Guest access

Guests have full and private access to the entire villa, including all indoor and outdoor living spaces, the pool area, and direct beachfront access. From the moment you arrive, the home is entirely yours to enjoy—whether you’re lounging by the pool, cooking in the fully equipped kitchen, relaxing under the rooftop palapa, or waking up to ocean views from the bedroom balcony.

You are welcome to use the pool, beach loungers, rooftop area, and all guest amenities throughout your stay. The villa was designed to give you a sense of freedom, space, and privacy—making it easy to settle in and feel at home.

The only areas not accessible to guests are the caretaker’s apartment and a private owner’s closet inside the villa. The caretaker apartment is located above the storage and utility room near the front of the property. It is a self-contained space with its own entrance and will not interfere with your use of the home or outdoor areas. The internal locked closet contains owner belongings and is clearly marked for your awareness.

As with all coastal properties in Belize, the beach itself is public by law, which means people may occasionally pass by on foot. However, the beach in front of the villa is quiet and typically uncrowded. While we cannot prevent individuals from walking along the shoreline, you are welcome to kindly ask others not to use the villa’s private loungers, enter the pool area, or come onto the property. The pool, deck, and rooftop are exclusively for registered guests.

This balance of private access and public beachfront ensures that you can enjoy a peaceful, personal stay with uninterrupted views and easy ocean access—while still respecting the open nature of Belize’s coastline. Whether you're seeking total relaxation or a base for exploring the Placencia Peninsula, you’ll have everything you need right here.
