Constructed entirely of Belizean hardwoods, the Tapir Cabana features a screened-in porch, Queen-size bed, full kitchen, and full bathroom - plus free Wifi and A/C! All furnishings and shelving have been locally designed and made specifically for the cabana! The property includes: the cabana area, which is fenced in and landscaped with a variety of flowering plants; the pool area, which features the inground pool, patio area, and lounge chairs (rafts provided); a bird-watching area, which is down a short trail and faces the reserve (binoculars and bird identification pamphlet provided); and, a smoking/assembly area, which is under a Gumbo Limbo tree surrounded by benches. We live next door so we'd be happy to sit down with you (maybe over a cold Belikin?) to help out with recommendations or answer any questions you may have - or we can give you space to explore on your own (and drink cold Belikin by ourselves). It's totally up to you! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Pool ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Garden ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 320 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111370000/111361400/111361377/79828e0d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Romantic cottage with King bed, AC, Restaurant & car rental available.

Close to Mayan culture, restaurants and local shopping as well. Adam and Rebecca were wonderful hosts and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed during our stay. They were very responsive and provided us with good recommendations for the area. Couldn’t recommend this place more! ##### Shanna H.

Very cool pool area and nice screened in front porch. Cool shower and amenities. Loved being able to make breakfast in the morning. Hosts were super accommodating. Would have liked if the sheets had been a little wider, got into a blanket stealing match with my wife lol. Would def stay there again, we did have a car though so that helped a lot. ##### Alexander Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ---
