Great stay at Pirates!

Really enjoyed our time here. Just out of the way enough to feel like your own private oasis but close enough to everything so running out for anything was a breeze. Maresha was super helpful, on top of making sure our stay was top notch she also hooked us up with a golf cart rental for getting around and helped us arrange a private snorkelling trip. Would definitely stay again.

January in Belize

We were very comfortable. If you're looking for affordability and basic needs met, this is a good choice. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I have long hair so a strong shower is important to me and the water pressure was excellent. Pool was ice cold in Jan but it was nice to look out onto it and the lagoon from the kitchen window. The owners mom works there and is the nicest lady ever. Many precious kudos to her.

Great little apartment.

Nice place with good location. Excellent management. No sign of crocodiles - we were hoping to see one. Plunge pool isn't heated so, a little too cool to use in January. Excellent SCUBA in Ambergris Caye.

Great location and beautiful comfortable unit with private pool. We were provided with free bottled water throughout the stay. The bathroom was well appointed and had everything we could possibly need for our stay including sunscreen and women's toiletries (which I forgot to pack). The owners live in the unit upstairs and they respected our privacy. However, we also appreciated having them there because they were easily reachable for any concerns and they gave awesome recommendations as needed on local hot spots to check out and things to do. They were superhosts that went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. If returning to Belize I would definitely stay here again.

Waterless vacation

Very dark with several structures along the driveway. Situated on a lagoon which has crocodiles.. there are no warning signs posted nor is there any mention in the 3 ring binder compiled my the owner.There were no boundries. The owners mother knocked on the door to either turn off the water or check on the water several times a day

The perfect, just out of the way suite for a solo or couple.

Excellent communication from pre booking questions, check in, very kind host/ess. A small issue was dealt with immediately, nothing that was a big deal, the kind host/ess who was onsite partially during the stay did a quick day 1 check to ensure I had all I needed and everything was ok. The visit was well timed and well executed. This unit is North of the bridge by just a bit, so close to nice coffee shops, meal options and if one wants to get right into town it is very easy. Great shower, comfortable bed, lovely plunge pool, quiet, well designed unit. A great little bird watching locationwith the mangrove and waters edge area. The unit is new, I look forward to seeing the landscaping as it evolves when I return as it seemed to be work in progress. One thing: The unit needs a place to hang clothes, that was the only thing I could have used as I like to hang my clothes when it is very humid.

Great place!

This was a great place to stay -- very quiet, just a 10 minute drive to town and 30 minute golf cart ride to Secret Beach. Was booked with the thought the restaurant out front was still open but sadly that was not the case. Great communication with property manager. Even checked on us in the middle of the week to see if we needed anything.

The location from town was perfect, and the setting was quiet and private. The host was very nice, met with them when we checked in and then they stayed away. Had a problem with the TV and it was fixed right away. We will definitely be staying there again. When you go to San Pedro use Helen's golf carts.

Slice of Paradise

I absolutely loved everything about the villa , the location , the plunge pool ! All of it was fantastic. The bedroom dloes get pretty warm during the heat of the day as the bedroom doesn't have a.c. like the rest of the unit does , but it does have fans. I still think the whole place is phenomenal and the a.c. in the living room and kitchen is excellent. I had a small maintenance request and reached out and it was fully fixed within an hour. The communication and friendliness with everyone on the property was absolutely amazing. The plunge pool is perfect for one or 2 ppl. Belize was my dream trip , and if i ever get the chance to return I will absolutely reserve this villa again. I also noticed since it is a bit more tucked away I could see more stars at night and I had 0 issue with any loudness around me. Thanks to all there for making it an amazing stay !

Great location on Ambergris Caye

Great location, private, easy access to San Pedro without the hustle and bustle of downtown/in town. The only complaint is that it is on its own well water, and the shower/stool/sink water smells of Sulfur. Other than that, it was a great location, we really enjoyed our week’s stay.

We had adequate communication prior to our visit. We were greeted by staff when we arrived and shown the property. Comfortable bed and basic kitchen and bath items. The restaurant on the property was not open but they had another restaurant in a different location (Secret Beach area). Get clear directions if you are headed that way. Private and quiet location was appreciated. The washer was having some issues and we were offered use of the staff washer. No big deal for us-we made it work. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and rainy during our stay. We ended up leaving a couple of days early to find the sunshine in Placencia. We were successful. We did not request or expect a refund of our unused time. After all no one can force the sun to come out. It was our first trip to Belize and chose our accommodations after some research. This location is perfectly fine for a couple. I believe the 2nd and 3rd floors were occupied by the owners brother. The apartment was basically clean, some dust under the bed appeared to have been there a while. Overall a pleasant trip.

Everything we needed close to San Pedro

The villa is the ground floor of a 3 level house, and is about 15 min by golf cart from the airport and center of San Pedro. Facing onto the lagoon side of Ambergris Caye, it has an unobstructed view of the water and mangroves. Being on the west side, the small (non-swimmable) beach was unaffected by the unfortunate abundance of summer sargassam plaguing the east side of the Caye. The house has a small pool which we found very useful, and the property is well equipped with necessary items. The owners provide drinking water as needed, and the pool is cleaned daily. The place was perfect for the week that we spent (August) and we were very comfortable.

Excellent location and value

Check-in was a breeze with keys hanging in the door. Janet, Sylvia, Brandon and all the remaining Pirates staff are great. Very friendly and knowledgeable of the Island. Pirates Villa is conveniently located close to San Pedro Town night life and restaurants but outside the "loud zone". Definitely recommend Jason and Marisha's place to solo and couples as well. I will stay here again.

Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay at Pirate Villas. The location was perfect as we could go into town easily or make the short trip to Secret Beach easily. The space was plentiful for the two of us. I especially enjoyed the plunge pool after a long day out exploring. The view of the lagoon was perfect as well! We would definitely stay here again! We were greeted warmly every day by staff attending to the property. And we especially liked that we’re were not in a resort and got more of the true feel of being on Ambergris Caye.

Taken for our money and no refund!?!?!

ABSOLUTELY AWFUL! The place was filthy! The bed was not even made, there were dirty dishes in the sink and the guy who owns it never even came downstairs to greet us even after his disabled brother who apparently lives on the middle floor yelled up to him that his renters were there. The listing also boasts of a restaurant & bar on site which are and have been closed down for quite some time and the guy makes no apologies for this! We want a refund… we did not even stay there because we were not going to sleep in a dirty bed or wash someone else’s dishes on our vacation… my anniversary vacation at that! We had zero communication with the owner other than asking for the final payment leading up to the scheduled and paid for in full stay in a 3rd world country and this person should not be allowed to rent their properties o.n this platform!

About the host

Hosted by Maresha Reid

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Tres Cocos is Unbelizeable. It is one of the most exclusive areas on Ambergris Caye. It is a short walk to San Pedro Town as well as many restaurant, bars and markets. Belize is the only English speaking Country in Central America, which make it great when communicating with the locals. The 2nd largest barrier reef in the world is located 1/2 mile off the coast of Ambergris Caye. The people on the island are very friendly and helpful. Belize has lots of activities and adventures to experience.

What makes this property unique

The villa is nestled in the perfect location on the island, away from the bustling town yet close enough to most entertainment in the well sought after Tres Cocos Area. A 10 mins golf cart ride to the center of town. Our rental space is waterfront, lagoon side, perfect for Sunset Views and enjoying nature whilst birdwatching, colorful large resident iguanas playing and feeding. Owner/Manager lives on property but it's still a very private rental experience as they are usually occupied. Enjoy, leisure fishing for mangrove snappers etc right off the property... it's also a known area for professional fly fishing. Aside from the usual maintenance staff, you get to enjoy the lagoon area to yourself. Amazing restaurants, bars such as Crocs Sports Bar, Pur Restaurant, The Doghouse, Rumdog, 303 Belize etc.. and grocery stores are within walking distance but renting a golf cart is highly recommended for general island exploring and errands. Nearest Dive Shop is a block away but most companies can pick you up from the dock located directly across the street on the oceans side, a 600ft walking distancing. We hope to come enjoy your vacation with us.
