About this house rental

Our sea front home is located in the south part of the very quaint, friendly and safe Garifuna fishing village of Hopkins. It has excellent views of the sea, sunrises and the Cayes from the 300 sq ft balcony.

During the week, the village tends to be fairly quiet ( except for the occasional rooster!) while on weekends the the area comes alive with music and activity.

The house has an open design, with vaulted, cathedral, tropical hardwood ceilings and large windows to maximize the Caribbean Sea breeze. Both bedrooms have split air conditioner units. With one queen bed, two twin beds ( which can be converted to a king bed) and a full futon in the living room, Casita Del Mar will comfortably sleep five-six people. Ceiling fans in each bedroom and two in the main living space give you alternatives for air flow.

A multi-filter system provides drinking water to both kitchen and bathroom allowing our guests easy access to unlimited fresh water.

There is a safe in the house where you can keep small valuables and documents so that you can relax worry-free on the beach.

Our one neighbour is away working in the States most of the time while the other is a friendly, elder woman of the village who keeps to herself but always has a moment to wave or say hello.

A short walk will get you to local grocery stores and a variety of restaurants. The beach is sandy, the water is 83 F and the Cayes, for snorkeling or diving, are only 5 miles out. Tired after swimming all morning? Relax in a hammock in the shade on the deck. Or check out the many adventure tours offered in the village from zip lining to cave exploration. Something for everyone.

Laundry facilities are available minutes away on the main street. Internet services are also available.

Our Property Manager, Cheryl, co-owns a popular local tour company and is ready to meet any of your adventure needs during your stay.

We do offer discounts for weekly (7 nights or more) stays. When you enter your dates, the site will calculate the discount for you!

Casita del Mar is registered and licensed with the Belize Tourism Board (BTB).

It isnt possible to rate this property without some background on Hopkins and the area around the property. The house and land is amazing, you have your own private beach and the home is equipped with everything you need and then some, like an awesome sea kayak. Inside the home there are plenty of dishes, utensils, and everything you need outside of a dishwasher and washer/dryer. I do think that is common in this area though and that has to be part of the overall review. Hopkins was a surprise to me. After a week there i can honestly say I loved my stay and we had an amazing time but i am not sure no matter how awesome this house and property may be or that it is a good choice for someone who is uniformed. Hopkins is a small, undeveloped, poor, and dirty town. Walking down the main road there are many unfinished dilapidated structures everywhere and to be honest a lot of trash and garbage. Hopkins is full of poverty and people live in conditions that some may refer to as abject poverty. This is no outside development here, no chain hotels or stores and you cant get a lot of things on a daily basis, such as avocados. There is though a charm to it and beautiful beaches, a reef and jungles all around. My wife loved our vacation but wont go back, my daughters and i are on the fence. What you see on line about Hopkins 100% does not inform you of the reality of Hopkins. A better option may be Samara, Costa Rica if you want a small, local type beach town.

The Casita was exactly as advertised, clean on the beach and beautiful property. Hopkins village was laid back and the restaurants were great. If you want a peaceful place with plenty of other activities to travel to then this is the place. The house and deck were just what we wanted.

We had a great stay in Hopkins. Casita del Mar was very comfortable. The view was incredible and the sun rises were amazing. We did a fair bit of work remotely during our two week stay and the wifi was very good. We had no problems with connectivity and did several virtual meetings. The kitchen was well-stocked with cups, glasses, pots, pans, cling wrap, and the like. We had plenty of towels, and the bedding was nice. The mattresses were good for me but a bit firm for my wife, but the property manager provided a couple of quilts that we put under the fitted sheet to make the bed a little softer. It's not noted in the descriptions nor in the pictures, but Casita del Mar is now a duplex--a second living area has been constructed under the original house (which is/was pictured on stilts). I don't believe this unit is for rent but rather for the personal use of the owners. They don't live there permanently but were around for part of our visit. They nice, friendly, and quiet, but you may not have the property entirely to yourself. Hopkins is a small village, and the location of Casita del Mar makes many things very walkable--several restaurants, grocery store, fruit stands, and laundry. To get a little farther afield, you might want to rent a car or a golf cart. We had very good food within walking distance and a couple of incredible meals down at the resorts south of the main village. We would definitely go back!

Very well-maintained and comfortable….close to Hopkins center and numerous restaurants and small Garifuna food stands. Beach area in front of the property extremely clean and well-groomed, unlike many of the properties nearby (trash, etc.). The kitchen was well-stocked if needed. The communal chickens were fun to watch….and even the neighborhood dogs on the beach were super chill! Villagers were perhaps the friendliest that we have ever interacted with anywhere.
