This little piece of heaven is located in the perfect spot, not too close to the noise of the bars but very close to everything. Located at the north end of Placencia Village, right on the famous sidewalk, this stunning studio with peek-a-boo sea views through the palms and tropical foliage is contemporary, open, and airy. Plus all of our furniture is built from Belizean hardwoods by local craftsmen.

The plants on the property intensify the pleasure of being in paradise. Hibiscus, orchids, palm trees, limes, mangos, perfume trees, and many others surround the house. This attracts birds and butterflies so nature is all around. Some days the resident iguanas and geckos make an appearance. The garden has a pergola where you can hang out in the hammocks and enjoy your afternoon nap.

This is the perfect place for relaxing or for keeping busy. The options are abundant. Sunbathe, walk on the uncrowded beach, relax on your private veranda, swing in the hammocks, or sign up for excursions. You can enjoy the rich natural resources of Belize including the barrier reef, the tropical rainforests, and the Mayan ruins. This is the place for world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. You will also find manatee watching, hiking, river tubing, or day trips into the jungle and wildlife preserves.

This wonderful studio offers you the opportunity to be lulled to sleep by the ocean sounds and fall in love with this quiet little village!

Plus, we have two studios with identical layouts if you are traveling with another couple or children. Our second-floor listing is property number 2290880. Here is the link: https://www.vrbo.com/2290880?unitId=2856475

This was our first trip with just the two of us, our previous 3 trips to Placencia had been with Family or other couples. So we wanted something really nice, clean, near the beach and the Village. Alaska Reprieve was EVERYTHING we had hoped for! It was amazingly "modern " yet so cozy! Wonderfully appointed with everything we needed and the location was IDEAL! Strategically located at the north end of the Placencia boardwalk, nestled amongst beautiful flowering shrubs and trees with views of the ocean. Sitting on the porch in our big comfy chairs for morning coffee, watching the many birds flutter around was an amazing way to start each day! And we didn't have to rent a car or golf carts ....we could walk or use the bikes (included) to quickly get to the markets or restaurants....pier, etc. You are literally minutes from anything you need.But the best feature of Alaska Reprieve were the hosts Phil and Mae. Such amazing, interesting and kind people. We SO enjoyed our time getting to know them! We never felt like clients...but rather Friends. Although we had been to Placencia 3 times prior... they showed us so many things we had not experienced before and it was just fun to visit with them!(Phil is a regular Belizean "Cliff Clavin!)If you are tired of the salt water, the place comes with a weekly pass to the Placencia Beach Club which has good food, drinks and a nice.pool. a great day to spend at the pool! We will definitely book this again!Best little spot north of the Village! Thanks Mae and Phil...we had a BLAST!
