Large 5+ Bedroom Oceanfront w/ Pier and Pool

Welcome to Mission Bay! A 6-bedroom, 5-bathroom villa with private chef included.

A stunning 3-story waterfront escape in the heart of Placencia, Belize, where the Caribbean Sea is literally steps from your door and every detail has been designed for a truly effortless vacation.

Spread across three spacious floors, Mission Bay features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and an open, airy layout filled with natural light and ocean breezes. The ground floor offers two large bedrooms, each with private bath and direct access to a covered patio overlooking the pool and ocean, plus an open-air living area, dining room, and bar. The second floor is the heart of the home — an expansive chef's kitchen with breakfast bar, open dining room, covered ocean-view patio, and two additional bedrooms including a master suite with sitting room, private bar, and fridge. The third floor is reserved for the crown jewel: a massive private master suite with indoor and outdoor showers and a sweeping covered patio with panoramic views of the ocean and pool. Step outside to your private freshwater pool just feet from the sand, launch a kayak from the private pier, or paddle along the coastline — the water is always right there waiting.

Mission Bay is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and is located just 8 miles from Placencia Village and the airstrip, easily reachable with your included golf cart.

**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.

(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.

Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out
if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.

**CONCIERGE SERVICE**
Concierge service is included with your stay. Your dedicated Gecko concierge is available to assist with all pre-arrival arrangements and will reach out after your reservation is confirmed to begin planning your trip. From coordinating your transfers and arranging airport pick-up to booking excursions, spa services, and onsite entertainment, your concierge is here to ensure you get the most out of every day in Belize without lifting a finger.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is one of the country's most beloved destinations — and for good reason. Situated on a stunning 16-mile-long peninsula flanked by the Caribbean Sea on one side and a serene lagoon on the other, Placencia offers the perfect blend of laid-back Caribbean charm and easy access to adventure. Unlike the busier island destinations to the north, Placencia is relaxed, uncrowded, and refreshingly authentic. From here, you're perfectly positioned to explore ancient Mayan ruins, hidden waterfalls, zip lines, cave tubing, world-class snorkeling, and some of the best sportfishing in Central America. Back on the peninsula, you'll find great restaurants, local shops, beachside bars, and the famous Placencia sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!

**GETTING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO THE PROPERTY**

Our concierge will work with you to book the shuttle van as soon as you have your international flights ready.
