Beachfront vacation rentals in Placencia

We visited Placencia during Tropical Storm Sara (Nov 2024). As we have never been in a tropical storm (snow blizzards are what we are used to), it was a panic when traveling into one with our 2 children. All we ever want is for them to be safe. Tracy was kind to let us check in a couple hours earlier for peace of mind. Thankfully - the storm hit north of us and the weather improved through out our stay. We love the location - watching and listening to the waves facing the Caribbean, and then having the lagoon on the other side. My kids swam every day in the pool, even when it was pouring rain. Rosa, the caretaker, was extremely friendly and helpful. We would 100% stay here again next time we visit. The use of the kayaks was a great perk. We didn’t use the bikes.

Andrea was a great hostess. She was very attentive and helpful. It was very comfortable for two people, Super well appointed. The sunsets from the lanai were spectacular! Make sure you take advantage of Edward, the juice man, who delivers fresh local juices, and the fish vendor who comes by from time to time. There was great birding from the lanai! Having access a 10 minute walk away to a resort on the ocean side with the breeze, the palm trees, and a restaurant was fabulous. We were there during an unexpectedly wet “dry season“, which made the bugs problematic. The airport noise was a little more than we expected, but you get used to it pretty quickly, and there are no planes flying at night.

The cabin is right on the beach with sea view. Quick to reach from the bus stop or the water taxi dock and yet in the middle of the coastal town. For me, it was the ideal place to stay.

Great property with many options for multiple families/groups. We had a group of 18 and rented 3 houses, all just steps away from each other. The space has a perfectly small pool, nice deck area, and is so quiet. It was clean and looked exactly like the photos. We did not get daily maid service and every house in our group ran out of necessities (toilet paper). The water from the faucet is drinkable and the toilets can take toilet paper. The showers don't get super hot, but are soothing with hot weather. TV/wifi was easy to navigate and Beth was extremely responsive. The kitchen does not come stocked with any food/spices. Pick up salt,pepper, butter, oil if you intend to cook. I highly recommend you ask for a cook for some meals. A breakfast fed 16 people and was $150 usd (and delicious). Rent a golf cart & pay to have it dropped off and picked up. Lots of fun to be had in this house!

What a beautiful oasis. Chris is a lovely guy who was really helpful and interesting. If you’re looking for peace then it’s off the beaten track enough that you will be surrounded by nature and chilled vibes. Felt lucky to stay here. Will definitely be recommending it to all people I come across in the coming months! Thanks Chris and the team 😊

We enjoyed our stay at Marsh Madness. The property was beautiful and offered everything needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We had the best of both worlds to include a swimming pool and the Caribbean Sea (kayaks provided). It was a fantastic base camp for all of our adventures in Stann Creek and the Toledo districts and it was easy to find and access. The residence comfortably housed five adults and the kitchen area was great for cooking and socializing. The balcony overlooking the sea was probably my favorite. The host was receptive and always there if we had any questions or needs. We had a great stay and hope to return soon!!!!

Michelle and Ed are the best hosts! They helped us with anything we needed and made us feel at home. The space is absolutely gorgeous. There were drinks and treats waiting to welcome us after a long day of travel. We enjoyed the pool daily and the view of the ocean can’t be beat. The location is perfect. It’s close enough to walk to stores and restaurants, but just a short drive from everything else. We highly recommend this listing and can’t wait to book it again.

The unit we stayed in was spacious, right on the beach but not touristy and the grounds were maintained daily.

We loved staying in the one bedroom suite. It was just the right size for the 2 of us. It was the first time to Placencia. We loved the location, an easy walk to the main sidewalk or down the main street. Several grocery stores and many fruit stands in walking distance. It is far enough away from the busy bars that it's quiet and relaxing. We loved the vibe of Placencia. We would stay here again.

We stayed in the mermaid cottage and it was lovely, clean, and comfortable. But the true treasure were the caretakers, Jose and Sylvia. They were friendly, patient, and very very helpful. Jose gave us recommendations for very unique Belizean experiences that we never would have found otherwise and helped us with even our most high maintenance needs/requests with a smile. They both really went above and beyond and felt like family by the end of the trip. We I didn't particularly love the rain shower in the bathroom. One of us has thick curly hair and it was very difficult to rinse. It would be awesome if the hosts invested in a detachable shower head to go with it. Also a sad reality is that a lot of garbage washes in from the ocean. The caretakers do their best to keep it clean but it's a nonstop task and there are only 2 of them. I would love to see the hosts hire atast one more caretaker since it's a lot of property to manage. Otherwise no notes.

Placencia is an absolute gem. Incredible community with great Caribbean Sea access, lots to do and great food and bar options. The property itself is far enough away from the hustle bustle but close enough that it’s accessible by golf in a few minutes. Note: you will need to rent a golf cart, but Captain Jak’s was great to rent a 6 person cart. There are a couple of nice restaurants easily walkable - Mariposa and La Dolce Vita. Both very nice! Hearing the waves as well fall asleep at night was fantastic. And the beds were firm and some of the better quality i have stayed in at an Air BnB. Kitchen had what we needed but we mainly ate out. The outdoor balcony area was amazing and the pool was fantastic for the kids. Very quiet and peaceful complex grounds. Would recommend!

Herbert place was peaceful, clean, and inviting. We all 4 enjoyed our stay and loved being greeted by the local 2 dogs everyday. The morning sunrises were amazing. We took the kayaks out twice in the morning and enjoyed the view and all the beautiful birds feeding in the shallow sea floor while the sunrise glistened. The beach was clean, but everyday plastic would be swept in by the tides. Not a lot and no fault of the host Herbert. My husband and I would pick it up everyday. Only because we are activist about a clean earth. I wish all people would recognize this problem. Thanks Herbert for the great communication and your beautiful home. We all had a great time.

We loved this place! Britany and her staff were so accommodating. Beautiful views, great location, pool and restaurant were so close it couldn't have been more convenient. The pizza at the Bohemian was amazing! Highly recommended. Thank you!

Our concierge, Jessie, was fabulous from before we arrived in Belize. She made contact to be able to meet us at the house and was very kind helping us set up the WhatsUp app so we could communicate better. She was very helpful with getting us acquainted with the house and also gave us restaurant recommendations for the area. We were worried coming in so late on a Sunday and not having basic things in the house, but we were wrong. There was plenty of toilet paper to get us started, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, laundry detergent, sun screen, you name it. It was so nice not to rush out to the store. Great place for a family; quiet, games to play, hammock, reef right out front to snorkel on, paddle boards, etc. Close enough to drive into Placencia for the day, but nice to come home to peace and quiet with a dynamite view.

Great accommodation! We really enjoyed our stay at the Coconut House. The house was comfortable and the view was amazing!

Great spot! We loved the beachfront location and the interior of the home is beautiful. Good spot for a family or group of friends. Easy drive into downtown.

Had a great stay and would definitely come back. House is spacious and well stocked. Host is very responsive. Loved the location minutes from the beach, stores and restaurants.

we had an amazing time at breeze of paradise. the house is gorgeous and the location is amazing. snorkeling and kayaking was amazing. the house is located 30 minutes from placencia and 10 minutes from restaurants in maya beach. we will definitely come back

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Laylo. Beautiful beach in front, nice swimming pool, quiet, safe and nice restaurants in the area! Jessie was flexible with our arrival as I thought it would take much longer to get through the airport and to Seine Bight! It was a lovely place and we would stay again in a heartbeat!

Our family of four had the perfect stay at the Moonflower. It was just as described. Clean, spacious and with a truly unbelievable view of the Caribbean. Easy to walk to coffee shops and restaurants. The host was very accommodating when we arrived unexpectedly early. Hammocks in the yard, plenty of space for kids to play. Felt safe and relaxed. Highly recommend!

Great location with basically a private beach. Lots of space and such a relaxing place. It is a little bit of a drive to the restaurants and where the tours depart from but it’s all one road and a straight shot to them. Easy to communicate with the host and very safe.
