About this house rental
** Placencia, Belize is your ideal location! Our villa is a private property located in a quiet fishing village to seclude yourself away from others. You can distance your family and friends between reefs and rainforest in a little piece of paradise. We have our own dedicated onsite staff, properly trained to thoroughly clean the properties from top to bottom. In addition to our daily cleaning we have taken extra measures to clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in common areas (e.g. tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, phones, remote controls, handles, desks, toilets, sinks). **
Villa Groovy Gecko is a magnificent, large, very open, two story private waterfront beach house located directly on the Caribbean Sea in Placencia, Belize. Large infinity pool on beach, with outdoor covered area.
Home is built to enjoy the ocean front breezes and fresh air. Downstairs the large open air courtyard is complete with full outdoor kitchen and bar entertainment area.
Outstanding features radiate luxury and beauty throughout this exquisite 5 Bedroom, 5.5 Bath residence.
The home is meticulously maintained by full time onsite staff and very active owner.
The main home is two stories consisting of over 3,500 sq ft of living area and covered patios directly over looking a private beach and the ocean.
Upstairs in the home you will find the master bedroom with a large master bath and breathtaking views of the ocean. Upstairs also includes a second bedroom with a private bathroom, a large living room, dinning room, large well equipped open kitchen and a massive covered patio that goes across the entire back of the home overlooking the ocean.
The three remaining bedrooms are located on the first floor, each with its own private bath.
While the home is specifically designed to take advantage of the trade winds coming off the ocean the home is equipped with the latest high end ECO FRIENDLY SOLAR PANEL assisted A/C systems that not only are the quietest available anywhere but also VERY energy efficient.
Cook dinner on either the large outside gas grill or the Green Egg charcoal grill and enjoy a local drink while relaxing under the fans on the large covered patios just steps from the ocean.
We are located just 1 mile south from the Placencia Hotel and 1 mile north of Maya Beach. The home is uniquely located in upscale area that provides for a very private beach setting, yet it is close to fine dining and other upscale resorts in an exclusive section of Placencia, just 10 minutes from Placencia Village and air strip.

This process and experience was fantastic from beginning to end. The only bad part was that we had to leave. The owner was an excellent communicator and had us prepared to arrive and the staff on site was amazing. We hope to be able go back to this property in the future.

Enjoyed the overall layout and accommodations; enjoyed by the entire family. Kitchen appliances (dishwasher and stove) need a little updating. One bedroom shower had troubles draining.

Beautiful home and located right on the beach. Home was exactly as described and in the photos, and was immaculately maintained. Plenty of toys on the beach - kayaks and paddle boards which are shared by the three homes all next to each other, also had cornhole boards as well. Upon request we were also able to obtain bikes and basic snorkel equipment. Lots of nice outdoor seating, including hammocks. The team that handled the property were all wonderful - the property manager, chef, cleaning staff, and outdoor maintenance staff were all so kind and hardworking and took incredible care of the property. Would definitely stay here again.

From the moment we arrived til the moment we drove out of the gate, Mabel and staff saw to our every need! Special shout out to Manuel for the delicious meals that he prepared. Also to the maintenance guys for removing the seaweed from the beach for our event photo shoot! This is a wonderful property in a great location with the absolute best staff! Our stay could not have been better!!
