BEACH HOUSE WITH KAYAKS, PICTURE POSTCARD BEACH AND HOME COMFORTS!

Warm waters and white sandy beaches will greet you at this private sea front beach home located in the friendly village Maya Beach located on the Placencia Peninsula, Stann Creek District in Southern Belize. Just 6 miles north of Placencia Airport, Jadewinds is within walking distance of great restaurants & dining, beach bars, grocery stores, an art gallery and Belize's only bowling alley.

A nice little retreat
This was a perfect beach house for us. It was spacious and clean and had everything we needed. The location was particularly nice, right on the beach and close to beautiful resorts within walking distance for dinner. The food and service at the restaurants was exceptional, both The Green Parrot and The Maya Beach Hotel and Bistro. The owner and manager response time was excellent both to welcome us upon arrival and to help us when we locked ourselves out. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice property, staff was easy to contact and helpfull tho we didn't need a whole lot of help. Pretty remote which would not be a big deal but most of the roads on the Island are in pretty rough shape. Nice beach and property was in decent shape. Would stay again.

Unbelizable
There are too many good things about this property to type here. The property is exactly as advertised and sets just feet from the sea. Upon arrival Leo picked us up at the airport in placencia, stop by the local grocery for a few necessities( which is literally right across the street from the property, and dropped us off in paradise. We visited in mid November for 12 nights and the area was very peaceful and quiet. We really had the beach and surroundings to ourselves. A few steps out and you are in the sea. Upon arrival Leo had the Air running in the property. We actually turned it off, opened all the windows and enjoyed the cool sea breeze our entire trip. Previous reviews mentioned loud music, ect from the Green Parrot next door. Hmmm we did not experience that. However the entire staff of the Parrot should be the Ambassadors to the area. Licia, Cedric, Matt, Sylvia, Sheldon, Becky, Henry and the rest of the crew became our family next door. What an amazing property paired with amazing locals in the area. Thank you for an unforgettable visit.

Our stay at the Toucan House was everything we wanted it to be and more. The location is amazing if you're looking for peace and quiet. Great restaurant next door, the Green Parrot. There's a store across the street - super convenient. Leo was helpful with everything and anything we needed. Can't wait to go back!

Nice beach spot
We stayed here for a few days on our honeymoon. Loved being right on the beach. They did a great job at trying to keep the beach clean. Having the Green Parrot right beside was great. They have good food and drinks. There is not much in the town of Maya Beach so we did a fair bit of driving to Placencia or Sene Brite for for and such so just be aware of its location. But we had a great time here! Thank you

This was our second stay at this beach house. My husband and I find the location to be ideal. The beach is right there, and we can hear the water from the front porch. We settle in quickly to relaxation mode.

Very nice house right on the beach
I give the property a super rating, with reservations about other things. It's a great house, open, roomy, and solid. Leo was a perfect host. There are restaurants and a grocery store that are easily walkable. This pretty much is all I require on vacation--food nearby and right on the beach! There was a lot of seaweed on the beach on some days, and this is not a resort, so they don't rake the sand every day, etc. It wasn't really a problem; just step over it. One day it was too bad to swim, but it's Mother Nature and just one of those things. Nice beach otherwise and several lounging areas for sun or shade. The whole area is small groups of cabanas and houses, but it was quiet and never a lot of people. My one reservation, and this isn't the house itself, is that the small outdoor bar next door plays music all day long and I prefer quiet, especially in the house. It didn't go late at all, but I might have chosen the other cabin if I had known. Overall it's a great house in a great location!

We really like the property.
We enjoyed our time there. There is a couple of things that I would have changed. The porch swing needs to be replaced. The air conditioner had a hard time keeping up. I would never have said the house was cool. I also dripped condensation on our heads at night, which was a rude awakening. Also we cooked out on the bbq, which was nice but we did not have dishes to serve the 6 people. If the house sleeps 6 there should be service for 6. We would refer this property to others and as a matter of fact, some guy walked up to us on the beach and asked us if we liked it because he had some friends coming that were booked into it. Thanks for sharing.

Great Maya Beach Gem!
Our family of 5 had the pleasure of staying at Caribbean Delight, Toucan House in May 2017. This was our first trip to Belize and we didn't really know what to expect, and I have to say we were very pleased. The house is located between two small resorts, but when we were there we had the beach for the most part completely to ourselves. Isabella and Leo at the Green Parrot next door were very helpful with information and letting us use their volleyball court and dock. You can also rent kayaks, bikes and other toys from them. They also make a great dinner if you don't feel like cooking. The house itself is well appointed, clean and comfortable. Air conditioning was nice and the deck was fantastic. The kitchen is small, relatively well-appointed and very functional. There were some cooking supplies such as salt and pepper, but you can easily augment what's there at the grocery across the street. The neighbourhood is quiet, and you can walk to a number of very good dining options. The only thing that is missing in the neighbourhood is a good fruit/veggie vendor. I would recommend getting a car while you're here. Placencia is about a 15 - 20 minute drive away and you'll want to spend some time there, even just to get some fresh fish and groceries. Lastly, the beach is great!! No big waves or currents (fantastic for little kids). There are some patches of sea grass, but it was still fantastic for swimming. We even saw dolphins in the distance on our first day!! Only downside was the futon wasn't the most comfortable option after a couple days, but the beds were fantastic. My only suggestion would be to have a few beach toys on hand for use by guests and some board games or cards to play after the sun goes down. All in all, I would highly recommend a stay here. If we come back to Belize, we'll definitely return.

Spectacular!
I was pretty certain I was going to love this property so it was hard to imagine that it could exceed my expectations, but it did! It is every bit as gorgeous as it looks and very peaceful and quiet. We drank coffee and watched the sunrise from the beach every morning. And then if we wanted someone to prepare us a delicious breakfast, we walked a few steps to The Green Parrot. We were treated like VIPs by Leo and all the staff. The food at the restaurant was outstanding, but we had our own kitchen in our cabana to utilize as well. It was the perfect combo! We booked our amazing excursions through the Green Parrot as well and I received a glorious massage on our final day there. The massage therapist said we had found the best spot on the peninsula. I could not agree more. I will definitely return to Belize and I will definitely stay in this same cabana again. It was truly the vacation of my dreams. Thank you!
