Property Description
This GOLD STANDARD elegant, private, serene, and truly beautiful villa is set in a gorgeous tropical garden complete with a large waterfall pool, palapa dock, rooftop deck, outdoor entertainment area all right on the Caribbean Sea. This private, walled estate offers complete security, luxury, and privacy. Yet it is but a short walk (5-8 minutes only) to the centre of Placencia Village with its many artisan shops, fantastic local and international restaurants and fun beach bars. As we offer courtesy pick up service to and from the airport, all day excursion guides offer free pick up for guests staying at the villa, the majority of our guests chose not to rent a vehicle during their stay. A considerable cost saving!
The interior space is the lower level of the Villa and is approximately 2,000 square feet offering beautiful decor and every comfort of home. There are two bedrooms each with a queen sized bed and two large bathrooms. One has a beautiful outdoor shower complete with its own small private garden as well as large walk-in indoor shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a gas range, a large refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser, blender, microwave oven, dishwasher and all other equipment necessary to produce a gourmet meal which can be enjoyed in the dining area which seats six. The lounge area is complete with all you need to enjoy a relaxing evening watching television (flat screen) or listening to music. The entire area is tastefully decorated with local art and crafts and is very well maintained. Of course it has central air conditioning, free wi-fi (Skype quality) and cable television for your comfort and enjoyment.
The garden and pool area is truly beautiful! There are many paths to explore to discover its lush foliage, bountiful flowers, including many orchids, numerous types of palms and flowering shrubs, climbing vines and even fruit trees. When swimming in the large salt water pool, gazing at the sea, the large palms or the hundreds of flowers which surround it, one feels as though they are truly in the Garden of Eden! There are several cushioned lounges, chairs, even a hammock in the pool area where you can choose to rest in either the sun or the shade.
Near the pool area is also a new entertainment area complete with an outdoor kitchen. Beautiful custom made picnic table and wet bar complete with refrigerator and Caribbean style gas/wood/briquet BBQ with a smoker to prepare and enjoy those more casual meals and drinks.
The very large palapa dock is several feet from the shore and is a perfect spot to enjoy the sea breezes and watch the sailboats, visiting yachts, local fishing boats and dolphins from the very comfortable loungers. There is also a rooftop deck area with its 360 degree views of the sea, the canal and the distant mountains. Perfect spot for a sundowner while waiting for the most gorgeous sunsets the Caribbean has to offer!
All this comfort and luxury is an ideal place to spend a relaxing day in your private pool or to come home to after a day on Placencia's white sandy beaches, or on one of the many available day trips, snorkelling, sailing, diving, hiking, or exploring nearby rain forests or the ancient Mayan ruins.
Bring your e-book for reading in your hammock, your hiking shoes for local tours, flip flops for dining out and your sweetheart with or without your best friends for a fantastic, relaxing vacation.

Our vacation at this villa was outstanding. The property is lushly landscaped, the views are spectacular and the house was fully equipped and spotless. Our hosts and caretakers were very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed meeting them. Placencia is fun to explore with its interesting people, beautiful beaches, artisans and food. Highly recommend Placencia as a vacation destination.

The Starfish property underpromises and overdelivers. The landscape is stunning, designed for both relaxation and entertainment, with plenty of seating areas throughout the yard. We spent mornings and evenings on the dock, covered by the palapa during tropical showers, and swimming straight off the ladder where we saw tons of fish, plus a dolphin and even a manatee.The house is in a great location—just a 10–15 minute walk to the village. Even with a car, we often walked to enjoy the views. Inside, it had everything we needed with plenty of space to relax.The owner, Gail, was responsive and informative from the start, and the caretakers, Luisa and her family, live next door and do a fantastic job. Luisa went above and beyond: she picked us up at the airport as a courtesy, offered to take us to the market and pick up our rental car (we declined since the company was already arranging pickup), and even offered a ride back to the airport at the end. On a hot afternoon, they surprised us with fresh coconuts harvested right on the property.We experienced only a couple of brief power outages, but everything was restored quickly. The location is also a huge plus: while Placencia was struggling with sargassum seaweed during our stay, Starfish’s geography meant we could still fully enjoy the water.We will definitely be back—Starfish is the perfect space to unwind, recharge, or even get some work done.

Oasis of relaxation
Fantastic property and hosts! The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. The kitchen is very well appointed, if you like to cook as we do. The grounds, pool and BBQ area are amazing and we put them to full use. Very private and easy walking distance to town. Don't hesitate, book!

Amazing stay
We loved Belize and loved this property. The house, pool, and grounds are amazing. The dock and overwater thatch hut are even better. The property manager Louisa was incredibly helpful and flexible. The hosts were responsive. We loved Placencia, its people, and the food.

Great spot and wonderful hosts
This is a beautiful place to stay in Placencia. Close to everything - restaurants, beach, grocery stores, so no need for a car. The pool and grounds are amazing, and the temperature drops as soon as you walk into the garden!

A perfect getaway!
We absolutely loved our stay at Starfish Villa! The property was just as listed and the photos were accurate but of course didn’t really do it justice. The pool was amazing, the dock with a an authentic palapa was a great hangout, and the rooftop deck was a perfect spot to watch the sunsets. It was a short 10 minute stroll to the village where you can find restaurants, bars, markets, and everything you need. The hosts and caretakers are very helpful and knowledgeable, and are happy to share their recommendations for local outings. We really enjoyed the Monkey River tour with Percy and also having the Thai Massage team come to the villa for spa treatments. I highly recommend Starfish Villa for your next vacation!
