Francis and his family were very welcoming. The place was well kept and in a great location. We were very close to the airport, local supermarket and restaurants. The place was very peaceful and we were able to totally unwind from the hustle of daily life at home. My husband and I used the complementary bikes to explore the whole island and loved the porch for just hanging out in the hammock and patio furniture. Highly recommend Francis and his place?

We were so pleased with our stay. The private, secluded location was a delight to "come home to" each night. The private dock and seating area was an added bonus. It was a very short drive to the center of town so we were close to everything without "being in the hustle and bustle". Francis is incredibly kind and the place was immaculate. Also, 10/10 on the air conditioning and fan. Despite days being 90 degrees with high humidity, the A/C kept our room chilly! Highly recommend staying here and would come back in the future.

I can't say enough good things about Francis and his place! Not only are the surroundings beautiful, but it was an incredibly peaceful location that was still extremely walkable (or bike rideable) to everything that we wanted to do. The little bungalow had more than enough space, was spotless upon arrival, and had a great bathroom with a rain shower head. We spent more than one evening sitting on the deck relaxing. Francis also gave amazing recommendations for local activities and food (check out Elba's Little Kitchen for some homemade Belizian food). If you're considering this spot, just do it! We'll definitely be back in the future and appreciated Francis's hospitality!

Francis was an exceptional host from the very start—he even picked us up from the ferry, which immediately made us feel welcome. The property is safe, gated, and beautifully maintained. As soon as you arrive, you can see the care and pride he puts into his homes. This place is an immaculate little piece of paradise on Caye Caulker. Francis helped book amazing snorkeling and fishing adventures for us, and the bikes provided made getting around the island easy and fun. We walked out to dinner every night—most places were about a 10-minute walk, and even the Split was a pleasant 20-minute walk. This was our first visit to Caye Caulker, but it definitely won’t be our last. You arrive as strangers and leave as friends—Francis’s daily conversations and stories about island life truly made our stay special. Highly recommend!

Of the beaten path a bit, nice.

Host Response

Unfortunately this guest had a little issue and no understanding with the WiFi as the national company had an emergency issue that disrupted the WiFi connection on the island for 24 hrs it was on off. Secondly they got upset as they were making some loud strange sexual sounds that disturbed the other guest this was due to having their unit full open with no regards to anyone else on the property including children. We had to ask to close door and unit up as this behavior was inappropriate.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed including a well appointed kitchen. The wraparound porch was perfect and had a great view of the water. The location is perfect - off the beaten path, but close enough to walk into town. We got a lot of use of the bikes, great for hauling groceries. Housekeeping every 3 days was a really nice convenience. Our hosts were the best part. Francis and his family were warm and welcoming. I really enjoyed chatting with him about Belize and nature. Airport pickup was especially appreciated. Stay here with confidence.
