Best stay in the area!

Such a delight! We are on a mission trip with lots of tools in our vehicle. The gated parking is what drew our attention. Our Hosts were wonderful, and we felt like family from the start. Walking into town was a treat.

Beautiful location

Julie and Gary are amazing hosts. Great hospitality, lots of information and help with the local venues. Looking over the river and the deck area was great for watching birds. We would definitely like to return when we get back to Belize.

Quaint vacation rental with lovely owners

Our stay (husband and I) overall was a great one. The best part was the owners - Julie was such a joy to chat with and always eager to be helpful and friendly. The location was very close to many restaurants, supermarkets - very central to Santa Elena and San Ignacio both. We felt extremely safe while staying at this property the entire time. The vacation rental is a bit dated but it suited our needs just fine other than the bed. The only reason I give the rental 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bed mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable and made it difficult for us to get some quality sleep. Overall would recommend the property, though, and would return if the sleeping situation were improved!

About the host

Hosted by Julie and Gary MacRae (011) 501-608-9988 (011 1st if calling from North America)

We are a semi retired couple from Canada who love to share our beautiful little piece of paradise in this gorgeous country.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the spectacular view from our patio and think you will too. And the location can't be beat!!

What makes this property unique

We are right above the Macal River!! And only a 10 minute walk to the market and downtown San Ignacio, but still in a private, secure compound back away from the street noise.
