About Us

Like most people who find themselves in Belize, we were attracted by the warmth of the weather and the people.  We knew we didn’t want to become another statistic, finding ourselves 65 and retired before living life.  We witnessed countless people becoming ill or passing away before enjoying the fruits of their labor. 

With our health and youth intact we set out on our Belizean adventure.

Beautiful location wonderful people. A little Caribbean Sea bliss. Perfect spot to camp for a night or a week. Currently have room for several overlanding/van life vehicles and will soon have a very nice cabana overlooking the sea for rent. Brand new toilet/ shower House. We stayed 3 night and will be back if our travels take us this way again. Currently the driveway is at the end of the road. Look for the gray gate.

A wonderful spot. Ralph and his wife (sorry I never got your name!) are great hosts. They have a beautiful spot on the beach. The property is well maintained and manicured. They have a nice seating area to enjoy the sea breeze. Views of the night sky are absolutely amazing. The road in is approximately 7 kms long and is dirt and potted. However, the road is hard and stable and our converted shuttle bus (not 4 wheel drive or off-road) made it with out any trouble. Slow and steady will get you there. Enjoy the adventure and scenic views. Follow the road all the way to the end where it bends to the right, towards the sea and that's the spot. No signage yet but it's there, despite what locals passing by may tell you lol. I would go back again.

Stayed here for two nights. Owners super welcoming and helpful. They have a small cabin to rent and camping right on the beach. Highly recommend.

LOVED the private, remote location! Parked my RV right on the beach and enjoyed the view and the warm hospitality. Book ahead! This place is going to be POPULAR
