About this property

Waterfront - Orchid Bay Casita 9A

Orchid Bay is a resort community located on a protected cove on the beautiful Bay of Chetumal in northern Belize. Casita 9A is an 1150 2 bedroom (one is a loft) one bath home with complete kitchen, air conditioning, and a large screened in porch right on the waterfront. It has beautiful Belizean hardwood ceilings, loft walls, and furniture. The use of our 2 Bicycles and DVD movies are included. (No television channels are available yet.)
It is not located right in Corozal. It is 12 miles on bumpy, unpaved roads.
---Options for getting to Orchid Bay :
1) Fly to Belize City and rent a 4X4. (All agencies have them) There are two options to drive to Orchid Bay. (each takes approx. 2 1/2 hrs and we will provide directions on request)
a) Take the paved Northern Highway to Corozal and then the last 3/4 hr is on a dirt/gravel/bumpy road. You will also have to cross two rivers on hand cranked ferries to get to Orchid Bay. These are pretty cool as you can ask the gentlemen if it's o.k. for you to crank and they will gladly oblige. This is the best way for your first time to Orchid Bay.
b) Take the paved Northern Highway to Orange Walk. Then turn to San Estevan, Little Belize and then to Orchid Bay.
2) Fly to Belize City and then hire a transfer to drive you to Orchid Bay.
3) Fly to Belize City and then fly to Corozal. Hire a transfer company to take you to Orchid Bay (approx. US$50) or rent a vehicle in Corozal. The cost is approx. $80/day including insurance. Belize has two national airlines : Tropic Air and Maya Island Air.
5) Fly into Cancun and then take Tropic Air to Belize City and then do one of the options above.
6) Fly into Cancun and rent a vehicle. Make sure you ask if the vehicle can be taken across the border to Belize.
7) Fly into Cancun and take ADO bus lines to Corozal, Belize and then get transfer company to pick you up and bring you to Orchid Bay.

Beautiful Property

This place is better than the pics! I've been coming to Belize for 7 years now and this kitchen is the best I've experienced! And this casita is the best on the property as it is secluded and has amazing ocean views. Thanks for the great stay!

Beautiful everything

The location was gorgeous, we had our own beach in the backyard. The property had beautiful views of the and sunsets. It was immaculately kept with everything you would need and more. A lovely screened in veranda with a chaise to enjoy the sounds of the beach while reading a book. The grounds are immaculately kept and the bungalows spaced for plenty of privacy. The bungalows themselves are beautifully built for a perfect beach getaway. Plenty to do in the area if you can tear yourself away. Mayan ruins and Corozal as well as a butterfly garden and a nature preserve as well a sleepy coastal fishing village all well within driving distance. As a family the bungalow offered a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer. There is a restaurant on site and staff to help with anything and they were.

Very nice

We really enjoyed staying here. The place was open, spacious and beautiful. I would definitely go back for a longer period of time. We only had 2 days and that just wasn't enough time to enjoy all it had to offer

Orchid Bay

My family and I stayed at Casita 9A in Orchid Bay and it was excellent! They had everything you could possibly need and the location of the Casita was perfect. It was on the end and just as the picture shows it. Inside the Casita was clean with plenty of extras. We were all very, very happy staying there and would love to go back (this time with the granddaughters in place of the grandsons, lol). Everyone at Orchid Bay was very nice and helpful as well.

Paradise Awaits

Our entire group thoroughly enjoyed our time at this wonderful getaway. The Casita was perfect. The staff at Orchid Bay was more than accommodating. Just relax or enjoy the bikes, kayaks, and paddle boards. We took advantage of some excursions to see Mayan ruins and snorkeling (snakelin in local jargon) on the great coral reef. Don't forget the yoga if you are so inclined. I'm sure I have left something out. Pack your sense of adventure and be prepared to do things Caribbean style and on Caribbean time. Did I mention the food?

About the host

Hosted by Debi Millet

We are parents and Grandparents and love to spend time with our family. We live in the Pacific Northwest when we are not enjoying our time in Belize. We also love to travel, snorkel, read and go sailing.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our Casita in Orchid Bay Belize mainly for our own use as a vacation home. We fell in love with Orchid Bay when we first visited in April of 2008 and purchased our casita pre-construction. It was completed in December of 2010. We are not yet able to be there for more than a few months a year and so are making it available for others to enjoy when we are not using it.

What makes this property unique

The rest and relaxation we enjoy when we are here make it very hard to leave. We chose Belize because of the ease of getting there from the USA. The people are so friendly and almost all of them speak English. It is a beautiful warm area. Watching the sun set from our porch with the warm scrumptious tropical breezes floating by is beyond description. Make sure you try an Apple Banana in Belize they are the best!
