We had a fantastic stay at Casa del Sol in Placencia. The house is spacious, comfortable, and had more than enough room for our family to spread out and relax. The location is great. You can easily walk to the Placencia Sidewalk and all of the local restaurants, shops, and attractions, so we didn't even use a car. The beachfront pool was one of our favorite features. It was the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring, and having the Placencia Beach Club right next door was a huge bonus. Being able to grab great food and cocktails without going far made the experience even better. Casa del Sol is also an excellent base for snorkeling and scuba diving. The tour operators picked us up right at the house, which made our excursions incredibly convenient. A special thank you to Shane, the property manager, who was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was excellent before and during our stay, and he shared great local recommendations.

The location is excellent - right on the beach and close to town. Be careful entering the ocean - watch for rocks and such, and the no-see-ums. Unfortunately, a huge bloom of seaweed washed onto the beach a couple of days into our trip and made it unusable (and stinky) along much of the peninsula's onshore coast. The house is big and the four bedrooms worked perfect for the eight of us (7 adults and an infant). The huge patio area was perfect for hanging out with the family. We were surprised by the lack of an oven, but my daughter (a private chef) made due and prepared some great meals, regardless. The property is a little worn but had the perfect relaxed beach house vibe we wanted as opposed to a line of new cookie cutter side-by-side houses. Snorkeling and diving were great out on the barrier reef (day trip) and the monkey river cruise brought us face to face with an entire howler monkey family. Great trip, great place and Shane was a great host!
