This was by far one of our favorite vacation rentals ever! The house was comfortable, stocked with the essentials, and conveniently located. The pool and hammocks were amazing. We saw so many beautiful birds in the trees by the pool. Terry and her husband were friendly and provided great recommendations. I would definitely stay here again!

Very nice home, conveniently located in San Ignacio. Close to Mayan ruins. The pool was awesome to cool off in. Just as an FYI, the whole house is not air conditioned, just the bedrooms, but they get plenty cool when you keep the doors closed.Terry lives right next door, she is very nice and was super quick to respond to any questions.I'd definitely recommend this rental!

We LOVED our stay at this property! Terry lives right next door and helped us book our transportation from this property to San Ignacio and then back to the airport, even accommodating our driver request (Pedro is the best!). She also provided us with welcome gifts and made the space truly feel like home. There was fresh water in the kitchen and all appliances/cookware/utensils we could possibly need. If you're staying in the area, we would highly recommend choosing Terry's place!

Great location. Cute, clean place with plenty of space. Host is next door but the house is private. Host also runs a local tour company and assisted us with our excursions, which were fantastic, best guides! Host Terry even brought over banana bread freshly baked by her daughter as a welcome gift. The pool was a welcome respite from the late April heat and has a lovely view of the sunset.

When we pulled in, the host, Terry, greeted us with a friendly smile (she lives next door) and made sure our check-in was seamless. She provided some local snacks, fresh water, and was available for any questions. The property was clean and well stocked. It fit our family of 5 well and had an extra bed left over. The pool was clean and refreshing and the deck hammocks enabled great relaxation and bird watching (loved seeing toucans 2x!). As a tour company owner, our host was a great resource for things to do in town and the tour we took with her company was 5-star. Great all around and we would definitely stay here again if we're fortunate enough to visit this beautiful country again.

Terrys place is an amazing place to stay in San Ignacio. We were a family of 7 and had plenty of space for everyone. The pool was great. The house was clean and had everything we needed to cook light meals. Extra snacks were a treat. It’s right up the hill from a couple restaurants and a grocery store. Terry even gave us a ride to the market. Thanks Terry! I would recommend her place to anyone.

The house is at the top of a hill with a good restaurant and a decent supermarket at the bottom. We welcomed the opportunity to get some exercise!

About the host

Hosted by Terry Hales

Host profile image
Hello! I'm Terry, a proud Belizean, born and raised in beautiful San Ignacio, and a mother of three wonderful children. I genuinely love welcoming guests from around the world and helping them discover everything that makes Belize such a special destination.

Together with my husband, John Paul, we own and operate Cayo Inland Expeditions, a licensed and premier tour company specializing in professionally guided tours and private transportation throughout Belize. Sharing our local knowledge and helping visitors create unforgettable experiences is something we truly enjoy, and our guests receive exclusive discounts on our tours and transportation services.

When I'm not hosting, I enjoy traveling, listening to music, dancing, reading, and spending quality time with family and friends. I have a soft spot for Italian cuisine, action movies, and a good love story.

My goal is simple: to make every guest feel at home while providing a comfortable, relaxing place to stay and helping them experience the very best of Belize. Whether you're visiting for adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both, I'm always happy to share local recommendations and insider tips to help make your vacation unforgettable.

My life motto is: "You only live once—make every day count."

Why they chose this property

Terry's Place is located in one of San Ignacio's most desirable and peaceful residential neighborhoods, offering the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Perched on a hillside, the home enjoys refreshing breezes and beautiful views of the Maya Mountains while remaining just a few minutes from the heart of town.

Guests are within easy reach of restaurants, cafés, grocery stores, banks, pharmacies, the vibrant San Ignacio Market, and the historic Cahal Pech Maya Archaeological Reserve. The location also provides quick access to many of Belize's most popular attractions, including Xunantunich, the ATM Cave, Barton Creek Cave, Mountain Pine Ridge, and Caracol.

One of the things our guests appreciate most is the personal service. We live next door, allowing us to warmly welcome guests, accommodate late check-ins when possible, and quickly assist with anything you may need during your stay—while always respecting your privacy. We want every guest to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home from the moment they arrive.

What makes this property unique

What truly sets Terry's Place apart is the combination of comfort, location, and personalized hospitality. Our spacious, well-appointed hillside home is one of the few private vacation homes in the San Ignacio area to offer its own swimming pool, allowing guests to relax in complete privacy after a day of exploring Belize.

Beyond the home itself, we provide an experience that few other hosts can offer. As lifelong Belizeans and owners of Cayo Inland Expeditions, a premier tour company, we can help you plan your vacation with trusted local recommendations, discounted airport transfers, and professionally guided tours to Belize's most spectacular attractions.

Whether you're seeking adventure, family time, or simply a peaceful retreat with beautiful Maya Mountain views, Terry's Place offers the perfect combination of relaxation, convenience, and authentic Belizean hospitality.
