Lovely hosts! Everything you need for a comfortable, safe and independent stay on Caye Caulker. We had the room on the top floor, with a King bed, SPACIOUS private bathroom, our own fridge and patio, plus easy access to the main communal patio and kitchen. Lots of great local recommendations provided. Easy, complimentary access to bicycles and a small pool. The dogs are friendly.
This is the PERFECT place to stay for folks like us who enjoy a quiet retreat away from the "busy" zone and we enjoyed the exercise (we biked everywhere). This may not be for everybody, based on other reviews and comments from other guests, please be aware of the following:
- there are (friendly) dogs on the property
- the property is a 25 minute walk from the main part of town / most activities & restaurants. If you are not comfortable walking this EACH way, or riding a (complimentary) bicycle on dirt roads (that can get quite muddy) in sometimes unpredictable weather (*it rained a lot while we were there) consider a different option, closer to town. You can get golf cart taxis, of course.
BIG PLUS: Throughout the Caribbean, the sargassum (stinky seaweed) issue is extreme and EARLY (in March it is not usually a problem but this year it is). Many waterfront properties on the EAST side of Caye Caulker are subject to the very unpleasant, intrusive smell of rotting sargassum. At Shipwreck Cove, you are completely free of this nuisance.
