Family-friendly island home on Caye Caulker

We enjoyed our vacation very much. It was a totally different experience than what we are used to but never the less it was a very positive one. We loved the people of Caye Caulker. We fell in love with the 2 little Asian girls at the Amigo grocery store. We found ourselves going by there frequently just to stop in and say “Hi”. The arrival went very smoothly although the ride from the airport to the water taxi was a bit scary.When we got to the island we got a ride to the house from Lulu. He was great.We saw him frequently during the week and made arrangements with him to pick us up to catch the water taxi back to the mainland on Saturday.

Joannne & Allison were very helpful although, luckily we didn’t have to call on them very much. It was nice to have the house as our base and be able to enjoy the mornings at our own pace and not have to worry about being at meals at a certain time.We even had a late night visitor one night that woke us up but must have been very shy because when Gerard got up to check out the noise we heard in the kitchen , he fled when the lights were turned on. We figure it was a lizard and he was making a rustling sound in some snack bags that we had left on the counter. The next night we put them away and we didn’t hear from him, although he may have been there just watching us sleep.

The weather was very nice, only a bit of rain on Friday am. We went snorkelling with Anwar tours and Jose was terrific . We have been snorkelling before but that was by far the best experience yet. We really enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the island . The food was terrific, the service was top notch. We rented bikes for the week and enjoyed the ride in & out of town each day.We met some extremely nice people from around the world.

We found the experience very unique and although it wouldn’t be for everyone we truly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely do it again.We will certainly put a plug in for Caye Caulker and also for Sapphire House to anyone wishing to visit Belize.
Thank You for allowing us to stay in your home. We will cherish the memories forever.

We recently spent our Christmas vacation on Caye Caulker and stayed at the Sapphire House. The property is well maintained, large and with plenty of open screened windows for a steady ocean breeze (there is also A/C but we did not use it). The owners and property managers were very helpful and responsive through email with every aspect of our trip planning. We also used a provisioning service - cayeliving.com - and arrived to a full refrigerator, water and drinks - a perfect way to start an incredible vacation. We recommend renting bikes - lots of fun and easier to get to the Split and the main part of the town - and a good way to explore the island.

We had a wonderful stay on Caye Caulker/Sapphire House. House was as we expected, plenty of room, clean and comfortable. Kitchen had all we needed, got a little confused on the water issue, but property mgr, Joanne, helped out. Liked being in quiet area, could listen and watch the birds. Appreciated the AC, the washer/dryer, the restaurant notes in house. Our favorite place to eat dinner was Rosie's for the great seafood. Main St busy with vendors, loved trying the different ones, like the Budget Man. Nice people, friendly. Bicycles a must if you like to explore. Bruce fished the flats with Haywood Curry/Anglers Abroad and had a lesson. Really nice couple with a small hotel near the Split.
Owners real easy to work with, photos did a good job, but more spacious than you could tell. Great snorkeling with Juni, swimming ok at the split, not my favorite. We walked and rode everywhere. It's close to the airport, don't let a taki overcharge you, it's in walking distance.
We would stay here again.
