Placencia Peninsula Vacation Rentals, Belize House Rentals

Make The Placencia Peninsula your next getaway

The Placencia Peninsula is a long, thin stretch of land toward the southern coast of Belize that feels like it may be an isolated Caribbean island. The peninsula, nestled between the Caribbean Sea and the Placencia Lagoon, is about 16 miles long and contains the villages of Maya Beach, Seine Bight, and Placencia Village. These seaside communities are known for being particularly lovely places to visit. With dazzling beaches, an offshore barrier reef, friendly locals, and plenty of nearby adventures, this laid-back section of Belize is a slice of heaven!

Clean apartment right on the beach. check Coconut palms cascading over vivid blue water. check Great restaurant a short beach walk away. check This place exceded our expectations in almost all regards. Granted, my expectations were tentative because it's hard to know what your getting from a few photos. So here's the rest of what you might want to know. This place is a little bit north of the airport in Placencia, but not close enough to walk. You'll need to rent a car. A golf cart might do, but I think the trip to the town would be a bit far for that. It's about 7 mins by car. The bed is super comfortable and large enough for me and 2 teenaged kids. Linens were clean and comfy too. Next, I thought the kitchen and bath were perfectly fine, the bathroom tile is a very pretty and the kitchen is sparce but adequet - I bought a new non-stick pan and left it (you're welcome). But you need to manage expectations here. These are vintage (probably 80's) decor. *Hands down the best part of this place is the beach. The beach is partially shaded with coconut palms and the water is probably about 10 yards or so from the porch! Lounge chairs are set out along the beach and by the pool for you to use. If you're lucky, you might stop someone climbing a coconut tree. Don't be shy, ask to buy one and sip fresh coconut water on the beach :) For a great meal you don't have to cook, venture south about 3 apartment groups down to find an upscale all-inclusive resort with similar accomodations for exponetially higher cost. They are happy to welcome outside guests at their restaurant though. We had an excellent meal for relatively cheap. We also ate at the Turtle Inn, but this place was better.
