Villa Mirador - Villas for Rent in Hopkins, Stann Creek District, Belize

Villa Mirador was amazing, it was like we had our own full resort (it’s so spacious!). Sara helped arrange a chef and gave other recommendations. We swam in the pool, enjoyed the hot tub, kayaked and paddle boarded in the ocean, bicycled around, enjoyed delicious dinners with Chef Aaron and team every night <3. Juan, the care taker that lives on property, was amazing, welcoming, and kindly shared some fresh coconuts with us. We rented a van to drive down from Belize city and the drive was super easy. There are a few grocery stores to grab drinks and snacks. We had a golf cart as well that was nice for small groups to get around in. Our Belize vacation was truly 5 star and the whole family loved it, many of their first time traveling abroad from US. We experienced some wonderful food and culture in town, but also did a snorkeling trip (Happy Go Luckie Tours) and went hiking in a nearby park/reserve. We would highly recommend Villa Mirador and Belize to all!

This was our second time back to Villa Mirador in 4 months. We took our kids then our friends. This house is everything and more. We had Chef Aaron who hit it out of the park with his food and service. Juan stays is at the house and is so helpful and sweet. Hopkins is a great little village and the people are so friendly. We wanted something authentic and cultural, not touristy. Rich and Sara are delightful hosts. We will definitely be back!!!

Amazing home right on the beach. Great for multiple families wanting separate spaces but great communal balconies, pool, and beach. House has bikes, kayaks, sups, and other fun stuff. Sara and Rich are great hosts - Juan is the man. Kept the beach clean with a sargassum algae bloom. Town of Hopkins’s has some good restaurants, but we rented a van a did a couple days in placencia which was beautiful. We used DTourZ from the recommendation from Sara. We used chef Aaron for a couple dinners which we good. Overall, great home which was also very clean. Fabulous family vacation.

Villa Mirador was pure paradise! The property was spotless, the beds were comfy, we had everything we could have possibly needed.  The best part of our stay, was the groundskeeper Juan! He was such a joy and we will miss him greatly!

We can't say enough about this place! It was beautiful, great location, had everything we needed and more!!! Juan was an added bonus!! The house was extremely clean! Beautiful inside and out!!!!!

Amazing owners and stunning home with a fabulous private beach  and pool! You can’t go wrong with Villa Miradoor!🌴

Fantastic location and gorgeous home. Communicative host, helpful caretaker. Lovely!

What a fantastic stay! We were a group of 3 couples ready for a nice relaxing vacation and that is exactly what we found at Villa Mirador. The grounds were immaculate and the property was well thought out. From the amenities to the floorplan to the onsite groundskeeper, Juan, there was little left for want. We travel as a group annually to a new country each year and this one has set the bar high. If we ever return to Belize this will be the location of choice. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Absolutely awesome! place to stay! Sara and Richard we're super responsive and very helpful before and during our trip. great hosts! John was way helpful to have on site. He helped take care of us and answered all our questions! Loved the house. It was so amazing. The bikes, paddleboards, and kayaks were all awesome. We felt like it was worth the money we paid. Honestly a little piece of paradise there! The only rough part is the sand fly bugs! Just be prepared when traveling to Belize, use bug spray or coconut oil from day one!

Our stay at Villa Mirador was impeccable! We travelled with our 3 adult children and their significant others so 7 of us total.  This house is amazing with thoughtful design. It over delivered in every way. Juan was onsite to help with anything we needed.  He literally became our friend. The proximity to the beach from the pool was perfect. This house was equipped with everything we needed. Chef Aaron made this experience so much better than staying at a resort. Then the access to the village was close and easy. The people of Hopkins were friendly and fun. Sara the host gave us great recommendations from the chef to snorkel excursions. She was incredibly responsive to my 1000 questions before we arrived! We truly hope we can come back. It’s worth every dime!!!

Just finished a six night stay at Villa Mirador. The house had plenty of space for two families with four adults and four kids (ages 10-13). The location was perfect. The house had everything we needed and was very well thought out. We enjoyed fishing from the beach, kayaking, and some snorkeling. Would definitely stay again!

Where do I begin? This place is truly a slice of heaven on earth. The location is stunning, the house is spectacular, the pool and hot tub were perfect in every way. Juan, the caretaker, literally saved us one evening when our car got stuck on the muddy roads due to heavy rain. He and Richard, the owner, were exceptionally friendly, kind, gracious, and went above and beyond in every way to make sure our stay was as good as it could be. We hired the very talented Chef Aaron Zuniga per the host's recommendation, and he made our absolute favorite meals of the trip, lovingly crafted with local, fresh ingredients at an incredible value. Hopkins is a very special place with a rich culture and the nicest local people you will ever meet. We always felt safe, secure, and relaxed everywhere we went. The only downside was the biting sand fleas, but not much to do about that! We hope to return again someday. We will never forget this incredible place! Thank you!

Juan, the live-in caretaker of the house, made us feel right at home. This place was truly paradise, and we hope to come back again in a few years. We are so happy we chose this place for our first international holiday.

We had two families with 4 adults and 5 kids (age range between 7-11). This place was even better than the pictures. Very large space with plenty of room for all 9 of us. There is a bonus “room” with bunk beds that is small but perfect for kids, plus there are roll away beds for kids as well. The location is about 2 hours south of Belize City and on the southern side of the Hopkins Bay village. There are resorts, restaurants, and food markets in the village. It is a short car ride away but easy to get to. We got some great suggestions from Sara for day excursions and it was beneficial to rent a car. We also used Chef Aaron for a few meals. Juan was awesome as well. He answered all our questions and made it feel safe knowing he was there! The location is super safe, especially with kids. The pool, hot tub and beach were awesome as well. Everyone had a great time! Highly recommend it!

Our group of 10 (including four kids) had a wonderful stay at Sara's villa. Everything matched the listing description, and the home was very clean. Juan, the villa's caretaker, made check-in and check-out easy and was helpful throughout our stay. Sara helped us find a fantastic chef for one dinner. The location was perfect, particularly the fact that it was right on the water in an area with sandy ground, kid-friendly depth/waves, and very few other people. You'll need some form of transportation to get into town (~10 minutes by car; ~20 minutes by golf cart), but there is one beach bar/restaurant within walking distance (open Thurs-Sun). I'd highly recommend this listing for large group/family vacations.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. The villa is well equipped, spacious, and gorgeous. The pool is spectacular,  and the private beach was a blast - shallow and safe for the kids to play. Hopkins is a delightful village to visit - incredibly friendly, with many good places to eat and adventure to the reef. Worth every penny!!

I’d have a hard time believing there is a nicer spot in Hopkins.  A short drive to lots of restaurants (one open on the weekend a short walk away).  The property itself is beautiful, combining a hot tub, pool and beach with spacious living.  Multiple kitchens to cook on your own or you can also hire a chef (who the host graciously connected us with).  It was the perfect spot for our two families with lots of room to spare (four adults and three kids).

100% five stars!  There were 10 of us staying at Villa Mirador and it was magnificent.  The house was gorgeous and the owners and caretaker were amazing answering questions. This is a great spot to unwind with a large group.  Highly recommend renting a car as Hopkins is a bit remote and  you won’t find Ubers. Juan was a great care taker and kept the pool and grounds in perfect condition. The beach was a great spot for volleyball and Juan set it all up for us.  The weather was a bit wet and with it brought lots of sand flees.  These little buggers are brutal. Bring insect repellent and oil to get them away.  Great time was had by all!  10 out of 10

This house is a dream! It’s got a post card view that we enjoyed so much. We saw manatees while snorkeling off the beach. There were kayaks, paddle boards and bikes to keep us entertained. We spent countless hours on the balconies, hot tub and lounge chairs just soaking up the view. And we loved Juan! He’s the best. We would definitely come back.

Villa Mirador was simply majestic. The setting for this “house” is absolutely breathtaking and all of  the furnishings inside make you feel so comfortable. Each of the kitchens are fully stocked and have everything needed to make meals for the family. The outdoor space is perfect for lounging and water activities during the day and just as perfect for those late night hot tub vibes. I’d highly recommend getting out on the paddle boards and kayaks, and keep your eyes peeled for the manatees snacking on the sea grass beds below. The host Juan is such a sweetheart of a man that’s very respectful of your space while being very helpf when called upon. We loved our time in Hopkins at Villa Mirador!!

The home is beyond beautiful and as nice as the pictures are, they don’t do it justice. It was exquisite, every detail, and was such a pleasure to stay. We will definitely be back and hope to stay again. The onsite care taker Juan was so nice and helpful, the home was impeccably clean, the beds were so soft and comfy and very detail was perfect. The pictures truly don’t show how beautiful the property is. Thank you so much for letting our family stay and build such beautiful memories.

Second time at Sarah‘s home, beautiful place, will continue to come back.

Villa Mirador was one of the best places I have stayed. It was very spacious, clean and beautiful. There were ten of us and we had room for everyone. The pool was clean, the beach was right there. Juan the caretaker was very responsive to our needs. I loved the place and will definitely be going there again in the future.

The villa is paradise! Not only is it beautiful, but it was also the cleanest we have ever stayed in. The hosts and Juan and Rosie were absolutely amazing!! We had a very relaxing time and enjoyed every minute!

WOW. That was my first impression as I drove up to the villa. This has been by far one of the best family vacations I've ever had. The villa surpassed all expectations and was even better than the photos in the listing. There was plenty of space for my family, making our stay incredibly comfortable. The highlight of our trip was meeting Juan, the property manager. He was exceptionally attentive and kind, always available to answer any questions we had. His dedication truly enhanced our experience. One day, my nephew and I were playing with a ball provided for the pool, and the next day, we found it pumped with air and ready for us to use again. Juan's thoughtfulness and attention to detail were outstanding. This was an unforgettable experience, and I am already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Juan and Sara, for being such wonderful hosts and making our family vacation so special.

The property is beautiful and very well appointed, even for a family with young children. Plenty of pool and ocean toys and a solid amount of kitchen appliances and utensils, which comes in handy when you plan to cook some meals at home. The local property manager is very helpful, responsive, and kind and he maintains the property to a high level. Would certainly recommend Villa Mirador to anyone who is Loki g for a higher end property in the Hopkins area.

House was absolutely beautiful! We loved that the beach and ocean was literally steps away from the house. Juan the groundskeeper was awesome! Would definitely stay here again!

Beautifull villa!! We are from Europe and had a few great days in this house with it’s spectaculair view!

This villa is one of the most beautiful villas I’ve ever stayed at. The pictures do not do justice- it has exceeded our expectations! My friends and I were stunned when we first walked into the villa. The location is a short drive to great restaurants and bars. It is also very quiet and private which my company enjoyed. Thank you so much for having us and we hope to be back again in the future!

Wow! What a great property and wonderful experience! From the reccomendations and help before we arrived to the property manager who was invaluable during our stay. The house was fantastic, pool excuisite, exatly as it looks in the pictures. Both the owners and the propoerty manager were super helpful with reccomendations and helping us navigate the area. When (not if) we go back to Belize, we will stay at Saras Place...10 out of 10

To say my family enjoyed Villa Mirador would be a huge understatement. The property is stunning with luxurious finishes, just how we like it. It also has such a peaceful vibe with the pool sitting on the beach. We loved waking up to the sound of waves. The final aesthetic call out is the tremendous detail and character of the home. Fantastic job to the architect and designer. Finally, Juan, thank you for showing up the way you did. You’re such a kind soul and we greatly enjoyed just saying hello every day.

Thank you Dorcy! You are alwaus welcome at Villa Mirador.

Property was absolutely gorgeous. Pictures are nice but the place is soooo much better in person. Sara was extremely patient with me and answered all 50 million of my questions. Juan was always available and an excellent host. My group consisted of 10 people ranging from ages 5 to 65 and everyone enjoyed the property. Thanks for hosting my family and I, we will be back!!!

Villa Mirador was even more stunning  in person. Juan is the caretaker that lives on sight. He was there for everything we needed and helped grab us groceries before we showed up because we got there later in the evening. The pool and hot tub were well taken care of. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. Between Sara and Juan it made our visit very successful. Sarah suggested gettoknowbelizeadventures for tours and they were great. I would highly recommend staying here.

Villa Mirador was an absolutely amazing stay. I typically vacation in Belize once every few years and stay at a private villa via Airbnb. This house was one of the nicest i have stayed, not only in Belize but all my travels. There was ample space, a private beach, and the private chef recommended by Sara was icing on the cake. There are 4 bedrooms, one of which is smaller and does not have an attached balcony. All other bedrooms are absolutely amazing and each one is better than the last. The caretaker Juan is on site and was extremely helpful, kind, and took care of anything and everything we needed. Would 10 out of 10 recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing vacation in Belize.

I'll start with: photos that can not capture just how gorgeous this property is! There were so many details that made our experience over the top, from the caretaker Juan to versatile layout of this home. Spacious, well decorated and maintained with lots of amenities! We loved the private beach and pool with outdoor wet bar. What a gem!

Villa Mirador exceeded all of our expectations -- the house is so beautifully spacious and airy, with three separate, fully-stocked kitchens in each master suite, plenty of plastic barware for the poolside bar, comfortable beds and couches, beautiful art, and plenty of space to both spread out and be together.  There were 5 adults and 3 children, and the house easily could have accommodated a couple more.  The location was perfect for us: about 15 minutes from central Hopkins, quiet and private, with plenty of pool toys for the kids and beach toys for the adults.  The pool does not have a shallow end; it's about 5 feet deep, but there are seats and ledges along the edges that the non-swimmers could gravitate to, and small enough to easily monitor the kids.  John, the caretaker, was so thoughtful and helpful.  We wouldn't have changed a thing, and we can't wait to come back!

Totally worth it!!! The property looks even better in person! Astonishing!! John, the house manager was awesome. Sara was great! We got a lot of helpful information on rentals & activities nearby. Everything was 10/10. No complaints. I’ll be a return customer for certain.

My stay here has me wanting to return and stay here only!
