Beautiful vacation home

We had a wonderful time in Hopkins at this spacious beach house. The location is absolutely beautiful with an amazing dock and beautiful outdoor living. House has everything you could need- exactly as described. Short 5 minute golf cart ride to the marina with a restaurant and town/resorts 5 minutes in the other direction.

A beautiful peaceful location!

We stayed with 3 adults and 3 kids and we had more than enough room. The location and setting of the house are just perfect! Gorgeous views of the water and incredibly easy access to swimming in the pool and sea. Hopkins is a great little village and there were plenty of options for restaurants.

Beautiful location, spacious home

We had a great week! The dock was perfect. The water was warm and easy to swim in. The place was cool and clean, and the kitchen was well stocked. We also loved the little private pool. Stann Creek is lovely. There are lots of nice places to eat and grocery stores nearby. It is not super touristy which is what we were looking for.

Family Exploration

We thoroughly enjoyed this comfy home away from home. Darwin helped guide us a bit when asked, exploring Hopkins, making new friends and eating the food are the best highlights!! Water was beautiful, dock and using kayaks was loads of fun for all of us! We loved this home and area and look forward to staying again in the future!

We loved the dock!

Everything was fantastic at this lovely house. We appreciated the plentiful towels and beach toys and the ice maker was a fun bonus. The dock was amazing, with 5 comfortable loungers and we spent most of our time there enjoying the ocean breezes. I hope we can return some day!!

Amazing house!

We had a great stay! Loved the pool, dock, and little beach. My kids learned how to open the coconuts and had a blast doing that every day. Darwin was a great resource, such a fun and interesting person to talk to and was available when we needed him. House is clean and so much space. Thank you for opening your home to us. We made such amazing memories!!

Belize Bliss

This property is very well appointed and had everything we wanted or needed. It provided privacy for those who wanted it. A beautiful home with the amenities of a small pool, poolside side bar, dock, snorkeling equipment, kayaks, high quality beach furniture, and a golf cart made our stay the most enjoyable beach vacation we have ever had. A difficult place to say farewell to.

Great house

The house was lovely with many high-end features. It was great to have the pool and dock, we used both. Our timing was unfortunate with the sea grass, we often caught an unpleasant odor. We enjoyed being near, but not in town.

Clean and quiet

Located close to downtown Hopkins, but just far enough to escape the commotion. Nice, quiet home with plenty of amenities to keep you entertained. Pool is small, but oddly perfect. Hanging out under the cabana, watching the water, was so relaxing. It took me a day to realize the water at the end of the pier was only a few inches deep during low tide!

Awesome oceanfront house in beautiful Belize

The property is a beautiful perfectly maintained house right on the ocean with every amenity you could want. A standout was the dock and thatch roofed covered platform at the end of the dock where you could see water on all sides an awesome place to eat dinner, sun yourself or just relax. It was our first time to Belize and we loved it. We went scuba diving and snorkeling most of the time we were there and found the underwater beauty spectacular. We also went on a great hike in the nearby jungle water fall filled national park which was incredible. The little beach shack restaurants right on the sand are great. Darwin the caretaker was there whenever we needed him for advice and sue the owner was great.

Hopkins with Friends

We had a fantastic time in Hopkins! The home and location are beautiful, spacious and accommodating, and provided my husband and I and our friends the perfect relaxing getaway. From the start, the property manager Darwin was exceptionally helpful. He was quick with responses and recommendations before and during our trip, and gave us a tour of the home and amenities that made our experience in Hopkins fun and easy to navigate. We enjoyed our inland excursions to the ATM Cave and various ruins and being picked up from the pier by boat to go snorkeling. Our experience was truly remarkable and we would highly recommend Villa by the Sea!

Amazing!

My family (including two children) had an amazing time at this very special house. We enjoyed the dock, pool, and ocean everyday. We had a lot of fun spotting the wildlife from the dock. The house is well stocked, very clean/organized, and comfortable. We also love the location and proximity to Hopkins- everyone in the village is so kind. Darwin was incredibly helpful in pointing us in the direction of the various activities we wanted to do while we were there. The property owner is also very kind and easy to communicate with. We hope to come back to this very special home in the future!

Dream vacation

We had an amazing stay! It was especially nice after the problems with our airlines. The place is fantastic. The amenities are great. Everything that you could ask for in a property. The host set us up well and Darwin, the on site host, greeted us and gave us some great suggestions. Both were available if we had any questions. It is the perfect place to get away from the hassles of life. It is also close to Bocawina and St. Hermans Blue hole and only an hour and a half from Xunantunich Mayan ruins. We definitely would stay here again. Thank you so much. -Arne

Perfect Family Getaway

We had the best family vacation in Hopkins, Belize. This house is beautifully appointed with plenty of space for everyone (5 of us total) to spread out and relax, including a well-equipped kitchen. It felt like a home away from home. The moment you walk out to the breathtaking backyard space, and continue all the way to the large covered dock over the waters, you know you've arrived in paradise. The only thing I would suggest is to add lights to the dock thatched roof, it was too dark at night to use. Sue and Darwin were super helpful and very easy to communicate with for any questions we had. We really enjoyed the two tours we did, ATV through the jungle and Cook your Catch with tour company GTKBA (Get to Know Belize Adventures). Hopkins is the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, and this beachfront house is a true gem.

Beautiful home, amzaing view!

This was the most relaxed I've been in my life! The home is beautiful. We loved using both decks and the pool. We spent most of our time outside enjoying the views and the weather. The golf cart was great to get to town in, I think that the cart is going to be improved - GREAT BONUS. Everyone was friendly, Sue and Darwin was super easy to contact and were awesome help. The beds, sheets and pillows were amazing, and the AC in each room made us very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with great cooking utensils which made cooking at home easy (we didn't want to leave because the house, view and decks were amazing!) Great place to stay, Hopkins is an amazing place to visit.

Beautiful Home

This is truly an amazing property! I have stayed in Hopkins many times and this place has quickly become one of my favorites. The home has everything one can ask for on a vacation. The only area where I see an opportunity is with the check in progress, and on this occasion I don’t believe it was due to the owners or caretakers. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to access the home until much later in the evening/night due to the previous occupants checking out much later than required, leaving little time for the property to be turned over. On a final note, the caretaker Darwin, is awesome and able to point you in the right direction for anything needed.

Beautiful property

This home and property are beautiful. However, the house requires some minor repairs (some sliders damaged, screen on the main slider torn, TV remote didn’t work). We were disappointed that there was no beach to walk and the water was murky and had lots of sea grass so not suitable for snorkeling. 4 adults had to space their showers or run out of water. The village of Hopkins has some good beach bars, but the best restaurants are in the resorts. The Hamanasi Resort is close and is excellent. The Coconut Husk in the village is also a fun restaurant as is the restaurant nearby in Beeches and Dreams. The property manager, Darwin, is a super guy and also a good local guide. He took us floating in St. Herman’s Cave and swimming in the Blue Hole. Tap into his local knowledge! The Hopkins area is interesting but fairly remote. If not staying in a resort we found diving and snorkeling opportunities limited.

Family Trip to Hopkins

The home is gorgeous. Stayed for the week of Christmas Eve-NYE. Family of six- kids are 18-25. Much needed break from life and all six of us available. We had heard from many in Green Bay about the beautiful village of Hopkins. It is a very small village. We felt very safe at all times. Rented the golf cart from the house. That was much needed. Walked to restaurants or drive that. Homes are all owned by foreigners and the people of Hopkins seem very happy to have tourists there. Darwin arranged a or gave us many ideas on adventures or restaurants. We way over packed dress up clothes. This is a true, unwind, relax and go no makeup type trip! Village moves at a slower pace than home. It was what we all needed. Lots of friendly smiles from the restaurants to the small grocery stores. Ate some wonderful meals and unplugged.

Absolute Perfection

Everything was perfect. The house, the view, the location, the people... This was our first trip to Belize and we honestly had no idea what to expect. Sue (owner) was very helpful from the start, answering questions prior to booking, giving us local resources to explore and being patient with our booking decision. We pulled the trigger and looking back it was the best decision we could of made. This is a BEAUTIFUL house with absolutely everything you will need to be at home. Kayaks, snorkeling gear, towels, Wifi etc... On top of everything else Sue introduced us to 2 locals that will assist you with excursions and local knowledge you cannot get on a laptop. Darwin and Ardeth are truly kind and wonderful people that made sure our stay was perfect. It was our honeymoon and they went far above to make sure all was perfect. 5 stars all the way. We will be back to this country and would not stay anywhere else. I only hope there is availability once the word gets out... THANK YOU SUE/ARDETH/DARWIN. We LOVE Belize...

About the host

Hosted by Sue

We started vacationing in Belize 15 years ago and fell in love with the culture and beauty of Hopkins and Sittee River Villages, and the lusciousness of the Caribbean Sea. We bought a lot and built our dream beach home! We come to Belize from the central US every winter - you will notice the house is booked for us in January, February and part of March. We still love it there and hope your experience is also as amazing! We found the perfect local property manager and just recently started renting it out with their assistance. Our goal is to make your vacation in this beautiful tropical destination perfect, with every convenience of being at home built in!
