About this house rental

Situated in Hopkins, this charming house for $195 per night is a great choice for your next break. Our sea front home is located in the south part of the very quaint, friendly and safe Garifuna fishing village of Hopkins. It has excellent views of the sea, sunrises and the Cayes from the 300 sq ft balcony. During the week, the village tends to be fairly quiet ( except for the occasional rooster!) while on weekends the the area comes alive with music and activity. The house has an open design, with vaulted, cathedral, tropical hardwood ceilings and large windows to maximize the Caribbean Sea breeze. Both bedrooms have split air conditioner units. With one queen bed, two twin beds ( which can be converted to a king bed) and a full futon in the living room, Casita Del Mar will comfortably sleep five-six people. Ceiling fans in each bedroom and two in the main living space give you alternatives for air flow. A multi-filter system provides drinking water to both kitchen and bathroom allowing our guests easy access to unlimited fresh water. There is a safe in the house where you can keep small valuables and documents so that you can relax worry-free on the beach. Our one neighbour is away working in the States most of the time while the other is a friendly, elder woman of the village who keeps to herself but always has a moment to wave or say hello. A short walk will get you to local grocery stores and a variety of restaurants. The beach is sandy, the water is 83 F and the Cayes, for snorkeling or diving, are only 5 miles out. Tired after swimming all morning? Relax in a hammock in the shade on the deck. Or check out the many adventure tours offered in the village from zip lining to cave exploration. Something for everyone. Laundry facilities are available minutes away on the main street. Internet services are also available. Our Property Manager, Cheryl, co-owns a popular local tour company and is ready to meet any of your adventure needs during your stay. We do offer discounts for weekly (7 nights or more) stays. When you enter your dates, the site will calculate the discount for you! Casita del Mar is registered and licensed with the Belize Tourism Board (BTB).

We had a great stay in Hopkins. Casita del Mar was very comfortable. The view was incredible and the sun rises were amazing. We did a fair bit of work remotely during our two week stay and the wifi was very good. We had no problems with connectivity and did several virtual meetings. The kitchen was well-stocked with cups, glasses, pots, pans, cling wrap, and the like. We had plenty of towels, and the bedding was nice. The mattresses were good for me but a bit firm for my wife, but the property manager provided a couple of quilts that we put under the fitted sheet to make the bed a little softer. It's not noted in the descriptions nor in the pictures, but Casita del Mar is now a duplex--a second living area has been constructed under the original house (which is/was pictured on stilts). I don't believe this unit is for rent but rather for the personal use of the owners. They don't live there permanently but were around for part of our visit. They nice, friendly, and quiet, but you may not have the property entirely to yourself. Hopkins is a small village, and the location of Casita del Mar makes many things very walkable--several restaurants, grocery store, fruit stands, and laundry. To get a little farther afield, you might want to rent a car or a golf cart. We had very good food within walking distance and a couple of incredible meals down at the resorts south of the main village. We would definitely go back!

Very well-maintained and comfortable….close to Hopkins center and numerous restaurants and small Garifuna food stands. Beach area in front of the property extremely clean and well-groomed, unlike many of the properties nearby (trash, etc.). The kitchen was well-stocked if needed. The communal chickens were fun to watch….and even the neighborhood dogs on the beach were super chill! Villagers were perhaps the friendliest that we have ever interacted with anywhere.

Everything at Casita del Mar was perfect! Kitchen is well stocked with everything (other than food) you might need. Pots and pans, cups and glasses, oil, salt, microwave. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. A/C was cold at night. Bathroom was large and the shower was spacious. Plenty of bath, hand and beach towels; we brought our own, too. Living room is nice and cozy with a futon, 2 chairs and small coffee table. And the best part! The AMAZING porch that looks out onto the beach and you can hear the waves all day long! We hung up the 2 hammocks provided, and there are 2 lounge chairs available, too. There were many other amenities we didn't use; yoga mats, binoculars, cards, mats, etc. A very well organized beach home. Cherly is vert helpful and quick to answer any questions and to help with food, shuttle and whatever else we needed. We were late to check in because we took the long way from BZE and she even texted me to check on us. Definitely a place we would stay in again.

Our overall stay a Casita Del Mar was very good. The house was very clean and just the right size for my family of 3. The property managers Cheryl and Luckie were very nice and easy to work with. The view from the deck was beautiful and very relaxing when you are in the hammock and you have a beer in your hand. There is generally a very nice breeze coming off the water. The beach itself was pretty nice. The water was a little “seaweedy” at the edge, but once you are out a few yards, the water was fine for swimming. Plastic and trash are an issue on the beach, but I think that is an issue most places in the world sadly. Restaurants and grocery stores were very walkable from Casita Del Mar. I think we liked Maxim’s the most for good food and easy walk from the house. We had some very nice side trips on our stay. Cheryl set us up with Charlton from Hopkins Kulcha Tour for our in-land. We spent the better part of 3 days with Charlton and the local guides he set us up with and had a wonderful time. Cheryl and her husband Luckie, run Happy Go Luckie Tours, they do boat tours. We had a wonderful day out on the water with Capt Luckie and Beans. Beans was a great guide on our snorkeling of the reef. Capt Luckie helped my wife and son catch fish for our supper and was nice enough to fillet fish for us. Overall, we had a very enjoyable trip to Hopkins and Casita Del Mar. We did have a couple of hiccups with the house itself. When we arrived the gas tank, used to heat the water and supply the stove, was empty and the air conditioner in one of the bedrooms was not working. The gas tank was taken care of quickly and the air conditioner was fixed after second day. The wi-fi also went out for a few days. The water pump also went out briefly (30 mins). Cheryl was very easy to work with and worked to get these issues resolved. As a result, the house has a new wi-fi router and was scheduled to get a new water pump.
