“AMAZING!!” Me and my boyfriend stayed here for a few days in October and it was absolutely amazing! The location was the absolute best! Right on the beach and the people in Placencia are the nicest people you will meet! We needed a place short notice and Kay was very quick in replying to our request for a reservation! I wish we could have met Kay while were staying there, but Carolyn took great care of us! We cannot wait to get back here for another vacation and one day permanently! We fell in love with this small and homey village and home to call it home one day! Thank you Kay for having a wonderful piece of property and for letting us stay! I've already started recommending your place to friends and family to check out!

“Great location. Wonderful hospitality. Great place to relax and enjoy the sea.” I can't speak more highly about the hospitality. Very willing to accommodate us and our needs. Very comfortable. Loved having our own mini kitchen, and the layout of the room was nice. Plus we loved the added bonus of the beach being so close to us, and not being right in the village, but at the outskirts made it more quiet and personal. If you stay here you will not regret it, great place at a great price.

“Amazing and awesome time.” What an amazing and phenomenal experience. We had an awesome time. The accomodations were clean and comfortable. The food could not have been fresher - right from the sea. A fully stocked bar with great amenities. We kayaked around the island and visited neighboring islands. It was a bit cool to snorkel at the time we were there, but the whole experience was truly awesome. What a peaceful and relaxing place.

“Island Living!” From the first cup of great Belizean coffee on the veranda each morning to falling asleep by the sound of rustling palm leaves, our 2 week stay at the tree house was extremely relaxing. We loved the long walks on the miles of sandy beaches, stopping for a lunch or drinks along the way. Every walk was a different adventure. During our first walk we met a local on bicycle selling fish and lobster tails. He then periodically came by the house with his fresh catch which we cooked on the grill. Eating fish that was caught only hours before is epicurean delight! Our arrival was made easy by armando who picked us up at San Pedro airport and transported us by boat to the tree house. Before boarding the boat, he took us to a supermarket where we bought our initial supplies. The ride on armando's boat through the mangroves and along the ambergris Caye was a wonderful introduction to the area. The house is well situated near a costal water taxi stop that took us to San Pedro for restaurants, shopping or ferries to Caye Caulker. It was also an easy and lovely walk along the beach to nearby restaurants, each affording us outdoor seating under the palms looking out at the reef, where we enjoyed the excellent local beer and food. Close by is Matte Grande, a surprisingly well stocked store where we purchased our food. The owners were very friendly, providing delivery right to the house as well as being a wealth of information about what to see and do. Don't miss the delicious weekend barbecue, right beside the store. The kayak at the house provided us with easy access to the nearby barrier reef for swimming and snorkeling. We went on an amazing snorkeling boat trip to Hoi Chan Canyons Marine Resort and Shark and Ray ally with Coral Reef Divers. Genie, the diver-owner and a neighbor, and his crew provide a wealth of information about marine life and local lore. But best of all, was experiencing relaxing island living. We will come back!

“Peaceful and calm oasis retreat” This was my fifth visit to Caye Caulker, first time staying in a private rental house as a solo traveler. Kim from Caye Caulker Rentals went above and beyond the entire stay to ensure it was comfortable and safe. Check-in was easy and included a taxi pickup from the airport, then back to the house. Maps and directions are provided, as well as recommendations for eating, shopping and daytime activities. I arrived with a nasty cold and Kim checked in on me, sending me to the pharmacy when I wasn't improving. If you're a solo traveler in central america this kind of oversight is appreciated. The house is made from Belizean hard wood and is beautiful and great for a couple. Steep stairs to the bedroom would not be safe for small children who can walk, but otherwise a great house for a family. The house is cool when windows are open with a breeze (no a/c), and shut up safely when closed. The grounds are clean and full of local flora, which invite lots of birds and geckos. You can hear geckos at night, otherwise extremely quiet. There is no tv, but there is a (sometimes flaky) wireless connection. There is a full kitchen but no spices, and I was able to cook a couple meals without issue. If you're with a group, this is a great entertaining house with built-in table and benches and a beautiful deck around the pool. The pool was refreshing, clean, relaxing and an easy way to cool off in the higher temp days without having to leave the property. Kim kept the pool sparkling with frequent morning cleaning. Location wise, you will want to get a bike as it is about a 5 minute ride from the village, but a long walk on a hot day. I appreciated the quiet but sometimes felt less safe going home alone after dark. Overall this is a beautiful place to get some rest and relaxation, allowing you to experience Caye Caulker on your own time and schedule.

“Amazing Place” I have stayed at Wataview on two different occasions- one week in February and one week in april. Incredible place. The staff and chef are above superior. Chef Sylvia has worked all over the world and her dishes are far superior to anywhere I've eaten with five star chefs. She is delightful and accommodating to any requests. The house has everything you could want for entertaining and enjoyment...beautifully decorated, great rooms, beds, supplies, support. I would highly recommend Wataview...it is beyond amazing- you'll love it.

“Incfredible Experience” My family had the incredible experience of sailing with Belize Sailing Vacations in June. What an experience!! The staff, Cliff and Coree, and later Captain Dave was exceptional. Their entire goal was to make us comfortable and make The Doris our home for the week. If what we wanted to do was possible, Captain Cliff and Captain Dave made it happen. The cooking by Coree (sorry - not sure how to spell your name) was exceptional!! Absolutely delicious. As we come from Cajun Country where we take our cooking and eating very seriously this is a huge compliment. We were concerned how it might be to live on a boat with two total strangers for a week. No worries - they made us very comfortable and we fast became friends. When Tropical Depression Barry arrived, Captain Cliff made sure we were safe and out of harm's way. Safety was always his top priority. We never felt threatened in the least. The only reason a five star was not given for this review was the fact that the air conditioning went out in one of the bedrooms the last two nights on the boat. Being from South Louisiana we like our air conditioning!! Because of the rain, the hatches had to be closed and it was quite uncomfortable. Other than this issue everything was fantastic and we would highly recommend vacationing on The Doris. We hope to take the southern route in the future.
