À propos de cet hébergement

Maison; Oceanfront; Isolé, hors réseau avec électricité, Wi-Fi et vues fabuleuses!

Le niveau supérieur de la maison - où vous séjournez - se trouve au-dessus du niveau du palmier - offrant ainsi une vue extraordinaire. Les quartiers d'habitation ont un porche enveloppant sur trois côtés - vous avez donc une vue à près de 360 degrés sur la mer, les îles environnantes, les bateaux qui passent et les couchers de soleil vraiment incroyables.

Le salon a sa propre entrée privée, une chambre, un salon, une salle de bain (douche, lavabo et toilettes), ainsi qu'une grande cuisine avec réfrigérateur, cuisinière et évier et beaucoup d'espace de comptoir pour cuisiner vos propres délicieux plats des Caraïbes si vous le souhaitez. Nous avons un gril extérieur pour fixer le homard frais, le crabe ou tout autre fruit de mer ou viande que vous choisissez. Détendez-vous dans un hamac tout en profitant de la vue - directement sur la rive des belles eaux indigo de la baie d'Indigo, et à moins d'un mile de la superbe grande barrière de corail de la mer des Caraïbes.

Au bord de l'eau, nous avons une jetée privée très rustique parfaite pour regarder les couchers de soleil, les oiseaux ou pour lancer une ligne pour le délicieux vivaneau rouge. Tout récemment, une toute nouvelle jetée a été construite à 100 mètres de notre maison. La plupart de nos clients apportent des cannes à pêche et ont beaucoup de chance d'attraper du poisson.

Notre grand barbecue au charbon de bois à la maison est alors parfait pour griller vos prises.

Commodités: lit queen-size aux draps propres dans la chambre. De plus, deux commodes à 4 tiroirs se trouvent dans la chambre.
Le salon a un canapé, une table et 4 chaises et une chaise de lecture confortable à côté de notre étagère de livres / jeux.
Les serviettes de bain et les serviettes de plage sont dans la salle de bain, plus un petit coffre-fort dans lequel verrouiller vos objets de valeur.

Des panneaux solaires et une éolienne récemment rénovés sur notre toit fournissent de l'eau chauffée sur demande pour les douches et de l'électricité pour la maison.
L'Indigo Pearl est une maison bien construite à l'extrémité sud-ouest de l'île. Si vous regardez la «carte google» (en cliquant sur «l'onglet Localisation»), nous sommes situés dans la zone «découpe» à la pointe sud-ouest de l'île. La "Maison pourpre" est derrière nous.

Notre maison est simple et basique, mais très spacieuse, unique, privée et avec une vue que vous ne pouvez obtenir nulle part en ville! Nous proposons bien plus que de nombreux autres choix de location:

* Cuisine entièrement équipée: cuisinière 4 feux, four, réfrigérateur, congélateur, mixeur, grille-pain, cafetière French Press, vaisselle, casseroles / poêles, moulin à café; L'eau est propre et filtrée pour boire.

* Utilisation gratuite de 2 vélos (au total), (valeur de 20 $ USD / jour - chacun).

* Wi-fi gratuit à la maison.

* Nous fournissons l'utilisation d'un téléphone portable. (pour les appels locaux - à notre gardien, un taxi voiturette de golf, etc.)

* Notre emplacement est notre principale valeur: nous sommes directement sur la mer, dans un magnifique endroit privé au milieu des palmiers de la jungle. Non, vous n'êtes pas en ville - notre maison est pour les gens qui ne veulent pas être en ville :)

En regardant la photo de notre maison, vous pouvez voir que le niveau supérieur est réservé aux clients, le niveau intermédiaire n'est pas utilisé et le niveau inférieur est le stockage.

Ne nous choisissez pas si vous voulez vous faire dorloter - choisissez notre maison si vous aimez l'aventure et que vous voulez vivre comme le font les Belize. Si vous N'AVEZ PAS besoin de climatisation ou d'une télévision, et si vous aimez faire du vélo, cela ne vous dérange pas d'être à 15 minutes. balade à vélo depuis la périphérie de la ville, et si vous aimez faire de l'exercice, et si vous n'avez pas peur d'écraser par inadvertance un crabe avec votre pneu de vélo, et que vous appréciez la paix, la beauté, les espaces ouverts et une vue panoramique incroyable sur la mer, alors nous pensons que vous aimeriez notre maison. Nous vivons personnellement dans 10 acres de terres isolées dans l'Illinois, et nous aimons être loin de la foule. Nous aimons avoir la possibilité d'aller en ville quand nous le voulons, mais sinon nous valorisons l'intimité. C'est pourquoi nous choisissons cet emplacement. C'est exactement ce que nous aimons, et nous voulons le partager avec d'autres qui aiment aussi la paix et la tranquillité et la beauté.

Ce fut une courbe d'apprentissage pour nous de réaliser que tout le monde ne pense pas comme nous ou valorise ce que nous faisons. Nous voulons qu'il soit parfaitement clair que notre maison n'est pas luxueuse - ces endroits sont sur l'île à proximité de la circulation d'Ambergris Caye. Notre maison est simple et propre.

Nous avons apporté d'énormes améliorations à notre maison depuis que nous l'avons achetée. Notre fille a vécu à la maison pendant près d'un an après l'avoir achetée, et elle a absolument chéri ses jours là-bas. Puis, 2 ans plus tard, elle a voulu retourner en lune de miel à long terme avec son nouveau mari. Ils ont pu profiter de la vie à la maison pendant 8 mois puis en 2013-2014 et ont agi comme nos gardiens;
Caye Caulker est fabuleux - venez avec un sens de l'aventure! Ne vous attendez pas à la vie comme aux États-Unis et vous serez agréablement surpris. Caye Caulker est une île très simple. Si vous voulez l'unicité des rues de sable et l'atmosphère sans voiture, alors ne vous attendez pas au luxe. Profitez de la petite île pour sa simplicité et vous serez heureux. Tout ce dont vous avez besoin, c'est de quelques changements de vêtements, chaussures croco, crème solaire, lunettes de soleil, insectifuge, (nous sommes dans une jungle en Amérique centrale !!) un maillot de bain et une volonté d'essayer quelque chose de nouveau et d'amusant!

Les restaurants sont uniques, incroyables et sympathiques - tout comme les habitants d'ici! Vous pouvez manger dans les nombreux restaurants pittoresques ou, vous pouvez magasiner dans l'une des 5 petites épiceries locales et cuisiner à la maison sur notre grand grill au charbon de bois.

Le demi-acre qui entoure la maison est sablonneux avec un bel assortiment de palmiers et de cocotiers, offrant du soleil ou de l'ombre comme vous préférez.

Nos gardiens enverront, à votre arrivée, un taxi pour venir vous chercher au bateau-taxi ou à l'aéroport local avec une voiturette de golf (le «taxi» local) et vous amèneront vous et vos bagages à notre maison. (L'arrivée et le départ à la maison en taxi voiturette de golf sont à la charge du client et sont payables directement au chauffeur de taxi ...)

L'Indigo Pearl Guesthouse est situé au calme à l'extrémité sud tranquille de l'île, directement sur la côte surplombant les eaux cristallines des Caraïbes, et offrant une vue absolument imprenable sur la mer des Caraïbes, et de magnifiques couchers de soleil! Notre emplacement est grand et isolé, directement sur Indigo Bay.

À vélo (15 minutes), à pied (25 minutes) ou en voiturette de golf (locations disponibles en ville) le 1 mile au bord de la petite ville locale pittoresque via un chemin de jungle authentique, rugueux et cahoteux le long de la côte.

Profitez d'une scène locale conviviale, décontractée et pieds nus de restaurants, magasins, bars, plages et boutiques de plongée, ou en bateau-taxi jusqu'à l'île d'Ambergris Caye à proximité (la ville animée de San Pedro) ou à Belize City. Les excursions de plongée avec tuba locales sont de petits groupes, à un prix avantageux et incroyables! (Il y a même un voyage pour nager avec les requins et les raies d'animaux.) Les voyages de pêche locaux proposent de cuisiner vos prises! Les possibilités de détente OU de plaisir sont infinies !!!

Caye Caulker est une petite île très unique et assez décontractée. Il n'y a pas de stations balnéaires ou de tels luxes. Juste la vie simple. Peu de voitures, pas de précipitation, juste des habitants sympathiques et un rythme ralenti. La principale raison pour laquelle les gens viennent à Caye Caulker est la plongée en apnée au large de la barrière de corail, la pêche, la plongée et tout simplement la détente. Nous vous recommandons fortement une sortie en bateau pour une plongée en apnée ou une "croisière alcool" ou la pêche. De tels voyages peuvent être organisés une fois sur place et sont peu coûteux et très mémorables. Nager et faire de la plongée avec tuba sur les bords de l'île ne sont tout simplement pas comparables à un voyage sur le récif. Beaucoup de gens retournent également sur le continent pour visiter les ruines, ou, plus populaire pour visiter Cave Tubing. En fait, nous n'avons jamais fait non plus - nous préférons simplement rester sur l'île. Nous fournissons 2 vélos pour votre séjour et j'aime faire du vélo en ville tous les jours lorsque nous y sommes. Ou vous pouvez marcher. La location de voiturettes de golf est disponible pour 250 $ USD / semaine, mais vous n'allez pas plus vite en ville, et cela semble être un problème. Nous préférons les vélos ou marcher. L'emplacement de la maison elle-même est très relaxant. Nous aimons la possibilité d'être isolés ou de choisir d'aller en ville. Nous avons un grand gril à charbon de bois sur le balcon, et c'est MERVEILLEUX pour faire griller des soupers à la maison, comme le vivaneau rouge frais, les steaks de barracuda ou le homard. La pêche est très bonne depuis les 2 piles près de notre maison. La baignade n'est pas excellente à la maison car le fond de la mer tout autour de l'île a tendance à être "boueux" en raison de la proximité de la barrière de corail. L'eau est très peu profonde pour de nombreuses sorties, et je préfère louer un kayak pour emporter - même pour faire le tour de l'île avec - que d'y nager.
Les plages de Caye Caulker sont toutes artificielles et les plages de la ville ne sont pas comme dans les stations balnéaires où vous pouvez vous promener dans l'eau sablonneuse. Caye Caulker n'est pas comme ça. Les «plages» sont généralement bordées par une digue. Caye Caulker, c'est beaucoup de plaisir simple et détendu. Les excursions sont merveilleuses et les gens sont la vraie affaire. Une fois que vous réservez un séjour, je vous envoie de nombreux e-mails informatifs sur Caye Caulker, comment s'y rendre, les restaurants, la FAQ, etc.
Si vous êtes aventureux et flexible et n'avez pas besoin d'être "choyé", alors vous allez adorer Caye Caulker. C'est un endroit unique!

Low key island oasis

For those looking for a secluded hideaway to relax, unwind, and hang with the locals… look no further! Property had all the necessary amenities for our stay, not to mention an incredible top deck for stargazing and watching the baby crocs in the bay at sunset. Bikes were a great addition, with town 10-15 min away and also allowed us to take the split ferry to explore north caulker. Hosts were very responsive and their on-manager, Joshua, was always there to help. For those looking for a nice stay without all the unnecessary frills, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic island getaway!

Just isolated enough for you to enjoy the bioluminescence off the dock, go fishing without the sounds of man creeping in on you, and go kayaking through the mangroves without interruption. It's also close enough to the city for a short walk/bike ride into town for a Belikin, fantastic food, or a snorkel trip. I enjoyed many a day lounging in the hammock, reading a book, and watching the sunset. The house is well appointed and a lot more sustainable than most vacation rentals. I HIGHLY recommend it!!
VrboOwner a répondu le 18 avr. 2020
The isolation and privacy of this house is just what we were looking for in a vacation house. The entire island is only 2 miles (a fifteen minute bike ride) from top to bottom. The excitment of town and the peace and quiet of the house is seperated by a gorgeous cart path along the coast and through the jungle.

Getaway Vacation

From the setting and location to the “Go Slow” motto of the island, Linda and Joe’s home was a dream vacation getaway. We relaxed from our first cup of coffee up top on the “widow’s watch”, as we know it, to watching the sun set on nearby piers. We loved the bikes, and rented a kayak and golf cart in town for even more opportunities to explore. The highlight for us was sailing with Carlos on his catamaran all day and snorkeling. Linda gave us so much information about where to eat, what to do, and answers to frequently asked questions, which is exactly why we picked a vacation rental instead of a hotel room or condo. We had the end of the island to ourselves with amazing views and quiet, no need for TV. The wildlife was our entertainment.The sea breeze was our AC and we slept great.

Thank you Jane for your wonderfully descriptive comments~ You both came with a happy, open mind to explore a new culture and enjoy the slowness, the quiet of our area, the gorgeous views from the house and nearby piers, the available excursions, etc! The communication we had was excellent, and I loved your openness and honesty. We appreciate guests who care about leaving the house in good condition and thank you for that and for your valuable feedback~ We hope to have you back someday!

Private and comfortable with spectacular views!

We so enjoyed our stay at The Indigo Pearl. We loved Caye Caulker, we loved the bikes being our mode of transportation, we loved the grill, and we loved playing Yahtzee by candlelight. This property was clean and perfect for our home-base. We lost electricity quite a bit, but that’s where the candles came in! Mack, the caretaker, was available and beyond helpful. I misbooked our dates and Joe and Linda graciously offered to extend our stay...a pretty sweet touch especially when traveling in a foreign country. We truly loved it all!

Ahhhhh....Fantastic trip!

Ahhh – how to review a fantastic trip… well, we very much liked having so much room to ourselves – the top deck’s bird’s-eye-view-level apartment and the yard were much bigger than we expected, and much bigger than other choices we looked at. It was nice to be social when we felt like it (in town) and then be able to go back to our own private spot to chill and enjoy each other. We took a snorkeling tour to the Hol Chan Reserve on a sailboat with Ragamuffin Tours. Very good too. Our trip to and from the island was easy with the help of the owners ahead of time, plus the help of Eddy, who met us dockside. Eddy was great - very helpful in answering our many questions. Nice place to stay for sure. Yes --I highly recommend the Indigo Pearl!
VrboOwner a répondu le 2 avr. 2020
Yes, when you book your stay with us we do email you information on how to get to the island easily from the point of your flight landing in Belize City. There are 2 options: water taxi and small plane. We give you all the details you need to arrange your trip to the island from the mainland. If you enjoy an area to yourselves, then you would enjoy the spaciousness of the property – inside and out. The Indigo Pearl is not fancy, but it does give you plenty of room and it does not subject you to barking dogs, crowing roosters, loud music, or any of the other noise annoyances that are in town. We’re glad that you liked it! Yes, Hol Chan is considered by many a “must do” trip. There are many choices of excursions to take, and you can arrange them easily once you get to the island. We hope to have you stay again for your next trip to Caye Caulker!

Private Oasis

It was perfect for myself and husband as we enjoy the privacy and seclusion this property provided yet not far from all the action in Caye Caulker. Linda accurately described this property as water and electricity need to be conserved, but that also fits in with our ethics as well (we have solar panels at home and conserve water as best as possible). We never encountered any issues having enough electricity or water for our needs. Joshua met us upon arrival and checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure all of our needs were met. Check-out was also very easy with Joshua as we communicated what time we needed to depart and he came right on time to grab the keys and secure the property. We highly recommend this property to those who don't mind living "off the grid". The views and privacy alone are worth it.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our time at Indigo Pearl

The place was just as described. It met our needs perfectly. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. I even enjoyed using the cookbooks provided. We had no issues being off the grid. We are conservers by nature, but always had lights, hot showers, etc. Mack and Rebecca were there to get us started and although we didn’t need attention from them, we knew they were at the ready should a need arise. The bikes provided were invaluable. We so enjoyed our rides in and out of town. What a perfect way to travel. Views are great also. Sand fleas did eat us even though we tried the mentioned remedies but that’s just Mother Nature. If you like being off the beaten path and a little “roughing it” this is the place for you.

The two of you were a perfect fit for our house! You enjoyed being off grid, you liked the fact that we are not located right in town, and you enjoyed the use of the bikes that we provide for our guests! In exchange for not being right in town, you got one of the absolute best views of the sea on the entire island, peace and quiet, privacy and good exercise so that you can eat whatever you like. I'm glad you used the cookbooks I've put together - I've included many traditional Belizian dishes and recipes for seafood dishes too. I hope you can come again for another stay some day ~

Perfectly private

My husband and I recently celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary on Caye Caulker and had the pleasure of staying at the Indigo Pearl. Right from the start the owners were very involved in our trip and went out of their way to ensure that we had plenty of information about their home and the Caye Caulker community. The Indigo Pearl was exactly what we anticipated, a simple off grid house, nestled at the end of a long private sandy path. The home was easy walking and biking distance from town, but secluded enough that we rarely saw or heard any of the neighbors. We loved living off-grid, removed from all of the electronic distractions that clutter our lives back home. We spent most of our days sitting on the ample porch, bird watching, reading and relaxing.... Our days seemed to last at least twice as long as they do in the States. Exactly what we love about vacationing in Belize.
VrboOwner a répondu le 2 avr. 2020
Joe and I do keep our upcoming guests well informed prior to their visit. I will email our future guests every couple of weeks with more and more helpful information. The more I myself learn about the ways of the island, the more I want to pass it on to you. It is not our goal to "get the most number of rentals possible." It IS our goal to first talk to any potential guest on the phone to be sure that our house is a good fit for you and your wishes, and then once we know that you and the house/location/off-grid-ness are a good match, then I start the booking process and also start sending you lots of helpful info. We want more than anything for our guests to return home happy and relaxed. Yep - I DO definitely get a bit sad helping folks prepare for their stay --- because it makes me homesick for the island life!! But it is also so fun to hear what people such as yourselves liked about your stay and I do just keep learning more about the island from our guests too! We love it on Caye Caulker and I'm so happy you had a great time too!

Beautiful and private

Happy returning guest here! My wife and I have spent quite a bit of time in Belize and on the Cayes, and this is our second stay at this awesome off-the-grid house. We have stayed in a couple of hotels in the village of Caye Caulker and also other private houses, and we think this is the best 'bang for our buck' because of the huge amount of personal private space this place has. Yes, it's a bit far from town (15 or 20 min bike ride) which can be challenging if its raining, but honestly its those cool experiences like riding our bikes home in the rain through the tropical rain forest that lead us to come back to Belize and not Cancun. The views and remoteness of this house set it apart from other personal rentals, and we have appreciated that the owners are very communicative and make sure that we know what to expect and who to contact if we need help. The caretaker Mac was awesome and had a lot of interesting stories. We will be back next year!

Magical remote island getaway

This place is fantastic, and the owners represent it very honestly. If you like what you read, you'll love it here. We are on our honeymoon, and wanted a private, affordable spot, and after finding this place and looking into Caye Caulker, we decided to spend ten days here. My only regret is that we didn't give ourselves more time here. The house site is ideal, with incredible views, privacy, and a lovely veranda so you can be comfortable outside, no matter the weather. The home is well laid out and nicely stocked with everything you'd need in the kitchen, bathroom, and living area. The owners communicate clearly and often, so its easy to prepare yourself for your stay. The caretakers are nearby and very friendly and accommodating, although all we've needed is a quick adjustment on the height of the bike seat. The bikes are great old cruisers with beer crates attached so you can bring anything you need with you. We felt like locals from day one with this set up. A word on the rural island lifestyle: The path you ride is potholed, can be muddy, and you'll see iguanas, crabs, birds, we even saw a snake! There are bugs that bite and itch. The neighbors have dogs, they're not too close, but you'll hear them bark. You'll hear small planes take off and land in the daytime, and along with the sound of birds and fish in the water, you'll hear motorboats. Even so, the nights are quiet and its incredibly tranquil...and we live on 200 acres at home, so our criteria for peace and quiet is very high. The power system works great, we can charge our smartphone and there's an outdoor light on all night so you can find your way. We have off grid experience, so we know how to be thrifty with our power use. The water has good pressure, shower is hot! You'll hear the water pump when you use the water, which helps us remember to conserve. If you can't handle nature, like mud, bugs, and reptiles, and value convenience over privacy, this is not your place. If you're looking for an authentic, peaceful experience, this place is perfect!

Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate that you find we represent our house honestly. Our goal is not to rent our house out as much as possible, but instead to just rent it to people who – like us – appreciate unique places that are off the beaten path, simple, and not “touristy”. Yes, the beer crates for baskets were an idea we started on the island because the standard metal baskets – and the bikes themselves too - rust out SO quickly in the salty air. Yes, the biggest challenge perhaps is the condition of the jungle path to town. It is potholed in places and yet other areas are just fine. If there is a rainy day the path becomes wet. This also can happen in places if the tide is high because the path runs so very close to the edge of the sea. Requests have been often made for the town to add gravel in spots to help repair the path, but the wheels turn very very slowly in Caye Caulker. This is an excellent example of how guests sometimes need to be flexible, adventurous, and of good humor. Things are often not perfect on Caye Caulker, and quite frankly we sort of like it that way. If change came quickly to this little island it would have long ago turned into another “cookie-cutter” destination. The small planes can be heard maybe a handful of times a day, and the noise is mild and only lasts about 10 seconds. The 2 dogs that live a bit down the path towards town are named Rice (white) and Beans (black) and they are nice “rescue dogs” that let you know if someone is coming towards the house on the path in about 5 minutes.

We hated to leave and are ready to return....

We spent a week at the Indigo Pearl and were not disappointed in the least. We wanted something out of the way and quiet, with enough room to relax and not feel cramped. The house fit our needs perfectly and had everything that we needed. We were able to use the bikes to tour the island and take trips into town each day, although the crabs creeped me out the first time we rode back in the dark. We used the dock and the bay everyday, either fishing, kayaking or snorkeling. We were also able to stay connected to our family via the internet, without technology being intrusive. We made Pina Coladas almost every day. They were so refreshing after a hot day in the water. The view from the porch of the house is so incredible and worth the trip all by itself. I took many beautiful pictures of the sun sets and rises. Eddy, the caretaker and Chano picked us up at the airport and took us to the Chinatown Market to purchase a few things before taking us to the house. They could not have been nicer or more helpful with our few requests. We really liked them, as well as every other local on the island. The people are just so warm and friendly. We took a sailing/snorkeling trip with Raggamuffin tours, with Jacob and Rob as our guides. It was a fantastic day and they were both a lot of fun and full of information about the area. We highly recommend them. We also took a river cruise to the Lamanai Mayan site on the mainland with Tsunami Tours that was fun. We have been to other Mayan sites in the past, so we liked the river cruise part a little more. The day was fun though, although very hot. One day we went to Ambergris Caye on the little plane and while we are glad we went so we know what is there, we were so very happy to get back to the peaceful, wonderful quiet of the yellow house. We are happy we decided to stay on Caye Caulker, as that is a lot more our speed. We did a lot of snorkeling and we ate at some wonderful restaurants on the island. Wish Willy's and Rose's will cook your catch for you and then charge you only for the sides. They both do a wonderful job. Amor y Cafe has a great breakfast, but they close around noon. Sandros is a fantastic Italian restaurant on the island. The owner is from Milan, so it is authentic Italian. You will not go hungry on Caye Caulker. We are so happy we found the Indigo Pearl and would love to visit over and over again. It was hard to leave. Thank you for sharing your piece of Paradise with us. We are ready to go back!

I know you two had a great time and I'm so happy for that. You seem to have made the very most of your time there on the island by trying out all it has to offer. I did not even know that Wish Willy's will cook you catch for you! Wish Willy is a great guy so I believe it! I agree that it can be shocking to go to Ambergris Caye (San Pedro) after living the Caye Caulker life as San Pedro is SO crowded and busy with cars, trucks and golf carts. We desperately hope and pray that Caye Caulker never gets like that. Only 8 years ago I recall that San Pedro had sand streets also. Once those streets became bricked then the traffic just simply "exploded" and I personally do not like to visit there anymore. Once you get used to the "slow life" of Caye Caulker it becomes impossible to enjoy going off the island. The wireless internet at our house does allow you to stay in contact with the "outside world", without requiring you to be in the "rat race". We do NOT offer a TV, and in fact the only glimpse into the outside world when we are there is if I go into the bank lobby and see the TV screen playing CNN news on the wall. I never ever miss a TV and if you can live without it as a guest then I think you'll have a great time. There is a whole world outside of our house to explore: unique people, unique food, strange and unusual fish, manatees, and of course the fabulous barrier reef!!!!!

A lot of potential for this property; but is in need of some major upgrades

We greatly enjoyed our week on Caulker, but our accommodations were not a highlight. We want to be fair and honest, but due to limited space, we’ve had to truncate our review. We’ll post it full on other sites. The good: the location, the views, being two apartments since friends would be joining us, allowing each couple to have own space. The bad: •wind power generator and batteries not powerful enough to sustain for more than 2 days; consistent supply of electricity was not available, losing it completely the last night •“Solar heated water” implies there would be at least warm h20, which we never had. Additionally, we ran out of h20 on 2 separate occasions •Fridge was not turned on prior to arrival: it took 3 days to cool temps. We lost some perishables, a bummer because we were excited about a place where we could prepare meals •bedding was sandy when we arrived (ie. it had not been washed) •bikes did not work (however prop mgmt provided us with their own bikes and locks for week) •Others: few light bulbs in unit, one roll of toilet paper provided for the week-long stay, no shower curtain A couple joined us & stayed in the lower unit. Unfortunately, this unit was in much worse shape: fridge out-of-order, bedroom fan broken, no screens in windows meaning they could not be opened to cool down the unit (sand flies were a problem). No curtains on bathroom window, no bed spread on bed. Same problems with water and electricity. Further disappointing: the fact that no discount was given to the second unit for renting the whole house (both apts priced the same). Part of problem was the on-island prop mgmt, yet they were receptive to our needs and were able to resolve some issues during our stay. The larger issues are the unreliable electricity and the water heater, which 1) we felt were misrepresentations 2) were not problems for other south island houses (we asked around). The owners of the IP were receptive to our feedback and provided a partial refund due to the issues encountered during stay. They also told us that they would be making upgrades to the property, based on our feedback. We were pleased with this resolution and felt we were fairly compensated for the problems. However when our friends contacted them about the more serious issues with downstairs unit, the owners rudely dismissed the feedback, yelled at our friend, and offered no compensation. This property has potential to be great, but only after the necessary upgrades are made.

Sarah, Joe and I are happy to report many, many changes since your stay!! We appreciated your feedback which was sent to us in a kind manner.** We felt good that we did issue a partial refund and it went back to the one credit card that was used for payment- we assumed it would be shared by all involved... Now for the good news: **First of all, we’ve installed a hot water heater. Showers ARE now warm! **The water supply IS plentiful. Secondly,** we purchased 2 BRAND NEW bikes! **We are installing ADDITIONAL SOLAR PANELS!!(We're currently not renting the lower unit out until our additional solar panels are installed on the roof. They have arrived on the island, but are not quite installed. The current solar panels can support the upper apartment.)** This will vastly improve the power supply for the fans and lights. (The fans in both units do work; it is a matter of coordinating the pull chain and the wall switch.) **The screens have all been replaced with the tightest screen available, to help guard against insects. ** The bathroom window is quite a distance from our only neighbor, but it does have a covering now. **Both bedrooms always have had and still do have bedspreads. ** We supply 4 sets of spare sheets. ** We are not sure why your bathroom did not have the shower curtain or plentiful toilet paper…we have plenty of spares of each! During our recent visit, we went over the cleaning procedures with our local cleaning person. The Belize government requires you to employ local persons first, and we love that – however life on Caye Caulker is sooo relaxing because it is simple, with simple needs and demands. Please be patient with the islanders – they want to please you – their ways are not always the same as we are used to. You won’t find a kinder group of people. Remember that this is a very laid back island and you will have a fabulous time!!! In conclusion, we are thrilled to report many new upgrades since your visit! We were happy to have your feedback letter after your visit and we are definitely responding. Our goal is the happiness of YOU - our guests!

if you are looking for a place with great privacy, little to no traffic or neighbor noise, a beautiful view and peace, then this is the place for you. In addition, Linda and Joe provided the most thorough introduction to the country and the island of Caye Caulker that we have ever encountered in any rental on VRBO. Well Done!

Indigo Pearl is certainly secluded as described. We chose this for exactly that reason. We enjoyed the covered 3rd floor porch with wonderful views of the Caribbean Sea and the lagoon right in front of the house. We could watch the fish and the crocodiles from our vantage point. We observed many different birds and identified them with the help of the book there, "Birds of Belize." That was delightful as we have not been "birders." We had no issues with the solar powered electricity. Linda was remarkably helpful with all her emails and advice prior to our arrival. That helped us feel comfortable from the beginning. If we get back to Caye Caulker, we would certainly consider staying here again.

We are so happy that you loved the seclusion and the excellent view from the top floor as much as we do. The privacy is something a traveler certainly won't find in the town area. No blaring music, no firecrackers, no barking dogs - none of that is nearby. The best guests are as you were - familiar with being remote and willing to be adventurous. We do not desire to rent our house out "as much as possible" Instead, we desire to rent our house out to other like-minded people - guests who appreciate oceanfront seclusion, privacy, peace and quiet, bike riding, adventure, and "something different" and unique. Thank you for your kind words~

Isolated Island Jungle Bliss

This place was perfect for the two of us. We wanted something simple and off the beaten path where we could chill and slow down: we got exactly that. Linda was very upfront about that and helpful in providing us with useful tidbits about getting what you need on the Island. Highlights: - slow gorgeous bike rides to and from town - grilling lobster we bought directly from fisherman near Fisherman's Coop Lowlights: - sand flies and mosquitoes - couldn't swim in the the bay in front of the house; super mucky and shallow

Thank you for your kind review! We do everything we can to insure that our guests have a great stay. Yes, some things are beyond the control of anyone on Caye Caulker, such as the sandfies (that come out mainly just at dawn and dusk,) and the fact that the close proximity of the barrier reef prevents any measurable sand from washing in to the island shores. (Actually, I can't think of a single rental property on the entire island where you can just walk right in to the water from nice sand. It just doesn't exist.) If a Caye Caulker rental has a "beach" it is most likely a seawall beach, which is sand brought in, but with no access to the water itself. That is even the way it is at The Split. The only place where you find a typical beach of sorts on Caye Caulker is in the center of town, where you will see one or two small public beach areas.IF you love snorkeling, sailing, fishing, scuba and abundant peace, quiet, and relaxation, then our place is perfect for you! I totally agree with you regarding the love of the beauty and peace of the bike ride to town. The pathway is full of interesting plants and birds and the sea follows all along the path. I go on a bike ride every day that I am there. So yes, the bikes are a great feature. And I'm happy that you loved the location of our house - that it is indeed off the "beaten path" You don't have the noises of town such as late night music. We value our privacy and it sounds like you did too. Come back again and enjoy the beautiful views from our balcony and the total immersion in relaxation! Thanks!!!

Indigo Pearl -- EXACTLY what we were looking for!

We have been back to the states (MA) for only a few days, and are already talking about our next trip to Belize, and specifically Caye Caulker. Our experience was fantastic, and all of the information provided by Linda before our trip (in addition to answering all of my questions) was invaluable as we both planned our visit, and lived each moment on the island to its fullest! My initial conversation with Joe was interesting, and useful -- as he had to "size us up" to determine if we could handle this unique vacation home. If you are looking for an adventure -- are in reasonably good health (can walk or bike), you will love your stay at Indigo Pearl. We had not ridden bikes for 20+ years, but had no problem riding into town 2-3 times every day. The house was perfect for our needs -- lots of hot water, functional kitchen, great views, clean and comfortable. We loved the seclusion, and didn't even notice we were "off-the-grid" (although we were aware enough to conserve both water and power). The Indigo Pearl gave us the perfect home base to enjoy Caye Caulker. We felt like "locals" from our first night there, enjoying dinner at Fran's (unlimited coconut rum punch doesn't hurt either!). In general, the food was great -- from street vendors (you must find the "cake lady" across the basketball court) to the many restaurants in town. If you want to do your own cooking, we loved buying food at Chicken Depot (although they were often out of shrimp) and several other stores in town. The rum and hot sauce was plentiful and GREAT! Perhaps the biggest surprise for us though -- was the quality of the snorkeling. Caveman Snorkeling might be the best "tour" on the planet -- and we have been on snorkeling tours in Australia (Great Barrier Reef), Hawaii, Caribbean, and Florida, but nothing beat what we experienced with Caveman Snorkeling. The barrier reef (evidently second largest) was vibrant, and alive (parts of Australia's barrier reef is dying), and much to my surprise, really easy to get to from Caye Caulker. We swam with sharks, rays, turtles, and lots of reef fish, and could not have been happier with the day we had (and it was supposedly a "rough" day out with more wind than normal). If we were in town for more than a week, we would have probably gone out another day or two! The bottom line is that we loved our time on Caye Caulker and at the Indigo Pearl, and look forward to our next trip back! It was quite the perfect adventure for us!

Amazing Stay in Caye Caulker!

I loved Caye Caulker SO much! Linda and Joe's place was wonderful and exactly what I needed! I work so much and I truly needed solitude and privacy in a tropical paradise, and as someone who usually stays at resorts when going on vacation, this was a MUCH needed escape that I truly thought was perfect and relaxing. I also want to state I had never been to Belize before. Prior to my trip Linda emailed me with so much great information that when I got to the island I felt like I was already a native and had been living there! It was so easy to get to the island via water taxi, and the island itself being so small was super easy to navigate-the bikes were fantastic! The baskets were perfect for toting whatever I needed to bring to the Split for the day, or for carrying groceries back to the house. At night I would call a golf cart taxi with the cell phone Linda & Joe provided me to pick me up for dinner, which was super convenient. Linda and Joe's home has everything you could possibly need- full kitchen and fridge/freezer(packed with ice!), mosquito coils, a beautiful wraparound porch(with a hammock!), and the best views HANDS DOWN on the island! Sunset was my favorite time of day, sipping a cocktail and enjoying the beautiful view on the porch. I ate most of my meals in town, so I didn't cook too much, but everything needed to do your own cooking is available to you. It is off-the-grid living, something I am used to having traveled to Africa (which was way more off-the grid than this) so it didn't bother me at all. I did keep 2 pitchers of water in the fridge at all times because it does get HOT! If you do a snorkeling trip I HIGHLY recommend Caveman tours- he does not seek you out/pester you for your business and he has a small shack right on the ocean and you must find him. Him and his crew are excellent! They kept the groups small so we could all see as much as possible and they were super informative about the marine life and the reef. The food on the island was fantastic! I tried as many places as I could-from Belizean food to Italian food (Il Pelicano was a real treat!) they were all great. You couldn't go wrong, and the food is cheap enough to eat all your meals in town without having to cook. Again, I couldn't thank Linda and Joe enough for their hospitality, their excellent info prior to my trip and their amazing home. I will definitely be back to Caye Caulker in the future, you better BELIZE it! Peace & Love <3 :)

Absolute Perfection!!

I'm not sure how exactly it was that I came across The Indigo Pearl, but I thank my lucky stars that I did. Joe and Linda were so communicative and welcoming. I spoke with Joe on the phone before the booking was confirmed, and I joked with him about trying to scare me off! The house is very much "off the beaten path", and there's almost nothing around, except for some cool wildlife. It was exactly what we were looking for and it was wonderful. I enjoyed walking and biking into town, and then being able to see a million stars at night. My only complaint about our stay on the island were the sand flies, so definitely pack your Deet. We loved being able to cook and relax. The neighbors were super friendly (Larry even gave us a ride one evening!). Linda sent us many emails in advance of our trip, with recommendations for restaurants, tours, and other things to do in town. We had a lovely snorkeling trip with Carlos Tours, and enjoyed the Sports Bar several of the days we were there. The locals are the friendliest ever (hard not to be in such a beautiful place!). The house was absolutely perfect for us - comfortable bed, awesome shower, and the location could not have been better. Thank you so much, Joe and Linda, for opening up your home to us - we thoroughly enjoyed our time on Caye Caulker, and would have enjoyed it less without your hospitality. I'm already looking at dates for my return trip!!

Nice place to stay and relaxing

We stayed at The Indigo Pearl in November and found it to be as described. Since we didn’t want the whole noise scene in town we opted for this house on the more residential south end. It came with 2 fat tire bikes to use, which we did every day. I hoped to see more birds, but didn’t see a whole lot in the way of wildlife. Showers were warm, place was clean, simple and fit our needs. Loved the balcony and the views. My wife and I ate several meals at the house, and found what we needed to do so. Eating in town was reasonable too. The tour we took with Carlos was excellent and I highly recommend his services. Overall we had a great time.

We are glad to hear the good words. You both were a very good fit for our house: adventurous and not wanting to be living the "all inclusive style" cooky cutter vacation. Caye Caulker is a very very unique place without cars or modern conveniences and those who want to enjoy a simple, relaxed, beautiful vacation in a place that is fast fading from our world, without the headaches of life at home, will enjoy our home too. The motto of the island IS 100% "Go Slow" and what a great time it is! We agree that life on the island can't be beat. Thanks for the kind words.

Find Your Rhythm to Relaxation at the Indigo Pearl on Caye Caulker!

What's the formula for two stressed-out working parents to achieve relaxation and celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary? We feel it's the Indigo Pearl + good coffee, ocean views, biking into town, swimming at the Split, hanging out in hammocks by the sea, shopping for dinner and eating your meal as the sun sets over the mangroves. All this is possible on Caye Caulker if you choose the Indigo Pearl! We spent 8 days and found that coffee on the balcony watching the ibis, mockingbirds, pelicans and cormorants was a perfect way to start our day. Breakfast is easy here if you've shopped the afternoon before - don't forget to prep the pineapple for breakfast and put the leftovers in the freezer for afternoon pina coladas! Drop a few tidbits to Jose the iguana who hangs out in the tree top and watch him and his friends below. Lounge around reading your book, posting photos on social media, or kayaking on the lagoon in front of the house. Midday means packing your swimming gear for the beach! Don't forget the sunscreen and bug spray. Head into town and take the beach road up. Find your spot at the Split beach and enjoy watching the frigatebirds overhead. Grab a Belikin or two and hang out on the pier - or better yet, grab a bucket at the Lazy Lizard and watch the islanders and tourists mingle as they dive in the turquoise water or show some skin on the deck. It's quite a show and it's free! When you get hungry ride down to Errolyn's Fry Jack shack or Meldy's and grab a burrito to go. Take it over to the beach and find a bench for your picnic. Hop back in the water, or my favorite - the hammock - and let the waves and wind lull you to sleep. When you wake up or are done swimming it's time to grab some groceries and head back for Happy Hour at the Indigo Pearl! Don't forget the coconut rum and coconut milk: key ingredients in keeping you 'Happy!' Oh, and ask the staff at Las Almendros to make you some fresh flour tortillas - they're down near the airstrip on Back Street. There's a grill to cook up fresh seafood or other meat. Full stove and lots of pots and pans for other cooking needs. The water pitcher you prepped in the morning will quench your thirst, or use the frosty mugs for double chill effects. The sun puts on a great show each night and the early sunset means lots of time to read or take advantage of the long night to reconnect with your loved one! We had a fantastic time and look forward to the chance to return and TRULY relax.

Wonderful Vacation

We had talked about going to "Belize" for a long time. Not exactly sure what we wanted to do there. So I did some research and learned about the Indigo Pearl.It sounded like it was right up our alley so we reserved it. Linda's emails were very helpful and she answered my off the wall questions quickly and told exactly what I needed to know. I think our experience was a bit different. Not bad different. Just not your typical visit. We were picked up at the water taxi by our taxi driver, Sullivan. It was getting late when we arrived so we made a quick trip to the grocery. Got a few things to get us started. We got a "take out" bbq chicken dinner at a place Sullivan suggested. Then off to the Pearl. Arrived at the house and Sadie greeted us and showed us our little piece of heaven. We new we needed to be careful with water and electricity use and that was no problem. Actually we had only 2 issues. One was the french press coffee maker. Its plunger was broken so we figured out a way to use it. Our other issue was the bikes. The seats were too high for both of us and they were hard too pedal. So we called Sullivan whenever we needed a ride. The first full day there was Mother's Day and he had come out to pick us up and then his family and we took a ride. His son is Junior and almost 6. His daughter is Yareni and is 5 months old. A really beautiful family and very welcoming to us. We set up a fishing time with a friend of Sullivan's for Wednesday.The guide has pet tarpon so we feed them while we were there. I'm not crazy about fishing but love the boat ride. Sullivan was a lifeline for us. He showed us places we would never have found on our own. We ended up having dinner with him and his family 2 evenings.He grilled the mackerel I caught (yes me).We had rice and coleslaw. It was all delicious.Our last evening we ate with them again. This time shrimp kabobs, homemade beans and coleslaw. Again delicious. His wife taught me how she did rice, beans and coleslaw. I've never seen such poverty as the natives on the island but there is no poverty of spirit. So we didn't snorkel or swim but still had a fabulous time. Our favorite times were in the morning on the porch. It was always cool and always something new to see. Then at night again on the porch. It felt heavenly to feel the breeze on my face. Walt is a real birder so he had a ball photographing and identifying so many new birds. We had a storm one night. It was great.Our time at the Pearl was the best

Living off the GRID in Paradise!

If you are looking for a place to stay that is completely off the GRID Indigo Pearl Guesthouse is the place to stay. Prior to accepting our deposit the owners insisted on speaking with us first because they wanted us to completely understand what they meant by being off the GRID meant. The electricity is supplied by wind and solar, the water is supplied from rain collected during the rainy season and our refrigerator was powered by propane. Water conservation is a must so flushing the toilet after each liquid deposit should be kept to a minimum. Insect control was provided by two very loud geckos (they sounded off once in the very early morning hours and sound like a bark and screeching bird). Our lodging was clean and everything we needed for the kitchen was provided. We had towels for the bath and the beach. If you want to live "primitively" you can do your laundry in the bucket provided outside the door and hang them up to dry on your porch. The clothes will dry in about 4 hours. Beach bikes were provided as well as headlamps to wear after dark. The bike path to town can be daunting the first few times but well worth the ride. The house is at the tip of the island where you will find yourself surrounded by beauty. With internet access we could stay in contact with family and friends and never had connection issues. The property is well maintained and clean. We saw a couple of minor issues that we reported to the caretaker and have complete confidence they will be cared for. We were met by our taxi driver Sullivan at the water taxi dock who took us for a quick tour of the island high points and stopped at the grocery so we could purchase some items before going to the house. He also graciously agreed to take us back into the village so that we could have dinner. After dinner we walked over to the firehouse where he was working and headed back to the our home away from home for the next week. For breakfast we tried Glenda´s for her cinnamon buns WOW!, Elena's for fryjack, Paradiso for breakfast sandwich and fruit all very good. We ate at Terry's, Marins, Barrier Reef and Syd's. We had a couple of nights at home for dinner where we bought from the bakery and grocery. We chose to take only one trip away from the island by using Ragamuffin Tours which we thoroughly enjoyed and recommend highly. Captain's Shane and Vito are outstanding guides with wonderful personalities. Our expectations were met and loved every minute of our stay.
