Beautiful Oceanfront Beach House with Private Pool, Unbeatable Views

DREAMING OF YOUR NEXT ESCAPE…….... ENJOY A BEACHFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE POOL AND BEACH…………..

Sunrise to sunset, Esmeralda Del Mar (EDM) features breathtaking scenic views of the crystal clear emerald and turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Completed in May of 2017, EDM is a Tropical Modern design family home located on the beach, five miles North of San Pedro Town on Ambergris Caye and a ¼ mile from the largest barrier reef in this hemisphere. The home was custom designed and built to be a memorable place for family and friends to relax, have fun, catch up and share life's special moments.
The Main House features two floors and three spacious outdoor living and deck areas (there is even a rooftop deck!). The top floor welcomes guests with an open floor plan, vaulted ceilings, a master bedroom with an attached luxurious bathroom, a half bath, a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living room, dining room and an executive office*(see note below), all with an ocean front view! This home was designed with outdoor living in mind, so the top floor includes 800 square feet of deck for your enjoyment and access to the rooftop deck. The Rooftop Deck offers a stunning 360 view of the Caribbean and the surrounding Island (A perfect place to gather at sunset or sunrise!) The first floor features an open floor plan and two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, spacious living room and dining area, all ocean front views. In addition to the indoor living space, there is 700 square feet of deck space, a private pool, deck, and walk-out beach access.

The details of Esmeralda Del Mar are unparalleled. Each bedroom suite door is hand carved by local artisans, and each king bed is handmade with Belizean mahogany, accompanied by memory foam mattresses and luxury bedding. The large bathrooms feature hand painted double sinks and large walk-in closets offer ample storage. The kitchens are generously appointed with stainless steel appliances and high-end, plentiful kitchenware for groups who enjoy the option of cooking or cooking together. The living rooms feature entertainment centers. The top floor includes a 65” Samsung Smart Ultra HD Flat Screen TVs with a Sonos Sound Bar and the first floor features a 60” Samsung Smart Ultra HD Flat Screen TV with a Bose Sound Bar.

A separate private Casita, within steps of the Main House, is included. The Casita features a bathroom, queen sized bed, kitchenette, living room, Smart HD TV and covered porch. This beautiful addition to EDM is nestled amongst the palm trees, with an ocean view for your enjoyment.
Both the Main House and Casita are air conditioned and have ceiling fans throughout. Property is served by a central purified water system (so you can drink the water!). Guests also have access to a washer and dryer for convenience.

For your enjoyment we have three kayaks, two bikes, two stand-up-paddle boards, on site for guest use.

EDM offers complimentary pick up service at San Pedro Airport upon arrival.
There are over a half dozen restaurants/bars within a 20 minute walk along the beach from the home and at least a dozen more within a 20 minute golf cart ride along with several larger boutique Belizean resorts which also have restaurants and bars. Several grocery stores (Belizean size) are in the area with two that deliver. If you wish to eat in but not cook, our caretaker’s wife will prepare excellent Belizean meals upon request.

Our beach is soft white sand with a gentle slope into the ocean. The ocean bottom in front of Esmeralda Del Mar is all natural and is generally soft sand, turtle grass or similar marine vegetation. We recommend beach shoes be worn because it is a living sea bottom with vegetation, sea life and some shells. Depth can range from under a foot at the shoreline to six to ten feet at the reef depending on the tide and other conditions. The slope is gradual.


If you go in the ocean, please note it is the swimmer’s responsibility to be aware of boat traffic at all times and especially around docks and between the end of docks and the reef. Both recreational and light commercial traffic does occur between the shore and the reef from time to time all along Ambergris Caye. Swimming after dusk is not recommended.

Note: If you book through a travel site, please check with them regarding their refund policies for any fees or commissions they charge. We cannot be responsible for a refund of their charges.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your prospective stay at Esmeralda Del Mar, please do not hesitate to contact our property manager.

* The upstairs private executive office features a desk (yes, with a view of the ocean), office chair, multifunction printer, basic office supplies, multiple electric outlets, a surge protector, high speed internet and both an in room ceiling fan and separate air conditioner. It also contains a day bed which can be used to spread out materials…..and leave them there when you are done without concern for privacy.


Also, please note that Esmeralda Del Mar maintains the highest standards regarding hygiene, cleanliness and safety. Our housekeeper is professionally trained, is on-site and dedicated to cleaning only Esmeralda Del Mar, not other properties. Accordingly, Esmeralda Del Mar is thoroughly cleaned after each and every stay and we include a mid-week cleaning for all of our guests as well.

We stayed here on a girls' trip. This house was perfect in that each room had it's own ocean view and own bathroom, and affords each person/couple some privacy. The beds are truly comfortable and each bedroom had it's own mini split which kept the room quite cool. The pool was perfect for lazy lounging at the house and the view is gorgeous. The caretaker is on the property and was quick to respond to all requests. He also has plenty of great restaurant suggestions and helped us out with picking up supplies when we were running low on things. San Pedro is a bit of a drive by golf cart, but we found plenty to do nearby. Secret beach is very close and is a must do, and we had a great snorkeling outing with Ali Mermaid. I think we'd all definitely return and be happy to stay at Esmeralda del Mar again.

Family Vacation

What a lovely house. Benjamin and his family kept the place spotless and was so helpful with any issues we had. We spent most of our days at the pool and it was so nice to have people on site to help us with private excursions etc. Secret Beach was close by and we visited often. I wasn’t sure how the split floors was going to work out with kids, but it turned out really nice to have a more quiet space upstairs for the adults and the downstairs for kid fun.

Best vacation!!!

Everything about this house is amazing. Ben and his wife are the best so welcoming and helped us with we needed. The house and property were so clean! This house had everything you needed. We also had Bens wife cook for us on the last night it was the best meal and we did not have one bad meal in Belize. We wished we would have had her cook more meals.They made everything so easy with setting us up with puddle jumper, driver to the house and getting the golf carts rented and at the house when we arrived. Ali mermaid adventures is who you want for your excursion's. We did 3 different ones and they each were so special. Thank you so much for making this vacation one we will never forget. We plan on coming back.

Fantastic Home

This is the most amazing home! Having Benjamin and Addie on the property meant so much to have them around if needed! Addie prepared two lovely meals for us and Ben made sure everything was perfect during our stay. The views are impeccable and you can fish out on the pier and watch stingrays and sharks go by. Very exciting! This vacation was a dream and perfect in every way!

Wonderful vacation and perfect home

Esmerelda Del Mar is just beautiful! Our stay here was absolutely wonderful. The view is beautiful The house is stunning. They have absolutely every single item you could ever want or need on vacation plus some. Ben and Adi are the BEST. Ben was always avaialble to help out, give recommendations and keeps the entire grounds immaculate. We didn't have to do a thing while staying at the house. Adi prepared a meal for us one night and it was so incredibly good. I would HIGHLY recommend you have her cook at least one meal, if not more, during your stay. The meal she cooked was the best meal we had the entire stay and that is saying something as the food is fantastic everywhere. Get her to make you her impossible cake, you won't be sorry! The location of the house is perfect. It is just enough removed from the town but also close enough to everything. There is so much to do while at the house. Kayaking, fishing, snorkeling, and relaxing in the pool. If you book an excursion they pick you up from the dock right in front. From booking, to arriving to leaving they handle everything for you and make it so easy. This is the place to stay!

Amazing house and property!

All in my party agreed that this house has to be one of the nicest on Ambergris Caye! We had 3 couples staying to celebrate the 50th birthday for three of us. As recommended by the property manager, we reserved a boating excursion with Clinton and his sons for 2 full days of snorkeling and fishing which was the highlight of our trip! Benjamin and Adi cooked for us two days, and it was absolutely delicious. They were also awesome caretakers, helping when we needed, and giving us space the rest of the time.The rooms were comfortable and little pool in the back was where we spent a lot of our time. The property is pretty private with a spectacular view! We had heard that Secret Beach was a must-see, but after going there one day to just check it out, we were pretty disappointed by it. The house and property were so much more enjoyable of a place to relax and take in the view. Another highlight was watching the sunrise from the rooftop with a cup of coffee in hand while wrapped in a blanket. I promise, you will love this piece of paradise.

Family on the beach

The house was one of the highlights of our trip. Beautiful house, new and well appointed. 3 master suits in the house and 1 in the casita. Plenty of room for 5 adults but could easily host twice that. Always nice to come back to after a busy day of scuba diving or fishing. Plus scuba and fishing companies pick you up from your dock, very convenient. On site property manger, Benjamin & his wife Adi were amazing. Adi’s Home cooked Belizian dinners were great! Only suggestion would be to have some beach games available on property. We loved our family getaway to Belize!

Perfect Ambergris Caye getaway

I cannot say enough great things about EDM! The house is absolutely gorgeous and Benjamin and Adi (onsite caretakers) were wonderful. The house has a whole home generator, which was huge because the power went out daily. Other houses around us were without power while we had full power. The house is about a 25 minute golf cart ride from San Pedro which was far enough away from the hustle and bustle. If you are considering a trip to Ambergris, I highly recommend this house! We can’t wait to return.

Fabulous spot for group getaway!

Rented this property for a week’s getaway for three couples. Plenty of space for everyone to hang out as a group or spread out for a little quiet time. The decks and patio, pool area and top look out deck offer incredible views from any given spot. Beachy area is beautifully kept and so relaxing. We enjoyed the bikes and kayaks, and there was plenty to do and see nearby. Benjamin and Adi are friendly and helpful and the homemade meals they offer amazing! The house sparkles! Definitely recommend EDM and would rent again!

An Amazing Week

We had an amazing week at this property! Benjamin and Adi were fantastic. It was about a 25 minute cart ride to town and about 20 minutes to Secret Beach. There were several restaurants nearby and our favorite was Tropical Escape just two doors down! There was sea grass on the beach so couldn't swim there but we enjoyed the pool everyday. You could watch the sunrise and sunset of the rooftop everyday. We had Adi cook for us two different nights and the meals were fantastic! All eight of us enjoyed the stay!!

Belize in November

We had six people stay at the house and we loved the place. This was exactly what we read in the description. The property is kept very clean and the property caretaker Benji was great very pleasant and accommodating. The views of the ocean from the pool area and on top of the house were amazing (sunrise and sunset). Addy cooked for us a few times and was very good. If you want excursions Benji can suggest someone. We had a great time Fishing, snorkeling and late lunch prepared from what we caught. You can have golf carts delivered to you when you get there. In all a great time and would recommend it to all.
