Beautiful house, best of the best!

This property was an absolute highlight of our trip. Luxury and very comfortable, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. View is gorgeous and swimming pool is wonderful. We spent lots of time on the back deck relaxing and watching birds. Beds are super comfortable and property is very well maintained. Thank you so much for everything, Theala!

Blissful Sanctuary

This is the nicest house we’ve ever stayed in while on vacation, and we travel quite a bit. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The property is exquisite — very lush and tropical, enormous and private, well-maintained. The house is gorgeous — very unique and custom, spacious yet comfortable, well furnished and tastefully decorated. This could easily accommodate a much larger group. You could stay your entire time in Belize right here — listening to the birds and howler monkeys, reading books from the plush seating on the scenic veranda, taking a dip in the spring-fed pool, which acts as a sort of atrium in the center of the house (a kid favorite for sure), or letting Sandy prepare you a delicious home-cooked Belizean meal (for less than you’d pay going through a drive-thru back home, I might add) after a day of local hiking at the nearby Blue Hole Park. The house is a bit remote (otherwise it would be astronomically expensive and prob not available), but that’s part of what I personally love about it. It’s located somewhere between Placentia and Mountain Pine Ridge Forest, two areas we wanted to visit. So if you are a bit adventurous and don’t mind some driving, I would highly recommend. Thank you, Theala, for a wonderful stay!

We felt so lucky to stay here!

This home is amazing! Our family of four had such a lovely time enjoying the pool and listening to the birds on the veranda. I could not believe we were able to book this house for only 3 nights as it is SO big for a two bedroom! My husband guessed around 6,000 sq ft. We had such a wonderful time! And Lucy and Silvano were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back! Thank you for helping to create such a memorable visit for our family.

Clean, Comfortable, Quiet, and Beautiful

The hilltop house is amazing. It has all the conveniences of home, with the added benefit of being close to Hummingbird Highway, jungle wildlife and beauty, and the Caribbean Sea. On our first morning we drove 30 minutes into Dangriga and bought 6 lbs of snapper that had just been caught. We also bought some fresh vegetables at the outdoor market and had the best meals cooked on the outdoor grill at the house during our stay. After a good night's sleep, we were able to explore the numerous nearby surrounding attractions during the day. The indoor pool is very comfortable and fun for kids and adults. I cannot say enough good things about our stay.

About the host

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with the raw, untouched beauty of Belize and in 2009 decided to build a vacation home there. Because I live in the Cayman Islands surrounded by beautiful beaches, I wanted this home to be in the hills, tucked away with the feel of the jungle, and yet not removed from amenities and entertainment.
