About this house rental
This beautiful rustic cabin-like home is nestled among the native trees of the rainforest, located a short 5 minute drive from San Ignacio. Our lovely home is on a very private 1/2 acre, with 2 bedroom 1 bath, with AC to keep you cool on the hot days, and a 300sq ft loft great for kids. The down stairs bedrooms have a double bed in each and the loft has 3 twin beds. Kitchen and living space combined. Fully equipped to save money on meals. The town of San Ignacio has a wonderful farmers market every Saturday, where you can buy native fruits and vegetables mostly organically grown. This is a must do while you here!
We are on the grid (running water, electricity, and WIFI)! Remember you are in the rainforest, wifi can go out, you may lose electricity and water can go out from time to time. Beautiful 500sq ft veranda where you can relax drinking the first morning cup of coffee while taking in the beautiful breathtaking views of the rainforest! On our property you can enjoy a built-in BBQ, mature fruit trees, for the picking, Mango, coconut, and avocado. We try to keep our property as chemical free as possible. We do very little spraying for critters in and around the home or near the fruit trees.
We are located approximately 1 1/2 hour from Belize City, (airport) which is on the coast! We highly recommend when booking our Casita a 4WD and at the very least an AWD, due to mountain terrain and unpaved, rouged road up to our house. We are also 10 miles from the Guatamalan border. There are so many things to do here, it's approximately 1 hour 45 mins to the must see Tikal ruins, and only a 10 min drive to the Cahel Pech Mayan Ruins in San Ignacio. We have heard rave reviews about the Mayawalk Tour Company where you can book many must see adventures, like cave tubing, ziplining, horseback riding, hiking, and canoeing tours. Also beautiful must see waterfalls! The coast line has one of the most amazing barrier reefs in the world for your snorkeling pleasure and not to mention the magnificent must see Blue Hole, it's all here in Belize so you can have it all in a matter of a few hours.
We have an amazing property managers that will meet you and show you up to the casita if you get lost. They will be available if you have any questions during your stay. We require a cleaning/electricty fee of $75USD. This fee is paid in cash to the property manager Rocky or Angela at time of check-in.

My short stay in the Belize Gem Casita was wonderful. Roque and Angela (the next door neighbors and property managers) were communicative and kind, and they checked in with me every evening to ensure I'd enjoyed my day and didn't need anything. The property is as lovely as the photos, and everything was as described and operational, including the A/C in the main living space and the wifi. I did try to use the TV one night, and it turns on fine, but I couldn't figure out how to cast to it (I have the Miracast app, but my phone and the TV couldn't seem to find each other), so I gave up and read a book and enjoyed some quiet time. It is a little bit out of town (about 20 minutes walking) and up quite a steep hill, so heed their advice on having a 4WD/AWD vehicle to get there if driving. If you do any tours (I did two through Mayawalk) that include transport, they will likely pick you up at the bottom of the hill at the nearest paved intersection about 10 minutes walking away from the cabin, so pad your meeting time with that knowledge. If you're looking for some peace and quiet and don't mind the bit of distance from San Ignacio proper, I highly recommend this property!

We absolutely loved our stay here. A little off the beaten path, which is how we like it. Tons of wildlife and domestic animals around, there was a litter of neighbor kittens maybe 12-14 weeks old that came and visited us every morning and evening, they were so cute and we were in heaven! Sheep grazing next door, wild parrots passing by, a few friendly dogs in the neighborhood. Can you tell we love animals? The view from the veranda is unreal, be sure to wake up early enough to see the sunrise! Yes the hill to get up to the property can be challenging and it’s not really possible to walk anywhere because of this. You need a 4WD vehicle. We were fine with this and the rough terrain only increases your privacy. We did 2 Mayan ruin tours with Mayawalk Tours which we highly recommend. There is a grocery store at the bottom of the hill that has everything you could need and a few great restaurants very close by. Be sure to check out the BRAND NEW Cafe Chile, you’ll pass right by it on your way to the casita, you can’t miss it. It just had its grand opening the week before we arrived. A little pricey by San Ignacio standards but wonderful ambiance, service, and GREAT food. Marilyn was wonderful checking is in and was readily available the whole time we were there but we got along great on our own. Don’t hesitate to book!

The property was perfectly situated to allow all the best of the San Ignacio area to be conveniently accessed.
Marilyn was extremely accommodating and helpful.
We had the entire Cahal Pech ruins (a mere 5 minutes away) to ourselves any given evening.
And the weekend market was fantastic (5 minutes from the house)!
Maya Walk tours was fantastic and facilitated daily outings...ActunTunichil Maknul (ATM) Caves, Xunantunich and Tikal.
The post-trip Happy Hour at Tandoor was a blast, and their food is very authentic and delicious!!
