Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tara S. 29 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and comfortable accommodations The house is the perfect size for a small family. 2 Queen beds and the kitchen has all the amenities you could want. It’s right by the grocery store, beach, and Placencia Beach club. If you’re looking for a place to hang out with food, swim up bar, beach and pool the Placencia beach club is only 2 blocks away. Also 10 minutes to town with multiple restaurants along the way. I highly recommend. ##### Tara S. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sylvia E. 3 Oct 2023 #### Wonderful home away from home My husband and I spent 10 days at Sound of the Sea in September. This wonderful, bright, comfortable home offers everything you could possibly want to make your stay a great experience. Perfect location within walking distance to everything on a quiet little street that's a 2 minute walk to the beach. The home is beautiful constructed and decorated. When we weren't discovering everything the village had to offer, we spent the entire rest of the time outside on the beautiful, BIG, breezy balcony, watching people, birds and neighborhood pets interacting. The home is open and airy, with a fully equipped kitchen and an generous amount of linen/towels. The bedrooms are very comfortable, with both air-conditioning units and ceiling fans. A BIG bonus of this property is the on-site washer and dryer. A rare treat. Even 2 bikes were available for exploring. All the shops and restaurants are within an easy walk from the property. We will definitely stay at this property again and will recommend it to any friends/family who plan to visit beautiful Placencia. One suggestion: adding a blender to the wonderfully equipped kitchen to make smoothies with the wonderful, spectacular topical fruits the island has to offer Thank you for a wonderful stay We'll be back! :) Sylvia ##### Sylvia E. ### 8/10 Good #### Brandon B. 7 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pleasant Stay in Placencia The house is very nice and close to the Placencia sidewalk/beach.

Great location near all amenities, the beach and the sidewalk too! A big wide veranda for lounging or eating, or even bird watching. We did a lot of bird watching from the veranda and saw grackles, woodpecker, kiskadees, trogons, different varieties of doves, parrots, pelicans, hawks, vultures etc.. If you love birds, then this is a wonderful place to enjoy them. ##### Tessa R.

Perfect for a few couples, and a little walk to all the bars and restaurants on the boardwalk. I’d definitely stay here again! ##### Jared W. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rae 6 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication The place was nice, private, comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, the AC is a must, and Jack got us set up for all of our tours to do the things we wanted to do and he helped us find the best tour guides available for those. We hadn't set anything up before we arrived, because we weren't sure which tours we wanted to do until we got there. He set us up for everything last minute, made sure we had what we needed, and the communication was great. He even set up our COVID test at the property before we left for the airport on our last day. The location is great for walking into town a short distance to shops, groceries, food, the boardwalk and the beach restaurants and bars. You honestly don't even need to use the kitchen unless you want to save a little money or bring home some fruit🍍 or rum and punch.🍹The beach is public and close, so you can walk a short distance and go for a swim when you need to cool off. For the first part of our vacation we planned to spend more time relaxing on the beach so for that we stayed somewhere right on the beach with a view of the water, and it's own beach access, beach chairs, and umbrellas, etc., but for the rest of our vacation when we planned to do tours and explore the town, this location was perfect. Everything was in walking distance. We didn't even need to rent a vehicle or get transportation, until we needed a ride back to Placencia airport, and Jack arranged that for us too. I would definitely stay here again. ##### Rae Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ransom R. 11 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay!
