In search of a tropical getaway that will leave you feeling refreshed? Come to this modern, three-bedroom house in San Ignacio, Belize, and enjoy time with up to seven lucky travelers! Located in a central location in south San Ignacio, rainforests, beaches, and Mayan ruins are all within driving distance for easy day trips. The house is in a quiet neighborhood, so you'll always come back to a peaceful scene.
This villa is made up of two parts: a ground-level one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, plus an upper-level two-bedroom section with full kitchen and living spaces. Both parts are private and have everything you'll need, and are a fantastic way for everyone to stay close while still maintaining some privacy. The house offers a comfortable atmosphere with spacious rooms and warm wood accents. Gather in the main room and sit on a variety of furniture, drink coffee at a table for four, or watch a VHS from the collection on the flatscreen TV (cable and WiFi included). A second TV makes sure there's no arguing over what to watch. An open kitchen will have you cooking up delicious meals in no time, with all the essentials you'd find at home (please note there is no dishwasher), plus extras like a mixer and coffeemaker. Four will fit around one table in this room, while four more will fit around the table in another room.
Go outside to get a breath of fresh air on the balcony and marvel at the beautiful countryside. There's a verdant garden, tire swing, and patio furniture to make the most of your time out here. A total of three bedrooms and three full bathrooms (one of each is downstairs in the apartment section) means there is room for seven travelers to stay in this home. Every room features a double bed and A/C, so everyone will be comfortable even in hot weather. Take care of any laundry you have with the private washer/dryer.
This house is perfect for a family or couples who want to see all that Belize has to offer with a convenient location to come back to - go on tours through the rainforest to spot exotic animals, see waterfalls, and visit some extraordinary Mayan ruins. Head into town for delicious food and to see the vibrant culture of Belize for yourself!

Great place to stay in san ignacio
This is a unique setting with two rooms upstairs with the main kitchen and the bedroom downstairs with a mini-kitchen. It is located a few blocks up the hill from Helen’s store, so it was easy to get supplies. Even though it is a bit off of the main roads, the tours we booked had no problem picking us up at our driveway. If you don’t mind a hike, the center of town is walkable from villa maya. Great experience for our family!

Okay not great
good location to town, but the neighborhood was really noisy at nights (the dogs barking woke us up every night several times) and the windows are not made to keep any sound out. The refrigerator was broke for our entire 5 night stay. We had the use of the dorm size fridge from the lower level but that was not sufficient for a family of 6 for 5 nights, in particular over Christmas when markets were closed for 2 days in a row.
We requested assistance on use of the safe and never heard back from the manager for this request, although the first night she did bring extra pillows very quickly.

Villa Maya
Large spacious home. Not as well stocked with cook ware as it could be.
Very rough road leading to home could be harmful to rental car. Shopping and town within walking distance however walk back is all up hill.
Directions to home could be updated as I think the directions we were given were from the old bridge not the new one. It would also be easier to turn left before Helenas Super Market rather than go to the gas station as instructed.
Note there is no dishwasher in the home even though the info supplied stated that there was. we had enough family members to rotate through that chore so no real problem.
A good time was had by all. Everyone we met were extremely friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Home
The house is beautiful with good air conditioning and appliances. It is well located if you have a car (although I think San Ignacio would be difficult to explore well without your own vehicle). This is probably one of the nicest places I have stayed in through VRBO.
Like other reviewers said, it is difficult to find the house - Google maps does pull it up correctly, but you have to go down some rough dirt roads that don't really seem like actual roads. I would highly suggest setting it up so that they can meet you there when you arrive - I think we would have missed the property if she hadn't flagged us down!

Really nice!
This place is nice and comfortable. We had the whole house. I'd probably give the downstairs four stars since the people who stayed in that room said the shower leaked a little, but the upstairs is so nice and didn't have that issue. Many lights had burned out, so it was kind of dark, but that's not a permanent problem that can't be fixed. The manager was very helpful and would have taken care of that if we had called him. They could also send better driving directions when they send the check in information. The beds were comfortable. The air conditioning works well. The laundry is great to have on site.

Nice house good location
Nice house really big, great for our family of 6. Sheldon was awesome and arranged a baby bed for our little one. Neighbors woke us up at 6 am with loud music but was otherwise great! It is difficult to find the first time and all the door locks were a little cumbersome.

Very clean and comfortable home.
I love this home. Communication with the property manager was great. He made sure that every information I would need to find the address right up to explaining everything about the house was available. I used google maps to find my way to the home even though he had offer to provide help if I needed it. Upon arrival, I was able to enter the home from the instructions he provided. Everything was pretty straight forward. The house was clean and fully functional. All linens were provided even extra pillows. I stayed four days and four nights with 3 kids and 2 adults and my entire family loved it. The only reason I didn't give a 5 start really doesn't have anything to do with the house itself. It's just the road leading to the house which was odd. An entrance on the side fence off the main street would be more convenient.

Large home, comfortable and clean. The kitchen was very sparsely equipped.
Bowls, cutting boards, cheese grater, knives. Be sure to check whether it's your day to haul the 55 gallon metal drum outside the locked gate to be picked up
