Placencia house rentals

La Vida Belize - Casa
We are a family of 5 and recently stayed at La Vida Belize. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The plunge pool, beach and dock were the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. We enjoyed being in a quieter area and didn’t mind the distance from the main area of Placencia. We rented a car and explored several areas in Belize during our stay. We used the guestbook for tips about the area and places to eat near Maya Beach. The grounds keepers were friendly and kept everything nice for us during our stay. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. During our week stay, some of the activities we were able to do included: snorkling with Captain Jak’s, visit the Bocawina Nation Park & Zip-line Adventure, fishing, a Monkey River tour and visit some Mayan Ruins. We also spent a good amount of time relaxing and reading on the beach or by the pool. We recommend staying here.

Infinity Pool~Waterfront
A Perfect Getaway in Placencia! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful Airbnb in Placencia, and I can't recommend it enough! The house is situated in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. The property is exceptionally well-kept, with beautiful landscaping and a pristine pool that adds a touch of luxury to the stay. The house itself is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Whether you're looking to unwind by the pool or explore the charming surroundings, this Airbnb offers the best of both worlds. If you're planning a trip to Placencia, this is definitely the place to stay!

Finca Placencia oceanfront Private Beach House
Magical setting! The veranda is wonderful for watching the sunrise & lying in the hammock listening to the lapping of the waves & watching the antics of the pelicans. Andrea is a very interesting woman, who is working hard to address the many challenges of owning an oceanfront property sandwiched between manicured resorts. The beach house is charming with a great bathroom & shower & a functional kitchen. The caretakers were friendly & helpful & it was delightful to watch their two little girls playing & laughing in the ocean. We’ve been visiting Placencia yearly for over a decade & it is reassuring that there are still places like Andrea’s to stay.

Villa Castello, Private, Amenities, Walk to Beach
We had a great time in Placencia. The place was perfect for our needs - spacious, comfy, clean linens, and had all the amenities we needed. It was nice to walk to the resort and have access to the pool and restaurant. Vincent was responsive and checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we had what we needed and to make recommendations. The house is a short drive to restaurants and grocery stores. Overall a great stay in Belize!

Bougainvillea Beach House, 3 Bedroom Home
We love the property and keep coming back; this was our 5th or 6th straight year. We like the fact that it is pretty far north because we like to explore the beautiful country of Belize. We are still close to the great restaurants in Maya beach and can access the village relatively easily. It is clear that Greta loves the property too and does her best to take care of it and improve upon it. The progress on the fountain is great and we look forward to see it functioning in its full glory. We appreciate the effort she makes! Whenever an issue arises, we appreciate the fact that we can work together with Greta to quickly resolve it. It was also a bonus to have Phillip working on the grounds and trying to improve our esperience while we were there this year. The only downsides with our visit this year was about a week of squalling cats during the night and owls that were extremely loud during the wee hours. We are looking forward to coming again next year or perhaps even later this year.

3BR Oceanfront Placencia Peninsula | Private Pool
House was great and service was good pool got cloudy and property manager had somebody there quick.

Bella Vita Casitas
From the day we booked our trip began with wonderful, informative and responsive messages with the hosts. All of our questions were answered quickly and with extra information as well. Upon arrival we were met at the airport with a warm welcome and we knew we had met the host of our dreams. Arrival at Vista Azul had us amazed at the beautiful and pristine accommodations and we were able to settle in for our stay instantly and we were proud to call it home for a week (not long enough). The work put into this Casita as well as their 2nd unit is phenom. From the buildings to the grounds, it is a tropical paradise that cannot be found at any hotel. The kitchen was perfectly stocked with even welcome surprises in the fridge and a beautiful welcome basket. World class! The beach less than 1 minute away at the end of the street, the world famous Sidewalk less than 1 minute away led us to easy and wonderful days for our stay. Everything was perfection. Kat & Dirk are simply outstanding

Living in the treetop with amazing views
Our whole family fell in love with this house as soon as we walked in. My 16 year old son said “this house makes me feel incredibly happy” and the rest of us felt the same. There is tons of space. Big kitchen. Multiple eating and lounge areas. Excellent stove with 6 burners. The breeze blows through the fully screened kitchen and living areas. There is no air conditioning but lots of fans and we managed just fine. This is not a cookie cutter house. This is a special house that is perfectly suited to relax and be one with nature. We kayaked from the private docks all through the canals and it was like another world. Loved it! The outdoor dart board was a hit too. Herbert was an amazing host. Very responsive and helpful. We were sad to leave and will always remember our visit here.
Placencia island rentals

Blue water reef views - 2 King Beds - 2 Cabanas
L emplacement de cette île est tout simplement parfait. Tout près de la barrière de corail nous avons eu la chance de faire du snorkeling dans un endroit magique et inoubliable. L’équipe de cindiri nous a semblé un peut timide le premier jour, mais si vous prenez la peine d échanger avec eux, vous ferez assurément de belles rencontres. Nous vous conseillons de prendre la formule compète, car nous avons mangé des plats authentiques et délicieux, Fidel et Coco sont de très bons cuisiniers. Marvin quand à lui nous a apprit ses techniques de pêche. Nous vous conseillons de partir en expédition sur la journée, nous avons pu ainsi découvrir les fonds marins avec Dingo qui est une personne très cultivée sur le sujet et qui vous fera peut être découvrir les petits requins cachés sous les rochers. Grâce à cette équipe nous avons pu voir pour la première fois des dauphins nagés tout près du bateau et pêcher deux magnifiques barracudas. Nous n’aurions pas pensé qu’en seulement 6 jours sur l’île nous serions aussi tristes de quitter cette formidable équipe.

Palmento Grove Garifuna Live-In Experience
We absolutely loved our stay. The little cabin was perfect and private. There were so many birds right around us. Uwahnie made us breakfast both mornings that was absolutely delicious. We had access to kayaks to use anytime so went for several paddles. Paddling across to the island was a huge part of the charm. We participated in the Cultural Day and learned about the Garifuna culture. During this we made traditional Hudut for lunch. Absolutely delicious! We plan on going back to stay next time we are in Belize. A wonderfully quiet and secluded (but close to town) place to stay.

Hideaway Caye. Your Own Little Island!
Amazing! Such a unique experience with lovely hosts. A beautiful location to spend time relaxing, snorkeling or fishing on the property or real close by. You can always get picked up form their dock for other excursions too if you wish (they helped us arrange a fly fishing trip and we snorkeled the barrier reef). The food that was included with the airbnb was delicious - most of it caught by the hosts or nearby fisherman. We actually ate Conch and a barracuda we watched them catch when they took us to a secret snorkeling spot. Nights are quiet and bug free. Reminder that there is no cell phone service in the Airbnb which, trust me, can be a good thing for relaxing. Finally, I can't say enough about the hosts - such a lovely family that we enjoyed sharing stories, laughing and playing cards with. I hope to be back real soon!

King Lewey's Island Resort Pink Seahorse Cabana
This is handsdown the best place I have ever stayed in in my life! Our experience here we will treasure forever. Not only is it stunning and so intimate especially in the evenings when the day guest have left, the staff are the kindest people and very attentive. We had the absolute pleasure of meeting and spending time with King Lewey and Queen Kathy and they also made sure our experience was truly unforgettable. This tiny and beautiful island has so many fun activities to do and the food and drinks are 10 out of 10. I couldn't recommend staying here more if I tried!

King Lewey's Island Resort Yellowtail Cabana
King Lewey's Island Resort was a beautiful oasis in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Only accessable by boat, you are guaranteed to hear ocean waves crashing outside of your cabana and feel the sea breeze inside of it. There is a bar/restaurant, 4 cabanas, and plenty of fun located around the island. While there are only 4 cabanas, we were surprised to see how popular the island was when we arrived. There is day access to the island, so a fair amount of people explore during the day. By night time, and early in the morning, the only people on the island have rented out the cabanas. Food and drinks were a little expensive, but everything was delicious and came with large portion sizes. We even had a live lobster for dinner that came from right outside of our cabana. Not authentic Belize culture, but an island playground for adults and children.

Permit To Play 3 - Caribbean Seafront
All I have to say is...PERFECTION!!! We've been renting airbnb's for over 10 years and this has been the best yet. Great location, well taken care of, clean, responsive friendly hosts, great amenities and the most well stocked place I've experienced. I can't say enough great things about this place.

Modern Beach Living Villa A
Fabulous location - the house is set back from the road far away from the hubbub of Placencia Village. Wonderful to have our own a private beach with vegetation on either side so that you never saw any neighbours. To top it off was the manager Santiago who gave us our privacy yet kept the grounds pristine. He chopped down and opened a couple of coconuts for us. Great guy.

Coconut House: Beachfront in Placencia Village
Great accommodation! We really enjoyed our stay at the Coconut House. The house was comfortable and the view was amazing!

Gold Standard Oceanfront 3 Bedroom villa with POOL
This beachfront Airbnb in Placencia, Belize, is a fantastic choice for a peaceful getaway. The location is perfect—steps from a private beach and close to the village. The house was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable, with a lovely patio overlooking the ocean. Rene, the host, was very responsive and ensured we had everything we needed. Highly recommend :)

Top Floor 2BR with Pool Docking & Scenic Views
Me and my group of friends had an amazing stay at Bahia Vista, Jessie and Zun provided top notch service throughout the week stay. Will def be coming back to visit and highly recommend booking this location.

Mermaid Cottage & Pool on Azura Beach in Placencia
We stayed in the mermaid cottage and it was lovely, clean, and comfortable. But the true treasure were the caretakers, Jose and Sylvia. They were friendly, patient, and very very helpful. Jose gave us recommendations for very unique Belizean experiences that we never would have found otherwise and helped us with even our most high maintenance needs/requests with a smile. They both really went above and beyond and felt like family by the end of the trip. We I didn't particularly love the rain shower in the bathroom. One of us has thick curly hair and it was very difficult to rinse. It would be awesome if the hosts invested in a detachable shower head to go with it. Also a sad reality is that a lot of garbage washes in from the ocean. The caretakers do their best to keep it clean but it's a nonstop task and there are only 2 of them. I would love to see the hosts hire atast one more caretaker since it's a lot of property to manage. Otherwise no notes.

Casa Ranguana
Absolutely stunning home with a serene location! The home was spotless and better than pictured with beautiful views of the beach and ocean from every room. Albert and Francee were so kind and helpful they made us feel like we were in our own private resort. The owner provided great details and suggestions in advance of us arriving and Albert made sure to check in regularly during the week and give us lots of recommendations to ensure we made the most of our vacation while also making sure it felt like home; so much so that we were sad to leave. We’d recommend this location to everyone and can’t wait to return again in the future.

Ohana Beachfront Cabana - privacy, view & space
Everything was picture perfect. It is a wonderful place to lay back and relax. Everything that you need is in walking distance. We walked a lot. Rented a golf cart from them for two days, but enjoyed walking more. Everything is local and there are great restaurants to eat at each day. Each day can be in a different place if you like. Went on a Mayan tour and was picked up at the bnb. It was a perfect vacation, can't say enough good things about the place. Not cheap, but well worth the cost!
