Awesome stay. We really enjoyed the location and awesome view which is above the jungle outside of Santa Elena. We felt a part of the community. The pool is awesome and the wildlife viewing is great from the patio and pool area. Katia and her entire staff of workers were great as well.

Katia and Consuelo were great hosts. We traveled with our kids aged 4 and 6 and they absolutely loved everything. The house was clean and as described. The pool was fantastic. It was clean and went from about 2 feet deep to about 6 feet allowing the 4 year old to really improve his swimming. Lots of nearby activities kids can do including cave tubing. The house was ready for kids and had toys already there. Three cement floors were great because we didn't need to worry admit kids tracking in pool water. The outdoor dining room was great also. Afternoon and overnight breezes made sleeping with fans and the sounds of nature pleasant. There is a bedroom with AC if you really need it, but we didn't find it necessary. Highly recommend staying here.

We just loved our time in this beautiful home. Tons of space, completely surrounded by nature, well equipped home, brilliantly designed to take advantage of the breeze, a refreshing pool to dip in, dark sky for stargazing, perfect view of the sunset and sunrise, tucans in the trees during sunrise, comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, lots of towels, and the host is a wealth of knowledge on the area and super responsive! We highly recommend!

We had an amazing stay in Santa Elena. This house and property are very well stocked and kept. It’s a beautiful property that’s is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the effort. The breezy porch is perfect for morning coffee. A note about the swimming pool, it was too cold for our liking. Perhaps because we are northerners and used to heated pools. We had Consuelo prepare a meal for our arrival, including a cake from a local bakery that she picked up for us. This was for a birthday and was fabulous!! I can not praise Consuelo enough. She greeted us on our arrival and explained everything and was there for our departure. We definitely recommend this house.

The home was a great place to stay and provided a new experience of life in a jungle-like environment. It was amazing!

Our stay was full of wonderful surprises. Toucans every morning just off the deck, SEVEN in a single tree while we sipped coffee. Parrots, jays and a host of other feathered friends regularly visited. Consuelo was gracious and so helpful when we arrived. She cooked us two delicious regional dinners and gave us a tortilla making “class” that had us all laughing and learning. The beds and bathrooms were comfortable and accommodating. We booked multiple adventures through BZ Adventures and they picked us up and returned us home on time with no hassle. We struggled a few nights with a small pack of sweet but barking dogs at night but Consuelo sorted that out for us. We would stay there again! Don’t miss the weekend market, ATM cave and Tikal, all within reach from this home. Kitchen had everything if you want to cook but between Consuelo and local restaurants we enjoyed amazing regional foods. Don’t hesitate to enjoy Consuelo’s authentic cooking! She is a gem and so is this house.

This home is gorgeous, peaceful and spacious. The grounds are immaculately cared for with lovely walking paths. The back deck and pool overlook the back yard. We saw toucans every morning in addition to squirrels, lizards and other cool birds. The kitchen has all the basics; salt, coffee, dishes. The driveway and roads leading to the property are awful. Ruts, holes, etc. but part of the adventure that is Belize. No kidding though, worst we encountered anywhere in Belize. I strongly recommend this property to anyone! We enjoyed our stay immensely.

This property was just amazing! The layout was perfect for our family…we like to spread out and there was plenty of room to do that. With the bedrooms on either end of the house, we all met in the middle for meals and to enjoy the incredible view from the back. We cook a lot, and the house had everything we needed. We just wished we were staying longer to enjoy more of the view, but we had so many things planned. Don’t miss the Iguana Conservancy and the VIP tour at the Raptor Center is a can’t-miss! AJAW Chocolate in town was super fun and educational. We love supporting the local community! Thank you, Katia, for being an incredible host!

We enjoyed our stay and saw Toucans in the mornings as well as parrots and Kiskadees. The house is well laid out and there was lots of space for our family to either come together or separate off and find interesting nooks and corners to sit, watch the vista or just nap. The view from the veranda is gorgeous. It’s an artistic and creative house with lots of effort going into making it aesthetically pleasing. There are amenities in easy reach and the local bakery on the main road was really fantastic. Consuelo was there to greet us and show us the ropes. A big thank you to Katia and Consuelo.

Very nice place with a great view, saw lots of birds.

We had an amazing experience in San Ignacio. This home is a little away from downtown but that’s what makes it amazing. The views are amazing. Every morning we would watch the sun rise. Consuelo was an amazing cook and hostess for the property. I agree with other reviews-have her cook for you. Katia there property owner was amazing to communicate with and coordinate our stay. She was very responsive to all of our questions and needs. The pool was amazing after a long day of hiking ruins and exploring. You will want to stay here if visiting San Ignacio.

I can’t even begin to describe how lovely this property and the people renting it, and supporting it are. We showed up a hot mess with a 11-year old who we thought had an ear infection. Drops were not helping, so the owner, Katia helped us find a local Doctor. Then, the manager not only showed us around (more on Consula and the property in a second) she drove to the doctor and helped us navigate the doctor, parking, location. When you drive up you will be wondering if you have been tricked (2-wheel drive works) and might be driving to a hut. You will find it, and turn into a different world. The home is so cool. The wind gives you natural A/C, Consula will make you the most amazing dinners and breakfast (oh my goodness the flour tortillas- I will dream of them) She isn’t on site. The pool is like a slice of heaven. The whole experience is the most relaxing 48 hours I’ve ever had. Go. Go. Now. I can’t even tell you how much you will unwind.

Our family had an amazing stay at Katia's property. She was always very responsive to our questions. We highly recommend a meal prepared by Consuelo. After a long day of travel, we were warmly greeted to a tour of the property and a authentic Belizean meal - such a great way to start our stay in Belize. We enthusiastically can recommend this VRBO!!!

I love this house and location! I stayed here in 2019 with my family and happily came back in 2022 with some friends. Katia was extremely helpful and communicative and also very accommodating with the cost when we had a person decide not to come on the trip at the last minute. I highly recommend sitting out on the veranda watching the toucans, lounging in the pool with a Belikin, and having Consuelo cook you a delicious Belizean meal.

Semi private. The home is growing a bit tired, but still very comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay at this rental. The views were great from the deck and we enjoyed the meal we had pre-arranged for our arrival. The only negatives were that the pool was really too cold to swim in and the morning our our check out, the housekeepers arrived at 8:30 am to clean. Check out was supposed to be at 11 am. We had plans to leave around 9:15 anyway so asked them to wait until we left so they just sat outside in the car, it made us feel quite rushed to leave. Not the best way to end our stay but otherwise a nice place.

We really enjoyed our stay Casa Hill View. It's a spacious, clean, airy home and is equipped with everything you would need for your stay. Katia and Consuelo were both easy to reach and communicate with. Consuelo referred us to a great local guide, Oscar, who took us zip-lining, cavetubing, and to visit ATM, Mayan ruins and other sights along the way. The house is located on the top of a scenic hill with great views of the countryside. After our excursions during the day, being able to take a dip in the pool was very refreshing. If you want to enjoy a meal at the house, Consuelo is a good cook and her tamales are especially delicious. The wifi worked really well in the kitchen, living room and the bedroom next to the kitchen, but the signal was not strong enough on the other side of the house in the other bedrooms. I recommend renting an all wheel drive vehicle to be able to get up the dirt road to the house and also to drive on some of the dirt roads around the area.

Fantastic! We had so much fun at Casa Hill View! The kids loved the swimming pool that was always refreshing after a day of hiking or seeing ruins in the humidity. Toucans, iguanas and even a couple parrots were common in the morning and afternoon off the back deck and the view is spectacular! Katia was fantastic to communicate with and always quick to answer any questions we had. One of the fun highlights for the kids was having Consuelo (the care taker) cool dinner for us. The food was amazing and she even made a birthday cake for our son on his birthday! San Ignacio felt very friendly and the people were wonderful. We had several people help us with a flat tire after we dropped the spare and found that to be flat as well. They made sure we made it to a mechanic to get air in the spare so we could head out to get the tire replaced. 100% recommend Casa Hill View when staying in San Ignacio. Thank you!

I cannot say anything negative about the property or its management. The house is spacious, comfortable, well maintained, well equipped, and beautifully furnished. The pool is large enough to have fun while cooling off. We worried that the home has no A/C. However, A/C is not necessary due to the design of the home and the fans, which efficiently blow air throughout the home.Consuelo, the manager, is lovely, as is her assistant, Lilian. Both of whom met us upon arrival to show us the house details.Katia, the owner, always responded promptly to every question. If we ever return to Belize, we hope to stay at Katya's home again.

I can not say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home. Plenty of space for a large family and all the kitchen supplies you would ever need. The covered back porch offers alfresco dinging and unobstructed views of the jungle. The pool is large enough to swim laps. All the windows and huge glass doors open to allow  in fresh air and cool breezes. The owner Katia is very accommodating and available. There is also an on-site maintenance manager is you need anything. I look forward to staying again in the future. FYI, if you do not have a car, there are several restaurants in town that will deliver.

My family of seven had the most wonderful stay at the Casa Hill Villa in St. Elena. The property itself is amazing...not kitschy cool but warm and homey. We immediately felt at ease. Having driven up the driveway in the dark, with a desperate hope that someone would be able to help us find our destination, we find Consuelo and her friend throwing open the door to welcome us inside to an amazing space with a great dinner to feast upon. We were so grateful to have this home to finish out each day after our adventures and explorations. Thank you very much!!

This property is suitable for a stay of any length but is particularly enjoyable for a long stay. The view is glorious and ever-changing and just when you think it could not look more beautiful, the toucans will fly over the house and pose in the tree in front of you, the pool is perfect for a "chill" day and kept meticulously clean by the seemingly invisible caretakers, and the housekeeper comes twice a week to change linens and clean - and if you ask her in advance, she will cook you delicious Belizean peasant food that is perfect when you feel like a night in. The linens are good quality, towels are available in abundance, and the wi-fi works without failure.The property has excellent security features and is beautifully landscaped but most importantly, it is 5 minutes to town where an abundance of good restaurants of all types are available. From the usual seafood and steak houses to lebanese, indian, Belizean, and great brunch. Plus excellent street food.Most importantly of all, the property manager Katia will actively support your vacation success. She accommodated date changes, listened to my hobby list and suggested activities and places, and double-checked that we were comfortable and looked after. You could not ask for better hospitality.Stay here - you will enjoy it immensely!!

My husband and I wanted to take the kids to do something amazing for our 20th Anniversary. This was the perfect choice. We saw much beauty and had some great adventures. The house was perfect and those associated with the house were very warm, kind and helpful. Thanks very much, we will never forget our time spent in Santa Elena.

The home, grounds, and staff were fantastic enough to make this a great rental, but the view from the porch and pool is magnificent. The fog between the hills at sunrise, brisk breeze from the Caribbean in the afternoons, the abundance of flowering plants and stone paths. There are several fruiting trees and bird feeders kept full that attract all sorts of colorful birds. We saw two different types of toucans everyday. It was almost too difficult to go out adventuring because the home is so comfortable and the landscape so beautiful. It is also very conveniently located to the amenities of town and all of Cayo districts sightseeing.

Beautiful views, grounds and wonderful hospitality!

I would highly recommend staying at This home. It’s inviting, warm, and quiet. The entire house is well equipped with anything you need, even coffee and olive oil. We had such a wonderful time. Consuela also cooked for us one night, fabulous meal for a fabulous day!!!! Thank you-

We had a great time. The location is quite remote, making it a peaceful refuge to hang out on. Watched Mgr the birds on the backyard is great. The pool was a lifesaver on the heat. A very unique and cool house. Consuela was awesome as well. Cooked us a nice meal on our arrival.

Perfect house for a getaway with the family. My wife and our two young boys spent three perfect days at the house. Good location for day outings. One of the nicest and coolest houses we've stayed at....and the CD collection! Outstanding! Thanks again Katia!

This is an absolute gem of a house. Our family of 4 stayed here 5 nights and loved every minute of it. The house is situated to make the most of the afternoon breeze (it was always way cooler here than in town). It also feels like you are in the middle of the jungle, not just a mile from town. It is a great place to stay while exploring the ruins and site of the area (and whatever you do, ATM cave is an absolute MUST). I loved getting up early and sitting on the pool-side patio and listen to the bird calls. My kids adored the pool. All the furniture in the house is interesting and top notch, and notably the beds are very comfortable. We cooked many meals here and the kitchen has everything you need. We also had Consuelo cook us a meal which was top notch! I can’t belive there could possibly be a better place to stay in the area than this house!!
