More Info:
Coco Caye Villa sits on a former coconut plantation surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Located just north of San Pedro Town, this enclave of five privately owned homes share a beach and pool.
The Villas
The Villa features two bedroom suites, three full baths, a fully stocked kitchen and a living area with vaulted Belizean hardwood ceilings and a huge terrace that overlooks the sea. Each bedroom suite is completely independent with its own entrance and mini-fridge. The whole house has air conditioning, coral stone floors and brightly colored hand-glazed tiles and sinks. Other features include: Stereo with CD & Cassette players, Color TV with satellite service and VCR.
The Villa accommodates four people very comfortably and can sleep two additional people on the queen size fold-out sofa in the living room. For larger parties, rent all or part of neighboring Villa or a room at a nearby resort. Laundry services are available; baby sitting and prepared meals can be arranged. Cellular phones are available for rent.
Ambergris Caye is the largest and most popular of the many cayes (pronounced "keys") in the waters of Belize. This narrow island surrounded by the Caribbean, is approximately 25 miles long and was once a part of the Yucatan Peninsula. Just a quarter mile off shore to the east lies the Barrier Reef, the largest in the Western Hemisphere. It is marked by a white line of surf and the soothing sound of breaking waves that continues nearly 190 miles along Belize's coast.
Some 35 miles from Belize City, Ambergris Caye can be reached easily by a fifteen minute flight from Belize International Airport, or by ferry service. Visitors arrive in San Pedro Town on the Southern tip of the island, home to nearly 5,000 residents. Just six blocks long and four blocks wide this is the island's center and only town. The streets are sand and the major modes of transportation are bicycles, golf carts and walking on your bare feet. San Pedranos speak English, Spanish, Creole and Maya.
Hol Chan, Bacalar Chico and Mexico Rocks are several of the local marine parks where you can enjoy spectacular snorkeling and diving. The outer atolls and The Great Blue Hole make great day trips for more serious divers. The fishing in the beautiful water around the reef and mangrove flats is spectacular. Also not to be missed are day tours of the mainland Mayan sites, the Zoo, and the Mountain Pine Ridge Region. Belize has the best of both worlds and Ambergris Caye a makes wonderful home base for exploring the entire country.
A Few Facts about Belize:
- English is the official language.
- The Subtropical climate has an annual mean temperature of 79 degrees Fahrenheit.

- The Largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere just offshore.

It is a wonderful, laid back place to visit!
Nearby Attractions:
From here, you can stroll to nearby resorts for meals or drinks. A quick water taxi ride will bring you into town and local restaurants, or rent bikes for a nice ride along the beach. Located just a quarter mile from the famous barrier reef, activities abound. Dozens of dive and snorkel sites are just minutes from the house and fishing (fly, spin cast and deep sea), tours of the Mayan ruins, sailing and other excursions can easily be arranged by our local management. Local dive shops can arrange dives as well as trips to The Blue Hole and the outer islands. They rent and sell equipment for divers and snorklers, so feel free to come down with little less than your bathing suit.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Preparation for Your Trip
Start Early. If a passport is required for you to enter the country where you are planning to travel, apply for it as soon as possible.
Learn about the countries you plan to visit. Before departing, read up on the culture and people for the places you will travel.
As you travel, keep abreast of local news coverage. If you are in an area experiencing civil unrest or a natural disaster, if you will be staying more than two weeks in an area, or if you are going to a place where communications are poor, you are encouraged to register with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Registration takes only a few moments, and it may be invaluable in case of an emergency. Remember to leave a detailed itinerary and the numbers of your passport or other citizenship documents with a friend or relative in the United States.
For up-to-date travel information on any country in the world that you plan to visit, obtain the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet. This covers topics such as entry regulations, the crime and security situation, drug penalties, and location of the nearest U.S. embassy, consulate or consular agency.
The Department also issues Travel Warnings and Public Announcements. A Travel Warning advises travelers not to go to a country because of dangerous conditions and/or U.S. government's ability to assist a U.S. citizen in distress there is severely limited. A Public Announcement is issued as a means to disseminate information quickly about relatively short-term and/or trans-national conditions which would pose significant risks to the security of American travelers.
