Guest Review: “We had an absolutely wonderful vacation at this condo. It is right on the ocean with a beautiful pool and beach. The caretaker, Chapin, works nonstop to make sure that the property is immaculate, and that each renter or owner is well cared for. Debbie was extremely helpful prior to and during our two week stay. She provided many ideas about grocery shopping and great restaurants. She made arrangements for our airport transfer and golf cart. The condo is in a perfect location 2.5 miles south of town with easy access to amenities, with a peaceful environment. We will definitely return and encourage others to stay here to explore the beauty of Ambergris Caye.” – Barbara
