San Pedro's Hidden Treasure. Walk to Town. Beach, Pool, 18+
An Adults Only Property
Peaceful, secluded with magnificent views of the warm, clear turquoise waters extending out to the Belize Barrier Reef, you’ll discover the true joy of laid-back island life in one of these comfortable beachfront suites. Coral Bay Villas is all about the barefoot Caribbean lifestyle, surrounded by tall coconut trees, gently waving in the breeze over the private beach area, pool and Jacuzzi, this spot is ideal for couples looking for a tranquil paradise escape. We are an adults only property.
Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, south of San Pedro Town, it’s probably one of the most perfectly positioned properties on the island. Just a short stroll or cycle away, you’ll find a supermarket, excellent restaurants, and some great authentically Belizean street food options too. If you are looking for cocktails or a more upmarket restaurant, take a barefoot wander down the beach and check out the nearby resorts and beach bars along the way.
Each comfortable and well-appointed 1 bed/1 bath suites has a private sea view veranda, living and dining area, and enjoy cool comfortable breezes day and night. If you want to do some cooking, you will have a fully equipped kitchen stocked with basic condiments. For your comfort, the bedrooms are air-conditioned and there are ceiling fans throughout. For your enjoyment, there is a TV with over 100 channels and complimentary WiFi.
Housekeeping services are available every third day for a nominal fee of $15.00USD per cleaning if arranged prior to your arrival. Of course, you can request fresh linens at any time, and we provide a generous supply of bath/beach towels.
As you relax into the island vibe, there’s no doubt you’ll want to get out onto the water. Book a fishing trip, go on a sunset cruise, snorkel with sharks and rays or just spend a day sailing from island to island with a sumptuous beach BBQ set up just for you. Scuba enthusiasts can visit the numerous pristine diving sites along the reef, outer atolls, and even experience the famous Blue Hole. While you’re in Belize, don’t miss the chance to have a jungle adventure on the mainland. Float down a river while parrots fly overhead and toucans look down at you from their perches or visit one of the ancient Maya sites, where you can hear the roar of howler monkeys in the distance.
Everyone loves exploring the island on a golf cart, so you’ll want to set a day aside to visit San Pedro Town, experience some local culture, check out the natural beauty on the north of the Caye and, if you want to find Secret Beach, just follow the signs. There’s some great birding to be had along the way.
As soon as you book, we will provide you with our constantly updated Mobile Guest Guide. Our Mobile Guest Guide is loaded with information, including listings for numerous restaurants, bars, and activities. Our Mobile Guest Guide is integrated with GMaps making it easy to find your way around town. Each listing is linked to TripAdvisor; we’ve even linked the menus to many of the restaurants. The Guide is also searchable, so you can easily find the nearest Seafood or even Vegetarian options. We offer full concierge services and can arrange everything for you so that all you need to think about is having fun. So, just let us know, and we’ll book all your tours, in-country flights, and arrange golf cart rentals with no add on booking fees.
If you don’t want to think about shopping, we recommend arranging basic provisioning for your arrival through the Mobile Guest Guide. Your suite will be stocked with drinking water, bath/beach towels, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, shampoo/conditioner, and cleaning supplies. We also provide keyed lock boxes for your valuables.
We follow CDC suggested guidelines and guarantee that there will be a 24-hour space between departures and new arrivals.

This was a great stay. Miriam and Freddy went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. The property is very well maintained and secure. There was a security patrol nightly, and, presumably during the day as well, but we were off on daily excursion so not around to confirm. The only suggestion we might have is to add an air conditioning unit to the living room. Currently, only the bedroom has AC.

Coral Bay was better than it appeared online because of the wonderfully helpful but nonintrusive staff! Also I loved walking just feet from the property to the sea for daily sunrise walks. The small number of units just far enough away from the hustle and bustle made me feel remote, but still connected. We will be back for a longer trip next time, for sure!

We had a lovely stay at Coral Bay Villas. Freddy and office person (sorry we can’t remember your name right now) were so friendly during our check in. Property is fantastic and just as pictured. Comfortable bed. Nice pool, hot tub, and lounge chairs. Nice to have a kitchen and AC. Love the location- easy to get to town but calm setting. Water pressure in shower is low but we were told that’s true everywhere. Construction going on next door to property and we happened to be there on very loud days. This is temporary. We would certainly return.

Regarding the water pressure, you're correct that it tends to be a common issue in the area, and we appreciate your understanding.

We're pleased to inform you that the owner of the new home under construction has moved in, and we expect the construction to be fully completed within a few weeks, which should alleviate any future disturbances.
We're grateful for your willingness to return despite the temporary noise, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Coral Bay Villas for another enjoyable stay, hopefully under quieter and even more pleasant circumstances.

All of the staff were absolutely wonderful and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay - they are definitely what makes Coral Bay Villas so special! We had such a great time and had wonderful neighbours Sarah and Jeff who provided us with lots of great tour and food recommendations ! If you’re planning a trip to San Pedro and want to truly experience the island then this is the only place to stay. Thank you to Simon the property manager who made the booking process very easy and was always available to answer any questions. We enjoyed spending our mornings and evenings sitting out on the patio as it’s such a pretty spot but would suggest more comfortable patio furniture - this isn’t a complaint - just our preference. Thanks so much for everything- we hope to return!

We always enjoy our stay at Coral Bay. Miriam and Freddy were great, always responsive to what we needed. However, the suite had some issues. The refrigerator was not cooling, Freddy was quick to call a repair person, who determined it had to be defrosted. We had already lost some dairy due to the cooling issue. We had to purchase a large ice chest and several bags of ice to keep items cold. A few days into our stay, we noticed water below the water heater. Again Freddy was quick to get someone out, and the water heater had to be replaced which took the better part of a day. The suite could use some updates.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2024
Thank you for your feedback and for always choosing Coral Bay Villas, Gerald. We're glad to hear that Miriam and Freddy were responsive to your needs. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the refrigerator and the water heater. Unfortunately, a prior guest had turned the freezer to a level that caused the cooling line to freeze, combined with the high humidity. We should have caught that and have asked our staff to be more vigilant in checking fridge settings before our guests arrive. The hot water heater was a surprise, as all had been inspected in October; however, we quickly replaced the unit with a new one. We appreciate your patience and understanding and will look into the necessary updates to improve our suites. Thank you for your continued support, and we hope to welcome you back soon.

Another phenomenal stay at Coral Bay Villas. This trip my family was with me. We rented all 6 of the available condos. The balcony of the condo at Coral Bay Villas has become my Happy Place as I watch the changing turquoise colors of The Caribbean with waves breaking over the reef. Coral Bay is far enough away from the noise of town yet a close 15 – 20-minute walk down the beach into the heart of San Pedro. You can walk down the beach to many great restaurants and bars. Or you can rent a golf cart and explore the island. I always rent a golf cart especially to get to Secret Beach.Several members of my family were with me 3 years ago at Coral bay. For others this was their first time on La Isla Bonita. For me personally staying at Coral bay is more like visiting out of town family. Especially the way Elsa, Freddy, and Oscar are always there to make sure our stay is beyond fantastic! Elsa and Freddy go out of their way to make sure your stay at Coral Bay will be something in your book of memories you look back on with smiles for years to come. There are fancier places to stay on San Pedro. There are more expensive places, less expensive places to stay. For me there is only one place to stay. Can’t wait to return and visit with “my Belizean family” again.Ron

Reviewer Comments:
The description for this condo is misleading. There is no sandy beach. It is a rocky shore and access to the water is difficult at best. There was also 25 feet of thick seaweed floating up to the shore making access to the water impossible anyway. Other places had people clearing the seaweed but not at Coral Bay. Finally, power outages were common which meant no air conditioning or cooking. We had 5 in the first 2 days that lasted from 1 to 4 hours and then on the 4th day power was out from 9:30 am to 1 am the next day. When it was working the bedroom was the only room that had A/C. We had to eat most meals out because we never knew if the power would stay on long enough to cook a meal. An expense we didn't plan on having. The locals said power outages are common. They should have a generator like some other places do. The only bright spot was Freddie, the property manager, he tried very hard to be as helpful as possible, i.e. arranged for a golf rental (the main mode of transportation) and other things. All in all, not a good experience and we would not return. We were told the unit we rented had been for sale for a long time, not surprising.

Thank you for your feedback, Albert. We regret that your experience at Coral Bay Villas did not meet your expectations. While power outages have been rare in the past, recent record-high temperatures have unfortunately caused more frequent disruptions. We appreciate your understanding that these outages are beyond our control, but we are pleased to share that a new 2.5 MW generator will be operational on the island by the end of June to help alleviate the issue.
Regarding the beach, Sargassum is a natural occurrence that we actively manage. Freddy cleans the beach of garbage daily, there is nothing he can do about the Sargassum out in the water, the other properties are clearing Sargassum on the beach, not in the water. The current rebuilding process of the beach will soon enhance its appearance. As for the air conditioning, our description states that only the bedrooms are air-conditioned, which is not uncommon for our style of property.
We understand the frustration caused by these unexpected challenges and appreciate your acknowledgment of Freddy’s efforts to assist you during your stay. Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention. We will continue to strive to provide the best possible experience for all our guests.
