Paradise Found! Beautiful Private Villa On The Sea in the Village of Placencia!
This GOLD STANDARD elegant, private, serene, and truly beautiful villa is set in a gorgeous tropical garden complete with a large waterfall pool, palapa dock, rooftop deck, outdoor entertainment area all right on the Caribbean Sea. This private, walled estate offers complete security, luxury, and privacy. Yet it is but a short walk (5-8 minutes only) to the centre of Placencia Village with its many artisan shops, fantastic local and international restaurants and fun beach bars. As we offer courtesy pick up service to and from the airport, all day excursion guides offer free pick up for guests staying at the villa, the majority of our guests chose not to rent a vehicle during their stay. A considerable cost saving!
The interior space is the lower level of the Villa and is approximately 2,000 square feet offering beautiful decor and every comfort of home. There are two bedrooms each with a queen sized bed and two large bathrooms. One has a beautiful outdoor shower complete with its own small private garden as well as large walk-in indoor shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a gas range, a large refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser, blender, microwave oven, dishwasher and all other equipment necessary to produce a gourmet meal which can be enjoyed in the dining area which seats six. The lounge area is complete with all you need to enjoy a relaxing evening watching television (flat screen) or listening to music. The entire area is tastefully decorated with local art and crafts and is very well maintained. Of course it has central air conditioning, free wi-fi (Skype quality) and cable television for your comfort and enjoyment.
The garden and pool area is truly beautiful! There are many paths to explore to discover its lush foliage, bountiful flowers, including many orchids, numerous types of palms and flowering shrubs, climbing vines and even fruit trees. When swimming in the large salt water pool, gazing at the sea, the large palms or the hundreds of flowers which surround it, one feels as though they are truly in the Garden of Eden! There are several cushioned lounges, chairs, even a hammock in the pool area where you can choose to rest in either the sun or the shade.
Near the pool area is also a new entertainment area complete with an outdoor kitchen. Beautiful custom made picnic table and wet bar complete with refrigerator and Caribbean style gas/wood/briquet BBQ with a smoker to prepare and enjoy those more casual meals and drinks.
The very large palapa dock is several feet from the shore and is a perfect spot to enjoy the sea breezes and watch the sailboats, visiting yachts, local fishing boats and dolphins from the very comfortable loungers. There is also a rooftop deck area with its 360 degree views of the sea, the canal and the distant mountains. Perfect spot for a sundowner while waiting for the most gorgeous sunsets the Caribbean has to offer!
All this comfort and luxury is an ideal place to spend a relaxing day in your private pool or to come home to after a day on Placencia's white sandy beaches, or on one of the many available day trips, snorkelling, sailing, diving, hiking, or exploring nearby rain forests or the ancient Mayan ruins.
Bring your e-book for reading in your hammock, your hiking shoes for local tours, flip flops for dining out and your sweetheart with or without your best friends for a fantastic, relaxing vacation.
Keywords: Beautiful, spacious, private villa complete with waterfall pool, outdoor entertainment area, gorgeous gardens all on the beautiful Caribbean Sea!

Paradise found
I can’t say enough positive things about Gail and Pauls property! The location was perfect! We were able to walk to Placencia Village to the vast assortment of restaurants, shops and the beautiful beach. When we were heading out on various excursions (which Gail and Paul booked for us) we were able to walk across the street to their dock and get picked up either by boat or van. All of the excursions they recommended were outstanding! We especially enjoyed our trip down Monkey River and through the jungle with Percy…we loved the day tour so much we went back at night time!The Villa was beautiful both inside and out. The tropical gardens were amazing, the dock with the palapa was our favorite hang out both day and night! So many stars…Inside was equally beautiful. The accommodations were really comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. Do not hesitate to stay here! We are absolutely coming back again!

A perfect getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at Starfish Villa! The property was just as listed and the photos were accurate but of course didn’t really do it justice. The pool was amazing, the dock with a an authentic palapa was a great hangout, and the rooftop deck was a perfect spot to watch the sunsets. It was a short 10 minute stroll to the village where you can find restaurants, bars, markets, and everything you need. The hosts and caretakers are very helpful and knowledgeable, and are happy to share their recommendations for local outings. We really enjoyed the Monkey River tour with Percy and also having the Thai Massage team come to the villa for spa treatments. I highly recommend Starfish Villa for your next vacation!

Perfect relaxation spot
Starfish Villa is an amazing property. The covered dock over water is shaded with a constant light breeze making it a terrific spot to relax. The pool is large and has great views of the water. Fabulous outdoor kitchen with large grill, full size refrigerator, and lots of seating. Outdoor area is well lite at night. Sunsets from 3rd floor are amazing. Caretakers on the property are kind and helpful. It’s a short walk into town but we rented a golf cart which made it easier to transport groceries. Highly recommend Starfish Villa.

The house and outdoor area were absolutely beautiful; it truly is like a tropical paradise. There are several nice places outdoor to have evening cocktails including the palapa, the covered deck on top of the house, and the pool area. The house was easy walking distance to the village with several good restaurants. And the caretaker was very helpful. Overall, it was a great experience.

Beautiful Villa!
Our family really enjoyed our week stay at Starfish Villa in Placencia! The grounds of the house are absolutely gorgeous and the pool was a big hit with our family. We enjoyed returning each afternoon to swim and hang out. We loved the seating up on the top deck - I would enjoy my morning coffee up there listening to all the birds. The inside of the house was very nice and clean too. Our favorite was the outdoor shower!
Paul and Gail were so welcoming to us and helpful in setting up some great tours. We loved a snorkeling excursion on Blue Water Sailing catamaran and the monkey river tour with Percy was really fun. We did another snorkeling excursion with Splash that was also really nice.
The caretakers of the property were also very friendly and helpful too. The village is about a ten minute walk and we would walk back and forth easily a few times a day. There are plenty of good local restaurants and Tutti Frutti gelato was a favorite. You can also easily rent a golf cart for a day or two to explore farther down the peninsula a bit but it is not necessary.
Thank you for the great stay - we hope to visit again!

A very special place
As so many have said before me, the pictures don't do the property justice. The property grounds and view are even more gorgeous than photos can capture. The location is perfect--an easy and interesting walk to town; and a bit further down a path, and you'll arrive on the "sidewalk" boardwalk and then the beach. We LOVED the town and the beaches--and the good assortment of restaurants and of course, the gelato at Tutti Fruitti! (Interestingly, we recently came back from a trip to Puglia Italy and enjoyed the gelato here in Belize as much as we did in Italy!)
The house is well appointed and has everything one may need for a getaway. The pool was a refreshing treat throughout the day. We especially enjoyed watching sunrises and sunsets from the dock palapas or the rooftop deck.
The hosts and groundkeepers were friendly and helpful. We will most definitely be back to Placencia and would love to come back to Gail and Paul's when we do.

We stayed for a week and loved everything about the property from the beautiful grounds with all the amazing landscaping, the pool, bar and grill area to the lovely and relaxing dock with palapa to the roof top deck. The interior is spacious, beautifully decorated had all the creature comforts of home. The owners went so above and beyond to help is make sure our stay was amazing - just cant thank them enough! We had our wedding here and it was perfect. While our ceremony was small you could easily host a much larger one here on yhe grounds and not feel crowded. Its just the best spot in town. Even our wedding planner who has done over 1000 ceremonies in Belize was talking about want to refer clients here! Just book it. You wont regret it!

This is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Hosts are friendly, helped plan some day trips and even enjoyed some tequila with the guys. The palapa is perfect for watching fish, yoga and drinking wine in the pouring rain. The pool is a clean and crisp refresher. The gardens! If you love to wander and look at fauna, I think there’s over 10 varieties of orchids here. So many other plants as well! The grounds are also very alive in lizards!
This house was a great place to be. Short walk, or cart ride to town and great swimming beaches. Highly recommend this place.

One of the most beautiful and exquisitely manicured properties in which we have ever stayed. The pics don’t do the gardens/pool/dock justice. You have to see it yourself. The sunsets from the roof and the sunrises from the dock are incredible. We got a golf cart, Capt Jax was great) but you are within walking distance to great restaurants. Make sure you try Wendy’s for breakfast and drinks and dinner at “The Other Side”. They come get you in a boat. Ring the bell! Luisa, Rolando, and Eddie (spelling?? Sorry) are the absolutely the best. They were there for whatever we needed. The tour of the town and recommendations were so helpful. Thanks to all.

Words fail me when I try to describe the beauty of this property. Previous reviews from other travelers state that the pictures do not do the property justice. I think this is an accurate statement.

The interior space of the property is more than fine, but the real attraction to this property is the outside space. The swimming pool is large and deep (7 feet) and absolutely gorgeous. The grounds around it are beautifully manicured with palms, orchids, and other flowering bushes. The palapa deck provides a lovely view of the sea and a cool breeze. We took a couple of excursions around Placencia, but spent most of our time floating around in the pool. Wouldn't change a thing!

Paradise? Yep!
There is no way for photos to do this place justice. It is truly a beautiful property, located in a village that is full of character and history.
On site, the pool and the gardens are amazing. We were there for 10 days, and I feel like I saw something new every day. You can wander and look at the flowers, watch the birds, and take in all of the smells and sounds. The pool is lovely and there are lots of places to relax...each with its own view and feel.
Inside, the rooms are comfortable and the kitchen is well stocked. Lots of room to move around, lots of closet and drawer space. Everything was super clean.
We felt well taken care of during the stay. We had a lot of questions, and Luisa always was kind and helpful as we navigated our adventures, even as one of us was unexpectedly on crutches for the entire vacation.
This trip was a graduation present for our 18 year old son, and it was a memorable and special trip for him and us.
We truly hope we can make it back someday!
