About Placencia, Belize
Placencia is a laid-back beach destination on the southern Caribbean coast of Belize. Located at the tip of the Placencia Peninsula, it boasts palm-lined beaches, a vibrant lagoon teeming with manatees, dolphins, and wildlife, and close proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef, ideal for world-class snorkeling and diving.
This culturally rich area is also home to Seine Bight, a Garífuna village known for its traditional drumming, dance, and warm hospitality.
Placencia offers the best of both worlds—adventurous inland activities like zip-lining, hiking, cave tubing, exploring Mayan ruins, and visiting waterfalls, as well as sea-based excursions such as island hopping, sailing, and fishing. It’s a quieter, more relaxed alternative to the busier San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.
Getting Here
All international flights arrive at Belize City Airport (BZE). From there, our full-time concierge can assist in arranging your transfer to the villa. You can choose from:
• Domestic flight to Placencia
• Private shuttle service
• Rental car for more flexibility

If you're traveling between May and October, you may have heard about the seasonal sargassum seaweed affecting Caribbean beaches from Cancun to Belize. The good news? Ophelia’s Villa is lagoonfront, so you won’t see, smell, or swim near any sargassum during your stay. Enjoy clean, calm waters with no seaweed worries.

Important Things to Know Before Booking
Noise Expectations
This is a home for relaxing and reconnecting with nature—not a party house. Voices carry across the lagoon, so we ask for quiet outdoor volumes and no amplified music after 8 p.m. Please respect our neighbors and enjoy the sounds of the breeze, birds, and jumping fish.
Environmental Sensors
To ensure a safe and healthy space, we use discreet camera-free environmental monitors (no sound or image recording). They track humidity, temperature, smoke, and noise levels. We’ll only notify you if thresholds are exceeded.
Conservation & Local Systems
A/C Use: Please turn off units when not home. Belize has limited power infrastructure, and energy conservation helps prevent outages.
Septic System: Only flush natural waste—no toilet tissue. Covered waste bins are provided and picked up twice a week.

Summary: Ophilia's Villa is everything as advertised AND MORE. Heather and her team have gone above and beyond to attend to every detail to make your vacation a DREAM vacation. The home is perfectly laid out for a family of 4 to 8 and has spectacular views. The advice we received booking our excursions took the guessing game out of it and were AMAZING adventures. This is the only true 5 Star VRBO we have ever stayed at. Modern appliances, comfy beds, clean outdoor furniture, great water pressure and temp, spacious kitchen and comfortable back deck all make Ophelia's an amazing base for Belize's natural wonder. THANKS AGAIN to the entire team.

Summary: We had a wonderful time at Ophelia's Villa. This was our very first trip to Belize and it did not disappoint. Heather, Kevin and our Ophelia's Villa hosts were extremely responsive and very helpful whenever we needed recommendations - they are excellent hosts. We had two families staying together, with 9 of us in total - 4 adults, 4 teenagers and one 9-year-old. There was something for everyone. They have done a great job with the games area at the ground floor, to provide plenty of poolside entertainment options. Inside the villa, they were also well stocked with all we would expect and more - even having books to read and games to play. Placencia and Maya Beach are wonderful locations to spend time bonding as a family, with some great activities nearby. We did a guided fishing tour of the outer reef with Fin Obsession (thanks to Ophelia's for the recommendation), a snorkeling tour with Captain Jak's to Silk Caye and Moho Caye, and spent time using our complimentary access to the beautiful Placencia Beach Club that comes with the stay at Ophelia's. Before arriving at the Villa, we also took some time to enjoy the San Ignacio area exploring Mayan ruins and doing the ATM cave excursion with MayaWalk, There really is an incredibly diverse list of things to enjoy in this beautiful country. We hope to return someday! A big thanks again to the Chance family for being such welcoming hosts - you really have created a beautiful place to enjoy!

Summary: We had a great time staying at Ophelia’s Villa. The home was very clean. Well equipped and comfortable. Communication with the owners and property managers was great. Heather helped us plan all of our adventures and made everything painless. We loved having the lagoon views as well as all of the close restaurants. 10 out of 5 stars would highly recommend staying here. We have stayed at a lot of vacation rentals and this was easily the most pain free. Thank you for hosting us.

Summary: Ophelia's Villa was exactly as described, and in person, even better. The view of the lagoon and the Mayan mountains is extraordinary. The villa is extremely well thought out, and the communication with the Owners and Property Caretakers was the best I've ever experienced. The location was perfect for our family-- close to everything but also provided privacy. I definitely recommend this villa. Loved our visit to Belize.

Summary: Ophelia’s villa impressed from beginning to end. The pictures accurately show each area of the home that we found so much enjoyment in. The owners created a digital guide that contained information about arriving into Belize, how to find the villa, check in process, local guide information, and even contained a link to local weather information. The owners have thought of everything, from the guide to the details of their home and welcome basket. We just really couldn’t be more impressed with the communication and care these owners put into ensuring our vacation was perfect. The high end finishings and furnishings of the home made our stay comfortable. There was plenty of room on the property for our group of 8 to come together or spread out when needing space as well. Kevin and Heather really put a lot of care and attention into making their guests feel welcomed and cared for. Thank you for providing an amazing stay for our family to create lifelong of memories.

Summary: My family and i just got back from staying 10 days at Ophelia's Villa in April. Heather and Kevin could teach a class in how to properly manage your VRBO. I was blown away at how much work they put into to making their website and guidebook app. They truly thought of everything. Any question we had about the villa was easily answered in the guidebook app. We drove in from Belize City and the listing was easy to find. The villa is absolutely beautiful and you are immediately transformed to a relaxing and tranquil environment the minute you set foot in the door. The views are amazing and it was so nice to be located on the quieter lagoon side. The pool, fish dock, and outdoor games were great. Luti and Ms. Ida were both such lovely and helpful people. Any questions we had they were able to answer and Luti was really helpful with the few things we needed help with at the villa. We really enjoyed our time in Placencia and Maya Beach. The food in the area was excellent and I wished we could have had more time to try even more restaurants because we did not have a bad meal the entire trip. We were also very pleased with the tour company they recommended called Dtourz. Their guides were very knowledgeable and our tours were so much fun! I highly recommend staying at Ophelia's Villa. We cannot wait to come back and we are so in love with Belize now after staying at your house. Thank you Heather and Kevin for all that you have done to make our vacation so special.
