About this villa rental
You will just love this two bedroom, two bathroom beachfront villa. A private pool with deck, palapa on the the beach with bar and hammocks are available to fulfill your vacation dream. The house is fully fenced in and faces east for those perfect sunrises.
This home is set back from the road to provide more privacy. There is a sweeping staircase up to the living area. Huge open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen. The island is spacious enough to comfortable seat six, the kitchen is fully equipped with the latest appliances, crockery and cookware. Living and bedroom areas have great artwork from both local and international artists. If you like to BBQ, there is a gas grill on the balcony to fix your perfect Caribbean dinner.
The master bedroom with queen bed has a full ensuite bathroom and dressing area. It has a walkout balcony that leads down to the pool and beach.
The second bedroom has two queen beds and also has a walkout balcony that leads down to the pool and beach.
The second bathroom has shower, toilet and single vanity. There is also a separate laundry room with washer, dryer and ironing board.
The swimming pool and deck are just off the house, and there is also a freshwater shower by the pool for rinsing off after you have been in the pool or ocean. On the beach there is a private palapa with hammocks, and your own little beach bar - bring your own bartender! And a double seater kayak awaits you too.
The house is centrally located in Maya Beach, just a short walk to the nearest grocery store and a selection of restaurants including Azure del Mar, Mangos and more. We do recommend a car rental for getting around. We also have 2 bikes if you prefer to be active.

Our stay was a wonderful. Maya beach was quiet, relaxing and peaceful. Herbert did a great job communicating with us and helping us find things to do.

We stayed at Marlys Place for 8 nights !
This place is beautiful and peaceful ! It was the most relaxing vacation and Herbert was great! Even though they are building a house next door they didn’t start until 8 and really could not hear the hammering inside the house . We had such a great time and the pool was great in afternoon when hot outside !
Thanks Herbert for all your help and for letting us stay in your beautiful home !

Marly’s place is a great property. The house is very clean with everything you need. They include a large 5 gallon bottle of water.
You can walk to some restaurants nearby. It’s only about 15-20 min to placencia town.
It’s quiet. There is some snorkeling if you swim out from the property. We saw multiple large starfish there.
The pool is great and was good enough size for us to have fun during our stay.
I didn’t want to leave on our last day. I would definitely love to come back.

We absolutely loved our stay at this villa! The views are amazing, and the location can't be beat. It is minutes away from some of the highest rated restaurants in the country, but is within walking distance to a local grocery store if you prefer to use the fully stocked kitchen. It is an easy, approximate 20 minute drive to the town of Placencia, where a lot of the tours and excursions depart from. The pool was clean and we really enjoyed spending time by it each day. Additionally, we felt very safe at all times, as the house has a security system and is gated. We would highly recommend this property!

Herbert and crew are top notch service and communicators. 5th time to BZ, top 3 stays for sure. Very secure and well maintained for a BZ waterfront property. Due to it's more northern location, we switched from a cart to a car rental. This made trips to the village faster and more comfortable and also allows exploring beyond like Hopkins and jungle drives. Use LEO's. Decent cars for BZ rentals and Marvin is very accommodating.
Construction next door wasn't really a problem. While we were there, work hours were 8 or 9 AM to around 4PM.
The pool is small but affective on those hot days. We used it more than expected. This is a bonus for sure...
FYI - The reef is further out than places like San Pedro or Caye Caulker, but the diving and fishing is sooooo much better.

I cannot say enough about our experience. The house is beautifully situated, with a wrap around deck for early morning and sunset views; dips in the pool serve as an alternate viewpoint :). The home is immaculately clean, comfortable, and well-decorated. The available double kayak afforded us a paddle to False Caye and a great snorkel. Easy walk to restaurants, a grocer, and even a bowling alley (though we did not visit). Herbert the host was also incredibly communicative and kind. Would happily return!

Property is as described, clean and safe. The beach and pool were the perfect place to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather. Definitely visit the bakery down the street. Groceries and restaurants were easily accessible by a short drive. The house was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The construction next door was ongoing and did provide some noise throughout the day but it did not hinder our relaxation. It was actually fascinating to watch the process and progress throughout our stay. We would book this property again.

Had a great stay here, and the property manager was super responsive any time we had a request. Blender broken? Boom! One showed up on our doorstep a few hours later. The house is in short walking distance to a mid-sized grocery store and an outdoor bar. There is a lot of construction going on in Maya Beach, including the house right next door to this one, but we knew that when we booked (January 2024). Looks like they're nearing the end, though, so in a few months that shouldn't be an issue.

The house next store was under construction and all the days of the stay there were jackhammers, saws, and compressors running. Also a lot of hammering and shouting all day.This could be heard throughout the house and on the beach so there was no relaxing at the house. To top it off there were dogs barking all night. The owner should disclose more than there is some construction next store.This was not a relaxing stay and not what you would expect for a beach front property at this price. Very disappointed

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very pretty, clean and well kept. Herbert was great about answering all the questions we had, he gave great detail and helped us out a lot. He left plenty of recommendations for trips and restaurants that were all great places. We had an amazing time.

Great location, very nice house, excellent vacation. Most everything in good condition though a few tired items around the pool. Be sure to visit the baker across the street!

Where to begin? The pool, the ocean view and breeze - amazing. Beautiful spacious home with SO many amenities. You will never run out of towels or kitchen items - well stocked. The property manager was professional and friendly and very responsive. Safe environment with home security. Near great restaurants and very close to the heart of Placencia. This was our second trip to the area, we love it so much.

The location of Maya Beach is probably where we would stay again knowing the pennisula now. The home is amazing and spread out so nicely for our group of 5.
We even grabbed a movie and dinner with our amazing neighbors and were able to enter the water from their entrance that was more accesible to the water.
We are VERY happy with the home and experience! Tip wear water shoes got a little crab that clamped down on my toe.... Having coffee in that seaside cabana was LIFE and the private pool was SO entertaining for all of us!
Thank you!!

This is a wonderful property in a phenomenal place/location. We were super thrilled at how easy it was to prep for the trip, stay during the trip and check out. The property manager was extremely fast to respond and so very helpful with giving us suggestions.
The house is fantastic, very clean, very nice amenities. We will be back.

This house was the perfect base for our visit to Placencia - within driving distance of both Placencia and spots north (highly recommend an ATV tour at Mayan Sky!) and after several days in a resort setting, the privacy and space to ‘spread out’ was excellent. House was clean and well stocked, pool and access to the beach was great, beautiful stormy skies and lots of stars at night. Host is very on top of things, communication is clear and friendly, and house has an extra security system if desired. Def would recommend.

Perfect place on the beach!
Marly's Place is our go-to in Placencia. It is well-designed, well-outfitted, and just an extraordinarily pleasant place to relax and recharge. The rooms are large and spacious, with plenty of counter and closet space. There's a spot for everyone to enjoy: a comfy couch in the AC, soft beds for an afternoon nap, chaise lounges by the pool on the sun deck, rafts to float in the sea, adirondacks on the breezy shaded veranda, the hammock in the beach palapa... take your pick! The kitchen is equipped with enough pots, pans, utensils, etc, that you can actualy make a dinner meal; the dishwasher, large fridge and washer and dryer are appreciated (as anyone with kids will agree, these are crtical for parental enjoyment of any trip!). The supply of linens, towels and basics was more than ample, and property manager was a delight to work with - prompt, informative, and helpful replies to all my queries. The pool was well-maintained, and kept its clear water even after a few evening thunderstorms and regular use. The beach has a mix of sand and seagrass, with very gentle waves and shallow water. Sargassam was present a few days of our stay, but there aren't many places along the coast where you can aviod it when it flairs. In June of 2022, the property to the south was an undeveloped lot for sale, with a old pier in the sea - a bit rickty, but a nice place for my kids to fish from - and to the north are friendly and fairly quiet neighbors who live in Belize full-time. If this is your first time to this part of Belize, note that Marly's is a 20-minute drive (by car, not golf cart!) from Placenica town but just a few minutes from the restaurants in Maya Beach.

Private Paradise
The property and home are more beautiful than what is portrayed in the online pictures. There is such a beautiful view off the back of the house and it was very private.
We enjoyed the pool every day and hammock. We loved the privacy here and felt so comfortable and relaxed.
Herbert was very responsive to our inquiries before we arrived as well as when we arrived.
We rented a car and would definitely recommend that as opposed to renting a golf cart.
This was our first trip to Belize and my daughter is already asking if we can return next year.
We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Great Home in a Great Location
This was our second trip to the Placencia area of Belize. We were looking for a home in Maya Beach as we enjoyed that area on our previous stay. We selected Marly's Place since it was within walking distance of a grocery store and one of the best restaurants we had found in the Placencia area located at the Maya Beach Resort. Herbert was a great host answering all of our questions prior to arrival and provided a smooth contactless entry process to access the home. Marly's Place is well equipped, has a great pool, and the furnishings, including beds, were clean and very comfortable. I would very much recommend this property to a family of four or two couples traveling together.

We really enjoyed our time at Marly's Place. It was everything if not better than what they showed in the pictures. It was extremely well built. All the features were very purposeful. Having private access to the pool and the gate for the beach made us feel very safe. Walking out each morning to the sweet smell of the perfectly manicured tropical landscaping they had done was fantastic. the plans were perfectly positioned to keep the winds from getting too high on the porch, with just enough breeze to make it comfortable and keep the bugs away.
It was little bit of a drive outside of Placencia, about 25 mins by golf cart, but very reasonable. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Herbert the property manager was incredibly helpful and responsive. We could not have asked for a better host.

We had a wonderful time at this property! The sunrises are beautiful! There isn’t much around so make sure you try and do shopping prior to arriving on the peninsula. There are so many beautiful restaurants in the area as well. The home was very clean when we arrived and well appointed. We would love to go back!

Best experience with a property manager ever!
We, family of 4 (teens 13 and 15) stayed 5 nights at this lovely home. What was most striking was how clean it was and also the unprecedented attentiveness and quick responses of Herbert!! He was perfectly available. The pool was so lovely. We spent much time in it during the afternoons. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had everything you could need. Lots of towels and linens available. Lots of restaurants/bars close by. About a 20 minute drive to the Village of Placencia. Would recommend a car rather than golf cart if you plan to go there often (more restaurants and shops). Although taxis are available and tours will pick you up at the house if needed. We would stay here again.

Lovely beach property
We love everything about the property, very clean and welcoming. Fully equipped and the pictures don’t capture how bright and airy the space is.
Will definitely be staying again.
Thanks for letting us use your beautiful house.
