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 is the best VRBO I have ever stayed at! The location is perfect. It’s literally right on the pedestrian sidewalk. All the restaurants were a short walk away. Having access to the Placencia Beach Club pool was an added bonus. It was nice to take a dip in the pool and enjoy the view of the beach from the pool in the afternoons. The cleanliness of the unit was immaculate. I pay attention to cleanliness details, and this unit is by far the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed at. The unit is well stocked and has everything you need, and it’s very nice and comfortable to stay at. The bed was exceptionally comfortable as well. Mae was excellent with communicating throughout the entire process. I highly recommend anyone who is staying in Placencia to rent the Alaska Reprieve. It is a gem!

    This beautiful apartment is 5 STAR all the way including the hosts! A very efficiently built apartment that has all the amenities you could ask for. Complete kitchen with all needed appliances, adequate shelving for storing essentials and clothing. A very comfortable bed, AC with Smart TV for entertainment. To be honest, we spent most of our down time enjoying the large porch with comfortable seatiing and shades to view the ocean. With beach chairs provided we could be at the beach with in steps watching the waves roll in. Being right off the pedestrian sidewalk gives easy access to town. I especially enjoyed using the "floaties" to just float on the water. The hosts are amazing, generous and kind. They went above and beyond to make our visit not just enjoyable but extraordinary! Thank you Mae and Phil for your hospitality! We will return....

    This was our second time to stay at the Alaska Reprieve. We stayed a few years ago. It was just as great and perfect. I highly recommend this place. If we go back to Placencia, we will stay here. Mae and her husband are the best hosts.

    We loved Alaskan Reprieve so much last year that it was easy to decide where to stay this year!!! The location is fantastic (right off the Side Walk), steps from the Caribbean Sea and very near our happy place (The Placencia Beach Club). This property is impeccably maintained, well appointed and comfortable. We got to meet some of the staff. They are hardworking and appreciative of the guests. Mae is a word-class host that responds rapidly and thoughtfully to requests. Treat yourself to a great experience when visiting Placencia (we did!!!).

    We had an awesome and restful time. The Studio was well apportioned and very comfortable for the two of us. The owners, Mae and Phil are super friendly and take great care of the property and made sure we had everything we needed. Almost don’t want to recommend their place for fear that it won’t be available to us next time around. Would definitely request renting again.😀
