*Gold Standard Certified

Perched just a stone's throw from the gorgeous Caribbean Sea, this ultra-modern and luxurious rental in the upscale Swan Villas may be the vacation destination of your dreams! This recently built villa features stunning ocean views, access to the community's pool and other amenities, and enough space for up to four guests, so get ready for the trip of a lifetime to beautiful Belize!

Located just 75 yards from the sea, this home is nestled in the Swan Villas, a brand-new development on the Placencia Peninsula. When you stay here you will enjoy a peaceful, beachfront location while still being a short drive from nearby cities.

As you walk up to your temporary home, you will be awed by the unique appearance of this development. With an extremely modern style, plenty of luxurious touches, and a design scheme featuring relaxing circular shapes, you will feel right at home in this wonderful property. This particular condo is a ground-floor unit, so you can step right inside to discover the gorgeous interior.

Please note that this particular listing is for the entire bottom floor of this two-level villa. If you need lots of space, you can even book the entire three-unit villa, which can sleep up to eight guests.

Inside this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home you will find everything you need to have a spectacular stay. This U-shaped building features private bedrooms at either end of the structure, with a living space in the middle. Have a seat on the large, curved sofa and watch some TV or simply gaze outside at the lovely scenery. When you're here you will have WiFi access so you can keep in touch with your friends and family back home. This condo even has air-conditioning to keep you cool, plus a laundry room that will come in handy during extended stays.

A full kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances and everything the chef in your group may need to whip up tasty meals during your visit. Sit down at the dining room table to enjoy a meal together, or take your after-dinner glass of wine outside to the shaded porch and marvel at the views of the lagoon and the pool while breathing in the fresh, tropical air.

If you walk to either end of this home, you will find bedrooms with an enormous, round-shaped king bed and a stylish decor scheme. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, complete with a separate walk-in shower and a marvelous jetted bathtub. Both the tub and shower are also circular to match the overall design of this trendy home. Together with these two bedrooms, this condo has plenty of space for up to four guests.

While you're here at the Swan Villas, you will have access to many wonderful shared amenities. A gorgeous infinity-edge pool is just past your door, and the lagoon is a very short walk away. You're welcome to borrow kayaks and bicycles to explore the nearby nature, and you will also have access to a gorgeous public beach. Of course, you're also welcome to spend your vacation sipping cold drinks on your private patio or sunbathing on the beach.

If you decide to venture past Swan Villas, you can drive south about 15 minutes to reach the largest town in the area, Placencia Village. Nestled at the very end of the peninsula, this town has a vibrant and laid-back atmosphere and offers many restaurants and shops to keep you busy. Stop in at Brewed Awakenings for a fresh-roasted coffee, or get a tropical fruit smoothie from the oceanfront Shak Beach Cafe. When you get hungry, sit down for a nice meal at one of the restaurants, which include authentic Belizean and Caribbean food at Wendy's or Brenda's, Italian cuisine at La Dolce Vita, and fresh seafood and other fares at Rumfish.

From Placencia, you can rent scuba diving or snorkeling gear to explore the gorgeous, warm water nearby. You could peek under the surface to view the colorful fish, go see the barrier reef, or take a group trip to look for manatees or even a docile whale shark. If you want to head inland to see more of Belize, you will have opportunities to book a guided tour to hike through the lush jungle, visit wildlife preserves where jaguars and tapirs live, check out some ancient Mayan ruins, go whitewater rafting, and much more, so be ready for adventures!

Whether you're looking forward to relaxing in the pool, visiting nearby towns, or trekking across the beautiful landscape, this lovely Belize vacation rental offers all the comforts of home, luxury amenities, and a fantastic oceanfront location so you can get the most out of your visit!

Joyful relaxation

We did three rentals in Belize, and this was the best. Lovely and unique design. Gaudi-like. Good staff. Good text communication. Lovely pool. Relaxed setting away from the road and near the water. Top comment I can make… I would book it again. Miriam is good manager - friendly and helpful

We enjoyed our stay so much. The views of the lagoon are beautiful. The infinity pool was so nice. We used the complimentary kayakes and had a blast. The paddles through the mangroves and around the little island. They offer free yoga class and I had my first yoga experience poolside with sunset lagoon views. We loved our stay and will be back.

Such a Unique Property

Wonderfully located a close distance to the main town of Placencia. This property was super unique and tucked back far enough you felt like you were super secluded. The accommodations were great and the staff attended to any issue that arose. Make sure to take the hummingbird highway down if you drive from the city. Also, don't forget to stop for tamales at Mrs. Betha's at mile-marker 26 on your way down. A couple of quick notes, you are in a tropical location, so we did have some little ants and other animals make it into the home, but nothing serious unless you hate geckos in the shower! The property is also on the lagoon side, so we were told to stay out of the water there although kayaks were provided as there are crocodiles that tend to live in that water. Super quiet, great pool, close to any needed amenities, and an all-around fantastic time. Highly recommended!

Communication was horrible

Property is managed by 3rd party that communicates via WhatsApp. No direct line of comms between 3rd party and host. No concession for natural disasters. Wasted close to 4,000 on a trip we were warned off by 3rd party. Uninstalling app

Unsafe

Several hundreds of dollars was taken on the first day from this house from my purse that was in a bedroom. There are 5 doors that will go outside and the bedroom door was unlocked when we checked in (we did not know this). The safe was also strangely not working. Unfortunately, the staff is not to be trusted. The man that sprayed for bugs outside was seen by myself and my daughter checking doors to see if they were unlocked. The property is beautiful but that does not make up for the safety issue.

Unique Stay

Such an interesting complex with a fantastic pool. Great location in Maya Beach area. Definitely need a car but many excellent restaurants nearby so don't need to go into town every night. The two bedroom two bath Lion Fish has a well equipped kitchen, AC and great shower. The only downside is the uncomfortable couch. The Concierge Service was excellent, thanks to Pamela!

Something different to the bland normal rentals

Lion fish is roughly 15 mins drive outside of Placencia in a nice quiet location. There are ample good restaurants in the immediate vicinity within 5 mins drive. The view across the lagoon having the mayan mountains in the back drop is truly amazing. Onsite security guard was very diligent. Will definitely stay here again.

Unique property

The villa we stayed in was beautiful the pictures don’t do it justice. Even though it’s not right on the ocean the lagoon and mountain views made up for it. The property mentions that there is a security guard at night, however, we only saw him twice out of the seven days we were there. This wasn’t a concern of ours though because we felt safe and comfortable on the property and in Belize in general. It also mentioned that there is a beach across the street (75 yards away) but I really wouldn’t even call this a beach. If you want to spend a nice day at the beach id recommend driving/biking/golf carting down to Placencia beach. When we booked we were so excited to see the place, once we arrived we were blown away with how beautiful the villa was and the rest of the property. We got to utilize the kayaks and we asked for life vest and they were quick to respond with the life vest for us! The pool was relaxing and perfect temperature. They have hammocks that you can lay in right by the pool, which makes it even more relaxing. The only thing I’d criticize is the cleanliness of the villa. It seemed very surface level quick clean wish they did a better job at doing a more in depth clean of the villa. From my understanding the whole property is fairly new so it would be a shame if the housekeeper people don’t keep up with the cleaning of the individual villas. LASTLY my favorite part is the property cat we became friends with. She was so sweet and would keep us company anytime we were outside. Overall I enjoyed staying here and would definitely rebook here again!

Fun but far from perfect

Enjoyed our stay although the tv/cable in the main room never worked. Pool was hot because of the color of the bottom, never got in it before 6pm and it was warm then, can’t imagine the temp at 4pm. AC worked great. Be advised there is no oven so if you don’t want to fry or microwave you’ll be eating out. The location is great but the structure takes more work to live In than a standard squarish place. If you have to drive through Seine Bight south of the Villas on a weekend night be prepared to crawl through crowds in the street.
