6 fantastic weeks

My wife and I spent six great weeks at the Placencia Beach House from December to February. During that time, we had guests visit utilizing the extra beds. The setup is great for up to 4 adults and 2 kids (the bunkbeds are small for adults). The transfer from the airport was super easy and just a short taxi ride. The house is on the sidewalk and is just less than a mile to the point. We made the walk multiple times a day enjoying the beauty and friendly people of Placencia. The walk helped offset the food and beverage intake. The Placencia Beach Club is a short walk away. There are multiple places to get great food and drinks. The property is postcard beautiful. We enjoyed the open-air living that seemed to give more of a Island Living feel. We spent all our time on the patio enjoying the weather, views and hammocks. Some days the ocean was smooth as glass and others had waves rolling in. The ocean is typically very clear with a great sand bottom right outside our door. We would rate our experience a 10+. We have done many all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, but this had a completely different enjoyment.

A slice of heaven

We had a multigenerational stay at the placencia beach house. The location was perfect, at the top of the boardwalk for easy access to town and ok the most beautiful stretch of the placencia beach. Lou was a wonderfullu helpful host and the house is really well equipped and very comfortable. I could have happily stay there forever.

The Vibe That Keeps Giving

My mother, sister, and myself spent a much needed week on a girl's trip in this beach house and it was exactly what we needed. The house is clean, functional and rustic in the best way possible. Having no ac was only a challenge when there was no ocean breeze and everything is hot and still but with the breeze it is amazing. There is everything you need to enjoy your stay. Everything. The views from the verandah are breathtaking. Lou is a great host who is available but unintrusive. Thank you for sharing your home. If you want a little heaven on Earth then this is your spot.

Wonderful Trip!

We had such a wonderful stay at the Placencia Beach House! Lou is a wealth of knowledge and such a wonderful host. Everything about the experience was seamless… booking the house, communication before and during our stay, advice on local companies to use for excursions, pointers on where to find the best local lunches. Our family of 6 fit comfortably in the house, and had everything we needed during our stay. Even with the warm, sunny days, the house was always cool with the ocean breeze. Coffee and mornings on the porch were the best; the view can’t be beat! When we return to Placencia we will definitely be staying at the Placencia Beach House again!

Perfect Beach House

If you are looking for the perfect Beach House getaway, then this is your place. I've stayed many places on the beach over the years but never a place with as much charm and character at this. Full kitchen has everything you need to prepare that fresh catch from your fishing trip or any other meal you wish to make. Full size fridge for all your beverages & food storage. Plenty of super soft towels and linens to accommodate a full family. My wife, 3 kids and I stayed here very comfortably and absolutely loved it! A wonderful open feel to the place, just open the windows and let the ocean breeze move right through. The property is hands down, the best private beach setting on the peninsula. Huge yard between you and the beach with groomed palm trees scattered about for just enough shade and more than 150 ft of beachfront. Situated right at norther most end of the sidewalk, it is walking distance to all of the shops, restaurants, and bars but just far enough away to make it feel private and secluded. Mrs. Lou was a wonderful host and was easy to get ahold of if needed. We all give this beach house 5 stars and will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to Placencia!

Perfect place to stay

The Placencia Beach house was a delight in every way. The home itself is beautiful, cozy and highly functional. The deck is amazing and doubles the living space. Walk out your front yard and the beautiful water awaits. Out the back door you reach the Placencia Sidewalk. Easy access to everything and the grocery store is just a block away. The owner, Lou, a decades long Placencia resident, was on site and added immensely to our enjoyment of this home, her town and Belize overall. Highly recommend Placencia Beach House.

Paradise in Placencia!

Right from our first communication with Joshlin, my husband and I knew this was going to be a good vacation home to rent......we didn't expect it to be as outstanding as it was!! The location is prime with the boardwalk just step from the house that brings you into town. There is a grocery store a few minutes walk up the driveway, although as Joshlin pointed out, eating out tends to be less expensive than buying food to cook at the house. We did buy fresh fruit the days it was delivered to have for breakfast and of course beer and rum for those relaxing times on the deck or lounging in the beach chairs by the edge of the ocean :) The one small negative which could have simply been a timing issue with our trip, it that there seemed to be a lot of people travelling with their dogs who would bark during the day when we were trying to take in all that nature has to offer at the Placencia Beach House. This in no way reflects our opinion of the house, the location, or the top notch service we received! Despite the fact that my husband and I are very low maintenance, Joshlin was always around if/when we needed to ask her something but kept her distance allowing us the privacy we were looking for. We have traveled extensively throughout the Caribbean using VRBO rentals and this little Piece of Paradise definitely ranks in our top 3!! Thank you again Joshlin for sharing your wonderful piece of Paradise in Placencia with my husband and I! We will definitely see you again in our future excursions! Astrid & Nick

Love Placencia Beach House!

Cute and rustic beach house located on THE most beautiful lot in the whole area. We felt very fortunate to have chosen this property, as some of the beach further south was pretty gross (sargassum/trash) for the first part of the week. This area seems to get a lot less and we enjoyed the beach and ocean from day 1. The deck and hammocks are an oasis and the huge "front yard" is gorgeously maintained. The interior is nicely kept, but not so fancy that you are afraid of ruining anything after coming off the beach - the perfect combination of functional and comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked and the manager keeps you in supply of delicious fresh coconut water. No AC, but not needed - lots of fans and ocean breezes. Great selection of books, movies and games. Joshlin has though of just about everything to make for a great beach getaway. All the little things that some rentals neglect are not overlooked here (umbrellas, coffee filters, first aid kit, bug repellant, cooler, etc. - the list goes on and on).The only thing I would improve is the lighting. The kitchen, dining area and bathroom are very brightly/harshly lit which can make it tricky for night owls or early risers to not disturb others. Maybe a few smaller lamps or lower wattage bulbs? I'd also recommend earplugs for light sleepers as there are some neighborhood dogs who bark very early (but I don't think there is any escaping this in Placencia). Overall we loved the Placencia Beach House and can't wait to return. We scoped out a lot of other places while walking around and just kept saying how lucky we were and that we were staying in the BEST place in Placencia!

Beautiful property to enjoy life on the beach

Our family of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids, ranging in age from 5-12) stayed at the Placencia Beach House in December 2019 for almost the entire month. We absolutely loved our time in Placencia, and it was in no small part due to this beautiful space and welcoming host. The location is perfect- far from the noisy bars but still a short walk away from everything you could want. First off, the house itself is beautiful. So clean, very nicely decorated, and lots of windows. My kids got a kick out of the fact that no room was completely closed off, but of course that means that you get great airflow and the space stays cool even without A/C. The kitchen was well appointed. It was great to have reusable shopping bags available for our trips to Top Value and the fruit market. The expansive beach front and grown palm trees gives a sense of privacy, and in fact it is hard to see onto the porch when you are by the water. We made good use of the laundry and loved getting to hang dry our clothes. We swam in the sea almost everyday. I recommend bringing snorkel masks for comfort in the salt water. We would see fish and sand rays without having to go deep. The washed up shells and coral were cool finds for the kids. I highly recommend: waking early to catch sunrise on the beach and for a quiet beach walk, Mim's restaurant for stew chicken, Brewed Awakenings for donuts and seaweed smoothies, Top Value for groceries, Sunnyside Tours for snorkel trips, Cha Chi's for the Kriol pizza, and Tutti Frutti for ice cream. It really is so good! We ate a lot of street food while in Placencia and never got sick, so if you are feeling adventurous also give the home cooking a try. We used William's Shuttle Service to get to Placencia from the airport and were so pleased with the experience we booked it again on the way back. We decided to stop at the Belize zoo on our return trip and it ended up being one of the best experiences of the whole vacation. Last but certainly not least, we know our time in Placencia was as special as it was because of Joshlyn. She knows so much about Placencia, and had recommendations and advice for us no matter the topic. She was available and responsive to our questions- before and during our trip. I am so glad we had the chance to learn about Belize from her.

A true beach vacation

This is what staying at the beach is supposed to be. Great outdoor space, expansive beach, close walk to great food and a true beach town. The house is not isolated from its environment, its part of it in the best possible ways. If you want A/C and room service, look elsewhere. Towns like Placencia and this beach house are hard to find and harder to retain. Live it and love it while you can.

The Best Vacation Getaway!!

We had the best vacation in Belize! The Placencia Beach House is the perfect getaway; it felt like our own little slice of paradise! We loved that we were right on the beach and Joshlin made our stay exceptional. She helped us line up day trips and recommended places to eat in Placencia Village. Everything we could possibly need was available and within walking distance of the beach house. When we weren't lounging by the beach or enjoying the adventures that Belize has to offer, we simply kicked back with a book and relaxed in the hammocks on the deck, listening to the wind in the palm trees and the waves lapping the beach. We also enjoyed a nice collection of games and movies during our downtime in the evenings. Perfect!! If you are looking for a wonderful vacation, with exceptional accommodations, the perfect location, and an awesome hostess, look no further than the Placencia Beach House! Thank you, Joshlin, for an amazing visit! We hope to be back again!!!

True Paradise

Upon arriving at the Placencia Beach House, we were curious if it would be everything that the listing stated. Well, it was and more, Joshlin greeted us with all the ins and outs related to the property and all we needed to know about Placencia. The property was extremely clean and had everything that you would need...everything. They even provided fresh cold coconut water from the trees on the property when we arrived. The house has an amazing front porch with hammocks to soak in the breathtaking ocean views. Although all beaches in Placencia are public, we felt like we had it all to ourselves. The grocery store and pharmacy were at the end of the driveway, making it extremely convenient. It also sits at the northern part of Placencia's Sidewalk which makes it convenient to shops and restaurants. Joshlin was available to answer our questions throughout our six day trip. She was extremely friendly, had vast amounts of information and was fun to chat with. We would highly recommend The Placencia Beach House for couples, a friends vacation and a family getaway. Cheers!

Third time was the best yet!

Just returned from my third long stay (6 weeks each year) at Placencia Beach House. It is the perfect get-away, private, comfortable, great beach, easy walks to groceries, restaurants, and shops. Was joined by my daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons for 2 weeks. The house was perfect for the 5 of us. We all swam to De Tatch for breakfast (1/4 mile), one morning and walked to get gelato nearly every evening. Besides swimming, we went snorkeling with Wildside Adventures several times. Whether you’re looking to read in a hammock, rent a stand up paddle board, or take one of many available day trips, you’ll love coming back to the easy comfort of this house.

Paradise in Placencia

We absolutely loved staying in this house! There were four of us staying there, including our two teenage daughters. The view was spectacular, and the wraparound porch (with hammocks) made it easy for us to enjoy the beach view during the day and the stars at night. The house is extremely well-equipped; it seemed as if anything that we could want in the house already had been anticipated. Joshlin was very helpful and available. It's not right in the center of town, but everything is walkable, including a very close supermarket and pharmacy. Not being right in the center of town affords a large lot and a good measure of privacy. We went to sleep with the sound of the ocean in our ears, and the house always captured a lovely breeze. We had a wonderful time in this house, and we would stay here again if we ever return.

Clean, rustic, and peaceful.

My family and I really enjoyed staying at the Placencia Beach House. The location is superb: a big lot, right on the beach - far enough from the town center that it's quiet and feels private. A leisurely fifteen minute stroll along the sidewalk gets you to the shops and restaurants. The nearest supermarket is a five minute walk away. Our rental car sat unused in the driveway for the week simply because we didn't need it. The house was the perfect place to relax, and an excellent backdrop for family bonding. It's very clean, and unfussy; rustic as I said before, but not lacking in any necessary amenities. The property is well cared for. My children (9 and 13) loved the hammocks on the deck. They must have spent hours swinging in them. I enjoyed falling asleep to the murmur of the sea and the breeze in the palms. The beach is great. The water is warm, calm, and swimmable. We were fortunate enough to witness two dolphins playing one morning at sunrise. Last but not least: Joshlin is fantastic! She's kind, welcoming and very knowledgeable. She helped us book tours, gave us directions and recommendations and was helpful and available, while remaining unobtrusive.
