About this property
A Tropical Treasure - 'Gibnut' Oceanfront Condo
‘Gibnut’ is a comfortable, vibrantly decorated, home-from-home that celebrates the tropical colours and natural hardwoods of Belize. Sleeping up to six people, its uplifting atmosphere is a joyous backdrop to your time on this phenomenal peninsula.
This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo is conveniently located on the first floor within steps of the infinity pool, hot tub, beach and pier. Step inside to find a spacious and bright living area with a tropical flair, local artwork and exotic mahogany doors and cabinets.
Enjoy the sea air from the balcony or the cozy living room, complete with screened patio doors. If the sun has warmed you enough for the day, this home has air conditioning and ceiling fans to keep everyone comfortable. The games table will entertain your evenings, as will the cable TV, whilst the rocking chairs will encourage Caribbean daydreams and afternoon snoozes on the private balcony.
With a full, modern kitchen, you'll have no trouble whipping up meals while you're here!
Sit together at the breakfast bar to enjoy a quick breakfast of tropical fruit smoothies or a home-cooked dinner with local ingredients. You can also share meals outside on the covered balcony while overlooking the gardens and the sea beyond. A laundry means you can pack light and save space in your suitcase for gorgeous local souvenirs!
Please note that the property is on the first floor raised above ground level and requires the use of 6 steps to access it, making the property unsuitable for wheelchair users.
Where You Will Sleep:
Master Bedroom: King-size bed, access to the balcony and an attached bathroom with a stunning soaking tub.
Bedroom 2: Queen-size bed
There is another full bathroom in this condo as well.
Optional Extra: Queen-size Murphy Bed in the living room creates space for an additional 2 guests, so it's perfect for a group of friends traveling together or a family of 6.
The Property: The Villas at Cocoplum
The Villas at Cocoplum offer the unique position of being a secure, gated beachfront vacation rental community with all the luxuries of a resort plus the privacy of a secluded, peaceful setting.
Enveloped by lush gardens and fringed by soft coral sand, the Caribbean meets Central America at its most extraordinary here on the Placencia peninsula in beautiful Belize. Swim, kayak, paddle in the crystal waters of the Caribbean, watch the horizon for manatees and dolphins or enjoy a game of pickleball, tennis or mini golf at Sirenian Bay Resort with an exclusive, discounted, prepaid pass through The Villas at Cocoplum!
For the adventurers and explorers, to the inland north are jaw-droppingly beautiful expanses of jungle, waterfalls, national parks and mystifying ancient settlements within 60-90 minutes of the property. Offshore to the north and south lie over 400 picture postcard cayes, many within easy reach of Placencia village by exhilarating boat ride through turquoise waters.
