Six of us laid claim to this beautiful home for a week and didn't want to leave when our time was over. No matter where we were, the views are spectacular. Brittany, the property manager, made sure everything was handled in advance, even arranging golf carts to be waiting for us at the house. We were met at the ferry landing by Chris, who directed us to a grocery store for a pick up of Belikin and basics before we left for the house, got our luggage and us loaded into a van and off we went! The paved road ends about four miles north of town, the house is six miles north, so be prepared for a few bounces once off the pavement. Upon arrival, we met Abner, the caretaker, who showed us around and made sure we were comfortable. During the week, he referred us to the best (where the locals shop) grocery store, gave us the insight on the area, advised us on restaurants and just made sure we were happy. Brittany referred us to Chefs for Hire who came in and prepared Saturday night dinner. I would highly recommend doing this. Not having to cook or worry about going out to eat on our arrival night made it very relaxing. Do this at least once during your stay, you won't regret it! Delsia and Norma delighted us with the most wonderful meal and best of all, they even cleaned up and left the leftovers! Our only regret is that lobster was out of season during our visit and unavailable!
We used another referral, Seaduced by Belize, for our excursions (sunset cruise, jungle trip/Lamanai, and Mexico Rocks/Robles Beach/bbq). Again, highly recommended. We were picked up at our dock for each trip, and the memories our group took home can't be described.
The house itself is beautiful and secluded. We did have guests who found navigating the inside stairs to the lower floor an issue. They seem to be placed a bit too far apart and there is no hand railing. We solved this by using the outside front stairs to the lower outside door. Since we were outside most of the time, this was not a huge issue and at times, more handy. Also, a notice on the door of those very same stairs advising there is another step down would be nice. On a last note, a dusk/dawn or solar light at the bottom of the entry stairs would be helpful.
Every one of us, though, enjoyed the whole experience. Words can't do it justice. I'd encourage anyone to stay here, whether to be alone and enjoy the seclusion and beauty or go out and carouse or take tours, no matter what, highly recommended and we will return!
