About this property

Oceanfront 3Bd/3Bth Home w/ Blue Skies, Emerald Seas, Warm Winds & Coconut Trees

Welcome to La Isla Bonita! You will not find a more friendly and calming destination as San Pedro Belize and Villa La Jolla is the perfect hub for your island vacation!

*Covid-19 Update: Belize is Open and has policies and practices in place to keep you safe! There are requirements to travel, so please visit the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) website to see prerequisite actions required. Accordingly, Villa La Jolla is a Gold Standard Accommodation, meeting the highest standards of health, safety and sanitization services and is on the approved list of hotels as "Los Encantos Villas" (the name of our private 4 villa compound).

Villa La Jolla is two-level mahogany and sandstone villa is located directly on the Caribbean Sea. The custom home has two ground level master suites with private bathrooms, including hand painted double sinks and both bedrooms open out to a covered porch overlooking the beach, palm trees and the Caribbean Sea. There is a 3rd large bedroom upstairs with a full bath just steps away. The large living & dining areas make up most of the 2nd floor, along with a full kitchen. There is a large upper deck with a comfy hammock and seating that overlooks the front yard of your dreams with blue skies, emerald seas, warm winds and coconut trees!

The four villas of Los Encantos spaciously encircle a lovely saltwater pool, with Villa La Jolla (unit #1) on the oceanfront. There are plenty of lounge chairs around the pool, on the beach and around to beautiful landscaped grounds. Choose either sun filled or shaded by a palm frond umbrella or coconut trees (or move to your own quiet corner of paradise).

You are close enough to San Pedro town, but still feels very private. San Pedro can be accessed on the dock via regular water ferry, private water taxi, or by road via golf cart or bike. And, there are great restaurants and bars that are a short distance up or down the beach from Villa La Jolla.

Ambergris Caye, Belize's largest island, is known for its water sports, scuba diving and Caribbean beaches. Within sight of your villa, the Belize Barrier Reef (the world’s 2nd largest) features famed snorkeling and dive sites such as the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with an abundance of sea life, and the 124m-deep Great Blue Hole.

While Villa La Jolla is on the Caribbean Sea side of the island, it's conveniently located adjacent to the island cross-road that goes to the infamous Secret Beach on the lagoon side of the island. Just a short drive across you'll find several establishments offering lounge chairs, shaded tables in the water, shaded docks, inner-tubes, over water massage, grilled food, cold beer, exotic concoctions & shallow turquoise waters! You can walk about 1/4 mile out from the beach in waist deep turquoise water! It’s a must see.

Villa La Jolla is a very comfortable, welcoming private home, the perfect “home base” for your amazing Ambergris Caye and Belize adventures. It may not be your choice if you seek 'gourmet kitchens' or 1000 thread count bedsheets. However, if you want somewhere you'll feel very welcomed, comfortable and able to live, relax and enjoy everything the island has to offer, then we're your choice. If there is anything you need or would like, our onsite caretaker and our San Pedro management company, Reef Management, will assist immediately. Reef and their terrific staff are a phone call away to arrange tours, golf carts rentals, bike rentals, water taxis, restaurant bookings - anything you wish.

**Exterior Security Camera In Use On Property: Exterior security cameras are in place to monitor ground level exterior door and windows. They are not located within or positioned to view any interior locations or those requiring reasonable expectation of privacy.

We are very grateful for the nice reviews that our guests have sent and you can read these at 'Reviews'. We want you to have as complete a picture as possible of your Belizean vacation spot.

Thank you for your interest in Villa La Jolla at Los Encantos. Please feel free to ask us any questions. We want you to enjoy our home as much as we do!

Great stay

Loved this property. Visited this place with a group of 6 of us total. Host was great and helpful getting us golf carts, setting us up with excursions, and getting us to and from the property. It is a little far from downtown San Pedro but it is a beautiful property and I would definitely stay here again.

Los Encantos in North San Pedro exceeded our expectations!

Our 7-day stay at Los Encantos exceeded our expectations. The property was as described and Harly, on-site maintenance works diligently to keep the property pristine. Janice, our on-site contact provided us with so many great suggestions for both activities and places to dine. Nevia, our housekeeper cooked us the most amazing meal complete with key lime pie. Renaldo picked us up upon arrival and dropped us off at departure - a sweet man. I highly recommend a snorkelling excursion with Clinton and his team at Ali Mermaid Adventures.morning beach walks were a great start to the day and watching the sun set from our balcony was breathtaking. This place is magical!

Great Villas, Lousy Roads

The property was absolutely wonderful, and Haly & Neira were terrific! (Probably misspelled their names. Sorry.) were terrific. Very friendly and extremely fast to respond to any questions or issues. Unfortunately, the roads in and out are horrendous. Potholes the size of craters, and a terribly bumpy ride to basically anywhere. Because of the conditions of the road travel to San Pedro and back takes forever. Other than the road, we highly recommend Los Encantos.

Great house

This was an excellent house on the beach! Harley and Nevia were the best! We had Nevia fix us dinner one night when we returned from our excursion and it was the best meal we had all week. We had great communication with Harley the caretaker.

Good friends, great time

We had a wonderful time at Los Cantos. The house was beautiful, exceptionally clean, and the caretakers Harley and his wife were fabulous. If you have the opportunity for Harley’s wife to make you supper please do it. One of the best meals we had while on the island. This is the perfect place to stay if you are looking to skip the hustle and bustle of San Pedro, yet it’s an east cart ride if you want to go to town. Would happily stay here again.

Spacious and lovely hacienda

We enjoyed staying at this roomy and clean hacienda. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of space to stretch out. We would have preferred having access to the washer/dryer. We also had some leaking in one bathroom and the air conditioning wasn’t working in one bedroom. Wish we could have swam in the sea- we didn’t realize that seaweed would be such an issue in Belize.

Clean well set up property

We came with my husband,our daughter, her husband and his mother. The property gave us plenty of space for privacy and togetherness. The view was exceptional. The only downside was the roads which the home owner has no control. The wonderful Belizean people,including Harley & Nevia and their girls and people we met along the way said the government is promising improvements.

Amazing Property in Paradise

We just returned from a week stay at Villa La Jolla and had an amazing time. From the time we booked, the communication was excellent with regards to the property, arrival, shuttle to and from, excursions, etc. We were greeted by Harly who introduced us to the property and got us settled. He made for a great stay, checked up on us daily, and provided great insight into things to do, directions, etc. Nevia, Harly's wife, handled some laundry for us and even cooked us a fabulous dinner one evening. The property is beautiful and exceptionally maintained. More than enough room for our family of four to stretch out, swim, head out to the dock, or even search for wildlife (hermit crabs, lizards, iguanas, fish, etc.). Very comfortable, well-furnished, and has amazing views. We were introduced to Clinton who provides various excursions. We decided to go snorkeling, sightseeing, stopped at Cay Caulker, fed the Tarpon, and a few other fun things. I highly recommend an outing with Clinton. Ambergris Cay is amazing in itself, especially the people. Each morning we purchased breakfast burritos from a vendor that came by the house, we tried a variety of bars and restaurants, and tried to frequent the local roadside stands. So much to write as we did something different every day! Tranquility Bay, Secret Beach, Truck Stop, San Pedro, the list goes on and on… If you want a fantastic experience, I highly suggest a stay at Villa La Jolla on the beautiful Ambergris Cay!

Amazing stay!

You will not be disappointed staying here. Harley and Nevia will take great care of you. The location was perfect as we didn’t want to be in the busy downtown area. It’s close to Secret beach. Be sure and get a golf cart and bring mosquito spray if you have sweet blood. Lots of boating excursions that will pick you up right at the dock. Can’t wait to go back! Highly recommend Los Encantos.

This place was amazing!!! The views were spectacular!! We were there for a full week, so quiet and peaceful. The house was perfect for all our needs. We had 6 adults and it had plenty of room for all of us. Harly and Nevia were great, available when needed. Clinton took us on our adventures and they were the best.....so much fun.

Fantastic Graduation Trip Location

We traveled as a group of 5 ladies for my daughter and her friend’s high school graduation trip. We loved everything about Los Encantos. The views, the pool, the dock and palapa with its loungers. The villa is perfectly equipped with everything needed. Having three bathrooms was especially great with 5 women. The bedrooms are all good sized and perfectly equipped. The AC units are awesome because you can turn them off during the day but they cool the bedrooms off quickly when you are ready for bed. Harley and Nevia are onsite to help with any questions or needs. We highly recommend this villa if you would like to be out of the congestion of San Pedro and have a relaxing, quiet place to stay. Make sure you rent a golf cart because you definitely need it up in that northern area. There are enough good restaurants and a couple stores nearby to fulfill any needs you may have missed with your grocery order. In fact, the restaurants were so good we left tons of food for Harley and Nevia at the end of our trip. You won’t regret staying at Los Encantos if you like to be able to watch the ocean while sitting on a lovely deck, in the pool or on a dock. We think it was “unBelizable.”

Spring Break

The house was fantastic! The caretakers went out of their way to be helpful and welcoming. Our only issue was the lack of safety floatation devices on the dock. We could not locate a safety ring to assist with going after our teenager who went out in the ocean too far. Otherwise, our stay was awesome and would recommend it.

Great Garden Great Place

After exploring the island it was always great to come back and relax with AC throughout the place. The landscaping here really puts you in paradise and the pool was a good place to hang out at times. Harly and his wife, whom maintains the grounds were amazing and we did the Mermaid adventures with Clinton. We rented a cart and Janice the owner was always on hand to help us out if we had any issues or point out the best places to go. All in all it was a great vacation.

Lack of connection

The property and location are magnificent! Other guests near by were loud holiday makers and monopolized the pool by standing in it and drinking.. a lot. The management and the staff had a major disconnect making it difficult to achieve simple requests. A large frying pan, trash removal and obtaining a fishing guide. The caretaker lit the garbage bin on fire —-twice. Flames were 6-7 feet high. It was located next to the golf cart parking lot !
