Hummingbird House was an excellent home base for our Placencia stay in April of 2026. The house is even more beautiful than the online pics! We had lazy days where we just enjoyed lounging at the house and a few adventure days that make Belize so amazing to visit. The house was perfect!

The caretaker and his family were lovely! The property is beautiful, but could use some deep cleaning (dirty light switches, grimy doors where people’s hands have been). We saw some bugs, which is to be expected in a home that is always open to the outdoors. Amazing location.

Our stay at this stunning waterfront home in Belize was absolutely unforgettable! The house itself is a dream—spacious, beautifully designed, and perfectly situated right on the water with breathtaking views. Every sunset felt like a postcard moment. Thank you for renting it to us Tom! What truly made the experience exceptional was the incredible family who looked after us. They went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and cared for, offering local tips, arranging activities, and making us feel like part of their community. Their warmth and hospitality turned a great vacation into something truly special.If you’re looking for a serene escape with world-class service and genuine Belizean charm, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return!

Edwin and family were very sweet and attentive as needed. Great layout for the house and really enjoyed the large covered outdoor area. The outdoor shower off the master bedroom was thoroughly enjoyed after a long day on and in the water. For those wishing to kick back and relax, Hummingbird is a place you will enjoy just a very short boat ride from Placencia pier.

Magical Trip

This house was just as described. It was beautiful and felt like home! Having no AC was no issue at all. The breeze sweeps through the house and keeps it cool and there are fans in each room. The deck was great. We saw dolphins and manatees. We really enjoyed floating in the water right off the dock and watching the beautiful sun sets. Edwin was a great host but Jaden, his son, was pure magic. He showed us all kinds of sea creatures. Entertained us with stories and we loved every minute of his company. Edwin was always ready and willing to take us anywhere we needed on the boat and gave us great recommendations for excursions. Mael, his partner blessed us with some homemade fry jacks. I’m not sure our trip would have been as fun without Edwin and his beautiful family!WE WILL BE BACK! I urge everyone to give this beautiful property a try.

Wonderful and Relaxing

Place is beautiful and just as advertised, The pictures do not do it justice. I really don’t want to write a review cause we want the place for ourselves. Edwin the care take and boat transportation and family were very responsive and helpful and a great family. We could not have been happier with the house and rental. Tom the owner was responsive to questions. We will definitely be back. View is great. Its quite compared to town or a resort and just overall a very peaceful place. The deck is the shaded all day somewhere as it essentially wraps around the whole house.

Unique island property with beautiful design and gorgeous views

The property caretakers Edwin and Mayely were VERY accommodating as we were dependent on them for the short boat ride across the harbor each day. We enjoyed meeting their children as well. Mayely was fast to grab the luggage and load it herself no matter how much I pleaded to let me lift it. I tried to arrange our cross-water commutes to minimize impact on their own plans. The house is beautiful with great architectural features. If you appreciate quality woodwork, you'll spend time staring at the amazing doors, beams, stairs, trim and furniture. You'll catch many gorgeous sunsets from the huge front balcony, and the canal view is pleasant on the back balcony. The home is spacious with great amenities, and communication from the owner is fast. This was a great launch point for water tours as operators can pick you up at the front dock. Sitting on the dock, we saw an eagle ray, squid, jellyfish, starfish and other sea creatures. Things to be aware of: bugs were minimal for us, but bring repellant. There is no air conditioner, which was clear in the listing, but it can take time to acclimate to the climate. A great breeze flows through the main rooms when the large glass doors are open, but even with multiple fans it can be a bit uncomfortable at night. You cannot throw bathroom tissue in the commode due to a sensitive septic system. We complied, but one person in our party was never quite comfortable with that practice. There are two friendly dogs and a cat on the property.

Unique stay on water

Overall we had a great time and the host was very helpful. We had 6 adults. There were a few factors I would say would have been helpful to know. The secondary bath is very small and has a frameless shower that essentially pours water all over the bathroom and hall. This wasn’t the best situation for adults sharing, but would have been ok for small kids. The walls do not go up to the ceiling so privacy is not great for an adult group. You can hear anyone staying up if you try and go to sleep. The grill was broken so cooking was a bit difficult. Since there is no AC cooking inside was quite warm. The Isle itself is small and if you want to take a walk you cannot because you would be in the neighbors yard. You can paddle around in the water and relax on the patio. The caretakers dogs and son come out to see you whenever you relax on the deck so no privacy there either. Again, this is personal preference! Getting back and forth was mostly convenient. We had to cope with an incoming hurricane and ended up leaving early as they were concerned with what to do with us if there was a power or water issue. The owners did refund us the nights we did not stay which was appreciated as we had to book other hotel inland. The town has a few restaurants and small shops and bars with tropical drinks. We had some 20yos that needed more activity. Its a good house for reading and napping and enjoying the breeze. Definitely book a boat for some on water activity, snorkeling etc.

Better for short term stay vs long term

Communication with the owner was easy, and upon arrival using What's App to contact the caretaker Edwin was equally as easy. We were picked up 10 minutes after arriving at the pier, and check in was straight forward. Everything was explained to us, however, it was at this time when we enquired about the paddle boards, the snorkel gear, and the fishing gear that are listed in the online description, and we were informed that none of that was actually available. There were 2, 2 person kayaks and a single paddle board, all of which, including the paddles were in very used condition. There are 3 dogs and a cat living outside on the property, which was not mentioned in the listing. There were a few occasions where 2 of the dogs would get aggressive with each other when they were around us while we were trying to enjoy being out on the dock. This made several people in our group quite uncomfortable, as they are pitfall type dogs. They would also bark at all hours of the night and day. The house was pretty much as pictured and described in the listing, and the views and location are nice. Being on a very small island, it can feel restrictive if you are staying for longer than a few days, as there is nowhere you can go for a walk if you just want to get outside. We had a few issues with our stay, but Thomas the owner dealt with them satisfactorily.

Nothing Ho-hum About Hummingbird House

From the moment we were greeted at the municipal pier by Edwin & his wife, until we said our goodbyes, our entire stay was wonderful! The house is gorgeous with huge, expansive views, both front and back, of water, boats, and the village. We loved floating, swimming, and paddleboarding off the dock, where we saw tons of ocean life! The entire stay was like a dream, and Edwin & family helped us in every way to enjoy our stay in Placencia.
