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.

About St John, U.S. Virgin Islands - St. John
Of all the islands, St John is probably the most unspoiled, thanks to the contribution of one of the world's best known philanthropists, Laurence Rockefeller. Had it not been for Rockefeller's gift of money and his desire to preserve beautiful St John, the landscape would probably look more commercial, much like the other Virgin Islands.

Caribbean Travel Tip
Ocean Undercurrents
If you get sucked out into the ocean by an undercurrent follow these instructions:
Do not panic, save all your strength.
Act immediately. Swim parallel to the shoreline. Even if you cannot, keep trying until you can.
What you are doing is swimming out of the undertow and into the current that will more than likely push you back to shore. Remember, in saltwater you float so you can stay alive for any number of days. Unless you are on a secluded beach a boat will reach you in time to rescue you should you fail to not be able to swim out of the undertow.
