About this house rental
Sunset Pointe 1 BR, 2BA Garden Apartment
We understand your families health and well being is very important. The Pointe House apartment is in a private single family residence. We, the owners, are not on the property when the apartment is rented so you would be the only ones in the building. Of course, we have a caretaker that lives on site if you should need anything. We do share the pool, 2 docks, and 3 rooftop viewing decks with 12 other units but since we are a small property these areas are never crowded.
On first floor of private residence in Placencia Village, Belize surrounded by water on three sides. For the couple who wants total privacy, yet just a five minute walk into the village. Covered private porches that look onto a lovely garden, tropical mangroves, and the Caribbean Sea.
Furnished in Belize tropical rattan, beautiful local artwork, and all full size, stainless steel appliances plus washer and dryer.
Our local guide will pick you up onsite for offshore trips to reef and island hopping or land adventures to Mayan ruins, caves, ziplining, waterfalls, horseback riding, or hiking the Jaguar Cockscomb Preserve. Property includes a 24/7 onsite care taker, pool, jaccuzi, and two docks. Come enjoy Placencia Village, Belize!

Easy to get to village and extremely nice home and property.
5.0
This home was absolutely amazing! My only disappointment was the weather and the condition of the ocean and the air. Apparently, I was told, they are burning fires in Mexico and also Belize has a lot of fires burning as well, so the air was thick with smoke and haze. It stayed at around 90 degrees fahrenheit, day and night. There was no tide, no breeze, no relief from the heat, no access to the ocean from the property unless you have a boat. The beaches in town are polluted with sargassum and trash and most restaurants
and shops do not have air conditioning. It was HOT and HUMID! The sky was grey, the ocean was grey, with limited visability due to the smog.

The property was an 11 out of 10. Spotless, everything you could ever need, world class locally sourced decor super friendly and helpful host. I can’t say enough good things about it !

This property is the best I've ever stayed in. It is perfectly situated with complete quiet and privacy! It is immaculate and the grounds are constantly being groomed. The pool and hot tub were so incredible clean and lots of fun! The property owner is a doll and responds to any enquiries immediately as does the onsite care taker. It's no even a question of "if" we will back, but rather "when"! OH.. and I've never met friendlier locals! The people are amazing!!!

Communication with the owner was fast and very helpful. The condo is beautiful, and was very clean. The living room was small but comfortable. The A/C worked very well and we were happy to have it. The pool and associated furniture was well-maintained and also very clean. The location on the point of the peninsula provided great views from the "crow's nest" on top of each of the condo buildings. There are only a few restaurants within a few blocks, so we used the provided bicycles whenever we wanted to go into the village and to the Placencia sidewalk. If we were to come back, we would rent a golf cart to make that trip much easier, especially after dark.

This property was everything advertised and more. The house was perfect, besides being so beautiful, it had all amenities needed. Kitchen was well stalked with what you need for cooking and more.The property was exquisite, very private, quiet and perfect for a good rest or a snorkel. The water was wonderful, especially from the dock where we could watch the fish and boats. You also could be picked up at the dock for most excursions. The pool was also beautiful and usually no people so it was like our own pool. Rosa and Kenny were the caretakers and were very attentive to all our needs.Town was close with all the restaurants and bars. Overall it was just a fantastic experience and we would recommend to all families, couples or someone just traveling solo, Thank you Janis for hosting us on our vacation in Belize and we hope to see you again soon.

The place and location are incredible. It was a beautiful place to stay with great views of the water. The bikes were helpful to get around. Rosa was very nice and helpful.

Excellent location, everything smooth about checking in and the workings of the house. The swimming beach is in town, a few hundred yards away, but we enjoyed sitting on the docks or in the palapa, or using the pool.
5.0
We very much enjoyed the property. The pool was very nice and we enjoyed a daily swim. The kayaks were fun to use in the canal and close to shore. Our only wish is that we could have had access to the beautiful views from the roof deck.

Absolutely great place to stay in Placencia. Fishing charter was Charlie Leslie. Picked us up and dropped off at the dock and brief walk into town for dinners. Never got into the pool but was well kept and beautiful grounds.

Property is awesome clean and very nice. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning and listening to the ocean. Our fishing guide and tour guide came by and picked us up by boat right next to the house. Rosa is sweetheart and very helpful. Can’t wait to go back.

Janis was great. There were some issues with the property, (not her fault), which she resolved by upgrading us to a bigger, better space and giving us a two night refund for our trouble.
I wish there were ladders at the dock so we could swim near the house.
5.0
We have stayed at Sunset Pointe several times. We love the pier with palapa with the great sea breeze for afternoon naps. The pool is perfect for cooling off after a day shopping or snorkeling or a late night swim. The staff is always available to answer any questions. Bicycles are great for the short ride to eat out if you don't have a rental car. I'm sure we will be back again.

It was nicer and larger we felt than the photos indicated we felt. Spotlessly clean, great AC, Safe. Quiet. Lovely view of the expansive tropic gardens off the beautiful decks. 7 minutes on a bike into the center of town.

Beautiful guest house at Sunset Pointe! This property had all the comforts of home and a million dollar view. On our arrival the caretakers had placed flowers in every room. We appreciated the extra touches. Everyone was friendly, accomodating, and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Sunset Pointe.

The property is stunning and tranquil. The grounds and gardens are maintained to a high standard. Interior of the apartment is filled with beautiful local art and spotless. Kitchen is fully equipped to prepare full meals. Janis is quick to respond to any questions prior to arrival. Francisco & family are available on property if you need anything. Sunset Point is located a short walk or quick golf cart ride from the village. (Where all the action is, but still a very laid back feel) Already planning our next trip!

wow, everything about the vacation exceeded our expectations
5.0
This is a wonderful apartment. Perfect for two people. Close enough to restaurants and stores that you can walk (a little over 1/2 mile to closest restaurant) but far enough away so it’s quiet. Gorgeous deck with a nice breeze. Great pool and the property manager is awesome. The owner was a wonderful help with questions. The kitchen has everything you need and the bed is super comfy. Even though you are directly on the water, you cannot see it from the apartment or deck, there is vegetation blocking the view. But there are two docks you can sit on to watch the water. Two thumbs up in this property. Great place.

Janis, the Owner, is excellent. We emailed back and forth a lot with info. and she was very helpful. Going there, our flight was cancelled so we arrived a day late but I let her know as soon as it happened and she let the caretaker, Francisco know too so all was well. The house is clean and in a beautiful spot. It is in walking distance to town but it's just far enough away, and on a dirt muddy road that 2, 3 times a day - with groceries would be a lot but they have bikes so we thought we would just take those all the time. We decided to use the bikes the first day. The tires were flat so we filled them up before we left and had to walk them home as they were flat again in no time, ended up renting a golf cart for the week. We also were excited to kayak as we live in Colorado and love kayaking the lakes here.
There, you have the ocean and a fabulous canal to paddle down but Francisco informed us one of the kayaks had a leak so if we took them out we needed to stay close to shore so if we started to sink - we could get out safely... not sure about the kayak so we decided to skip that. The hot tub was broken and we couldn't find the grill - we found a bbq pit area but not a grill so we couldn't cook the lobster and crab we got. So, again, the place was charming, quiet, peaceful and everyone was very friendly but for us - people who don't sit around much and really rented it for the amenities listed above, it was kind of a bummer.

We really enjoyed the quality and cleanliness of the property. The staff on site were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. If you go you have to ask for Alfred Willams, he is absolutely amazing as a tour guide! The owners Janis & Eric did an amazing job with the building and location of this paradise retreat!

Pointe house
Great except mattress. When you stay at a nice property and spend a 1/3 of your vacation time in bed, I would expect a good mattress. The mattress was worn out with visible dips and very uncomfortable on my back. Other than this the property was amazing.

Long drive from Belize City, next time we’ll fly in. Cost for fight is about same as the car which we really didn’t need while we were there. The bikes provided were perfect for getting around, apartment was clean and decorated beautifully. Shower water was hot, appliances great and had the necessary cooking utensils to make whatever we wanted. Air conditioning worked perfect and the dog next door visited on occasion sometimes with his cat buddy in tow. Super cute.
Town is very nice, good restaurants and we found Evolution gym! Go visit El Gallo who owns the place, what a personality!!
Thank you JANIS for all the messaging back and forth and accommodating my husband’s birthday trip. Maybe our friend’s will reschedule their wedding but if not, we’re definitely coming back.

Great location with a private garden
We had a wonderful three week stay here. The house is in a perfect location on the point - a quick walk into the village but it still feels secluded. We really enjoyed sitting out on the porch in the private garden. The caretaker, Francisco, was always helpful and made sure that we had everything we needed. We highly recommend a stay here!
