Casa Corazón - Spacious 6 Bedroom Beachfront Villa

Welcome to Casa Corazón! A 6-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom beachfront villa with private chef included.

Nestled on the tranquil northern coast of the Placencia Peninsula, Casa Corazón is a warm, character-filled retreat that feels like home the moment you walk through the door — just with the Caribbean Sea in your backyard. Filled with authentic Belizean charm, from rich tropical woodwork to a curated collection of Mayan-inspired art, this spacious two-level villa with private casita is purpose-built for large families and groups who want to truly be together. There's room to gather, room to spread out, and a stretch of private beach and pier waiting just steps away. If seclusion, space, and soul are what you're after, Casa Corazón delivers all three.

The heart of the main villa is a soaring open living area with high ceilings, a library nook stocked with books, games, and puzzles, and a massive dining table that seats your entire group. The full kitchen features granite countertops, modern appliances, a large breakfast bar for casual mornings, and a wine fridge to keep your favorite beverages perfectly chilled. Step out back to your private pool deck, where lounge chairs, a covered outdoor dining area, and a gas grill await. Your own stretch of sandy beach leads to a private pier with covered palapa and hammocks — the perfect perch for morning coffee, afternoon naps, or watching the sun dip below the horizon. Two kayaks are available for exploring the calm Caribbean waters at your leisure.

Just steps from the main house, the private casita offers a self-contained sanctuary with a queen bed, full private bathroom, cozy lounge area, and its own kitchenette — ideal for a couple seeking a little extra privacy without being far from the group.

Casa Corazón is approved and licensed by the Belize Tourism Board and managed by Gecko Vacation Rentals.

**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.

Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.

(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.

**CONCIERGE SERVICE**
Concierge service is included with your stay.

**NEARBY RESTAURANTS & ACTIVITIES**
Casa Corazón sits in one of the most peaceful and private stretches of the Placencia Peninsula — which is exactly the point. This is where you come to truly unwind, with nothing but the sound of the waves and the company of your group. The property's private beach, pier, pool, kayaks, and bicycles give you everything you need to fill your days without ever leaving the villa.
When you're ready to venture out, your included golf cart makes it easy. Placencia Village — with its restaurants, bars, shops, yoga studios, and the famous Placencia Sidewalk — is approximately 25 minutes away and well worth the ride. Along the way you'll pass through Maya Beach and Seine Bight, where additional dining and local culture await.

For excursions, your concierge can arrange snorkeling at Silk Caye or Laughing Bird Caye National Park, sportfishing, cave tubing, ziplining, Mayan ruin tours, and more — all departing from Placencia.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is one of the country's most beloved destinations — and for good reason. Situated on a stunning 16-mile-long peninsula flanked by the Caribbean Sea on one side and a serene lagoon on the other, Placencia offers the perfect blend of laid-back Caribbean charm and easy access to adventure. Unlike the busier island destinations to the north, Placencia is relaxed, uncrowded, and refreshingly authentic. From here, you're perfectly positioned to explore ancient Mayan ruins, hidden waterfalls, zip lines, cave tubing, world-class snorkeling, and some of the best sportfishing in Central America. Back on the peninsula, you'll find great restaurants, local shops, beachside 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 arrive and depart through Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) in Belize City. From there, you have three options for getting to Placencia. After confirming your reservation, your Gecko concierge will reach out to help coordinate your preferred transfer.

Option 1 — Flying: A 30-minute domestic flight from BZE to the Placencia airstrip costs $299 USD round trip per person. Your concierge will also arrange pick-up from the Placencia airstrip directly to the property. Our concierge will work with you to book the local flights as soon as you have your international flights ready.

Option 2 — Private Shuttle: A comfortable, direct shuttle from BZE to the property takes just over 2 hours on a fully paved road. Cost is $650 USD round trip (tax included) for up to 3 passengers, plus $60 per additional person round trip (maximum 12 passengers). Our concierge will work with you to book the shuttle van as soon as you have your international flights ready.

Option 3 — Self-Drive: Prefer to explore at your own pace? Rent a car from the agency of your choice at BZE and drive yourself to the property. Be sure to secure your rental online prior to your arrival. Your concierge will provide detailed directions upon booking.
