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.

We loved the MoodyBlue Cottage!  Such a great location...right on the water and biking distance to fun restaurants and beaches.  Francis was a great host who answered all of our messages in a timely and helpful manner.  The home was cozy and clean.  We would definitely return to this gem on Caye Caulker!

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!

This place is a gem, nicely away from the main beachfront strip but still walkable. Clean and well maintained, Francis clearly cares about his property and had great local recommendations.

Perfectly tucked in and a short bike ride to town. A great find. we will be back!

great place to stay on the north side, it was very windy on the south side when we were there so it was nice to be protected from that. easy bike ride to everything you need

Beautiful place with private beach and a very diligent host! Glad to come back 😊

Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit privatem Strand und ein sehr bemühter Gastgeber! Gerne wieder 😊

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!

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.

Francis's place was perfect! Spacious and comfortable in a location that was off the main path but easy to get to restaurants and the main road. The bikes were so great to get around on! Francis was a wonderful host, providing a pick up from the ferry and getting us set up on a snorkel trip. We had an excellent time!

Francis' house is in a very quiet area of Cayo Caulker. Francis picks you up at the ferry terminal and provides you with bikes to tour the island. Please note that the only suitable place for swimming is the Split. Next to Francis' houses is a magnificent pokes place

La casa de Francis está en una zona muy tranquila de Cayo Caulker. Francis te recoge en la terminal de ferries y te proporciona unas bicis para recorrer la isla. Ten en cuenta que el único sitio apto para el baño es el Split. Al lado de las casas de Francis hay un sitio de pokes magnífico

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.

100% would recommend this place. It is an absolutely beautiful secluded location. It is both private and yet close to everything. Francis was incredible with answering questions. He gave amazing recommendations for things to do, rental shops and restaurants. Will definitely be coming back!

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay at Hidden Treasures!  The cottage was super clean and exactly as pictured.  The complex is gated and we felt very secure.  Plus, the street is on a dead end, so no street traffic noise.  Bicycles are provided which was a huge help getting around.  We enjoyed our stay on Caye Caulker!

This is, simply put, our favorite AirBnb we've ever stayed at. Francis is a great host and he took us on a fabulous snorkel tour. Our time on Caye Caulker was incredible and Francis' place was a big part of that.

We spent 3 nights in moody blue cottage and absolutely loved it! Would have loved to stay longer. Caye Caulker is a beautiful and fun place to visit and Francis's cottages on the water are the perfect place to stay. Very clean and nicely decorated and have everything you need for your stay. And they come equipped with 2 bikes, which are perfect for getting around town. We stay in a lot of airbnb's, Francis's place is one of the best! ! I highly recommend!

From the first minute, I reached Francis he responded me surprisingly fast. I must say it’s impressive. I don’t know how he does everything he does and keep it all flowing impeccably he keeps his property in pristine condition. He even met us at the dock and brought us himself back to the Airbnb. His staff was also very helpful. I would recommend his property 100% one thing to notice is it’s out of town enough to be nice and quiet yet close enough to walk in he does provide bicycles which we used. They were in excellent condition and we were able to get to the things we need to within 10 minutes.I’d love to come back and stay here again!

We spent a week in the Moody Blue Cottage and it was fantastic! Francis was so helpful and welcoming from the moment he picked us up at the dock. He obviously takes great pride in his properties and it shows as they are immaculately maintained inside and out! We loved having coffee every morning on the wrap around porch looking through the coconut trees out to the ocean. He has such a quiet and peaceful spot at the end of their lane. We scheduled a snorkeling trip with Francis, who is also a Marine Biologist, out to the Hol Chan Marine Reserve and it was stunning! If you're going to Caye Caulker, I highly recommend staying with Francis and Keisha. They are magnificent hosts!

Thank you Francis for hosting us. We had a one night stay here and it was wonderful. The property is well maintained, the cottage was cute, clean, modern, well outfitted and very comfortable. This is a perfect place for a one stay or an extended stay. The bikes are perfect for getting around, and Francis even gave us a lift to the airport on our departure day. Great host and great property! We would highly recommend.

Francis maintains his properties - unlike other areas we saw.  They are immaculate and modern.   You can walk around in beautiful, clean sand...there are plenty of chaise lounges to sit on.  It's very close to town and the bicycles make it easy to get around.

Great location,  clean accommodation as well as the grounds. Use of bicycles was great and Francis was nice about arranging a taxi to and from the water taxi dock.

We had a great time. The cabana had a view of the ocean and was clean and super comfortable. Very quiet at night. A quick bike ride to town. We would highly recommend staying here. The snorkel tours with francis were amazing. Stop shopping on air bnb and book this place. We will be back.

Very good place.. The host greeted us at the airport and when we got to the place he explain everything to us, and even suggested places to go and he was very responsive. The place was quiet but yet close to everything. Definitely recommended.

Francis was a wonderful host and provided transportation to and from the airport. The bikes provided were very helpful to get around the island. Beautiful, quiet location. The best place I stayed in Belize!

This was a Hidden Treasure! Francis and his family are so nice and friendly, they made me feel right at home. I couldn’t have asked for better accomodations! The cabin was clean and was equipped with everything I needed. The location was beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. When I come back, I will book this cabin again!!

My wife and I loved our stay and our host! Definitely a Hidden Treasure! Highly recommend

What a lovely stay with Francis! His place has everything you need including bikes. He was very attentive and even picked us up from the dock. If you are considering staying at Francis’ place, don’t hesitate!

Wonderful stay at Francis's cabin on the south side of stunning Caye Caulker. Comfortable and very clean, with a great patio and awesome views of the water. Francis was a great host, even arranging a taxi for us from the water taxi station. 10/10 recommend for anybody looking to get out to this magical part of the world.

Spotlessly clean with all the amenities you need. Local coffee & beer was a nice surprise. The property was quiet and private with a great ocean view.

This cottage was by far our most comfortable stay while traveling in Belize. The bed was so plush, we just melted into it every night. Very clean, drinking water (and beer!) provided, boutique soap/shampoo, right on the beach… perfection! The location is a bit of a walk from the restaurants and shops, but it’s definitely quiet and the host provides bikes to borrow. Can’t wait to visit Caye Caulker again!

Honestly, the pictures don’t do Hidden Treasures justice. The grounds are beautiful, the kitchen small, but adequate with GOOD knives, containers to store food in, etc. The house and the property were squeaky clean and well-maintained. We loved walking out on the dock and watching the salt water crocodile hunt. AC and hot water were great. The hammock on the porch is a great hangout spot. Francis met us upon arrival and gave us all the details/advice we needed. We absolutely loved our stay and the bikes provided made going to town easy and carefree. Hidden Treasures is 2 turns off the beaten path and we loved that for quiet and safety, though CC is probably the safest Caribbean destination I’ve ever been to.

Francis was a great host and the rental was exactly as described. Francis arranged transportation from the docks and met us at the property when we arrived. He showed us the unit, gave great instructions, and all items and descriptions were exactly as in the post. As others have mentioned, the location is away from the busier parts of the Caye, which was perfect for us. The grounds are extremely well maintained and Francis and his family are very responsive, detailed, and are great stewards of the land. We even used Francis (actually is son) for a half day snorkeling trip and were extremely happy and impressed. If you are looking for a quite, but very accessible, location with a great host, you will not go wrong with Francis. Thank you for a great week and all the best to you and your family.

We loved our stay, it was an absolute fantastic place and very relaxing. Easily walkable into the main area of town. Having courtesy shuttle from the water taxi was great we absolutely would love to stay again!

The Bay Blue Cottage was a perfect home base for our stay on Caye Caulker. At the end of a quiet street and behind a gate, it was very safe and peaceful. Francis and his family are meticulous hosts; everything was clean and tidy. We did not cook during our stay but definitely could have in the well-appointed kitchen. Francis went above & beyond in helping us with transportation on the island. We had a great stay. Highly recommended.

first this property is immaculate. Francis has a whole team of people to make sure the rooms are clean, beach is pristine, and all your questions are answered. you feel like family the moment you walk in. the bikes provided are perfect to get around and saves youoney on taxis. also you're a little bit off the main path, so the property is quiet and as safe as could be. I had an incredible experience and would never stay anywhere else when coming back to Caye Caulker. lastly, we utilized his team for a snorkel adventure and it was one of the best I've been on. he is a marine biologist and only takes small intimate groups. it was amazing. 5 stars all the way. couldn't recommend this place more.

This was one of the best choices we made on our trip to Belize! The cottage was great, exactly as advertised. The location was exactly what we hoped for -- just far enough off the main stretch to be really peaceful, but incredibly easy to get everywhere on the south island (especially with the bikes Francis provided). And the grounds around the cottage was lovely -- we loved relaxing on beach chairs by the water. (Our favorite bonus was the beautiful tree growing out of the water nearby, which served as an entire bird habitat.) Francis was an amazing host -- very supportive with recommendations and information, everything we needed to have a great time on the island. He even offers a marine life tour -- he's a marine biologist and knows his stuff, and will help you have an educational and fun time snorkeling and viewing marine wildlife (while being more environmentally conscious than many other tour companies). Highly recommend! We hope to be back again!

We have been traveling along the gulf coast for a couple months. Started in Cancun and worked our way down the coast line into Belize. Stayed here for a week and have to say, this place has been the cleanest and most cozy of all our stays. We were picked up at the water taxi and taken to our place. We were met with a very clean place and lovely grounds. Very friendly staff. There was beer and wine in the fridge waiting for us.  Great internet on site. The bed was comfortable and we had everything we needed in the kitchen to make a couple dinners. Came up with a UTI and the host took us to the doc and provided transport back to the water taxi. We really enjoyed our stay and loved the entire island. When we travel back to Caye Caulker, we will see if this place is available again. Loved the secured fence around the homes and the “off the beaten path” of this location. Had two bikes available to us during our stay. Felt very safe and would very much recommend this place.

We had a lovely time at Francis’ property. It is beautiful, clean, well-located, well-stocked and Francis is a very generous and communicative host. He picked us up from our ferry, arranged for a taxi for our departure, left us with some beverages in the fridge, and was very easy to reach throughout our stay.

What a wonderful place! Francios was a welcoming host who was helpful and knowledgeable about Caye Caulker and its wildlife. I really enjoyed the serenity of the location and the abundance of birds. Bikes were provided for the short ride to town and exploring the island.

Beautiful setting, regular cleaning of the unit and very well kept grounds much appreciated.  The bikes were great!!

I’m personally very disappointed that you actually gave us a 4 star overall You didn’t mention that we provided courtesy pickup courtesy bike, free beer and wine as a gift package. Also didn’t mention that you got 3-5gal purified water which I’m 100% certain no other establishment would even provide. Didn’t mention you never paid for the 3rd 5 gal as is on our house rules, also you asked for extra soap bar which we don’t provide but did just to not have any back and forth and to make you stay smooth. Overall we don’t rate over guests badly even if they do stuff that doesn’t go with our value and rules, I told my wife our cleaners that you guys weren’t the most sociable and friendly so to respect your space.

Loved Caye Caulker! Francis was helpful and his property is beautiful! The bikes were amazing. Definitely coming back!!

Was only there for a short time but the place was great. And as everyone else has mentioned - the use of bikes was really nice. Road the whole island many times in my short stay. Nice warm shower was nice too in the chill evenings.

Beautiful spot on the island, one of the nicest! The property is very well maintained and Francis was very attentive regarding any concerns/questions. The bikes are an added bonus that Francis provides, which is a necessity on the island. Note: Swimming (beach) is only suitable at the Split on Caye Caulker Island.

Place was fantastic spot to unwind. Very walkable but,  the bike came in Clutch. Will be back next time.

This place is perfect, you have everything you need, even a comfy king bed and a hammock to watch the sunset on the porch. Nice dock at the end to listen to the birds and spot some sea life. Bikes available making it easy to get around town. Beautiful views right out the window. Very quiet. I would recommend this place 100%! Only thing to note was the miscommunication of check-in, I did not receive instructions until 1 hour before check in, which did not come thru on my phone due to poor service being on the ferry.

Property is very well maintained and bikes were a bonus

The accommodation was comfortable and well cared for.   The kitchen was well equipped and there was fresh drinking water provided. King size bed which was comfortable.  It is short walk to get onto the main street which gives you access to Caye Caulker. Francis very kindly left of us some local beer which was appreciated.  Also left in the room was Off Spray as we forgot ours.  You definitely need to bring Off or Deet as there are a lot of sand flies.  You may want on consider antihistamine to compact the itching or bites.  Although there is a sandy area to sit and relax, this not a beach per say as it is walled off.  You do not need a golf cart as the property provides bikes for your use.  Caye Caulker is a small island.

Absolutely recommend this place. The location is brilliant, very peaceful and relaxing but within a short cycle of a few minutes (bikes are provided for free) of restaurants, bars etc. The sunset was beautiful. Francis was a brilliant host - very friendly, responsive and giving us plenty of local recommendations. The inside of the cabin is also great - well equipped kitchen, good bathroom and huge, very comfy bed. All spotlessly clean.

Great place to stay in Caye Caulker. Simple, but with everything you need. Special mention to the free bike loans and the super comfortable king bed. We had the best sleep. Francis is very responsive and super helpful.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. The cabana was in great shape, very comfortable, and in a beautiful setting. It is located in a quieter part of town, which we really appreciated, right on the water. The provided bicycles made getting around very easy and enjoyable. Francis was extremely responsive, kind, and friendly. We would highly recommend this place, and hope to return again soon.

Very good price for the location, bikes are available for free and the amenities are very close and accessible. The apartment comes with everything you need to cook and the TV offers several local and international channels. High-performance air conditioning and bathroom, as well as the splendid shower. Especially a big thank you to Francis and his wife for accommodating us to the dates, last-minute change very appreciated. We occupied the pale blue cottage by the sea and wow wow wow with sea view and comfortable location, perfect for a couple. We will come back for sure. 💖🥰☺️

Très bon prix pour l'emplacement, des vélos sont disponibles gratuitement et les commodités sont très près et accessibles. L'appartement vient avec tout le nécessaire pour cuisiner et la télévision offre plusieurs chaines locales et internationales. Air climatisée très performante et salle de bain, ainsi que la douche splendides. Surtout un gros merci à Francis et sa femme de nous avoir accomoder au niveau des dates, changement de dernière minutes très apprecié. Nous avons occuper le chalet bleu pâle près de la mer et wow wow wow avec vue la mer et confortable emplacement, parfait pour un couple. Nous reviendrons à coup sur c'est certain. 💖🥰☺️

Extremely satisfied. I really enjoyed my stay!

We booked a last minute getaway to Belize. I'm originally from there. It was exactly what we were looking for! We wanted somewhere quiet, our own place, with a kitchenette, AC, a king size bed, and away from the hectic tourist area of the island, and by the water side. This place hit every check mark ✔️. Additionally, there were free bikes that came with the rental and that was a major money and time saver for us. We didn't need to rent a cart and we got to and from the split in about 5-7 minutes. Francis is responsive, picked us up & pointed out spots to try out. The sheets and linen were spotless and smelt so fresh and the bed was comfortable for us. A/C worked perfectly and the shower was nice and warm. Bonus! There were 4 Belikin beers and a bottle of wine there for us, what an extra touch. Oh and my favorite part? We stayed there 6 days and after 3 days they have housekeeping come in and have the place cleaned up like it was our first day! Felt so good not to have to clean!!

We spent 4 nights in the accommodation. We arrived much earlier than the specified check in time and it wasn't completely cleaned yet. We were still able to leave our things and go for a bath. Check-in was then earlier possible. The kitchen is fully equipped (incl. Blender and freezer). It was very nice that Francis gave us 4 beer and a bottle of wine. Coffee is available. The place is very clean. The bed is large and very comfortable. There are 2 bikes included, which is very convenient, so in a few minutes you are in the lively center and in the accommodation you still have it very quiet. Francis was very nice and helpful. It is recommended to stay here.

Wir verbrachten 4 Nächte in der Unterkunft. Wir kamen viel früher als die angegebene Check In Zeit an und es war noch nicht ganz fertig geputzt. Wir konnten trotzdem schon mal unsere Sachen abstellen und zum Baden gehen. Check In war dann früher möglich. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet (inkl. Standmixer und Gefrierfach). Sehr nett war, dass uns Francis 4 Bier und eine Flasche Wein geschenkt hat. Kaffee ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber. Das Bett ist groß und sehr bequem. Es sind 2 Räder dabei, das ist sehr praktisch, so ist man in wenigen Minuten im lebhaften Zentrum und in der Unterkunft hat man es trotzdem sehr ruhig. Francis war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es ist empfehlenswert hier zu übernachten.

We had a great time here! I was apprehensive because I’d never been to Belize before, but there was nothing to worry about because everything was taken care of for us to have a great trip. We stayed in a little cabin, there is a kitchen and a comfortable porch. My favorite part was that two nice bicycles were available for us to ride around the island which is the perfect way to get around to the beach, restaurants, and stores. I would definitely recommend Caye Caulker and Hidden Treasures!

Francis was a wonderful host, and his place was immaculate. We felt comfortable and safe. He went above and beyond as a host. The amenities were the best we experienced in Belize.

Francis was extremely hospitable and helpful! The cabana was very comfortable and the 4 Belikins were a nice treat. Stay here for a great experience away from downtown in the peace and quiet.

Francis has created an excellent hosted experience. the cabins are beachfront, bed is large and comfortable, and he himself is friendly and very knowledgeable about the ecology of the area.

This cottage was everything and more then we expected! There are only a few spaces on the property so private, quiet and peaceful. Francis is awesome! Super kind and friendly and went above and beyond letting us keep our luggage on site and letting us use bikes after our checkout while we waited for our flight. We would totally stay again and will be recommending this cottage to friends and family. Really good value too!

Caye Caulker is an amazing island..the people are very helpful and so friendly. Francis met us at the dock and drove us via golf cart back to his place..its absolutely perfect..quiet, beautifully situated right on the water...the sunsets are spectacular! We stayed in Moody Blue cottage and it was everything we needed, clean, well equipped and a very comfortable bed..there was even cold beer!! Francis suggested some local restaurants and we were not disappointed..we are looking forward to returning again..hopefully soon!

We spent four nights at the BayBlue cabana and enjoyed everything. It was very clean and had all we needed and expected. Francis was wonderful. We loved sitting on the porch in the evening and especially loved watching all the birds returning to the small mangrove island at the end of the dock. It was one of the highlights of our trip, listening to the birds at sunset on the water there. It was very entertaining! Due to a knee sprain a week prior, I was very appreciative of the use of the bikes to ride into town and happy that we were a bit out of town for the peacefulness. We found all the locals to be so kind and friendly. Our three weeks traveling took us to Ambergris Caye, Hopkins and San Ignacio. Caye Caulker was my favorite beach location. Thank you!

Francis takes great care of his property, the place very clean, private and peaceful. you can lounge under coconut trees and look at the ocean. free bikes make it very easy to go around. appreciate the tips he gave for diving as he studied marine biology and also instructs diving. Francis kindly let us store our luggage after we checked out. we will definitely book his place again in future!

Would highly recommend! Very comfy bed, gorgeous property with sunset views, and Francis gave us great local recommendations. Thank you for such a great stay, Francis!

For the wife and I this was the perfect place. Super slow and chill. Francis maintains his properties in extremely good condition. The neighbor hood vibe is much better than the tourist treatment on the main roads and some really sweet neighbours and children to visit with on the way into town! That said there is not enough room here to describe Francis & and his wife, their knowledge, hosting capabilities and work ethics are exemplary!  Do not miss the opportunity to stay with them!

My husband and I stayed in one of the cottages for 7 nights during our honeymoon. Everything went great, the space was clean and everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. The bed was really comfy, we used some of the streaming services a few times, and got a lot of use from the fridge and kitchenette. The bikes we were able to use came in very handy if we needed to get somewhere quick. We ended up renting a golf cart the last half of our stay because the rain had the roads rutted pretty bad, but we were allowed to park it right next to our rental. We would highly recommend staying here and will definitely consider it again when we return!

Francis was an amazing host. He is very responsive and helpful, and the property was absolutely stunning! It was a very quiet location, and it was within walking distance to the center of town. Having access to the bikes was also a plus because it was easy to navigate the island. I would definitely recommend staying here!
