Our stay at Marly’s Place was a wonderful part of our trip to Belize.  Herbert reached out to me shortly after I reserved the house.  He was pleasant, very responsive and kind.  The house was simply lovely and comfortable.  My party of three had everything we needed while we were there.  The pool was perfect, and as described.  The beach was clean, the water was warm and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.  There were plenty of towels, plenty of outdoor furniture, the kitchen was stocked with all essentials, the beds were comfy, and Herbert made finding the house easy.  He offered to take care of additional things, however, the place was top notch and we needed nothing more.  I highly recommend if you find yourself in Placencia.

We had a wonderful time at Marly’s Place for our honeymoon! The house was a peaceful oasis, and we loved having our own private space right on the beach. The pool was in a perfect location in the shade. We really enjoyed using the kayak to explore the water just off the beach from our house. The house was clean and comfortable and the location was great for getting to lots of restaurants. Would definitely stay again!

Marley's Place is stunning.  Do not even hesitate to book.  Location is safe.  House has fence so there is privacy.  You can walk right out on the beach and there is also a canopy that provides shade.  Pool is awesome for cooling down and listening to the ocean.  You have everything you need to relax and relax some more. 😁

Marly's place is located in the ideal spot in Maya Beach. Very clean and well stocked with any you need. Herbert had many recommendations from restaurants to tours! Our family had the best stay yet in Belize. The pool was so relaxing after a long day. The hammock added to the relaxation with amazing views of the ocean. The water was too choppy to  use the ocean kayak which was a bummer but the lounge chairs and table on the deck made up for it! We felt very safe with the gate in front and back. The grill was very useful! Definitely coming back!

Perfect spot in Belize!! House is absolutely amazing and a great location. Easy to get to snorkeling locations and the house is ideal for couples. Hebert was so easy to communicate with and made the whole trip wonderful. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home and beach; the balcony was so nice with the breeze and the gorgeous view. Herbert was very quick to respond to communication. Highly recommend!

Fantastic location- just dreamy! Very peaceful and nice to be able to walk on the beach and to great local restaurants- our favourite was the Green parrot! Herbert was so helpful and kind. Couldn’t ask for more and would LOVE to go back!

The space was just perfect for 4 people. The location was safe and near grocery stores and restaurants. The beach was amazing and the pool was just perfect. The house had everything we needed and more. The couple of minor questions we had, Herbert was extremely responsive. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of towels and linens. Only one small thing to add, The property to the south is all concrete and any noise over there outside comes right up into the house. We did have one night where those people stayed up very late and were very loud, but we contacted Herbert the next morning and the property manager of the adjacent property and they were quiet as a mouse the next night.

Beautiful house right on the beach! We enjoyed our stay

Great stay in Maya Beach.  Fantastic, private beach and pool. Place is open and spacious. Perfect for 2 couples. Car or golf cart recommended.

Great place, peaceful location. Great for families. We will come back again.

We spent a wonderful week at Marly’s Place! After a leisurely 2.5 hour drive down from the airport, stepping into the house with its epic views and perfect amenities set the tone for the whole week. The pool and beach were just steps from the house - loved having the option of both! Herbert was a great host - reaching out regularly to make sure everything was to our liking. Placencia town is 25 minutes down the road and highly recommend checking out the restaurants at the resorts along the way; especially the Turtle Inn!

The house is wonderful. It has that “wow” factor when you walk in with high beamed ceilings and wall to wall windows highlighting the pool and sea view as your back yard. The house was REALLY clean, and had all we needed for the week - from the stocked kitchen with coffee and filtered water jugs to get us started, dishwasher detergent, a washer and dryer with laundry soap available, and no shortage of towels - much appreciated. The wrap around, covered patio gives both bedrooms access to the back yard. It was so nice having a private beach with plenty of coconut trees for shade. Herbert was great. He provided many suggestions ahead of time as well as in the book at the house. I appreciated the attention to safety as well, something you don’t always see in a rental. The area itself is pretty quiet and Placencia is only a short drive, where you’ll find shops and restaurants. We really enjoyed the week and would highly recommend this place!

The pictures do not do the house justice. It’s very spacious and beautiful on the inside and out. Loved every minute of our stay and already planning our next trip next year to go back. The only thing we were a little disappointed about was we were not able to use the beach as we hoped. The seaweed situation was pretty bad, but according to the locals it’s bad this time of year. Hopefully next time it we can plan to go when it’s not so bad. Other than that it was one of the best stays we’ve had in a long while. Herbert was great with any help or questions we had. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

House was wonderful! Location was great. Loved having our own private beach and private pool. The host thought of everything at this house! It was clean and well thought out. The landscaping was beautiful! Host was responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay there again. There were only two of us but the home would be great to share with family & friends

The place was so large that our group of four could really spread out. Great for extended stays. Nice to have a few restaurants in walking distance while still being rural.

Amazing time. Centrally located    Gorgeous views. Pool is wonderful and so is the kayak.  Our 12 time to Maya Beach and this place was fantastic!!

Me and my cousin stayed for about a week and really enjoy ourselves. Very relaxing and lots to do! Host was responsive and gave recommendations/tips. Plan on returning!

This was our favorite place of the three places we stayed in Belize.  Beautiful, comfortable, and so well stocked.  Easy access to the beach.  Be sure to take a walk north and take out the kayak in the mornings for the calmest water.  We were lucky and found manatees one morning.  Highly recommend!!

Enjoyed our stay-beach was beautiful-try the kayak in the garage! Now a 3 story home next door not pictured, renting Jan ‘25. Their balconies have full view of this home’s balcony & some of the great room. We were lucky that it wasn’t rent ready & the north adjacent rental was empty so we had the beach to ourselves for our stay. The pool was cloudy and didn’t clear completely till our last day, the host dealt with it immediately. It’s mostly as shown in the photos with variances to furniture & overall condition. For the $, TLC is needed for interior (master shower/cabinetry) and exterior furniture/fixtures. They have a nicer couch now than photos show. Liked Pelican Pub for food/drinks, 1-min by car/7-min walk (beach or street). Maya Beach Bistro a 15-min walk/2-min drive, amazing dinner! 20-min drive to Placencia for food, bars & shops. Rumfish-snook & lionfish crudo! Barefoot Beach Bar lively for drinks. For groceries, Publics (8-min drive) was sufficient for food/alcohol.

This is a great place situated right on the beach. The house is set up perfectly for two couples or a family. The house was spotlessly clean, and the grounds and beach were very well maintained. The owner was very responsive to communication. We would highly recommend Marlys Place!

Perfect home in a great location!  House was exactly as described and shown in pictures.  Herbert was great in communicating with us!  Walking distance to grocery store and bakery!   Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful place that had lots to do within walking distance! The view in the mornings from the back patio are amazing! We’ll be back soon

What an amazing home! It was all spotless when we arrived. Directions and check in were easy. The pool was a great place to cool off and relax after snorkel, fishing, Monkey River tours. Several nearby restaurant options, a few less than 1/2 mile away.

Ok first off it's a beautiful house , it looks just like the pictures. I little smaller than expected but perfect for a family of four. Its well organized and clean with lots a towels and beach towels. A washer and dryer which came in handy. The kitchen is large and had everything we needed. The beach was over run with red seaweed and trash. We were there for a week and no one came to clean it. We did enjoy the pool and someone did come to clean that once, which was nice. The pool is small so you can't actually swim but it was nice to have since we couldn't swim in the ocean. The construction is still going on every single day we were woken up around 6:30/7 to loud banging. Lots a guys looking over the fence no privacy so be aware. Overall we had a nice time.

we highly recommend Herbert's place. It is very nice  everything was perfect as in the offer. Herbert is very proactive and always helpful. Just one small thing you have to be aware of, there is a construction site which is a bit noisy during the day. But Herbert wrote in the offer about it so no complains at all.

We loved our stay at Marly’s Place.  Beautiful accommodations and a very responsive and helpful host.  We were traveling with another couple and the location was spacious and gave us our own feeling of “space” while still having plenty of common areas to share.  Pool was great and we felt we had the best of both worlds with the beach right outside the gate.  I will miss the hammock!

The house was beautiful and actually was even better than the photos made it look. The entire property is well kept and clean. The ceiling fan wasn’t working at first and it was fixed within 12 hours of us saying it wasn’t working.

Marly's Place in Maya Beach is absolutely stunning. There are a few great restaurants right there in Maya Beach. I wouldn't call this a walkable area, so it's good to have a car, although the tour companies are good about providing shuttles. It's a ways down to the town of Placencia and the nice beach, but the beach at the house gorgeous although sometimes you have to wade through some seaweed to get to the white sand. The pool is wonderful and the whole vibe of the house and the view is incredible.

Beautiful spot right on the beach.  Beds were comfortable, and kitchen was fully appointed.  Convenient private location.  We would definitely stay here again.  Highly recommended.

This house was perfect and we enjoyed every minute! It was beautifully decorated and felt very spacious. It was extremely clean and very well appointed. Had plenty of towels, tp, and water - which many places do not. The pool was clean and refreshing. We could walk to the little bakery and a few restaurants which was perfect. Highly recommend this house for your stay in Maya Beach. It was a quick drive to Placencia which we enjoyed as well. But of all the places we passed, there was none that would have been more perfect than Marley’s Place. Herbert was very communicative and is super quick to respond to messages. We read about the construction, so we planned our sleep in day on Sunday, then it rained Monday morning so there was no work. We did hear workers on Tuesday morning but we we were up. Our kids in the other bedroom heard nothing and we still had to wake them up to get ready to check-out. Stay here if you will be in the area!! You will love it!

The house was just as described. The host was super responsive. The air conditioning was awesome as it was really hot while we were there. The recommendations for activities were super helpful. Our favorite place for lunch was mariposa, just down the road. Great food, amazing service and right on the beach.

We spent a LOT of money on this house, expecting some luxury and the house itself does not disappoint. The house is gorgeous, very clean, and very spacious. But there were 2 major issues that made this place a huge disappointment and I want to make sure others see this as a warning before they book it. First issue - CONSTRUCTION. The house next door is in what looks to be the early stages of construction. And every week day, starting at 7:30am, about 10 feet from the master bedroom wall, it was LOUD. Forget sleeping in. Forget enjoying the outside of the house and relaxing by the pool. The noise was incredible. And while I cannot blame the owners for the construction, I can tell others looking that this ruined our trip. Second issue - the "beach". It was dirty, small and unusable. They claim it gets picked up, but not that we saw. We basically had to walk down the road to find a place we could swim without trash. It was gross.

First of all thank you for taking the time to write a review. Its great that you loved the house. While we can understand that the construction next door is far away from being ideal, the listing has the information in the listing description as well as under property info "potential for noise" that there is construction on the neighboring lot. We have a yard guy who maintains the property and the beach but not daily but weekly. Depending on the wind, sea grass, etc can be washed up on shore before he gets a chance to clean the beach. The whole peninsula is also dealing with some kind of erosion which the owners tackled in the past weeks. We hope we will reclaim the beach back in a few weeks.

Home was very clean, is beautiful and as described. The home feels very private and has beautiful views of the sea. Pool was perfect. Host was very friendly and responsive. Getting into the sea is a little difficult due to the sea grass. Overall wonderful place.

Gorgeous views right on the ocean.  Very nice place for a getaway.  Pool was clean and maintained, neighbors are friendly.  Only knock is that the AC didn’t work very well, but it is likely a maintenance issue that is easily resolved.  Herbert is a GREAT host and provided invaluable information for first time visitors.

Many thanks for taking the time to review Marly´s Place. We are very sorry about the AC issue. We would have loved to address it if you would have told us earlier and not on the last day.

The house is even better than the pictures portray. It was very clean, nicely furnished and had everything our party of 4 needed. Everything was 5 stars. If there was any detractor for our stay it would be the intermittent construction on the home next door, but that was completely out of the hosts control. The host was very responsive and proactive during our entire stay. Highly recommend!

This house was exactly what we wanted!  Very private, peaceful and beautiful home that had everything we needed.  Close to good restaurants, a market, and an easy ride to the Placencia Village.  Herbert was quick to respond with answers to our questions and gave great recommendations for things to do.  If we ever visit Belize again we would definitely try and stay there!

Huge, comfortable and sparkling clean with everything you need, this is a great house. There is even coffee and bottled water so you can start your day on the right foot. We took short walks to eat and get some essentials at the market; enjoyed the view, porch and beach; and had a quiet, peaceful base for our tours. The laundry was very handy after a wet and muddy (but fun!) night tour at Cockscomb basin.

Wow! Beautiful place!! Great location, close to Placencia and also close to take advantage of inland adventures. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. Amazing kitchen. Gorgeous decks, pool, outdoor areas. Safe with fences and gates. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Couldn’t have picked a better place.

this place knocked it out of the park. it was huge, clean, and just a short distance to town. would recommend getting a rental car, it makes everything 100x easier. would absolutely come back and recommend anyone to stay here! thank you so much for everything Herbert!

Great stay in a beautiful home on the beach. Great restaurants and a grocery store just down the road. The pool was a great way to relax also.

We had a truly amazing time staying at Marly's Place. The place was beyond our expectations. Communication with Herbert was excellent. I would highly recommend that you book this place. You will not be disappointed! We are already talking about when we can go back!

Amazing house with a fantastic view. Maya Beach was the perfect location with great restaurants within walking distance. Mayan Beach Bistro and Swinging Sands were our favorite meals on our whole trip. Herbert was great in answering all of our questions and helping us plan our stay. We will definitely stay here again!

Herbert was a great host. There was an issue with wifi but he took care of it immediately. He was great giving us restaurant suggestions too.

The house and location were absolutely perfect for our family of four! We were able to access everything we wanted and needed easily, and it was quiet and peaceful. The house is immaculate and contains everything you could ever need and more. Herbert is a wonderful host and responds promptly! Highly suggest Doyle Gardiner’s tours at Dtourz in Placencia for awesome excursions- our family took three and enjoyed R&R at the house each afternoon/evening! We hope to come back to Belize soon!!

We could not have asked for a better time. Herbert is an excellent host and the villa is spectacular!  We highly recommend booking a stay.

Stunning sunrise views! Very clean home, very comfortable, the kitchen is well supplied with working appliances for your needs, the pool is clean and fun, the beach makes it an easy romantic walk either north or south 100 yards or so for a top notch dining experience all day long. If you are a morning person, don't miss having breakfast (or just coffee) on the balcony overlooking the Caribbean Sea, an experience not to be missed! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay at Marly’s place. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed.  The swimming pool and direct access to the beach made it difficult to leave the place :) Herbert is a fantastic host, always responsive and eager to help. Highly recommend the place if you are looking to spend some quiet time in a beautiful location.

Beautiful villa with a gorgeous view to wake up to and enjoy during the sunny days.

We absolutely loved our time at Marly’s place, our only regret was not staying longer. However long you are thinking of staying add another few days. The house is so beautiful and has everything you could ever need. It’s so peaceful and quiet, but still close enough to town. We had some issues with the fridge during our stay and Herbert was quick to try and resolve the issues. Would highly recommend staying here!

We had a wonderful week at this beautiful house on the beach. Herbert was extremely responsive to our questions and gave us some great suggestions for tours as well as taxi info.   The pool was sparkling clean, as was the house. Everything we needed in the kitchen was provided. There is a market just down the street for groceries and various stuff. We tried the restaurants within walking distance including the Green Parrot, The Bbq place, and our favorite the Maya Beach Bistro. Would recommend Doyle at Placencia Tours (his info is in the house guide). We had 3 fun outings with him - Laughing Bird Caye snorkeling, Monkey River Tours, and the Jaguar Preserve walk and river tubing. Fun!

beautiful home right on the beach with amazing views of sunrise and moonrise. 20 minute cab ride from placentia and great restaurants within walking distance. Herbert is wonderful.

Lovely beach house in the quieter part of the Placencia peninsula.  Great restaurants within walking distance.

This place was the perfect vacation rental for four of us.

My family loved our stay here! It was perfect for enjoying the beach, pool and what Placencia has to offer while maintaining privacy. The home is gorgeous and the landscaping around the yard is attractive. My son could not get enough of the pool. I was happy to let him swim all day with the beautiful oceanfront balcony. Again, we loved it!

LOVE THIS PLACE!  It's like your own private resort with a good sized pool that has a deep end and the perfect temperature.  Being right on the beach was a true highlight!  You can walk to a variety of restaurants and the little market.  We rented a car and drove into Placencia(about 15 minutes) to tour the town and drove to tour the jungles(national parks) about 1-2 hours.  It was an amazing experience.  Friendly people, yummy food,  beautiful weather....we absolutely loved it!

Marly’s Place was incredible! It exceeded our expectations and we loved spending a week there.  Melissa was beyond helpful with directions and recommendations. We would hands down book Marley’s Place for our next Belize vacation.

This beautiful place is paradise...I would love for everyone to experience something this amazing. Private beach, swimming pool and Melissa ( she is wonderful!) Thank you for letting us stay here. Bruce and Willow

This house is perfect for a family of 4.  Spacious, updated, all the amenities.   Location was perfect for us, 15 minutes from Placencia with all the bars and restaurants.   Maya beach is so nice and quiet but still fun.  A few great restaurants and the bowling alley is great.  SAFE.  We loved this location.  Melissa was a great host.

This is a great place with a large, well equipped kitchen and living area and a good sized bedroom on each side. It’s right on the beach and has a small pool. The area is quiet but close to several restaurants, a grocery store and even a bowling alley - and is 20 min drive from Placencia Village where there are a lot more restaurants. Melissa could not have been better as our host. Quick responses, local tips and help arranging a sailing trip were outstanding.

My husband and I had a wonderful few nights here on our honeymoon trip to Belize. The pool & view were definitely highlights for us and I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

This is an outstanding place to stay in Maya Beach near Placencia. The house is lovely - 2 bedrooms and a huge communal space plus expansive deck with a stunning view plus sun deck at the pool plus a shady beach palapa. What more could you ask for? Everything you might want is there - well equipped kitchen, charcoal grill, washer and dryer, beach towels and linens, and plenty of space for everyone. The house was also situated near a grocery store and near fantastic restaurants Ifbyou didn’t want to cook for yourself. Melissa the host had great recommendations for tour vendors, restaurants and local hidden gems (we loved the local waterfall). Her communication was fantastic - prompt and accurate.

Amazing place to stay!!  I can’t rave enough about how wonderful our time was here!  The pool, private beach, and huge balcony. Melissa was beyond helpful, answering any questions responding right away. When my husband asked where a cutting board was bc he couldn’t find it she showed up with one she had gone and bought.  Super safe area, quick drive to the town of Placencia,  great local restaurant everywhere, especially across the street for us to get carry out when our son went to bed early.  My only regret is we didn’t stay here for our whole trip (we moved up north to Ladyville for the last week).

This is a wonderful location with a spectacular view. The home is spacious and comfortable. The pool is an awesome place to refresh and watch the ocean. The rancho is a great place to eat and enjoy the breeze.

Marly's Place was perfect for our family of 4.  Not too big and not too small and Maya Beach is a pleasant, quiet place. Having a pool and being right on the water was great as we could go for a dip in the cool pool whenever we wanted (especially on account of the seaweed accumulation) and were treated to great breezes from the ocean.  The house was convenient and we could walk to grocery stores to stock the house or to great dining.  We particularly enjoyed Mango's just up the street.  Singing Sands Inn just south has a nice restaurant and rental kayaks.  If you have a car, it's only 15-20 min to Placencia Village with more dining, banking (read ATMs), dive shops, etc.  Host Melissa was professional and responsive and the house clean and well-appointed.

Sometimes I would like to keep things a secret, and Marly's Place is one of them.  Wonderful location, amazing view of the sea, beautiful pool, an excellent host in Melissa, and the place is even more spectacular than the pictures show. Perfect to be on Maya Beach and close to great restaurants (Hungry Gecko is a must), shops, fun things to do (Jaguar Lanes!) and a perfect distance from the Village.  So, in giving it the rave review Marly's place deserves, I sincerely hope it is available the next time I am back- because we will return.

This is a beautiful home.  The views are great.  The amenities spectacular (you even have your own pool)!  Loved the backyard foliage on either side of the home - it makes for a private, secluded feel (hope it stays that way).  The only negative that we can think of and one that other people may not consider a negative, is that the road out front is the main trek to Placencia.  There is a fair amount of building going on as well, so the road is accessible and well travelled during certain times of the day.  This home has everything you could want or need for a relaxing vacation.

Spent a glorious week at Marly's Place with my two best friends.  The house is new, beautifully furnished, and well appointed with upgraded amenities in the kitchen.  The view of the Caribbean is amazing and a great place to enjoy spectacular sunrises.  We spent a good portion of the week relaxing and reading poolside, a must for our vacations.  Marly's Place is conveniently located on Placencia Peninsula within walking distance of numerous fabulous bars and restaurants.  The locals are friendly, fun and very helpful.  Melissa was a great host and very helpful prior to arriving by answering our numerous questions.  We ventured out on our own to explore Belize.

Melissa is an excellent host. She helped us getting started with recommendations in the area, the home was well prepared for us, got from friends a power adapter for our friends from Europe (who had forgotten theirs), and during our stay she always responded immediately with any questions we had. Most importantly, she put in an outstanding extra effort, when the power when out and no electrician was available (as they all were busy fixing properties) so she reset the electrical system late in the night in pouring rain guided over the phone by an electrician. Thanks for making our stay so pleasant.

Amazing place! Must rent a car FYI. We loved this house. We felt very safe. About a 15 min drive to placencia village. There is a market and a few restaurants within walking distance. Very clean house and he communication with Melissa was great!
