Property is beautiful and feels very private. The pool was incredible and our kids were in it from sunrise to sunset. We had a great time using the paddleboards and snorkeling right from the house. The grocery store is about 25 minutes away so having the in house chef was such a helpful amenity. Carlos and melanie were so great at keeping the place clean during the week and we greatly appreciated Erica's help with booking our boat tour. ##### Heidi ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott S., St. George, Utah USA Oct 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### South Gull Belize Beautiful well appointed home on the beach with private pool.

Apr 4, 2023 #### Overall great rental We just got back from a week at the South Gull Villa. Highly recommend as the house felt very new and clean. Our chef Orlando and the housekeeper Lucy were the best we have ever had. Gecko is a top notch rental company and the overall price with chef included is a great deal. We found the pool enjoyable and loved the sandy beach. Would definitely recommend this house. Air conditioning worked very well. I would consider a rental car as it is a drive to downtown Placencia. ##### Kathy K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### 4 f. Mar 22, 2025 #### Most epic vacation spot ever South Gull Villa was above and beyond the most epic vacation spot we could have ever imagined! The house was even better than the pictures. It is spacious and had a perfect layout for four families. The location was private and safe. You are close enough to bars and restaurants but far enough from the crowds. The pool, the beach, the amenities are all perfect- even down to the flamingo floaty. Even better than the location and house are the incredible staff. Chef Damien blew our minds with his meals! We wish we would have had him come more than the 3 days. This is the best service we have ever experienced on a vacation! The cleaning staff and grounds crew were beyond helpful and did an amazing job. The house was spotless and our beach was raked every morning. Our concierge was helpful and responsive throughout our planning process. Even our van drivers were the best! I can’t say enough about this amazing location and experience. We will book this again! ##### 4 f.

Beautiful property, immaculately cared for. The housekeeper, Melanie cleaned the place top to bottom daily. Carlos the grounds keeper removed sea grass and cleaned the pool daily. The chef, Orlando was awesome. Spacious and modern. There are restaurants about 10-15 min away by golf cart. For a future visit I would bring sand toys- there are none with the property. Also being way more cash than you think you need- there are a lot of things that are cash only. ##### Michelle This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle Nov 15, 2023 #### Beautiful property, immaculately cared for.

Jul 16, 2024 #### Best of The Best We loved everything about this property. It was perfect for our group and we had people aged 1-75! Orlando was the BEST chef and took the time to learn what everyone liked and the food was amazing. Carlos and Melanie were AMAZING and were like family even on day 1. Always there for anything and willing to help on anything. Those 3 and this property made for a dream vacation. Also, super important to me- the AC was GREAT! :-) The Gecko communication was awesome and prompt. I was confident coming in as well as when we were there. We were there when the hurricane was headed right at us and I was at ease because of all the people at Gecko and their communication. Miss everyone that this beautiful property already! ##### Sands F. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cara Jan 5, 2025 #### Best Staff! This was a great place to stay for our family reunion, family of 11, with plenty of room for everyone. The golf cart, pool, paddle boards, and kayaks were put to great use! However, the best part of the house is the staff. Orlando, the chef, was amazing. Not only was his food delicious, but his company was even better. He was professional and kind. In addition, Carlos and Melanie, who take care of the property inside and out, made us feel at home. Carlos raked the beach, cleaned the pool, and Melanie kept the house spotless. We are very grateful for their professionalism and hard work! They made the trip for us :). One thing to note: two of the three upstairs showers did take a bit to warm up, and I would (for a big family) recommend renting a car as you cannot fit everyone on the golf cart. The property is peaceful and relaxing! We had a great week! Thank you! ##### Cara ### 10/10 Excellent #### Audrey M. Mar 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Outstanding retreat for family and friends We had 3 families (11 total guests) in our group and had an incredible time here! The house was clean, beautiful and having our own pool and beach was wonderful! It is on the outskirts of the town so it is essential to have a golf cart or car to get around outside of tours. We rented an additional golf cart while there which worked out perfectly. We really appreciated having the house cleaned and daily laundry by Kelly, and were spoiled with amazing meals by Orlando. This listing come with a few days of chef service included as part of the price- this is a game changer especially if you have a large group!! The concierge service that is associated is also a huge bonus. We are looking at the calendar to return again! ##### Audrey M.
