COMING SOON: Bajo El Banyan - an upscale oceanfront estate

Yesterday, the BTB Inspection was completed on a new estate to our portfolio, “Bajo El Banyan” - or, “Under the Banyan” - a gorgeous, tropical tree which is the centerpiece of this amazing property!

While we can’t accept bookings until the physical license is issued, we’re excited to share a “sneak peek” video of the fully renovated interiors - let us know what you think!

There are three separate spaces at Bajo El Banyan:

-An Upper Unit (which you see in the image above) showcasing vaulted wood ceilings, a private, ocean-facing screened-in porch, 2 bedrooms and a remodeled bathroom;

-A Lower Unit with gorgeous quartz counters, a workspace, private patio, 1 bedroom, and luxurious tiled bath;

-A Casita with a Kitchenette, private patio, and studio-style layout.

Each space boasts top-of-the-line kitchenware, brand-new mattresses and luxury linens, new TVs and soundbars, and gorgeous new furnishings.

On the expansive, gated homesite, you find ample parking, hammocks, Adirondack chairs, and the new owner invested in a BioMist system, which greatly reduces mosquitoes with a natural repellent, making dusk and dawn far more pleasant for our guests.

There is also a wooden dock, so you can join fishing, snorkeling, or diving tours right in your backyard - the boats can pick you up directly!

Stay tuned for an opening date - we’ll be sure to announce when the calendars open. You can book the individual spaces, or the entire estate, and sleep 8 very comfortably!

El Gran Castillo de Arena - Check Out The New Dock and Expanded Sandy Beach!

We’re excited to share a quick “teaser” video to showcase some of the exterior renovations under way at El Gran Castillo, our expansive estate right on the sea in North Ambergris Caye!

As we’ve mentioned, new owners are enhancing what was already a 5* vacation experience - beautiful soft sand is being delivered to fill in the expansion, landscaping is being refreshed, and new mattresses, linens, and more are en route…all will be ready for our first available booking date on November 1!

Since El Gran Castillo is new to our portfolio, the booking calendar is wide open - INCLUDING COVETED HOLIDAY DATES! If you waited too long to book a stay this winter, have no fear - El Gran Castillo is ready to accommodate your group.

We hope to host you soon!

NEW! Walkthrough Videos of San Pedro Vacation Rentals

Have you ever wished you could virtually tour one of our amazing vacation rentals on Ambergris Caye before you booked it?

While virtual tours are available on our website, third-party sites like Airbnb and VRBO don’t allow them.

That’s why we’re delighted to be part of Beta Testing for walkthrough videos via our virtual tour host! There are still some kinks to work out (like how to add a second story to the video walkthrough) but overall, it’s an amazing asset to have for our guests, and another example of how we like to stay ahead of the curve for our wonderful homeowners.

Want to see a virtual walkthrough for yourself? Enjoy!

Sandcastle Home from the air....

Happy Monday!

The homeowners for the Sandcastle Home in the lovely Tres Cocos area of San Pedro, recently took drone photographs of the property.

Sandcastle Home

It’s the kind of view normally reserved for birds and airline passengers, so we wanted to share this unique perspective of a unique home!

Sandcastle Home is oceanfront with a private pool. There are 2 rental units on the main floor, each with 1 bedroom, a full kitchen, and a laundry room! You can book 1 or both units - they have a lock-off door between them - to customize to your travel party’s needs.

Sandcastle has a remote-operated gate and private parking, and is walkable to grocery stores, restaurants, and a few bars, too! It’s less than 1 mile north of the bridge, so you’re close to town when you want to experience lively San Pedro.

Come enjoy island life at Sandcastle Home - we look forward to hosting you soon!

NEW Photos and Virtual Tours for Sandcastle House

Now that it’s a slower time of year for tourism (but perhaps my favorite time to visit! No big crowds, lower rates, and LOBSTER!), we are updating photos for many of our properties, and shooting virtual tours.

This week, we’re sharing Sandcastle House in the Tres Cocos area, about 1/2 mile north of the bridge. It’s close enough to town to be convenient, yet in a more tranquil setting.

What makes Sandcastle so unique is it offers two, one-bedroom complete apartments, which can be rented individually or combined via a lock-off door if you have a larger group. The rentals span the first floor of the home.

Sandcastle is an oceanfront home with dock, so you can be picked up for tours or excursions right in your backyard! There is a pool and lounge furniture to enjoy the sea views.

The home is in an electronically-gated yard, meaning your cart is safe and secure.

You can walk to a handful of restaurants and bars, and a grocery store, for the ultimate in convenience.

Still not sure Sandcastle is the right vacation home for you? Take a virtual walk-through!

We’re excited to show off some new photos of Box House Boca Ciega!

It has been in our rental pool for years - the owners have added gorgeous tropical landscaping and colorful local art. It’s really grown and come to life, so it’s worth sharing.

Here are a few teaser photos:

Nothing compares to palm tree frond shadows, right…?

The home has an optional casita, which is shown on the left - it’s a smaller studio with a queen bed, kitchenette, and bathroom. Contact us to book both!
