PRIVATE BEACHFRONT HOME with PRIVATE POOL

As of December 2020 Casa Rana Belize has been one of the few premier rental homes in Belize to receive a Gold Star Accommodation status by the Belize Tourism Board. We are now fully compliant with all the protocols to insure that you have a safe and wonderful time at our home in regards to protecting you from Covid-19. Additionally, the home has been remodeled in 2020. Please come join us at this extraordinary location.
You are invited to discover a true island paradise. Casa Rana is a designer luxury villa that for the last 11 years has catered to more than 250 immensely satisfied guests. It is the perfect place for your Caribbean adventure. Located 20 minutes north of San Pedro in the exclusive Mexico Rocks area you will awaken in your pillow top beds to amazing sunrises. Your choices each day ranges from doing absolutely nothing to fun experiences on the island or the mainland. Accessibility to all activities and restaurants is easy.
Utilizing the principles of Feng Shui, our intention was to build the most beautiful home on the island, a place that would be in harmony with nature, a place of spirituality, and a place where one could nourish the soul. Our guests have confirmed that we accomplished our goal; Casa Rana has become one of the top luxury rental home destination in Belize. Please read the guest comments below; the comments say it all.
Day trips Include snorkeling, visiting Mayan ruins, cave tubing, zip-lining, bird watching, spa treatments, diving, fishing (Wahoo Season now!), kayaking, and much more.
Since 2016 we have been offering in-home dinners served by our caretaker Bea. I personally trained her, as I have done with hundreds of other aspiring chefs. Bea is truly gifted, and she and I have created a menu of Belizean and Caribbean favorites, along with delicious Asian specialties. Our guests tell us we have some of the best food on the island. Don't miss her Key Lime Pie!


The Unique Benefits of this villa: Our home includes spacious rooms and exquisite furnishings, in addition to unobstructed views of the Caribbean. Casa Rana is a living-breathing piece of art, dancing with energy twenty four hours a day. At night the unique lighting transforms the home into another dimension. Bring your family and friends and share with us a most memorable bare foot vacation. Staying in a stunning 3,000 square foot luxury home with its own private beach, plunge pool ( 10' x 14'), and dock, is an extraordinary experience very few people ever get a chance to do.. We now have the largest private palapa on the island. Just observing the water, the sky and the sea will occupy hours of your time. The power of nature is here in its full glory.

Why the Owner Chose San Pedro: Belize is a land of many different cultures living in an unusually harmonious way. English is the official language and the country is governed according to English Law. It is a land of astounding beauty, and one of the last parts of the Caribbean to be fully explored. We were mesmerized with the beauty of the Caribbean water, the sky and the island of Ambergris Caye. This was a place where we knew we wanted to be. Our varied backgrounds includes (among other professions) design and building, and we wanted to build a home that was a 'work of art and spirituality', to be shared with all who chose to visit.

Beautiful Home and Location - wonderful people
This was a very special trip and our first to Belize and staying at Casa Rana made the trip even more incredible. This stay was luxury. The house was beautiful and as described. Everything was in good shape outside the house as well such as furnishings, pool, and dock. The Host Diana communicated every well prior to arrival to make everything smooth and organized. She made arrangements for our airport taxi, golf cart rental, our first few meals at the house, and on site massages. It was a lot of coordination but she was really patient and helpful and put us at ease. The house staff were incredible. Really. Just genuinely good and nice people, but also such hard workers. We ate dinner prepared by Bea 3 nights in the house and each meal was delicious and loved by all. She was in and out of the house quickly for light housekeeping so we never had to work around her and she kept the house looking barely lived in. James made sure the pool and grounds were clean, helped with some post arrival arrangements, and taught us all how to fish off the dock. We all really fell in love with these two. Finally, the island. It was everything we’d hoped for. The people were friendly and welcoming, there was so much to do. Because of where Casa Rana sits and the different activities we had planned, we did have to cart into San Pedro quite a lot, but it really wasn’t bad. The serenity, natural beauty, people, and privacy of our location was well worth it.

Don’t stop Belizing!
Two couples reunited and the breeze felt sooo good. The cleanliness and helpfulness created by Bee and James was seamless. House was as advertised, palapa was perfect. Small plunge pool was clean and refreshing. The breeze off the blue ocean was mesmerizing. Thank you Diana and Richard for your hospitality! See you soon. You best Belize!

A slice of heaven on earth!
Casa Rana was amazing. The house was beautiful and had everything that was needed. The grounds were lovely, and the dock and palapa were amazing. The owners were on site, but did not intrude in any way. The caretaker and his wife (also onsite) were friendly and amazing in every way! From cooking meals for us, to light housekeeping and laundry. They also helped with booking snorkeling trips and onsite massages! James even filled in as a fourth for the boys evening cornhole games! I could have stayed much longer (dang work and lack of adequate funding!). I guarantee you will not be disappointed with your stay here!

Amazing Experience
We stayed at Casa Rana for several days and had a wonderful stay. The house itself is very well taken care of. The grounds are spectacular, right on the water with your own dock to sit on and watch the fish swim right below you. The caretakers here are the real gem, James and Ms. Bea really made our experience. We were able to fish from the dock with James and enjoy wonderful dinners prepared by Ms. Bea. We rented golf carts, but didn't end up using them much, except for a couple trips to the store for provisions. Being able to pre-order groceries really helped us out with not having to go anywhere else. We would happily return for another relaxing vacation.

Loved Casa Rana Belize
This is a stunning house right on the beach at Ambergris Caye, Belize. Well appointed and comfortable with lots of room. The housekeepers, James and Bea, were so helpful and personable and willing to make our stay memorable and fun. We were lucky to have perfect weather and no sargassum. What a vacation spot.

Great Spot
Our stay at Casa Rana was wonderful. It is perfectly kept home inside and out. Its a lovely set up and all the bedrooms are air conditioned. The owner and operator is very helpful in helping set up your trip and plan for events. And the staff is second to none! Having groceries delivered prior to our arrival was key. The road down to San Pedro and around this island is bumpy, so allow plenty of time and patience for getting around. Wonderful dock to hang out on and beautiful clean beach and pool on the property to enjoy. We liked using the two kayaks for going out on our own snorkel trips nearby. Highly recommend this property to you and your family.

I wish I could give 6 stars!!
The home owner, Richard, has created a tropical paradise where everything down to the smallest detail is just perfect. The photos for this home are beautiful but can't capture all the magic. I have been renting from VRBO for 15+ years and this was easily the best rental ever. From the time we arrived until we left, Richard and his staff of groundskeeper, James, and housekeeper, Bea, take care of everything from dinners to golf cart rentals to arranging excursions with the best companies who will pick you up at the end of their private pier. This place is special, look no further for the perfect private getaway.

Casa Rana is THE place to stay on Ambergris Caye!
It was hard to tell/understand before going to San Pedro, but this is definitely the place to stay on the island! It’s about a 20-minute golf cart ride from Secret Beach and only a little farther to the center of town. We did not understand how much we would appreciate being farther from town until we got to Casa Rana. The house had just about everything you need, a beach, a pool, a dock, amazing hosts, and access to bars and restaurants. Moreover, you can leave for snorkeling excursions directly from the dock! You do not have to worry about going all the way into town. The owner, Richard, even arranged for the golf cart we rented to be delivered directly to Casa Rana so that we didn’t need to arrange additional transportation to get to the rental shop.

THE Perfect Vacation
Our family of five stayed at Casa Rana for one week. The house was gorgeous and James & Bea were over the top helpful and informative. We did two excursions and James arranged for us to be picked up at our dock for both of them. Richard had a golf cart delivered to the home to be used for the duration of our stay. We loved carting around the island daily! It couldn’t have been better. And the meal Bea made for us was incredible. Can’t wait to go back!!!
