About the host
Hosted by Anna Sabido
Hi there my name is Carmela your gracious and grateful host! I split my year between the United States and my home country of Belize, where I spend six months out of the year personally overseeing our newly opened studio rentals [ Berachah the Hebrew word meaning - Blessing or Benediction ]. Hosting is a true passion project for me, built on a lifetime of hard work and dedication. I love introducing visitors to The Gem of central america Belize. The Independence and Mango Creek communities are a pivotal point to neighboring destinations, providing a quiet, comfortable launchpad for those exploring nearby Placencia and neighboring islands. When I am away, my dedicated co-host and manager handles the day-to-day care of our guests. We are always here to make sure you feel right at home in the beautiful country of Belize.
Why they chose this property
The twin villages of Independence and Mango Creek offer a wonderful, authentic slice of local Belizean life. Unlike the heavily commercialized tourist resorts, our neighborhood is an oasis of peace, surrounded by a welcoming sanctuary of natural beautys nestled in breathtaking scenery—from lush mango and fruit trees in local yards to the quiet natural beauty of the nearby lagoon.
What I enjoy most about this area is its warmth and community spirit. In the mornings, you can smell fresh, local street food like 'fry jacks' being made nearby. It’s a quiet haven where you can relax completely, yet you are just minutes away from 'Water Side'. Taking a scenic water taxi across the lagoon brings you straight to the bustling beaches, restaurants, and shops of Placencia in no time! It truly gives you the best of both worlds.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets our property apart is that we offer a premium, modern retreat with a deeply authentic local soul. While many travelers pay exorbitant prices to stay directly on the busy peninsula, our studio offers a peaceful, air-conditioned sanctuary where you can truly unwind after a day of exploring.
We go above and beyond a standard rental by offering convenient, personalized amenities right on-site. Guests don't have to worry about finding breakfast or locating a laundromat; we offer delicious, home-cooked local meals for purchase and a professional wash-and-fold laundry service arranged by our staff. Combined with our unbeatable location—just minutes from the Hokey Pokey water taxi to Placencia—we give you a high-end, hassle-free stay at a fantastic value.
