Mae is a wonderful host, and the place is incredible. Sitting in the porch with morning coffee or evening drinks, listening to the small waves and chatting with the passersby on the sidewalk, nothing could have been better.

Perfect location everything was within walking distance. Placencia is an interesting and friendly village. The only downside was was the heat and sargasum seaweed blocking the beaches.

Such a great place!

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.

Placencia is a great village with very friendly people.

This is one of the best properties I have stayed in. Communication with Mae was excellent. The information she sent us was absolutely fantastic. I can't say enough about the ease of communicating and the amenities of the property. So close to the beach and you can walk to everything you need. A very great experience.

Great stay

We had a great week at the Alaska Reprieve. Everything was as shown, no surprises , very clean , close to beach club which is awesome and just a bit further to the bars and restaurants, which is actually maybe a good thing. Very quick responses from owner. I sure wish Placencia was easier to get to from Western Canada. Maybe some day.

Comfortable, quiet, well equipped, great location.

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.😀

Bill and Jean’s Placencia Getaway.

The property is modern, clean and wonderfully appointed. It has everything you need for any type of getaway. Right on the famous sidewalk it is steps from the beach and the Placencia Beach Club (membership included with your rental). The Beach Club facilities and staff were wonderful and became an almost daily stop for us. Morning coffee on the veranda and the beach access provided spectacular sunrise views. The owners Mae and Phil were on the property (upper studio) during our stay and were wonderful hosts. Placencia is our “happy place” and we would definitely return and stay at Alaska Reprieve!

Relaxing getaway

I stayed in lower apartment with friends who rented the upper apartment. The home was very well constructed and we weathered rain and wind storms very well. Kitchen facilited were well kitted but my friends upstairs did most of the cooking. But everything was comfortable and cozy. Loved sitting on front porch greeting people as they passed and watching birdlife.

Our Home In Placencia!!!

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!!!).

Amazing Location and accommodations

Phil and Mae have a gem of a property. Location was perfect on the northend famous sidewalk. It was a short walk to the beautiful village of Placencia. Our unit had everything we needed to feel at home. Clean would be an understatement. The house more than met our needs however Phil and Mae exceeded our expectations. We have been a vrbo customer for years and can honestly say that Mae and Phil were the most amazing hosts we have ever met. Can not say enough good things about our two weeks in Placencia and the setting Mae and Phil have created for their guests. We will be back. Thank you for making our memories so brilliant and unforgettable.

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!

A Placencia 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....

We stayed in ground floor unit which was perfectly outfitted for our 16 day stay. We appreciated the convenient location to the Beach Club, grocery store, pharmacy, and bank. Enjoyed walking to many places with great food. Ocean beach right around corner from the front porch. We did rent a golf cart one day to explore the northern peninsula. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic place to experience Placencia Village

From the first contact to the last goodbye, the hosts were absolutely THE best hosts we have ever had and we’ve stayed at a lot of great VRBOs! The studio is very comfortable, well thought out, exceptionally cute (and I’m picky as hell) and has everything you need. We stayed a month and could have stayed longer! Thank you!

Beautiful spot in paradise

Well stocked and nicely appointed. Right on The Sidewalk. We walked out trails off daily but it was worth is. The is construction going on but it's tolerable. Feet from the ocean and close to the Beach Club if you prefer a pool. I would definitely book this place again!

Spring break ‘22

My wife and I stayed at the Alaska Reprieve the first week of April and had a fantastic trip. The location, size and amenities of the Alaska Reprieve were top notch. Local tour operators know its location so no issues being picked up for side trips. Simply a great place to stay and we’ll book it again for our next trip to Placencia.

Perfect stay in Placencia

What a fabulous place in Placencia! We stayed a week and enjoyed every minute of our time there. The house was super clean, nicely furnished, located in a wonderful area and the communication with Mae was phenomenal. She sent so much information prior to our trip which really helped, as this was our first time to Belize. The ability to spend time at the Placencia Beach Club was awesome also! I can’t say enough about this place. I highly recommend to anyone traveling to the area!!
