Rustic Ocean front Home with POOL-115' of beachfront 250 ft Dock- GOLD STANDARD

COMING TO ISLAND
PARADISE POINT is a government approved GOLD STANDARD property.
After arriving in Belize at Goldson Int Airport you will need to take either a flight with Tropic or Mayan Air (25 minutes - $172 US round trip - or Water Taxi - San Pedro Express or Ocean Ferry - 90 minutes $40 US round trip and a $50 cab fare one way to boat dock from Airport. Both modes provide a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea in which you will be enjoying throughout your stay at Paradise Point.

Upon arrival into San Pedro, William, my property manager and native Belizean, will greet you. He will be your point of contact for the duration of your stay and is available to arrange all activities on and off the island. William is a government certified Tour Guide and owns Junglewaterbelize. Prior to your arrival he will have already arranged for you to secure a golf cart ( $35-45 US/day). At that time he will take you for a quick tour through Front, Middle and Back streets to familiarize you with the local restaurants, grocers, doctors office, pharmacies or any other locations you may need during your stay. You will then be on your way South to Paradise Point. Upon your departure he will check your golf cart in for you and help you with your bags to the Airport and any other last minute services your might need. He will also provide you with a "local phone" so you can contact him at any time.

THE SPACE
Paradise Point is located approximately 5 miles South of the Town of San Pedro in Ambergris Caye, Belize. This is one of the safest areas on the island with a privatized, full-time 24/7 patrol and police sub-station. William lives less than an 1/8 of a mile away should you need him 24/7. Houses are sparse South as opposed to very close and congested with zero lot lines up North. That is why I located South. The roads are a reminder of old school Belize island charm. Some paved, some not. My home is located on 115 feet of prime Caribbean beach front with a 250' foot dock and Palapa.

My three story home and viewing decks represent over 3,500 sq ft. My home has expansive decks on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is cable TV with 120 channels and high speed internet and Wifi (fastest on island).

The first floor has an outdoor beach shower/lavatory and washer/dryer set-up. The lower level also has a cozy efficiency consisting of a full kitchen, separate bedroom (twin beds) and full bath. It only has 4 steps to enter so may be used in conjunction with a family who is renting the entire house as a 4 bedroom and one of the members needs easier access. The bottom floor bedroom space does not connect internally to the second floor which is accessed through the second floor outside stairs.

The second floor is the main living area with two bedrooms both with Queen beds and a full bath in between The main living area has a foldout Queen couch and Queen futon in the Great room should an additional sleeping area be needed. The kitchen is fully stocked with every item you will need during your stay. All utensils, plates, glasses, appliances including a fresh water cooler and of course a blender for that "frozen concoction that helps you go on" (JB).
Local craftsman hand made the large mahogany table and chairs that seats 6 along with 3 chair back stools at the bar. I also have a flat screen TV and a multitude of CD movies as well as numerous books and games tucked away should you just want to relax and stay home. Also on second floor there is a 33' by 15' covered porch (almost 500 sq ft) with two hammocks and multiple chairs for viewing the beautiful Caribbean and all of the natural habitat.
The third floor is truly a remarkable space. The only one of its kind on the Southern part of the Island. The Master bedroom is a 29' by 14' - over 400 sq ft. The entire SE wall is nothing but glass for unparalleled spectacular views. Even more amazing and one of a kind on the Island is a 33' by 20' (over 600 sq ft) deck off the Master with a full length native Palapa awning covering a portion of the glass wall (doesn't obstruct view) and allows sufficient shade for viewing the beautiful Caribbean during the heat of the day. The views from this vantage point are spectacular and unmatched. You are elevated over 50' at this point where your Master bedroom is. Simply look out from your hand crafted King size bed and see spectacular morning views. From this view you can also see Shark Ray Alley and Hol Chan Government Marine Reserve. In addition the quaint little island of Caye Caulker is in view and a quick water taxi ride out of San Pedro (highly recommend you visit)
On the third floor you have two additional decks - one off the master and the other in the hallway off stairs - for viewing the natural habitat while drinking your morning beverage of choice. Beautiful white and pink birds are bountiful in the natural habitat behind my home. Not sure of the species maybe flamingos. Also from this area you can see the Marco Gonzales Mayan site. This is a 5 minute walk from Paradise Point. One of the many perks of living down South in the nature preserve.

OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
I like the peace and solitude offered at my beach home and as mentioned the multitude of natural species of animals. Meet Big Buck - Iguana (harmless) on my property. He won't move for you so take note. Every morning you wake up to a multitude of birds beginning their daily flight and adventure. Walk out to the end of dock and see speckled rays, nurse sharks and a vast array of native fish and turtles. Maybe even the beautiful woodpecker who pecked a golf ball size hole in the outside pier post. And if that wasn't enough he/she now raises his future baby "peckers' in the tall post on my dock. There are also a family of Osprey"s that reside on the top of my Palapa and are constantly "fishing" for food off my dock post. They will greet you all hours of the day on your way to the end of the dock as well as a vast array of gulls that are constantly skimming a mere foot at 20 mph above the Caribbean looking for sustenance.

GUEST ACTIVITIES
At Paradise Point there are many activities you can engage in without leaving the premise. I have a newly constructed POOL with expansive deck. At the end of the 250' dock there is a swimming and sunning platform with a covered Palapa area that includes seating, a swing rope chair and lounge chairs. Off the dock you can snorkel; I provide mask, fins and snorkels, or fish (gear provided), float on inner tubes and Kayak (3) or Paddle board (2) to the 2nd largest barrier reef in North America. I provide a 3 - 2 person and a single person kayaks as well as 2 Paddle Boards . Snorkeling to the "mini blue hole" about 40' deep and beaming with sea life is just minutes off the end of the dock at a direction of 11 o'clock. In the sand covered backyard you can make a day of enjoying the various yard activities: badminton, volleyball, frisbee, soccer and football. I also have a charcoal grill should you want to make a real beach barbecue out of your catch of the day.

Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize and is centered around the town of San Pedro. The town is very unique with small shops of every variety selling their natural handmade wares. There are a multitude of first class restaurants offering every meal imaginable - especially seafood; giant lobster and shrimp burritos, succulent pupusa's and shrimp tostadas as well as variations of "chicken and beans and rice". This Island is truly a throwback in time and a real escape from the fast pace hustle bustle of city life. You can go catamaran sailing, enjoy a day at the spa, dive, snorkel, fish etc. Outside the island of Ambergris Caye you can take a trip to the mainland where you can zip Line through the Rain forest, cave tube and visit various Mayan ruins. The Lamani Ruin which is accessible from the Island is an unbelievable experience. As mentioned before, William will arrange all of these island activities effortlessly for you. He is a government certified tour guide and 5 star rated by Trip Advisors.

GETTING AROUND
Okay. Travel. The roads vary in consistency from Cobblestone (in town) to a mixture of hard-packed sand streets - Old Island style roads down to my house. If they have just been graded they are fine, if not, then it can be slightly bumpy. The main mode of transportation is a golf cart which William will arrange for you upon your arrival into San Pedro. It takes about 25 min to town by golf cart, 40 min by bike - William rents bikes very economically - or about an hour walk if your so inclined. There is also cab service at about $40 Us one way. Within walking distance is the the Playa Del Sol restaurant and bar. Excellent live music and food. A mile up the road Stax Sunset Lounge and Cafe is also available as well as two very nice restaurants, The Black Orchid, a high end restaurant and bar and Lone Star a Tex Mex casual restaurant and bar just 2.5 miles from Paradise Point. Also in this same location is a grocery store for all your shopping needs.

OTHER items of Interest: Be sure to take advantage of the "duty free" alcohol ( 4 bottles each). You can get any and all of the brands you would want for about $20 US. It is a lot more expensive to buy on the island.

Awesome Vacation Adventure!
We had an excellent time at this VRBO. We were a group of 7. Staying 14 days. My husband and I stayed in the mini-suite on the ground floor that consists of a kitchenette, bedroom with 2 twin beds, and small bathroom. The second floor has a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The top floor has 1 bedroom and bathroom with the most amazing views! The house and furniture are showing their age, but we were quite comfortable, and the wifi is excellent. It even reached the pool deck so we could stream music. It couldn't reach the ground suite, though, so we watched downloaded movies at night. The yard was beautiful and ocean front bliss! Lots of room to park the 2 golf carts that William arranged for us to rent. The dock and palapa are great for swimming and fishing. We saw small barracudas, rays, and Nurse Sharks (not dangerous to people) in the water off right off the dock. It was amazing! Fishing rods were provided, so we caught red snapper and ocean perch for supper one night. Everyone really enjoyed the pool - it's not huge and only mid waist deep but it's a welcome relief in the hot sun! The deck was great for sun tanning with 2 couchioned loung chairs to use. We used the kayaks to venture out in the water, but it was too windy most days. William, the property manager, was great! He met us at the airport with our rented golf carts to help us with our bags and dropped us off when we left. Communication was fast and easy! Just a great place!

Great spot for big families
We loved our stay here. It’s quiet with an awesome beach front. Big house with room for our whole family including a toddler. The property manager, William is great. We would definitely recommend booking a tour with him. We did a half day snorkeling and it was incredible…nurse sharks, spotted eagle rays, beautiful fish. Would recommend this spot to family and friends.

Mold issues with unbearable Oder in master Bedroom, contacted owner fist day-Ignored messages.
Could be very nice if owner would fix issues. I had to contact Homeaway to get him to reply to me. He ignored us Trying to push blame off on me for not contacting a local person that delivered the golf cart. My wife and I slept on the first floor in separate beds for the whole six nights. Also commented that a quarter size speck of black mold is not an issue. Which it is much larger than a quarter. And one spot the size of a dime can be a health hazard. I Sent two messages to the owner while on property with no response. I would never stay at this property again! Owner had numerous air fresheners hidden throughout the top floor. No other air fresheners in any other part of the house due to trying to cover the problem instead of spending money to fix them. When you first walk into the bedroom smells like a musty basement.

Great place on the South side of San Pedro - good for large groups
Great place on the south side. It's a 4-5 mile golf cart ride into town at about 10mph (all roads are a little rough). Nearest bar and restaurants are within 1-1.5 miles. The house is great, it's really setup for 3 separate sections. Water is WATER collection - but with 5k-10k gallons, we had no problems with a group of 10 people and only moderate rain. Fishing off the dock varies. Small kids will love it if you use live bait and small hooks. You can buy sardines for bait in town, but the best bait (by far) is conch which is found about 2 miles off shore or can be obtained in town if you can find the right person. The "mini blue hole" is a bit of reef / cave system located NE from the dock - it can be seen as a patch of light water. You can easily snorkel or paddle there. Many local fisherman would anchor there and fish - you'll need an anchor or brick if you're going to try it, but this is the best fishing spot near the dock. If you have conch for bait, you'll do great. Fishing patterns change with the time of day and what fish are doing at the time. I was also able to catch bonefish at a nearby public dock - afternoon when the fishing boats come in to clean their catch. The neighborhood has an hourly security patrol, funded by the neighborhood association (you may be asked to donate). We were there for over a week and feedback was that we were on one of the safest places in the island. Recommendations: 1) You'll be given the phone number of the local property manager. On my cell phone, I dial it as a simple 7 digit number with no international or area code. Properly manager found me immediately off the water taxi, but specific arrangements and communication could be better. Golf carts provided were "above average" against local condition. You really can't get around without a golf cart. 2) Ask for the "address" of this property. You'll need it for customs entry. 3) Gary - owner - I communicated with him via VRBO message. Communication was good, if a bit varied in response time. 4) Bring extra towels if you swim a lot. 5) Property manager picked us up brought an extra golf cart to help with our luggage. You can go into town to eat, there are many open BBQs downtown during the day, restaurants vary - so you can generally get what you want. Groceries were expensive and for our our large group, eating out made more sense. Property manager can arrange trips (try a snorkeling/fishing trip) if you need a reference.

Quiet stay on Ambergris Caye
We had a lovely few days at this house on Ambergris Caye. William was very helpful, meeting us at the ferry with our rental golf cart and arranging a snorkeling trip for us. The views from the house are amazing and we all enjoyed relaxing on the dock, watching the pelicans dive for fish and the osprey pair nesting on top of the neighbors palapa. It was easy to take out the kayaks and paddle around a bit, although the days we were there it was very windy so we didn’t go far. The house is a long way from town, but we were looking for someplace quiet and this suited us perfectly. The stars in the night sky were so much brighter than in town. The property has everything one might need and we really enjoyed our stay.

Fantastic Stay
We could not have been happier with our stay. William was very prompt with meeting us at the airport and getting us our golf carts. The house was perfect for our group of 8. A lot of houses advertise as having all of the adequate gear for water activities (masks, fins, kayaks, fishing poles, so on) and this property had plenty of equipment...and it was actually nice. We also really enjoyed the volleyball court. We had one issue with an AC unit and Gary had his electrician on site within an hour, and fixed without any inconvenience to us.

Perfect for our family. William is amazing!
The view! Some of the road was very bumpy. An adventure for young people, a bit hard on the backs of Grandpa and Grandma. Our trip was cut short due to a family emergency back home but otherwise this was a very special family vacation. William was so helpful and a pleasure to work with. The Gallier Family

Very large and comfortable home with fantastic views.
Gary's home was a perfect getaway. Very clean and decorated beautifully. Had plenty of snorkling gear and kayaks. William was available anytime and scheduled all our needs. The golf cart ride to San Pedro was an adventure ( roads are a bit rough) but lots of nature along the way. Didn't mind at all. I would like to thank Gary for sharing his home and answering my numerous questions.

Amazing time!!!!!
We had an amazing time at this property. It was very quiet and secluded. The golf cart ride was fun for most of us (a little harder on the older people). The home is very different. None of the floors connect like a traditional home. This was fine for us. The third floor room has a large comfortable king size bed and a big beautiful bathroom, amazing views from the large deck. The middle floor has two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living room. We loved the deck with the hammocks and spent a lot of time out there. You have to exit the home to go outside to the bottom room. They had some problems with bugs and the bed but overall enjoyed the area. There are window units for AC and the place is kept cool which was also nice. Something we found was a little strange was there was nothing in the kitchen as far as left over spices or oil or any canned food from previous guests. I know that bugs are a problem but we bought multiple spices only to use a tiny bit. We wanted to leave it for the next guest but figured it was probably just going to the cleaning people when we left. Our last home in the jungle had a ton of stuff for us to use. William was very helpful with getting us to the house and booking an amazing excursion for us. Overall we had an amazing time!!!!!

Rustic Caribbean Home was Perfect.
Our first trip to Ambergris Caye was a great adventure. We were on a multi-day scuba-diving trip to the reef. Knowing it's a third+-world country but Ambergris Caye having every type of accommodations you might want, we were wanting a somewhat of an out-of-the-way place, not wanting to be in with the regular tourists, yet we wanted amenities - well, Gary's place was perfect! It was just as advertised. It's almost to the south end of the island, remote for sure, but only a 25 minute golf cart trip into town. We'd pass or try the many and varied eateries and stores en route. Lots of birds, land crabs, iguanas, a scorpion, turtles. (and, of course, rain, as it was the season!) Gary's home had everything we needed (except a safe). The beds were clean and comfy, lots of kitchen utensils and appliances, furniture... all good. Washer/dryer and A/Cs all worked. William, the 'caretaker', responded to several questions we had, brought us more kitchen chairs, helped us figure out how the keys worked. He was available immediately by telephone to answer our questions. He'd met us at the airport, with golf carts. (I'd recommend you opt for newer carts, i.e., newer shocks. Roads outside of San Pedro (brick roads) are sand, lime(stone) & potholed.) William helped us return the carts and transported luggage for us at the end of our stay. A beautiful, quiet, breezy, location for a kind of modern/rustic home.

Awesome! Quaint!!! Breathtaking!!!
When first booking Paradise Point it seemed too good to be true!! An Awesome house with spectacular views at an affordable price!! We were a group of 6 adults and fit comfortably. The top floor master bedroom was just astonishing!! The views were never ending!! The main floor served its purpose where we socialized and planned our days. The Palapa at the end of the dock was a good size and fit us all when we wanted to relax. The house is located 5 miles South of the City which makes it kind of difficult to come and go as you please. The roads from the city to the house are fairly paved but still bumpy. Since water was only available via a rain catch system having to conserve water was something new since we were from the US, but that's just the way of life in Southern San Pedro. We were lucky enough to have some decent rain throughout the week, so we didn't worry about water. One night in particular a thunderstorm did cause a good amount of leaking on the main floor and water entered the top floor from the sliding glass doors. It was nothing a few towels couldn't soak up. Since we were a group of 6 in our late 20's we were up and about throughout the day, but the house had everything needed to rest and relax if that was your choice. The only downfall of our week long vacation was sparse communication with William. When we checked in he gave us a phone to contact him without a charger. So that didn't work to well. I was lucky enough to get a hold of him through email and he had my cell number. We chose to rent 2 golf carts from William instead of going with another agency on the island. One of the golf carts was giving us trouble but after a few exchanged emails the problem was taken care of and we got a new one. Had the phone been working we could have resolved the issue faster. Overall the trip was awesome and the house was just a blast. If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city this is the place to stay. If your looking for an awesome snorkeling tour I recommend YOLO Tours. A good brunch spot we frequently visited was The Baker and Estels by the Sea. Gary and William keep the house in tip top shape. If I had any complaints I would just chalk it up in being in a different country and not accustom to their way of life.

This house is way bigger than it seems! The view is amazing and it wasn't too far from town!
It's always a blast in San Pedro, I would definitely stay here again!

Needs wiring updated
The house was lovely, and while it was a bit secluded, the peace and quiet was excellent. There was an issue with the electricity though. The washer and dryer shut down all the power in the house every time we tried to use them. The water near thee house was beautiful once you get out past the sea grass. There are a ton of fish at the neighbor's palapa. Snorkel on over there! William, the caretaker was very nice.

Satisfied but with a few complaints/suggestions
My family and I enjoyed our stay at Paradise Point. While the location is a 30 minute golf cart ride away, the views from the house and dock are completely worth the ride. San Pedro is truly magical. The house is huge with plenty of room for several people. Gary purchased a second kayak (2 person) and had it delivered during our stay which was a very pleasant surprise! The air conditioning worked surprisingly well and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. With that being said, we do have a few complaints/suggestions. Upon arrival, we noticed a sign on the main floor toilet indicating that you cannot flush toilet paper. The note is dated March 26th, so one would think that over 1 month would be enough time to address that. If you needed to use a toilet that allows the use of toilet paper late at night, you have to disturb the persons sleeping on the top floor or go outside to the lower level. It is not the worst thing but it is inconvenient. Another thing that we noticed was that there are tiny little insects that crawl out from between the tiles on the kitchen counters whenever there was food left or spilled. The tiles seem to be lacking grout which would definitely help keep the insects away. They especially loved the sticky spots left after making margaritas and daquiris in the awesome blender that is provided. In regards to the phone that is provided, it was not functioning during our stay. We were unable to power it on (and no, we aren't idiots). It could possibly have been a broken charger but it wasn't a traditional cable so we couldn't try to charge it using one of ours. We were unpleasantly surprised that there were not nearly as many fish around the dock as we had hoped for. I spent a lot of time snorkeling around the dock and only saw one angel fish and several super tiny fish. However, we snorkeled to the neighbors nearby dock and there were 1,000 big beautiful fish to see! This is most likely due to the many large boulders under their palapa which offer cover for the fish. Also, we would have loved it if there were tables on both patios. One night, we planned to BBQ but there was no charcoal at the house so that was a bummer. We could have bought some beforehand in town had we known. Finally, we found out via posted signs that we had to be very conservative with our water so washing dishes, showering, etc. was a challenge sometimes. All in all, we had a wonderful time staying here and would consider returning.

Picturesque, serene house
I always have doubts about photos that look too good to be true. In fact, it turns out that the property is even better in real life. - Big deck on the second floor and third floors with plenty of chairs and hammocks - Master bedroom is on its own floor (third) and the deck is only partially covered by a thatch roof, so it's perfect for stargazing - The little hut at the end of the dock is simply amazing: It fits 6 or so people comfortably and has a little swing, some reclining chairs, and tubes that you can lie in in the water - The main area is big and breezy, with a comfortable living room - The beds are extremely comfortable Only downsides: - About 20min by golf cart from the town center, so a golf cart is a must. The flip side of this is that the area is *absolutely* quiet and I loved spending the first hours of the morning not listening to another human sound - No actual white-sand beach'. This is probably the only thing that isn't quite apparent in the photos. But this part of the Caye is naturally covered by mangroves, so any beach would have been artificial and in fact Ambergris isn't really a white-sand beach type of place. So can't really fault the house with that The internet is fast enough for basic things like browsing. It'd be unreasonable to expect it to be able to stream Netflix (although you can buffer things if you're patient). So to sum things up: My brothers and I loved our week here. This house was exactly what I wanted in a getaway: Comfortable, in a beautiful setting, not 'complicated' (in the sense that it fits its setting), private, and quiet. If I ever go back to Ambergris, I will stay here again.

Functional but somewhat run down
We had a great time in Belize and the house was adequate for the guests that travelled. Unfortunately the house was not quite what was expected. They advertise beachfront and sand but the water is not accessible via the beach due to the garbage and turtle grass present. The dock was very nice with a small swimming area at the end. The house was run down with leaks into several rooms. I had to move my bed to prevent water from soaking my bed (it was soaked when I arrived). One of the other rooms had the seal around the air conditioner damaged so the whole room smelled moldy. One of the issues is that they caretaker knew about these things but told us he couldn't find the leaks so he didn't worry about it. The caretaker was very hands off, it seemed to us that since we would not rent golf carts from him (at almost 100 USD more than we got them for from a different vendor) that he wrote us off. We were also not told before arriving that the house operates on roof gathered rainwater so we had to be very conservative with our water consumption. The view from the balconies are great it was awesome that there is a small underwater cave only 300 yards out we could swim to and see fish. The reef is several miles out to see (they told us 1/2 mile before our arrival). All in all our trip was fun and the house was nice and private and safe but was not how it was represented for fit and finish. If you just want a nice dock and balcony this place is good. If you want to enjoy some obstruction free sand and a garbage free beach front view you probably want somewhere else. The house and property could be amazing with some investment of time and TLC.

Paradise Point
What a great place to stay! We had an awesome vacation and we're really glad we stayed here. The other half of our group stayed right next door and it worked out perfectly. It is a bit far south from town but most of us did not mind the drive into town.

INCREDIBLE CARIBBEAN TRANQUILITY
I just returned home from a 7 night stay at this property and I must say that of all my travels in the Caribbean, this home was by far the best place I have every stayed! The house was set up beautifully and decorated in a wonderful cheerful whimsical style. The tranquility was astounding, the water breathtaking, and the long pier with the palapa at the end was my very favorite spot on the property. It is a bit farther out of San Pedro than I had anticipated, and it required renting a golf cart to get around (which ended up being super fun). But the distance from town was also a blessing in that it felt really safe and it was very quiet. I would rent this house again and would recommend it highly!
