About this property

Adventure or Tranquility, private 1/2 acre, amazing views, 5 min to downtown

This beautiful rustic cabin-like home is nestled among the native trees of the rainforest, located a short 5 minute drive from San Ignacio. Our lovely home is on a very private 1/2 acre, with 2 bedroom 1 bath, with AC to keep you cool on the hot days, and a 300sq ft loft great for kids. The down stairs bedrooms have a double bed in each and the loft has 3 twin beds. Kitchen and living space combined. Fully equipped to save money on meals. The town of San Ignacio has a wonderful farmers market every Saturday, where you can buy native fruits and vegetables mostly organically grown. This is a must do while you here!
We are on the grid (running water, electricity, and WIFI)! Remember you are in the rainforest, wifi can go out, you may lose electricity and water can go out from time to time. Beautiful 500sq ft veranda where you can relax drinking the first morning cup of coffee while taking in the beautiful breathtaking views of the rainforest! On our property you can enjoy a built-in BBQ, mature fruit trees, for the picking, Mango, coconut, and avocado. We try to keep our property as chemical free as possible. We do very little spraying for critters in and around the home or near the fruit trees.
We are located approximately 1 1/2 hour from Belize City, (airport) which is on the coast! We highly recommend when booking our Casita a 4WD and at the very least an AWD, due to mountain terrain and unpaved, rouged road up to our house. We are also 10 miles from the Guatamalan border. There are so many things to do here, it's approximately 1 hour 45 mins to the must see Tikal ruins, and only a 10 min drive to the Cahel Pech Mayan Ruins in San Ignacio. We have heard rave reviews about the Mayawalk Tour Company where you can book many must see adventures, like cave tubing, ziplining, horseback riding, hiking, and canoeing tours. Also beautiful must see waterfalls! The coast line has one of the most amazing barrier reefs in the world for your snorkeling pleasure and not to mention the magnificent must see Blue Hole, it's all here in Belize so you can have it all in a matter of a few hours.
We have an amazing property managers that will meet you and show you up to the casita if you get lost. They will be available if you have any questions during your stay. After booking with us we will provided you with a welcome letter and directions up to the casita.

About the host

Hosted by Rose or Nancy Vella

Host profile image
We purchased this property in September of 2011, as an investment and rental property, and hopes someday to spend lots of time here after my wife and I retire! Both myself and Rose were born and raised in Northern California only a short drive to the coast! A few hours and we can be among the native redwoods or the mountains. That's why we love Belize, we have it all here, the coast an hour and a half away, and our home is nestled among the trees of the rainforest. A short drive from town and we are in the beautiful rainforest, or to the bordering country of Guatemala. Our beautiful little casita has remarkable views! We know you will love it as much as we do!
