About this apartment rental

‘Gibnut’ is a comfortable, vibrantly decorated, home-from-home that celebrates the tropical colours and natural hardwoods of Belize. Sleeping up to six people, its uplifting atmosphere is a joyous backdrop to your time on this phenomenal peninsula.

This two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo is conveniently located on the first floor within steps of the infinity pool, hot tub, beach and pier. Step inside to find a spacious and bright living area with a tropical flair, local artwork and exotic mahogany doors and cabinets.

Enjoy the sea air from the balcony or the cozy living room, complete with screened patio doors. If the sun has warmed you enough for the day, this home has air conditioning and ceiling fans to keep everyone comfortable. The games table will entertain your evenings, as will the cable TV, whilst the rocking chairs will encourage Caribbean daydreams and afternoon snoozes on the private balcony.

With a full, modern kitchen, you'll have no trouble whipping up meals while you're here!
Sit together at the breakfast bar to enjoy a quick breakfast of tropical fruit smoothies or a home-cooked dinner with local ingredients. You can also share meals outside on the covered balcony while overlooking the gardens and the sea beyond. A laundry means you can pack light and save space in your suitcase for gorgeous local souvenirs!

Please note that the property is on the first floor raised above ground level and requires the use of 6 steps to access it, making the property unsuitable for wheelchair users.

Our family of four was very comfortable in the condo, which had plenty of space and a well-stocked kitchen. Herbert was very helpful in answering questions promptly and giving us recommendations for a snorkel trip. We appreciated that the was spotlessly clean, had great, AC, and was just steps from the pool and sea. We also enjoyed the amenities, including beach cruisers, kayaks, and cornhole. Finally, we loved the restaurant just a short walk up the beach at the Naia resort. Our one discontent was a reality almost everywhere we visited on the Placencia Penninsula - that is, the effort on the part of condos/hotels to preserve the beach by building rock "seawalls." The result of these seawalls is about 6 feet of stagnant water with seaweed and trash between the edge of the beach and the rock walls. The smell was gross and it was an eyesore. We were able to swim off the pier, which was beautiful.
