About this property

TOURISM GOLD STANDARD - Sunset Pointe 2nd floor Private Waterfront Paradise

Sunset Pointe Condos offer a large open floor plan with West Indies style architecture and every room opening onto private covered porches. There are 4 units per building with no shared walls. The common area of each building includes a large breezeway on each floor and observation deck on the third level. The Master bedroom has private bath with porch overlooking pool, Mayan Mountains and Lagoon. Second bedroom has double bed, bunk beds and single bed up in loft - it sleeps 5. Its porch over looks the beautiful Caribbean Sea. Hall full bath and sofa bed in living rooms. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, blender, stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops. TV, cable, DVD, DVD library, stereo, internet, ceiling fans, A/C in every room and Mexican tile floors. We can accommodate up to 8 people.
Sunset Pointe is located at the southernmost tip of Placencia Peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides. The natural beauty of the tropical mangroves, the turquoise waters of the blue Caribbean Sea, the placid marine rich Placencia Lagoon and the Mayan Mountains are the back drop of a 360 degree view from Sunset Pointe Condos.

About 100 miles south of Belize City lies a 16-mile long peninsula. Placencia Village is a quaint fishing village that is home to about 500 Creole fishermen and their families. Surrounded by the beautiful Caribbean on the East side, the mangrove-lined Placencia Lagoon on the West side and the 2nd largest Barrier Reef in the world only 16 miles off our coast, you can see why Placencia is a dream destination for those who love to fish, dive or snorkel. But if you are more intrigued by land adventures, Belize will not disappoint! There are beautiful forests to zip line through, caves to hike, rivers for rafting, Mayan ruins to explore… just to get you started!
You can vacation here in secluded luxury at Sunset Pointe, a private, 12 condo, individually owned vacation residence.

Whether you want active adventure or quiet relaxation or both, you can have it during your stay at Sunset Pointe. From outings into the adjacent Caribbean Sea for fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, spearfishing, secluded island hopping, beach combing and sunbathing to road trips into the interior for jungle exploration, zip lining, cave tubing, Mayan ruins, and tomb trekking, it is all available with a private guide at the helm. Alfred Williams, our friend and 30 year licensed local guide in Belize, will take you there in his boat or vehicle. Venture on your own with a lagoon-side 10 minute walk into the heart on Placencia Village for provisions at the supermarket/pharmacy, a stop at the internet cafe, lunch at a local restaurant on the beach or over water, a sip at the local wine bar, and desert at the authentic Italian gelato shop. Rent a golf cart in town and visit one or several small resorts which line the Caribbean side of the peninsula to shop, or take your fresh caught fish which they will prepare for you for a fabulous dinner.

You may want to take the day off and relax with the private amenities of Sunset Pointe which include the pool, hot tub, 360 degree view roof top palapas, Caribbean dock with hammocks, fishing pier with boat slips, outdoor barbecue pit with caretaker on site. Take in the sunrises over the Caribbean Sea and majestic sunsets over the lagoon and Mayan Mountains. After walk into town for some tropical nightlife at the local beach bars which offer drinks and dancing well past midnight. Kayaks and bikes are provided for exploring Lagoon and Village.

Relaxing solitude

For my wife and I, this was our first time in Belize and we loved it. Our condo was excellent The views spectacular We loved the fact that we had privacy with the only drawback being we were quite a distance from the town But that was also a good thing because we would not have wanted to stay in town because it would not have been as private, or off the beaten track as it were

Beautiful Condo In Placencia

We loved our stay at Sunset Pointe! Both the location and the condo are beautiful, and we loved sitting out on the second floor balcony with a beautiful view of the ocean, or relaxing by the pool. Town is a 15 minute walk away, and there are many nice restaurants to choose from. We especially enjoyed the local Belizian fare.

Sea breezes, sun, privacy, easy walk to town, friendly and helpful caretaker, amazing views, everything you need for a relaxing and interesting vacation. The condo was well equipped and comfortable. The decks were like a little bit of heaven to sit on in the cool shade and relax and enjoy life going by on land and in the sea. The crows nest was the best!!

This is our second time staying at sunset point and we always enjoy ourselves. Best location in town. Lagoon to one side, ocean view to the other. Open doors to both verandas and the sea breezes kept us cool. Did I mention the views?! Thank you for sharing your little slice of paradise with us! We’ll see you again in a couple years!

Amazing Vacation

Wow! Where do I start? We spent nearly 6 months looking at various areas in Belize from Belize City to San Pedro to Placencia. After some discussion we agreed upon Placencia based on our search criteria. There were a few things we were looking for in a condo; a BBQ, easy access to the beach, a pool and two/three bedrooms or 2 beds and a pullout. We also wanted to keep our price around $250/night. We found that and more in this condo, which fit our travel period of November 7 to November 17. We communicated with one of the owners, Helen on a regular basis, receiving information to questions we had about the condo and the area. Her responses were invaluable to our search and were happy to finally arrive in Placencia at Sunset Point. We had an amazing time in town, on our excursions and in the condo. The people. The weather (even Tropical Storm Sara). The food. Everything was wonderful and made this one of the best vacations we have taken. We look forward to returning to Belize and will be looking for this condo again when we return to Placencia. One recommendation, connect with Alfred Williams! He is an amazing tour guide and will dock right in front of the condo. Thanks again for a great condo!

New friends!

Condo has great views of the canal on one side and palapa on the other. Accommodations were nice and the air conditioning a welcome for our first trip to Belize. Onsite caretaker Francisco was the absolute best and one of the nicest people you will meet!! Enjoyed the onsite pets Luna (dog) and Siger (cat). Luna is super happy to watch the sunrise from the palapa with you in the mornings. Overall I would recommend staying at this end of the road, quiet condo!

Sunset Pointe

Our first visit to Placencia was a great visit. The unit we stayed in was a second floor unit with beautiful views from both sides! The breezes were wonderful. Didn't need to use the a/c. We loved the dock for the morning sunrise. The only thing lacking at the dock is a ladder to be able to get in and out of the water from the dock. The unit had everything we needed! A short walk or bike ride into the village of Placencia lent itself to many restaurants and local Belizian meals. We especially enjoyed Carmen's Kitchen. We took a fishing trip and regret that we did not book it through Alfred! The neighbors in Sunset Pointe were all very friendly and helpful! The toilet tissue (issue) took a little getting used to! The unit is well stocked and beautifully decorated. Having access to bikes was wonderful. We enjoyed riding around and exploring the areas. The notebook of things to do in the area is complete and a very helpful guide. We also enjoyed some time at the pool! It is beautiful. The unit is in a great location within the setting of Sunset Pointe. If we return to Placencia, we will consider staying here again!

Spacious and well-appointed

This is a great place to stay on the lagoon side in Placencia. My family (including 4 kids - 4, 7, & 9) had plenty of room in this beautiful condo. This kids all wanted to sleep in the 3rd level bunk! We had the owner’s friend Alfred and his charming son take us out to the Silk Cayes one day for snorkeling and the lunch at the Lionfish Grill on Reef/Hatchet Caye - an amazing experience that we highly recommend! And cool that you can be picked up for boat tours right outside your door. We used the pool one afternoon and also took the kayaks around the lagoon for an afternoon, both great! We didn’t really use the kitchen for meals other than breakfast & afternoon snacks - we didn’t have a car, so it was hard to stock up, plus I was not inclined to cook on vacation :) The only thing missing at the complex is a swimming beach - which I don’t think is really possible in that part of Placencia anyway. The one day we went to the beach we just hung out at the barefoot beach bar and that worked fine (the cozy corner would be another option but it was closed on Monday). The beach wasn’t super nice (coarse sand & sea weed). We heard that the beaches in Maya Beach and Seine Bight are nicer, but we didn’t get up that way. We had breakfast at paradise resort twice - very good! And also enjoyed dinners at Rumfish y vino and the Secret Garden, and lunch at Omar’s (get the conch burrito). And gelato at Tutti Fruiti!

Just AWESOME!

Simply... WONDERFUL!!! Property is beautifully decorated with ample, open space and amenities for our group of 7 (6 adults, 1 child). The photos online really don't do justice to how nice the interior is decorated and constructed... love it!!! Grounds are well-kept, clean, and as modern as one would want or expect. Great local feel, without the touristy-BS typically found in beautiful locations like Placencia. Being at the end of a peninsula really makes one feel secluded, and the 7-10 minute stroll into town was perfect at ALL hours of the day. Not once did anyone in our group (ages 69-8) feel like we were "outsiders". The friendliness of the locals (as we found pretty-much throughout all of Belize) was refreshing... human beings being human :) The property manager, Francisco, was amazing during our stay. He really made us (more importantly our 8-yr old) feel comfortable and one of the family! He was always available (seriously, ALWAYS) and happy to help. Pool/hot tub and deck areas are well maintained - we never had any issues. Okay, a couple small tables would be welcome additions, but the color-changing pool lights at night even things out ;) Roof-top sitting areas and having 2 piers available for soaking in the reason why we came are also very nice. Thank you for having us, we'll be in contact for our next trip if you'll have us!

Wonderful stay in Placencia!

This is our second time to stay at Sunset Pointe but first time at Helen's lovely place. It was soooooooooooo much nicer to be on the top floor and Helen could not be a more responsive and considerate host. She always responded to me within minutes it seemed and was extremely accommodating. We always love Placencia and Sunset Pointe is a wonderful location. Having Helen as the excellent host she is just made our trip that much more perfect. Thanks Helen! :-)

Expensive... But worth it

2 bedroom 2 bathroom, neat as a pin. There are kayaks and bicycles to borrow. Security is tight. The grounds have 2 docks and we fished off the deep one.there is a palapa 'lookout' on the roof. A 15 minute walk to town or a five minute bike ride. The internet worked well. Huge deck. Very well equipped with pots pans coffee maker. The water is safe to drink there. Placencia is very laid back, with many restaurants. If you are looking for action go to Amberquis Cay. If you just want peace and quiet, placencia is the place for youThank you Helen

Magical!

Being at the tip of the peninsula was perfect for our family of five. The beds were plentiful, the a/c and WiFi were welcomed and the views from the turrets was spectacular. Sitting on top, gazing at the stars above and listening to the town come alive below while fireworks exploded for Christmas was amazing. The hosts that live on the property are awesome. Their dog Star is cute, too! We highly recommend this safe and clean place to stay while visiting Placencia. Renting a golf cart is not always needed but fun to drive! Enjoy!

Awesome vacation!

The condo was clean and filled with all that you would need. Very convenient to town and has 2 docks nearby. The caretaker was very helpful and even let us rent his golf cart! Albert is a local guide used by the owners and we went out twice with him snorkeling and saw some amazing things! We went ziplining river tubing and saw some great waterfalls...all very beautiful! We used a company named Truly Wild Belize and the guys were very knowledgeable, we had a superior lunch and an all around fun day. Would highly recommend these condos!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We have been traveling to Belize since 2014 and love it. There is so much to do and see. The people are so friendly we just kept coming back. We have had some of the best times of our life here. It really is a home away from home. As soon as we saw Sunset Pointe, we knew that we wanted to make it our second home. We purchased our unit the day it went on sale! The location is ideal - a close walk to town, but privately located at the tip of a peninsula on a dirt road. The decor of each unit is unique, warm and welcoming, not like cookie-cutter units found in many condo complexes.

What makes this property unique

How many places in the world can you see whales sharks, eagle rays, dolphin, manatee, sea turtles, boas, macaws, toucans, iguanas, jaguar, tapir, gibnut, deer, beautiful tropical fish and then some all in their natural habit. Fishing is some of the best in the world! Belize truly has something for everyone. WE still continue to find new adventures to do. It is complete paradise!
