonderful job. Amor y Cafe has a great breakfast, but they close around noon. Sandros is a fantastic Italian restaurant on the island. The owner is from Milan, so it is authentic Italian. You will not go hungry on Caye Caulker. We are so happy we found the Indigo Pearl and would love to visit over and over again. It was hard to leave. Thank you for sharing your piece of Paradise with us. We are ready to go back!

I know you two had a great time and I'm so happy for that. You seem to have made the very most of your time there on the island by trying out all it has to offer. I did not even know that Wish Willy's will cook you catch for you! Wish Willy is a great guy so I believe it! I agree that it can be shocking to go to Ambergris Caye (San Pedro) after living the Caye Caulker life as San Pedro is SO crowded and busy with cars, trucks and golf carts. We desperately hope and pray that Caye Caulker never gets like that. Only 8 years ago I recall that San Pedro had sand streets also. Once those streets became bricked then the traffic just simply "exploded" and I personally do not like to visit there anymore. Once you get used to the "slow life" of Caye Caulker it becomes impossible to enjoy going off the island. The wireless internet at our house does allow you to stay in contact with the "outside world", without requiring you to be in the "rat race". We do NOT offer a TV, and in fact the only glimpse into the outside world when we are there is if I go into the bank lobby and see the TV screen playing CNN news on the wall. I never ever miss a TV and if you can live without it as a guest then I think you'll have a great time. There is a whole world outside of our house to explore: unique people, unique food, strange and unusual fish, manatees, and of course the fabulous barrier reef!!!!!

A lot of potential for this property; but is in need of some major upgrades

We greatly enjoyed our week on Caulker, but our accommodations were not a highlight. We want to be fair and honest, but due to limited space, we’ve had to truncate our review. We’ll post it full on other sites. The good: the location, the views, being two apartments since friends would be joining us, allowing each couple to have own space. The bad: •wind power generator and batteries not powerful enough to sustain for more than 2 days; consistent supply of electricity was not available, losing it completely the last night •“Solar heated water” implies there would be at least warm h20, which we never had. Additionally, we ran out of h20 on 2 separate occasions •Fridge was not turned on prior to arrival: it took 3 days to cool temps. We lost some perishables, a bummer because we were excited about a place where we could prepare meals •bedding was sandy when we arrived (ie. it had not been washed) •bikes did not work (however prop mgmt provided us with their own bikes and locks for week) •Others: few light bulbs in unit, one roll of toilet paper provided for the week-long stay, no shower curtain A couple joined us & stayed in the lower unit. Unfortunately, this unit was in much worse shape: fridge out-of-order, bedroom fan broken, no screens in windows meaning they could not be opened to cool down the unit (sand flies were a problem). No curtains on bathroom window, no bed spread on bed. Same problems with water and electricity. Further disappointing: the fact that no discount was given to the second unit for renting the whole house (both apts priced the same). Part of problem was the on-island prop mgmt, yet they were receptive to our needs and were able to resolve some issues during our stay. The larger issues are the unreliable electricity and the water heater, which 1) we felt were misrepresentations 2) were not problems for other south island houses (we asked around). The owners of the IP were receptive to our feedback and provided a partial refund due to the issues encountered during stay. They also told us that they would be making upgrades to the property, based on our feedback. We were pleased with this resolution and felt we were fairly compensated for the problems. However when our friends contacted them about the more serious issues with downstairs unit, the owners rudely dismissed the feedback, yelled at our friend, and offered no compensation. This property has potential to be great, but only after the necessary upgrades are made.

Sarah, Joe and I are happy to report many, many changes since your stay!! We appreciated your feedback which was sent to us in a kind manner.** We felt good that we did issue a partial refund and it went back to the one credit card that was used for payment- we assumed it would be shared by all involved... Now for the good news: **First of all, we’ve installed a hot water heater. Showers ARE now warm! **The water supply IS plentiful. Secondly,** we purchased 2 BRAND NEW bikes! **We are installing ADDITIONAL SOLAR PANELS!!(We're currently not renting the lower unit out until our additional solar panels are installed on the roof. They have arrived on the island, but are not quite installed. The current solar panels can support the upper apartment.)** This will vastly improve the power supply for the fans and lights. (The fans in both units do work; it is a matter of coordinating the pull chain and the wall switch.) **The screens have all been replaced with the tightest screen available, to help guard against insects. ** The bathroom window is quite a distance from our only neighbor, but it does have a covering now. **Both bedrooms always have had and still do have bedspreads. ** We supply 4 sets of spare sheets. ** We are not sure why your bathroom did not have the shower curtain or plentiful toilet paper…we have plenty of spares of each! During our recent visit, we went over the cleaning procedures with our local cleaning person. The Belize government requires you to employ local persons first, and we love that – however life on Caye Caulker is sooo relaxing because it is simple, with simple needs and demands. Please be patient with the islanders – they want to please you – their ways are not always the same as we are used to. You won’t find a kinder group of people. Remember that this is a very laid back island and you will have a fabulous time!!! In conclusion, we are thrilled to report many new upgrades since your visit! We were happy to have your feedback letter after your visit and we are definitely responding. Our goal is the happiness of YOU - our guests!

if you are looking for a place with great privacy, little to no traffic or neighbor noise, a beautiful view and peace, then this is the place for you. In addition, Linda and Joe provided the most thorough introduction to the country and the island of Caye Caulker that we have ever encountered in any rental on VRBO. Well Done!

Indigo Pearl is certainly secluded as described. We chose this for exactly that reason. We enjoyed the covered 3rd floor porch with wonderful views of the Caribbean Sea and the lagoon right in front of the house. We could watch the fish and the crocodiles from our vantage point. We observed many different birds and identified them with the help of the book there, "Birds of Belize." That was delightful as we have not been "birders." We had no issues with the solar powered electricity. Linda was remarkably helpful with all her emails and advice prior to our arrival. That helped us feel comfortable from the beginning. If we get back to Caye Caulker, we would certainly consider staying here again.

We are so happy that you loved the seclusion and the excellent view from the top floor as much as we do. The privacy is something a traveler certainly won't find in the town area. No blaring music, no firecrackers, no barking dogs - none of that is nearby. The best guests are as you were - familiar with being remote and willing to be adventurous. We do not desire to rent our house out "as much as possible" Instead, we desire to rent our house out to other like-minded people - guests who appreciate oceanfront seclusion, privacy, peace and quiet, bike riding, adventure, and "something different" and unique. Thank you for your kind words~

Isolated Island Jungle Bliss

This place was perfect for the two of us. We wanted something simple and off the beaten path where we could chill and slow down: we got exactly that. Linda was very upfront about that and helpful in providing us with useful tidbits about getting what you need on the Island. Highlights: - slow gorgeous bike rides to and from town - grilling lobster we bought directly from fisherman near Fisherman's Coop Lowlights: - sand flies and mosquitoes - couldn't swim in the the bay in front of the house; super mucky and shallow

Thank you for your kind review! We do everything we can to insure that our guests have a great stay. Yes, some things are beyond the control of anyone on Caye Caulker, such as the sandfies (that come out mainly just at dawn and dusk,) and the fact that the close proximity of the barrier reef prevents any measurable sand from washing in to the island shores. (Actually, I can't think of a single rental property on the entire island where you can just walk right in to the water from nice sand. It just doesn't exist.) If a Caye Caulker rental has a "beach" it is most likely a seawall beach, which is sand brought in, but with no access to the water itself. That is even the way it is at The Split. The only place where you find a typical beach of sorts on Caye Caulker is in the center of town, where you will see one or two small public beach areas.IF you love snorkeling, sailing, fishing, scuba and abundant peace, quiet, and relaxation, then our place is perfect for you! I totally agree with you regarding the love of the beauty and peace of the bike ride to town. The pathway is full of interesting plants and birds and the sea follows all along the path. I go on a bike ride every day that I am there. So yes, the bikes are a great feature. And I'm happy that you loved the location of our house - that it is indeed off the "beaten path" You don't have the noises of town such as late night music. We value our privacy and it sounds like you did too. Come back again and enjoy the beautiful views from our balcony and the total immersion in relaxation! Thanks!!!

Indigo Pearl -- EXACTLY what we were looking for!

We have been back to the states (MA) for only a few days, and are already talking about our next trip to Belize, and specifically Caye Caulker. Our experience was fantastic, and all of the information provided by Linda before our trip (in addition to answering all of my questions) was invaluable as we both planned our visit, and lived each moment on the island to its fullest! My initial conversation with Joe was interesting, and useful -- as he had to "size us up" to determine if we could handle this unique vacation home. If you are looking for an adventure -- are in reasonably good health (can walk or bike), you will love your stay at Indigo Pearl. We had not ridden bikes for 20+ years, but had no problem riding into town 2-3 times every day. The house was perfect for our needs -- lots of hot water, functional kitchen, great views, clean and comfortable. We loved the seclusion, and didn't even notice we were "off-the-grid" (although we were aware enough to conserve both water and power). The Indigo Pearl gave us the perfect home base to enjoy Caye Caulker. We felt like "locals" from our first night there, enjoying dinner at Fran's (unlimited coconut rum punch doesn't hurt either!). In general, the food was great -- from street vendors (you must find the "cake lady" across the basketball court) to the many restaurants in town. If you want to do your own cooking, we loved buying food at Chicken Depot (although they were often out of shrimp) and several other stores in town. The rum and hot sauce was plentiful and GREAT! Perhaps the biggest surprise for us though -- was the quality of the snorkeling. Caveman Snorkeling might be the best "tour" on the planet -- and we have been on snorkeling tours in Australia (Great Barrier Reef), Hawaii, Caribbean, and Florida, but nothing beat what we experienced with Caveman Snorkeling. The barrier reef (evidently second largest) was vibrant, and alive (parts of Australia's barrier reef is dying), and much to my surprise, really easy to get to from Caye Caulker. We swam with sharks, rays, turtles, and lots of reef fish, and could not have been happier with the day we had (and it was supposedly a "rough" day out with more wind than normal). If we were in town for more than a week, we would have probably gone out another day or two! The bottom line is that we loved our time on Caye Caulker and at the Indigo Pearl, and look forward to our next trip back! It was quite the perfect adventure for us!

Amazing Stay in Caye Caulker!

I loved Caye Caulker SO much! Linda and Joe's place was wonderful and exactly what I needed! I work so much and I truly needed solitude and privacy in a tropical paradise, and as someone who usually stays at resorts when going on vacation, this was a MUCH needed escape that I truly thought was perfect and relaxing. I also want to state I had never been to Belize before. Prior to my trip Linda emailed me with so much great information that when I got to the island I felt like I was already a native and had been living there! It was so easy to get to the island via water taxi, and the island itself being so small was super easy to navigate-the bikes were fantastic! The baskets were perfect for toting whatever I needed to bring to the Split for the day, or for carrying groceries back to the house. At night I would call a golf cart taxi with the cell phone Linda & Joe provided me to pick me up for dinner, which was super convenient. Linda and Joe's home has everything you could possibly need- full kitchen and fridge/freezer(packed with ice!), mosquito coils, a beautiful wraparound porch(with a hammock!), and the best views HANDS DOWN on the island! Sunset was my favorite time of day, sipping a cocktail and enjoying the beautiful view on the porch. I ate most of my meals in town, so I didn't cook too much, but everything needed to do your own cooking is available to you. It is off-the-grid living, something I am used to having traveled to Africa (which was way more off-the grid than this) so it didn't bother me at all. I did keep 2 pitchers of water in the fridge at all times because it does get HOT! If you do a snorkeling trip I HIGHLY recommend Caveman tours- he does not seek you out/pester you for your business and he has a small shack right on the ocean and you must find him. Him and his crew are excellent! They kept the groups small so we could all see as much as possible and they were super informative about the marine life and the reef. The food on the island was fantastic! I tried as many places as I could-from Belizean food to Italian food (Il Pelicano was a real treat!) they were all great. You couldn't go wrong, and the food is cheap enough to eat all your meals in town without having to cook. Again, I couldn't thank Linda and Joe enough for their hospitality, their excellent info prior to my trip and their amazing home. I will definitely be back to Caye Caulker in the future, you better BELIZE it! Peace & Love <3 :)

Absolute Perfection!!

I'm not sure how exactly it was that I came across The Indigo Pearl, but I thank my lucky stars that I did. Joe and Linda were so communicative and welcoming. I spoke with Joe on the phone before the booking was confirmed, and I joked with him about trying to scare me off! The house is very much "off the beaten path", and there's almost nothing around, except for some cool wildlife. It was exactly what we were looking for and it was wonderful. I enjoyed walking and biking into town, and then being able to see a million stars at night. My only complaint about our stay on the island were the sand flies, so definitely pack your Deet. We loved being able to cook and relax. The neighbors were super friendly (Larry even gave us a ride one evening!). Linda sent us many emails in advance of our trip, with recommendations for restaurants, tours, and other things to do in town. We had a lovely snorkeling trip with Carlos Tours, and enjoyed the Sports Bar several of the days we were there. The locals are the friendliest ever (hard not to be in such a beautiful place!). The house was absolutely perfect for us - comfortable bed, awesome shower, and the location could not have been better. Thank you so much, Joe and Linda, for opening up your home to us - we thoroughly enjoyed our time on Caye Caulker, and would have enjoyed it less without your hospitality. I'm already looking at dates for my return trip!!

Nice place to stay and relaxing

We stayed at The Indigo Pearl in November and found it to be as described. Since we didn’t want the whole noise scene in town we opted for this house on the more residential south end. It came with 2 fat tire bikes to use, which we did every day. I hoped to see more birds, but didn’t see a whole lot in the way of wildlife. Showers were warm, place was clean, simple and fit our needs. Loved the balcony and the views. My wife and I ate several meals at the house, and found what we needed to do so. Eating in town was reasonable too. The tour we took with Carlos was excellent and I highly recommend his services. Overall we had a great time.

We are glad to hear the good words. You both were a very good fit for our house: adventurous and not wanting to be living the "all inclusive style" cooky cutter vacation. Caye Caulker is a very very unique place without cars or modern conveniences and those who want to enjoy a simple, relaxed, beautiful vacation in a place that is fast fading from our world, without the headaches of life at home, will enjoy our home too. The motto of the island IS 100% "Go Slow" and what a great time it is! We agree that life on the island can't be beat. Thanks for the kind words.

Find Your Rhythm to Relaxation at the Indigo Pearl on Caye Caulker!

What's the formula for two stressed-out working parents to achieve relaxation and celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary? We feel it's the Indigo Pearl + good coffee, ocean views, biking into town, swimming at the Split, hanging out in hammocks by the sea, shopping for dinner and eating your meal as the sun sets over the mangroves. All this is possible on Caye Caulker if you choose the Indigo Pearl! We spent 8 days and found that coffee on the balcony watching the ibis, mockingbirds, pelicans and cormorants was a perfect way to start our day. Breakfast is easy here if you've shopped the afternoon before - don't forget to prep the pineapple for breakfast and put the leftovers in the freezer for afternoon pina coladas! Drop a few tidbits to Jose the iguana who hangs out in the tree top and watch him and his friends below. Lounge around reading your book, posting photos on social media, or kayaking on the lagoon in front of the house. Midday means packing your swimming gear for the beach! Don't forget the sunscreen and bug spray. Head into town and take the beach road up. Find your spot at the Split beach and enjoy watching the frigatebirds overhead. Grab a Belikin or two and hang out on the pier - or better yet, grab a bucket at the Lazy Lizard and watch the islanders and tourists mingle as they dive in the turquoise water or show some skin on the deck. It's quite a show and it's free! When you get hungry ride down to Errolyn's Fry Jack shack or Meldy's and grab a burrito to go. Take it over to the beach and find a bench for your picnic. Hop back in the water, or my favorite - the hammock - and let the waves and wind lull you to sleep. When you wake up or are done swimming it's time to grab some groceries and head back for Happy Hour at the Indigo Pearl! Don't forget the coconut rum and coconut milk: key ingredients in keeping you 'Happy!' Oh, and ask the staff at Las Almendros to make you some fresh flour tortillas - they're down near the airstrip on Back Street. There's a grill to cook up fresh seafood or other meat. Full stove and lots of pots and pans for other cooking needs. The water pitcher you prepped in the morning will quench your thirst, or use the frosty mugs for double chill effects. The sun puts on a great show each night and the early sunset means lots of time to read or take advantage of the long night to reconnect with your loved one! We had a fantastic time and look forward to the chance to return and TRULY relax.

Wonderful Vacation

We had talked about going to "Belize" for a long time. Not exactly sure what we wanted to do there. So I did some research and learned about the Indigo Pearl.It sounded like it was right up our alley so we reserved it. Linda's emails were very helpful and she answered my off the wall questions quickly and told exactly what I needed to know. I think our experience was a bit different. Not bad different. Just not your typical visit. We were picked up at the water taxi by our taxi driver, Sullivan. It was getting late when we arrived so we made a quick trip to the grocery. Got a few things to get us started. We got a "take out" bbq chicken dinner at a place Sullivan suggested. Then off to the Pearl. Arrived at the house and Sadie greeted us and showed us our little piece of heaven. We new we needed to be careful with water and electricity use and that was no problem. Actually we had only 2 issues. One was the french press coffee maker. Its plunger was broken so we figured out a way to use it. Our other issue was the bikes. The seats were too high for both of us and they were hard too pedal. So we called Sullivan whenever we needed a ride. The first full day there was Mother's Day and he had come out to pick us up and then his family and we took a ride. His son is Junior and almost 6. His daughter is Yareni and is 5 months old. A really beautiful family and very welcoming to us. We set up a fishing time with a friend of Sullivan's for Wednesday.The guide has pet tarpon so we feed them while we were there. I'm not crazy about fishing but love the boat ride. Sullivan was a lifeline for us. He showed us places we would never have found on our own. We ended up having dinner with him and his family 2 evenings.He grilled the mackerel I caught (yes me).We had rice and coleslaw. It was all delicious.Our last evening we ate with them again. This time shrimp kabobs, homemade beans and coleslaw. Again delicious. His wife taught me how she did rice, beans and coleslaw. I've never seen such poverty as the natives on the island but there is no poverty of spirit. So we didn't snorkel or swim but still had a fabulous time. Our favorite times were in the morning on the porch. It was always cool and always something new to see. Then at night again on the porch. It felt heavenly to feel the breeze on my face. Walt is a real birder so he had a ball photographing and identifying so many new birds. We had a storm one night. It was great.Our time at the Pearl was the best

Our stay here was perfect. It really is secluded, off-grid, and incredibly private. Perfect for the R&R we were looking for. The house was clean, and well kept. If we are ever back in Belize, we will be back to this house!

Living off the GRID in Paradise!

If you are looking for a place to stay that is completely off the GRID Indigo Pearl Guesthouse is the place to stay. Prior to accepting our deposit the owners insisted on speaking with us first because they wanted us to completely understand what they meant by being off the GRID meant. The electricity is supplied by wind and solar, the water is supplied from rain collected during the rainy season and our refrigerator was powered by propane. Water conservation is a must so flushing the toilet after each liquid deposit should be kept to a minimum. Insect control was provided by two very loud geckos (they sounded off once in the very early morning hours and sound like a bark and screeching bird). Our lodging was clean and everything we needed for the kitchen was provided. We had towels for the bath and the beach. If you want to live "primitively" you can do your laundry in the bucket provided outside the door and hang them up to dry on your porch. The clothes will dry in about 4 hours. Beach bikes were provided as well as headlamps to wear after dark. The bike path to town can be daunting the first few times but well worth the ride. The house is at the tip of the island where you will find yourself surrounded by beauty. With internet access we could stay in contact with family and friends and never had connection issues. The property is well maintained and clean. We saw a couple of minor issues that we reported to the caretaker and have complete confidence they will be cared for. We were met by our taxi driver Sullivan at the water taxi dock who took us for a quick tour of the island high points and stopped at the grocery so we could purchase some items before going to the house. He also graciously agreed to take us back into the village so that we could have dinner. After dinner we walked over to the firehouse where he was working and headed back to the our home away from home for the next week. For breakfast we tried Glenda´s for her cinnamon buns WOW!, Elena's for fryjack, Paradiso for breakfast sandwich and fruit all very good. We ate at Terry's, Marins, Barrier Reef and Syd's. We had a couple of nights at home for dinner where we bought from the bakery and grocery. We chose to take only one trip away from the island by using Ragamuffin Tours which we thoroughly enjoyed and recommend highly. Captain's Shane and Vito are outstanding guides with wonderful personalities. Our expectations were met and loved every minute of our stay.
