About this property

Beachfront home w/private pool, includes private chef and daily housekeeping

Located beachfront with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the second largest barrier reef in the world, the Belize Sandcastle features a 2,600 square foot house with 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, private heated pool, and a football field sized walled-in garden with with 3 fountains, a screened in tiki hut, and bocce ball court. The upper and lower decks, which span the entire length of the home, entice you outdoors for al fresco dining or lounging as you soak in marvelous views of blue sea and white sand beaches. Wall to wall sliding doors at the Sandcastle allow breezy access to the beach.

The Belize Sandcastle team is available for assistance needed during your stay. Your daily rate includes the service of our chef and her assistant who will prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner for you. Cost of food is not included but our staff will shop for you. There is a $400 deposit for groceries during your stay so they can prepare your first day meal and beyond. Please give Angie payment for any additional groceries that you need.

The general housekeeping cleaning fee is collected with your rental payment. This covers full house cleaning before and after, plus daily housekeeping.

The living areas on the beach level feature an oversized family room area for gathering. Sofas, chaise lounge chairs, cushioned rocking chair, TV, mini fridge, and a game table for five makes this a great spot for everyone to spend time together. The family room opens up to the pool on one side and gorgeous views of the Caribbean on the other.

The tranquil screened in pool provides all weather-enjoyment. There is plenty of space to unwind with chaise lounges, tables, and beautiful custom chairs. Overhead fans provide lighting both in and above the pool, perfect evening swimming.

Three bedrooms are beach level and have air conditioning. Two bedrooms, located off the lounge area, feature folding wood doors that can be closed for privacy or opened to experience the calming sounds of the beach. Both bedrooms have a mahogany queen bed and a twin bed, as well as built-in mahogany cabinetry. Each bedroom has a door leading to a large jack and jill bathroom with an oversized, tiled shower. The third bedroom, off the family room, has two windows facing the Caribbean, built-in cabinets, and a queen bed. There is a bathroom off this bedroom which has an oversized, tiled walk-in shower, ideal for a post-beach day rinse.

On the upper level, your favorite spot will be the covered deck that extends the entire length of the house. Enjoy the rectangle mahogany dining table with a buffet server in between. Chaise-lounge chairs provide an idyllic spot for reading or a nap amidst the soft breeze.

The upper living room has Caribbean views, a cathedral ceiling along with two sofas, a club chair, a chaise lounge, bookshelves with books and a TV. Ceiling fans blow the cool sea breeze around, creating a wonderfully inviting sitting area.

The massive mahogany dining room table seats 10 to 12 people, set against sliding glass doors that fully open to ocean views. The fully appointed kitchen includes a stove, fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, blender, bottled water and more. Belizean wood cabinets with glass fronts, local tile backsplash, and a cathedral ceiling in the kitchen/dining area provides the backdrop for your culinary delights. There is also a spacious kitchen island that seats four, as well as a half bath off the kitchen.

Just off the upper living area is the air-conditioned ensuite master bedroom with built-in Belizean mahogany cabinets, large closet, and folding mahogany doors that open to enjoy sea views from the king size bed. The light-filled master bath has charming Central American tile on the vanity area and throughout the roomy shower.

The property is a short golf cart ride [3 miles] south of San Pedro and lush with tropical trees, fruit, vegetables, herbs, as well as native plants and flowers. The grounds include an expansive, football field sized private walled garden with bocce ball court and three cascading fountains. Relax or play games in the large screened-in “Tiki Hut,” furnished with oversized lounge chairs and a game table.

The third-floor tower is a destination unto itself. Gather the group to enjoy happy hour sunsets and evening stargazing or escape alone with your morning coffee to view the colorful sunrises.

The pier is a tranquil place to view abundant aquatic life or sip your morning coffee while watching the sunrise. With a large bench for sitting, napping or reading and a ladder to access the water easily for swimming, you might find yourself wading away on your paradise vacation.

Great view of the ocean from the upper deck, wonderful hostess

Angie and her family were our hosts/cooks/housekeepers. They were very helpful and made our stay most pleasant. The property is downright gorgeous and located right on the ocean. I loved sitting on the upper deck and looking out at the water. You will need to have some means of transportation to go to town unless you would enjoy a 5 mile walk along the beach. We rented golf carts, again supplied by Angie. She made us multiple meals, all of it delicious. Our family had a rousing game of Zenga every night on the from porch. We also enjoyed the swimming pool located next-door, which we were allowed to use. Very nice family vacation!

The Belize Sandcastle

We stayed at the Sandcastle for a week. Angie and her family were amazing. The food they prepare was always perfect. I can't say enough about them. The house is far enough from town to be private but still just a short golf cart trip away. With access to an indoor pool, outdoor pool, and the dock, there was plenty of space for us to spread out. We're already trying to figure out when we can return.

Amazing stay overall

We had a wonderful time in Belize and at the Sandcastle House. Angie was very helpful before and during our stay. Most of the food was delicious. We kept asking to have fish for a meal, but they continued to say it was really hard to get fish so we never had it which was weird to us since we were on an island. The doors are vented so you can hear everything and the downstairs connected bedrooms have zero privacy with slots in the walls looking into the bedrooms. A few families also live on the property so it can get pretty loud at times. Overall Belize was amazing and we had so many new experiences. The house location was beautiful and we were well taken care of.

A family gathering!

We all came from different states to spend time together as a family. This home was perfect for that! This was our first time renting an entire home w a cook (s) and housekeeper. Here’s a few comments from our group: “The cooks were the best and so convenient to have Angie set up excursions for us with trusted partners.” Fly fishing, reel fishing, and spear fishing will not be forgotten! One favorite was the Sting Ray Beach, a must see. Beach massages, set up by Angie, were a wonderful treat for us girls! (Spouses too)We were asked often for our meal choices, which we tended to try local fare, and Angie and Nickie did not disappoint! They even surprised us with Happy Birthday decorations for our granddaughter who turned 12! Angie went above expectations to make our stay a trip to never forget! (We had sargassum on the beach so not able to swim. Lucky the neighbor house pool was available or we’d have to drive an hour to the local beach! The pool in the house is super small. Thought I would share that.)

Sandcastle vacation with friends

We started out communicating even before we arrived for menu, transportation options etc. They were all answered by Angie (who was amazing and so friendly!)We arrived by private water taxi right on our dock and were helped into the house. From that moment on we were on vacation!The food was amazing, the house was great, eating outside on the upper deck or the dining room. The bedrooms were very nice. Being able to choose the outside or inside pool was very nice! We found the weather changes quickly in SanPedro.We used the dock to be picked up for several excursions and it really saved on time.The outside seating was great, lounge chairs, hammocks. Volleyball court, cornhole, jenga.It was a very relaxing vacation with Angie and others making it great!I would recommend, using the golf carts and Angie has some available for getting around. If you have things you want to eat just make sure you plan it out. We had everything we asked for and the days we didn’t plan Angie came up with some great local dishes for us.

Great times!

This place is amazing. It was very nice for our stay as we went with 6 people…my two boys and their girlfriends plus me and mine. Right on the water and the pictures are very accurate. If anything, don’t do it justice. Angie, the chef, and her family, were the highlight for us! All around amazing.

Amazing!!

What a beautiful home with a great chef and staff! A few friends decided to get together for the week and while this place looked amazing on-line, it was even better in person! The views were incredible, the hospitality was more than we could have asked for, the rooms were clean and the food was some of the best on the island! Highly recommend staying here and plan on going back soon ourselves.

Amazing escape at the Sandcastle

We stayed at the Sandcastle property for a week in early January 25. The house was perfect for our group of 9, all adults other than our 17, 14, and 11-year-old boys. The house is ideally situated on an all-sand lot looking out at the water with its dock. We spent hours playing sand volleyball, and I wouldn't say we thought we would enjoy that as much as we did. It was fabulous. There were plenty of chairs and hammocks, and the indoor and outdoor pools were clean and reasonably warm. Our group spent a great deal of time in them. The house's layout was excellent, most notably the 2nd level, with the kitchen and large indoor dining table for eating and games. The second-level covered patio was incredible. We had rain a couple of nights, and we sat out at the large outdoor table and listened to the rain fall through the palm trees. The property has massive sliding doors that accordion style open on both levels allowing the fresh air and breeze to blow in.Finally, the on-property caretakers were terrific. They were lovely people who worked hard and took pride in the property—a special thank you to Angie. We would definitely return to Sandcastle and Belize.

Amazing Home with Incredible View

The home is just as it shows in the listing. Plenty of space with the master suite on the top floor. All the sliding glass doors completely slide open making this a true indoor/outdoor experience. Everything is there that you will need including outdoor games such as volleyball net, corn hole and kayaks all included. We did two snorkeling trips with Suya Tours and Carlos was great to work with. But by far the best experience of our trip was having the staff family onsite. Angie and her family were the best to work with and the meals were absolutely incredible. Now if we could find a way to get rid of the mosquitoes, it would be even better!

Everything you're looking for in a Beach Vacation!

Our family had a wonderful time at Belize Sandcastle vacation home! From the moment we were welcomed by (Angie, Jesus, Jose and Luis) on the dock to the moment we left we felt taken care of. It was a special memory we look forward to repeating as soon as possible! Some of the many highlights were: - Delicious meals provided by our very special chef/ now friend Angie. Angie is a true gem and the entire trip was made special because of her wonderful hospitality, sweet smile and attention to detail. Can't say enough about her. Thank you Angie! -The view... absolute paradise. We enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets every day. - The house is beautiful! It is clean and wonderfully stocked and truly a home away from home. Daily housekeeping is a fantastic bonus as well! - The grounds are meticulously kept. The garden is really special. Our kiddos enjoyed learning about the different plants they are growing. Such a unique experience. -The beach is wonderful and clean. We enjoyed swimming, looking for seashells and fishing off the dock. The kayak was fun to take out too! - San Pedro town is a fun place. We only went into town twice (visited the Belizean chocolate factory and artisan market, we also went to dinner one night as well) I can't say enough about our special time, made even more special by those who care for the property inside and out. If you're looking for a perfect beach vacation getaway, Belize Sandcastle has it all!

On the beach with 2 pools

Second time and friend’s 8th time to Belize. Our friends stay at the caribe and actually bought a condo on our trip! The house is clean and spacious with the upper floor having a kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom with master bath and a private living room attached. The lanai was beautiful with an amazing breeze at every meal and sunrise with coffee. The first floor has a small indoor pool 5 feet deep (probably 6 by 10 feet surface size). Don’t worry the owner owns the house beside this and we were able to use the outdoor pool which was a plus! The downstairs has a master bedroom with a big bathroom across the hall. The living room was off the master and on the other side was 2 rooms with a queen and twin in each. There were plenty of fans 2-3 in each room which was great! All of The bedrooms and the living room upstairs have air conditioning. It was hot at times (only in the living room downstairs) but we left the bedroom doors open with the fans and it was much better! We left a volleyball net for everyone to enjoy! Snorkeling was great at the dock and the family worked hard cleaning the sea grass daily which made the beach and water amazing. We got picked up on the dock for all the excursions. Angie and her niece made great meals and cleaned daily. It was a hassle free trip over Easter with 4 teens 2 younger and 4 adults. It is 10 minutes to the airport and 40 minutes to secret beach. Lay back and let Angie make some drink's. The beach is public with a walking path.
