Perched just a stone's throw from the gorgeous Caribbean Sea, this ultra-modern and luxurious rental in the upscale Swan Villas may be the vacation destination of your dreams! This recently built villa features stunning ocean views, access to the community's pool and other amenities, and enough space for up to four guests, so get ready for the trip of a lifetime to beautiful Belize!

Located just 75 yards from the sea, this home is nestled in the Swan Villas, a brand-new development on the Placencia Peninsula. When you stay here you will enjoy a peaceful, beachfront location while still being a short drive from nearby cities.

As you walk up to your temporary home, you will be awed by the unique appearance of this development. With an extremely modern style, plenty of luxurious touches, and a design scheme featuring relaxing circular shapes, you will feel right at home in this wonderful property. This particular condo is a ground-floor unit, so you can step right inside to discover the gorgeous interior.

Please note that this particular listing is for the entire bottom floor of this two-level villa. If you need lots of space, you can even book the entire three-unit villa, which can sleep up to eight guests.

Inside this two-bedroom, two-bathroom home you will find everything you need to have a spectacular stay. This U-shaped building features private bedrooms at either end of the structure, with a living space in the middle. Have a seat on the large, curved sofa and watch some TV or simply gaze outside at the lovely scenery. When you're here you will have WiFi access so you can keep in touch with your friends and family back home. This condo even has air-conditioning to keep you cool, plus a laundry room that will come in handy during extended stays.

A full kitchen is well-appointed with stainless steel appliances and everything the chef in your group may need to whip up tasty meals during your visit. Sit down at the dining room table to enjoy a meal together, or take your after-dinner glass of wine outside to the shaded porch and marvel at the views of the lagoon and the pool while breathing in the fresh, tropical air.

If you walk to either end of this home, you will find bedrooms with an enormous, round-shaped king bed and a stylish decor scheme. Each bedroom has its own private bathroom, complete with a separate walk-in shower and a marvelous jetted bathtub. Both the tub and shower are also circular to match the overall design of this trendy home. Together with these two bedrooms, this condo has plenty of space for up to four guests.

While you're here at the Swan Villas, you will have access to many wonderful shared amenities. A gorgeous infinity-edge pool is just past your door, and the lagoon is a very short walk away. You're welcome to borrow kayaks and bicycles to explore the nearby nature, and you will also have access to a gorgeous public beach. Of course, you're also welcome to spend your vacation sipping cold drinks on your private patio or sunbathing on the beach.

If you decide to venture past Swan Villas, you can drive south about 15 minutes to reach the largest town in the area, Placencia Village. Nestled at the very end of the peninsula, this town has a vibrant and laid-back atmosphere and offers many restaurants and shops to keep you busy. Stop in at Brewed Awakenings for a fresh-roasted coffee, or get a tropical fruit smoothie from the oceanfront Shak Beach Cafe. When you get hungry, sit down for a nice meal at one of the restaurants, which include authentic Belizean and Caribbean food at Wendy's or Brenda's, Italian cuisine at La Dolce Vita, and fresh seafood and other fares at Rumfish.

From Placencia, you can rent scuba diving or snorkeling gear to explore the gorgeous, warm water nearby. You could peek under the surface to view the colorful fish, go see the barrier reef, or take a group trip to look for manatees or even a docile whale shark. If you want to head inland to see more of Belize, you will have opportunities to book a guided tour to hike through the lush jungle, visit wildlife preserves where jaguars and tapirs live, check out some ancient Mayan ruins, go whitewater rafting, and much more, so be ready for adventures!

Whether you're looking forward to relaxing in the pool, visiting nearby towns, or trekking across the beautiful landscape, this lovely Belize vacation rental offers all the comforts of home, luxury amenities, and a fantastic oceanfront location so you can get the most out of your visit!

Communication was horrible
Property is managed by 3rd party that communicates via WhatsApp. No direct line of comms between 3rd party and host. No concession for natural disasters. Wasted close to 4,000 on a trip we were warned off by 3rd party. Uninstalling app

Such a Unique Property
Wonderfully located a close distance to the main town of Placencia. This property was super unique and tucked back far enough you felt like you were super secluded. The accommodations were great and the staff attended to any issue that arose. Make sure to take the hummingbird highway down if you drive from the city. Also, don't forget to stop for tamales at Mrs. Betha's at mile-marker 26 on your way down. A couple of quick notes, you are in a tropical location, so we did have some little ants and other animals make it into the home, but nothing serious unless you hate geckos in the shower! The property is also on the lagoon side, so we were told to stay out of the water there although kayaks were provided as there are crocodiles that tend to live in that water. Super quiet, great pool, close to any needed amenities, and an all-around fantastic time. Highly recommended!

Unsafe
Several hundreds of dollars was taken on the first day from this house from my purse that was in a bedroom. There are 5 doors that will go outside and the bedroom door was unlocked when we checked in (we did not know this). The safe was also strangely not working. Unfortunately, the staff is not to be trusted. The man that sprayed for bugs outside was seen by myself and my daughter checking doors to see if they were unlocked. The property is beautiful but that does not make up for the safety issue.

Wonderful Vacation and Fantastic Support Staff!
I had a wonderful stay with my daughters at Lionfish. The home and the property is everything I hoped it would be. We enjoyed the pool, the view and the jacuzzi. It was great to have a golf cart to visit nearby resorts, restaurants and Placencia Village. The grocery store was nearby and we made lots of trips for supplies to enjoy home cooked meals. Our concierge Veronique and local manager David were great. They were both very responsive and made sure we had everything we need. We were eaten alive by spiders so bring your bug spray! Otherwise, everything was fabulous!

The Lion Fish unit @ Swan Villas is very unique and the pool is great.
We enjoyed our stay at Swan Villas. Swan Villas is relatively close to dining opportunities and on the lagoon side of the peninsula. It is a short walk to the sea side of the peninsula and about a 7 mile drive to the Village of Placencia. We found the architecture of the unit to be very unique and a fun place to stay. The pool is very relaxing overlooking the water of the lagoon and just a few feet from your patio door.

Ideal waterfront accommodation
We had the two-bedroom ground floor unit of this unique waterfront house and couldn't have been more pleased. The Gaudi-inspired architectural design and the perfectly-appointed interior were so special The infinity salt-water pool make this feel more like a resort except with lots o privacy. The Manager met us to get us settled and to shared interesting places and things so the service was great. We loved it.

Swan Villa, Placentia: Belize
Signed up for this on an impulse when I saw the photos. Looked very interesting. Met by the property manager on arrival. She was wonderful, pleasant, helpful and then gone until we needed her. Spectacular setting. If you're a self serve sort of person you'll love this place. If you're looking for an all inclusive go elsewhere. Architecture was wonderful, not a corner in sight. Every bit as good or better than the photos, which is often not the case. Clean, well looked after, everything you could want. Even a washer dryer, which after a day of diving was a real treat. A bit of a drive from Placentia Village, perhaps 20 minutes or so. Probably should have a car. People staying at resorts nearby seemed to rely on taxi's which might be an inconvenience. Only issues that kept this place from being perfect: 1. HomeAway customer support was useless, 3 attempts to resolve a simple issue prior to leaving for Belize and they passed the buck. Try to avoid having anything to do with HomeAway, or at least have very low expectations of them. 2. No hot water on the day we left which was inconvenient and was being resolved as we left. Diving nearby was good (but the reef is suffering), lots of operators to chose from. A good variety of local places to eat and shops to visit. Friendly locals. Give Swan Villas a try, you won't be disappointed!

WOW!
The whole experience from booking to checking out was flawless - easy, great communication. The house is amazing and is exactly what you see in the pictures. The property and surrounding area is stunning, truly a highlight of our 2+ week trip to Belize where we stayed across the country in a variety of accommodation - we didn't want to leave!
