Home in Caye Caulker

Absolutely no complaints wonderful host and the stay was amazing. Definitely would book again. Perfect location!

Minerva was very helpful and informative. He had lots of good recommendations which we were grateful of. House was very clean and modern.

We will definitely be staying here again.

I stayed here for my birthday trip with friends and we absolutely loved the space! We were able to relax in the morning on the patios, the living room was spacious, and sat together one evening for dinner in the dining room. It is centrally located and could get anywhere within 5-10 minutes. Our host was very responsive and kind if we needed anything or had a question. I would highly recommend staying here and plan to stay again next time I come to Caye Caulker!

Thank you for the amazing review.  It was a great pleasure to host you all. You're always welcome to Casa Esmeralda.

Great location and walkable to everything! The bedrooms and living spaces are large. Several nice decks to enjoy and each room has its own AC unit. The master bath shower also has insanely good water pressure! Host is fantastic and will help with your needs :)

It was a pleasure to host you all. Hope to do it again in the near future.

This house is fully stocked and very beautiful Minerva was very helpful in every way u would need I would definitely come back here

Absolutely amazing stay! The home was beautiful, spotless, and exactly as described. The pictures did not do the house justice. The location was spectacular - within walking distance of everything. The host went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. This home is on our list of must return to visit! Thank you for making our stay memorable!

Great location and really clean property, we had a great time using this as our base

will 100% book here again. host was very responsive and included amenities were very thoughtful and added the perfect touch to our stay. chef kareems is right down the street and is a MUST try for local food. everything is walkable, no golf cart needed. thank you for the great stay!

You're very welcome Ashley it was a pleasure, and thank you very much! Looking forward to hosting you again.

Casa Esmeralda is a beautiful home in a perfectly central location on the South Island. The accommodations exceeded our expectations, and we felt completely at ease throughout our stay. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation. We were warmly welcomed, and the home was thoughtfully and comfortably appointed.

Thank you very much Kristi. You are always welcome back. Hope to see you all very soon.

This was a perfect choice for the six six of us who stayed. Within walking distance of all the amenities. Our hosts was very hospitable and met personally at check in and was available to answer any questions we had. We would definitely book this house again.

It was wonderful! Loved the house and Gil was very helpful!

Clean and beautiful home. Close to everything. Felt right at home.

The perfect place on the island for your own private home. Walking distance to everything. Gil was an amazing host with the best local knowledge and ensured we had everything we needed and even helped us find last minute excursions. It was perfect.

We made the most special Christmas memories at this home. Perfectly located & extremely cozy with everything you need to feel right at home. Gilbert was incredibly gracious, responsive, and helpful. Thank you for such an incredible stay. We’ll remember this trip forever.

Beautiful house in a perfect location. We will definitely be back.

This home was perfect for our family of 6, well equipped kitchen and the place was spotless!  The location is great, right in the heart of town, but mostly quiet,  some music at night.  A lot of good restaurants very close by, loved Ems Hideaway, Elbas and Reina for ceviche, I heard Hibisca was great too!  Not much for swimming beaches in the area, but we had a great snorkeling experience with Carlos!  Highly recommend this home!

This is absolutely one of the best places to stay on Caye Caulker! The location is super walkable to everything and also just far enough away from the main drag that it is peaceful and quiet. The space inside was great for our group - plenty of space for relaxing on the couches and playing games at the dinner table. The host (Gil) was very friendly, gave us local recommendations, and provided plenty of drinking water so we didn’t have to buy any. Honestly, I don’t have any cons for this place - I’ll definitely stay here again if I come back to Caye Caulker!

beautiful home in prime location. beach and restaurants near by. Gil was a great host and most accomodating

Loved our stay here and would DEFINITELY stay here again. Everything was exactly how it was listed. We felt at home. Everything was very clean. Gil was very responsive, even arranged for a taxi for us and brought fresh towels during the middle of our stay.

Thank you very much Leila.  Hope to Host you all again in the near future.

I will be returning!  This place was awesome, so clean and comfortable. Close to everything we wanted to do. For us it was no need for bikes or golf carts.  This location is right in the middle of everything but once you get inside, you forget all about that. Your own private home. The host was great.  He met us there, gave out fabulous recommendations, very responsive when needed. Thanks so much!  We will be back in the near future.

You are welcome ! It was my pleasure.  Hope to see you all  again!

Casa Esmeralda provided an exceptional stay, offering a perfect blend of comfort and convenience. The property was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, and thoroughly stocked with all essential amenities. Gil and Minerva clearly put a lot of care into this property, and it showed.   Its prime location allowed for easy access to Caye Caulker's restaurants and attractions. We highly recommend Casa Esmeralda for a memorable and enjoyable vacation.

Thank you vey much Sharon. Hope to see you all again soon!

this is in a perfect location, very central and walkable to everything you need in caye kaulker! my friends and I had an amazing time here Gil, our host was very nice and helpful, and helped us arrange for taxi’s to and from the port. Our stay was perfect!

We had a very enjoyable stay at Casa Esmeralda. Minerva‘s son Gill communicated with us before we arrived, medicine at the house, and was available for questions and help throughout our stay. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and spacious. The bathrooms were particularly nice. The beds were big and the linens were good. Gill even provided us with clean towels a couple of times during our stay. There were six of us in the house was spacious enough that we never felt crowded. It was also located with very easy access to stores and restaurants. I would highly recommend staying here

Gil and Minerva were fantastic hosts! They were incredibly responsive and accommodating. The location is great, easily walkable to anything you would want to do on Caye Caulker, but not in the main bustle. We would stay here again in a heart beat!

This place was amazing! We loved the location and quick access to so many restaurants, stores and shopping! The house is the nicest place I’ve ever stayed anywhere in Belize and that’s after 4 times traveling the entire country. You won’t be disappointed and Gil is an awesome host! Make sure to get a reservation at Pasta per Caso ( best food we had on island ) get a smoothie at Smooths, pineapple chicken quesadilla at Barefoot Bar down the road!

Thank you Tyler. Hope to see you soon mate. Cheers!

The only bummer was that Minerva(Gil) was away from the house for almost 2 days and so we could not do laundry or get extra towels. ( I know it's not a hotel but with all of the sand,  one towel doesn't last long. ) He had stated that he would be at the house each day we were there.  A very nice guy but not quite as attentive as we would have liked.

Hi Bruce, so sorry for my absence, but I explained to your brother l had something important to do on the mainland. From what I can recall Julie did do laundry on the second day she was there, and before I left. I told her were the key was for the laundry room. Also I clearly remember giving you guy clean towels, when I got back from my trip. Again so sorry for any inconvenience. Thank you, Gil.

This place was beautiful and spacious and really made our trip! I can’t recommend staying here enough.

Incredible place in an incredible location. It's really close to all Caye Caulker has to offer, but just far enough away from the split to provide some privacy. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and the air conditioning, water pressure, and all those creature comforts are top-notch. If you're looking for a three-bedroom house on the island, you couldn't do any better and we'll be back!

We had an amazing time at Gil’s house. It’s right in the middle of Caye Caulker village, very conveniently located, only a 5 or 10 minute walk from almost anywhere on the island. The house is across from several delicious restaurants, and a small convenience/grocery, which made any last minute needs easy to access. Gil was incredibly gracious host, and an overall cool and nice guy. There is a separate small apartment under the house that he uses sometimes, and is available to answer questions. Tips for visiting: *Wear bug spray and take it in your bag when you’re out, especially in the evenings. We knew this, but met a lot of people who didn’t, and had been bitten up by mosquitoes or sand flies. *Bring a large refillable bottle, otherwise you’ll be given plastic bottled water to drink. *It’s warm and humid, and many restaurants are shaded outdoor seating only. Pack comfortable, cool, light clothing, a sun hat, and comfortable open toed shoes. We had a blast here! Would return.

Thank you Kelly. Had a blast hosting y'all! Hope to see y'all again soon. Take care.

What stood out the most was that Minerva responded quickly to questions. The house is beautiful! I recommend this place for your stay in Caye Caulker.

We loved this Airbnb! Perfect location in caye caulker. House looks even better than pictures. Lot of space and everything we needed for comfortable visit. Probably the best accommodation on the island. Very responsive and helpful host. We recommend a stay here!

Thank you very much David. Hope to Host you again in the near future. Take care .

Great location, close to everything but quiet! Gill had great recommendations. Don't think twice, book a stay here and you'll love it.

Highly recommend! Casa Esmeralda is right in the heart of downtown Caye Caulker. You can walk everywhere and then pop back home for some peace and tranquillity whenever you want. Every morning I got up early and walked around the corner to watch the sunrise from the beach. The house is immaculate and the bathrooms are modern. The master bath shower has great water pressure although the hot water doesn’t last too long if multiple people are taking showers at the same time. The beds are comfortable. The air conditioner splits worked extremely well in all of the rooms. Our host Gil was attentive and friendly. He arranged for taxi service from the airport which was a nice touch. Enjoy!

Comfortable clean and very convenient for activities. Easy walk to everything. Host on premise for easy questions. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Gil.

We had a great stay at the house. Gil was wonderful and the place was great. Everything is super easy to walk to from the house. Overall this experience was wonderful and as described. Thank you Gil!

As soon as we walked in we felt right at home at Gil's house. It was comfortable, clean (the switch out of towels mid week was a great touch!) and Gil himself was so hospitable the entire week. Four of us were working remotely during the week and there was enough space to spread out during calls, the internet was unbelievably fast and the location on Main Street for quick bites and coffee could not have been better. Our time in Caye Caulker exceeded our expectations and it was partially due to Gil's home. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful home, steps from the beach, local shops and restaurants. Gil welcomed us at the front door to let us in and provided a few helpful instructions and recommendations. Great host, great location highly recommend!

We were so pleased with our stay at Gil’s place. Just a few blocks from the water taxi, right on the main strip of shops and restaurants, steps from the ocean, and somehow quiet and private all at the same time. All of the rooms have AC and the kitchen is well appointed. Did I mention that it’s right across the street from the best restaurant in Caye Caulker? We will certainly be back!!!

Can't beat the location!  The house is right in the midst of all the restaurants, shops, and ferry landing, making everything walkable (don't even need a golf cart).  Because the house was in the middle of everything, it was a bit loud in the evenings, but that didn't bother us much.  The owner was super helpful with recommendations and even had a taxi come pick us up at the airport to bring us to the house then met us at the house to let us in, so that was very much appreciated.  We would definitely recommend this house if you are planning to stay on Caye Caulker!

It was just a perfect stay The landlord Gil made sure we felt at home, helped with any questions. The house is clean and really well maintained, the kitchen is fully equipped with a high level. We really enjoyed ourselves. Just notice that you have to pay extra 9% taxes, we didn't really know.

היה פשוט אירוח מושלם. בעל הדירה גיל מאוד דאג לנו שנרגיש בבית, עזר בכל שאלה. הבית נקי ומתוחזק ממש טוב, המטבח מאובזר ברמה גבוהה. ממש נהננו. רק צריך לשים לב שיש לשלם אקסטרה מיסים בשיעור של 9%, אנחנו לא כל כך ידענו.

Casa Esmeralda is THE place to stay when in Caye Caulker. The proximity to restaurants, grocery stores and both sides of the island make it very convenient for everything you might want or need to do. The home was very clean and comfortable with all the modern amenities you should need. The Host, Gil, was very responsive when we needed suggestions for dining and snorkeling tours (Carlos Tours!). He was very gracious and friendly and accommodated our special request for distilled water for a cpap machine. I would definitely stay here again!

Super!   spacious and clean!   Get a golf cart and enjoy the island.

Enjoyed our stay here. The place was clean, equipped with everything needed, and the bed was comfy! I would highly recommend

This was the perfect place for me and my 3 friends to stay. We all had to work at some points and there was plenty of space to spread out and not feel cramped. We rented a golf cart for the week and it was so easy to get around since the house is right next to everything! Would definitely comes back.

This is a beyond perfect house for a family vacation. Very well equipped kitchen, great bedrooms, three  porches, and AC when needed. Gil is a superb host.

I just want to start this by saying it was my fourth time visiting Caye Caulker. I absolutely love the island.  This house was gorgeous and in the perfect location next to everything. The AC was wonderful and so were the showers.  Gil had a golf cart taxi waiting on us when we arrived on the island which was very nice. He was waiting on us at the home when we arrived.  That’s when he told us he was staying at the home as well in the basement. The fact that he was staying on the premises was listed nowhere. He also asked us for the tax in cash instead of through Airbnb and specifically in Belize dollars. This was also mentioned nowhere in any of the listing information and there were no messages after booking that included that either.  We didn’t even have the address of the place for declaration forms until we asked. He knocked on the door the second morning of our stay telling us to turn off a porch light (whoops we forgot one light) and then said he wanted the tax that night. I messaged him another time to let him know the TV wasn’t working, which we didn’t care about at all, we just didn’t want to be blamed for it. He responded by saying he would look at it and for us to turn off the AC. Which was probably the third time he told us to turn off the AC when we leave, and we had been doing it. Basically we felt like we were being treated like children. I book a lot of airbnbs and always treat the places how I would want my home treated. All in all, it was a nice place to stay if you want the owner of a home looking over your shoulder the entire time you’re trying to relax on vacation.

Very quick with responses and super accommodating! We loved staying there! Perfect location for breakfast and dinner restaurants within walking distance!

Casa Esmeralda was the perfect house for our group in Caye Caulker. Short walk to the Split or anything in town. Great open space, good AC and nice and clean. And great communication with Gill the whole time.

We had such an incredible stay in Caye Caulker!! This home was spectacular and Gil's recommendations around the island were perfect! The house is the in the PERFECT location, incredibly clean, great big kitchen & living spaces and spacious bedrooms with great closets & bathrooms. Wifi & AC worked great! We really appreciated Gil's hospitality and warm welcome! We can't wait to come back to Belize and spend more time on Caye Caulker!

This house is very comfortable with attractive, modern amenities.  The beds were very comfortable, the A/C worked great, the bathrooms are gorgeous.  There is a full kitchen. Gill, the host, is very helpful.  We will definitely stay there again.

Looking for the perfect location in Caye Caulker.  Look no further than Casa Esmeralda....located just steps from the beach and restaurants.  The house was super clean, the kitchen well-equipped, and the bathrooms generous in size with a rain-shower head. Good wi-fi, Netflicks (but who would need them when the world outside is so beautiful). A/C was welcomed after a day at the beach. But again, we would return just for the location!!!  PERFECT!!!!

Extremely clean with some nice touches; good coffee and excellent advice on the area.  Host was extremely responsive and made our trip a breeze.  Would definitely return.

Perfect spot, close to everything! Gill was a great host and provided a lot of helpful info about Caye Caulker. House is clean, well equipped and very comfortable. Will definitely return!

This place was fantastic! Even better than we expected. Super helpful too; recommended some great restaurants and tours.

Great location in the middle of town.  Everything is in walking distance!  Gil was accommodating and helpful with all our needs.  Wish we were there longer!

The perfect location if you want to be in the town on Caye  Caulker, close to everything but behind a privacy wall.  Gil was very responsive and helpful.

Great place! Very spacious and clean. House had everything we needed. The host was always making sure everything was okay. Would definitely book again.

Fantastic stay!  Everything was great and super clean!  Great location and a great host!  We really enjoyed our stay and will be back soon!  Great for a family!

Very clean place and Gill was informative and gracious. The air conditioning went out in the living room area which made it uncomfortable at times. We were informed about this upon arrival that this happened due to a power outage on the island.

This place was perfect. Great location, clean and spacious. We enjoyed our stay along with all of the recommendations on places to eat, see and do. Thumbs up!

Gil's place is VERY nice and the location is FANTASTIC. He is a helpful host on a wonderful island. We can't wait to go back!

Stop looking!!!, if Casa Esmeralda is available for your stay in Belize?, rent it now! I’ve been going to Caye Caulker for almost 20 years! This is the spot! Affordable, clean, safe, and in the middle of town on the main strip. Great people watching and walking distance to everything! Gil the host is the real deal! Like I said been staying on the island for a long time and he was still able to help me cut some corners and answered my messages within the hour when I had a question or needed anything. Always felt safe and well taken care of, even brought up some clean towels for us each day! My highest recommendation! you’re welcome, ha :)

The house is amazing! Pictures do not do the place justice. Amazing location, spotless, and amazing service. Perfect for any sized group and amazing value for the money! 

Well located, clean and spacious. Excellent place. 

Caye caulker is a beautiful place. Casa Esmerelda is one of the best places on the island. Gil will point you to the best sites and restaurants. A group of 5 of us went and greatly enjoyed our stay.

Gil was a terrific host who couldn't have made us more welcome to the island. The house is really centrally located and provides easy access to all the hot spots Caye Caulker has to offer. The house was the perfect retreat and base for our New Year's Eve vacation. Would certainly stay again!

Gil was very responsive, easy to work with and a great host once we arrived. The house is just as its described and seen in the photos. Casa Esmeralda is one of the biggest houses in the village proper and the location just can not be beat. It is literally on the main street and just a few blocks from anything that you need. We are going back to Caye Caulker in December and we will definitely try to score the house again!

Casa Esmeralda is easily one of the most beautiful houses on Caye Caulker. Ideal location for a chill stay on the island, beach, restaurants, shops, everything is walkable. We spent 5 days on Caye Caulker, and we had a blast! Gil was a great host - when we arrived early, we was there to welcome us. He had great recommendations for restaurants and shopping, and checked in infrequently just to see if we needed something.  Thanks Gil, would stay at Casa Esmeralda again any time!

Hi Gil,  We had a wonderful time.  I agree with all the reviews already posted.  A great place in a perfect locations with all the comforts we needed.  I would love to return - already dreaming of how to make it happen again next year.  Thank you for your easy going ways and making us feel welcome.  Have a great year!

Hi Joann, thank you very much for the great review  I"m so glad you guys love the house and had a great time on the island. It was my pleasure to host you and your family. Y'all are welcome back anytime, so make it very soon!

Very good experience, a very nice roomy house that is kept very clean. I would definitely recommend it. 

This place was amazing.  Great location on the island and very helpful hosts. He has great recommendations on local places to go and who to use for tours,  dives,  etc.  The house was perfect for a group of 5, we loved it. I would highly recommend this place to everyone.

This place was amazing!!!!  The pictures don't do it justice.  Very clean and secure, and Gil was absolutely fantastic!  The house is in an amazing spot on Caye Caulker- less than a 5 minute walk to restaurants, the water taxi, and beach.  Definitely will stay here again when we return!!!
