About this property

Oceanfront 3Bd/3Bth Home w/ Blue Skies, Emerald Seas, Warm Winds & Coconut Trees

Welcome to La Isla Bonita! You will not find a more friendly and calming destination as San Pedro Belize and Villa La Jolla is the perfect hub for your island vacation!

Villa La Jolla is two-level mahogany and sandstone villa is located directly on the Caribbean Sea. The custom home has two ground level master suites with private bathrooms, including hand painted double sinks and both bedrooms open out to a covered porch overlooking the beach, palm trees and the Caribbean Sea. There is a 3rd large bedroom upstairs with a full bath just steps away. The large living & dining areas make up most of the 2nd floor, along with a full kitchen. There is a large upper deck with a comfy hammock and seating that overlooks the front yard of your dreams with blue skies, emerald seas, warm winds and coconut trees!

The four villas of Los Encantos spaciously encircle a lovely saltwater pool, with Villa La Jolla (unit #1) on the oceanfront. There are plenty of lounge chairs around the pool, on the beach and around to beautiful landscaped grounds. Choose either sun filled or shaded by a palm frond umbrella or coconut trees (or move to your own quiet corner of paradise).

You are close enough to San Pedro town, but still feels very private. San Pedro town can be accessed by road via golf cart or bike. And, there are great restaurants and bars that are a short distance up or down the beach from Villa La Jolla.

Ambergris Caye, Belize's largest island, is known for its water sports, scuba diving and Caribbean beaches. Within sight of your villa, the Belize Barrier Reef (the world’s 2nd largest) features famed snorkeling and dive sites such as the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, with an abundance of sea life, and the 124m-deep Great Blue Hole.

While Villa La Jolla is on the Caribbean Sea side of the island, it's conveniently located adjacent to the island cross-road that goes to the infamous Secret Beach on the lagoon side of the island. Just a short drive across you'll find several establishments offering lounge chairs, shaded tables in the water, shaded docks, inner-tubes, over water massage, grilled food, cold beer, exotic concoctions & shallow turquoise waters! You can walk about 1/4 mile out from the beach in waist deep turquoise water! It’s a must see.

Villa La Jolla is a very comfortable, welcoming private home, the perfect “home base” for your amazing Ambergris Caye and Belize adventures. It may not be your choice if you seek 'gourmet kitchens' or 1000 thread count bedsheets. However, if you want somewhere you'll feel very welcomed, comfortable and able to live, relax and enjoy everything the island has to offer, then we're your choice. If there is anything you need or would like, our onsite caretaker and our San Pedro management company, Reef Management, will assist immediately. Reef and their terrific staff are a phone call away to arrange tours, golf carts rentals, bike rentals, water taxis, restaurant bookings - anything you wish.

**Exterior Security Camera In Use On Property: Exterior security cameras are in place to monitor ground level exterior door and windows. They are not located within or positioned to view any interior locations or those requiring reasonable expectation of privacy.

We are very grateful for the nice reviews that our guests have sent and you can read these at 'Reviews'. We want you to have as complete a picture as possible of your Belizean vacation spot.

Thank you for your interest in Villa La Jolla at Los Encantos. Please feel free to ask us any questions. We want you to enjoy our home as much as we do!

Spacious and lovely hacienda

We enjoyed staying at this roomy and clean hacienda. Beds were comfy and there was plenty of space to stretch out. We would have preferred having access to the washer/dryer. We also had some leaking in one bathroom and the air conditioning wasn’t working in one bedroom. Wish we could have swam in the sea- we didn’t realize that seaweed would be such an issue in Belize.

Lovely, helpful hosts. Delicious food by Nevia (get the conch ceviche if it's in season!). Perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway with young children. Away from the city noise, which was great for us. We could pop into the city and then head back to our tranquil spot. Forward nearby spots and restaurants. Recommend!

Great Villas, Lousy Roads

The property was absolutely wonderful, and Haly & Neira were terrific! (Probably misspelled their names. Sorry.) were terrific. Very friendly and extremely fast to respond to any questions or issues. Unfortunately, the roads in and out are horrendous. Potholes the size of craters, and a terribly bumpy ride to basically anywhere. Because of the conditions of the road travel to San Pedro and back takes forever. Other than the road, we highly recommend Los Encantos.

Fabulous!!!

This is absolutely the place to stay! Beautiful and charming beachfront property with a massive ocean view. This is probably the best vacation rental we have had through all our travels. Janice and her husband were very accommodating and have provided all the comforts of home at their property. Also they will help you take care of all the travel and excursion details. Just do yourself a favor and listen to all their advice and let them handle all the details. We had a wonderful time and would definitely come back again.

Great location, view and property management services

We had a wonderful time staying at Los Encantos. Janice and Kristie was extremely helpful on the preparation of traveling to San Pedro and as well as planning/providing information on excursions. The house/pool/property were very well maintained which made for a relaxing vacation. The caretakers were so kind and always available to answer questions. Nevia cooked a delicious Belizean dinner for us which I would highly recommend. We have already recommended Los Encantos to our friends and hope to come back sooner than later.

Great Villa and Location!

We stayed at this Villa for 3 nights and it was fantastic! Loved the layout of the villa as it had two large bedrooms downstairs and two very large bathrooms. We did not use the upstairs bedroom but it was definitely a plus for a larger family. Kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary items one may need. LOVED the porch with seating and a hammock! THE POOL was such a welcome sight after a long hot humid day at the beach. The caretakers are so friendly and available for anything that you may need. We would highly recommend this villa!

Wonderful, comfortable and relaxing.

My group of high school friends and I had a wonderful time. We were met on the island by Renaldo, who stopped at grocery stores for us, to get some basics. We were welcomed in the condo by Nevia, who I had arranged a meal with, she made us chicken fajitas, beans, rice and banana bread, all wonderful. Harley keeps the grounds in such wonderful shape. The pool was spectacular, we sure wish the seagrassum hadn't been in the water and on the beach, but mother nature had other ideas. The condo was perfect and Nevia kept it clean, and she and Harley had suggestions of where to go and how to get there. Great snorkel trip with Ali Mermaid Adventures. Thank you so much for a GREAT week in paradise.

Sparkling Clean and Beautiful!

We loved the property and location. The house, grounds and pool were spotless. The property was quiet and peaceful. We spent a fair amount of time on the lounge chairs at the end of the dock; the views were gorgeous. We did not spend time on the beach in front of the property, though. There are prettier beaches and better swimming areas on other parts of the island. The property manager was very communicative. She arranged for our internal flight and transportation to and from the airport, which made traveling easy. She also arranged to have a golf cart waiting at the property when we arrived; you will absolutely need a golf cart to get arond the island. All of her suggestions were fantastic.

Beautiful vacation home in paradise

Our family had a perfect vacation at this beautiful home in paradise. The views, pool, and beach are perfect! Everything is so clean and well cared for. The owners are wonderful with communication and very quick with responses. The property managers are amazing! Nevia and Harly are so friendly and made our stay amazing. Nevia is a wonderful cook, it was delicious so if you get opportunity to have her cook for you we highly recommend it. We went to Secret Beach (15 minute golf cart drive from the home), snorkeling with Clinton from Ali Mermaid - he also organized a day at the mainland for us doing Cave Tubing, zip lining and going to the zoo. My kids are 11, 7, and 5 - he was amazing with them and we all had the best time. The location of the home was great for getting to the wonderful restaurants. Our kids snorkeled off the dock and found beautiful shells and saw pretty fish. The beach was a fun area for the kids to play in the sand. We would definitely recommend this beautiful vacation home and plan to return!!

Immaculate - Spectacular Villa!!!!

Immaculate and spectacular is the most appropriate description of this villa. The ocean views will take your breath away. Coconut trees and a never-ending tropical breeze surround the villa, and the sparkling pool, which we never saw more than two people at (on a rare occasion) will re-set your soul! Sally and Trish astonished us with their responsiveness while we were staying at the villa. One night, the speaker/Ipod dock petered out, and low and behold, there was a brand new one waiting for us the very next day! Their service to us was the epitome of 'above and beyond,' unlike that of which I've ever experienced with other VRBOs. Kayaks, bikes, a within walking distance grocery store - you name it, this villa has it all! I would rent through Sally/Caye Management again in a heart beat. A few other things we enjoyed - a day trip to Caye Caulker, and Cave Tubing/Mayan Ruins adventure. We even invented a game of coconut cornhole in front of the villa, since there is no shortage of fallen coconuts! A truly amazing experience, and unbelievably cool villa. Thanks Sally and Trish - we loved every minute of it.

Unbelizeable Family week.

Our ride was waiting for us when we arrived at the airport. Off to the grocery store and into a boat for a beautiful blue water boat ride to the Villa. Great accommodations for the whole family... all ages. Comfortable and clean. We enjoyed the lovely swimming pool. Right on the Carribean ocean, coconuts from the cocoa palms on the beach. Fresh limes off the tree. They got us connected with snorkeling, fishing, Lamanai Ruins & River Safari, and pick up directly from the end of the dock. Golf cart service delivered to our door. On site Maintenance Raquel & Sergio were very helpful. Raquel cooked us an authentic Belize dinner in our kitchen. Wifi & Sattelite TV. Full Fifa coverage... even found our local CFL home team game. Loved the breeze off the ocean and the relaxing hammock on the deck. Sally was very helpful, Welcoming and responding to all of our email questions in a very timely manner. Between Sally, Caye Management, & the on site maintenace, all of our questions and concerns were looked after. Our party of 6 all want to return to the Villa la Holla at Ambergris Caye.

Los Encantos in North San Pedro exceeded our expectations!

Our 7-day stay at Los Encantos exceeded our expectations. The property was as described and Harly, on-site maintenance works diligently to keep the property pristine. Janice, our on-site contact provided us with so many great suggestions for both activities and places to dine. Nevia, our housekeeper cooked us the most amazing meal complete with key lime pie. Renaldo picked us up upon arrival and dropped us off at departure - a sweet man. I highly recommend a snorkelling excursion with Clinton and his team at Ali Mermaid Adventures.morning beach walks were a great start to the day and watching the sun set from our balcony was breathtaking. This place is magical!
