About this property

Blue Moon Cabana is BTB Gold Standard Certified for Covid-19 safety protocols!

Blue Moon Cabana is a beachfront house for rent facing the Caribbean Sea in the lovely Garifuna fishing village of Hopkins, Belize.

The cabana is centrally located in one of the most popular areas of Hopkins Village and is within walking distance of restaurants/bars, shops, and other popular establishments. It has a full-service kitchen (cook not included!), 2 bedrooms with full-size beds, living room with full-size futon, and a tiled bathroom.

Enjoy your own private cabana right on the beach! You will no doubt be spending a lot of time in one of the hammocks out on the 8-foot wide covered veranda that spans the entire front and one side of the cabana. Surrounded by windows, you will enjoy stunning views and breezes flowing directly off the sea. Tastefully decorated and furnished with locally-crafted mahogany furniture, Blue Moon Cabana has everything you need to be comfortable and relaxed, while maintaining a Caribbean rustic-charm.

The cabana was designed with an open floor plan that allows guests to enjoy the fabulous breezes that flow throughout the house. The two bedrooms are separated by an enclosed bathroom, and there are bamboo curtain panels for each bedroom that can be closed for additional privacy.

Baby Blue Cabana is an additional (smaller) one-bedroom cabana on the property, including a full-size bed, bathroom, kitchenette, and front veranda. Situated behind Blue Moon Cabana, Baby Blue Cabana enjoys sea views, has a separate walkway out to the public beach, and is steps from the sea. Baby Blue Cabana has an open floor plan and is perfect for a single guest or couple. Staying in the larger beachfront Blue Moon Cabana and need extra space for your party? Baby Blue Cabana is a great option to add extra space and to keep your additional guests close by. Check out VRBO Listing #627746 for more information about Baby Blue Cabana.

Hopkins is a friendly village and because Blue Moon Cabana is located in the center of Hopkins, you can walk to everything. You can also rent a bicycle, motorbike, or golf cart to get around. Blue Moon Cabana is situated on a private beachfront lot and because we're in a village we do have neighbors. Hopkins is a vibrant traditional village that comes alive early in the morning with the singing of tropical birds and the occasional rooster letting you know it's morning! If you're looking to experience the culture of a local village in Belize, Blue Moon Cabana is the perfect spot. If you require a more luxurious and fancier experience, you may be happier with a resort-type accommodation in the north and south outskirts of the village. There is a variety of accommodation options in and around Hopkins to meet the diverse needs of vacationers.

When you stay at Blue Moon Cabana, we can arrange a variety of tours and adventures for you.

Beachfront Dream

This was the best spot!!! You are right in the middle of Hopkins. Everything is within walking distance. The beach is literally right on your doorstep. A great brunch spot is moments away. There's a grocery store kitty corner to you. And excellent restuarants are a short walk away. Plenty of breeze- especially when you open the blinds. A kitchen that will meet all of your needs. A shower that has pressure. And the balcony...oh boy. You will spend hours enjoying the sound of the ocean, the wind, and the view. The beds are VERY firm- I will admit I had a hard time sleeping since I'm used to a softer bed- but everything else made up for that. Plus, our host was super attentive. He took care of everything and responded to any inquiry very quickly. When I return to Hopkins, and I will because it is the friendliest, yummiest spot in Belize, I will only stay here. I couldn't imagine a better place to stay.

Location and a great beach cabana

Two couples stayed 6 nights. On days we had to get out early we were able to make breakfast at home. Many evenings we ended on the large patio with the ocean breeze. You can literally watch the sunrise from bed. VERY secure which my husband appreciated. Next door to a local bar, but late night karaoke on Sunday and a birthday party later in the week is the only time it was noticeable.

Solid place, right price and right location!

This place was just what we wanted. It was a great location, the host was quite helpful, the security was solid, and the price was right. There were a few extra amenities that helped (a cooler, an ice maker). Note that it is small for 4 people, but we knew this going on so was not a surprise. Our only suggestion is to replace the light bulbs with much stronger wattage as it is quite dim in the place once it gets dark outside.

Very nice accommodation in the center of Hopkins.

Blue Moon Cabana is as described in its online advertising. Very well kept with no mechanical issues. Also well provisioned with kitchen equipment and other necessities. It is not resort-like. You are in the center of the town, You will have lots of contact with the local residents. We found them to be very friendly and helpful. I would not hesitate to stay there again if I were to return to Hopkins.

Beautiful kid safe beach right out your front door! Great location, really cool little house, and Mirko can organize anything for you. The only downfall is 4am karaoke from the bar next door, but that only happened on Friday and Saturday, and if I hadn’t been travelling with my children, I might have gone over for a song.

Great little hide away!

Had a great time and it was a great place to simply unwind and relax. Had a few issues with noise from the little place to the north but the complementary ear plugs were greatly appreciated. Great location close to shops and restaurants and the kitchen is nicely equipped if you want to eat in. It was a little warm with no air but the sea breezes made for some comfortable nights. Would surely stay again.

Great Place

Our stay at Blue Moon Cabana was great. Hopkins is a nice small town and BMC is right in the middle of it all. Great facilities, great beach and it is managed extremely well. I would recommend a stay at Blue Moon Cabana for the water activities, surrounding hiking activities and for a relaxing vacation. Thanks to all the help Mirko gave us during our stay.

Fun beachfront cabana

This was the perfect place for my wife and I, and our eight-year-old daughter. Located close to some good restaurants, and the beach out front is perfect. Somebody comes regularly to clean the beach and rake the sand to keep everything tidy. Patio is great for hanging out, and the cabana is cozy and inviting. Would definitely come back.

Great for our family

The set up of this cabana was great for our family of 4 (2 kids ages 8 & 10). Kitchen was well-stocked (which was nice after starting out in a place with only 4 plates). The porch/balcony was my favorite spot! Vert easy to set up private tours with the property manager. Would stay here again.

3 days in paradise

This cabana offers unobstructed views of the sea along with the sound of waves that can be heard day and night. It is centrally located in Hopkins - walking distance to many excellent places to eat. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a laid back trip to enjoy the local Garifuna culture.

Perfect beachfront location

This is our second time visiting Hopkins. Last time we stayed at the Baby Blue Cabana in the back but this time we booked Blue Moon. The location is perfect. Right on the beach, in town, close to restaurants and the grocery store and a produce stand right across the street. We love being in town. Everyone is so friendly and the location can’t be beat. We can’t wait to come back and stay at this property again!

About the host

Hosted by Mirko Bechstedt

Blue Moon Cabana was built in July/August 2011 after several years of planning and hard work to make it happen. We put our hearts and souls into the cabana and wanted to build a home that fit with the culture of Hopkins. It was important to us to create a space that was comfortable and included all the things we would want ourselves in a rental cabana in Belize. We are not into the resort experience and value the local culture and people of Hopkins. We leave the resort-type experience to the places south of the village. Mirko, who lives nearby Blue Moon Cabana is available to assist guests with all their needs during their stay, including transfer to and from the airport (and other locations) and arranging tours and other adventures for guests.

Why they chose this property

Hopkins is a laid back village with beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea and Maya Mountains on the other side. We chose a beachfront lot in the village because we wanted to be central to everything, including the beautiful people in the village. Hopkins has a rich cultural life --and traditional Garifuna life is evident throughout the village.

What makes this property unique

Blue Moon Cabana is centrally located in the village which allows us to soak up the rich cultural life of the village. Local restaurants and other popular establishments are within walking distance from the cabana, but guests can also rent bicycles to get around, too.

The cabana itself is high off the ground and steps from the sea --and since the cabana has lots of windows, there are usually fabulous breezes flowing throughout the house. The views from the veranda are stunning!

Hopkins is a great base to enjoy day and half-day trips to the jungle, mountains, and cayes. In addition to relaxing on the veranda or on the beach in front of the cabana, there are so many adventures to enjoy in and around the village.
