Beautiful hilltop home
Everything about our stay was amazing! Katia is a highly responsive communicator and helpful resource, and the housekeeper, Consuelo, well let's just say I wanted to see if I could convince her to come home with us permanently! She was so kind-hearted and made us the most delectable meal. The views and yard are breathtaking (we saw toucans from the porch most nights!), the pool was a hit with the kids, we enjoyed the multiple hammocks, and the home's overall aesthetics were wonderful. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We were here during dry season and had no problem getting up the hill without 4 wheel drive, but I bet that would be different during the wet season. The property description clearly says this, but keep in mind that only 1 bedroom has a/c. We happened to be here during a HOT week, and ended up moving a couple of extra mattresses into the bedroom with a/c because sleeping without a/c was next to impossible. The house is designed to have excellent crosswinds coming through which would be more than sufficient to cooling purposes in all but the hottest weather (which we had). All in all, it was a fabulous stay and we already miss the property!

Amazing spot all around
Our group of 6 were extremely impressed with the beauty of this home; little extra touches and beautiful wood throughout; sitting on the dining room deck overlooking the amazing view of the jungle/forest; coming home after a day exploring and taking a dip in the pool; Consuela cooked for us 1 night - it was a nice break and great food. Katia answered any inquiries quickly and was very helpful with directions and details. The gardener kept the grounds clean and always had a smile; the resident dogs were very friendly and so well behaved. All 6 of us were pleasantly surprised and would not hesitate to recommend to friends or go back again.

Amazing home base for the Cayo
This is a very nice home in a beautiful location. We stayed here for a week while exploring the Cayo. The view from the deck in amazing. The pool was a nice to cool off in during the really hot afternoons. The host, Consuelo, was great and we had her cook dinner twice at the house (I highly recommend it).

Amazing experience
Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at this stunning hilltop rental property with breezy breathtaking panoramic views and a luxurious pool. This modern home exceeded all expectations, providing a truly unforgettable experience. The property manager, Consuelo, was exceptional, ensuring our stay was flawless. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail were remarkable. To top it off, Consuelo treated us to a delectable homemade meal one evening, which was both delicious and reasonably priced. I cannot recommend this property enough - it truly offers the perfect combination of beauty, comfort, and outstanding service.

Base for touring the Belize jungle and ruins
Awesome stay. We really enjoyed the location and awesome view which is above the jungle outside of Santa Elena. We felt a part of the community. The pool is awesome and the wildlife viewing is great from the patio and pool area. Katia and her entire staff of workers were great as well.

Beautiful mountain retreat
Katia and Consuelo were great hosts. We traveled with our kids aged 4 and 6 and they absolutely loved everything. The house was clean and as described. The pool was fantastic. It was clean and went from about 2 feet deep to about 6 feet allowing the 4 year old to really improve his swimming. Lots of nearby activities kids can do including cave tubing. The house was ready for kids and had toys already there. Three cement floors were great because we didn't need to worry admit kids tracking in pool water. The outdoor dining room was great also. Afternoon and overnight breezes made sleeping with fans and the sounds of nature pleasant. There is a bedroom with AC if you really need it, but we didn't find it necessary. Highly recommend staying here.

what an amazing find!
We just loved our time in this beautiful home. Tons of space, completely surrounded by nature, well equipped home, brilliantly designed to take advantage of the breeze, a refreshing pool to dip in, dark sky for stargazing, perfect view of the sunset and sunrise, tucans in the trees during sunrise, comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, lots of towels, and the host is a wealth of knowledge on the area and super responsive! We highly recommend!

Gem hidden in the hills!
We had an amazing stay in Santa Elena. This house and property are very well stocked and kept. It’s a beautiful property that’s is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the effort. The breezy porch is perfect for morning coffee. A note about the swimming pool, it was too cold for our liking. Perhaps because we are northerners and used to heated pools. We had Consuelo prepare a meal for our arrival, including a cake from a local bakery that she picked up for us. This was for a birthday and was fabulous!! I can not praise Consuelo enough. She greeted us on our arrival and explained everything and was there for our departure. We definitely recommend this house.
