The Sundial Beach Cabana - Tiny houses for Rent in sittee river, stann creek, Belize

The place is good. Fairly straightforward in has basic amenities. Not really a place to swim out front. No loungers or table outside to fully utilize the patio or deck. The bikes and kayaks were great. Close enough to Hopkins.

Very nice house, very practical except the locks are a little complicated. Very nice to have bicycles available to be able to go to the village without having to take the car.

très belle maison, très pratique sauf les serrures un peu compliquées. très agréable d'avoir des vélos à disposition pour pouvoir aller au village sans devoir prendre la voiture.

Thank you Caroline. And we'll take note of the locks.

This was a great spot on the beach! The bikes made getting into town easy. There were instructions for everything in the house and overall the stay was great.

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the note about the bike. We will have someone look at it.

El Sargasso changes the whole experience of a seaside cabin. We were unable to enjoy the beach due to the bad smell of the sargassum. I understand that it is an issue beyond the host's control, but it still depreciates the value of the cabin, which should be reflected in the price of the accommodation.

El Sargasso cambia toda la experiencia de una cabaña a la orilla del mar. No nos fue posible disfrutar de la playa por el mal olor del sargasso. Entiendo que es un tema fuera del control del host, pero de igual forma deprecia el valor de la cabaña, que debiera reflejarse en el precio del alojamiento.

Hi Stefan, yes unfortunately we do not control sargassum and that is why our current pricing is about 30% off our regular pricing. Our operating costs remain the same so we can only go so low.  Sargassum has been a big issue in Belize and Mexico this year so maybe reading up on destinations ahead of time would be helpful.

We had an awsome stay!!!  Perfect beach spot.  Everything we needed for our quiet, peaceful vacation.  Caroline and Remi were very resposive to any questions that we had.  I definitely would suggest others to stay.

Easy to find with obvious parking. The pictures are exactly what you get. The mosquitoes or things that bite were active so we appreciated the things provided to deter them. The viewing dock on the water is not in very good shape and could use some attention. The area to walk into the water had a lot of trash built up on the shore. It didn’t feel very welcoming to get in, so we didn’t. We did get to view some rays there in that area though! The house had everything we needed in the kitchen. The bed is extremely firm. There are no “whistles” or “bells”. While we usually like to support local, the last day we were staying- we were solicited 3 times at the door by locals selling things over a couple hours. We were trying to nap. Perhaps no solicitation signs, would be helpful in the future.

Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately there a few things out of our control like bugs and the trash/sargassum that lands on our beach. We do have the beach cleaned up in between guests but yes ocean pollution is a global problem. As for locals coming by to sell foods or goods, this is how they make a living and something normal in Belize and we will respect that. We clearly state in our description that our place is simple - and as you mentioned yourself, pictures are exactly what you get.

Great house. Amazing deck for viewing countless birds. You can launch the kayaks there as well. Located South of the main Hopkins Beach area and very close to the Hotel District. Very peaceful place to stay. We had a car but they also provide bikes to get around. Road is paved to within 50 ft of there house. Very breezy but they also have AC if it gets too hot for open windows. Would definitely stay again - in fact we hope to soon.

Thrilled that you enjoyed your stay and would love to host you again!

Beautiful spot, we really enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning from the dock. The bikes were really useful as well. Everything is very bike able. The hosts were incredibly generous and communicative, when we arrived one of the tires on the bike was flat and they had it fixed within 12 hours which was amazing. We felt right at home, and it’s such a glorious spot, highly recommend.

I enjoyed staying my stay at Caroline's place. The location is perfect and the host was very responsive.

So glad you enjoyed yourself.  It was a pleasure hosting you.

Beautiful house and location! We loved having the kayaks and bikes to use.🤩

Beautiful location and nice place to relax. It was the rainy season, so the bugs were a bit bad at sunrise and sunset, but we just stayed inside during those times.

A very quaint beach front house. Great location close to everything.  Would highly recommend for a couple or even a single person.

So glad you enjoyed your stay!  We hope to see you again soon

We had an absolutely wonderful time at Sundial Beach House. It was peaceful, perfectly situated, kayaks and bikes were awesome and any questions we had were answered super quickly. We had an incredible visit and hope to come back and visit soon! Highly recommend!!

We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay! We hope to host you again!

The sunrises were lovely and we enjoyed the spaciousness of the kitchen for our meals . A cute spot off the beaten track but close enough to Hopkins for fun and adventure . We preferred the beaches in town though .

Our 10 day stay at The Sundial was quite spectacular. The home is cozy and adorable. Beautiful Beachfront property with it's own dock and kayaks (which we used almost daily). Views seemingly forever. The home was perfect and had everything a couple would need for any amount of time. Loved that is was not in town. We had a car so easy for us to motor where we needed to go. It was super quiet & peaceful. Nice central location to get to truly anywhere in Belize you would like. If you are considering a Belize visit without crowds, we highly recommend this place. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We hope to be back soon! :) Annie & Jay

Thank you so much for your kind review. We are thrilled to hear that you've enjoyed your stay.  We hope to host you again!

We had a wonderful six night stay at the Sundial Beach Cabana. The house is exactly as pictured and described. It’s a perfect size for two people. The queen bed was comfortable. The towels were great. The kitchen is very well equipped for making your own meals. When not out exploring the town, the diving and the hiking, we spent countless hours on both of the decks enjoying the weather rolling in and out. Coffee and a sunrise every morning, ahhhh. Mostly we appreciated the kind attention from Caroline and Candace. They responded immediately to any questions about local activities/services, and if they didn’t know the answer they asked around and got right back to us. Caroline also assisted with logistical info prior to arriving which certainly lead to a peace of mind. We felt very well taken care of before and during our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Sundial Beach Cabana.

This was our 1st trip to the Hopkins area, we got lucky finding this place. We had a minor issue with the door locks and salt air but it was quickly resolved. This house is just perfect for a couple that wants to get away yet still have things to do when you want. We took a few day trips but mostly stayed local. Every place we went in the area had great food and reasonably priced. The house itself was incredible and we wished we owned it our selves :) I shouldn't have to say this but the local scenery is just incredible, the sunrises are breathtaking, the local birds and warm breezes are always welcome. We did get a lil rain but the upper porch is a great place to enjoy some local flavors and a cold Belikin beer. The deck on the water is another fantastic place to lay in the sun or stare at the stars. We highly recommend this place and people. The location is awesome, the locals are friendly and the price is very fair. We hope to return... Ray & Michelle

Thank you for the review and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. On behalf of the Sundial Beach CabanaTeam we hope to see you again in Hopkins!

This was my third time at this house, so I already felt at home when I now returned after seven years. A lot had changed, however. First of all, the road from the Southern Highway to Hopkins is now paved as is the road in Hopkins and almost all the way to the house. Seven years back this was all dirt road. The house has also changed owners and you could tell that Caroline and Jesse have started to improve the place. It is perfect for a solo traveler like myself, but will also work for two people. Hopkins is a great hub for all sorts of adventures in Belize. I made use of that on a daily basis, but then also enjoyed ending the day in the hammock on the porch, listening to the waves rolling in. And in the morning you wake up to a great sunrise that you can actually see from your bed. The place has everything you need including plenty of wildlife. I hope I will be able to return soon.

Stephan, we hope to host you for a 4th time soon!. Glad you enjoyed the house and everything Hopkins has to offer. Safe travels

Sundial cottage was exactly as described.  It’s perfect for two people and has all the comforts of home.  We enjoyed sitting on the large decks watching the wildlife in the water - pelicans, herons in the water, and the many beautiful song birds and parrots in the trees. We stayed for approximately two weeks and liked the neighbourhood very much - lots of great places to eat and friendly people to chat with.

Thank you Eilish. Thank you for your review. We hope to host you again!

It was a great rental. Good location, on the water, but not super close to the resorts so it is quiet, and they are super helpful to find things to do. The property manager can help you find things to do and is super helpful. All around great trip and the ease of the property helped.

Thank you Sarah. We are thrilled you enjoyed  your stay and everything belize has to offer.

Lovely seaside home with ocean-facing porch and private dock. I was traveling alone, but this would be the perfect spot for a couple's get-away. The location is far enough south of town that you need some form of transportation to get to the action, but bikes are provided and cabs are available (if you are patient and pay $10 each way). Once I got the lay of things, I took the bike everywhere, but would strongly suggest investing in a headlamp in case you find yourself out after dark - a small portion of the road is unpaved and unlit. A small, resort-y area lies between town and the house, so there are restaurants and other conveniences within 10 minutes on the bike, but true Hopkins is more of a 15-20 minute ride. There was only one dive shop open during my stay (Belize Underwater), but this worked out just fine as the staff were wonderful and the location surprisingly close. The house itself was a dream - lovingly cared for, charming, clean and full of conveniences. The kitchen is better equipped than my own - pots, pans, dishware, glasses, utensils, you name it. There is also a spacious refrigerator and gas stove. All of the windows and patio door can be opened and have screens, and there was often enough of a breeze that the air conditioner wasn't necessary. That being said, the AC did do the trick when needed. Prior to my arrival, Caroline thoughtfully and thoroughly answered my myriad of questions and assisted with travel logistics. During my stay, the property manager was just a text away and exceedingly kind and helpful. Be mindful that this place is a bit out of the way, but in my opinion, that only adds to its appeal. I hope to return someday soon.

It was a pleasure hosting you. We hope to see you again.

If you are looking for a quite ocean front getaway that’s close to attractions but, still a secluded oasis, look no further. Centrally located to many of Belize’s adventures, you’re no more than an hour drive to a number of caves, hikes, waterfall repealing, scuba, zip line, Mayan ruins and a cool bioluminescence night tour… most of those things being only 20 minutes away. The house is located on a residential street pretty far from buses so you’ll want to get a car if you’re planning on doing the adventures or opt for tour packages that include transit. The house was wonderful! It was so nice to come home to after a long day of exploring:) The ocean front view is amazing and made for a wonderful office space while I worked on videos for the month I stayed here. Nothing like opening all the windows and letting the sweet, salty sea air in:) I had been looking forward to swimming right off the dock but, it’s called Shallow Bay here for a reason. It was usually ankle deep for quite some distance but, no problem there as I got my swimming fix scuba diving. I highly recommend doing a snorkel or scuba dive with one of the local shops. You’ll take a boat ride out to amazing spots with an abundance of beautiful sea life! I got to have my first go at spearfishes and pet a number of nurse Sharks! After a month in this place I felt so rejuvenated! I’m so happy I stayed in Hopkins for its relaxing, laid back vibe. If your looking for close by adventure during the day, great food options nearby and a quite, peaceful home at night, this is it!

Larkin, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay amd took full advanatahe of what Belize has to offer.  It was a pleasure hosting you and you were a wonderful guest! We hope to host you again.

The Sundial is an excellent rental home right on the Caribbean.  We stayed for the month of April and enjoyed the entire stay.  Quiet, clean, comfortable, and in a safe, peaceful neighborhood.  Grocery stores and restaurants close by, and, of course, the sea right out the back door.  Top-flight property management provided by Mirko of Like Home Belize.  We will gladly return.

In the 3 weeks we spent here, we didn't miss anything. Location is quiet and direct on the sea. In the house itself is everything you need for a decent household. Manager Mirko has always been there when you needed something . We can do this Recommend house with a quiet conscience.

In den 3 Wochen die wir hier verbracht haben ,hat es uns an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage ist ruhig und direkt am Meer. Im Haus selber ist alles was man für einen anständigen Haushalt braucht. Der Manager Mirko ist immer da gewesen wenn man was gebraucht hat . Wir können dieses Haus mit ruhigem gewissen weiterempfehlen.

Sundial is in a stunning setting! It had everything we needed. It was private and quiet. It is close to numerous good restaurants. The bikes were great for getting into town. The kayaks were fun! Caroline, and Mirko, the property manager, were immediately available and highly responsive via email or Whatsapp. We are keen to return as soon as possible!

Thank you Anthony. We are thrilled you had a nice stay. Thank you for the kettle suggestion we will definitely get one - we are not tea drinkers so it never occurred to us!  Thank you!

This was a great stay at this beach house! Caroline and Jesse are supercool hosts, very helpful and friendly! Highly recommended!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you again for dealing with a burst pipe! Safe travels and happy New Year
