What a great place to stay and enjoy Belize! Perfect location and set up for our group of five. Walking distance to a number of restaurants and you have your own private beach! We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and huge deck overlooking the ocean.

Wonderful stay in a quiet location in Placencia. Everything is provided, even some toys for the kids! It's really nice that there's even a folder with all the activities and restaurants in the area—very convenient! It's wonderful to hear the sounds of the ocean and to take a dip in the sea.

Great place to stay at when you're in Placencia! The house was everything it said it was in the description. The location was in a very peaceful part of the peninsula, and getting around was a breeze, although I would highly recommend renting a car over a golf cart. And watch out for the speed bumps. The sargassum situation was the only downside. But other than that, I would highly recommend staying at Bella Sway when you're in Belize!

This Airbnb was perfect for two families, each traveling with a toddler. Enjoying time on the beautiful deck overlooking the ocean was a highlight for us! The location was great - in walking distance to a number of good restaurants. Lori did a great job of making excellent recommendations. And, when there was a maintenance issue, she had her handyman there in literally less than 5 minutes (so no interruption in our enjoyment). If we visit Placencia again, we would definitely stay here. It was a lovely stay. If you’re considering booking - don’t hesitate. Snap this up if it’s available!

The house was really clean, with quality furniture and objects! The location was sublime. Small private beach. Everything was just like in the description. Absolutely no complaints😄! Thanks to Lorie, great communication with the host. Thanks

We had a fantastic stay at Bella Sway!! Lori had ALL the amenities we could have needed. We loved how private the beach was. Directly across the street from a good bar/restaurant. Lori was a great host and we would definitely stay again!

My group and I had a great time at the home. We thoroughly enjoyed the "book" of helpful information about Placencia and local vendors. We especially enjoyed access to the beach club that is provided as a perk with the house. The location is great because it's quiet and laid-back. We enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home by the sea! If you want to get away to a place to relax, this is a great option. The house is clean, modern, and well-equipped. The beach is out your back door. Lori was super friendly, considerate, and a great communicator. The only heads up I would give is that the doors on the bedrooms and bathrooms are not completely private. Take this into account when traveling with others. Overall, we were very satisfied with this place!
Host Response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review — we truly appreciate it! And thank you as well for your feedback about the doors. All of our doors and cabinetry were custom-built with tightly butted ventilation slats, thoughtfully designed to promote natural airflow and keep the home cool and comfortable in our tropical oceanfront climate. The slats are intended to offer both function and privacy. I’ve stayed at Bella Sway with my own family and never felt our privacy was compromised, so I was both surprised and concerned to hear that you had a different experience. I truly appreciate you sharing this, and I’ll be looking into ways to enhance that sense of privacy even further. Your input helps us continue to improve the guest experience — thank you again for staying with us! Lori

There’s a lot to discover in this small area locally. Lots of hidden gems. Lori‘s guidebook was especially helpful and we were able to find everything we needed easily, to her recommendations.

Our family of 4 stayed for 4 nights and wish we could have stayed longer. The house was perfect, great views, and what felt like our own private beach. Lori has an amazing welcome handbook full of great recommendations. We booked a family photo shoot on the beach, booked a few tours, and went to many of the restaurants based on her recommendations. We originally booked this house over another by because how responsive Lori was to a few of our questions before booking. She was so helpful in helping us plan things out. The house is in a great location on Maya Beach. There are a number of restaurants close by that you can walk to and an easy drive to anything else you might need during the stay. Overall great host and great spot to stay.

Even more beautiful than the pictures! Our favorite part was sitting on the deck overlooking the beautiful white sand beach and water. Absolutely lovely! We went as a group of 5 - three adults and two teenagers. The space was perfect for us. We recommend.

We had an awesome time at Bella Sway. It was great to walk out the back door and right onto the beach with Palm trees for shade! Lori was very responsive, and the home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The neighborhood was quiet. There were multiple nice restaurants to walk to. Maya Beach was a great jumping off point to visit other things in the area, the Jaquar Reserve and the cocoa farm.
