Box House Boca Ciega - Unique Beachfront Container Home
This uniquely designed beach front home, approximately 4 miles south of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, is elevated to enhance the unobstructed views of the sea and is constructed from shipping containers. It really is an Out-of-the Box experience!

Available Space
Ocean front home (2 persons) + Casita (2 persons) can be booked together. Contact us if the casita is to be included!
Made from shipping containers, Box House Boca Ciega is an open concept with the kitchen, living area, and studio-like bedroom flowing together. The home's design and fixtures give it a modern urban feel, while the minimal decor keeps the space uncluttered and bright with just a hint of Texas and Belizean flair in the native hardwood cabinets.
The kitchen has full-size stainless steel appliances (stove top only, no oven), concrete countertops, and is fully stocked with small appliances and everything needed for cooking and eating in. A breakfast bar with stools serves as the home's dining area. The living area offers a full-size sofa bed and television. The studio-like bedroom has a king-size bed, closet space, and television. The private bathroom is next to the bedroom, as is a large extra closet. The bathroom is modern with a concrete vanity counter top, toilet, and roomy tiled stand-up shower. The flooring throughout the home is the original preserved shipping container floor with rivets and all. A washer/dryer is located behind closed doors in a pantry area beside the kitchen.
The home's elevation from the ground only enhances the already stunning views of the Caribbean Sea. It doesn't matter which part of the home you are in, the floor-to-ceiling patio doors practically bring the outdoors inside! Open all the patio doors leading to the veranda and let the sea breezes blow through the house. If you prefer air conditioning, it's available. An east-facing veranda, the entire width of the home, is ideal for sunrise views.
The casita is situated right behind the main house and offers a queen bed, a kitchen and a bathroom. The room has AC and a ceiling fan, and there is a deck with seating outside. The casita is an add-on and must be booked through a separate listing.
Please note: All docks on the island are public from 6 am to 6 pm.
Our concierge service can assist you with your domestic (Belize) travel and tours/excursions. If you are traveling from the mainland to Ambergris Caye/San Pedro by water taxi, we can arrange for your ground transportation from the international airport in Belize City (BZE) to the water taxi terminal and have your water taxi tickets waiting for you. If traveling by air, we can book your flight from BZE to San Pedro. Golf carts are the main mode of transportation on Ambergris Caye/San Pedro and are perfect for exploring the island. We can make a golf cart reservation for you so your cart is waiting for you upon arrival.
Activities on Ambergris Caye/San Pedro are definitely water-related as Belize has the second-largest barrier reef in the world! There are snorkel and scuba diving trips just a short boat ride from shore. Flats fly fishing, reef fishing, or deep sea fishing can be booked for half or full-day trips. Kayaks, paddle boards, jet skis, kite boards, windsurfers, and bicycles can be rented by the hour. You can spend hours beach combing and stopping for cool beverages up and down the coast at a multitude of beach bars. Many beach bars have live local music to entertain you. Get a birds-eye view of the island and turquoise blue waters by parasailing or even book a helicopter tour. If spending a relaxing day on the water aboard a catamaran or sailboat excites you, we are happy to coordinate. There's even a casino on the island if you're feeling lucky! We can also schedule on-site services such as massage and a private chef.
If you want a different type of adventure, you may want to visit the mainland and be welcomed by the jungle! We can help coordinate transportation to the mainland from Ambergris Caye/San Pedro and a whole list of activities - Belize Zoo, ancient Mayan sites, cave tubing, zip lining, baboon sanctuary, hiking, rappelling, waterfalls, horseback riding, pontoon boating, butterfly farm, botanical garden, golfing.
Although most areas on the island are connected to electricity, water, and internet, please be aware that there are occasional interruptions in service.
