About this apartment rental

The Alaskan Reprieve (AKA Prax & Associates)… new build that is only 100 steps to the beach! This property is the perfect place to stay!

So what sets the Alaska Reprieve apart from other rentals?

LOCATION: We are located right in the Village of Placencia on the famous sidewalk which means you experience the village's Caribbean vibe and have easy access (walking distance) to everything in the village. While we are not beachfront, we are one lot back and only100-steps from the Caribbean Sea.

COST SAVINGS – Not only is our daily rate very affordable, but you also save because… You won’t need a rental car as there is easy access to everything! Our kitchen is fully equipped so you can opt to eat in. Laundry facilities are available so you can do your laundry using our washer, clothesline, and dryer so you do not have to pay to have your laundry done. We have bikes, kayaks, snorkel gear, floaties, beach chairs, beach towels so you can just use ours and you don’t have to rent.

CONVENIENCE – We are less than a 10-minute walk from every comfort and service in the village! The point of the peninsula is only a 15-minute stroll away and most conveniences are even closer…

To the east… 100 steps away (less than a minute away with super easy access) to the beautiful Caribbean beach.

To the north on the famous sidewalk… Only a 2-minute walk to the Placencia Beach Club. If you don’t want to swim in the ocean, we offer you our corporate membership where you can swim, eat, and drink at the Beach Club. They have daily lunch specials and a swim-up bar.

To the south on the famous sidewalk… Only a 4-minute walk to Detach Restaurant or Beaches & Cream Expresso. Only a 5-minute walk to the nightlife hub – Barefoot Bar and Tipsy Tuna. No worries about a DUI!

To the west and then south down the Placencia Road… Only a 3-minute walk to the Pharmacy which is newly built and modern. Only a 3-minute walk to the spa for a massage that will ease away all tensions from travel. Only a 3-minute walk to the ATM to get more cash. Only a 3-minute walk to the best grocery store in the village. Only a 5-minute walk to Bubba Wubs’s Bar (Grill and Smoke Shack). Only a 5-minute walk to two coffee shops for your morning espresso or coffee. Less than 10 minute's walk to all restaurants, bars, grocery stores, gift shops, coffee shops, wine bars, fruit spans, spas, and tours located on Placencia Road. Only a 15-minute walk to the end of the peninsula where you can check out the daily catch.

NATURE, REST, AND BEAUTY – Because we are located at the north end of the village and in a residential area, we enjoy clean, uncluttered, and manicured beauty. Beautiful sunrises over the Caribbean. Stunning landscaped lots with exotic plants. Early morning bird and hummingbird watching. Mating iguanas and chirping geckos.

AMENITIES – Our amenities are above and beyond the average VRBO in Placencia. A pass to the Placencia Beach Club is included if you don’t want to swim in the ocean. A Samsung smart TV so you can connect and play your own movies and access your entertainment, or use the provided Netflix account. Bose speakers which you can connect using Bluetooth, free Wi-Fi, a small safe for your passports and valuables, a hairdryer, and ceiling fans inside and outside on the patio. Bicycles to get around if you don’t want to walk. Kayak’s to enjoy the ocean or the lagoon. Beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear and floaties to enjoy this incredible and quiet piece of paradise.

COMFORT - We are a pristine facility that offers air conditioning - some places in the village don’t have air conditioning and some charge an extra fee for use of air conditioning. Brand new firm mattresses and fluffy pillows. Our mattresses are firm, so we have added a 3" gel foam topper so our guests have the option of extra firm or a little more cushion. Egyptian cotton sheets and bedding that is air-dried (weather permitting) and fresh smelling. A full kitchen includes a 24” gas range, oven, full refrigerator/freezer with a built-in Central American style ice maker, and filtered cold water. A variety of small appliances including a coffee maker, toaster, mixer, and ice-crushing blender for your smoothies and drinks. Table settings for six, including a full array of plates, bowls, saucers, cups, glasses, wine glasses (stemmed or not), insulated glasses, serving bowls, and utensils (knives, forks, spoons, serving spoons, steak knives). A set of sharp knives and cutting boards. Towels, sponges, dishwashing liquid, and drain rack.

This little piece of heaven is located in the perfect spot, not too close to the noise of the bars but very close to everything. Located at the north end of Placencia Village, right on the famous sidewalk, this stunning studio with peek-a-boo sea views through the palms and tropical foliage is contemporary, open, and airy. Plus all of our furniture is built from Belizean hardwoods by local craftsmen.

The plants on the property intensify the pleasure of being in paradise. Hibiscus, orchids, palm trees, limes, mangos, perfume trees, and many others surround the house. This attracts birds and butterflies so nature is all around. Some days the resident iguanas and geckos make an appearance. The garden has a pergola where you can hang out in the hammocks and enjoy your afternoon nap.

This is the perfect place for relaxing or for keeping busy. The options are abundant. Sunbathe, walk on the uncrowded beach, relax on your private veranda, swing in the hammocks, or sign up for excursions. You can enjoy the rich natural resources of Belize including the barrier reef, the tropical rainforests, and the Mayan ruins. This is the place for world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. You will also find manatee watching, hiking, river tubing, or day trips into the jungle and wildlife preserves.

This wonderful studio offers you the opportunity to be lulled to sleep by the ocean sounds and fall in love with this quiet little village!

Plus, we have two studios with identical layouts if you are traveling with another couple or children. Our second-floor listing is property number 2290880. Here is the link: https://www.vrbo.com/2290880?unitId=2856475

This was our second time to stay at the Alaska Reprieve. We stayed a few years ago. It was just as great and perfect. I highly recommend this place. If we go back to Placencia, we will stay here. Mae and her husband are the best hosts.

We loved Alaskan Reprieve so much last year that it was easy to decide where to stay this year!!! The location is fantastic (right off the Side Walk), steps from the Caribbean Sea and very near our happy place (The Placencia Beach Club). This property is impeccably maintained, well appointed and comfortable. We got to meet some of the staff. They are hardworking and appreciative of the guests. Mae is a word-class host that responds rapidly and thoughtfully to requests. Treat yourself to a great experience when visiting Placencia (we did!!!).

We had an awesome and restful time. The Studio was well apportioned and very comfortable for the two of us. The owners, Mae and Phil are super friendly and take great care of the property and made sure we had everything we needed. Almost don’t want to recommend their place for fear that it won’t be available to us next time around. Would definitely request renting again.😀

I stayed in lower apartment with friends who rented the upper apartment. The home was very well constructed and we weathered rain and wind storms very well. Kitchen facilited were well kitted but my friends upstairs did most of the cooking. But everything was comfortable and cozy. Loved sitting on front porch greeting people as they passed and watching birdlife.

We had a great week at the Alaska Reprieve. Everything was as shown, no surprises , very clean , close to beach club which is awesome and just a bit further to the bars and restaurants, which is actually maybe a good thing. Very quick responses from owner. I sure wish Placencia was easier to get to from Western Canada. Maybe some day.
