Dana's cottage is very spacious and has everything you need. Our highlight was the bicycles. The cabin is a bit further from the center and located in a residential area, which we liked very much, and thanks to the bikes, you could also get to things quickly. What detracted a bit from our experience was that the shower was very inconvenient, as it had no or very little water pressure, as well as a few minor issues with the amenities. All in all, though, we were happy to stay at Dena's place and would gladly recommend the accommodation!

Danas Hütte ist sehr großzügig und hat alles was man braucht. Unser Highlight waren die Fahrräder. Die Hütte ist etwas weiter vom Zentrum entfernt und in einer Wohngegend gelegen, was uns sehr gut gefallen hat und durch die Bikes war man auch schnell im geschehen. Was für uns einen kleinen Abzug gemacht hat, ist, dass die Dusche sehr mühsam war, da sie gar kein bis kaum Wasserdruck besitzt sowie noch kleinere Punkte bei der Ausstattung. Alles in allem waren wir aber glücklich bei Dena zu übernachten und würden die Unterkunft gerne empfehlen!

Would have appreciated a few more directions of how to find the place as we preferred to walk there but ended up having to pay a taxi to find it for us. The bikes available to use with a bike lock included was great, really enjoyable way to get around the island.

We loved the Hawk’s Nest. If you are accustomed to 5⭐️ luxury, this is not the place for you but this rustic cabin was delightful and well equipped for cooking light meals. We enjoyed our coffee on the deck and especially loved riding the bikes around the caye.

honestly a lot to say about this property. from the outside it’s cute but there’s holes in the walls and floors which allow all bugs in and noise. ferrel cats and dogs at all hours of the night, you will not sleep here. bikes were useful but it’s pretty far from the main street (15 min) but easy roads. Bathroom had major issues, a leak under the rink that made all the towels damp and never dry. the shower had the pressure of a water bottle drizzling. the toilet also did not flush toilet paper well. there’s no comforters on the bed it’s a throw blanket. windows allow all bugs in and the house is whatever temp the outside is. the fence swings back at you and the bike stands don’t work well. don’t get me wrong, if you’re not in the house a lot it’s a nice place but the noise and the bugs are just so insanely bad. the host is super nice and answers quickly and gave us early check in and late checkout which was super nice and recommendations! it’s not their fault for outside factors!

We are sorry that you were not completely satisfied. Thank you for your feedback, which helped us discover a leaking pipe under the sink, which we have already repaired. Since this is a tropical island, we do not automatically provide warm blankets, but everything is available upon request (the same way like we provided fresh towels). At the same time, all windows have insect screens and the apartment has been freshly insulated against insects. We have no idea where the problem originated. Nevertheless, thank you for your feedback, there is always room for improvement.

Had a great time staying at Hawk’s Nest. It was clean, cozy, and we liked that it was a bit out of the main part of the island. Dena was very responsive as well.

We loved it there. Everyday we went into town with the bikes which is really nice to pass all the locals! Very calm area and perfect to stay

We enjoyed our stay in Dena's place. She always reacted fast when we had questions. The cabin had everything we needed. Water pressure could be better but we managed. It is away from the city center so the bikes that come with the cabin are very handy. There is a supermarket close by. We can recommend hawks nest.

We stayed 4 nights at Hawk‘s Nest and really enjoyed our time there! It‘s a bit away from the center (as indicated on the map) but we preferred it like this and it was easy and fast to get there by bicycle (or taxi/golf cart). There were bicycles available at the cabin which was a big plus! The cabin itself had everything we needed and we could have easily stayed longer :) Communication with Dena was really fast and easy, check-in as well. We would definitely recommend staying there!☺️

The cabin description is accurate for the interior. Outside could use a bit more maintenance. The bicycles were good. This is a great place to stay if you want a place to sleep and go out to do a lot of activities. We like to relax on decks, so it wasn't good for us in that way. Near garbage transfer station, so there was a lot of garbage in the mangroves. The property next door had a lot of garbage. Due to abnormal rains, there was a LOT of standing water, so not good for biting insects. Our issues with the property were largely out of the control of the hosts (who we never met in person, but we're good with messaging). We left early and stayed elsewhere.

The unit was high @ dry but surrounding streets were flooded. Luckily Romer next door is a cab driver who drove us through the flooded streets!

Schöner Aufenthalt. Es hat alles gut gepasst.

We spent 3 wonderful nights at Hawk's Nest and it was an unforgettable experience. The owner, Dena, was incredibly communicative from the start, providing clear and detailed instructions that made our arrival seamless. The location was exactly what we were looking for—peaceful and away from the busier, touristy areas of the island. Yet, it was still easy to access those parts by bike, which were provided as part of the accommodation. This added convenience made exploring the area even more enjoyable. The cabin itself had a charming rustic design. It was also fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen was well-stocked, the Wi-Fi was reliable, and there was a TV. Everything was spotlessly clean, and it was clear that a lot of care went into maintaining the space. Overall, it was the perfect getaway, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Hawk's Nest. Dena’s hospitality and attention to detail made it a truly special stay, and we would love to return in the future!

First, Dena, which is the name she corresponded under, switched cabins right before we departed the USA, without any input from us. Then, and this is the inexcusable part, she canceled our reservation AS WE LANDED IN BELIZE! So, there we are, headed to immigration, and we didn't even have an address to give them. We were in a new country with no place to stay. As a seasoned traveler I was blown away by her callousness. THANK HEAVENS, we just happened to fly in with a couple her were from Belize, and they took wonderful care of us. It could easily have been a nightmare situation. Dena should not be allowed to rent on Airbnb.

Unfortunately, the guest's rating does not match the reality as it took place. I was deeply saddened by the fact that this occurred, but on the day of the guest's arrival we discovered that there was a problem with the cabin roof. I immediately wrote to the guest about the problem with a recommendation to look for other accommodation but with the provision that they could of course stay the first night in the accommodation to give them more time to find alternative accommodation. That is, there was never a cancellation and the guests had a place to stay and something to report on the immigration form. At the same time, I offered to help the guests find alternative accommodation, I did not dare to book anything without their knowledge. Unfortunately, the guests were very upset from the beginning and refused further assistance. Again, we are very sorry that this situation occurred.

Good apartment just outside the tourist zone, which we liked very much. The bikes are in good condition, so you can get everywhere quickly. Vladislava is a good host. Very helpful and easily accessible.

Gute Wohnung etwas ausserhalb der Touristenzone, was uns sehr gefallen hat. Die Fahrräder sind in einem guten Zustand, sodass man überall schnell hin kommt. Vladislava ist eine gute Gastgeberin. Sehr hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar.

Hawk’s Nest is a good place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere away from the main strip of Caye Caulker. The bikes were really handy to get to and from places and the kitchen was really well equipped. Unfortunately the air con does not really work and it does get very hot during the day but at night it was fine. The cabin is also quite dark and slightly dated but it was a good base for us.

nice, private setting. everything as advertised.

We had a wonderful stay at the Hawk's Nest. Dena was very informative, and the place was reasonably easy to locate given the picture in the ad! The bikes were fantastic and made our stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this Air BnB!

Amazing stay at Dena’s cabin. Calm place, away from the island’s downtown. Bikes provided, so handy and center reachable within 10min. Dena was so responsive to all questions we had. Quality/price 10/10!! Recommend !!!!

My stay was great, the place felt confortable and safe. The bikes were useful to get to the more touristic part of the island.

Lovely place. Good beds and plenty of equipment in the kitchen. I'm glad there was drinking water. The kitchen was not very clean but for us no problem. Take a dishwashing and countertop and it was ready again. Had a great time. Especially the use of the bikes is nice.

Heerlijke plek. Goede bedden en voldoende uitrusting in de keuken. Fijn dat er drinkwater aanwezig was. De keuken was niet erg schoon maar voor ons geen probleem. Even een afwas en aanrecht afnemen en het was weer klaar. Erg naar ons zin gehad. Vooral ook het gebruik van de fietsen is fijn.

Large and comfortable accommodation (air conditioning, fan) a little far from the center but with the loan of bikes everything is close. However, the bungalow is dark and a little old. We found the price a little too expensive given the benefits.

Logement grand et confortable (Clim, ventilateur) un peu éloigné du centre mais avec le prêt des velo tout est proche. Cependant le bungalow est sombre et un peu vieux. Nous avons trouvé le prix un peu trop cher compte tenu des prestations.

Hawk's Nest...i was torn between giving it a 5 for its price and a three for a couple of things. Hence the 4 stars. If you ever went to summer camp think camp cabin, with a private bathroom and a rudimentary kitchen. I have been in Caye Caulker before, i know what it is. A reclaimed mangrove swamp slowly turning into a tourist destination. Hawk's nest is on the very edge of the development, it's where the locals live, which is exactly what i wanted for a 6 week stay. It is far from the night life noise, the constant radio blare of the village center. What i did not expect was the volume of bugs (mangrove) and the noise of the neighborhood (dogs and trucks). Nothing that my hosts can control, just a bit of a surprise. All in all fine, and as i plan to return i will stay here again, with ear plugs and plenty of bug repellent!

The house was good for the price. Its fairly removed from the main area of Caye Caulker. Not necessarily walking distance but they do provide bikes to ride back and forth. Unfortunately, it is quite noisy with the local dogs and worth mentioning we couldn’t hang outside much due to the sand fleas.  It backs up to a marsh and they are digging a new beach not far from the house creating the issue. These downsides are no fault of the owners and are simply a part of the island. I would stay here again but it would come with different expectations as it’s the third time I’ve stayed on the island.

It really is far from the main attractions. We had an issue with the bikes and the host didn’t respond for about 24 hrs which meant we had to walk. We booked specifically bc bikes were stated as available in the listing. Host was excellent about reaching out about rules and making sure we didn’t think we could arrive early or depart late - so it was odd there was a delay when we needed something. Host also didn’t check us in, it was a friend. We couldn’t enjoy the outdoors bc the bugs were biting so much and we had to be vigilant w keeping the door closed so they didn’t come in. Sleeping was tough due to the crowing rooster which started at 2:30 and continues hourly-ish until morning.

Hosts were excellent and the place was clean and as described. Great wifi and TV and nice little kitchen for use. Also the bikes for guest use were a fantastic addition and great for getting around. Only downside was the property is a little far away from the main area of the island but that could be a positive depending on what you want. Lastly the sand flies are quite bad out there as the property backs right onto the mangrove forest and we got lots of bites so just be aware and use lots of repellent. Otherwise great spot!

The perfect stay if you like to stay away from the center. Easy to walk around the island. Check in was terrible but it was not Dena’s fault. Recommended!

Great month long stay at this Airbnb. I work remotely and never had a single issue with the wifi or wifi speed (zoom calls etc). Steve the host was also very friendly, helpful, and even made us breakfast a few times! Will be staying here in again if I ever find myself back on the island.

We felt very comfortable at Hawk's Nest. The communication with Dena worked great, and Steve was a super nice host. The place was very spacious, and everything was clean. The kitchen was very well equipped. Since the place is not right in the center, it's great that the rental bikes are available. We would come back anytime and absolutely recommend this place.

Wir haben uns im Hawk's Nest sehr wohlgefühlt. Die Kommunikation mit Dena hat super funktioniert, und Steve war ein supernetter Gastgeber. Die Unterkunft war sehr geräumig, und alles war sauber. Die Küche war sehr gut ausgestattet. Da die Unterkunft nicht direkt im Zentrum liegt, ist es super, dass es die Leihfahrräder gibt. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und diese Unterkunft absolut empfehlen.

Steve was a great host, picking me up at the airport, helping me get a golf cart even though it was after hours, showed me around the island, and brought me some homemade fried conch one evening. Lovely little island!

This place was a great value for the price! It was within walking distance from a supermarket, there were bikes you could use to ride around the island, and the house wasn’t in a tourist area, so you could relax. The wifi was great for remote work, Zoom calls and Netflix. Steve was so kind, very responsive, and helpful.

This was a perfect place to stay during my solo visit. The bicycle provided by the hosts made getting around the island very easy. The hosts had great recommendations for local restaurants, dive shops, etc. And, they helped me arrange transfer to and from the ferry with my luggage. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and just as described. Wifi connection was excellent. Hosts were very kind and communication was excellent. I would definitely return.

Great cabana in peaceful end of the island. You will hear many birds around and when wind blows in your direction, maybe you will hear the electric plant as well a bit with open windows... Steve and Dena were great hosts, very attentive and fun. Steve also runs a sailing tours, so check with him for some trips! Their bikes make you explore the island with such ease..

Steve is a very nice, hospitable host. He made soup for us that was very kind. The place is a little away from the town, but it’s a small island getting around was not a problem and the bikes were very useful. We pretty much had everything we needed, we didn’t used the kitchen cuz we ate out all the time but the knives were rusty though. There is an AC but the wind from outside and electric fan was enough for us. The only thing is sandflies were unavoidable, somehow they are still able to come in. I would suggest they set up a Mosquito net bed canopy for a goodnight sleep, worry-free. We also took the sailing/snorkeling tour with Steve and it was fantastic! 👌🏽

Easy check in process, avail for questions and help if needed. They offer bikes to guests which totally made the experience. The place is a little further out from the main beach/restaurant area but totally enjoyed biking daily and seeing the island!

I loved staying at Dena's and Steve's place!  I was there from Jan. 29th 2022 to Feb. 27, 2022.  It is back in the residential area of of Caye Caulker and bikes are provided to get to and from town.  It's a simple 10 minute or so bike ride.  I stayed in room #2 and found it comfortable and the appliances are newer (in either room).  Big Steve and I enjoyed getting to know one another well, and unfortunately, I was not able to meet Dena, as she was in Europe visiting her family, although I did meet her through Facetime.   Anything I needed, Steve was very attentive to.  Steve even got up very early in the morning on departure day to get me to the airport on Caye Caulker for my 6:00 am flight to Belize City.  I would with out a shadow of a doubt, stay here again!  Thank you both so much for providing a safe and comfortable place to call home while I visited your wonderful tropical Island!

Dena and Steve were great hosts. The room is very clean and in a good location. Very close to town and the airport. We were given bikes to use and it made it very easy (and fun!) to get around and explore the island. The communication was excellent and the hosts had great recommendations about what to do,eat, etc. we are even able to go on a snorkel tour with Steve and had an incredible experience seeing all sorts of ocean life. Dena also took us to a few local spots to see tarpon fish and seahorses. Overall a great experience and highly recommend!

Beautiful and cozy cabanas in the local part of the island which is an easy 10minute bike ride from the tourist spots. We enjoyed our stay at Vladislava’s place very much!

Loved my 2 weeks stay with Dena and Steve. The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures. Dena is always quick to respond and is very helpful and full of advice. It is about 10 minutes by bike to the center and I enjoyed my daily biking very much (bikes are provided). As a solo traveler it was great to live close to their house, it felt safe and their company was 5 stars as well. After going on a snorkling trip with Steve which was absolutely amazing, I hoped on the boat again and again .... a must do for sure!!!!

We honestly fell in love with this place and did not want to leave it, or Caye Caulker for that matter! The hosts are lovely people who also own Blackhawk snorkeling, a must-do while you are on the island. We walked a short distance from the ferry to their office, where Steve greeted us and took us back to the cabin in his golf cart. The cabin interior is dark wood with billowing white curtains, comfy bedding, a well stocked kitchen and bathroom and plenty of drinking water. You can lounge in a hammock on the front porch and have breakfast at the picnic table in the yard. They also provide bikes with baskets for getting around the island, which were definitely a necessity. We were able to enjoy a full day of snorkeling and a romantic sunset cruise with conch ceviche, rum punch, and lunch provided for such a reasonable rate, and without the hassle of choosing which company/what tour, etc. Blackhawk is the best, as is their pup that shares the name! We could have stayed here for months, and wish we had.

This place is amazing! Location is a bit out of the city center but its only a very quick bike ride away. Sleeping with the wind chimes and enjoying the cute cabana was amazing. D is an amazing host and always there for you when you need her. Steve owns a snorkeling company. I STRONGLY recommend booking with him since we had an amazing time on the sail boat. Reserve quickly since they don’t take big groups! Hot water present (rare for Caye Caulker) and extremely clean spot. The cabana comes with bikes too so no need to worry about renting it!

We felt welcome & comfortable from the first minute we arrived. Dana is a super host who is happy to help with any questions. The distance from the center is not a problem at all due to the free prepared bikes, with which to be able to explore Caye Caulker. We would come back out.

Wir haben uns von der ersten Minute an willkommen & wohl gefühlt. Dana ist eine super Gastgeberin, die gerne bei jeglichen Fragen behilflich ist. Die Entfernung vom Zentrum ist durch die kostenlos bereorgestellten Räder gar kein Problem, mit denen man auch toll Caye Caulker erkunden kann. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Dena's place was a cozy spot to relax after a day walking around town and exploring the oceans. As she describes, it is a little ways from the main activities but Dena and Steve provide bicycles. We opted to walk most of the time and enjoyed the walk. There is also a taxi driver across the street who was very accommodating when we wanted to catch a cab. It was $10 BZ to get anywhere around town. Dena was very easy to get ahold of once we were there. She checked on us and gave us  recommendations for food and such. I would book at the Hawk's Nest again. Steve also runs tours from Blackhawk sailing. I would definitely go on a snorkeling tour!

Hawks nest is a great choice for accommodation on Caye Caulker. Stayed here for 5 days and used the bikes everyday to explore the island, much easier than going by foot everywhere and it's a short ride to the main strip. Dena and Steve were super helpful and friendly and made our stay on Caye Caulker. The accommodation is nice and roomy with all the amenities for doing your own food or just sitting and relaxing and enjoying the porch and the hammock.

I stayed with Steve and Dena for 24 days and I went snorkeling with "Black Hawk" Sailing Tours 10 times because I enjoyed it so much. I would recommend staying at "Hawks Nest" to any of my friends and family.

We really enjoyed our time staying here. If you want an authentic Caye caulker experience away from the resorts and hotels this is a great choice. We loved having the bikes to cruise around on and explore the island! I would definitely recommend going snorkeling with them it's an amazing experience and well priced. We visited four different sites with great marine life/coral and ate fresh ceviche/fish. The trip was definitely the highlight of our time on Caye Caulker!

We enjoyed our stay at Dena and Steve's cabin, they are great hosts. It was such a delight to have AC in the evenings after our days of exploring Caye Caulker. The complimentary bikes were another great aspect of our trip, we had a blast cruising along the streets and getting a sense of the local vibe on the island. In addition, Dena and Steve took us out on their sailboat for a snorkeling tour which I highly recommend. The space has adequate amenities and was a nice place to stay for a few nights in Caye Caulker. Thanks again!

The place was what we expected; it was clean, the AC was working, the shower had hot water and the kitchen was well equipped. We were able to have dinner every night and enjoy the games (chess, cards, etc.) made available by the host. The location is indeed far from the center but thanks to the bikes it is no problem and you can discover corners that you would not have discovered on foot! We highly recommend it.

Le logement correspondait à nos attentes; il était propre, l'AC fonctionnait, la douche avait de l'eau chaude et la cuisine était bien équipée. Nous avons pu nous faire à souper tous les soirs et profiter des jeux (échecs, cartes, etc.) mis à disposition par l'hôte. L'emplacement est effectivement loin du centre mais grâce aux vélos ce n'est pas un problème et vous pouvez découvrir des coins que vous n'auriez pas découvert à pied! Nous recommandons fortement.

Book this place! Location was great and came with a bike. Cabin had all the amenities needed to have an enjoyable and comfortable time on the island. Neighbors were friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back. Dena and Big Steve were readily available to assist with any needs and always had great suggestions on how to navigate and enjoy the island. Caye Caulker is definitely a slice of heaven. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Really nice experience. Bikes, the square, everything is done to feel good. I recommend snorkeling exploration, the host will offer you wonderful experience

Vraiment une belle expérience. Les vélos, la place, tout est fait pour se sentir bien. Je recommande l exploration snorkeling, l hôte saura vous offrir une merveilleuse expérience

Our stay at Hawks Nest was just perfect! The cabins are rustic, but in a very charming way. Everything is clean and works. The kitchen has everything you would need to cook your own meals. There is even hot water in the kitchen. They even supply all your drinking water. There are several small grocery stores on the island, one of which is within 500 meters of the cabin. Although remember it is an island that grows nothing of its own except coconuts- so everything comes from the mainland. The shower works great, good water pressure and hot water. The airconditioner also works perfectly. The cabin is on a gated complex with an adjacent cabin and the owner's house (Steve and Dena). It is secure and quiet. It is in a local neighbourhood, which we loved. The property is about a 10-20 minute bike ride from the main strip. Two bicycles per cabin are provided- which was great! This place is not in the center of all the action and bars, which we loved because it is quiet and has a real local feel. Dena and Steve were exceptional hosts, quick to communicate and had lots of local insights and suggestions. We even wound up going on a full day snorkeling trip with their tour company and it was great, you even get a good discount! Highly recommend both the place and the excursion.

Perfect spot for our relaxing island vacation. It was very useful having a nice kitchen to cook breakfasts in and a hammock our front to enjoy in the evenings. Highly recommend.

Perfect little nest to spend a few days in Caye Caulker. We have loved the breakfast on the terrace and the nap in the hamac 😉 Deena and Steve make us feel like home

Dean's place was amazing, we had a great time there! We would greatly recommend it, it is an amazing place for the value. It is a little bit out of the way but it gave us a chance to see more of the island!

Do yourself a favor and stay in the Hawk's nest. Dena and Steve are pure awesomeness and we felt totally welcomed. The cabin is confortable, nicely equipted and far from the noise and people (they include bicycles, but still it's not too long to walk). At night, you can put the hammock outside and see countless stars. Make sure you take a tour with Steve, as we had an amazing time sailing all day and snorkeling. He even caught a fish and shared it with everyone that took the tour. We'll never forget it and we'd go again.

Had a wonderful stay at hawk's nest with lovely hosts Dena and Stephe! I highly recommend staying at the place, on a calm part of the island. We stayed 5 nights and enjoyed our stay til the end. Fully equipped kitchen area with everything you need, even drinking water. The best thing: bikes are provided! Dena does everything to make her guests have the best holiday, thank you very much. There is no better homely "nest" to stay :) hope to return one day.

Hawks nest was the best place to start and end my day in Caye Caulker. It’s about ten minutes from the main strip but V and Steve offer complimentary bikes to get us around. V and Steve are both so sweet and friendly. I had a blast getting to know the both of them. I would 100% stay there again.

I liked this place SO much that I stayed even longer!! Dena was amazing in helping me book an extension. Put simply, I really could not have asked for better hosts. Steve made sure to check my bicycle tires occasionally to see if the tire pressure was holding up. I could always count on Steve and Dena for all types of recommendations (they were even nice enough to help me with some recommendations and contacts for my parents who came to visit me!). Being a long term rental, Dena would change the sheets weekly (along with empty trash, do a general cleaning and make sure my drinking water bottle was full) and was awesome in coordinating with me the best time to come by. So on top of being a wonderful value and a great place to stay, Steve and Dena really make this place amazing!!

In all my travels, I have never had hosts as awesome as Dena and Steve. First off, they have created these wonderful cabins that have all the basics covered (hot water kettle for coffee, various pans and utensils for cooking and I've never run out of drinking water, toilet paper, or soap) and more (like a small first aid kit, playing cards, and more than enough hooks, hangers, shelves and drawers to keep my stuff organized so I didn't have to live out of my suitcase). I stayed here for over a month and it was easy for me to cook and work from the cabin. And I love that I'm far enough from town to have the peace and quiet but a quick bicycle ride into town for anything I need. Plus, the grocery store that is 2 minutes away has all the basics for a quick grocery run. Secondly, they are incredible hosts. They have helped me with everything from restaurant recommendations (like finding out about the Cuban guitarist on Monday's at Oasi!), tips on where to buy certain things or a good place to take my laundry (remember - I was here for over a month!) and even guiding me through getting my visa extended. Third, if you are lucky enough to also go out on the boat with them, it is an absolute treat!! In conclusion - If you are lucky enough to find Hawk's Nest available for your visit, BOOK IT!! :-)

Had a fantastic stay at Hawk's Nest! Dena and Steve are great hosts, offering local tips and information and going above and beyond to make sure that we had a good stay. Cabin is clean and comfortable. Cycling around the island on the free bikes was one of our favourite parts so make sure you utilise them :-)

If you stay here, congrats! you just took the right decision, especially if you are looking for some quiet and more local experience. I’m in love with this place. Where all the action takes place it’s just 10 min from there on bike ride, you will enjoy all the ride way till there. Steve is such a host: always with good advice, always smiling, always helpful. He is the Rockstar of the village, believe on that! My boyfriend and I enjoy our stay there! And definitely we will come back any sooner!

Great spot for a true local experience, including barking dogs and crowing roosters. About 10-15 minute bike ride away ( bike included!) from the main part of town. Good bed, all the cooking items you need. Good size fridge and gas stove. Shower had hot water, just not consistently. No hot water in the kitchen sink but easy to boil water In the provided kettle. Water provided for drinking also appreciated. Nice high ceilings made the place seem even bigger. The hammock on the deck was also a nice touch. Groceries available from local grocer and a veg and fruit stand near the airport.

This is our second trip to Caye Caulker and it was even better than the first! Dena and Steve are wonderful hosts and we LOVE the location of their Air B&B. It’s a quiet neighborhood great for relaxing the hammock. They added cable TV which was a nice perk! The beds are comfortable and the cabins are roomy, equipped with full kitchens and nice bathrooms. It really felt like home for 9 days. The best part about Hawks Nest is the hosts. If you have any questions or need directions they are always willing to help you. We love their dog Blackhawk. They add to the already extraordinary experience of Caye Caulker. When we come back we will be sure to book them again. Hawks Nest is the only place we will stay in Belize!

Very nice place to stay. Dena and Steve are very friendly and brought us with there golfcar to the cabin. Pretty terrace and very spacious cabin. They also have a cute dog. We absolutely recommend this place!

Look no further for! Staying with Steve and Dena was the highlight of our trip to Caye Caulker. The suite was perfect for us - the kitchen was great for making breakfasts and lunches. All the appliances were brand new and having the bottled water available was a great money saver. We really enjoyed being out of the downtown area and riding on our cruiser bikes (free of charge) was a ton of fun. We both had good nights rest in the comfy beds and the air con worked great! Hospitality at its best.

Amazing place! We stayed for a full week and Dena and Steve are awesome hosts. The Split is about a 10 minute bike ride away and having access to free bikes made getting around easy. I would highly recommend staying at Hawk’s Nest. Having AC was also a big plus.

Great Location in Caye Caulker that is away from the busy downtown area. Hawk's Nest is located on the south side of the island where all the locals live. It was super safe and by the end of the week the locals and I waved to each other as I passed by on my beach cruiser. Dena and Steve provided a free bike to get around which was great to have. The bike is in great condition and got me everywhere I needed to go. It's about a 10 min ride into town and I loved the free workout. Dena and Steve's place is super clean and comfortable. I will definitely stay here again, as well as recommend this place to friends & family. They provided drinking water, a stove, cooking equipment, a cold fridge and a really nice A/C unit. Dena was on top of getting my room cleaned in the middle of the week by freshening up my towels and bedsheets, as well as cleaning the floors and bathroom :). "Big" Steve and Dena run Black Hawk Sailing Tours which is located right on the main street. I did a full day of snorkeling and sailing with them and I loved it!! It was the best part of my trip; a must do!! They have a great sailboat and have really great pricing. Big Steve has been doing it for 20+ years and knows all the great spots. Steve and Dena gave me great local tips for nice, affordable restaurants and bars, as well as cool beach spots and day activities. Hawk's Nest is a great place for solo traveling, groups and couples. I stayed here solo and found myself chatting it up with Steve and Dena often. They are both great hosts who have a lot of love for Caye Caulker. They alone will make your trip great :). Don't forget to say hi to Black Hawk; the very friendly and cute German Shepard dog who chills in the yard and plays with his toys. Can't wait to come back to Caye Caulker.......Go Slow!!! - Jeremy from Colorado

My partner and I stayed at hawks nest for just over a week and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We were looking to relax away from the rest of the crowds and also get a feel for the culture and get to know some locals. If that’s your style, this place has it all! We spent hot days laying in the hammock on the porch, then got to bike into town for food and swimming, then we got to leave it all behind and come back to a home away from home. Dena was an incredible host! From the moment we got there we felt so welcome! She gave us so much information on local restaurants and things to do, and even some tomatoes from her yard! We took a snorkeling tour with Blackhawk sailing (Dena and her partner, Steve, run it) and had such an incredible time - definitely worth it, and so convenient to do with them if you stay with them too! All in all, we absolutely cannot wait to go back!

We visited Caye Caulker over Easter, and the town was so busy.  It was great to have a place away from all of the noise.  We had access to bikes, and it was an easy ride to and from town.  Dena and Steve were wonderful hosts, giving us many tips on where to eat and what to see.  The accommodations were so nice with comfy beds, lots of space, and a convenient kitchen.  We also joined Steve on one of his sailing tours, and it was so amazing to see the manatees, sharks, rays, and so many fish!

Dena and Steve were the most helpful hosts I've come across on Airbnb! They could not have done more to help us on every account. As the description says it is about a 10min bike ride to the Main Street, but the bikes were ideal for a short cycle (especially as I am 5ft 2 and Dena even had a bike small enough for me!) - plus a really fun way to explore the island. Thank you both again for making us so welcome!

Dena and Steve’s place was perfect for a vacation with my boyfriend. The place is on the quieter end of town (which we loved) but still so close to everything. They provided us with bikes which we rode to and from the beach, food, and drinks daily. Blackhawk (the dog) is a sweetheart! The place itself is nice and had everything that we needed! They have lots of tips, and information about the island. We would stay here again for sure! Thanks Dena and Steve.
