Out-of-the-Box Design • Unobstructed Caribbean Views • Modern Island Living
Ready for a vacation that breaks away from the ordinary? Welcome to Box House Boca Ciega, a uniquely designed oceanfront retreat crafted from repurposed shipping containers and elevated to capture spectacular, unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea.
Located approximately four miles south of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Belize, this one-of-a-kind home combines modern urban style with tropical island living. Industrial-inspired details, native Belizean hardwood cabinetry, polished concrete countertops, and expansive floor-to-ceiling patio doors create a distinctive space that feels both contemporary and connected to its natural surroundings.

A One-of-a-Kind Home with a View
Designed with an open-concept layout, Box House Boca Ciega brings the kitchen, living area, and studio-style bedroom together in one bright, airy space. Its minimalist aesthetic allows the architecture and breathtaking ocean views to take center stage, while thoughtful touches add warmth and character.
The home's original shipping-container flooring, complete with its preserved rivets, celebrates its unconventional construction. Native hardwood cabinetry brings a touch of Belizean craftsmanship, creating a memorable blend of industrial design and tropical charm.
The fully equipped kitchen features full-size stainless steel appliances, concrete countertops, small appliances, cookware, and everything you need to prepare meals at home. Please note that the kitchen includes a stovetop but does not have an oven. A convenient breakfast bar with stools serves as the dining area.
The comfortable living space includes a full-size futon sofa and television, while the studio-style bedroom features a king-size bed, television, closet space, and a nearby private bathroom. The modern bathroom includes a concrete vanity countertop and a spacious tiled walk-in shower. A separate large closet provides additional storage, and a tucked-away washer/dryer adds convenience for longer stays.
Air-conditioning is available throughout the home, but when the tropical breeze calls, simply open the expansive patio doors and let the ocean air flow through.
Your Private Front-Row Seat to the Caribbean
The elevated design of Box House Boca Ciega makes the sea an integral part of the experience. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors connect the interior to the outdoors, allowing the Caribbean landscape to become part of your everyday surroundings.
Step onto the wide, east-facing veranda that stretches across the entire front of the home. It's the perfect place to greet the morning with a cup of coffee, watch the sun rise over the water, or spend a quiet afternoon enjoying the sea breeze.
Whether you're relaxing in the living area, preparing breakfast, or unwinding in the bedroom, the ocean is always close by.
This isn't your typical beachfront rental. It's a thoughtfully designed architectural retreat for travelers who appreciate distinctive spaces, modern comforts, and a spectacular setting.
Make It a Two-Unit Escape with the Casita
Traveling with another couple, friends, or family who would appreciate their own space? Enhance your stay by adding the Box House Boca Ciega Casita, located just behind the main house.
The separate casita accommodates two guests and features:
A comfortable queen-size bed
A kitchen
A private bathroom
Air-conditioning and a ceiling fan
An outdoor deck with seating
The main oceanfront home accommodates two guests, with a full-size sleeper sofa offering additional sleeping flexibility. The casita provides separate accommodations for two more guests, making the combination an appealing option for a small group seeking both togetherness and privacy.
Important booking information: The casita is not included in the main home's standard reservation. It must be booked separately through its own listing. If you'd like to reserve both properties together, please contact us for assistance.

Great place to stay if you’re looking to get away from the crowds. The host was amazing and responsive to our messages during our day. The food in San Pedro is amazing and you can’t get a bad meal on the island! One of our favorite places to eat, ended up being the hula bar, which is less than five minutes away from the house and has amazing chicken tacos!The views from the house are picturesque and you can’t beat them. The pier is private and we enjoyed sun tanning on it during our stay. The only downside is the beach isn’t really conducive to walking as there is quite a bit of seaweed that comes up in that area. Plenty of other beaches on the island to get to easily so it wasn’t an issue for us. We loved taking day trips up to secret beach and enjoying the water on that side of the island. I would recommend flying into Belize and staying there for a couple of days first to do some tours if that’s something that you’re interested in and then taking an inner island flight over to San Pedro for the rest of your stay. The cost to get back-and-forth from Belize to San Pedro can add up for excursions if you don’t do it that way. I would highly recommend getting a golf cart reservation through the property manager as we had issues when we booked through a third-party company and ended up having to get a golf cart through the property manager at the last minute.The property is easy to get in and out of and very comfortable!

Perfect spot to stay and explore the island. Set south of town, this place is the perfect way to have relaxing evenings outside the busier san pedro. Short golf cart ride to anywhere (make sure you rent one, you'll need it). Beautiful property with all the amenities you'd need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Wonderful stpot to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset (in February, anyway). Stop looking and just book this one, you won't regret it!

This is a great place to stay in San Pedro! The house was clean and had some wonderful air conditioning. The host was also very helpful, providing us with many options to improve our experience should we need it.
6 / 10Average·May 2026
We found the Box House very cool and unique. We really liked the layout and it was quite comfortable. We also liked the fact that it was in a quieter area away from town. That being said, there are a few things that should be addressed: 1, when we arrived, we found the grounds and landscaping clean and well maintained. However when we went to walk out to the dock, we found the area between the property and the water line completely filled with trash, and garbage. There was also trash (empty beer and water bottles) at the end of the dock. We were disgusted! I cannot believe a company would feel that it is okay to rent a property in this condition. No other surrounding properties were like this. 2, the photos on Vrbo show two nice Adirondack chairs out at the end of the dock. These did not exist. 3, the photos also show two nice chaise lounge chairs on the sand. These also did not exist. 4, I did see (after the fact) that the dock was public between 6am and 6pm. This proved to be quite an issue as every time we were hoping to use the dock to enjoy the sunset, there was some couple out there having a makeout session. In addition, there were no beach chairs to take out to the dock if we wished to do so. 5, correspondence said that there was a phone to make local calls. After looking everywhere, we could not locate this phone. In the end, it was a bit of a disappointment. The property has so much potential. I hope they can address these issues for future guests.
