Great hospitality, lots of information and help with the local venues. Looking over the river and the deck area was great for watching birds. We would definitely like to return when we get back to Belize. ##### Charlene S. Stayed 5 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shirley D.

The gated parking is what drew our attention. Our Hosts were wonderful, and we felt like family from the start. Walking into town was a treat. ##### Shirley D. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cindy T. Apr 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wish Willy Wanderingd This delightful spot is perched on a bank with a lovely overlook of the Macal River. The hosts are wonderful and love sharing their deck and Riverview area with their guests. Both Julie and Gary bend over backwards to help their quests have as lovely a stay in the San Ignacio area as oossible. I highly recommend this Vrbo property. ##### Cindy T. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kaylin G., Austin, TX, United States Feb 25, 2019 #### Quaint vacation rental with lovely owners Our stay (husband and I) overall was a great one. The best part was the owners - Julie was such a joy to chat with and always eager to be helpful and friendly. The location was very close to many restaurants, supermarkets - very central to Santa Elena and San Ignacio both. We felt extremely safe while staying at this property the entire time. The vacation rental is a bit dated but it suited our needs just fine other than the bed. The only reason I give the rental 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bed mattress and pillows were very uncomfortable and made it difficult for us to get some quality sleep. Overall would recommend the property, though, and would return if the sleeping situation were improved! ##### Kaylin G.
