Vacation rentals with a kayak in Belize

Karen’s place exceeded our expectations. We do not like to travel to areas that are packed with tourists. Staying at Sittee Point was perfect- the village of Hopkins had everything we needed and the vibe was so peaceful. The home and beach area were perfect for our family’s needs. We had access to everything we needed for a wonderful week in Belize. Karen was very responsive to our questions, the caretaker Brian was very helpful as well, and the boat captain Steven was a treasure. If/when we find ourselves planning a trip to Belize again, we will definitely want to stay at Karen’s place.

We loved this place. The view is spectacular. Only small suggestion I would say is to put a little refrigerator in the casita side for cold waters and small items. Thank you for a wonderful week.

As beautiful and peaceful as we were hoping! Such a great setting, very easy to find and super central to both Maya Beach and just a 20-min drive to Placencia. Publics grocery is 8-min drive south, and loads of close restaurants. We used the kayaks and even fished in them across the lagoon. Star gazed at night from the dock, and cooked in the fully equipped and stocked kitchen. Herbert provided absolutely anything you could ever need and then some. Seriously, not just sun block and bug spray, but like 3 kinds. Numerous different towels and beach towels, umbrellas, spices and oils/marinades in the kitchen, not only kayaks and bikes, but a fishing pole and net, multiple sizes life jacket, super strong WiFi, you name it. Great bathroom with big tub and strong water pressure. Sitting on the deck listening to the lagoon was mesmerizing. Obviously a lot of planning went into the thoughtful details and we absolutely loved our stay. Thank you Herbert!

I cannot recommend Tina's home highly enough. From booking to checkout, the process was easy and seamless. The home is gorgeous and has everything you need and more. The view cannot be beat. The pool was refreshing after a day out snorkeling or into town or to Caye Caulker. Eva, the house manager, virtually acts as a personal concierge - seeing to everything you could possibly need at the house, tons of contacts for snorkeling, fishing, massages (at the dock) and restaurants. She met us as we docked and was available throughout our stay to ensure a wonderful visit to Belize. As noted in the description, the house is a 25-minute golf cart ride on, at times, an unpaved dirt road. It can be bumpy but overall it's definitely worth it. The beds were comfy, the A/C was a dream, and we cooked a few meals there and found everything we needed. We hated to leave but are grateful for the hospitality and beautiful place to visit. If you're considering a San Pedro visit, this is the place!

We loved our stay at the Sunset Caribbean Cottage. The house was beautiful, relaxing and the pool in front was a huge plus. You definitely need to rent a bike or golf cart to get to the main part of town which was fine with us since we were looking for a quiet and relaxing stay.

The house was very comfortable and views were amazing. We loved having our own oasis away from the hustle and bustle. The location is not near the main village so would recommend having your own transportation. The kitchen had everything you'd need so we didn't have to purchase a bunch of additional items like spices. Bed was comfortable and the overall living space was great.

We absolutely LOVED staying at this beautiful home. The house is amazing - exactly as pictured and described. The kitchen is so well stocked! But we were barely inside for the entire week. The location is ideal. We were on the beach and in the water! The paddle board and kayaks were so much fun. We brought our own masks and snorkels and had thoroughly enjoyed swimming/snorkeling right from the house. We could walk down the beach to several restaurants. We rode the bikes to other restaurants. We fell in love with Hopkins and cannot wait to come back and we would definitely stay at Kirsty's house for sure! (While we didn't get a chance to meet Kirsty, we really enjoyed meeting Jay! All of the Luxe staff was so helpful /responsive at all times.

Stop searching for a place and book here!! We absolutely LOVED our stay at Salty Bliss! The house is everything and more. We spent most of our vacation enjoying the beautiful pool looking at the lagoon! Bonnie and Dora are the nicest and so helpful. We booked a golf cart (highly recommend doing to explore the island!) and a snorkeling tour (that picked us up right from the lagoon in the back of the house!) with Bonnie’s advice and can’t recommend using the same companies enough. The house is SO stocked with everything you could ever need - towels, coolers, bags, even frozen gel packs ready to put into the coolers. When we return to Placencia I wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else! Thank you so much Bonnie for making our first visit unforgettable! 💜

We loved our stay at Maya Moon Cottage! Beautiful location and setting. Flowers Vacation Rentals provided thorough instructions, and were friendly and responsive. The home was clean, well-equipped, and felt private from the larger guest house on the property. Like many past guests, we frequented the pool at the hotel next door. The cottage is about a 20 minute drive from the village of Placencia, so we were glad we rented a car for our family. Getting around was easy (speed bumps, beware!) and there are so many amazing local restaurants to discover.

Beautiful spot. Fun house. Great views. We are a family of 4 which was really tight but last minute we made it work. It’s perfect for 2. Shanna kindly offered an air mattress which we stuffed at the foot of the bed upstairs because there is no air conditioning downstairs where the futon/kitchen is. It was way too hot to sleep downstairs.

The Treehouse is such a gem! My only regret is not booking a longer stay. The place is homey, lived in, and the private beach access could not be beat. Rubio, the caretaker, was incredibly attentive and so generous, helping us with the kayaks and always getting us fresh coconuts. It’s a perfect get away and I can’t wait to return!!

We liked the mermaid cottage a lot. We stayed at one of the tiny houses as well. I didn't realize that there is not a beach here though and the sand that is all around in the photos is not sand you can play in, it's just a dusting on top of the ground. And much of it had biting ants. So this was a beautiful place but not ideal for little kids (our 2 year old was with us). We spent our days down at the Bohemian in town which had a beach and pool. We loved the little plunge pool at the cottage though, it was very cute and a great way to cool off. If you are looking into their different accomodations, this is definitely the best one. This place is about a 15 minute drive into the town of Placencia. If you walk two properties down to the left there is a nice resort with a restaurant. Communication is very confusing but if you just talk to Jose it will be all good.

This cabana was perfect for us. It is in the heart of Hopkins to get a really great feel for the town. Very walkable to many good restaurants. Loved the convenience of the grocery store. The cabana is exactly as described and pictured. The loft stairs are more of a ladder but were easy for us to navigate. Kevin and Patty happened to be in town and made us feel very welcome and comfortable. Excellent air conditioning and internet if you need it. We drove from Belize City using Crystal auto rentals. It was very easy and we felt safe the entire time. We also took very easy drives to Palencia and Cockscomb. We will be back!

We loved our stay at Villas Secreta! It was beautiful and the staff were incredible (especially Shauna and Jorgie!). It was a bit remote- we didn’t realize how far away secret beach was from the main part of San Pedro. But overall, amazing experience.

Godfrey communicated with us in advance and arranged pick up from airport to a restaurant (he had a few recommendations) and then being brought from restaurant to the cabin He was very friendly and welcoming The cabin was clean , nice wooden floors, comfortable bed , quite, felt nice with A/C We were able to heat up our breakfast in Mwave and made black coffee

I really enjoyed my stay here for a few reasons, the first and biggest reason was how great Stacey and her family was. I was coming out there alone and was on edge but Stacey quickly made me feel safe and comfortable. She also made me a great breakfast every morning. Secondly, If you love nature or just want a peaceful, private getaway, this is the place for you. I got to see spider monkeys and kayak on the creek, it was pretty cool. Lastly, The cabin was very clean and modern, and they provided everything you would need— I loved the shower! It was pretty far from everything, and the road getting out there is pretty bumpy so just be prepared for that, but everything else was great. I had maximum peace out there just journaling, reading, chilling, and spending time with Gods beautiful creation.

The description and pictures don't do justice to Villas Secreta. We loved our time here. Secret Beach is a little out of the way, but the property is nicely secluded with a very private beach - it was a beautiful, private location and we would definitely come back. Be prepared for a bumpy golf-cart ride to get there. And unless the situation changes in the future, the (half-mile?) boat ride from the parking area to the property was an extra part of the fun. We loved it all - even the iguanas!

Lovely, rustic River Cabin. AC! Beautiful river view, a very comfortable sitting area on the porch, but not much seating inside the cabin unless at the table. Remember your bug spray, and be prepared for a dusty, bumpy ride in. Nice birds and nice neighbors. Fun fishing trip on the Sittee River! Approximately 15 minutes into Hopkins Village, and close to Cockscomb and Serpon Sugar Mill. Tonya was very responsive.

The property is beautiful. Having your own little slice of beach without having to play the lounger game is fantastic. We rented a golf car, which made it very easy to check out the village and even venture a little further north. We have already discussed coming back.

The location of the three cabins on the river is gorgeous. Waking up to Toucans and Parrots and a myriad of other beautiful tropical birds is such a treat. We caught enough Snook to give some away and feed us multiple meals. Our cabin was immaculate and the kitchen amenities were complete and then some. We made fruit smoothies in the blender every day from produce bought from vegetable stands in town. Guides brought tourists up the Sittee River where we stayed. The screened porch was wonderfully comfortable. The town is a two-mile dirt road, just enough to make the cabin feel wild, but close enough to town for daily visits. It’s safe and friendly…old-style Belize. More bicycles than cars and almost no big resorts. Just family-owned restaurants and shops and homes with their doors wide open. It’s really inexpensive to eat out; the food was simple but delicious, a Belikan Stout beer cost between $1.25 US and $2.00. But watch out because their alcohol content is high. A rare find.
