About this villa rental
Welcome to Villa Jammin' Gecko, an exquisite oceanfront estate nestled among tropical trees and vibrant gardens in the heart of Maya Beach, Placencia. Villa Jammin’ Gecko is a 5-bedroom, 7-bathroom custom-built vacation home occupying a stretch of sandy shore along the calm Caribbean Sea.
Leave all your cares behind because from the moment you enter the gates of this meticulously manicured property you will be engulfed in an aura of tranquility and luxury. Entering the villa, you will step into a spacious foyer with soaring ceilings and an eye-catching staircase. Tastefully decorated with pieces of local art and custom-built Belizean hardwood furniture, this home strikes the right balance between homey and haute.
Proceeding from the foyer you’ll find the first three private bedrooms located on the ground level. Each of the large bedrooms are well furnished with custom local furniture, high quality linens, a flat screen TV and accompanied by its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring the utmost privacy and comfort for each guest. The first floor also boasts a large game room overlooking the ocean, complete with a wet bar, pool table and large flat screen TV. This area serves as the perfect space for entertainment as a sliding glass door seamlessly connects you to the large, covered patio, your private pool, and a cozy thatched palapa.
Inspired by the easy and breezy outdoor living habits of the tropics, the palapa is designed to be your open-air common area. Equipped with comfortable seating and hammocks, it is the ideal spot to relax and unwind. Stretch out on a lounge chair and bask on the sundeck or splash into the pool for a game of volleyball. The beach is your backyard! Enjoy the peace and solitude of your private oasis which will seem to stretch across the tepid and tranquil water all the way to the horizon.
Back indoors, ascend the grand spiral staircase to the second floor, where you’ll enter the heart of the villa - a large open kitchen, dining and living area with a generous covered patio overlooking the pool and beach. This amazingly well-appointed space is where your group will gather most of the time when you’re not outdoors. Natural light fills this space through clear glass windows, and the decor is a harmonious blend of modern beach elegance and local charm. The living area is furnished with comfortable, contemporary sofas and chairs centered around a stylish, hand carved coffee table made from local Belizean wood. The dining area features a beautiful hand-carved wood table with seating for ten, where you can enjoy gourmet meals made by your own private chef.
Adjacent to the dining area, you’ll find the large, fully equipped, gourmet kitchen with high-end appliances, granite countertops, and an island breakfast bar. Just off the dining area is yet another open-air patio and outdoor dining area. The patio houses a stainless-steel gas grill and boasts amazing views of the Maya Mountains and magical sunsets.
Also on this level is a sizeable junior suite, with its own private covered patio overlooking the pool and ocean. The room is furnished with local handmade furniture and décor, high-quality linens and flat screen TV. With the attached ensuite bath, this suite is perfect for a couple wanting more privacy.
Ascend to the top floor, where you’ll discover the grand primary suite. This room epitomizes luxury and comfort with a king-size bed, locally designed custom furniture, resort-quality linens, and a flat-screen TV. The en-suite bath is a true indulgence, featuring an oversized jetted tub and a walk-in shower with an amazing view of the beach and ocean. Expansive patios on this level offer sweeping views of the ocean, lagoon, and mountains, completing this lavish suite.
Your stay at the villa includes the dedicated services of a team of seasoned professionals. Our villa boasts a long-standing and expertly trained onsite staff, each with years of devoted service. From the skill of our personal chefs to the daily housekeeping and laundry service, our goal is to make your vacation effortless so you can simply savor every moment of your well-deserved escape.
When you’re not enjoying the property, take the complimentary golf cart and explore the nearby charming restaurants and lively bars, immersing yourself in the local flavor.

Summary of reviews
Guests loved their stay at the Villa Jammin Gecko! The property was well-furnished, clean, and had comfortable beds. The beach, pier area, and private pool were great. The staff, including chef Manuel, exceeded expectations with delicious meals and friendly service.
10.0
We had a wonderful 2 weeks staying at the Jammin Gecko villa. We were a family of 10 ranging in age from 21 months to 70 years. One of the reasons we picked Jammin Gecko was that the bedrooms were on different levels. We, the grandparents, enjoyed the great top floor suite and considered it our quiet zone. The middle floor with one bedroom was nice for our childless couple and the lower level with 3 bedrooms was for our daughter’s family with the 4 children. The other reason we liked Jammin Gecko was the pool. We made very good use of it! We had lots of family time but could spread out and find quiet places when we wanted them. We were able to snorkel from the beach, kayak, and fish from the shared pier.
The location allowed us to go to the zoo on our way from Belize City. We also toured the Mayan ruins, took a catamaran cruise, went diving and snorkeling, and took 2 great sunset cruises.
Mabel and Mindy kept the house spotlessly clean and our laundry done which is a lot of work with small children! Orlando cooked for us 7 days which was a wonderful treat until I got on the scales after returning home😬. The pool and the beach were well maintained and always clean.
I felt like the only negative was that the furniture was not particularly comfortable especially in the main living area. A house this size needs a living area that is big enough for everyone to gather in if they choose to. I would however still recommend this house. Hopefully we’ll be back again.

We loved our week at the Villa Jammin Gecko! It was a perfect fit for our group of nine. The beds were comfortable, the property is well furnished and clean, and we loved the beach and pier area. We also had Manuel cook for us a few of the days and the food was delicious!

This was our third stay at Jammin' Gecko and it has always exceeded our expectations. This was the first time that we booked Chef Domingo for our entire stay and it was more than worth it. Excellent food and much less expensive than going out to eat. He was always very flexible in accommodating our meal times based on the activities we had scheduled. Top notch staff and very friendly.

It was very easy and efficient to rent the Jammin Gecko Villa for our family of 6 adults and 5 children. The villa was very clean and well appointed with nice furnishings and a very functional layout. Beds were comfortable with modern bathrooms adjacent to the bedroom. Housekeeping kept the inside and pool and outside areas very clean and tidy. Very abundant supply of beach towels and bath towels. Our chef Manuel was excellent with tasty meals and a variety of entrees. Seaside location and private pool with toys made play time for the children great. The bar downstairs provided an excellent place for wine and rum tastings. This is the PERFECT family villa!!

Concierge not that helpful and tended to overprice excursions. On site management more helpful. The added VRBO price was not evident at booking. Expensive surprise. Staff housekeeping & maintenance fantastic

We spent 6 days at Jammin Gecko and had an amazing time. The beach is wonderful. The dock adds a fun view and place to take pictures or just relax. The staff exceeded all of our expectations. They were friendly, knowledgeable and down right awesome! We would stay here again with no hesitation.

The Jammin Gecko was amazing! I celebrated my 50th birthday with family and friends. Mabel and Manuel were fantastic. I highly recommend you ask for Manuel as your personal chef. He is perfection. Mabel cleans the house and washes clothes daily. You will never want to leave. However, watch out for excursions some of them are scams and their credit card machines NEVER work, conveniently.
10.0
We recently stayed with 10 people ( 4 kids ages 7-10, and 6 adults). The property was immaculate. The staff was helpful, assessable, and super hospitable. We elected to have Domingo cook for the full week, and every meal was on time, nutritious and delicious ( definitely worth the extra days to have worry free meals, and given the distance of other restaurants for a party that size without a rental van). The portal was helpful in deciding which excursions we wanted to try. Transportation was arranged, and timely. The pool was a hit for the kiddos ( and adults). Again, the staff and management of the property was wonderful. We would highly recommend, and would love to return for another trip.
Our only recommendations are to confirm quantity of groceries on the portal to stock the house ahead of time. For example, it says "coffee" with a quantity to pick. It wasn't clear if that was pounds, bags, K-cups,. This recommendation is relevant for all quantities of items being ordered through the portal.
Another recommendation is for installation of towel hooks out by the pool/pool house, and within the rooms. Lot's of wet towels with a group that size.
Also be prepared with cash to pay for all groceries, and overshoot how much you will need, as we were not as prepared and needed to make a trip into town for the ATM's.
Highly recommend the snorkeling and Laughing Bird Caye, it was beyond our expectations, the staff was very knowledgeable and kid friendly. We also did Monkey River, which BE OVERLY prepared for bugs. We following the instructions with long loose clothing, hats, and DEET spray, and it was no match for the jungle mosquitos. The manatee stop on the way back was a fan favorite from our group.
We loved this property and loved our travel to Belize!

Perfect house for a friends getaway
From the booking process through checkout, we kept thinking this was too good to be true, but it was all real! The staff was incredible and was able to offer as much or as little help as we wanted at every step of planning our trip. The house is beautiful, well designed for both privacy and group gatherings and meticulously maintained. The owners have thought of everything--from the pool table to the wine cooler by the pool to the house cell phone for making local calls. They missed no detail in offering the guest a smooth and relaxing experience. Our trip was wonderful!

great experience
We loved our stay. We loved not having an "all inclusive." The pool was completely ours, the property has a wonderful private beach, kayaks, etc. We debated on whether we should have the chef cooks for us. So glad we did. Grocery store shopping in Belize is not what we are used to. We did go out to dinner several times, but just eating at home was so much easier and relaxing. It tasted great, so convenient, and clean. The staff was wonderful. We also had a great scuba diving tour with Sunnyside Tours.

It Couldn't Have Been Better!
Another vacation is in the books for the 10 of us (5 couples)...ages 56 to 73...from Michigan and Wisconsin. This property fit us perfectly from the 5 ensuite bedrooms, to the large kitchen for cooking / dining, to the well maintained pool that leads right out to the sea. The house was spotless. The cleaning staff was attentive, friendly and our beds / baths attended to daily. Our laundry was done for us every day. We hired a chef for 3 days who arrived at our chosen time to make breakfast, came back to prepare lunch, and came back again to prepare supper. All the meals and desserts were top notch. They set the table, prepared the meals, and cleaned up the kitchen afterwards. The property came with a golf cart and we rented another golf cart to meet our needs. With at least 25 years of annual vacations under our belts, this one was by far one of the nicest. To have the laundry done, the meals prepared, and a lot of other details attended to made our trip that much more relaxing. None of us would hesitate to come back to be pampered and spoiled at least one more week. Regards, Marty, Tracy, Frank, Laurie, Gary, Connie, Dennis, Lucy, Bill & Linda

Our home away from home
We always enjoy our stay at the Gecko homes. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The house is perfect. Volleyball is so much fun on the pool. Shooting pool with the family until late was a nightly thing.
If you want to get away and enjoy a beachfront home, Jammin is the place to be. We vacation there every 2-3 years and will continue to return.

Great House
The house was beautiful, much better than the pictures. Very clean, house staff was kind and accommodating. Chef was amazing- I wish we would've booked him for more nights!
About a mile up the road there is sand dredging going on so the beach infront of the house has murky water. (nothing the house can control).
overall great experience! Would stay again!

We had an awesome week at the two Gecko houses last week. Geri and Talia were very accommodating to our large group. The houses are beautiful and very well appointed. Lots of seating areas in or out of the sun.The staff was very attentive without being obtrusive. Chef Doming was the bomb.

Madly in love with Belize
I really can’t say enough about our week in Belize.
Placencia is the perfect jumping off point to experience everything this beautiful country has to offer, and the Gecko team made it all possible. From private islands to snorkeling to Mayan ruins to river tubing, they helped us craft the perfect itinerary for our party of 5 adults and 5 kids. Being dropped off at our pier at the end of boat trips was great with kids.
On our non-activity days, we thoroughly enjoyed the local flavor of the expertly-prepared meals, and Mabel was helpful and responsive to all of our questions.
Truly an effortless but amazing experience. So grateful!

Hands down - THE BEST!
This was hands down the best vacation home I have ever rented. We vacationed as 5 couples to celebrate some milestone birthdays and anniversaries and we couldn't have made a better choice. Talia & Mabel made it so simple to have the place stocked prior to our arrival. Domingo & Manuel whipped up the most amazing food, and the house was clean & our laundry done every single day. We are definitely spoiled now. Even with the 2 other properties booked, we felt like we had the whole beach to ourselves. We can't wait to come back to the Jammin Gecko!

Another Week in Paradise
Once again, the staff outdid every other place we have stayed in the area! Every time we have to stay at another location, it just makes us return to this house for our next stay! The staff can't be beat: chefs, house keeping, concierge service for all of our needs - The Villa Jammin' Gecko is the best place to stay in the Maya Beach Area! We will be back :)

Perfect family vacation
We stayed for 8 fabulous days and could have easily stayed longer. The house is kept immaculately clean and has everything you need. From the daily laundry to the chef’s delicious meals, you get pretty spoiled. There were 7 of us and we were all able to ride bicycles together. The pool was excellent for volleyball or just lounging; being able to listen to music outside was great. We did 3 Captain Jaks excursions and were picked up and dropped off at the house for each one. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. This home is where you want to stay, it’s not in town, you never notice the neighbor, it’s large and everyone has their own bathroom.

Best Place Ever!
We had 7 in our group. The house was fantastic and came with terrific amenities. Jasmine is the housekeeper who was great and did daily laundry for us. Javier was on property and just a phone call away, if you need him. Pool was great. Domingo and Manuel were the chefs and their food was delicious.

Our 7 day stay could not have been any better! Maribel and Chef Micky were extremely accommodating to our many needs! The staff was incredible, they kept the house immaculate while the 9 of us did our best to make a mess! This house is as beautiful as it appears in the pictures! Our group of nine never felt crowded, as there is more than enough room. The pool was amazing as well as the game room/bar right off the pool! Bring your iPod, it was so nice having a stereo system that not only played to speakers outside but could be heard throughout the house as well!
The use of the golf cart was really convenient! We made many trips to the grocery store for more rum and beer and being able to just hop on the cart was great!
Part of the group did make a trip the Placencia Hotel to spend time at the swim up bar, they said the drinks were fantastic as well as the bartender and that you must try the restaurant's appetizer french fries, as they were fantastic!
Our favorite meals were the ones created by Chef Micky, but for those nights we did not have a chef we tried the Mayan Bistro just down the road. The food was phenomenal as were the prices! The food was upscale and the atmosphere was island perfect!
I would recommend the Jammin Gecko to anyone, it was simply amazing!

We had the best time. We rented the 3 Gecko house for a destination wedding. We had about 25 in our group. Domingo prepared a welcom breakfast for all of us. It was delicious and something for everyone's taste. Bacon, scrambled eggs ( I have to find out how he made them so fluffy and delicious), assortment of tropicle fruits, banana pancakes, cottage fried potatoes, and verious bread toast. Those eggs were plain or with cheese. I adored them both.
Our guests took full advantage of the boats and the dock. We love the dock. You can go out there and read or simply watch the gentle waves.
We played board games as it rained for about 3 days, but the scuba divers, fishermen and snorkels didn't miss a thing. What's a little water hurt then? Some guests went on their own and enjoyed, visiting the cave tubing excursion, Mayan ruins, zip line, drive into the village to shop. . All in all not a boring or unpleasant in any. We were entertained and happy about everything.
Javier, Mabel, and Brenda and their helpers were great. Javier kept things going. Mabel and the other women did our laundry every day. You can get by here with only toiletries and 3 pair of shorts and tshirts. Mabel is also the consierge and will help you with your Mayan air flights and set up any excursion you'd like to enjoy.
The Groovy, Tipsy & Jammin Gecko is beautiful and any bedroom is very well appointed and comfortable.
The wedding was handled by Mabel and went flawlessly. We told her what we had in mind and she made it happen.
Placencia is my vacation every year now and I plan on returning next January.

This beautiful house is everything it is advertised to be. It was immaculate, well appointed, and very comfortable. The chefs that cooked for us were good at what they do, very professional, and friendly. Housekeeping and concierge staff were also great. I wish I could transport this property, along with the staff, with me to every vacation destination from here on out. I have been spoiled and will have a hard time not comparing everywhere I stay to this place.
