The staff was wonderful. Karen cooked us a few meals that were great. Luis is very attentive to whatever we needed. If you’re looking for a place to sleep and the departing for the day, this place is it. Beach access is available but there is sea grass in the water. It’s seasonal thing. Overall, we liked where we stayed, the help from Karen and Luis, and the island vibe feel.

It was a mess becuase they cook for you and the dishes were left for two days without being cleaned. The kitchen cabinets are a mess. AS well as the fridge with rotten veggies inside. The property is missing the dock in the photo so dont worry about that being there. The people who cook for you Karen and her brother Luis live downstairs. So you have extra people there. They didn't provide the check in Champagne as noted. It's not as clean and pretty as the photo make it out to be inside the hosue it needs an update. Mosquitoes are in the bathroom be read. Feed their dog hes so hungry looking. Enjoy the extra walks on the beach.On day thursday we were told that we had access to a poll down the road at a resort with only two days left. Finally, if you stay here and get a golf cart, be sure to fill it up; they don't do it for you. You are off the paved road at a certain point and if gets muddy with rain.Getting to the airport on the last day we said we need to leave by 745. He was knockin gon the door at 715 and we weren't even ready to go yet.

Expectations Met

I suggest reading reviews so you know what to expect. As others have mentioned, Alan and Dorita were great but don't expect 3 or 4 course dinners. Enjoyed the tour of Mayan Ruins and cave tubing tour which was super convenient as picked up at house (4:30 AM ) and dropped off at night. It would have been helpful to have ice cube trays for the freezer, but bags of ice available to purchase at store. There was no stocked pantry, but you will not go hungry. Water cooler was great so we didn't need to buy bottled water.

Belize getaway

The facility was very comfortable and it was made even more enjoyable by Alan and his wife Dorita who did the fabulous cooking. The location was bout 30 minutes drive by golf cart from the airport with part of the road paved and part not with many potholes. It was quite and relaxing. We took a trip to Abergris Key about 30 years ago and had fond memories of how downtown San Pedro was small and quaint but tourism has hit the island and our new memories are not nearly as fond as the first. Bumper to bumper golf carts with less than optimal roads did not make travel pleasurable.

We were spoiled!

Dorita really spoiled us by cooking for us:) Alan picked us up from the water taxi and dropped us off at the airport when we left. The golf cart was all we needed for transportation around the island. The house is not huge, but we spent most of our time outside on the deck or on the beach when we were there. We used the tandem kayaks a couple of times.

Beautiful beach getaway with awesome property caretakers!

The house was pretty much as described. The staff that lives onsite, Alan and Dorita, are INCREDIBLY helpful, kind, and they cooked DELICIOUS meals. They were very accommodating. I didn’t know until we got there that they stayed on site, but they quickly became friends with us and we enjoyed their company. It was really nice to have local guides as resources. We also did the Mayan ruins and cave tubing and it was totally worth it. We stayed for 6 days and it was GREAT! Would definitely stay again, but only if Alan and Dorita are the caretakers/chef.

Excellent hosts/beautiful grounds

We had a great time. Alan and Dorita were great hosts. The food was amazing. The house isn't as nice as it is in pictures but you need to keep in mind it's Belize. There is no pool access but we did not miss it. Beach time was good. We had issues with the golfcarts but Alan was very good about providing a different one to use. I know others who have been to San Pedro and they also have had issues with golf carts. There was only one kayak, the other one had missing parts so we used as a paddle board. Even though things didn't always go as planned. It was a great time. I would totally recommend this place. Just keep in mind it's more rustic than it looks online.

Their kids are fantastic with helping, answering questions, and played with our kids. The food Dorrita made was amazing! Alan will do anything to make your vacation awesome; he even knocked down fresh coconuts for us and cut them so we could drink fresh coconut water. They begin to feel like an extension of your family and they are what makes this VRBO what it is! Thank you guys!

Great Location and Hosts!

We had 9 total. Two families with 4 adults and 5 kids ages 12-17. Alan and Dorita made sure we were taken care of. We didn't have any meal request and just told Dorita to surprise us. We loved every meal and no complaints from the kids either. The house was clean and well kept. Great location with about an equal drive to Town or Secret Beach. We went to Secret Beach 3 times and we enjoyed the Waterpark area the best. Jose' made sure the beach was cleaned up each day and prepared a beach campfire for us a couple of nights. He also took us out snorkeling to a couple nearby spots and around the docks. Space was limited inside with 9 of us but we had great weather and spent most of our time at the beach. There is a great little convenient/wine store called the Winey Gringa that we went to for ice/drinks/snacks as well as a couple restaurants about a 1/2 mile North. We had a great time and I highly recommend staying here!

Great caretakers at this property!

The best part of this property was the caretakers- A sweet family that’s willing to serve you and make delicious food for your meals. The beach view was beautiful, though unfortunately most of the beach on this side of the island has quite a bit of trash. The hosts were willing to rake up the seaweed each morning for us, which definitely was appreciated. The house itself was fine, good water, pressure with hot water and no major issues. The two main bedrooms share a bathroom and then there’s an additional space with bunkbeds that has a toilet and a shower, but no privacy door to them. This location is just a short golf cart ride north of town as well as a short ride across the island to secret beach. We appreciated the caretaker, helping us, arrange some tours with the local guide, as well as helping us with our luggage at arrival and departure.

True vacation for all!

My parents, cousins and daughter stayed with Allen and Dorita for 7 days in March. We had such an amazing experience that was made possible by Allen and his family! The house is modest and comfortable with air conditioning in every room. My favorite touch was sink and mirror in every room. My dad really enjoyed his time but mentioned the showers could have been hotter. With 6 people showering around the same time it’s understandable that the hot water ran out quickly. The food was delicious and really a treat for my mom and I who typically cook for the family. This made our vacation so much more enjoyable. My 3 year old daughter loved playing with the kids, outside running around and tending to the puppies. She loved the free spirit and the outdoors. My cousins also shared how the stay was magical all because of you, Allen and Dorita. Thank you so much for all of your wisdom and how caring you are for the property, your country and the guest you welcome. There is no pool on site. We were instructed to visit a near by property that has a pool open to the public. It was beautiful and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable/ welcoming. We bought drinks and pizza. So not “included” in the stay. Mr. Hill, the tour guide came to set us up the day after we arrived and was able to offer us trips that we all could participate in. Ages 3-76. It was nice that all the excursions left from the property. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it.

Unbeliezable Vacation!

The four of us - 2 adults and 2 older teens - had a fantastic week in Belize here! Property was great. Very clean and comfortable. We loved the location - outside of town, but a short jaunt to get there. And also close to Secret Beach - which is an absolute must do. We booked excursions through Mr. Hill - snorkeling, fishing, Mayan ruins, cave tubing, and the ATM cave. They were all flawless and excellent. He picked us up and dropped us off right at the house every time. The food was awesome! Dorita is a fantastic cook and came in and prepared meals on our schedule. We literally only went out to a restaurant once the whole week - and that was because the all-day snorkeling tour dropped us off to a restaurant for lunch. We really, really liked the food. Alan was super helpful and always available when we needed anything - like launching the kayaks or resetting the modem or building us a bonfire at the beach complete with beach chairs surrounding it. He also put in a lot of hard work clearing the seaweed from the beach. My entire family really enjoyed the island and getting to know Alan and Dorita. We're looking forward to booking a return trip.

Girls Getaway

4 childhood friends meet up to celebrate 50 trips around the sun. This was our first trip to Belize and we were not disappointed. Alan met us at the airport with the golf cart and led us back to the house. On our arrival the beach was pristine white sand, despite the daily influx of Sargassum. After a long day, we were greeted by an amazing chicken curry that Dorita had waiting for us. Dorita and Alan are gems, providing amazing meals, recommendations and company. As four traveling mom’s we were pampered with the home cooked meals and NO dishes. One evening Alan treated us to fresh coconuts from the yard. We loved getting to meet their children and family dogs Conch and Laila. We did two excursions with No Worries. One was full day snorkel trip where we swam with sharks , saw a manatee and snorkeled the Hol Chan reef. We were picked up and dropped off from the dock a short beach walk from the home. For the second we went to Lamainai Mayan ruins and it was planned from pick up to drop off, including transfers and excellent guides. Secret Bach was our favorite spot where we spent 3 days hanging out in the crystal clear turquoise water. The house is perfectly situation half way between San Pedro town and secret beach. I read the negative reviews and cannot understand what the others were complaining about. I hope that I can return soon with my family and if I do, we will stay at Harmony House again.

Amazing family time! We arrived to a delicious meal ready and waiting for us. The property is as stated with and the hospitality is wonderful. We are surprised by reading a prior guest review because the beach is beautiful and sunrise is breathtaking - I guess its about who you are with. We kayaked in front of the beach house and went snorkeling to Hol Chan Marine Reserve nearby. Secret beach is also highly recommended. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will be back soon.

Nothing like the pictures. Bad time with all the sargassum washed up on the beach. We did not have access to the beach from the house. The smell was really bad. The house was very outdated and nothing like the pictures. Karen was great and fed us delicious meals each day. That was the best part of it all.

Don’t go in June , or just don’t go

The house overall needs a refresh. Air conditioner probably needs to be replaced, it never got cold. We got 2 brown towels for the week and that was it. The pictures they post had all sorts of fluffy towels in baskets etc. we couldn’t go anywhere at first because they said the golf cart was being repaired. And when they finally offered us a cart it was the “cooks” personal car, and they wanted to charge us the higher price to take it. Had to go to secret beach to enjoy the water because it looks like they haven’t shoveled sargassum for 3 years. It was stinky too inside and out. Private chef, well let’s say cook, was ok. Thank god we booked a fishing trip to actually eat fish that we asked for. We got spaghetti one night. Garbage all along driveway going in to property and out. We won’t be back no photos to post sorry Jerry, you need to work on the house and property

Bad timing, Good experience

First off, Dorita and Alan (the resident chef and facilitator) were the best part of the stay and deserve all the credit for making our trip as fun as it was. All the meals Dorita cooked for us were delicious and generous. Alan provided answers to all of our questions, greased the wheels for our excursion bookings and managed our early arrival even when the local airline (Tropic Air) pushed us 2 hours earlier than expected. They were great and if that's all I had to review it would be 5 stars. However...The place itself was kind of a dump which is not reflected in the pictures or description. Shower heads were rusty and one popped off, which I fixed. One wall leaked pretty badly during a hard rain and the overall vibe was such that I was SUPER happy my SIL didn't make the trip as planned because she's a little bougie and would have bolted after about 5 minutes for a resort. The worst part of the house stay was just bad luck. The house is situated right smack on the beach and our plan was just to hang there and enjoy the property. Except there was 50 yards of rotting sea grass making the place smell so bad it was almost impossible to be outside at all and certainly impossible to get in the water. This was a problem on the entire windward side of the island and its semi-unpredictable so I can't really hold it against the place but a heads up that this might have been an issue at the time we booked would've been very helpful to level-set expectations.
