Perfect accommodations

Everything was perfect when we arrived, and its proximity to the village was convenient. If we’re ever in need of a large place to stay that can accommodate two families we’d book again without hesitation. Thanks so much, it was simply perfect:)

Best Family Visit (Thanks Nick!)

What an amazing stay we had. The two homes were perfect for my family of five in one and my sister and parents in the other. The pool was a delight and we used it constantly. We also took advantage of having the beach right there. The location is near enough to the village to get there easily (we rented golf carts, though you could also walk) yet far enough away to feel like we had our own private paradise. The hedges provide an added layer of privacy and distance from the outside world. The caretaker, Nick, was the highlight of the trip. He was consistently helpful, while giving us our space, and he does an amazing job caring for the grounds and homes.

Great Stay

We really enjoyed our stay at this perfectly located, comfy, clean, safe home. Nick, property manager, was very friendly and always available to help. The pool was bigger than it seemed in the pictures and house located right on beach (just down the stairs from the pool and through the hedge). We did bring floats for the pool which came in handy for the depth. It was about a 15 min walk to reach the center of Placencia sidewalk but due to heat we decided on golf carts which gave us a little more freedom for our multiple trips for grocery store, dinner or fun. Owner also very helpful in answering questions and providing helpful lists of to-dos. Don’t ignore her suggestion of booking tour with Grayson… he was amazing, too! Over all great stay and all of us, ages 16-75, enjoyed it!!

Beachfront paradise

Our group of 8 adults found paradise at this rental. The two houses are nearly identical, very clean and comfortable. Great showers, plenty of bath and pool towels to go around. Having a washer/dryer with detergent was very convenient. The pool was much bigger in person than appears in the photos and the beach is just on the other side of the hedge. A very walkable beach that can take you around into Placencia and it's restaurants. Their property manager Nick is a wonderful man and was great to interact with and was always there for whatever we needed. We look forward to a return visit!

Paradise in Placencia

The houses, beds, kitchen set up were all quite excellent. The grounds and pool are perfectly lovely. We had a car but definitely did not need one. Super walkable and a wonderful area to explore. The restaurants, bars and food did no disappoint. And Nick is excellent with whatever you need and does a marvelous job keeping the property in tip top shape. We loved it! And highly recommend this booking.

Perfect family getaway

This house(s) were great for our family group of 8 adults. We chose it because we really wanted a house which was a beachfront property with a pool and also walking distance to town. Everything felt clean and comfortable. The property manager Nick was beyond helpful and the host Ann, was always willing also to share information. We had an amazing stay.

Magical Place

Aurora Beach was the perfect spot for our large family (my family of 5, my sister and my parents). The location was ideal...outside the center of the village, but only a couple hundred yards from the Placencia sidewalk. The entire property, including pool area, is pristine, with literally not one stone out of place. The houses are spotless and have everything you need. Most importantly, there is Nick, always there keeping a watchful eye, and quick to give advice and assist planning any activities. Take Nick's recommendations for everything. Can't wait to go back!

Aurora Beach, Tower & Ginger Houses were clean and the property was beautifully groomed.

WOW! What an amazing place. We enjoyed our stay so much! We would rent again in a heartbeat. It fit our group of 9 (6 adults and , 3 children) perfectly. The houses were very clean and had everything we needed and more. The kitchens had pots, pans, baking pans, stock pots, cutting boards, basically everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The houses even had beach/pool towels for guest use. The bathrooms were clean and there were hair dryers in each full bath. The city water went off a couple times but that didn't slow us down much. We let the AMAZING, caretaker, Nick know and he took care of it as soon as possible, and the water was back on in hardly no time at all. The pool, was SO wonderful and used EVERYDAY, sometimes all day! We did a couple excursions but could have just stayed at the property all week and still had a wonderful time. We were gone all day on an excursion to Ranguana Caye on our cleaning day and decided to have Vilma cook an evening meal for us. DELICIOUS!! It was SO YUMMY! The mom's of our group were a bit concerned about being so close to the main road and having to deal with getting in & out of the gate at first. We were quickly put at ease and learned to appreciated the gate and knowing Nick, if not on property, was only a phone call away. We have stayed at one other place in Placencia that was comparable but even so Aurora Beach was a step above due to the caretakers Nick & Vilma. Thank you Ann Trudeau for having your family's property for the enjoyment of others. We will certainly be keeping this as a favorite.

The property and homes are amazing!

We loved all of the details, amenities and the grounds are very well thought out and maintained. The home furnishings and decor are perfectly done. You are able to stroll from the living area, on to the patio, to the pool and on to the beach at your leisure. The large side lot also provides a nice opportunity to explore for Iguanas, Birds and other wildlife under a canopy of trees. Nick does a great job of maintaining the grounds, is mindful of security and providing helpful assistance and information for guests. If only he could do something about the sand fleas. :) Some of our guests were more susceptible to the little buggers bites than others. Yes, they can be a nuisance. You will definitely enjoy the location, as it is just a 5 to 10 minute stroll down the white sandy beach to Placencia's many shops and eateries. The property owner Ann is also most helpful providing excellent information and timely responses. Our family was in Belize to celebrate my Mom's 70th Birthday Party. As you can tell, we had a wonderful time.
