Perfect spot to stay and explore the island. Set south of town, this place is the perfect way to have relaxing evenings outside the busier san pedro. Short golf cart ride to anywhere (make sure you rent one, you'll need it). Beautiful property with all the amenities you'd need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Wonderful stpot to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset (in February, anyway). Stop looking and just book this one, you won't regret it!

Wonderful Vacation Rental

The Box House was everything we hoped for: gorgeous views, comfortable, and clean. Communication was great both before and during our trip. They helped us book our golf cart and our snorkeling trip. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

We had the best time at Box House Boca Ciega. It was absolutely stunning. We used this place as our honeymoon suite and couldn’t have been happier. The town is friendly, many fun restaurants to dine and relax at, and you’ll never run out of things to do.

Amazing stay

We loved our stay at the Box House. The views of the ocean were breathtaking and the house had everything we needed for our vacation. Even better than the house was the support from Jessi!! From arranging our flights to San Pedro and golf cart rental to answering our questions about the area and things to do - and even delivering groceries to our house prior to our arrival. Jessi was amazing and very responsive!!

Beautiful!

We enjoyed our stay here! The location on the south side of the island was great and away from the hustle and bustle of town. You definitely need to rent a golf cart, which Jessi facilitated for us. It’s easy to get to town by golf cart and fun to explore the island. The property is as shown in the pictures. We felt safe here and there is a cluster of homes surrounding the property, so you’re not alone.

The house was as advertised. Very clean, comfortable, and an amazing location in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen had every amenity needed (including sharp knives). Jessi's team was a huge help and made sure everything went smoothly, including delivering groceries before we arrived, so we could relax and start our vacation. It was the perfect getaway and we enjoyed every minute there.

Box House Vacation

We stayed at the Box House during the holidays. It was the perfect place for us. Away from the busy city centre, on the ocean, with constant views. We enjoyed the privacy, and getting everywhere on a golf cart was a breeze. Jessi was there to answer any questions we had and helped us with groceries for when we arrived. He also helped us look into excursions. Our entire experience was amazing! We will be back.

We loved the unique structure but when we got there, we fell in love with the view, dock, comfort of the space and the quiet neighborhood. All the amenities are provided and add ins were offered. The space was super clean and well designed. I’m just sorry we couldn’t stay longer and we were sad to leave. Love love love this property.

The Box House was perfect

The Box Jouse was perfect for my husband and me. It is far enough away from town to offer some peace and privacy but close enough for restaurants and shopping. It's very convenient to all of the snorkeling and diving services as well. The doc was wonderful and is where we spent most of our time. There's always a nice breeze blowing. Jesse and the management team were wonderful. If we had a question he responded very quickly and the services like providing groceries and the contact for the golf cart rental were excellent. We plan on returning to the Box House on our next trip to Belize!

Quiet neighborhood, great views!

After spending three weeks at different locations in Belize, my husband and I wanted to spend a week by ourselves enjoying the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. This was just the ticket for us! Beautiful sunrises and pelicans, birds, and iguanas to watch! We shopped at Superbuy for our groceries and did most of our own cooking….it is a 20-30 minute ride into the center of San Pedro, however there are some other options around if you want to eat every meal out. Jessi communicated well and all went without a hitch!

Everything was just as advertised in the listing. Great views, beautiful yard the inside was like brand new. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was just perfect. We watched the boats go by in the morning and the waves on the reef. There was even an iguana show everyday in the yard. Beautiful male and his girls. All in all it was a perfect location for privacy and all access to the island. Jessi our liaison was very attentive to all our needs and made everything easy. We thank you for such a wonderful house.

Great place to stay if you’re looking to get away from the crowds. The host was amazing and responsive to our messages during our day. The food in San Pedro is amazing and you can’t get a bad meal on the island! One of our favorite places to eat, ended up being the hula bar, which is less than five minutes away from the house and has amazing chicken tacos!The views from the house are picturesque and you can’t beat them. The pier is private and we enjoyed sun tanning on it during our stay. The only downside is the beach isn’t really conducive to walking as there is quite a bit of seaweed that comes up in that area. Plenty of other beaches on the island to get to easily so it wasn’t an issue for us. We loved taking day trips up to secret beach and enjoying the water on that side of the island. I would recommend flying into Belize and staying there for a couple of days first to do some tours if that’s something that you’re interested in and then taking an inner island flight over to San Pedro for the rest of your stay. The cost to get back-and-forth from Belize to San Pedro can add up for excursions if you don’t do it that way. I would highly recommend getting a golf cart reservation through the property manager as we had issues when we booked through a third-party company and ended up having to get a golf cart through the property manager at the last minute.The property is easy to get in and out of and very comfortable!

6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
We found the Box House very cool and unique. We really liked the layout and it was quite comfortable. We also liked the fact that it was in a quieter area away from town. That being said, there are a few things that should be addressed: 1, when we arrived, we found the grounds and landscaping clean and well maintained. However when we went to walk out to the dock, we found the area between the property and the water line completely filled with trash, and garbage. There was also trash (empty beer and water bottles) at the end of the dock. We were disgusted! I cannot believe a company would feel that it is okay to rent a property in this condition. No other surrounding properties were like this. 2, the photos on Vrbo show two nice Adirondack chairs out at the end of the dock. These did not exist. 3, the photos also show two nice chaise lounge chairs on the sand. These also did not exist. 4, I did see (after the fact) that the dock was public between 6am and 6pm. This proved to be quite an issue as every time we were hoping to use the dock to enjoy the sunset, there was some couple out there having a makeout session. In addition, there were no beach chairs to take out to the dock if we wished to do so. 5, correspondence said that there was a phone to make local calls. After looking everywhere, we could not locate this phone. In the end, it was a bit of a disappointment. The property has so much potential. I hope they can address these issues for future guests.

Unforgettable vacation

We really enjoyed the privacy of the rental! We booked massages, Tropic air tickets, and a golf cart through Jessi, the guest experience manager and it helped so much! We even needed to make a change to our return flights to BZE and Jessi took care of it immediately. Just to be forewarned the property is a bit far from everything so a golf cart is an absolute necessity. It takes about 15 mins to get to town via golfcart but there are some restaurants closer. There are power issues and we had several power outages, one was 14 hours (no fault of the property owner, just be aware) we happened to bring a flashlight which turned out to be very helpful! The only thing that was missing was a full length mirror, the mirror in the bathroom is pretty tall so I wasn't able to see my outfits. When it was clear weather you can see the boats at the Hol Chan Marine reserve and see Caye Caulker. There are Pelicans fishing off the dock all day which we enjoyed watching.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the privacy of the rental and that Jessi was able to assist with your bookings and travel adjustments—it’s great to hear he made your experience smoother. We appreciate the note about the location and the necessity of a golf cart for convenience. Power outages can be unpredictable, and we truly appreciate your patience during those moments. Bringing a flashlight was a great idea! Thank you for your suggestion about the full-length mirror—we’re always looking for ways to improve, and we’ll keep that in mind. Watching the pelicans and taking in the beautiful views of Hol Chan and Caye Caulker sounds like a perfect way to relax. We’d love to welcome you back for another stay!
