Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Placencia Peninsula

The house was as advertised. Nice and spacious and plenty of towels, linens. Well stocked Kitchen and nice outdoor space upstairs and downstairs. Host was responsive and always quick to answer! The location was not directly in town where we thought it was but it is literally a mile or so from where we thought it was. Host is fixing the location on AirBnb. This is a very spacious home but it is separate floors only connecting from outside so great if you have adult couples but wouldn’t work well if you had smaller children. Overall, lovely stay in a beautiful home.

We had a great visit! Candace, who was our host, was flexible when our flight changed and offered us great recommendations for restaurants and things to do. Great location- loved the roof-top area for morning coffee!

Rum Point was incredible! Martin and Bones made us feel so welcomed from the moment we arrived until the moment we left. Having access to all the amenities at Turtle Inn was amazing and allowed us to enjoy the activities, restaurants and beach bar for quick visits then retreat back to Martin’s private paradise. One of the few Airbnb’s we also immediately said the pictures do not come close to doing it justice. Everything was spectacular from the house decorations, to the gardens, to the pool and the best sunrises. To top it off we all loved having the Rum Point Pack visit especially Princess and Moira! An experience like we’ve never had and can’t wait to return!

Absolutely stunning home with a serene location! The home was spotless and better than pictured with beautiful views of the beach and ocean from every room. Albert and Francee were so kind and helpful they made us feel like we were in our own private resort. The owner provided great details and suggestions in advance of us arriving and Albert made sure to check in regularly during the week and give us lots of recommendations to ensure we made the most of our vacation while also making sure it felt like home; so much so that we were sad to leave. We’d recommend this location to everyone and can’t wait to return again in the future.

We are a family of 5 and recently stayed at La Vida Belize. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed for our stay. The plunge pool, beach and dock were the perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. We enjoyed being in a quieter area and didn’t mind the distance from the main area of Placencia. We rented a car and explored several areas in Belize during our stay. We used the guestbook for tips about the area and places to eat near Maya Beach. The grounds keepers were friendly and kept everything nice for us during our stay. The host responded quickly to any questions we had. During our week stay, some of the activities we were able to do included: snorkling with Captain Jak’s, visit the Bocawina Nation Park & Zip-line Adventure, fishing, a Monkey River tour and visit some Mayan Ruins. We also spent a good amount of time relaxing and reading on the beach or by the pool. We recommend staying here.

A Perfect Getaway in Placencia! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful Airbnb in Placencia, and I can't recommend it enough! The house is situated in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation. The property is exceptionally well-kept, with beautiful landscaping and a pristine pool that adds a touch of luxury to the stay. The house itself is spacious, clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Whether you're looking to unwind by the pool or explore the charming surroundings, this Airbnb offers the best of both worlds. If you're planning a trip to Placencia, this is definitely the place to stay!

Magical setting! The veranda is wonderful for watching the sunrise & lying in the hammock listening to the lapping of the waves & watching the antics of the pelicans. Andrea is a very interesting woman, who is working hard to address the many challenges of owning an oceanfront property sandwiched between manicured resorts. The beach house is charming with a great bathroom & shower & a functional kitchen. The caretakers were friendly & helpful & it was delightful to watch their two little girls playing & laughing in the ocean. We’ve been visiting Placencia yearly for over a decade & it is reassuring that there are still places like Andrea’s to stay.

The villa was just what my family needed. It was out of the tourist area and relaxing. The house is equipped with most everything we needed. The place was just as advertised. Great time and a bottom floor bedroom for privacy for my dad. Kitchen is remarkable and beautiful!!

Therese’s place is a perfect base to explore Placencia town and the peninsula. The apartment was clean, quiet and well equipped - with everything you need to make a few light meals. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the balcony each day! Therese was kind and responsive during all communications throughout our stay and we definitely would recommend her place for your visit!

We have visited Placencia a few times and this was one of our favorites! Beautiful view of the ocean, right on the sidewalk, and easy to walk to all our favorite places. Thanks for hosting us!

Alan's Seahouse is across the street from his Hotel, on the lagoon side. The room has plenty of space. a nice little kitchen area (with working stove), ceiling fan and AC, and a large TV with time of channels and apps. Comfortable for a weeks stay, or longer - the building has 4 units, and some have been rented for months at a time. Very quiet inside. you can't hear your neighbors at all. The available kayaks and bicycles (free) is a really nice plus! Alan's is around most days. Great guy to chat with, and very agreeable to requests for help.

Great host, great views and peace. we barely were home, but when we were was top of the line!

As a super host myself of 3 properties I can assure you this place is WONDERFUL! The location is absolutely perfect. You can step into the water right from your property. The porch was ideal as was the laid back tiki bar next door for a fun beverage while lounging. The AC’s in each bedroom were a great addition. We were a family of 5 with plenty of space. The property manager, Karissa is on site and was ready to serve with all our needs. To say she went above and beyond is an understatement. The grounds keeper AJ was so kind and helpful too. We honestly lacked for nothing. Some places we loved and recommend: Tate of Belize Garifuna cooking class Mammalicious is a couple minutes away and has fantastic and inexpensive food. More upscale was Dawns Galley - the shrimp curry was incredible! We loved walking to the pier at sunset De”tach has great breakfast We loved visiting the zoo on the way there and leaving we went to our next destination via Hummingbird Highway.

We were two couples who stayed in Michelle’s condo fairly last minute when our accommodations were cancelled. Check in was smooth with Jack”s assistance and condo was great. Perfect space for the 4 of us . Edwin and his family were lovely and always ready to take us on the boat ride across the canal for the short walk/bike ride to town. Edwin and Jack were both very responsive and always willing to help arrange cabs/excursions. Would definitely stay again.

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.

couldn't not recommend this location, condo and it's staff more. they are very hard working and very responsive. The family that take care of the location is amazing and some of the most wonderful and kind people. Would recommend to anyone and will be back to see Placencia again. 5 Stars

This condo was great! Management was very helpful with assisting us with planning activities and meals. Be aware that the location is a bit away from Placencia village and will require a golf cart or car. We were a bit nervous driving the golf cart after dark, so used a taxi service for dinners. Taxis are a bit expensive. Be aware that there are sandflies on the beach, particularly around sunset, they were a minor annoyance, but be sure to have bug repellant on, when walking the beach, this is an issue all across Belize. This was our homebase for activities in the area, which included a visit to Cockscomb, Ranguana Caye and fishing. (They picked us up and delivered us with a pile of fish at the Cocoplum dock). We enjoyed meals, lounging and drinks on the beach right next door at the Naia resort. I am a photographer and enjoyed the cool mornings on the patio taking photos of beautiful birds right from the patio. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back.

So happy we found this place! The location was perfect for us. We walked to town for groceries, dining, gifts and visited the many beaches along the main beach sidewalk. We cooked most days, but the days we would dine out, the food was amazing. Edwin, the property caretaker, was extremely helpful with recommendations and was always available to take us across the canal. He goes out of his way to help us. One day our rental car battery died and Edwin helped us get ahold of the rental company to pick us up because our phones could not make calls in Belize. We were able to use a chat thru whats app to communicate. I hope to come back! What an amazing vacation. Only feedback would be to add a pillow top on the master bedroom king bed. Thank you so much for a great experience.

Excellent location, excellent unit. Overall great place to stay.

Our 2nd year visiting and staying here…great value at a great location. Loved the whole pontoon boat experience getting over to the condos…especially Edwin’s cheerful and professional help. And Odie the boat dog was a bonus! Walk to town and easy access to the whole village.We’ll be back.
