About this house rental

Ideally located on a 5 acres with 350 feet of white-sand beach yet only 2 miles from town. The villa has two floors with a wrap around deck on each. On the ground floor, there are three bedroom suites, each with a private bath along with a comfortable breezeway and easy access to the pool. Upstairs includes the common living areas and kitchen as well as another master suite. The splendid terrace overlooks the beach on one side and the pristine jungle and Maya mountains on the other. Here you can relax and enjoy the cool ocean breezes as you sip your morning coffee.

With 5 acres and over 350 feet of beach, there is an amazing quiet and privacy. With only 1/2 mile to the airstrip and 2 miles to town you have the convenience to readily visit the many unique restaurants and attractions of Placencia and its famous central sidewalk.

Top Reasons to rent Villa Ranguana instead of other Placencia properties:

1. 350 ft of beach: lots of white sand beach, great shallow swimming beach for the kids, a few coral heads for snorkeling - hands down the best beach of any home available for rent in Placencia

2. Cooling ocean breezes - beach side location means natural ocean breezes keep you cooler than the lagoon side - and most importantly keep away the bug problems lagoon side homes may suffer

3. 5 acres of privacy: plenty of privacy that you will not enjoy in homes located closer to the village - and the property is deep enough that there is not the road noise that can be so common for homes up north along Placencia road

4. Best location - only 2 miles from town means easy access to Tutti Frutti for your daily gelato fix, and easy access to the dozens of quality restaurants, shops, groceries, tours and activities of Placencia Village - many other properties further north (e.g. Maya beach or the Plantation) can mean a 30 to 40 minute drive to the village

5. Wrap-around, shaded deck makes it easy to relax and watch over the kids playing in the pool or out in the ocean

Guest access
The villa is only rented as an entire unit. Guests have access to the entire villa and the surrounding grounds including pool, beach and gardens.

Other things to note
Each of the 4 master suites are individually air-conditioned for sleeping comfort.

Owners have recently made available Casa Ranguana, which is a 2 bedroom house next door, that can be rented in conjunction with the Villa for large groups. VRBO listing 3025760.

About reviews: The property has been available for rent for many years and has consistently received stellar reviews. For 2016 through 2019 - a separate company rented the property for 40 weeks a year and filled it with their private clients. Very few of those booking came through VRBO, and as a result most the reviews from those clients are not available here on VRBO. Additional reviews can be seen on google or on other rental platforms.

Getting to Villa Ranguana: we are located about half a mile from the Placencia Airstrip. From the US - most people fly into Belize City (about 2-3 hr flight from Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Miami or 5 hr from Los Angeles). From Belize City there are 3 options: 1. a 20 minute local flight on Maya or Tropic Air to Placencia airstrip, 2. you can rent a vehicle and drive down to Placencia from Belize City which takes about 2-3 hours or 3. we can recommend a driver to transfer you down.

Private chef available for some or all meals at an additional cost.

Property has received Belize's Gold Standard Certification allowing for travel during Covid times.

Our group rated this vacation #1. Villa Ranguana didn’t disappoint. We had everything we needed and it was in a location where we felt safe, had privacy, and a beautiful ocean view. It was clean and well-maintained by Albert and Francee who live next door. They were perfect hosts, stocked groceries, and arranged golf cart rentals for our arrival. You will need a golf cart if you want to go anywhere, and you want them reserved before you get there. I had waited too long and could not find any in Placencia, but Albert saved the day by finding our group, two brand-new golf carts! Albert also arranged for Chef Nelson to cook Belizean dinners for us. We highly recommend Nelson. We liked Placencia and Villa Ranguana so much that we are already discussing a return in 2027.

We have stayed at this house twice now. Both times have been great! The location is perfect for being laid back and away from the busyness but also just close enough to go into town everyday for some groceries and eating at the restaurants. We highly recommend staying here!!

Villa Ranguana is an amazing place. We had a spectacular time with friends. Francee and Albert were very accommodating and were always available. Highly recommended for future visitors. Close to the action, but also remote and private. Our party of 10 thoroughly enjoyed it!

What a magical place! The home is as amazing as advertised, and the owner is communicative. The caretakers, Albert and Francee are delightful and always willing to help, and their gorgeous pup, Archie, was an especially nice surprise since all of us are dog people and were missing our own beasties.

Villa Ranguana is amazing and exceeded our expectations! The home is beautiful and spacious, with spectacular views of the ocean. The private beach is lovely, one can swim, snorkel, or kayak (provided by villa) in the ocean or dip in the freshwater pool. The location is an easy golf cart trip into the village of Placencia for a taste of local cuisine or to purchase a souvenir locally crafted. Albert & Francee were exceptional hosts, and dog, Archie, the perfect greeter! They were extremely friendly, highly responsive, and very helpful; helped book tours and restaurants, provided daily cleaning, and even arranged to have Chef Mark prepare dinner - delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. If you are considering Villa Ranguana, book now!

Our stay was amazing. All six of us staying said the pictures didn’t do it justice at all. The house was amazing and very clean and more beautiful than the pictures show. Albert was so helpful and booked a couple excursions plus a chef for a couple nights. We had rental car issues and he was on it helping us if he could. The air in the rooms worked great. The one minor thing was the master bed was more firm than I like to sleep on but I still had a great nights sleep. Highly recommend this house for just friends or even family!

I understand wanting to rent your home & you believing it's perfect.This listing is not & please do not advertise it as such.These were all the items that were stated in the listing that were just NOT true. 1.Newly built?(This made us angry)Maybe BEFORE? the hurricane, but it was EXTREMELY well worn(beds had no mattress protectors, WORN paper thin sheets that didn't fit correctly) 2.It is quite small for 4 people unless you are parents and kids.Not good for two couples. 3.Many sun chairs = 2 deck chairs. Beach chairs? non existent (and I asked before hand & John said yes!) 4.Wi-Fi was excellent. 5.Original listing stated Satellite TV.When I complained, John changed the listing & said it never stated that.I have a copy of the original listing.The bedroom TV's would not connect to "Roku" and the living room couch was too uncomfortable to use. 6.Dishwasher did not work.Washer/Dryer did not work, and that was after we called to learn how to use.Ice Machine =did not work.They left a half used bag of ice in the freezer. 7.The air conditioners worked Perfect. 8.Pantry supplies included only; salt, pepper & coffee filters. It did NOT include hand soap, dish soap,(they did bring some) garbage bags, kitchen towels nor any other kitchen pantry item. 9.The hand held shower head had a huge leak.(The bed got wet when showering.) 10.The toilet ran, had to "jiggle" the handle 11.SUGAR ANTS EVERYWHERE (and that was AFTER they came&sprayed.) 12.View=10 stars. All in all NOT worth THIS price
