Each owner suite includes a large private bathroom, balcony and huge walk in showers.

Family Vacation
The property was perfect! We saw manatees right off the dock and could paddle board and swim right off the beach.

Amazing Vacation
The home was absolutely beautiful and its amenities allowed our entire family (age range 75 to 7) to be included and enjoy the vacation. The dock was the perfect spot to watch the manatees play in the water, the kids loved the beach and pool and we played games on the veranda every evening while chef Domingo cooked amazing meals. Overall a wonderful place to unwind and relax!

Best House Rental in Placencia! Everything you could want or hope for.
Bob was great to work with in helping to plan a wonderful trip for our family. We had 7 from our family and everyone loved the house. The chef cooking for us 2 days was the most luxurious part. He served us and did the dishes. We felt so pampered. House pool was cleaned daily. dock was cool and breezy in the hot afternoon sun. Kayaks were fun.

Family Fun in Belize
My husband and I along with our 3 adult daughters and their families including 4 children ages 6 months to 8 years stayed for a week. It was perfect…the most relaxing vacation I have ever experienced! The staff saw to our every need. Manuel cooked us fabulous meals for 3 days of our stay and everyone else saw to it that everything was just right. The kids were so happy with the pool, dock, paddle boards, kayaks, etc. We did a couple of excursions with Captain Jak’s and they were excellent! I highly recommend the Tipsky Gecko and hope to come back some day.

10 Adults yearly trip
this is the 3rd stay with Gecko properties and have found them to be very well kept properties. The on site hosts have made sure our stay was wonderful. Ma Bell and her staff always made our stay feel special with daily maid service and 3 days of having a great chef (Domingo) taking care of all our meal needs. He does a great job of accommodating all our needs and pre-making lunch snacks in place of a full meal. The places we have stayed are exceptionally clean when we arrive and stay that way with the staff doing daily upkeep on the house. Thanks again for another wonderful vacation and have already recommended your properties to friends who have asked about our vacations.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Hubberts

Host profile image
We love our home because it easily can accommodate a big group and allows you to just sit and relax; swimming in the private pool or in the sea, relaxing on the pier, floating in the sea, or sitting out on the upstairs balcony or covered patio. We also love all the activities in the area and enjoy using the kayaks and other water sports equipment available at the house to enjoy the sea or the lagoon.

Home was designed with two owner suites upstairs, a full large walk around bar and entertainment area and covered outside balcony. Specifically designed so multiple families with kids can spread out and enjoy their stay in a private beach setting and enjoy all Belize has to offer.

Why they chose this property

Home 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 fully paved 26 mile Placencia road makes getting on and off the peninsula by car a fast and easy experience, thus making access to the rain forest, Mayan ruins, cave tubing and other attractions in the jungle easily accessible.

What makes this property unique

Large private home and beach can comfortably accommodate up to five couples. Was designed to accommodate two large families with children. With two large owners bedroom suites upstairs other two bedrooms both with private baths on first floor. The fifth bedroom upstairs can sleep 3 in a twin over full bunk bed.
Daily maid service, and guest clothes laundry service provided with rental.
