We enjoyed our stay at this house just outside of San Ignacio. Three of us, adult friends, each had our own bedroom in a nice property with a great pool. It was a 20 to 25 minute walk in to town, or an inexpensive taxi ride. Communication with the owner was pretty good. We had one issue with a bedroom AC unit not working, and they had it replaced pretty quickly.
There is a lot of care put into the upkeep of this house, it’s incredibly clean, it’s beautifully appointed and quite welcoming. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and the house. I was in contact with Terry throughout the stay, any questions were answered immediately. They also offer tours, we did not take advantage of this simply because we had plans set already. It would have been a wonderful convenience otherwise. The rooms are big, the bathrooms spacious, hot water was plentiful. The pool is lovely, a welcome retreat after a long day of sightseeing. We really appreciated the ease of checking in and out. We had plenty of fresh towels. The washer and dryer were available for our use, that was a bonus after going on the ATM tour. We were welcomed with a few items in the fridge which we greatly appreciated. I would absolutely recommend the house and would stay there again, we’re already talking about a return trip.
We used the pool a lot, even at the end of December Sat around on the deck every night Bedrooms were cool and cozy Great view including yellow butterflies on backyard tree Large dining area Just perfect
We loved the property. Well stocked and clean. Terry is super responsive and helpful. We also did a tour of Xunantunich and ATM Cave tour with their company, Cayo Inland Expeditions, which were both great. Dimas was our tour guide for Xunantunich and it was our favorite experience. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour a highlight for us. You can walk to the downtown district from the house and can easily walk to Cahal Pech. We saw a toucan in the tree right by the house and enjoyed relaxing at the house. The kids got in the pool daily. Highly recommend!
Since the time of the reservation, our host was very helpful, attentive, and thoughtful through the email communication. Even after the cancellation of the reservation due to the tropical storm Sara, she was very sweet, helpful and understanding!! I would definitely recommend her and her property.
We had a wonderful time in San Ignacio. The check in was simple and the house was clean. We booked our excursions through the owners and received a discount. Onil was our tour guide for all the excursions we did and he was incredibly knowledgeable and fun. The pool was nice to lounge in after a full day of fun in the sun.
We had a wonderful stay in San Ignacio! Great city with lots to do in the area. This house was a perfect landing spot for our family. The house is spacious and comfortable for a family with kids. The pool is a major bonus as it helped us keep cool on hot days. Terry was wonderful to work with. She was responsive throughout our time there anytime we had questions. I highly recommend staying here to enjoy the San Ignacio area!
The property was great. It fit are needs. Terry was friendly and helpful. The wild fires smoke obscured any view we might of enjoyed(not the property fault). We would recommend it.
We stayed at Terry's house for a portion of our trip. The location was a ways up the hill which was perfect for us. The neighborhood was clean and quiet and the views were fantastic. After exploring the area during the day it was refreshing to comeback and watch the sunset from the pool.

Great location close to town and sites. Owner has a tour company-Cayo Inland Adventure tours which we used to go on excellent excursions. You get a discount if staying at the house. The house was clean with lots of amenities and a refreshing pool for cooling off during the hot days.
Our family of six (2 adults, 4 kids) stayed here for three nights in March 2024. The house had everything we needed. Wi-Fi worked well. There is a covered parking spot right by the entrance. The neighborhood felt very safe with a good amount of privacy. The highlight for our kids was the pool - it was just the right temperature and very clean. Although, we mostly drove to town to eat at restaurants, the kitchen seemed to be well equipped. Terry was a super nice, helpful, and communicative host. We would definitely stay here again.
This house was a perfect choice for our family of four. Terry was so gracious and helpful during our visit. We also booked two full days of tours with the hosts' company - Cayo Inland Expedition - and had two fantastic days. The pool in the backyard was great for cooling off after hot days, and we saw lots of wildlife from the deck too (green parrots, iguanas, and a Pygmy owl!) Easy walk into town for some great restaurants and it was quiet at night in the air conditioned bedrooms. Highly recommend this listing!
Our stay was perfect! Our host, Terry is wonderful and truly took care of us. Her home is cozy and exactly as pictured. My son and I enjoyed the hammocks as they are situated perfectly to immerse you in the natural surroundings. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and well-appointed. In addition to welcoming us generously, Terry's tour company provided us with the kindest tour guides and reliable transportation to the house and she recommended the most amazing Maya site tour, Tikal, in Guatemala. Overall, just perfect - if it sounds too good to be true - I encourage you to discover for yourself!
I have never felt so welcomed and at home at a vacation rental! Terry went out of her way to make sure we had tips, recommendations and everything we needed for the home and stay. Welcoming us with some local snacks and drinks and being just a call away if we needed anything at all.
The location was amazing/ just blocks from groceries, gas station and town!
The bedroom AC units kept us plenty chilly at night and the rest of the house had so much air movement it was always comfy! We wish we would have had another day or two to enjoy the country and the house amenities more! Staying in San Ignacio and with Terry were the highlight of our trip for all 7 of us from ages 4-76. Highly recommend!
It was great having the space to make a few meals, play cards, watch a movie and chill-out and take a dip in the pool after our days exploring the area. Helen's grocery store is conveniently close by. We had a vehicle which gave us the freedom to do day trips to nearby ruins, caves, waterfalls and butterfly conservatory. Terri was a great hostess.

Lovely property. Owners close by should quests need anything. Comfortable beds, laundry facilities on site. Beautiful view. Transportation easy to find or walking is a choice also. Pool was refreshing and a welcome cool off after visiting the ruins in Belize.
We enjoyed our stay here while in San Ignacio. We booked with Terry for our transportation to and from here which was great. Kids loved having the pool. We loved the location, was a little outside of the main area and still in walking distance. It was easy to get a taxi if needed.
We had an amazing time while in San Ignacio and Terry and Jo was amazing hosts! We highly recommend booking the ATM cave and Maya Ruins tour with them. Our guides we David and Hector. They were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Also, booking through the VRBO allowed us to tour just the three of us so it was very personalized.
Enjoyed our stay at Hillside View House. Terry is wonderful and communicative. House is well maintained with all the necessities. Air conditioning in bedrooms only but it does a great job for comfortable sleeping. Would definitely stay again.
