Seaside Casa with a Private Pool, and Palapa

What an amazing location that’s away from the busy downtown of San Pedro. We received the best sleep, enjoyed the private pool and fishing of the dock. The hosts were amazing and down to earth. We will definitely be back!

Joan was amazing! She asked ahead of time if we needed anything, organized a grocery service so that we had a few essentials to start our stay with, she suggested Stax pizza on the way “home” to the casa which was excellent and convenient. Joan really went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. It felt like we knew someone on the island. Seaside casa felt like our own private paradise. We saw dolphins from the dock every morning around 8am. She organized a spectacular fishing and snorkeling tour. Leji & Carlos cooked us lunch on the beach with the fish we caught. Ho Chan is a must snorkel! Carlos got in the water with us and pointed out things we would not have noticed on our own. Next time I would save up and book this tour twice. Cave tubing on the mainland was also a highlight. The best experience I have ever had during a stay.

We cannot say enough about this place and the hosts. The house is gorgeous and away from the hustle of the city but, still close enough to go into town or a local market. We enjoyed breathtaking sunrises and sunsets from our private dock, had our fridge stocked with all our creature comforts, private pick up from our boat dock for fishing and snorkeling excursions, massages and in house meals prepared, laundry, private pool, etc. All courtesy of our hosts recommendations. We had the best week ever thanks to Joan, Michael, and Katie. Five stars. Would definitely recommend! We can’t wait to go back and visit our hosts we now call friends.

Joan and her family were very pleasant hosts. They provided great info and recommendations to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Although there was an issue with the refrigerator, Joan did have some cute decorations and treated us for breakfast for our anniversary which is super sweet. Ice was provided for the duration of the stay in place of the refrigerator not working. They did their best to accommodate us and we are super appreciative. The outdoor was beautiful and secluded unfortunately this time of the year the mosquitos were unbearable and we could not enjoy hanging out by the pool and getting massages but the water like I planned. We purchased repellent as advised but that didn’t seem to work at all. This is outside of the hosts control but I wanted to make note of it in case someone decided to book this time of the year. I have already recommended this location to our friends during peak season!

My girlfriend and I loved our stay at Seaside Casa. Joan and Michael are wonderful hosts. They go above and beyond to make sure your stay is wonderful. Joan even helped me retrieve items that I forgot when we left. So appreciated! The setting on the ocean is amazing. Postcard worthy. As other reviewers have noted, there is a large resort under construction next door, but it didn't really bother us. It wasn't all that noisy when we were there.The house is very well cared for, and very clean. The kitchen was good for cooking and for breakfasts. We took a kayak out one day, which was lovely. The pool is awesome, with an amazing view. Just lounging under the palapa on the ocean is heavenly.It's about 20 to 30 minutes to town on a golf cart, but we actually enjoyed the drive. And the carts do have lights for night driving.We highly recommend snorkeling (or you can scuba) at Hol Chan Reserve. Phenomenal. Our favorite restaurant was Caroline's Cookin'. It's very casual, I'd describe it as funky, but the food is amazing and the people are great.Also all of Joan's recommendations were fantastic. Would give 6 stars out of 5 if that was available.

We had a lovely stay at Joan's place! The kitchen is very well equipped, the bed is comfortable, and it felt very safe and private. The construction, unfortunately, has begun again next door, but it really didn't disturb our stay. We appreciated Joan's suggestions for food and adventures, I would highly recommend taking at least a half-day out on the boat, and at some point, have a great dinner at the Black Orchid. As some have pointed out, if you want to be in the hustle and bustle, or are looking for a party hot-spot, this isn't your place. If you want quiet, privacy, peaceful kayaking and a lovely getaway, this is for you. Thank you, Joan, for a great stay!

Our stay at this beautiful house was very relaxing. Joan and Michael were fabulous hosts, and their daughter Katie was just as great. Joan and Katie met us at the airport on our arrival and led us around to see important locations, like good grocery stores and Katie even bought us our first Belikin Beer. We chose their referrals for our golf cart, massages, chef, and boat captain - all exceeded our expectations! We loved our San Pedro experience.

The home was perfect for what the my wife and I wanted. It had everything we needed. It is definitely away from the hustle and bustle of town but still just a 20-25 fun golf ride in. Joan(host) was always there with a quick response when needed. Morning coffee under the palapa at the end of the pier was a daily routine and beautiful. We watched the fishermen go by as well as saw different fish around the pier as well as a pretty spotted little ray. The bird life was also abundant. Per Joan’s suggestion we had Marfa the chef come and cook 3 different nights. They were delicious restaurant style meals at a very reasonable price. And…..she does the dishes. Highly recommend her services. We fine dined at Palmillas and Frenchy’s. Palmillas was fabulous on the veranda but Frenchy’s was Ok and not really worth the to us. Stax was our first and last meal-quick and easy and just “down the street”. Toast was a fun dinner on Tuesday as we played some BINGO. The Hula Bar was also a cool place over the water and nearby. We went to Palapas in town twice and had some tasty lunches as well as snorkeled under the pier there. One day was dedicated to town shopping and was a fun time as well. We only did one excursion and that was snorkeling the Blue Hole with Belize Pro Dive Shop. Again another fine business suggested by Joan. You can’t miss Thursday night at Corona Del Mar……Chicken Poop. Google it and enjoy. It was a blast. Again, this home was perfect.

There’s nothing better for lowering blood pressure than staying at Seaside Casa. Hanging out in the private pool while watching the Caribbean 50 yards away was the most peaceful spot we’ve been to in a very long time. Joan is super helpful, great suggestions. a very long time. T

The property had everything we could have wanted including a private pool, dock with palapa and kayaks. We appreciated being away from the hectic pace of San Pedro and enjoyed the birds in the area. Joan was a great host and provided lots of valuable information and advice. We would definitely recommend the Seaside Casa to anyone visiting Ambergris Caye.

We had a fun memorable stay at Seaside Casa. Hostess helped us prepare for our trip with advise and bookings prior to travel. The view is awesome. We got picked up right at the dock for fishing and snorkeling. Home was well equipped, clean and private.

We loved the peace and quiet! Enjoyed having our morning coffee on the private pier. Our hosts Joan,Michael Katie and Alex were terrific! Joan and Katie were great at communicating. They met us at the airport and helped us arrange our golf cart rental. They also had great recommendations for restaurants, fishing, snorkeling, and massages! Alex took us on a private fishing trip that we really enjoyed. Highly recommend if you want to be away from the action of San Pedro town but close enough if you want to go there. Can’t say enough about how nice the hosts are! They totally gave us complete privacy. We didn’t even know they were there. Great vacation!

The hosts were great people that went the extra mile to give us all the information on golf cart rental and how to get to the property.It was a nice surprise as is a beautiful property thats clean and caring hosts that run it and it shows.Thank you for a great holiday and birthday. Mike Nikki

This was our first time in Belize celebrating our 20th anniversary. We believe we made the best decision in booking our stay at Seaside Casa. It was very clean, quiet and spacious! Away from all the noise/traffic in town. We had a private pool and dock. My husband was able to fish off the dock and caught a barracuda! Our Host Joan was the best! If we needed anything, she was there to provide. We loved her so much, we've adopted her as our friend, as well as her husband Mike and daughter Katie. We miss you!
