About this villa rental
Your own private custom, high-end island! Only your group and the onsite staff, who have separate detached housing, will be on the island during your stay. This uniquely designed island includes 5 private suites with their own large open air thatch roof bathrooms, specifically laid out to take advantage of the amazing sea, mountain views and the cool trade winds.
Little Harvest Caye is a 1.5 acre private resort island that is located just 3/4 of a mile from the center of Placencia Village which is just a short 5 minute boat ride all in protected smooth waters. The Little Harvest Caye boat stays out on the island along with its captain and is available to take you back and fourth from Placencia based on your schedule. The island is uniquely situated to have panoramic views in all directions of the Maya Mountains, open ocean and Placencia Village.
Little Harvest Caye is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and managed by a highly respected company that manages four exclusive private island and numerous luxury waterfront villas in Placencia.
Little Harvest Caye offers an experience like no other in Belize. During your stay at Little Harvest Caye you have a chef to prepare all your meals (cost of food not included), daily housekeeping along with a boat and captain at your disposal to go any time for dinner, bar hopping, shopping, or taking in the many other sites and attractions of Placencia Village.
Guests of Little Harvest Caye truly have the best of both worlds; the privacy, exclusivity and uniqueness of being on a private island, all the comforts of home (a/c in all bedrooms, wifi, cable tv etc.) and the convenience and ability to take the Little Harvest Caye private boat from the island to the village anytime to enjoy all that Placencia has to offer.
Some resorts talk about being green, Little Harvest Caye is as green as any property can be. Little Harvest Caye is powered by a state of the art 45,000 watt solar system, with a room full of batteries to power the island when the sun is not out making it truly off-grid. The island does have a back-up generator to provide power to the island during extended periods of rain or heavy clouds; its use is not required under normal circumstances and with reasonable use of the air conditioners in each of the bedrooms. A very thoughtful effort went into the building design and details including the latest in LED technology, all butane cooking, water heating and even refrigeration. Efficient DC technology ceiling fans and the extremely efficient and quiet in room solar mini split AC systems truly make it where Little Harvest Caye can satisfy 100% of its electric needs from its solar system.
Placencia itself also is an ideal location to explore all Belize has to offer. In Placencia you have access to both land and sea tours and excursions, most less than 1 hour away. Our concierge will assist in planning and booking your activities to enable you to get the most out of your trip.
Placencia and the area around Little Harvest Caye is home to some of the best saltwater fly fishing for Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon in the world as well as amazing snook, snapper and other fishing literally right off of the island.
Placencia is also known for amazing diving and snorkeling, including an annual visit each year of the amazing and elusive Whale Shark, usully frm March to June.
The Little Harvest Caye concierge can arrange for diving and fishing tours to be picked up and dropped off at the island dock.
Whether you want explore Belize to the fullest or relax by the pool Little Harvest Caye will provide a vacation like no other.

Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.
Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the Gecko Marina where the island's staff will be waiting on you to take you in the boat to take you to the island.

My business partner and I took 8 of our employees to Little Harvest Caye for a weeklong retreat and we just can't say enough how perfect it was! This little island is immaculate. The beds were comfortable, the food and drinks were amazing (thank you Oscar!), and the staff was incredible! Our concierge, Heidy had everything planned out for us and made everything so easy and convenient for us. There was so much to do there that we were never bored and only went to the mainland just a couple times to shop. If I had to come up with one negative, it would be that the beach wasn't really swimmable (lots of seagrass), but the pool made made up for that. We would all highly recommend this property!

We love love love this little island. I can’t say enough about the staff they are top notch!!! The only negative I have is the parent company does not provide necessary equipment or funds to make necessary repairs. The poor staff struggle no lawn mower, ping pong table put together with duct tape, refrigerator is in disrepair. The cart for luggage has a homemade wood tire on it.

This was the best trip. We all were in agreement on the staff and the way they took care of us. Whatever we needed the provided. Everyone was so welcoming and kind we can’t help but love them. The island was always spotless and the sand raked. They food WAS amazing!!

Still feeling the afterglow of this amazing trip! Let's begin with Evelyn and Heidy, the amazing ladies who managed our reservation - from the start they made every step of the process easy and always followed-up in a timely manner. We had several special requests that they accommodated flawlessly and we really appreciate the amount of coordination it took to make this trip stress free and enjoyable from beginning to end. Once we got to the island we were greeted by the amazing staff - we are blown away by the level of service we received day in and day out. Let's start with Ernesto: every meal was executed perfectly, all special requests were handled with professionalism, and every dish he prepared was beyond delicious. We really want to thank him for all the love he put into everything! Up next is our girl Kendra - so wonderful! She took such great care of us and always had our rooms looking neat and tidy - she's such a hard worker and a lovely person. Next, we have to give a big shoutout to Jorge! Whatever we needed he was our man. Whether it was suggestions about which restaurants to go to or making pina coladas by the pool he was always ready for our next question or request. He really made us feel welcome! Lastly, our valiant ferrymen, Michael and Jazz! It would not have been the same trip without these two - we were always met with the same kindness whether it was 6am or 1am. They really took care of us and we can't thank them enough! Until we meet again!

We read the reviews, we all thought it would be amazing…we had high expectations. Hell, we even decided to have our very simple, no frills wedding ceremony on the beach. We were not prepared…
No matter what you read about the island, the staff, the beauty…YOU WILL BE BLOWN AWAY. Think the island is gorgeous…it’s better. Think the staff will be friendly and accommodating…they will be your family. Think the food will be great…it’s phenomenal. There is not an expectation that you could have that LHC will not exceed.
This was the trip and wedding of a lifetime. We opted for no wedding package, and yet the staff insisted on making it special for us in every way. Decor made by their own hands, a special feast to meet the culture of our crowd, we even convinced them to take a little break dance with us for a bit.
To Kendra, Oscar, Michael, Jose, and even Kempton who came over to help w the wedding feast…we love you. We appreciate everything you did for us and the love and passion with which you did it. Kendra…we’re waiting for you in San Diego whenever you’re ready for a visit.
Special shout-out to Heidy who dealt with my Type-A, ultra planning self, every day for almost 6 months. None of it would have happened without you.
To all you potential LHC’ers. Don’t hesitate. Get 12 of you together, split the cost, and go spend a week unlike anything you can imagine.
LHC…WE WILL BE BACK!!!!

Words cannot describe the perfection of LHC. Our family spent a week on the island, with ages ranging from 9 to 65. Every moment was sheer bliss. The views, the beautiful villas, the huge common area where we spent almost all of our time, the pool, the ocean etc. We did a couple of local excursions and almost daily trips to the mainland for ice cream, but mostly we wanted to just stay put on our island paradise. Michael, Jose, George & Kendra took incredible care of us, and they felt like family by the end of the week! Martha kept our villas squeaky clean and did extra laundry for our kids, and she couldn't have been nicer. We all agreed that this was the vacation of a lifetime--except that it is just too good to only do once in a lifetime, so we need to go back!

If you're looking for an incredible island paradise getaway with family or friends, look no further than Little Harvest Caye in Placencia, Belize. This private island is an absolute gem, boasting pristine beaches and crystal-clear waters.
From the moment you arrive on Little Harvest Caye, you'll be transported to a world of relaxation and indulgence. The staff (Enersto, Jorge, Jose, Jazz and Cindy) were incredibly friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure your every need is taken care of throughout your stay.
The accommodations on Little Harvest Caye are simply stunning. The island features a collection of beautiful villas, all equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs. But the real highlight of the villas is their breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea and the surrounding islands.
By far one of the best things about Little Harvest Caye is the incredible food. The island has its own private chefs (Enersto and Jorge), who prepare a delicious array of dishes using locally-sourced ingredients. From fresh seafood, often caught fishing from the island, to decadent desserts, every meal is a unique treat for the senses.
But what really sets Little Harvest Caye apart is its sense of exclusivity and privacy. With only a handful of villas on the island, you have the entire place to yourself. Whether you're lounging on the beach, taking a dip in the pool, fishing off the dock or exploring the surrounding waters, you'll

We enjoyed our entire time at LHC. The staff was amazing and the food was so delicious! We didn't want to leave. Everything was always taken care of. We look forward to visiting again someday.

Gorgeous island - we had the best family vacation! We stayed for 7 nights with my family, my brother's family & our parents and had a wonderful trip. We were picked up directly from the LHC dock for all of our excursions which was extremely convenient. And we thoroughly enjoyed our bookings with Captain Jak's. We arranged family photos on the island, with the help of the office and hopefully those turn out well (have not received them back yet). We used the LHC boat daily to get to Placencia for additional groceries and to shop in the cute town stores. The golf cart was perfect for those errands! Our staff was amazing - friendly, helpful, generous and genuine. Our concierge/main point of contact throughout our stay often jumped in to make us drinks or to fix any issues we were experiencing, without even being asked. We experienced a few "hiccups" as the communication with the office prior to our trip proved inaccurate upon our arrival, but we were able to smooth out most of the misunderstandings. We did have several picky eaters as well as one vegetarian on the trip and food was tricky for those. Our picky eaters often resorted to making macaroni and cheese or PB&J themselves as the menu alterations were not followed. But for the majority of our group, the chef prepared amazing meals! Seriously impressive, gourmet food! The rooms were gorgeous and the bathrooms amazing. I love the outdoor shower most of all!!! We saw very few insects or "wild" animals, though we expected to, given the open-air environment of the island. The a/c worked perfectly for us at night and we were very comfortable in our rooms. The wifi was reliable, though a bit spotty at times. But we were on vacation so it rarely mattered (except during the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving Day!). The island dog, Coco, is delightful and helped us miss our own pets a bit less. He can be a bit feisty though, so do let the staff know if you prefer he not be around your group at certain times. The main entertainment area is beautiful and well appointed. We did bring our own board games as well as a portable speaker - which we used a lot while we were on the beach. However, we all enjoyed the ping pong and pool tables, as well as cornhole. There is limited seating around the TV so be prepared to sit on bean bags or to pull over a chair from the dining table. My parents rarely moved from the comfy hanging chairs though...

Girls trip for my 50th, incredible from day one! The staff was the best part of our vacation. Our food was exquisite, beyond 5 star! Jose went above and beyond helping the girls learn to catch bait to fish. Those girls had him moving all week. Jose and Arion helped all week with every request. Ernesto WOW that man can make/create any food dish AND with all fresh handmade ingredients!! George came last days and he had culinary skills as well! Cindy meet all our wants and needs, she rocks!! They work as a team, all equal. Best experience we have ever had!

The island is somehow even better than the photos. The staff was amazing and the food was incredible. Ernesto, the chef, prepares an out-of-this world menu and accommodated our schedules perfectly. The entire staff makes everything super easy. The rooms and bathrooms are top notch as well.

We’ve traveled as a group for nearly a decade, and LHC ended up being a top notch fit for this group. The property itself was phenomenal and was everything we expected and more. Michael, Abel, Genesis and the rest of the staff were fantastic. Ernesto, the cook, deserves accolades and probably even some culinary awards. Never before on a 4 or 5 star resort have we eaten so well. Literally every single meal was both beautiful and delicious. The team seemed to have a second sense for when we needed anything, but also disappeared at the right times. Despite the islands size there was plenty for our group to do and keep ourselves entertained. We made a couple trips into town, had massages on site, an all day catamaran trip out to Laughing Bird Caye, and Covid testing on site on the way out—all expertly coordinated by the concierge and the LHC team. The cabins/rooms themselves were also top notch, very comfortable beds, nicely designed, along with open air bathrooms and showers in some.

Our stay on Little Harvest Caye was everything we imagined it would be and more. As with many people, this vacation was over two years in the making and we had very high expectations, and it met every one of of them. I don't know where to start... the staff are AMAZING! They catered to our every need and have such wonderful personalities. The food was outstanding. Oscar, the chef, is very talented. When they say he makes everything from scratch, they really mean it... scratch made pasta, bread for toast, buns for burgers, tortillas, syrup, fried jacks, salsas, etc. We were very impressed with EVERY meal we had. The rest of the crew (Able, Michael, Elden, and Cindy) were also amazing! The grounds are well kept and clean. The common area is an awesome place to hangout. Heidi from Gecko vacation is OUTSTANDING! She answered all our questions with pleasure and made sure everything we asked to do was planned out perfectly.
This was a trip of a lifetime!! We are determined to rebook again in the near future and can hardly wait to go again!

Paradise
From start to finish, this was an exceptional experience. The concierge was extremely helpful & guided us through the entire process. She accommodated any needs & changes, booked excursions & changed the domestic flight times with a simple text. The property was perfect. It accommodated four families that included five children all under the age of 5. Safe, clean & spacious. It’s perfectly set up for fun activities together and private space when needed. The only thing better than the property was the staff. Friendly & professional, good food & drinks, boat trips to Placentia upon request, they are what makes the entire experience Paradise.

I've meant to post this review for a while, and all I can say is this place is wonderful. Between the pristine island and surrounding waters, to the fantastic staff that caters to your every need, you'll be amazed. I can't say enough about the staff; they really made the trip what it was. Working with Talia and the team on booking and arrival was super simple. Once on the island, Chef Ernesto and sous chef Oscar cooked the most delectable meals (honestly, just fantastic...the best cooking I've had outside the states, and I enjoy high-end eateries), while Jose, along w/ Cindy and Abel, took care of everything else we needed. 8 months later and we're still talking about it to friends. In fact, it was so memorable we have already booked to go again in Early 2022 and are anxiously awaiting our trip. Some other things to mention, although COVID was rampant (and still is), it's effortless to get there and back from the states. Take a PCR before you go, bring the results to get into Belize, and they will book someone to test on the island (or you can go into town) for your way home. We had nurses come to the island, and that worked great! Another thing, we're big wine and bourbon fans, so we brought a bunch. I'm not sure that's worth the hassle as they have duty-free shops with wine, booze, and cigars, once you arrive in Belize (There are also shops and bars in town that have booze, although they are more costly.) Other than that, if you enjoy fishing, I would recommend bringing some gear (We did and caught quite a few), and unless you get stir crazy, don't plan on needing to go into town often. We thought we might want to try different food, but you'd be a fool to waste time and money eating out with their cooking.

Other than that, if you enjoy fishing, I would recommend bringing some gear (We did and caught quite a few), and unless you get stir crazy, don't plan on needing to go into town often. We thought we might want to try different food, but you'd be a fool to waste time and money eating out with their cooking.

Vacation of a Lifetime!
This island vacation is the most amazing experience. Our hosts are very quick to respond, so pleasant to communicate with and so thorough with their information. Renting this island gives your group access to a fabulous concierge who helps coordinate activities, ensure menu meets everyone's dietary preference/restrictions, coordinates transportation to and from the airport. The team of 5 assigned to the island ensure that you will not want for anything. They work so well together to maintain the island, keep it clean and cook amazing meals. With Ernesto and his sous chef Elmond in the kitchen every meal is a masterpiece. Abel and Michael keep everything running smoothly and are ready to assist with any project the guests need and drive the boat to and from mainland. Cindy is so wonderful to keep rooms and the rest of the island in tip top shape. To see the whole team in the kitchen at meal time is like watching a symphony. I loved to sit and watch every one of the guests enjoying activities they love. The pool is amazing, the common area great room is perfect for gathering, playing ping pong or pool, gathering around the bar for the cocktail of the day and dancing. Outside there is cornhole, horseshoes, croquet. Paddleboards and canoes for those who want to get out on the water, fishing is permitted (some fish are catch and release). All of the houses are on the ocean and beds are comfortable. We went in to town a couple of times for shopping and one meal ashore at Rumfish Y Vino which was recommended by our chef and was amazing - otherwise I would highly recommend to stay on the island and enjoy the meals prepared - they are a work of art and delicious. Overall the biggest problem I have with this vacation is that I do not feel I will ever be able to top this vacation with anything better.... EVER!! If you are considering a unique and private vacation for a group then this IS the vacation you are looking for!!! I love this island and I am a fan of this rental company!!

Covid canceled our Spring Break 2020 plans, and we rescheduled for June, 2021. Was an outstanding week for our family! The staff was so attentive, the meals were AMAZING, massages onsite, movie night on the beach, a concierge to arrange a wine tasting and jungle and snorkeling experiences... it was like having a full service resort just for us. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal property, staff, amenities.!
We had an outstanding week at the property. The accommodations were stellar, the staff were friendly & helpful, and a great chef!
From the pick up from mainland Placencia to departure a week later; flawless in every way.
I could not say enough great things about our experience. We cannot stop talking about the trip upon our return home and probably never will!

Island Paradise
Wonderful place to stay. Well laid out so we did not feel crowded. Lots to do and the staff was especially nice. Food was excellent. Only sad that covid19 forced us to leave early.

Absolute Paradise!
This was by far the best vacation we have ever taken! The staff on the island were the best! Ernesto and Miguel were our chefs for the week, the meals were unbelievable ! Jose took great care of us both on the island and off. He did a terrific job making sure everything ran smoothly and flawlessly! Osmar also helped to get us where we were going and maintained the island, again amazing! Mindy was our housekeeper and kept everything sparkling and well stocked, she did a terrific job!
We’ve never eaten so well or been pampered so much! Henry and Vicky, the two we worked with organizing the vacation made everything run so smoothly! They made our planning for excursions, meals and island entertainment so easy! We had a drumming band come to the island for entertainment, that was a great experience spending time with them. We probably could have booked them for a shorter amount of time, we did 5 hours but could have been less.
We were a group of 12 adult friends, spending a week on a beautiful, tropical, private paradise and it could not have been any better!

Amazing Experience Definitely Recommend
We had the most amazing stay with our group of friends. Belize is an amazing Country the island we stayed on was the best and the staff were even better. I can't stress enough how great the staff were, several comments a day were made on how great the attention to detail and how they always went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and meet our every need or request.

This property is absolute paradise!
This private island was the perfect place for our group of 4 families to enjoy Belize and each other but each with our own bit of privacy. The homes are immaculate, beautifully constructed and modern but with traditional flair. The common spaces are well arranged to facilitate group conversations while the kids swam, combed the beach or played on ping pong or pool tables.
The staff were unbelievably professional, friendly and accommodating. Each meal was absolutely gourmet quality with beautiful presentation by the private chef who accommodated multiple special request food preferences and allergies with ease. We only paid for groceries which was extremely reasonable especially given the very high quality of our meals - we could never have done that for ourselves! Our concierge, Henry went above and beyond on multiple occassions organizing the menu in advance, helping us book excursions and organizing our travel plans. He kept track of us from start to finish and even helped us problem solve transportation issues not booked through him.
Overall, the experience could not have been more amazing. We all felt like movie stars enjoying a private island experience! We can't wait to go back.

Was nervous but not for long.
Anytime you book something online without a personal review from someone you trust, it feels like a gamble. However, from the first contact with the in country manager, Henry, the communication and dedication to our groups happiness was spot on. Once on the island, the crew there took care of us like we were royalty. Very friendly and out going, they paid attention to every detail. Very happy with the entire process! We will be back!
