Beautiful but noisy

This is a beautiful place right on the beach. Unfortunately the noise from the main road is at times loud/ obtrusive. Martin was fantastic at organizing snorkel & dive trips. Paddle boarding/kayaking over to the island amazing as we saw manatee & high leaping dolphins

A True Vacation

My best friend and I took a lady's trip to Belize with hopes of some time in the sun/ on the water with some relaxing between....little did we know how much more we would get. Staying at Casa Beya was dreamy. Access to everything we could have wanted! We used the kayaks/ snorkle gear/ paddle boards, all which worked well. We walked 2-7 minutes to nearby restaurants for our meals/ drinks. Martin even arranged a local chef to make us dinner at the house one evening with some fresh fish that had been caught by a local fisherman. There was heavy rain one afternoon so we watched a movie and played games. The property caretakers, Martin and Diana, were very easy to communicate with and they made sure we have everything we needed throughout the process. I cannot recommend Casa Beya strongly enough.

Paradise

The house was exactly as described and perfect for us. Nothing fancy but had everything we needed. The kayaks and bikes were a huge bonus! It’s a little far from the villlage but we had everything we wanted within walking distance (great restaurants and a small grocery store). Hopefully we can make it back someday and I would choose this house again.

Our first family vacation out of the States

Our trip was awesome. When we arrived we met Martin and his wife who are the caretakers of the property. They helped us navigate the area and even set up a couple of the trips that we took. The house was super easy to find. It was stocked with everything we needed to have a great time. I loved sitting on the water and have my coffee in the morning. We also used the kayaks and paddle boards a few times. While there, we kayaked to island across from house, we booked an all day fishing excursion, we shopped, we snorkeled, and we went on guided trip to the Mayan ruins. I would highly recommend Belize and this rental.

A Wonderful Experience

We stayed in Casa Beya for an extended period (June-July 2021) and my family of four (kids 8 and 11) had a fantastic experience. The house, village, country etc... were all exactly as described. We completely fell in love with everything Placencia and Maya Beach has to offer. We would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to unplug and relax!

Beautiful and convenient

Our stay at Casa Beya was wonderful. The house is very cute and full of artful details. You can see it was built with love. There are good restaurants near the house, and a 10 min car drive to the grocery store. The highlight was the swing bed on the porch and the view of the night sky from the beach, we even saw a falling star. Martin was very helpful arranging for day trips. We would consider coming back to Casa Beya if we return to Belize.

It was, “OK”

Very old building. No air conditioning except for bedrooms, which was fine for sleeping but otherwise, we were quite miserable. No air movement in the house so very hot and muggy. Also, they list that they have a washer, so I brought very little clothes thinking I could wash and rewear, but nope. No washer. The caretakers are pleasant and response to questions or issues, (and I don’t know exactly what their roles are), however, they told us they would take our trash out daily and rake the beach daily and that didn’t happen. Not to mention that you need to throw your used toilet paper in the trash, not the toilet, and little bugs were coming to the trash in the kitchen. And, lots of seaweed would wash up on shore and it stunk. Would also have liked them to sweep the stairs to the decks as well as the decks, on a daily basis, due to sand tracking. There was a small foot bath at the bottom of the stairs, but that wasn’t changed for up to 3 days and it was full of sand and seaweed. Not exactly able to clean our feet in it prior to walking on the decks or in the house. I would NOT recommend this establishment.

Sweet Home in Need of TLC!!

We rented CB as an anniversary getaway. Based upon the photos & description, we planned on spending time swimming & relaxing on the beach & dock. While we did have privacy & there are a lot of positives about the home, many exterior features are in need of repair/maintenance. This may have something to do with the property’s current listing status for sale. There apparently are plans to repair/refurbish things after our stay.(?) The location is great. As others have said, great pizza across the street & delicious dining up the beach at Maya Beach Bistro. Communication was off, as the caretaker (Martin) was unsure of the number in our party upon our arrival, despite our previous notes to property mgr. Martin also neglected to inform us that there was a make-shift ladder for the dock. (There wasn’t one attached per the VRBO photos.) He did apologize for not telling us sooner (than our last day)! On arrival, we were super sad to discover a plastic-laden beach. Martin said a storm had washed it in the day before, but not sure why he hadn’t cleaned it up?! (There was a LOT.) My husband and I are environmentally conscientious, so we cleaned it & continued daily to clear the plastic from both CB’s beach & next door (vacant). AFA other aspects of cleaning, we discovered a petrified avocado in a cupboard (Eww!!) We also found ourselves having to sweep the deck regularly because of the decaying thatched roof. Missing ladder aside, the dock flooring itself is in need of replacement. Half of the beach/dock furniture was broken & in need of repair. The interior of the house is cute & colorful as pictured. Well stocked kitchen. Bed is just ok, but sleeps well after rum punch, no worries! Pillows should be replaced. BUT, the view from the master is awesome. Truly wonderful to wake up to each morning! Having the large water dispenser is also a nice touch. Wish there would’ve been working bikes. (A slight inquiry was made by Martin on our arrival of our intention to ride, but it seemed it was going to take some repair for them to be available to us, so we let it go.) Blessings bakery/sweet rolls & Marina’s fruit stand in Seine Bight are fab. All in all, a lovely location, a sweet house with incredible views, yet a potential that is [currently] left unfulfilled. We would love to return with our kids if the house was a bit better maintained & some effort (outside our own) was made to remove the plastic from the beach each day!

It was nice.

House is a work of art but needs some TLC. Having direct access to the beach was a big plus. Being on the peninsula though means you’re also on the main road which is loud. The bowling alley across the street is loud as well with patrons. There is no generator so when the electricity goes off you not only lose that but also water. We still enjoyed ourselves with activities and restaurants near the house and in the village.

Everything was great, but….

The house is as described. It is unique, clean and has a beautiful beach. The sargassum came in and wrecked a few days for us, it was smelly and piled up on the beach. The beauty part of that is the pier, which has a ladder out far enough to get past the weeds. Martin and Diana were great, they checked with us every day and were very attentive to our needs. The but….the property is for sale. We had 6 different appointments that the people only showed up twice. This was quite inconvenient, we had to make sure everything was put away and presentable (we are on vacay, sometimes that doesn’t happen), then they didn’t show. We sometimes left and sometimes we’re on the beach waiting for them to come and go. To me this is unacceptable and we will make sure future properties are not for sale prior to renting.

Casa Beya was an absolutely perfect place for my family (two teenager boys and parents).

About the host

Hosted by Jimena

Host profile image
Hi! We’re Jimena and Heath, and we’re so excited to welcome you to Casa Beya. Our love story with Belize started long before we became vacation rental hosts—we got married here in 2019! But it was in March 2024, during a one-week spring break trip, that we stumbled upon this incredible beachfront home and instantly knew it had to be part of our family’s story.

We live in Portland, Oregon, with our three children, where the weather tends to be rainy, so escaping to the sun, sand, and sea of Placencia is always a dream. Since purchasing Casa Beya, we’ve poured our hearts into updating and remodeling it to create a perfect oasis for family, friends, and now, for you!

For us, hosting is all about sharing the magic of this place—the peaceful ocean breeze, the stunning views, and the joy of walking right out onto the dock to feel the sea beneath your feet. We love helping guests create unforgettable memories here, whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both.

We hope you love Casa Beya as much as we do and feel right at home. If there’s anything we can do to make your stay extra special, just let us know!

Welcome to paradise!
Jimena & Heath

Why they chose this property

When we discovered Casa Beya, we knew right away that its location in Maya Beach was something truly special. Not only is it oceanfront with breathtaking views, but it also has the only private pier in the area—making it the only vacation rental in Maya Beach with its very own dock. There’s nothing quite like stepping outside, walking down the pier, and feeling the sea breeze wash over you.

Beyond the incredible beachfront setting, we love how walkable this area is. You’re just steps away from three fantastic restaurants and right across the street from a fun local bowling alley. Whether you’re in the mood for a delicious meal or a little entertainment, everything is within easy reach. This makes it especially convenient if you’d rather not rent a car—everything you need for a perfect getaway is right here.

For us, it’s all about the perfect mix of relaxation, beauty, and accessibility. The stunning beach, prime location, and unique amenities make this a one-of-a-kind spot, and we’re so happy to share it with our guests!

What makes this property unique

Casa Beya isn’t just a beachfront rental—it’s an experience. Nestled in the heart of Maya Beach, this one-of-a-kind home is the only vacation rental in the area with its own private dock. Whether you want to bask in the sun, lounge in the shade, or stargaze over the water at night, the dock is yours to enjoy.

Beyond the dock, Casa Beya is designed for pure relaxation and adventure. You’ll find plenty of cozy spots to unwind—sway in a hammock, stretch out on the swing bed, sip coffee on the wraparound porch, or take in the ocean views from the observation deck. And when you’re ready for fun, grab a kayak or one of our many water toys and explore the stunning coastline right from the beach!

The location couldn’t be better—steps from three fantastic restaurants and right across the street from a bowling alley; everything you need is within walking distance.

And of course, no stay at Casa Beya would be complete without meeting Martin & Diana, our incredible on-site caretakers. They keep everything running smoothly and are always happy to help, ensuring you feel right at home.

Casa Beya is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to make unforgettable memories. We invite you to experience this little slice of paradise for yourself!
