JUNE/JULY SPECIAL!! BUY 2 WEEKS, GET 1 FREE! OR CHOOSE TO PAY YOUR OWN UTILITIES TO RENT ONE WEEK, GET ONE WEEK FREE! Lofty Sights is a spacious 3 1/2 story home built in 2010 on a double lot located in a quiet area away from the highly trafficked main road. Caribbean Sea lot a short bicycle ride away, and lagoon front lot contiguous to the rental are owned by Lofty Sights and allow you the added bonus of beaches without the additional cost! Visit the waterfront lots as often as you like and swim in the sea, fish, or simply relax and enjoy the breezes and waves. Return to Lofty Sights for peace and serenity away from the traffic noise on the main paved road. Ascend the spiral staircase to the loft and partake of a romantic dinner or cocktail using the bar height table and swivel chairs while watching the sun set behind the Maya Mountains across the Placencia Lagoon. After sunset a multitude of stars appears as the sky darkens.

Natural beauty: Hummingbirds, parrots, parakeets, orioles, pelicans, egrets and many more species are often seen and heard. Iguanas walk across the yard which has been left primarily ''au naturale'' to allow indigenous plants such as seagrape and oak trees, mangroves, and wildlife, to thrive. Small garden areas are being cultivated for herbs and fruit and nut trees including bananas, coconut palms, almonds, passion fruit, mulberry bushes and basil. Fully equipped kitchen provides all you need to prepare your favorite meals. If you prefer eating out, there are several excellent restaurants within a few minutes walking distance. Privacy and security are unique features of this home. Unlike most tropical homes on which the stairs to the entry door are exposed, the stairs at Lofty Sights to reach the main level are enclosed inside the ground level cement room providing you with an extra level of security. There are just a few homes in the area so you will feel the openness.

Quiet area away from busy paved road: A leisurely breakfast or lunch on the loft porch is accompanied by sparkling Placencia lagoon waters and a variety of colorful tropical birds warbling their tunes.Most rentals in Maya Beach are located next to the noisy traffic on the only paved road that connects the peninsula to the mainland. Not so for Lofty Sights, which is on a quiet street and backs up to a canal that leads to the lagoon so there is no ''back neighbor.'' Cable TV provides for entertainment on rare inclement weather days. Belizean hardwood floors throughout add to the charm of this extraordinary home. 4 separate A/C units, 1 in each bedroom, 1 unit in the ''great room'' (family room, kitchen, dining) and 1 in loft. Activities galore: Belizean made wicker sofa, loveseat, footrests, rockers and reclining chaise lounges give you many choices when relaxing with a good book or taking a siesta. The open floor plan provides many separate areas while preserving the feeling of space. A perfect place for a family or group

A great jumping off point to engage in many activities including sailing, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, snorkeling, diving, hiking, ziplining, exploring Mayan ruins, birdwatching, beachwalking, a swim the Caribbean Sea, stargazing and other fun pursuits. The only bowling alley in the entire country of Belize is in Maya Beach. Several fine restaurants are within walking distance, as are grocery stores and resorts offering tour arrangements. Visit Lofty Sights sea and lagoon front lot!

We were blessed to spend a week at this home in Palencia, Belize. It was without a doubt one of the most relaxing weeks I have spent in years. The house was very comfortable and "homey." I sat on the porch during the day enjoying the tropical breezes and reading. And the sunsets at night were spectular. 100 feet away was the bay where my husband fished and I floated. A ten minute walk took me to the beautiful Carribean beaches. I got spoiled eating all the fresh fruit, vegatables, and fish. There is nothing better. We are counting the days till we can go back. I can't recommend the Dufresne's home enough.
