Island Breeze Villa is a brand new 3-story custom beachfront estate with a huge rooftop living space and pool with scenic views of the Caribbean Sea and Placencia Village. The villa has 4 bedrooms w/ private ensuite bathrooms and a 5th bedroom with 4 single beds. There are 3 half baths - one on each floor. This unique property is located on Placencia Caye, which is just a few hundred yards from the center of Placencia Village, overlooking the Caribbean Sea and amazing Maya Mountains views!
The covered rooftop deck is a fantastic place to hang out. Cool off in the amazing rooftop pool or have a drink at the large built-in bar and entertainment area as you enjoy the amazing sunsets. You might catch a glimpse of a manatee floating around nearby! You can have the best of both worlds with the security and privacy of being on a private island yet only a 2-minute boat ride to the center of Placencia Village.
This villa offers the privacy and comfort of your own home; fully air-conditioned, high-end appliances, city power, water, etc., with all the associated high-end resort amenities such as daily maid service and a professional chef to cook your meals 3 pre-set days a week in the home.
Get on one of the provided paddle boards or kayaks, located right on the white sand beach behind home. Take a tour around the island and the amazing house reef on the front side of the island, or through the marina. Nice snorkeling is right around the island and the water is always smooth on the leeward side where the house beach is located.
Jump in the provided shuttle boat and have the captain drop you off on the Placencia Village dock, located at the end of the famous Placencia Sidewalk just 2 minutes away, and go into town and check out the fine restaurants, bars, or gift shops.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is the second most popular tourist destination in the country. It is situated on a 16-mile-long peninsula that is surrounded by a 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 inland, Placencia provides easy access to many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, ziplining and cave tubing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops, bars and the famous Placencia Sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!
