Holiday rentals with a pool in Placencia Peninsula

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.

All I have to say is...PERFECTION!!! We've been renting airbnb's for over 10 years and this has been the best yet. Great location, well taken care of, clean, responsive friendly hosts, great amenities and the most well stocked place I've experienced. I can't say enough great things about this place.

It is a beautiful property. We booked the whole property for the six of us. I had the cabana closest to the water and early morning coffee on the veranda doesn’t get better! The dock was a lot of fun but as we hit a windy few days we couldn’t use their paddle board or canoe. My 9 year old grandchildren loved the splash pool and attempted to feed the many geckos and iguanas? We had a car which made shopping and sightseeing easier. The furnishings and appliances were upscale but not fussy. Beds and pillows were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Anyone we saw was very friendly and we felt safe. I wished we’d had longer!

Great place to stay, very private and family friendly. Highly recommend 👏

Phil's place is a great location for exploring Belize without the tourists! Centrally located in the southern part of the country, it was within an hour of great little villages like Placencia, Dangriga and Hopkins, as well as the mountains and cayes for hiking, zip lining, snorkeling, caving...you name it. It's off the beaten path, nestled in a reserve so be prepared for driving on dirt roads to get there, but hey, it's Belize, so that's common and you'll get used to it. We drove from Belize City so didn't take up Phil's offer to rent his personal Jeep, but you'll definitely need an SUV (that's all rental companies provide anyway). It's a good place to stay if you are allergic to tourists and want a nice quiet, peaceful home with all the amenities....but close enough to drive in for dinner or drinks with expats or tourists if you get lonely. Phil's house was super clean, safe, beautiful, comfortable and well provisioned. We stayed with our two teenage boys who loved the pool and the beach club with access to the ocean, paddle boards and kayaks. We had it to ourselves most days! There is no cable TV (which we loved) but Phil's got the most amazing collection of movies (1,000+) so you won't be bored (movie night was every night!). Since it's a bit remote, you likely won't be going out to eat every day, so stop by a grocery store in any of the towns on the way in or the surprisingly well-stocked store on the community, including a case of Belikin beer in a returnable crate (THE beer of Belize).

We are a family of 5 and recently stayed at La Vida Belize. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The plunge pool, beach and dock were the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. We enjoyed being in a quieter area and didn’t mind the distance from the main area of Placencia. We rented a car and explored several areas in Belize during our stay. We used the guestbook for tips about the area and places to eat near Maya Beach. The grounds keepers were friendly and kept everything nice for us during our stay. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. During our week stay, some of the activities we were able to do included: snorkling with Captain Jak’s, visit the Bocawina Nation Park & Zip-line Adventure, fishing, a Monkey River tour and visit some Mayan Ruins. We also spent a good amount of time relaxing and reading on the beach or by the pool. We recommend staying here.

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.

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit mit zwei Kids, der Pool und die Bar samt Essen sind super, die Leute freundlich und die Hütte genau richtig. Die Küche könnte etwas besser ausgestattet sein, aber das hat trotzdem gut geklappt. Chris hat uns gute Tipps gegeben und sogar geholfen, weil wir Dinge dort vergessen hatten. Danke! :)

We were two couples who stayed in Michelle’s condo fairly last minute when our accommodations were cancelled. Check in was smooth with Jack”s assistance and condo was great. Perfect space for the 4 of us . Edwin and his family were lovely and always ready to take us on the boat ride across the canal for the short walk/bike ride to town. Edwin and Jack were both very responsive and always willing to help arrange cabs/excursions. Would definitely stay again.

We visited Placencia during Tropical Storm Sara (Nov 2024). As we have never been in a tropical storm (snow blizzards are what we are used to), it was a panic when traveling into one with our 2 children. All we ever want is for them to be safe. Tracy was kind to let us check in a couple hours earlier for peace of mind. Thankfully - the storm hit north of us and the weather improved through out our stay. We love the location - watching and listening to the waves facing the Caribbean, and then having the lagoon on the other side. My kids swam every day in the pool, even when it was pouring rain. Rosa, the caretaker, was extremely friendly and helpful. We would 100% stay here again next time we visit. The use of the kayaks was a great perk. We didn’t use the bikes.

So happy we found this place! The location was perfect for us. We walked to town for groceries, dining, gifts and visited the many beaches along the main beach sidewalk. We cooked most days, but the days we would dine out, the food was amazing. Edwin, the property caretaker, was extremely helpful with recommendations and was always available to take us across the canal. He goes out of his way to help us. One day our rental car battery died and Edwin helped us get ahold of the rental company to pick us up because our phones could not make calls in Belize. We were able to use a chat thru whats app to communicate. I hope to come back! What an amazing vacation. Only feedback would be to add a pillow top on the master bedroom king bed. Thank you so much for a great experience.

El apartamento está en muy buen estado al igual que todas las amenidades. Nos encanctó la piscina y la playa frente al complejo.

We were on a girls trip and this place was perfect! We cooked breakfast everyday, and went to town for dinner each evening. The pools were great! Picking mangos and coco plums on the property was fun, and we loved seeing the birds and hummingbirds. We were glad we had a car for going to the grocery store and to town for dinner. The beach wasn’t as nice because of the seaweed, but I was still able to swim in the ocean 2 of the days. It vs was still very nice to sit on the beach and watch the waves.

Our 2nd year visiting and staying here…great value at a great location. Loved the whole pontoon boat experience getting over to the condos…especially Edwin’s cheerful and professional help. And Odie the boat dog was a bonus! Walk to town and easy access to the whole village.We’ll be back.

What a beautiful place. It's quite and the staff is friendly. Kimberly the property manager was easy to talk to. Alvaro the head grounds keeper was awesome with taking care of us. Our place was on the 3rd floor but does not have an elevator, the 3rd bedroom is on a loft up the spiral staircase. 2 set of French doors leading onto the balcony. 1 from the master and the 2nd from the living room. Our trip included 4 people and we stayed a week. A picture perfect first time in Placencia. Will I be back? You betta Belize It!

My daughters and I absolutely loved your place. It was peaceful, quiet and adorable. We were able to walk into the village for coffee, a quick bite or to explore. Caught a sunrise on the palapa and a sunset on the roof. It was magical! Thanks for sharing your space with us!
