Great home base

My family and I stayed in this property for a week in June. It was a great spot for a multi generational family vacation. We rented golf carts through the property management and they were gassed up and ready to go when we got there. The kitchen was great to have in the morning to get ready at our own pace. We spent the days out doing snorkeling trips, one I booked by myself and 1 I booked through the property management (this one we were picked up from the property dock). We were convenient to Secret Beach. And wound up spending a day at the truck stop, a food truck park with games and a pool. The living room was a great space for us to crash at night and watch a movie together. The evenings we didnt want to go out for dinner, someone would golf carts down the road to the dancing lobster and grab delicious take out. We used the property kayaks and enjoyed the covered dock.

Amazing! Worth it.

We stayed for 4 nights and had the greatest time. The wind was blowing so Zoby kept checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed, who to talk to regarding excursions, etc. The location is out of the action of downtown, which was perfect for us. A short golf cart ride to shop or do things, but then go back to your secluded paradise.

Terrific seaside home in Belize

Villa Descanso is a wonderful house north of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye. It is one of 6 similar homes clustered around a spectacular swimming pool with great views of the ocean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great restaurants are located nearby, though it's hard to imagine getting around without a golf cart - which the staff was happy to prearrange for us - it was waiting for us upon arrival. The house is not far from the little road that takes one westward over to Secret Beach, which is a must-do at least one day for anyone visiting the island. We did 2 days of scuba diving, 1 day of snorkeling, 1 day of fishing and 2-3 other days of visiting Secret Beach and just enjoying the house and its pool. It was our first trip to Ambergris Caye, and I am glad that we stayed north of San Pedro. The town was a bit crowded and noisy, whereas this house was located in a quiet and tranquil spot. No complaints at all. We enjoyed a terrific stay.

Magical Island Vacation

This home was genuinely the perfect location for our interests on the island. Centrally located near our favorite spots. The house itself was more than enough for our group of seven and truly lovely. The team that worked on property was prompt and kind with all communication, and the pool was great. 10/10 would stay here again.

Relaxing Island Escale

Seascape Villas is wonderful place to stay when visiting San Pedro. It’s quiet and serene a great location not too far from San Pedro Town or Secret Beach. We stayed in Villa Descanso and it was fantastic for our family to all get to stay together. The Villa was beautifully decorated and provided easy access to the pool and the beach. The staff at Seascape Villas, especially Zoby, went above and beyond to make sure we had everything to make our vacation great. Zoby arranged transportation to and from the airport (and other resorts on the island for some in our party), handled golf cart rentals, arranged excursions, and was extremely responsive both before and during our stay.

Family Vacation in Belize

This property was the perfect place for our family vacation in Ambergis Caye. The property have everything we wanted for a quiet family vacation. We were far enough from San Pedro to avoid the traffic and crowds but close enough to enjoy the amenities (bars, restaurants, and shops). A golf cart was a must and it was great to have this arranged by our host. Transportation to and from the airport was also arranged by our host without any issues. When we come back we will definently book this property again.

This resort was a great place to stay for the whole family. It's a nice location, north of the city of San Pedro to where we had privacy but not too far to access by golf cart. There is beautiful decor inside of the villa and only steps away from the beach. I would recommend staying here!

Seascape is in a great location - easy golfcart ride to town and restaurants as well as Secret Beach. We loved it and would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful getaway in Belize

Villa Descanso at Seascape Villas was wonderful! The property was beautiful, clean, and located conveniently between San Pedro and Secret Beach. The owner of the Villa provided great information on things to do locally, and was very communicative throughout the entire process. The property manager and her staff were so helpful and went above and beyond. They took care of booking our flights from Belize City to/from San Pedro, pick-up from/to the airport, booking of golf carts, and booking of any excursions we wanted. They were just as attentive to our needs through our entire 5 nigh stay. The property has it's own dock where boat excursions can pick you up from. The pool became our nightly hang out and is a nice highlight to the property. It was a great spot to recap the day, enjoy a drink, and stargaze. We didn't take advantage of the kayaks, bike, and other recreational items available at the property since we were mostly out and about exploring Belize, but it was nice knowing we had the option I highly recommend this property, and hope to visit again very soon!

Wonderful experience!

This was our first time to Belize and our stay at Villa Descanso was absolutely amazing! The property itself is beautifully maintained with lots of palm trees and lush landscaping. There are 6 properties onsite at Seascape Villas. Our's, Villa Descanso, was perfect for our family of 5. We had everything we needed from beach towels, games, movies and a perfectly stocked kitchen. I should also mention that all of our beds were very comfortable! The most important part of this property is Lupe, the concierge who lives on-site. She is the sweetest, most kind person and is a native Belizean. She knows the in's and out's of the island and will help you with all of your arrangements. We went scuba diving while we there and she put us in touch with the best outfit on the island. There are many to choose from and sometimes that can be very overwhelming. She guided us to the best restaurants and told how to "grocery shop" when we went to town. Grocery shopping is an adventure in itself! Lupe is THE BEST and will make your stay in San Pedro that much better! This is an amazing property and we highly recommend it! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to San Pedro!

Beautiful property, wonderful staff!

We were 4 adults and 4 kids that stayed at this wonderful property for 8 nights. It’s actually a lot nicer and spacious than the pics - cool architecture, great location and wonderful concierge in Lupe and the daily housekeeping staff. The beds were comfy and everything we needed was available; they even provided some basics like eggs and bread so we felt comfortable as got settled in. The location is great - everything is within a short distance and the golf carts they helped us rent were awesome. The property is beautiful, all the appliances and electronics work great and the pool and beach front location is top notch! If you’re looking for a nice spacious home to relax and enjoy your vacation in Belize, book this. And the owner Peter is always available - lots of great info to help get a head start. And anything you need while on the island, Lupe can help with - she’s pretty awesome! Enjoy!

Amazing Vacation Rental! No need to look anywhere else, this is it!

My wife and I, along with another couple, spent 5 nights at the Seascape Villas in San Pedro, Belize. Our overall impression of the property, its management, grounds, etc. is 5 out of 5 stars! The house was even better than the pictures (although the pics were darn nice). The staff was phenomenal and attentive, house was comfortable and clean, pool was amazing and clean, and anything we had questions on were answered quickly. A couple tips if you do go to San Pedro: - RENT a golf cart. Don’t even think about it. Rent one. Lupe and team took care of everything for us and we had a golf cart waiting for us on arrival. By the way, it was an awesome ride! - Go out to eat. As much as we wanted stick around and cook at the villa, we couldn’t resist all of the great local restaurants/bars within a short walk/golf cart ride. - Visit the ‘Secret Beach’ - only 20 mins from this villa (about 45 mins from San Pedro City. Big advantage as you can claim optimal spots prior to the city crowd (still small) coming out there. *Also, grab a beer mid-way there at the local ‘pop up’ bar on the side of the road. - Do the YOLO tour with Dream Escapes. One of the best parts of our trips (Snorkeling, swimming, drinks, sun, etc.) We will definitely find our way back to San Pedro in the future and hope we can book this same place again. Peter and his team are awesome!!

Luxurious spacious villa north of San Pedro

Three couples from Ontario and Michigan shared this wonderful villa for 6 nights in November 2018. Peter was great at answering questions before we finalized our booking. Setting is very peaceful. Very few people around as this was the beginning of the tourist season. Villa is well equipped, daily housekeeping a bonus. Concierge service wonderful. Lupe helped us arrange many activities (including golf cart rental and Tropic Air flights) and Said was helpful around the property with bikes, kayaks etc. We loved the walking along the beach, relaxing on the porch chairs with the view of the ocean, relaxing pool-side and taking a refreshing dip in the pool. Did some scuba and snorkeling trips with guides and took the kayaks out to the reef on a calm day to tie up to a buoy and snorkel on our own. Enjoyed Tipsy Lobster Grill just a few minutes’ walk south of the villa. Rented a 4 person golf cart and went into town almost every day (25 minute trip one way). When we all wanted to go into town some of us took a water taxi ($7 U.S. one way) or land taxi ($30 U.S. one way). Spent one night on the mainland at the Black Orchid on our way to Ambergris and enjoyed some jungle, cavetubing and river boating experiences. Will definitely recommend Villa Descanso to others!

Comfort and relaxation on Ambergris Caye

Lovely property, very well appointed, with great staff on site. Far enough out of town to be quiet, close enough to ride the golf cart downtown. Pool is perfect, and sunrise and sunset can be enjoyed from the deck chairs on the generous covered porch. Great care was taken at every step to accommodate our needs and comfort, and it was greatly appreciated.

Fantastic Villa In Paradise!

Seascape Villas is beyond fantastic. The pictures don't do it justice. It is even more beautiful in person. The grounds and pool are pristine! The villa itself lacks nothing. Everything you might need is there and all of it is of good quality. Furthermore, the onsite concierge, Lupe, is wonderful. Anything you might need or any excursion you might want to do, she will take care of it for you. Our daughter ended up getting an ear infection while we were down there and Lupe was able to get us in to see a doctor right away. She was fantastic! I can truly say that in all the times my family has visited Ambergris Caye this is undoubtedly the most beautiful villa we have experienced.
