Listing should read “rustic cottage in quiet area on the ocean”. And should be half the price. There were lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, as advertised, but many things were falling apart. AC didn’t work in 2 bedrooms, but that was fine. One of the bathrooms didn’t have a knob on the door. The fridge and stove worked, and there were plenty of (mismatched) dishes. The “beach” had a lot of gunk both on the sand and in the water. There are paddle boards and a kayak but no warning about the 8ft crocodile in the water! The responses in the chat from Airbnb had incorrect contact and check-in info. Desmond next door was great - runs a restaurant and bar out of his place and is really friendly and helpful. And quiet after 10pm like clockwork. He also has a boat and will take you places for a fee.

I’m accustomed to staying in well-maintained and updated properties, so I wanted to share some constructive feedback for future improvement. The home itself appears quite old and would benefit from remodeling and general enhancements. In particular, the bathrooms are due for renovation, and the water system needs attention, as the water pressure and overall reliability were below expectations. That said, Belize is a beautiful destination and we truly enjoyed the location and the country overall. With some thoughtful upgrades and maintenance, this property could be significantly improved and better meet the expectations of guests who are used to modern standards. At its current state, this house would not be my first choice, but I hope this feedback is helpful to the host in planning future improvements.

Nel complesso, l’esperienza è stata positiva. La villa ha camere confortevoli e spazi comuni ampi e funzionali anche per gruppi numerosi. La comunicazione con i proprietari non è stata sempre semplice: il contatto indicato nell’e-mail di conferma non è corretto, poiché quella persona non gestisce più la proprietà, e le risposte del proprietario arrivavano talvolta con un po’ di ritardo. Durante il soggiorno ci sono stati alcuni episodi di mancanza d’acqua a causa di un problema alla pompa di pressione. Fortunatamente la situazione è stata risolta in tempi rapidi, ma è stato comunque un piccolo disagio. La spiaggia privata purtroppo non è utilizzabile: è invasa da alghe lasciate macerare al sole, che generano un odore piuttosto forte appena si esce di casa. Inoltre, non vi è chi la ripulisce e questo rende impossibile viverla appieno. Questo problema, va detto, è comune anche alle altre spiagge dell’isola. La presenza di zanzare ha reso poco piacevole trascorrere del tempo all'esterno.
