We had a wonderful stay at the White House! The house is clean, comfortable and in the perfect location. Its private sand area and beach front location is perfect to hang out for the day. Easy to walk along the beach to the center of town or walk the other way for a nice sandy stroll. Monique cooked for us several times and she knows the local cuisine well! I highly recommend some meals at the house. Eduardo, the property manager, was friendly and helpful. You always feel there’s someone to call if you need them. Priceless for our first time there! I highly recommend this place If you’re looking for a getaway! It’s perfect.

Beautiful home right on the beach. We were very comfortable and couldn't be happier about the location--walking distance to everything. The hosts are superb! Great communication and very helpful when needed. Thank you."

this is the second time i have stayed at the white house. i could not think of a better place to spend my birthday. the house and the views are amazing. kirsten & per the owners were so nice. thank you for the birthday note and cake. anyone who gets a chance to stay here will love every minute .

The home was extremely clean and well appointed with all of the amenities you could need during the stay. There were also several local snacks and beverages on the counter and in the refrigerator for us upon arrival. There was also a local cell phone there which we carried whenever we traveled to the local attractions she recommended. We never needed it but it provided great peice of mind. The owner kept in contact in the week's leading up to the trip and notified us whenever COVID requirements changed.

This was our 4th time to stay at the White House and as usual it was amazing. Kirsten and Per are wonderful hosts and their on-site staff is superb. I hate to leave another 5-star rating as I think they deserve a 10-star rating! If you want to feel like you are at 'Your" home for a short getaway or long getaway, highly recommend the White House. And, corny as it sounds, you better Belize we'll be back at the White House soon! Christie Bybee

I cant say enough good things about this property and the owners. Everything was taken care of as if we were at a resort. Eduardo was an amazing caretaker and extremely helpful. The owners kept in constant contact with us to ensure simple travel during a difficult time of Covid. We cannot wait to get back. One of our best vacations ever!

We had a wonderful time. So clean and such a lovely well maintained property!

I have been coming to Placencia for 17 years, and The White House was by far my favorite place to stay! The location is ideal, and it is just beautiful! The owners also go out of their way to provide EXCELLENT customer service in a time where even decent customer service is becoming a rare event. The house is filled with every amenity you can think of and even some you can't, but are so happy to see. I cannot wait until our next visit! Thank you for everything, Kirsten!

This property was perfect for our family vacation. Steps from the beach and the Placencia sidewalk, close to grocery stores and a lovely bakery it has everything you need! Owners and care takers are very communicative, knowledgeable and super helpful. Cannot say enough good things about this beautiful home!! We would come back in a heartbeat! Thank you.

We spent another week at The White House in early June 2021. Our family, my wife and our two adult children, along with their spouses, had another amazing vacation. After a trip together there in March 2020, we asked our kids if they wanted to try a different place in Belize. They both agreed that this home is perfect and they were anxious to return and explore the Placencia community further. The White House accommodations, hospitality, and location is ideal for a small group who wants to spend time together while also going different directions to enjoy all that Placencia has to offer. The home has an amazing view of the ocean sunrise and a cool breeze all day long. The rooms offer enough space and cool off at night for anyone who wants to listen to the waves while sleeping. The kitchen and supplies are perfectly adequate for meal prep but we chose to enjoy the various restaurants and street vendors in the area. The location allows for simple walks down the famous sidewalk for shopping and dining or using the main street to access numerous shops, excursions, and food. The lack of a pool at the house is no concern as it only takes a few minutes and $5 to enjoy the Beach Club up the shore. The White House really is perfect for us and a home I would be proud to own. Thank you Per and Kirsten for sharing it with our family.

We spent the holidays at the White House in Placencia (Dec. 2018 into Jan. 2019) and had a fantastic time. The view is incredible and the accomodations are comfortable and clean. Three bedrooms were great for our crew of 4. Loved the outdoor shower off the master bedroom. The kitchen was great as we enjoyed cooking, mixing our version of Caribbean cocktails, and eating breakfast at home since not everyone gets up at the same time. Wi-fi was also great which meant the world to our video-editor son who needs fast internet. We did use the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night because of the humidity but there is a great breeze blowing through the house when the doors are open. The TV has more channels than anyone could possibly need (I got hooked on an Indian show that made no sense to me but was visually stunning and the kids got into Amazon Prime and Netflix so they were wanting for nothing). Nick took excellent care of us, as did Vilma. Having a washer and dryer meant packing less stuff! We rented a golf cart for the 2 weeks and enjoyed our drives in and around Placencia. By day 10 I was looking at Placencia real estate! One of the big grocery stores is at the end of the street, a 4 minute walk. Some of the restaurants in town were hit or miss though we had consistently excellent meals at Dawn's and The Shak. We also rented a car for a day and drove to Mayflower/Bocawina for ziplining and a waterfall hike. The boys went diving with Splash and enjoyed their trips. All in all a great vacation!

The White House is a beautiful home with fabulous views. The home is within walking distance to may good local restaurants and grocery stores. The restaurants are great and the kitchen is very well outfitted to prepare meals. There is a grill available for BBQs. Nick, the care taker, and Vilma, the caterer where very helpful. And, I highly recommend Vilma’s catering service. The people of Placencia are friendly, welcoming and helpful. My son managed to sink a large SUV into soft sand on a side road, but the neighbors rallied and dug us out. The whole family is looking forward to visiting Placencia, the new friends we made, and the White House again soon.

Six of our family members stayed at the White House during our trip to Placencia to celebrate our daughters wedding. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay. The location was perfect - right there on the water with a breathtaking ocean view from the balcony, and close to the charming shops and restaurants. The house had everything we needed, plus some. We had the time of our lives, and we're grateful this home provided us with everything we needed to enhance our stay. I would definitely stay here again.

The house and property are fantastic. The house is very comfortable and makes you feel at home. There is plenty of things to do in Placencia. There are lots of beach bars and places to eat with in a short walk. Kirsten and Per where great to work with. They answered all my questions and made me feel welcome. I can not think of any where else I would want to stay. I would recommend The white House to any one going to Belize.

The White House in Placencia is perfect for everything from relaxing on the beach to walking over to local restaurants and bars and driving inland for day trips. The house was very welcoming and the beach was stunning. There's nothing better than feeling the cool ocean breeze throughout the entire house after opening up the large glass doors to the balcony. There is plenty to do within walking distance in the village. Make sure to check out Barefoot Bar & Tipsy Tuna. We took a boat trip where snorkeled and caught fish. Our guide, Matthew, took us to a private island where he cooked up our freshly caught fish. It was delicious! All of the cafes and restaurants are delicious and all the locals are very friendly. I recommend checking out the local bowling alley, Jaguar Lanes just north in Maya Beach for any rainy days. Make sure to ask Nick for some fresh coconut water! Can't wait to come back.

A fantastic place to stay with family and friends (probably the best in Placencia). It's close to everything and has anything you'd need. Staying at the White made our vacation effortless and relaxing.

The White House in Placencia was more than words. Per and Kirsten make sure the house is in pristine condition and have any amenity you could possibly think of, as well as any kitchen gadget you could think of. The view of the beach is breathtaking and there are so many places to relax and lay out with a book. The house is right at the end of the sidewalk to walk to most of the restaurants in town (our favorites were Tipsy Tuna and Barefoot Bar). We also went fishing and snorkeling with Matthew and made sure the fridge was always stocked with coconut water from Nick (so tasty!). The banana farms were all closed for the season when we went, but we took a trip to Ix Cacao, a cacao farm, and got to tour the farm and make our own chocolate! If you rent a car while you’re there, make sure to drive down to Turtle Inn and Maya Beach, too! They are resorts that have great food and pools, as well as being right next to the beach. Definitely will be staying here again!

Don't pass on this place!! Absolutely perfect for a vacation in Placencia. A safe and beautiful walking distance to everything Placencia has to offer - 5 minutes to the grocery store, 2-10 minutes to various restaurants and shops (for whatever vibe you're looking for- on the beach, tucked within the trees, indoors, outdoors, cheap fare, fancy meals, local dives, coffee, desserts), 5 seconds to the beach and a short 5-20 minute drive to resorts nearby. The house is spotless and fully stocked - all kitchen supplies, beach towels, bath towels, etc. The caretaker, who lives nearby, was easily accessible for anything we needed which is very comforting when in a new place! Highly recommend Sweet Dreams for their fresh fruits smoothies (5 min walk), Ixcacao for their cacao farm, chocolate making, and lunch tour (about 2.5 hours away), Barefoot Bar for dinner and drinks (5min walk), and Turtle Inn for lunch on the beach and to hang by the pool (5 min drive).

This VRBO is truly a gem. Incredibly comfortable and clean. The location is amazing and house is just steps from the water. The best part is the evening breeze on the balcony. I was able to walk everywhere in Placencia and it was super quick to grab a bite to eat. Really appreciated the ease of communication and remarkably pristine bathroom accommodations. Thank you!!

This is my fifth time in Placencia (fourth time staying this house) and the stay was awesome as usual. I came with my boyfriend and two other couples for a "couple's retreat" vacation. The house was wonderful - had everything we could possibly need and lots of space for the 6 of us. We came during August so it was rainy most early mornings and late evenings but mid-day was always sunny & clear. Even despite sargassum coming to Placencia, we had a wonderful stay & had plenty to do and places to relax. We highly recommend going to Ixcacao for a cacao farm tour (we recommend the Gold tour!) and stopping at Nim Li Punit on the way home. If you want to use a pool, we recommend going to Turtle Inn for a drink & a swim, or getting happy hour appetizers (3-5pm) (they're ALL delicious!) & coconut water at Maya Bistro and swimming in the pool or laying in a hammock. Sweet Dreams has great breakfast sandwiches and Rick's Cafe has great pizza. Barefoot Bar has tons of drink & food options - I recommend the coconut curry shrimp dinner! Top Value is right down the street from the house if you want to cook at the house (the kitchen has even tool/appliance you could possibly need!). Also ask Nick (the caretaker) for some fresh coconut water & coconut meat. Would highly recommend this house for any family, couples, or friends, and definitely plan on coming back!

A lovely house in a tremendous location. A delightful house that came well equipped with everything you could need as well as great views from the terrace. The sliding glass doors need a practiced touch to open and close but are soon mastered and open up the house to ocean breezes. Step straight from the house onto the beach, although an unusually heavy seaweed inundation meant the water was less clear than usual. We walked the short distance to the beach in the village to avoid the seaweed. The Sidewalk led straight into Placencia, a friendly village with a great selection of bars, restaurants, shops and tour operators. There are several supermarkets with the closest just a few minutes walk at the end of the street. There are plenty of options for relaxing or keeping busy; we took advantage of the location and went snorkeling, manatee watching, river tubing, and went on trips into the jungle and visited fascinating Mayan archeological sites.

The home is equipped with everything you need to stay in and situated 2 blocks away from Placencia village to make going out beyond easy. Hosts gave a wealth of information on touring and dining options too! Check and out were seamless! Can't wait to return!

Our family had its first time experience in Placencia staying at the White House and it was fantastic! When we first arrived, the weather was perfect and the water was warm and beautiful. We all enjoyed a swim! Even as the weather deteriorated throughout our stay, we continue to enjoy a beautiful view of the beach and the ocean. The longer we stayed, the more we realized we had the perfect spot in Placencia Village. We never even had to rent a car or golf cart! We could walk everywhere! Also, a huge convenience that was not common to many rentals is that we could drink the water in the house! That made our stay so much more relaxing. The people and the food were fantastic but for one unfortunate experience buying fish from a woman named Brenda at the pier. We had tummy troubles after that, but in speaking to our caretaker, Nick, just before we left, she is notorious for selling unsafe fish. Beyond that, everything was amazing! We especially loved the Pickled Parrot on trivia night and Rumfish for lunch. You MUST have the lion fish carpaccio at Rumfish! The people were so friendly. And Kirstin was so helpful and responsive! There is no place better to stay than the White House in Placencia!

For our family of four, the White House in Placencia was picture perfect. It was exactly as described. The house was fully equipped and well maintained. Everything was clean and ready to use. It had a perfect, large kitchen complete with a dishwasher. The bathrooms are clean and up to date. We loved the outdoor shower in the master bath - private but with a wonderful ocean breeze. We immediately opened the huge glass doors to the porch. There are multiple lounge chairs and you are right over the beach. The porch becomes an extension of the living area so you can hear the waves in the background. The next morning we went downstairs and used the beach. We put out two hammocks in the shade of the house and used the beach lounge chairs for sun. The sand was freshly raked. The water was bright blue with small waves. The kids loved the hammocks. The location is perfect, just steps away form the famous Placencia sidewalk. It is an easy walk to all of the local restaurants and shops down the sidewalk. There is a grocery store and pharmacy just down the street. We enjoyed everything about the White House and recommend it to anyone considering a stay in Placencia. We also enjoyed a snorkel trip to Laughing Bird Caye with Matthew.

We cannot possibly convey our complete satisfaction about our fabulous stay in this beautiful home with an equally beautiful view and location! All aspects of a vacation home have been considered leaving our group of four wanting for nothing more than a few more days of vacation! The house is equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, ample towels, linens, plenty of seating, a bbq, and an EXCEPTIONAL view! The sidewalk leading to the action is steps away from the property with a market one block away. The location was exactly what we were looking for - although we rented a car to see the coastline a bit, you truly could do without if you were looking for a quiet getaway. We enjoyed "opening up" the home and shutting off the air conditioning to let the natural breeze cool us. And what a treat to be able to enjoy the sounds of the sea lull us to sleep and wake us in the morning! Book this home for your next vacation! Communication with Kirsten is a breeze, and the house and location is to-die-for! (Did I mention the location???) AMAZING!

The agent on site was very helpful. The property was fantastic, clean and huge. You will be very happy.

Our family of 5 (children ages 8,6 and 4) stayed at the White House for 9 nights and could have stayed longer. It was paradise. From the beginning it was a worry free vacation. Kristen was so helpful when we reserved the house. She had a wealth of information and when we decided to drive from Belize city instead of fly she sent us very detailed instructions which made for an easy drive even easier! We were greeted by their house manager, Nick, and he was so great about helping us with anything we needed while we were staying at the White House. The location of the house is perfect. It’s right on a gorgeous beach just outside of town. Our family could walk everywhere, even with a 4 year old. We had the car for day trips up to maya beach or little excursions elsewhere. We couldn’t recommend any house more than this one to anyone. It was perfect. Thank you!!

We loved our stay at The White House in Placencia! The set up was perfect for the 5 of us! Nick greeted us with all the introductions and was available if we had questions. The locations was wonderful so close to the walk into town , on a beautiful beach and near the grocery store. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed quite a few meals overlooking the beautiful water! The weather could have been better so need to plan to return. The house is just as described and pictures are accurate. We went diving and recommend Splash in Placencia. Great staff and equipment and close to the house. They will pick up . Thank you to Per and Kirsten for welcoming us into their home.

The White House is everything it was touted to be. We loved the view and the location was great. Kirsten was great, keeping up with emails. There were 6 of us celebrating our birthdays and we were all very comfortable.I will definitely recommend this property to family and friends.

Wonderful beach house! Due to the sea grass the beach was not accessible for swimming. It is a common occurrence in the Caribbean right now,but it was still a great location. Close to food, drinks, and tours. Loved it and would love to stay here again!
