Welcome to Casa de Wilson! A 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom beachfront villa with private chef included.
Nestled in the serene and picturesque community of Maya Beach, Casa de Wilson is a stunning blend of modern elegance and tropical warmth — a spacious, beautifully appointed beachfront retreat designed for families and groups who want it all. Soaring ceilings with exposed beams create an open, airy ambiance that perfectly complements the beachfront setting, while high-end finishes, sleek furnishings, and tasteful décor throughout exude both comfort and sophistication. Large windows in the expansive living area frame breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea, keeping you connected to the beauty outside at every turn.
The main villa features four generously sized bedrooms, two with private en-suite bathrooms and two sharing a well-appointed hall bathroom — a thoughtful layout perfect for families traveling together. The attached private apartment offers a fifth bedroom with a queen bed, its own en-suite bathroom, and a loft with four single beds — an ideal retreat for kids, teens, or extra guests who appreciate a little independence.
Step outside to your private beachfront haven, where a large sparkling pool invites you to cool off while soaking in sweeping ocean views. The private beach and pier are steps away, and two kayaks are available for exploring the calm Caribbean waters at your leisure. With a fully equipped kitchen, three balconies, two verandas, and covered outdoor dining and lounging areas, Casa de Wilson gives your group every reason to stay put — and your included golf cart makes it easy to venture out whenever the mood strikes.
Casa de Wilson is managed by Gecko Vacation Rentals.
**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.
Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.
(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.

Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is one of the country's most beloved destinations — and for good reason. Situated on a stunning 16-mile-long peninsula flanked by the Caribbean Sea on one side and a serene lagoon on the other, Placencia offers the perfect blend of laid-back Caribbean charm and easy access to adventure. Unlike the busier island destinations to the north, Placencia is relaxed, uncrowded, and refreshingly authentic. From here, you're perfectly positioned to explore ancient Mayan ruins, hidden waterfalls, zip lines, cave tubing, world-class snorkeling, and some of the best sportfishing in Central America. Back on the peninsula, you'll find great restaurants, local shops, beachside bars, and the famous Placencia sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!
