My husband and I spent a week at the Macaw house in Maya Beach. We feel that we could not have found a better place. Granted, the kitchen and bathrooms could use an update, but everything was very functional, and we cooked dinner every other day. The location offers gorgeous views of the beach and surroundings. We were able to swim every day, as the water was warm and had enough waves to make it fun, but not unsafe. Leo and Marvin were great for everything we needed and for organizing day trips. The proximity to the Green Parrot beach restaurant was a big plus, as we could just walk next door to have lunch or dinner. Also grocery store and bakery within walking distance. We rented a car and drove from Belize city airport, which was about 2:40 hours via the Coastal Highway. Still under construction, so a little slower, but shorter than going through Belmopan. Placencia is a quaint little town with great cute places to eat and enjoy the surroundings. We would love to come back.

What more can you say. ON. THE. BEACH. What a view! This is an older home but nicely decorated and well maintained. Relaxing environment. Nice kitchen, but hey, who prepares meals when you are on vacation. Maya Beach and nearby Placencia have some great restaurants. Beach chairs and shade shelter provided. If you have multiple electronic devices, bring an extension cord. The downstair room has a damp musty odor as in older houses but the upstairs is fine. Keep that in mind if you have breathing problems or allergies.

The place is dated, but it was clean and functional. The location is great. The bathroom needs a gut-job and remodel. It really didn’t have the cleanest feel, expecially the shower. We didn’t pay for five-star accomodations, so no real complaints, just letting people know what to expect. The only real problem was the beach. It was essentially unusable due to the trash washed up. It had not been cleaned/raked in quite some time. There was even a syringe laying there nicely in the piles. Yuk! Leo was great. They were very responsive. In fairness, I did not complain about the beach at the time we were there. If we had, I feel they likely would have done something about it.

What's not to like about a beach front property? The weather and ambience was to die for and definite win fir us..

The house was exactly as advertised! It was clean and right on the beach. The green parrot next door was our favorite place to eat and meet the locals! Leo and Marvin were exceptionally accommodating and couldn’t have asked for finer people! I’ll go back over and over and will not stay anywhere else! Love, love love!

Beautiful, quiet location near Placencia. The beach out front door is remarkable and there is a great bar next door. Can’t wait to return!

Was not as promised! It said screened in porch. It was not. The air was out our first night. We had to sleep on the porch. Yes, the porch. When we could not reach the manager we contacted the owner by email. He was very unhelpful, The beech was full of seaweed not cleaned to get to the water. The tv did not get local channels and did not have instructions to use it. The inside of the house was ok and it did have a view of beech. The hammocks where rotted. We were not offered compensation for the night we had to sleep on the the porch because the house was hot . The house was not bad after the air was repaired.

We had a lovely time-no hassles whatsoever! The Toucan was perfect - porch had a good breeze at all times-beach chairs were nice too... First time going thru VRBO and that was easy too! Will stay there again for sure!!

We loved this house on Maya Beach. It was very clean and comfortable and exactly as listed. Leo was very helpful answering all of our questions and helping us schedule tours. I highly recommend this rental home.

Lovely 2 bed/bath right on the water. Great amenities. Grocery store and a bar/restaurant within easy walking distance. Maya Beach is a great location. We will be back again. Leo and his staff were very helpful!

A lovely place to stay. Right on the water, walking distance to restaurants. My only disappointment was the cleanliness. Dead cockroaches in the frig (I understand this is the tropics so bugs in the house don’t bother me) and what looked like gecko droppings in the kitchen drawers. Again, don’t mind the geckos, just wondering if the place had been cleaned several days before our arrival. Despite this, I would return to this beautiful place.

We had the best time and Leo is excellent! The restaurants were great especially next door. We enjoyed visiting with John, Becky, and Henry. I’m looking forward to another trip to Belize!

Amazing, beautiful country and people. The house was perfect for our needs, and Leo the property manager was fantastically helpful in getting us connected to whatever we wanted to do. Can’t wait to go back!

Overall our stay was wonderful. Unfortunately, the TV did not work, but with the beautiful weather, I doubt we would have watched it very much. Access to the beach was amazing and lots of restaurants within walking distance. We did need someone to come out to look at the stove, but our request was answered immediately and the problem was fixed.

Ok

the Macaw house is a very nice, clean property in a great location right on the beach. walking distance to the grocery store and some great resturants made for a great trip. thanks Ken

The place was clean and as advertised. It was a perfect location to be home base while traveling around Belize! It was nice to be away from the activity of Placencia Village but still close enough to go in for coffee or groceries or to meet a guide for fishing! We will be returning 😊

very nice...

Our stay at the Carribean Delite was pure heaven! We stayed for 9 days and enjoyed each one of them. The property was clean and provided everything we needed for a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday. It was a pleasure to meet Ken and Leo provided everything that we needed. The property’s location is not only beautiful but convenient to restaurants, grocery store and bowling alley. My favorite of all was waking up to the sound of the birds and watching the waves lap up on the shore. I actually was able To enjoy a morning of paddle board on a sea of glass! Breathtaking!!! We will return!!!

Everything is great. Owner is very easy to deal with, and a good guy. I’ll be back

Leo was very helpful at the Green Parrot which is right there for anything you need. Kayak, paddle board, etc... nice little restaurant/bar too. Nice and quiet area. Would highly recommend

Relaxing! Belizean's are friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice spot to spend some warm up time. Clean and comfortable.

Pros: Right on the beach Close to grocery store Close to restaurants/other resorts - which we found out u can swim & use resort chairs if you buy drinks at their place! Cons: Some screens missing Porch not screened TV in/out upstairs, downstairs not working at all Porch furniture falling apart (my husband borrowed tools to fix) No cushions on any chairs/lounges Only 4 forks (although a lot of spoons) Beach was dirty with plastic bottles & other trash for first two days (was cleaned after that) Mostly a good experience as “right on the beach” listening to surf and getting breezes was wonderful. Water was warm & clear. There was some sea grass but not too bad. Glad we went. Will probably visit Belize again.

Stayed for a week, and had a wonderful time. The casita was perfect for our needs. Right on the beach. The sea breeze kept us cool and comfortable. We’re low key people, and the atmosphere here was just what we were looking for. The folks at the Green Parrot (right next door) were great for booking our day trips and the restaurant was a gem. (See Leo for booking your trips) Great food, cocktails. By the end of our trip we were on a first name basis with staff, as well as some of the locals. We’re already planning our return visit!!

So happy with the property. It’s description was right on and we could have been happier with our family of 4. Would defiantly recommend it!

Stayed with my two teen aged daughters. They appreciated the wifi. I appreciated the air conditioning. Leo was great helping us set up tours and giving advice. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

I had an overall pleasant time in Belize; Although It beganwith a negative start in the a case of personal property lost, I must admit that it was my euphoric mood that relieved me from the need to be cautious initially; The wake up call of reality in concern of devious human behavior did not lessen the nature and atmosphere I eventually absorbed from my stay...It was a plus; The management was professional, respectful and friendly...Hey to Leo and the Crew...KLM

What a great location. The natural looking landscapes and the cabin complement each other perfectly. The beach was deserted most of the time so it was like having our own private beach. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. They made us feel at home. Leo goes above and beyond to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We were unfortunately plagued by seaweed but that’s just the luck of the draw. We went to the Monkey river and fishing/ snorkeling with Elrin and had a great time every time. He’s so knowledgeable and skilled he definitely gave us our money’s worth.

What a nice little beach house(perfect for two people) with a small beach. The house is clean and has everything you need. The beach has a thatch covered tiki with hammocks and beach chairs to relax in and watch the sun come up with a cup of coffee or nap during the day. Located next to the Green Parrot resort which has a great caretaker named Leo who is always available to help you out or set up day trips. The restaurant is also fabulous. We loved Isabelkas cooking that we ate dinner there every night! We enjoyed Maya beach as it I's quieter then Placencia but only a 15 minute drive into town. Thank you Ken for sharing this great piece of paradise!

Beach was nice. Unfortunately in Feb sea grass came in most days as winds usually out of the east making it not great for swimming. Many good places to eat within walking distance. Vendors who travel up from the Punta Gorda area are very pleasant and not pushy at all. They do not barter unless multiple items are purchased as they are part of a cooperative that make and market the items. Leo is very helpful and knowledgeable. Unit has lots of linens and utensils.

Didn’t like lights on porch shining in our room all night. The beach was beautiful. We couldn’t sit on Green Parrot Beach. We were restricted to our own area. Didn’t like the hostility. Everyone else was fine.
