5 Bedroom House in Placencia, Maya Beach

** Placencia, Belize is your ideal location! Our villa is a private property located in a quiet fishing village to seclude yourself away from others. You can distance your family and friends between reefs and rainforest in a little piece of paradise. We have our own dedicated onsite staff, properly trained to thoroughly clean the properties from top to bottom. In addition to our daily cleaning we have taken extra measures to clean and disinfect high-touch surfaces in common areas (e.g. tables, hard-backed chairs, doorknobs, light switches, phones, remote controls, handles, desks, toilets, sinks). **
Villa Groovy Gecko is a magnificent, large, very open, two story private waterfront beach house located directly on the Caribbean Sea in Placencia, Belize. Large infinity pool on beach, with outdoor covered area.

Outstanding features radiate luxury and beauty throughout this exquisite 5 Bedroom, 5.5 Bath residence.
The home is meticulously maintained by full time onsite staff and very active owner.
The main home is two stories consisting of over 3,500 sq ft of living area and covered patios directly over looking a private beach and the ocean.
Upstairs in the home you will find the master bedroom with a large master bath and breathtaking views of the ocean. Upstairs also includes a second bedroom with a private bathroom, a large living room, dinning room, large well equipped open kitchen and a massive covered patio that goes across the entire back of the home overlooking the ocean.
The three remaining bedrooms are located on the first floor, each with its own private bath.
While the home is specifically designed to take advantage of the trade winds coming off the ocean the home is equipped with the latest high end ECO FRIENDLY SOLAR PANEL assisted A/C systems that not only are the quietest available anywhere but also VERY energy efficient.

Summary: The Groovy Gecko was perfect for our family group. We had 7 adults a 3 year old and a one year old. The location had everything we needed to keep the kids entertained with the pool, pier, beach and ocean easily available. Plenty of shaded areas for the hot part of the day. Lots of safe space for the kids to play. The best part was the services. The daily cleaning and laundry was a great convenience and Chef Manuel was fantastic. We found this house to be a great value when you add in these extra services. There is also a golf cart on site to run to get Groceries or to a restaurant, or into town.

Summary: Just returned from a week at Groovy Gecko. The house is beautiful and well appointed. The pool, beach and house accommodations were just as pictured and described. We were particularly impressed with the housekeeping staff and chef. All of our requests were met with quick response. When we return to Belize, Groovy Gecko will be our first and only choice.

Summary: We had a great time! The house is very spacious. This was our girls trip for 2024. We hung out mostly by the pool and upstairs. The downstairs is in an open air setting with 3 bedrooms adjacent. All the 5 bedrooms have A/C. The upstairs has A/C. We were there for 5 days. We used the golf cart to travel to Placencia Village often, about 25 minutes away. We loved eating where the locals ate also. We had 2 days with the chef. Great food! He was on point for every meal. Mindy was great too and helpful. We loved the area. we will be back! The upstairs

Summary: We recently stayed at Groovy Gecko for 6 days and it was perfect. The property is beautiful and the staff were so accommodating and pleasant. We were there with 10 people and there was plenty of space for everyone. The house and grounds were immaculate at all times. Anything we asked for was answered and handled asap. We had the chef for 3 of the days and we were in heaven. I would definitely recommend this property, def 5 star!!!!

Summary: Great property for teenagers who all want their own rooms and bathrooms. A lot to do on property and a perfect home base for snorkeling and scuba diving. We went in wet season so the mosquitos and sand flys were bad, but only at night. Staff and host super responsive and nice. Highly recommend.

Summary: Villa Groovy Gecko is a slice of paradise in the Caribbean. It's a private beach front villa with all the amenities of a resort. It's a great location, close to the store and restaurants and the staff is very accommodating and friendly as well. We had an amazing time and did not want to leave our little paradise. We will definitely be staying here again!

Summary: We enjoyed our stay in Belize. Groovy Gecko is a beautiful property meticulously maintained by the staff. A couple of drawbacks were the noise. The street noise starts about 5:00 am, neighbors on both sides can be loud any time of the day, staff are fixing or building things most of the day. Peaceful and tranquil this place is not.

Summary: We had 5 adults and 2 children ages 4 & 2 years. Great beach and wonderful pool. Grounds very well maintained. Daily housekeeping and laundry. We hired Chef Domingo for all 5 days of our stay which I would strongly recommend especially with little ones. Very accurate description of the property on-line. Geri always responded to our inquiries within an hour. Numerous restaurants within short golf cart ride but we only ate out the night of arrival. Great dive trip with Captain Jak’s. Rented a sailboat with Daytrippers. Wonderful experience.
