    Lovely place, great location. Facilities great. Pool refreshing! Owner always on hand, yet not at all intrusive. Loved it and would definitely return!

    It was all fine.

    We had the One Bedroom apartment. It was perfect. The king size bed was so comfortable, one of the best we have ever had on vacation.. Both the bedroom and living area with the kitchen had air conditioning. The shower was large and really nice, adjustable, with a good shower head. There was a nice large screened in porch where we enjoyed breakfast and usually one other meal daily. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances and dishes you could possible need.

    The apartment was clean, really nicely decorated, spacious and we also used the sofa bed. Two comfortable seating areas outside. We used the lovely pool every day after the beach. There is a supermarket right opposite so very handy, and the tour operator for the brilliant snorkeling trip is next door also very handy. The apartment is in a quiet spot but it’s within Placencia so you can can just wander out to the shops, restaurants, bars if you feel like it. It’s a very short walk to the beach. We also used the comfy bikes for an evening exploring. We stayed for five nights and it was the perfect spot for our stay in Placencia. On our last day we saw some Dolphins from the beach which was as a nice way to end our beach stay.

    A fantastic location, and because of the amount of shade and greenery. It was cooler than other places. Very important! Extremely kind, welcoming and organized. Everything that you could need was included, and then some. Well, equipped kitchen, clothesline, sparkling, clean pool. I would definitely stay here again.

    The location was perfect. They are right across the street from the beach, boardwalk, shops and restaurants. We borrowed their beach chairs & towels and lounged on the beach, sat by their pool, rode their bikes to Turtle Inn for dinner, walked up & down the boardwalk/beach and enjoyed every minute. We traveled with our 2 adult children and appreciated that we could rent the main floor with 2 rooms and also the studio downstairs so we could each have our own space. It was safe to drink the tap water which was a bonus. The kitchen & bathroom had plenty of counter space and everything we needed. The balcony & decks have hammocks, tables, chairs and several places to relax in the shade of their palm trees. Phil & Megan who live on the top floor were so sweet & answered all of our questions. They also created a booklet on the coffee table with important information about the area as well as a list of their favorite restaurants. We tried several of them and especially loved Tutti Frutti gelato, Barefoot Bar, and Tipsy Tuna. We highly recommend staying here!

    Nothing bad I could say about this property.

    The location is walking distance to both the lagoon and the ocean - also close to all the restaurants. Our room had a very nice screened in porch. The room was on the first floor but all the windows had decorative bars which made you feel safe leaving open and/or sleeping with them open. Very nice stove and refrigerator if you want to cook. Nice pool to cool off. Bikes are available. Nice walk in shower. Very friendly owners live on site. Reasonably priced.

    There literally wasn't anything not to like.

    Great location right in the center of Placencia, Belize. We stayed in the one bedroom and it was fully equipped with everything we needed for our week long stay. The unit had much needed air conditioning units in both the living room and bedroom. There was grocery store across the street and all of our tours/expeditions started from a company located right next door. This is an awesome location with restaurants, bars and beach all in throwing distance.
