Private Beachfront Villa 6BR Caribbean Beach Palapa Pool/Cook/Pier/Rooftop bar

This property is exactly as advertised. Location is amazing - far enough out of town to feel a little secluded but still easy access to restaurants, stores etc. The private beach is amazing!!! Access to paddle board and kayak right out the back door was really great. Property management was excellent - very responsive - highly recommend doing the day snorkelling tour with Johnny it was the highlight of our trip!

We stayed at the Villa Mandevilla a week in February. We were very pleased with the cleanliness and location of the house(definitely need the golf carts). There were 6 couples and the house provide us a great amount of space for everyone. We spent the mornings down in the Pallapa area having coffee and watching the waters. During the day we utilized the pool area (the pool isn't large but worked well for our group) and spent the evenings on the roof top. Cora, Jorge and Johnny were awesome to work with. We had a few very minor issues at the house and the response time was amazing. We can't say enough good things about how Cora helped us plan our arrival, excursions and departure. She is very personable and we felt like she could have fit right in with our group. Jorge was so sweet making sure the pool, outdoor areas on the house and beach were clean. We had lots of laughs on our golf cart rides to and from town. It is a bumpy road but if you turn it into an adventure it is very entertaining. We did utilize the chef 3 times during our stay. It was nice the 1st night and 1st morning not having to worry about cooking. We were able to taste and enjoy the cultural foods of Belize. She even made a birthday cake for one of our crews 60 birthday. There are several restaurants close to the house that we visited and really enjoyed. We would definitely rent this house again...

-Great communication with the owner, the Caretaker, Cora & the tour guide Johnny. Cora helped navigate transfers, arranged golf cart rentals, got our initial groceries delivered and made great recommendations.-Beautifully maintained grounds by Jorge. He rakes the sand, removes the seaweed, and keeps the place as bug free as possible. -Pool, dock, palapa, dining table, kitchen all wonderful. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms plentiful. -We only used the chef the first night for a traditional Belizean meal so we would have food upon our evening arrival and it was good. Just so many good restaurants in town to try we didn't book any other meals with her. -Nice that the boat tours picked up right at our dock. -Great to have a basic supply of groceries arranged to be at the house already including the local rums and beer.-Further south and on other side of the island is a fun place called We Jammin' boat bar which we enjoyed for a few hours a couple of the days(10min walk or 3 min drive). Try the Captain's Tea and the Purple Shark drinks.-It is a long bumpy ride to town but kinda fun and it works out just fine. Always felt very safe. -There is a house adjacent being built very slowly. It didn't bother us, but occasionally you would hear them start work at 8am. It was the birds that would wake us up more than the workers.

Beautiful large house with large comfortable room for 12 or more, nice entertaining areas, enchanting beach and pier with some wildlife, many possibility of tours locally or in the mainland with ferry or (maybe easier) by commuter flights. Locally, by boat from the house you can reach incredible places on the coral reef or enjoy a few hours of fishing. Cora and Jonny manage the house and are always available for any need and for efficient organization of tours. It was a very pleasant vacation with my kids and grankids!

We had a great holiday. The house was lovely and the pool was amazing with 4 young children. Non of us enjoyed the sand fleas although who would? They were nasty and uncomfortable. The weather was great until it wasn't and Tropical Sara unfortunately made the trip end badly, but the house, the Cook and the pool were great.

Our large family group stayed at this beautiful house 6/4/24-6/12/24. 14 of us ranging in age from 10yr to 70yr. traveled to Belize to celebrate my parents 50th wedding Anniversary and had an AMAZING vacation with everything we needed. Cora and Jorge were responsive to our needs and questions, Johnny and his crew were knowledgable, creative and fun snorkel/fishing guides. SO IMPORTANT - I must also mention that one of our family members had a medical emergency while out fishing with Johnny and Victor. These 2 men acted so calm, quickly and appropriately, notifying Cora (who is the nurse manager at the San Pedro hospital) to arrange emergency transportation and further medical care. Cora went above and beyond at the hospital to take care of and ensure that our family member was treated effeciently. Couldn't have asked for a better team of people in a scary situation!! Perfect house for a large group with AMAZING house manager and team - you NEED to stay here!!

We completely enjoyed our time at the Villa Mandavilla Belize.

We have a family of 10, all adult couples. (Waiting on the grandchildren some day) So when I say family I can't comment on the stay with small children, but the cdhildrens room, which we didn't even use, was nicely appointed. The home is large, the outdorr showers and rooftop were super cool, the pool area is private and the beachfront was nicely manicured. There is a dock which I was told is shared with the houses on the driveway up to the house. I only mention this becuase we had an ackward moment when those guests showed up and situated themselves in the charis on the beach which belong to the house we were renting. It was a simple misunderstnading, which the manager addressed promptly. The only criticisms I would offer is; the distance from from town, the golf cart ride is a bit rough, the house is somewhat dated and there is construction going on next door. The noise was not bad at all, and there was a nice privacy construction wall inplace. It was very nice to have the mantenance man at the ready, and the house managers were so accomodating. The excursions we took advantage while there were the Beach BBQ, spearfishing, and scuba diving. It was super convenient that we could get picked up at the onsite dock! All around beautiful location!

We stayed with 7 adults and utilized every bedroom. Communication and instructions prior to the visit were helpful and accurate. Great place for family or friends in a quiet area. Cora (property mgr) booked flights from BZE, groceries for the first day, golf carts & snorkel with Johnny Airport Transfers & golf cart pickup were smooth and helpful. Rooms are spacious, clean and AC worked great. Having a bathroom to each room was a positive. Kitchen worked well to cook for the group and the full size fridge was nice to hold food and beverages for a large group. Pool and beach were awesome and we used the paddle boards and kayaks daily. The roof top terrace was a great place to have morning coffee or a sunset happy hour. There is some construction next door but the crews were respectable of our privacy and the noise didn’t bother us. The house is somewhat of a long drive from town, but we like the adventure of making it an outing when we went. This may bother some, but again, we enjoyed stopping at the many small roadside stands, bars and restaurant's along the way. There are some great local restaurants nearby (stax (Robin is the best!), someplace south, happy’s taquilara) as well as a small C-store about 10min away that always had cold beer, water and ice as well as a few quick staples to save you some time driving all the way to town. We utilized a couple road side fruit and vegetable stands that had great produce, as well as tortilla and breads from local vendors.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! There was 6 adults and 2 kiddos (age 4 and 6). We loved the paddle boards and kayaks used them to explore. There were a few sting rays that we got to see from the paddle board and deck. We took advantage of using Johnny to take us on tours. He is super knowledgeable and a great guide. We went reef fishing one morning, scuba diving ( the reef is unbelievable and the second dive we saw plenty of reef sharks which was very cool!) we did group snorkeling and saw so many varieties of fish. Then we went to snorkel with the nurse sharks, which was a very cool experience. Even my 6 year old got in with us! We ate the fish that we caught. Johnny made us conch ceviche after our snorkeling trip. Our girls loved the swimming pool. The roof top has amazing views and perfect for star-gazing. Cora was awesome with communication and getting everything set us for our trip! We would definitely come back
