About this property

Palmetto Garden cottage-Pool, AC, free paddleboards

Velento Rentals Management presents:

The Palmetto Garden Cottage at Palmetto Beach, Avenida Mangle, Caye Caulker, Belize.

This really beautiful addition is spacious and can actually accommodate 4 guests with a futon in the living room. You can have the King bed separated into two twins if you request it. Also a Queen Futon in the living room for extra sleeping capacity. We built the bathroom so that it can be entered both through the bedroom and separately from the living room for privacy, there are large bright windows and French doors opening out onto a Palapa covered deck you enjoy a beautiful Palm Grove which is lit up at night. Weezies cafe is on the property. Although not beach front, the sea is on just around the corner of this house.

Right on your door step is a tranquil palm grove with BBQ facilities including picnic tables and a giant Jenga game. Paddle boards and kayaks are available for free, Beer can be bought at the front desk by the bottle, the bucket or a whole case. You can also rent bikes and golf carts at the front desk or book tours with anyone of the many tour operators on the island for fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving or sunset sailing cruises, our staff are there to help. Bikes are available to rent at US $7.50 per bike, per day, We also rent golf carts but supply is limited. We recommend you reserve with us in advance.

We have a pool shared with our other guests however the best feature we have found is the huge dock we built running some 300 feet out to sea with sunbathing pods built off the sides as well a huge swimming deck at the end and a large Palapa to shade you from the sun. We built a beach which you can hang out on as well with loungers and Palapa covered tables as well as corn hole and ladder Toss games to entertain you. The whole dock, beach and poolside decks are covered with chaise lounges complete with comfortable mattresses. We have staff on site throughout the day and a Security guard on hand at night to ensure your safety. Our onsite office hours are 8:00 :AM - 7:00pm, so that someone is always on hand to help with your needs. You have easy access to the Beach Road, which will take you right into the center of town by either a 5-10 minute bike ride, or a 10- 15 minute walk, but the location remains quiet and secluded; a bit of the Caye Caulker of old!!!

Experience Palmetto Peace

This location was better than expected. The location was perfect and the facilities were superb. We really enjoyed being able to rent the bikes to explore Caye Caulker. Also, the onsite laundry service insured we went home looking and smelling suave. We would definitely recommend Palmetto Garden.

Amazing time away at Palmetto Garden cottage

We were both very impressed with the stay at Palmetto Garden cottage. The staff (Henry, Nythiria and all are awesome), the cats (Max and No name were our pets away from home) and all the amenities were fantastic. Would love to go back in a heartbeat. The dock was our favorite place for a 5 PM cocktail. The staff next door at Weezie's were also delightful. Thank you, Tim, and Debbie!!!! We will be strongly suggesting your place.

Amazing Experience!

We spent three nights here at the end of November 2024 and wished we had more time! The unit was spacious, staff were friendly and accommodating, and everything was nice and clean. We are considering bringing family back and staying in one of the larger units.

Great Place

The apartment was as described, very clean, very good air conditioner, which is needed in the tropical climate. The pool was quite good. They had a nice little restaurant five steps away, which was also quite good and convenient. That large pier is an excellent feature, and even had Wi-Fi out on the dock. This is probably one of the nicest places to stay on the island!

Slice of heaven

We had a fantastic stay at the Palmetto Beach cottage. It was very clean & had everything we needed. It was also a large spacious area! The large bottles of water were a perk. Being so close to the lovely pool & amazingly long dock was fabulous! Tim & Debbie were ALWAYS prompt with replying to any questions we had prior to our trip. We would definitely go back in a heart beat!

Quiet and clean

Property owner has great communication. Enjoyed our stay in this quiet area of Caye Caulker. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Only had one issue which was being stranded at the water taxi dock waiting for the promised taxi to take us to the property (management confirmed via email but did not follow through) we quickly got over it and enjoyed our vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved the property. It was immaculate and just as described. It is a little bit away from the main part of town, however for us, that was a nice thing. We rented bikes and rode into town everyday. (All flat terrain) We would rent it again!

Great Cottage.

Overall great property .Beautifully maintained grounds. Easy communication with owners. Comfy beds. Fully stocked kitchen. Awesome dock. As stated in previous reviews, the cottage is quite dark but that also helps keep it cool during the day. The walls are a little on the thin side and unfortunately the family upstairs were heavy walkers. We downloaded sound machines on our phone to help drown out the nighttime noise. Even with that slight issue I would definitely stay there again.

Only one complaint

Our experience here was absolutely fabulous with one exception. The unit we stayed had another unit above it. No fault of the people staying there but it sounded as if a whole football team was practicing up there and perhaps going to come through the roof. There seems to be very little insulation between the upper and lower units. Just a heads up for others that f this is the type of thing that can take a wonderful property and stay and the rn t into not such a great experience. It was annoying at times but we didn’t spend enough time in the unit for it to cause us any distress. We would definitely return!!

Although the place does not have a washer, they did laundry for us anyway so we had clean clothes for the return trip ;) They also helped get the right size bikes for our kids and adjusted for their heights so we could ride bikes all week. We will be back!

Lovely Cottage

My wife and I stayed here for a week and we absolutely loved it. We felt safe and secure and had many conveniences at our fingertips. There’s a restaurant 10 steps from the front door of this cottage and extra water and Belikin (for purchase) on request! The cottage was clean and maintained and had a lot of privacy with the privacy shades you can draw down. You have to walk around the back of the cottage to get to the pool but who cares! It was fantastic and we would stay here again and again. Town is a short bike ride away and the nearest grocery store is maybe a three minute bike ride. We loved the pier with the loungers and even saw sting rays swimming around the pier our first morning. There’s a lot of Sargasssum (looks like a seaweed/algae) floating in the sea right now and it has an odor but that’s the whole island, not the fault of location or anything else. Only complaint was that it’s very close to the island airport and planes start taking off and landing a little on the early side so it will wake you. No big deal to us, though. Overall, stay here! It’s, affordable, clean and so fantastic!

Fantastic Time!

We had a wonderful experience staying with Michael. The place was exactly as expected, a little tight for four adults but again, as we expected. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and you couldn’t even tell it was two twin beds pushed together. The futon in the living room was super comfortable for what it was, much better than expected. We had new towels, both bath and beach, whenever needed, and getting new water for the room was very easy. They were very accommodating to our needs. The room was also very clean when we arrived and the AC worked great. It was so nice to come back after a day in the sun to a nice cold room. We rented bikes for the entire stay and that was definitely necessary. We used them constantly to go back and forth between our room and town. This was close enough to town to be easy to get to on a bike and far enough to escape the noise and majority of other tourists. We spent a lot of our time out on the dock as the chairs were really comfy and it was easy to get in and out of the water there. We enjoyed hanging out there during the day and were happy to have a quiet place to hang out. We also went out on the dock most nights and there was security around at night. We overall really enjoyed the island and can’t wait to go back. We highly recommend checking out Wish Willy’s for dinner, this was everyone’s favorite place to eat by far. We also enjoyed Dee D’s and Belizean Flavas for dinner. For lunch we ate food from people on the street and it was always good. We took snorkel tours with Scuba Sensation, Raggamuffin Tours and Carlos. We had a great experience with all three. We will definitely be back some time in the future!

Lovely haven slightly removed from main hub

The Palmetto cottage was lovely. Clean, modern, reasonably stocked with the basics. Very organized setup and conscientious communication ahead of arrival. It's a short (15min) walk to the main drag of Caye Caulker but this also makes the area a bit quieter. Would recommend.

Perfect location to Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd time to visit the island. WE love the laid back go slow attitude on this island. We have stayed closer to the village before; but we really enjoyed the peacefulness of your location. The staff their was wonderful. They was very helpful with anything you asked. The property was very clean and beautiful inside and out. I would recommend this property. All the staff was a delight to be around and very friendly and hard workers. I will defiantly stay with them again. The location is just far enough from village to be peaceful; but to far to be able to get to restaurants and be part of the activities going on with the island. The office staff will set you up with any attractions you are interested in and you will be picked up by boat on pier or by taxi at your villa.
