Beautiful property

This home and property are beautiful. However, the house requires some minor repairs (some sliders damaged, screen on the main slider torn, TV remote didn’t work). We were disappointed that there was no beach to walk and the water was murky and had lots of sea grass so not suitable for snorkeling. 4 adults had to space their showers or run out of water. The village of Hopkins has some good beach bars, but the best restaurants are in the resorts. The Hamanasi Resort is close and is excellent. The Coconut Husk in the village is also a fun restaurant as is the restaurant nearby in Beeches and Dreams. The property manager, Darwin, is a super guy and also a good local guide. He took us floating in St. Herman’s Cave and swimming in the Blue Hole. Tap into his local knowledge! The Hopkins area is interesting but fairly remote. If not staying in a resort we found diving and snorkeling opportunities limited.

A beautiful peaceful location!

We stayed with 3 adults and 3 kids and we had more than enough room. The location and setting of the house are just perfect! Gorgeous views of the water and incredibly easy access to swimming in the pool and sea. Hopkins is a great little village and there were plenty of options for restaurants.

Amazing house!

We had a great stay! Loved the pool, dock, and little beach. My kids learned how to open the coconuts and had a blast doing that every day. Darwin was a great resource, such a fun and interesting person to talk to and was available when we needed him. House is clean and so much space. Thank you for opening your home to us. We made such amazing memories!!

Perfect Family Getaway

We had the best family vacation in Hopkins, Belize. This house is beautifully appointed with plenty of space for everyone (5 of us total) to spread out and relax, including a well-equipped kitchen. It felt like a home away from home. The moment you walk out to the breathtaking backyard space, and continue all the way to the large covered dock over the waters, you know you've arrived in paradise. The only thing I would suggest is to add lights to the dock thatched roof, it was too dark at night to use. Sue and Darwin were super helpful and very easy to communicate with for any questions we had. We really enjoyed the two tours we did, ATV through the jungle and Cook your Catch with tour company GTKBA (Get to Know Belize Adventures). Hopkins is the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and this beachfront house is a true gem.

Beautiful location, spacious home

We had a great week! The dock was perfect. The water was warm and easy to swim in. The place was cool and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We also loved the little private pool. Stann Creek is lovely. There are lots of nice places to eat and grocery stores nearby. It is not super touristy which is what we were looking for.

About the host

Hosted by Sue

We started vacationing in Belize 15 years ago and fell in love with the culture and beauty of Hopkins and Sittee River Villages, and the lusciousness of the Caribbean Sea. We bought a lot and built our dream beach home! We come to Belize from the central US every winter - you will notice the house is booked for us in January, February and part of March. We still love it there and hope your experience is also as amazing! We found the perfect local property manager and just recently started renting it out with his assistance. Our goal is to make your vacation in this beautiful tropical destination perfect, with every convenience of being at home built in!
