We had an amazing trip to Villa Rising Sun! Mark, Sabrina, and Dean were all so helpful from the moment we made the booking until the minute we left to return home. From helping us to plan our itinerary to recommending restaurants in the area, every detail was so well thought out and personalized. The property was beautiful and had all of the amenities one could need. We will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay in an amazing location! Our hosts went above and beyond to meet our needs. They researched, organized, and scheduled all our excursions and even handled an unexpected flat tire, making everything effortless for us. They were kind, friendly, and always available without ever being intrusive. We highly recommend this home for a vacation stay and look forward to returning!

Everything about this family holiday exceeded our expectations! The hosts were and property are both top notch! The home is well equipped and comfortable, though honestly we spent most of our time enjoying the beach, bar, and town of Hopkins. The hosts had great adventure recommendations , and the adventure staff couldn’t have been better. We absolutely loved Villa Rising Sun and our hosts!10/10

Beautiful inside and out! Perfect place to lounge on the beach, listen to music at the tiki bar, and swim off the dock. Hosts were incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them. They will regularly pop by to check in on you, but they never feel intrusive. They are also very responsive to requests. And they even bought some food items to start us out. Hosts also act as concierge; they will help you set up tours and excursions. When booking snorkeling and fishing adventures through them, they will pick you up right at the dock. Another bonus, the hosts can book a private chef to come to the house to cook dinners. She is an excellent cook and her prices are very reasonable.

Perfect home set on the perfect beach. Hosts were super helpful and there when you needed them, otherwise it was very private. The private beach bar is key for hanging out (why would you ever want to be inside in Belize?) and the dedicated dock is wonderful for morning coffee and taking in the beautiful Caribbean. Beds were comfortable and the house has everything you need. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here, 10 stars! Thank you to Dean, Mark, Sabrina and the Get To Know Belize Crew, we had a memorable and fantastic time!!!

Mark, Sabrina and Dean were amazing hosts. They work together well to ensure you are well taken care of. They really know how to make you feel welcome. They stayed up late to greet us, woke up early to say good bye. We received great recommendations from them all. We loved our stay. Watching the fish and manatees at night from the pier was such a highlight and not to mention the incredible bar and fresh coconut water from the coconuts.
