The host was great and met us on arrival and was there for check out. You should also consider arranging for the arrival dinner.

The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and the bedding was soft. The home was clean and secure.The only disappointment was when I read "ac" in the description, I presumed more of the home would have ac. The only ac was in a small bedroom that had a double bed. Overall, the home is very open and a constant breeze kept it mostly comfortable.I would stay here again for sure! ##### Stephanie B. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### TJ U.

Consuelo cooked us a delicious Christmas dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better meal, eating on the veranda with a beautiful view overlooking the hills. So pretty! The home is a great location for adventures around San Ignacio and an excellent place to retreat to after a busy day.

Katia answered any inquiries quickly and was very helpful with directions and details. The gardener kept the grounds clean and always had a smile; the resident dogs were very friendly and so well behaved.

This modern home exceeded all expectations, providing a truly unforgettable experience. The property manager, Consuelo, was exceptional, ensuring our stay was flawless. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail were remarkable. To top it off, Consuelo treated us to a delectable homemade meal one evening, which was both delicious and reasonably priced. I cannot recommend this property enough - it truly offers the perfect combination of beauty, comfort, and outstanding service. ##### Adam T. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chrissy S. Jun 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Postcard View We loved our time at this property. It’s beautifully maintained, and it’s clear the owners have put a lot of care and thought into both the home’s design and the surrounding grounds. Everything felt intentional and welcoming.The setting is incredibly serene, truly a peaceful escape. The only sounds we heard were neighboring goats, roosters, turkeys, and the songs of tropical birds. Combined with the stunning views and the relaxing pool, the whole experience felt like stepping into a postcard.By far, the highlight of our stay was Consuelo. She is unbelievably kind and helpful, and she made us our favorite meal of the entire trip. I’ve never been excited about tortillas and beans until I had Consuelo’s. I can’t recommend the welcome dinner enough.Katia, the owner, was also wonderful. Very accommodating and responsive. She graciously allowed us to drop off our bags early on the first day and helped us out when I forgot to send in our dinner order.The only downside was that the master bedroom didn’t have air conditioning. This made the first night uncomfortable for me, but I quickly adjusted.Overall, we had a lovely experience and would absolutely recommend staying here. ##### Chrissy S.

Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise on top of the hill We had a wonderful stay at Katia's property! The house was beautiful and the pool and the view were outstanding. We had everything we needed and communication with Katia and the other staff was excellent. My only complaint is that only one of the three bedrooms has AC, and when we were there it was HOT (consistently in the high 30s/40+ degrees C), so sleeping at night in the non-airconditioned bedrooms was quite warm - but opening the windows and putting the fans on did help. We would definitely stay again and recommend Katia's house to others looking for a well located, beautiful and peaceful retreat. Thanks! Carly ##### Carly D.

This property was just amazing! The layout was perfect for our family…we like to spread out and there was plenty of room to do that. With the bedrooms on either end of the house, we all met in the middle for meals and to enjoy the incredible view from the back. We cook a lot, and the house had everything we needed. We just wished we were staying longer to enjoy more of the view, but we had so many things planned. Don’t miss the Iguana Conservancy and the VIP tour at the Raptor Center is a can’t-miss! AJAW Chocolate in town was super fun and educational. We love supporting the local community! Thank you, Katia, for being an incredible host! ##### Joyce S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana C. Apr 3, 2018 #### Incredible! Don’t hesitate to book this property. It’s a 10-min drive to San Ignacio where you can find tour guides to take you pretty much anywhere. This house is an architectural masterpiece. The owner is so accommodating and responsive. The view is fabulous and it’s nice and quiet w/ good bird watching. We used Pacz Tours in San Ignacio for our caving trips (ATM cave & tubing in Roaring Creek River through the cave complex there). Xunantunich ruins are also close to the house (@15 - 20 min drive) where we heard and saw howler monkeys. This is the best location to use as a base for inland explorations of Belize (and eastern Guatemala too). ##### Diana C. Stayed 44 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette S. Feb 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful home, great location for jungles, caves, ruins. This home is gorgeous, peaceful and spacious. The grounds are immaculately cared for with lovely walking paths. The back deck and pool overlook the back yard. We saw toucans every morning in addition to squirrels, lizards and other cool birds. The kitchen has all the basics; salt, coffee, dishes. The driveway and roads leading to the property are awful. Ruts, holes, etc. but part of the adventure that is Belize. No kidding though, worst we encountered anywhere in Belize. I strongly recommend this property to anyone! We enjoyed our stay immensely. ##### Annette S.

We had an amazing stay in Santa Elena. This house and property are very well stocked and kept. It’s a beautiful property that’s is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the effort. The breezy porch is perfect for morning coffee. A note about the swimming pool, it was too cold for our liking. Perhaps because we are northerners and used to heated pools. We had Consuelo prepare a meal for our arrival, including a cake from a local bakery that she picked up for us. This was for a birthday and was fabulous!! I can not praise Consuelo enough. She greeted us on our arrival and explained everything and was there for our departure. We definitely recommend this house. ##### Barbie W.
