Really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Villa by the Sea! Our family of 5 had plenty of room to spread out (the teenager thought it was really cool to have his own kitchen and bathroom upstairs). The dock was amazing, and the pool was just perfect for dipping off. The host was super helpful and responsive. I would recommend a golf cart! It really made going into town more enjoyable, being in an open-air environment. We used GetToKnowBelize for a few adventures (ATM cave, snorkel, and fishing), recommended by the host, and they were great!

Beautiful vacation home

We had a wonderful time in Hopkins at this spacious beach house. The location is absolutely beautiful with an amazing dock and beautiful outdoor living. House has everything you could need- exactly as described. Short 5 minute golf cart ride to the marina with a restaurant and town/resorts 5 minutes in the other direction.

Week in paradise!

This was our second time staying at this great property. As before, it never let us down. The house is amazing, the kitchen is of great design and wonderful for serving meals. We made stewed chicken, the national dish of Belize and everyone loved it. The pier is fantastic to hang out on and swim from and then there is the pool area for a relaxing time. It is close to Bocawina where we hiked through the rain forest one day and zip lined another. It is also close to Sub Umbra Floreo chocolate farm which was an amazing and informative tour. And, of course, don't forget about the ocean. What a place to wake up everyday and see that amazing view. Highly recommend staying here. -Arne

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.

Family Exploration

We thoroughly enjoyed this comfy home away from home. Darwin helped guide us a bit when asked, exploring Hopkins, making new friends and eating the food are the best highlights!! Water was beautiful, dock and using kayaks was loads of fun for all of us! We loved this home and area and look forward to staying again in the future!

Fun house on the ocean

This house was amazing. My family loved it. We had the perfect sunrise view from the deck, we loved the sea kayaks, and having a pool at the house. The kitchen was huge, and it was so nice to have a/c. We would love to come back again one day.

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.

Everything was fantastic at this lovely house. We appreciated the plentiful towels and beach toys and the ice maker was a fun bonus. The dock was amazing, with 5 comfortable loungers and we spent most of our time there enjoying the ocean breezes. I hope we can return some day!!

Belize Bliss

This property is very well appointed and had everything we wanted or needed. It provided privacy for those who wanted it. A beautiful home with the amenities of a small pool, poolside side bar, dock, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, high quality beach furniture, and a golf cart made our stay the most enjoyable beach vacation we have ever had. A difficult place to say farewell to.

Great house

The house was lovely with many high-end features. It was great to have the pool and dock, we used both. Our timing was unfortunate with the sea grass, we often caught an unpleasant odor. We enjoyed being near, but not in town.

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.

Clean and quiet

Located close to downtown Hopkins, but just far enough to escape the commotion. Nice, quiet home with plenty of amenities to keep you entertained. Pool is small, but oddly perfect. Hanging out under the cabana, watching the water, was so relaxing. It took me a day to realize the water at the end of the pier was only a few inches deep during low tide!

Hopkins with Friends

We had a fantastic time in Hopkins! The home and location are beautiful, spacious and accommodating, and provided my husband and I and our friends the perfect relaxing getaway. From the start, the property manager Darwin was exceptionally helpful. He was quick with responses and recommendations before and during our trip, and gave us a tour of the home and amenities that made our experience in Hopkins fun and easy to navigate. We enjoyed our inland excursions to the ATM Cave and various ruins and being picked up from the pier by boat to go snorkeling. Our experience was truly remarkable and we would highly recommend Villa by the Sea!

Awesome oceanfront house in beautiful Belize

The property is a beautiful perfectly maintained house right on the ocean with every amenity you could want. A standout was the dock and thatch roofed covered platform at the end of the dock where you could see water on all sides an awesome place to eat dinner, sun yourself or just relax. It was our first time to Belize and we loved it. We went scuba diving and snorkeling most of the time we were there and found the underwater beauty spectacular. We also went on a great hike in the nearby jungle water fall filled national park which was incredible. The little beach shack restaurants right on the sand are great. Darwin the caretaker was there whenever we needed him for advice and sue the owner was great.

Amazing!

My family (including two children) had an amazing time at this very special house. We enjoyed the dock, pool, and ocean everyday. We had a lot of fun spotting the wildlife from the dock. The house is well stocked, very clean/organized, and comfortable. We also love the location and proximity to Hopkins- everyone in the village is so kind. Darwin was incredibly helpful in pointing us in the direction of the various activities we wanted to do while we were there. The property owner is also very kind and easy to communicate with. We hope to come back to this very special home in the future!

Dream vacation

We had an amazing stay! It was especially nice after the problems with our airlines. The place is fantastic. The amenities are great. Everything that you could ask for in a property. The host set us up well and Darwin, the on site host, greeted us and gave us some great suggestions. Both were available if we had any questions. It is the perfect place to get away from the hassles of life. It is also close to Bocawina and St. Hermans Blue hole and only an hour and a half from Xunantunich Mayan ruins. We definitely would stay here again. Thank you so much. -Arne
