This house was perfect. It's one of the cleanest houses we've ever had the pleasure of staying at and the setting was beautiful. The hosts clearly care for this home. Highlights: breakfast on the deck with the sunrise, toucans in the trees, multiple hammocks for relaxing, a nice path to the end of the property, amazing view, and cool breezes at night. Open up the wall of glass doors and the windows and it was extremely pleasant. The house is spacious and our family of four was very comfortable. We loved the cool pool after returning from touring all day. All the necessities like towels, cookware, and bottled water are provided. Consuelo is a gem and I highly recommend requesting she cook a meal for you. She's lovely and the dinner was a treat.

Great Stay in Cayo District

Our family had a great time during our spring break. The house was clean, comfortable, and in a great location for our day trips to the ATM cave, Mayan ruins in Belize, and visiting Tikal. The host was great and met us on arrival and was there for check out. You should also consider arranging for the arrival dinner. It was really good and made for a relaxing first night.the gardens were beautiful, well maintained and the kids loved the pool.

Everything was great! We loved staying here, communication with Katia was easy, and Consuelo was a sweetheart. The pool was much larger than the pictures made it look, and we enjoyed swimming in it every day! The grounds were beautiful also, and we felt like we were in an oasis in the middle of the jungle!A few cautions: the road at the end is a bit bumpy and steep. If you go the wrong way it is REALLY steep and 100

Fantastic Stay

Beautiful home with an amazing view. The home was clean and plenty of room for our family of five. We loved spending time in the pool after long hot days doing adventures. We had a delicious meal cooked by the property manager and the owner went above beyond aiding us in getting a left sweatshirt. Will definitely stay at this magical home again.

Hillview House

This house in Santa Elena is so cool! Our family of 5 stayed here for three nights. The house itself is well maintained, very spacious and clean. The views around the property are gorgeous and the surroundings are lush and so peaceful. We had Consuelo cook for us one nights and it was the best as she prepared food and cleaned up everything after. We got to relax after a long day. And Consuelo is so sweet and helpful. Wonderful stay and would highly recommend!

Gorgeous home and grounds. Katia is super helpful and responsive. The only issue we had was that the new girl they were training didn’t provide us all the information she should have during check in. Katia was quick to help out when we needed it, though.

Gorgeous home

We had a great 3 nights in Santa Elena. The home was perfect for us, three teenage boys, my husband and I. Katia had great communication, made excellent recommendations for some fun adventures while we were there. Consuelo cooked us a delicious Christmas dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal, eating on the veranda with a beautiful view overlooking the hills. So pretty! The home is a great location for adventures around San Ignacio and an excellent place to retreat to after a busy day. Comfy beds, hot showers, hammocks everywhere, just sit back and relax:)

Amazing spot all around

Our group of 6 were extremely impressed with the beauty of this home; little extra touches and beautiful wood throughout; sitting on the dining room deck overlooking the amazing view of the jungle/forest; coming home after a day exploring and taking a dip in the pool; Consuela cooked for us 1 night - it was a nice break and great food. Katia answered any inquiries quickly and was very helpful with directions and details. The gardener kept the grounds clean and always had a smile; the resident dogs were very friendly and so well behaved. All 6 of us were pleasantly surprised and would not hesitate to recommend to friends or go back again.

Paradise on top of the hill

We had a wonderful stay at Katia's property! The house was beautiful and the pool and the view were outstanding. We had everything we needed and communication with Katia and the other staff was excellent. My only complaint is that only one of the three bedrooms has AC, and when we were there it was HOT (consistently in the high 30s/40+ degrees C), so sleeping at night in the non-airconditioned bedrooms was quite warm - but opening the windows and putting the fans on did help. We would definitely stay again and recommend Katia's house to others looking for a well located, beautiful and peaceful retreat. Thanks! Carly

Beautiful hilltop home

Everything about our stay was amazing! Katia is a highly responsive communicator and helpful resource, and the housekeeper, Consuelo, well let's just say I wanted to see if I could convince her to come home with us permanently! She was so kind-hearted and made us the most delectable meal. The views and yard are breathtaking (we saw toucans from the porch most nights!), the pool was a hit with the kids, we enjoyed the multiple hammocks, and the home's overall aesthetics were wonderful. The beds were all very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. We were here during dry season and had no problem getting up the hill without 4 wheel drive, but I bet that would be different during the wet season. The property description clearly says this, but keep in mind that only 1 bedroom has a/c. We happened to be here during a HOT week, and ended up moving a couple of extra mattresses into the bedroom with a/c because sleeping without a/c was next to impossible. The house is designed to have excellent crosswinds coming through which would be more than sufficient to cooling purposes in all but the hottest weather (which we had). All in all, it was a fabulous stay and we already miss the property!

This is a very nice home in a beautiful location. We stayed here for a week while exploring the Cayo. The view from the deck in amazing.

We stayed at this property with our 3 teenage children for four nights. The view of the hillside is spectacular and the property is one of the most unique and beautiful that we have ever stayed. The directions to the house were very clear. The road up to the house is unpaved and pretty bumpy. Only one room has air conditioning but the others have fans and they helped on the hot nights. One of our favorite memories of the trip was having Consuelo cook a traditional Belizean meal. We will never forget how delicious and special it was!

This was an amazingly beautiful and overall comfortable home in Santa Elena, Belize. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the bedding was soft. The home was clean and secure.The only disappointment was when I read "ac" in the description, I presumed more of the home would have ac. The only ac was in a small bedroom that had a double bed. Overall, the home is very open and a constant breeze kept it mostly comfortable.I would stay here again for sure!

We just loved our time in this beautiful home. Tons of space, completely surrounded by nature, well equipped home, brilliantly designed to take advantage of the breeze, a refreshing pool to dip in, dark sky for stargazing, perfect view of the sunset and sunrise, tucans in the trees during sunrise, comfortable beds, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, lots of towels, and the host is a wealth of knowledge on the area and super responsive!

Wow! This house is AMAZING! It is the coolest concept design, a stunning location, and the host, Katia and her helper Consuelo did a phenomenal job welcoming us. Communication was top notch. This house is a rare find big enough to host a family with three teens. Lots of space to take a break!The only cons- only one bedroom room has AC. Absolutely no big deal in the cooler months, but if you aren't acclimated to BZ heat it might get toastier. The floor plan is definitely designed to keep the breeze flowing through the house and there are plenty of fans. There was no hot tub as advertised, but the infinity pool is extra cool!!
