Beautiful house, best of the best!
This property was an absolute highlight of our trip. Luxury and very comfortable, we enjoyed every minute of our stay. View is gorgeous and swimming pool is wonderful. We spent lots of time on the back deck relaxing and watching birds. Beds are super comfortable and property is very well maintained. Thank you so much for everything, Theala!

Blissful Sanctuary
This is the nicest house we’ve ever stayed in while on vacation, and we travel quite a bit. The pictures really don’t do it justice. The property is exquisite — very lush and tropical, enormous and private, well-maintained. The house is gorgeous — very unique and custom, spacious yet comfortable, well furnished and tastefully decorated. This could easily accommodate a much larger group. You could stay your entire time in Belize right here — listening to the birds and howler monkeys, reading books from the plush seating on the scenic veranda, taking a dip in the spring-fed pool, which acts as a sort of atrium in the center of the house (a kid favorite for sure), or letting Sandy prepare you a delicious home-cooked Belizean meal (for less than you’d pay going through a drive-thru back home, I might add) after a day of local hiking at the nearby Blue Hole Park. The house is a bit remote (otherwise it would be astronomically expensive and prob not available), but that’s part of what I personally love about it. It’s located somewhere between Placentia and Mountain Pine Ridge Forest, two areas we wanted to visit. So if you are a bit adventurous and don’t mind some driving, I would highly recommend. Thank you, Theala, for a wonderful stay!

We felt so lucky to stay here!
This home is amazing! Our family of four had such a lovely time enjoying the pool and listening to the birds on the veranda. I could not believe we were able to book this house for only 3 nights as it is SO big for a two bedroom! My husband guessed around 6,000 sq ft. We had such a wonderful time! And Lucy and Silvano were wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back! Thank you for helping to create such a memorable visit for our family.

Clean, Comfortable, Quiet, and Beautiful
The hilltop house is amazing. It has all the conveniences of home, with the added benefit of being close to Hummingbird Highway, jungle wildlife and beauty, and the Caribbean Sea. On our first morning we drove 30 minutes into Dangriga and bought 6 lbs of snapper that had just been caught. We also bought some fresh vegetables at the outdoor market and had the best meals cooked on the outdoor grill at the house during our stay. After a good night's sleep, we were able to explore the numerous nearby surrounding attractions during the day. The indoor pool is very comfortable and fun for kids and adults. I cannot say enough good things about our stay.

This place was fantastic! House and property were almost as beautiful as the views. We’ve always loved the Hummingbird Highway, and this was the perfect home base from which to explore (and at which to relax afterward). We highly recommend!

Very unique property
My wife, myself, and my brother stayed for four nights.We all said that this is by far the most amazing vacation rental home we have stayed in! The house and the location are incredible. When we weren't off to a nearby adventure we spent our time on the wraparound deck to watch birds and bats and hear the jungle sounds or just take in the amazing view. The indoor pool was perfect to come in and cool off occasionally. The kitchen had everything we needed for preparing meals or making a nice cool frozen drink. The only thing I would suggest here is a LifeWater or high quality pitcher water filter. The water from the tap is from a mountain stream and has some sediment. The furnishings were luxurious and cozy. The soft bed was a godsend after the stiff board mattresses from our last four places! The only criticisms we had was not with the accommodation. Hopefully these will help management. The house keeper was late arriving to let us in at the late afternoon scheduled time and the house was shut up in hot/humid weather without AC on. While she led us around on a very brief tour (thank God) we were sweating buckets. There were a few basic maintenance items that have gone unresolved including a broken kitchen faucet and the master shower which is backwards so all you can get is tepidly warm water. The front door doesn't latch properly so it has to be locked in order to stay closed. The most unfortunate thing was the two skinny tick laden hound dogs kept in small kennels.

One of the best rentals EVER!
This rental was one of the best we have ever stayed at. The pool was so great to have after our hikes or just to be refreshed a few times a day. The house is just gorgeous and very spacious. The furnishings inside and out were very comfortable and in great condition. The air conditioning in the bed rooms was great for getting a good night’s sleep. The surrounding jungle was thick and beautiful and the views from the surround porch were incredible. The owner was very helpful and answered our many questions. The onsite caretaker, Polo, was wonderful. He explained many things about the local culture and helped us with anything we asked about. He even dug up a casava for us to cook. All around our experience was just incredible and we recommend it HIGHLY!!!!
