About this property

Welcome to our private Caribbean paradise! Wake up to the sound of waves lapping at the shore and parrots chattering in the trees. Sip coffee on the veranda as you watch the sun rise brilliantly over the sea while keeping an eye out for dolphins and manatees. After a leisurely breakfast, make your way to your own private beachfront and float in our shallow and generally calm warm waters. After tiring of the sand, grab a kayak and explore the Sittee River and Anderson Lagoon via the canal in the back of our property. An early morning paddle provides amazing bird watching opportunities.

After building this home five years ago, we’ve decided to share this wonderful house with others. The large cathedral ceilings and spiral staircase to the open loft present the perfect feng shui. The living area blends into the large kitchen which is the ideal space for cooking and entertaining friends and family. The house sleeps 6-8 comfortably, with two bedrooms, two full baths, private sleeping loft, and a pullout sofa bed in the living room space.

Ready for a change of scenery? Bike or drive into the charming Garifuna village of Hopkins to enjoy a multitude of shopping and dining experiences. Hang out with the locals, have a Belikin or two, soak up the local scene in what has been called the friendliest village in Belize.

No trip to Belize is complete without a trek through the jungle. Cockscomb Jaguar Preserve, just ten miles from Hopkins, offers great hikes to amazing waterfalls.

Scuba and snorkeling opportunities galore; Belize is sure to please those who like to look beneath the surface of a perfect azure sea. Within ten nautical mile from the second largest barrier reef in the world, it’s a diver’s dream!

What a place!

Karen’s place is a true gem. The photos don’t lie. You’ll enjoy a private beach, well-kept grounds, and safe, clean, comfortable accommodations off the beaten path. Karen is an attentive host whose recommendations were always spot on. Caretaker Mary was always available without ever being intrusive. Make sure to book your private tours with Steven and Jaheem who can show you everything on and in the water. They are great company and excellent tour guides who launch from a small dock right across the street. We swam in bioluminescent lagoons under the stars, visited the cayes, swam with turtles, and snorkled with fish of all shapes and colors. Couldn’t ask for more! Big thanks to Karen, Mary, Steven and Jaheem for a fantastic trip!

Great adventure base

My family had a wonderful stay at Karen's property. The house was clean and well appointed and a great location to base all of our adventures. The view was incredible and Karen's tips were all great. The property manager was helpful and quick to respond. We especially enjoyed taking the kayaks to see the bioluminesence at Anderson lagoon nearby. By far our favorite though, was Karen's recommendation to spend a day on Lil' Dot with Captain Steven. We saw so much, even a large sea turtle! We had an amazing fishing day and caught a baracuda, just as my 8 year old had hoped for - and also lots of snapper.

Perfect location

The house was perfect for 6 (3 adults and 3 teens). We loved the location, especially being right on the beach. The highlight was the boat and Captain Steven! Being able to head out for a full day of snorkeling, half day of fishing and the bioluminescence tour right from the house was amazing. Steven was the perfect guide, he made sure we were all taken care of and showed us the best time. He was professional and fun! If you are looking for crowds, this is not the location for you! The homeowner and manager were very responsive to questions, especially while I was planning the trip. We would definitely go back again!

Awesome little gem in a quiet neighborhood

We had an amazing stay. We had no issues with the property and had easy communication with the owner and the caretaker. We did utilized the owner's relationship with a tour guide using the owner's boat to do snorkeling, island hopping, and bioluminescence tours. Mango's bar just down the street was open for all but 1 day of our stay and I think we ate at least 1 meal there every day. Very neat and quite bar right on the beach. We had a rental car so we were able to go explore other places and frequented some areas in Hopkins. We absolutely repeat this trip at this house.

What a gem!

Thanks for letting us stay at this amazing property. We loved the location - secluded yet close enough to bike to the town of Hopkins. Karen was very responsive to any inquiries and questions. While on the property, Mary and Daniel were amazing. Daniel took the time to lead us on a kayak adventure in the dark, which gave me a peace of mind. We loved Belize, the friendly people, the great food and fun. We can’t wait to return.
