Villa Merry Gecko -waterfront In Gated Community

Description

Villa Merry Gecko, is a custom high end 2 story villa on the waterfront of the picturesque Placencia lagoon. This home, with 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths, is located in a private very secure gated community. The 24-hour security and guard gate offer safety and privacy.

Merry Gecko is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and managed by a highly respected company that manages four exclusive private island and numerous luxury waterfront villas in Placencia.

Being located on the Placencia lagoon adds a unique touch of beauty and awe to this property. The sunsets over the lagoon and Maya Mountains are spectacular! From your back yard, take the provided kayaks to fish for Snook, Snapper and more in a world class location. If you are not into fishing a sightseeing trip on the kayaks through the mangrove filled lagoon is a great way to spend the day.

With all this you are still just a short walk or even shorter golf cart ride from the amazing beach, pool and other amenities at the Placencia Hotel. This Villa offers the privacy and comfort of your own home along with high-end resort amenities including daily maid service and professional chef to cook your meals 3 days a week right at the villa.

We are located across the street from the Placencia Hotel, and 2 miles north of Maya Beach. The home is uniquely located in upscale area that provides for a very private setting, yet it is close to fine dining and other upscale resorts in an exclusive section of Placencia, just 10 minutes from Placencia Village and airstrip.

At Gecko Vacation Rentals, we are passionate about two things; providing the highest quality services and ensuring our guests have a great vacation & experience in Belize. Our extraordinary property provides a one-of-a-kind setting, but the amenities we provide elevate it to a league of its own. From the personal chef to daily guest laundry, our idea is that our guests should not have to lift a finger. The staff at Villa Merry Gecko will stock the fully equipped kitchen with provisions as requested in advance, so our guests can get into vacation mode right away, with no effort and only the actual cost of the food you have selected.

Welcome Drink

Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia Lagoon on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. It is much smaller, less congested and more laid back than Ambergris Caye / San Pedro. Being on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property. Getting from BZE to the villa is easy with 3 options available.

Option 1 is to take a short ( approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by one of the Gecko Properties staff and taken directly to your villa. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.

Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the villa. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to the villa is around 2.5 hours. The roads are all paved and a good portion of the drive is on the beautiful Hummingbird Highway that goes through the Maya Mountains. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked

Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the villa yourself. There are numerous rental car agencies right across the parking lot from baggage claim including Hertz Avis and Crystal Car Rental a larger local car rental company. You would just need to go online to book and secure a vehicle prior to arrival.
