Our family loved our stay at Ophelia's Villa. The property is top notch and helped to create a beautiful, relaxing vacation. We loved the pool and games, Ida cooked us a fantastic Belizian dinner, and the owner was easy to communicate with and made a number of helpful recommendations. We had all the perks of a resort stay in a comfortable home setting.

We had a fabulous stay at Ophelia‘s Villa. The house is gorgeous and worked great for our group. The pool and view were especially enjoyed by all. Also, the location was great and worked really well for our group whether we were heading out for adventure or heading down to Placencia for dinner or boating. We would definitely stay in the same location and same house in the future. A big thanks to Ida for the delicious dinner and birthday cake she served our family one evening. Thank you so much for a fabulous vacation!

We had a wonderful stay at Ophelia's Villa. It has a beautiful view, amazing sunsets, great wi-fi, lovely pool that was the perfect temperature, comfortable beds, and air conditioning that kept us all comfortable. Our favorite spot was the shaded porch area overlooking the pool. The owner keeps this home in excellent condition and the management team provides clear and timely information. When we didn't want to cook we simply walked across the street to a great restaurant at Azure del Mar or drove a short distance to Naia. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Beautiful house and was exactly as described and pictured. We really enjoyed all of the recommendations made by Heather as we utilized a photographer and two of the excursions, all of which were fantastic. We did go during off season so many of the extras were closed but Heather went out her way to find alternatives.

Fantastic Stay at Ophelia's Villa

Ophelia's Villa was exactly as described, and in person, even better. The view of the lagoon and the Mayan mountains is extraordinary. The villa is extremely well thought out, and the communication with the Owners and Property Caretakers was the best I've ever experienced. The location was perfect for our family-- close to everything but also provided privacy. I definitely recommend this villa. Loved our visit to Belize.

This home was absolutely amazing. The location was perfect. The pool was very refreshing. All the beds were very comfortable. I don't have one bad thing to say about our stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Ophelia’s Villa. I had really wanted to be ocean side but we were so thankful we stayed on the lagoon side and had a pool when the sargassum rolled in as we were arriving. The house was exactly as described, clean, spacious and comfortable with plenty of amenities and breathtaking sunsets on a quiet safe street. We all enjoyed the pool, hammocks, and kayaks. Ms. Ida made my son a wonderful birthday cake that was a great treat, I wish we had hired her to cook a dinner I think that would have been very special. Heather was a super helpful host, we appreciated all the local tips in the online guestbook as well as quick responses to questions we had. One tip I would have is that if you think you’ll want to go to Placencia village consider renting a car. We went down there 3 times and it’s quite a haul in a golf cart.

The owners of this property go to great lengths to communicate- very atypical in VRBO rentals. WHen I was on the plane, I even got a message wishing me a safe trip to the house. The owners created an excellent virtual guidebook that explains everything about the house, and gave excellent directions. It even recommended local restaurants, beaches etc. I referred to it many times. Even with all the information, I still had questions, and Heather was always quick to reply on our pre-arranged What's App group (and the information was in the guide but I missed it!)

The Ophelia’s team went above and beyond to help us prepare for stay even prior to arrival. Once we arrived, the onsite property manager walked us through and we noticed all the thoughtful, welcoming and local touches that enhanced our vacation experience.
