About this property

3 Story Oceanfront Luxury Villa 5 Bedroom w/ Pool

Welcome to Villa Jammin' Gecko, an exquisite oceanfront estate nestled among tropical trees and vibrant gardens in the heart of Maya Beach, Placencia. Villa Jammin’ Gecko is a 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom custom-built vacation home occupying a stretch of sandy shore along the calm Caribbean Sea.

Leave all your cares behind because from the moment you enter the gates of this meticulously manicured property you will be engulfed in an aura of tranquility and luxury. Entering the villa, you will step into a spacious foyer with soaring ceilings and an eye-catching staircase. Tastefully decorated with pieces of local art and custom-built Belizean hardwood furniture, this home strikes the right balance between homey and haute.
Proceeding from the foyer you’ll find the first three private bedrooms located on the ground level. Each of the large bedrooms are well furnished with custom local furniture, high quality linens, a flat screen TV and accompanied by its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring the utmost privacy and comfort for each guest. The first floor also boasts a large game room overlooking the ocean, complete with a wet bar, pool table and large flat screen TV. This area serves as the perfect space for entertainment as a sliding glass door seamlessly connects you to the large, covered patio, your private pool, and a cozy thatched palapa.
Inspired by the easy and breezy outdoor living habits of the tropics, the palapa is designed to be your open-air common area. Equipped with comfortable seating and hammocks, it is the ideal spot to relax and unwind. Stretch out on a lounge chair and bask on the sundeck or splash into the pool for a game of volleyball. The beach is your backyard! Enjoy the peace and solitude of your private oasis which will seem to stretch across the tepid and tranquil water all the way to the horizon.
Back indoors, ascend the grand spiral staircase to the second floor, where you’ll enter the heart of the villa - a large open kitchen, dining and living area with a generous covered patio overlooking the pool and beach. This amazingly well-appointed space is where your group will gather most of the time when you’re not outdoors. Natural light fills this space through clear glass windows, and the decor is a harmonious blend of modern beach elegance and local charm. The living area is furnished with comfortable, contemporary sofas and chairs centered around a stylish, hand carved coffee table made from local Belizean wood. The dining area features a beautiful hand-carved wood table with seating for ten, where you can enjoy gourmet meals made by your own private chef.
Adjacent to the dining area, you’ll find the large, fully equipped, gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, granite countertops, and an island breakfast bar. Just off the dining area is yet another open-air patio and outdoor dining area. The patio houses a stainless-steel gas grill and boasts amazing views of the Maya Mountains and magical sunsets.
Also on this level is a sizeable junior suite, with its own private covered patio overlooking the pool and ocean. The room is furnished with local handmade furniture and décor, high-quality linens and flat screen TV. With the attached ensuite bath, this suite is perfect for a couple wanting more privacy.
Ascend to the top floor, where you’ll discover the grand primary suite. This room epitomizes luxury and comfort with a king-size bed, locally designed custom furniture, resort-quality linens, and a flat-screen TV. The en-suite bath is a true indulgence, featuring an oversized jetted tub and a walk-in shower with an amazing view of the beach and ocean. Expansive patios on this level offer sweeping views of the ocean, lagoon, and mountains, completing this lavish suite.

Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye/San Pedro. Being inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!

The vacation of a lifetime!

From the moment we walked through the door to the sad moment we left we had the most amazing time. Everyone involved with our stay was fantastic. Our private chef Miguel was top notch. He was extremely accommodating to our special requests and was a pleasure to speak with. Anything we needed while we were there was taken care of swiftly and with the utmost care. Mabel and her sister were both so sweet to us and helped us fulfill our dream vacation plans. Every year we stay somewhere different but this time around we found our vacation home. We can't wait to come back to this beautiful home and terrific people to spend another fun filled week of paradise.

An UnBelizeable Vacation!!

We had such an amazing week at the beginning of February in Placencia at Jammin Gecko! The house was clean and wonderfully arranged for two families traveling together (4 adults and 7 kids ages 6-16). We loved the pool, proximity to the beach, all the amenities, and everyone had a place to retreat to if they needed some rest/quiet. Words can’t convey how amazing Miguel our chef was and it is definitely worth paying for the chef service daily as that was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was amazing and he was so kind. Brenda and Sonya kept our house spotless and the daily laundry service was absolutely wonderful. Erica Was extremely responsive to any needs or questions we had. The only downside was the road noise especially in the mornings, since the house is a little close to the road, but overall this was minor. We loved taking the kids in the golf cart to the local market, which was only five minutes away to get a daily ice cream or soda. It was a wonderful vacation that exceeded all of our expectations!

Great house Great Location.

We spent 8 days with our entire family. This home was the perfect setup. Top floor master suite was great the bed was just right for us. Second floor kitchen and 1 bed room was perfect for our daughter and grandson. Main floor was great for our son and his wife. Plenty of space for everyone. Pool was the place to be all week. Beautiful sunrises every day. We were able to see rays several varieties of fish and crabs. Even seen a pod of dolphin and a few manatees off the neighboring peir. Overall a nice place to stay.

A great multigenerational family house

We had a wonderful 2 weeks staying at the Jammin Gecko villa. We were a family of 10 ranging in age from 21 months to 70 years. One of the reasons we picked Jammin Gecko was that the bedrooms were on different levels. We, the grandparents, enjoyed the great top floor suite and considered it our quiet zone. The middle floor with one bedroom was nice for our childless couple and the lower level with 3 bedrooms was for our daughter’s family with the 4 children. The other reason we liked Jammin Gecko was the pool. We made very good use of it! We had lots of family time but could spread out and find quiet places when we wanted them. We were able to snorkel from the beach, kayak, and fish from the shared pier. The location allowed us to go to the zoo on our way from Belize City. We also toured the Mayan ruins, took a catamaran cruise, went diving and snorkeling, and took 2 great sunset cruises. Mabel and Mindy kept the house spotlessly clean and our laundry done which is a lot of work with small children! Orlando cooked for us 7 days which was a wonderful treat until I got on the scales after returning home😬. The pool and the beach were well maintained and always clean. I felt like the only negative was that the furniture was not particularly comfortable especially in the main living area. A house this size needs a living area that is big enough for everyone to gather in if they choose to. I would however still recommend this house. Hopefully we’ll be back again.

Family Fun

This was a wonderful location to gather as a family and spread out. Plenty of room, amenities, comfortable and having Manuel as our personal cook was the highlight of our trip. Every staff member was accommodating, friendly, helpful and very nice. The house and grounds were kept daily, so our return back from excursions felt so fresh and enjoyable. This is a very nice location, the beach, pier and private pool offer views that are just beautiful. We also had golf cart transportation which allowed us to explore more of the community. We felt safe and people we encountered were friendly and spoke English so we did not have a language barrier. Looking forward to another visit in the future. Thank you for the care and attention provided.

Jammin Gecko Villa was absolutely beautiful! The ocean view is amazing! The staff were so sweet, friendly and helpful! Mabel was very welcoming and always there if we needed something! Erica answered all of our questions about excursions and helped us with the booking process! Jorge was outside every single morning helping keep the pool and the beach clean. Manuel, our chef, cooked the most delicious meals! The ingredients were fresh! He went to the store the morning before every meal day. The staff truly went above and beyond ! I can’t wait to book here again! Thank you all for the wonderful hospitality and experience!

It is the cleanest home we’ve ever stayed at and the food was excellent

We can’t explain in words what an amazing experience we’ve had while in Belize staying at Jammin’ Gecko. The staff (Mindy, Manuel, and house maintenance crew) were OUTSTANDING, so friendly, and beyond helpful. It is the cleanest home we’ve ever stayed at and the food was excellent. We hope we can come back soon. Along with everyone else, Erica (our concierge), went above and beyond.

Never disappoints

This was our third stay at Jammin' Gecko and it has always exceeded our expectations. This was the first time that we booked Chef Domingo for our entire stay and it was more than worth it. Excellent food and much less expensive than going out to eat. He was always very flexible in accommodating our meal times based on the activities we had scheduled. Top notch staff and very friendly.

Fantastic Family Villa

It was very easy and efficient to rent the Jammin Gecko Villa for our family of 6 adults and 5 children. The villa was very clean and well appointed with nice furnishings and a very functional layout. Beds were comfortable with modern bathrooms adjacent to the bedroom. Housekeeping kept the inside and pool and outside areas very clean and tidy. Very abundant supply of beach towels and bath towels. Our chef Manuel was excellent with tasty meals and a variety of entrees. Seaside location and private pool with toys made play time for the children great. The bar downstairs provided an excellent place for wine and rum tastings. This is the PERFECT family villa!!

Birthday Trip

The Jammin Gecko was amazing! I celebrated my 50th birthday with family and friends. Mabel and Manuel were fantastic. I highly recommend you ask for Manuel as your personal chef. He is perfection. Mabel cleans the house and washes clothes daily. You will never want to leave. However, watch out for excursions some of them are scams and their credit card machines NEVER work, conveniently.

UnBELIZEable

We recently stayed with 10 people ( 4 kids ages 7-10, and 6 adults). The property was immaculate. The staff was helpful, assessable, and super hospitable. We elected to have Domingo cook for the full week, and every meal was on time, nutritious and delicious ( definitely worth the extra days to have worry free meals, and given the distance of other restaurants for a party that size without a rental van). The portal was helpful in deciding which excursions we wanted to try. Transportation was arranged, and timely. The pool was a hit for the kiddos ( and adults). Again, the staff and management of the property was wonderful. We would highly recommend, and would love to return for another trip. Our only recommendations are to confirm quantity of groceries on the portal to stock the house ahead of time. For example, it says "coffee" with a quantity to pick. It wasn't clear if that was pounds, bags, K-cups,. This recommendation is relevant for all quantities of items being ordered through the portal. Another recommendation is for installation of towel hooks out by the pool/pool house, and within the rooms. Lot's of wet towels with a group that size. Also be prepared with cash to pay for all groceries, and overshoot how much you will need, as we were not as prepared and needed to make a trip into town for the ATM's. Highly recommend the snorkeling and Laughing Bird Caye, it was beyond our expectations, the staff was very knowledgeable and kid friendly. We also did Monkey River, which BE OVERLY prepared for bugs. We following the instructions with long loose clothing, hats, and DEET spray, and it was no match for the jungle mosquitos. The manatee stop on the way back was a fan favorite from our group. We loved this property and loved our travel to Belize!

Perfect house for a friends getaway

From the booking process through checkout, we kept thinking this was too good to be true, but it was all real! The staff was incredible and was able to offer as much or as little help as we wanted at every step of planning our trip. The house is beautiful, well designed for both privacy and group gatherings and meticulously maintained. The owners have thought of everything--from the pool table to the wine cooler by the pool to the house cell phone for making local calls. They missed no detail in offering the guest a smooth and relaxing experience. Our trip was wonderful!

great experience

We loved our stay. We loved not having an "all inclusive." The pool was completely ours, the property has a wonderful private beach, kayaks, etc. We debated on whether we should have the chef cooks for us. So glad we did. Grocery store shopping in Belize is not what we are used to. We did go out to dinner several times, but just eating at home was so much easier and relaxing. It tasted great, so convenient, and clean. The staff was wonderful. We also had a great scuba diving tour with Sunnyside Tours.

It Couldn't Have Been Better!

Another vacation is in the books for the 10 of us (5 couples)...ages 56 to 73...from Michigan and Wisconsin. This property fit us perfectly from the 5 ensuite bedrooms, to the large kitchen for cooking / dining, to the well maintained pool that leads right out to the sea. The house was spotless. The cleaning staff was attentive, friendly and our beds / baths attended to daily. Our laundry was done for us every day. We hired a chef for 3 days who arrived at our chosen time to make breakfast, came back to prepare lunch, and came back again to prepare supper. All the meals and desserts were top notch. They set the table, prepared the meals, and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. The property came with a golf cart and we rented another golf cart to meet our needs. With at least 25 years of annual vacations under our belts, this one was by far one of the nicest. To have the laundry done, the meals prepared, and a lot of other details attended to made our trip that much more relaxing. None of us would hesitate to come back to be pampered and spoiled at least one more week. Regards, Marty, Tracy, Frank, Laurie, Gary, Connie, Dennis, Lucy, Bill & Linda

2020 Oakland family vacation, 1/8-18

We enjoyed our stay at Jammin Gecko. This was a fantastic beautiful house for our family of 13. Loved having our own pool and beach. Enjoyed swimming everyday in the pool. playing volleyball and pool, and kayaking. Geri and Mabel were very accommodating and helpful. I must say it was a disappointment that Domingo was not able to fix our Lobster dinner, but the Cochinita Pibil Soft tacos for lunch were amazing! Unfortunately we were not able to do all of the excursions we wanted to due it raining everyday, but did have a great time swimming at the waterfall and the snorkeling trip was awesome too! The golf carts worked great for our trips to the village of Placencia and the nearest grocery store. It was a very nice much needed relaxing vacation! Thanks Jammin Gecko!!

About the host

Hosted by Gecko Vacation Rentals

Host profile image
Property designed, built and managed by Texas couple that have been visiting and building in Placencia since 2001.

On site staff are a very friendly young couple that speak great English and make you feel at home. They are extremely professional, trust worthy and guests can arrange for wife to baby sit, if they want to leave smaller children to go diving or enjoy a great meal out.

Why they chose this property

Jammin' Gecko is located in heart of some of the best saltwater fly fishing in the world as well as world class diving and snorkeling on the 2nd largest coral reef system in the world. The now fully paved 26 mile Placencia road makes getting on and off the peninsula by car a much more enjoyable and faster experience, thus making access to the rain forest, Mayan ruins, cave tubing and other attractions in the jungle easily accessible.

Being the 6th home we have constructed, Jammin' Gecko will have all the amenities a family or group of friends could want in their vacation rental.
High end finish out with use of local hard woods, all natural stone flooring and attention to detail inside and out. Third floor master suite provides the ultimate in privacy and amazing views of both the ocean and the mountains. While the home has high end efficient and quite air-conditioning it was designed to open the windows and doors to take advantage of the cool ocean breeze.
