It was hard to contact anyone for help or questions. We had to figure it out or ask people on boat and hotel on the island

We loved the property it was great for our family gathering. The only thing to be aware of is there is not a beach out front as it shows. This is hard rock and not sand. Also, when we went to get into the water, there were like leaches that would attach to you. We were told they were water lice. Not sure but due to this not being an open body of water they grow in this area. Also, don't forget your bug spray. Mosquitos and sand flees are very very bad at times. We originally made arrangements with Corrina for our rental stay. It appeared she was setting everything up, however, once we arrived there was no one to pick people up etc. as had been communicated. Might have been a miscommunication, however, things continued to go array. From what we can tell Corrina has her own program that she runs on the outside. After we started inquiring, it appears that when you get things booked from Corrina they are much higher than normal and you don't know it. i.e. Golf Cart on line for 11 days was to be $1,400 BZD, however when we went to pay we were told $2,800 BZD. We later went in and asked just as a new customer and they reiterated again that the cost was to be $1,400. When we booked items through Corrina it appears she has an arrangement with vendors and you pay a higher amount which I am assuming goes to pay her. The same thing occurred on some of the tours we had arranged as well as the airline flights from the City to San Pedro. We paid $440 BZD when Corrina processed it and $350 when we did it on our own. We inquired if the rates changed daily and were told no they are always the same. Vivian, who is the new manager did an awesome job picking up the pieces and helping us get things back on track. She is a great manager and I would encourage working directly with her and Home Away. Additionally, we never did get a contract from Home Away it was always done with Corrina personally. Please note I am not making these comments against Corrina, simply to give future renters heads up as to what happened on our visit. All other cleaning and maintenance staff were great to work with and the property was a great location to stay.

House is amazing, all the staff on the island were super helpful, couldn't have enjoyed it more. We had 2 adults and 3 kids.

This was such a fantastic experience. The house was beautiful and clean. We spent lots of time in the infinity edge pool. The rooms were nice and cool with the AC. The WiFi worked well and the staff treated us so well. Never had a problem getting around. Dino was always there to answer our questions. Corrina was a great concierge and did everything to accommodate our group. I will recommend this place to all my friends.

We traveled with a group of 8 people (4 couples). I booked this house about a year ago and spoke with Corrina, via email and telephone, numerous times. I had many concerns as we had never been to Belize before. However, through phone conversations and research, my concerns vanished. Corrina set up all of excursions and they were phenomenal. The first day we were there, the group decided that they wanted to have a chef come to the house for the entire day. I called Teresa, Corrina's assistant/ property manager, and an hour later had the chef booked for the next day. We also decided to get massages on our pier the same day. One phone call was all it took and we had massages on our island on our dock the same day. We felt like royalty. It is tough to vacation this way!!! The chefs were amazing. All of our food that day was delicious...words can not do it justice. We were truly spoiled after this. However, the food in San Pedro is fantastic. We did not have one bad meal. The massages were excellent as well. The house is as pictured. It is fantastic. Villa 1 is perfect for a group of 8. One couple has to share a bathroom but it worked out as the bathroom they shared had two showers. There is a half bath downstairs for the group to use. We had plenty of dishes, cups, etc to prepare full meals. We did buy groceries in San Pedro prior to coming to the island. This house is on its own private island. We had the place to ourselves for six days and it was incredible. The views are breathtaking. We did not swim in the ocean much but we spent many hours lounging poolside. It was a five minute boat ride to San Pedro. This was perfect. We were able to have quiet time on the island and then party/site see in San Pedro when we wanted. Last, but not least...DINO...he did everything he could to make our stay fantastic. You could call him on the cell phone provided and he would be there momentarily. He did anything you asked of him at a moments notice. He really does an amazing job as the caretaker. He made our vacation so much more enjoyable. For those of you with concerns, don't be. Staying in this house was like being at a private resort. We had housekeeping every other day. The toilet paper was never empty. The water station was always full. We didn't have to do much other than lay by the pool and enjoy our vacation. We did a private snorkel trip with Tony from the Office. This was incredible. He took us to Hol Chan, Shark Ray Alley, and Mexico Rocks. He even took

From the moment I inquired until the day of our dreaded departure-Corrina went above and beyond in assisting us with planning what is to date...the most epic vacation we have ever had!!!She arranged for our very own private water taxi to transfer us from Belize Int'l Airport directly to the dock at Playa Villa Belize (Rum punch, music, and a fantastic start to our holiday included!) When we arrived our kitchen/bar was stocked with all of the items we pre-ordered on-line through the grocery provisioning service she hooked us up with - Lagniappe Grocery. I literally walked in the door and was like "omg, this place is insane! We actually get to live here for a week!" I was in my bikini and making margaritas for everyone within minutes and my husband was already preparing the BBq for the fresh fish we had ordered that Terressa was already marinating. Thanks Terressa! (Teressa and Kevin do the grocery provisioning and are also the owners of Lagniappe Belize Chef Services). They provided us breakfast, lunch, and dinner the next day and the food was so delish we ended up hiring them every other day we were there.( I may sound overly excited but I can't even begin to describe how smooth our trip was and how rare it is to receive such amazing service) Dino, Dino, Dino...I wish we could have kidnapped him! He was like one of the family by the time we departed. Dino was our Captain and is also the on-site Caretaker who is always there to help with anything! And we loved our little water taxi's to town and back...the weather was so nice, the water taxi to/from town was always looked forward to. (The water taxi is $2.50/person each way which was nothing compared to the pricing of the other taxi's in San Pedro town. And once we got dropped off at the dock at The Office Bar/Grill we could walk anywhere in town due to the close proximity of the property. For those of you, like myself, wondering if the property is too far from town- it's not. Basically, if they picked up the property and moved it 1 mile East they would be right in the middle of the Central Park in the heart of San Pedro. We loved that we could be in the hustle and bustle of town but then go back to the villa and have total privacy - away from it all.The snorkelling was amazing - Corrina hooked us up with a Catamaran Day Sail and Cave Tubing. We got to swim with Turtles, Nurse Sharks, , Sting Rays, and Manatees!! Best holiday ever - hands down!!
