About this villa rental

South Gull Villa is a lovely coastal Craftsman-style home, newly completed in 2021, that beautifully captures the essence of beachfront living. This two-story gem features 5 spacious bedrooms and 4.5 baths, along with a large pool and expansive outdoor living area, all set against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea on the picturesque Placencia Peninsula.

Outdoor living takes center stage at South Gull Villa. Designed to capitalize on the private ocean views and pleasant tropical temperatures, the focal point of this property is the spacious patio and pool deck. Featuring a large outdoor kitchen and comfortable, covered seating area, it is the ideal spot for alfresco dining and entertaining the friends and family. The large swimming pool enjoys unobstructed sunshine much of the day and is mere steps away from the sea. The villa’s interior is perfect for large families or groups of friends to share with enough space for everyone to feel at home. The charming design elements, including exposed beam ceilings and rich wood accents, enhance the villa's warm, inviting atmosphere.

This home offers the privacy and comfort of a personal retreat, complemented by high-end resort amenities. With dedicated on-site caretakers who live in their separate quarters on the property, you will enjoy daily maid service, impeccably kept grounds, and a professional chef available to prepare meals three times a week, allowing you to indulge without any hassle. Fully air-conditioned and equipped with high-end appliances, South Gull Villa provides all the modern comforts you’d expect from a custom-built home. Spend your days relaxing in a hammock, lounging by the pool with a refreshing drink, or exploring the ocean on one of the provided paddle boards or kayaks.

Situated along a quiet and secluded stretch of the northern end of the peninsula, the villa offers a serene beach setting while being just minutes away from fine dining and luxury resorts. It’s a quick 10-minute ride to Maya Beach and only 25 minutes to Placencia Village, accessible via the included 6-seat gas golf cart.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye/San Pedro. Being inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!

**GETTING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO THE PROPERTY**
All international flights into and out of Belize are serviced through the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), located northwest of Belize City. Your concierge will assist with the first options to arrange domestic transportation from BZE to Placencia:
- Travel by plane on a local commuter flight from the airport (BZE) to the Placencia Airstrip (PLJ). Flight time is approximately 30 minutes. Once in Placencia, our staff will pick you up and take you to the villa. Our concierge will work with you to book the local flights as soon as you have your international flights ready.
- Travel by private shuttle van from BZE, where the driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive time is approximately 2 hours. You’ll be taken directly to the villa. Our concierge will work with you to book the shuttle van as soon as you have your international flights ready.
- Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the condo yourself. There are numerous rental car agencies right across the parking lot from baggage claim including Hertz Avis and Crystal Car Rental a larger local car rental company. You would just need to go online to book and secure a vehicle prior to arrival.

    My family of four along with 3 of our friends and my mother-in-law (3 kids in total) stayed at South Gull the last week of October. The property had plenty of space for all of us to spread out without feeling like we were in one another's space. We all loved going for a morning paddle on the provided kayaks and paddle boards followed by lots of beach and pool time. The bags set + bocce were great adds along with reading/relaxation time in the perfectly placed hammock. Getting in to town was a little bit of a journey (30+) minutes which was concerning at first, but travel on the golf cart was fun and made the trip fly by each time. All the staff (chef, housekeeper, groundskeeper) were extremely helpful and diligent and also good at carrying out their detailed work in a very noninvasive way and all were very friendly. All of the chef prepared meals were outstanding and chef was very flexible and accommodating in terms of desired meal times and even made some last minute adjustments due to a scheduling issue on our end. Celebrating Halloween in town was so much fun for all of us as were all of our excursions, but there is also no need to leave the property for days at a time if you didn't want to.

    Our group of seven friends recently returned from an amazing week at South Gull. The house is beautiful and we enjoyed floating in the pool overlooking the ocean. Carlos did an amazing job manicuring the beach making it easy to use and walk right in the ocean. Our chef meals were all great and we were spoiled by the ease of using our concierge to plan activities and provisions. Melanie kept the house spotless. We would love to stay again.

    From the moment we arrived at the South Gull property we were in awe. The home was not only beautiful but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate any needs our group had. The golf cart was perfect as we were able to go into town and visit different resorts, as well as find more Gecko Properties! We will definitely be coming back. BTW ask for Marvin, the cook, he is AMAZING!!

    South Gull Villa was above and beyond the most epic vacation spot we could have ever imagined! The house was even better than the pictures. It is spacious and had a perfect layout for four families. The location was private and safe. You are close enough to bars and restaurants but far enough from the crowds. The pool, the beach, the amenities are all perfect- even down to the flamingo floaty. Even better than the location and house are the incredible staff. Chef Damien blew our minds with his meals! We wish we would have had him come more than the 3 days. This is the best service we have ever experienced on a vacation! The cleaning staff and grounds crew were beyond helpful and did an amazing job. The house was spotless and our beach was raked every morning. Our concierge was helpful and responsive throughout our planning process. Even our van drivers were the best! I can’t say enough about this amazing location and experience. We will book this again!

    We had such an amazing visit to the South Gull house. Property is beautiful and feels very private. The pool was incredible and our kids were in it from sunrise to sunset. We had a great time using the paddleboards and snorkeling right from the house. The grocery store is about 25 minutes away so having the in house chef was such a helpful amenity. Carlos and melanie were so great at keeping the place clean during the week and we greatly appreciated Erica's help with booking our boat tour.
