Photos and Description of the Ambergris Caye vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 4)

Welcome to our 'Island Home' at Grand Caribe....the perfect place to get away from it all…the perfect place to leave stress and worry behind. In a word...it’s “Paradise!”

Located on the serene and more tranquil north end of Ambergris Caye, Grand Caribe is a short 1-1/2 miles from San Pedro, the “bustling,” picture-postcard town made famous by Madonna's song 'La Isla Bonita.' Perfectly situated on 500 feet of powdery white-sand beach, Grand Caribe is located within an exclusive, resort community and offers all the modern amenities discriminating travelers expect today.

Our luxury condo is a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath, that directly overlooks the Caribbean Sea and Barrier Reef, offering spectacular, unobstructed views! Only need a 1 Bedroom? Our unit can be rented as a 1 bedroom, 1 bath….we simply lock off one bed and bath, so you can enjoy the full sized spaces in the rest of the home!

Read the Long Description below to understand the full glory of Grand Caribe!

THE ISLAND: AMBERGRIS CAYE; Trip Advisor Traveler's Choice 2013 - Rated #1 Island in the WORLD!

Ambergris Caye is the largest in Belize and most popular amongst tourists. Approximately 26 miles long (1 mile wide) it is divided, north and south, by a cut (small waterway) that has a toll bridge across it. Yes, you read correctly……..it’s the cutest little toll bridge you will ever see! The heart of town is known as San Pedro. The town itself and just south is busy and bustling, while to the north it is more relaxed and quiet, where palm trees are abundant....providing a truer sense of being in the tropics. The north side of 'the cut' has long been viewed as a prime location because of it's more serene setting.....yet close proximity to town.

THE RESORT: GRAND CARIBE; Trip Advisor Traveler's Choice 2013 - Rated #10 Resort in CENTRAL AMERICA!

Located on the serene and more tranquil north end of Ambergris Caye, only a short 1-1/2 miles from San Pedro, the “bustling,” picture-postcard town made famous by Madonna's song 'La Isla Bonita,' Grand Caribe is an exclusive, resort community that offers all the modern amenities discriminating travelers expect today! Built directly on the Caribbean, Grand Caribe is quite new, with construction just completed in 2010. It consists of 74, privately owned, high-end condos, 3 swimming pools (the largest in Belize), swim-up bar and grill, 2 hot tubs, concierge and tour staff, 24-hour security, boat dock, lush landscaping and over 500 feet of powdery white-sand beach. Grand Caribe's Mediterranean architecture is impressive, and because it is perfectly situated in a U shape, each condo offers unobstructed views of the Caribbean.....making the entire community 'ocean front.' In only 3 short years Grand Caribe has become one of the top resorts in Central America!

THE CONDO: CONDO C-4; Grand Caribe's #1 Rental Condo - 2012!

Our 'island home' is a spacious 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1500 square foot, one-level condo. Directly overlooking the Caribbean Sea and Barrier Reef, it offers spectacular, unobstructed views from the front and Lagoon views out the back! Only need a 1 Bedroom? Our condo can be rented as a 1 bedroom, 1 bath….we simply lock off one bed and bath, so you can enjoy the full sized spaces in the rest of the home! For your comfort, it has central air-conditioning, as well as ceiling fans in the main living area and both bedrooms. It is beautifully decorated with Belizean art throughout and all the furniture is of Belizean hardwood made by local craftsmen and artisans. The gourmet kitchen is fully furnished with high end, GE stainless steel appliances, name brand minor appliances and fine service-ware. There are 3, flat screen televisions, 2 dvd players (with small movie library) books, games, iPod docking station, luxurious bed and bath linens, hair dryers, bath robes, beach towels, beach bags, lockable safe.....in essence, you'll find the condo stocked with everything you will need for a very comfortable stay.

THE FREE STUFF: Because Free Stuff is Good!

Daily Maid Service, Laundry Service, Wireless Internet Access, Satellite Television w/Premium Channels, 24-Hour Security and One Roundtrip Transfer Between the Resort and the San Pedro Air Strip.

WANT ADVENTURE?

When you are ready to explore the many wonders that Belize has to offer, whether snorkeling in Shark/Ray Alley or taking a boat to the world famous Blue Hole for a 'once-in-a-lifetime' diving experience, the Grand Caribe tour staff can help plan and arrange your tour itinerary. With daily pick-up at our dock, Grand Caribe is the perfect home base to discover and explore the multitude of historic and cultural offerings throughout Belize. Our experienced guides will escort you to the Mainland where you can visit Mayan ruins, experience jungle tours, zip lining, cave tubing, or horseback riding and will help you create a memorable vacation!

OR JUST TO RELAX?

Treat yourself to a private chef, spa day massages, yoga on the beach or just kick back with a cold drink on the balcony of our Grand Caribe island home to enjoy the most beautiful view imaginable from sunrise to sunset!

About Nancy Singleton Case

Hello! We are Rob and Nancy Case and our “main” home is in Washington, DC. When we're not traveling somewhere in the World for television production (our jobs,) we escape to the peace and relaxation we have in our 'Private Paradise' home at Grand Caribe! We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do and we thank you for visiting us at VRBO!

Nancy Singleton Case purchased this condo in 2008
Why Nancy Singleton Case chose Ambergris Caye

During the many years we’ve traveled abroad, we always kept an open eye for a “getaway place.” A laid back place that was slow and relaxed and yet a place that offered a variety of activities that would keep things fresh and exciting. On our first trip to Belize and Ambergris Caye - with its beautiful azure water, the closeness of the reef, and the warm, friendly people – we knew we found the perfect destination. Other pluses….the official language is English and the US dollar is accepted everywhere. When we bought at Grand Caribe the project was in its development stage so all we had to go on were beautiful concept drawings and one building whose construction was at an early stage. Even with that scant information we could instantly tell the completed Grand Caribe project - both the resort and residences - would be spectacular with a character unique in all of Belize. Unique character indeed - wide open floor plans accented with gently curving walls; the stoutly constructed buildings set in a master sight plan that would embrace a spacious inner court; and the expanse of the beach front, offering the most spectacular Caribbean views in all of Ambergris Caye; a residence that was easily accessible to the Town of San Pedro and yet far enough away to retain it’s exclusivity, yes….we knew THIS was the RIGHT place….the little piece of paradise that we could call our own!! We bought and we’ve never looked back or had one regret. Say no more!

What makes this condo unique

Lets start with the unobstructed view from our balcony of the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean........spectacular and mesmerizing! The serenity and seclusion of Grand Caribe's location on the north end, makes for a perfect romantic 'hideaway.' Need more interaction or to see friendly faces? You can start with our 'swim-up' pool bar and grill. We are also perfectly located within walking distance of a variety of excellent restaurants, a yoga retreat, and the famous Palapa Bar. The Grand Caribe staff is always ready to make any wish you have come true--whether it is arranging a trip to the mainland, making a restaurant reservation, a snorkeling or diving trip, or even an in-room massage. By golf cart, water taxi or regular taxi, Grand Caribe is only 1 1/2 miles, a short ride away, from the 'hustle and bustle' of San Pedro Town and its many restaurants, bars and unique shops. A boat ride up north takes you to more world-class dining and beautiful scenery. At Grand Caribe you are in the center of everything – starting with the romantic serenity of your Grand Caribe home.

Delightful clean and safe, wallowing in the Belizean spirit!

THEY DID MY LAUNDRY EVERY DAY!! OK, that is the most important detail for me! Honestly, this condo at The Grand Caribe was perfect for my family of four. It was clean, totally quiet, with beautiful views yet very private. Prior to my arrival, all my questions were answered within a couple of hours via email from the delightful owner. The Grand Caribe offers anything, everything you would want...or they stay out of your hair if you prefer. They would go pick up our grocery list and be back within an hour. The location is perfect, the perfect (short) distance from town. We rented a golf cart for the whole time and enjoyed a mix of scheduled tours and our own adventures. (P.S. Cave tubing is not all its cracked up to be - a gigantic tourist melee) The food in Belize - from the coolers and grills on the side of the road to the nicest restaurants - is amazing. The spirit of the country cannot be described. Friendly, safe, loving, so happy, peaceful. Is there a limit on how much I can write??

Better Than We Expected

5 of 5
Submitted: March 30, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
We have rented several condos in various tropical destinations and this one was more than we had previously experienced or expected. We thought it was an excellent value for the price and the entire property was in top condition... it was like brand new. We were told that it was built about four years ago. The staff was very friendly and helpful... they treated us like we were family… I’m not kidding.

The condo itself was larger than expected, had a great floor plan, large kitchen and bath spaces and a great view of the pool area and the ocean from the balcony. We used the kitchen to prepare about half of our meals and found everything we needed as far as cookware, utensils and kitchen gadgets. Though they sell bottled water in the lobby, I drank the filtered water and used the ice from the door of the full size refrigerator and had no problems.

My wife and I are quite particular about the cleanliness of the rooms when we travel. The maids here are fantastic and this is probably the cleanest place we have ever stayed. When we were out on the balcony in the morning we could see the maids collecting blossoms from plants around the property and later in the day find these same blossoms strategically placed inside the condo. Nice touch.

The accommodation was truly superior and the staff at Grand Caribe were exceptional. We were right on the beach with easy access to San Pedro by water taxi and great local restaurants. We even had good fishing off the pier. I would recommend this accommodation to all travellers.

Excellent Condo; mediocre bar

4 of 5
Submitted: December 11, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
The condo was exceptional. Tastefully decorated with local art; beautiful expansive kitchen thoroughly updated. Ceiling fans keep the condo cool. Televisions and wi-fi if you want to remain in-touch. The main pool was exceptional and massive. The front desk staff were always helpful. The condo was kept immaculately clean with daily service. The concierge was quite helpful.

There were supposed to be kayaks; we were told they were damaged and replacements not received yet. If kayaking matters, it would be worth checking before you go.

This condo has exceptional view of the ocean, but you can not see the sunrise from the deck. Its a very short walk to the beach and dock to see the gorgeous hues.

This condo is walkable to town. But its a hike. We rented a golf cart one day. Took taxi's to town for a special dinner. Taxi ride costs seem to depend on weather. It was more expensive in rain than it was on a nice day at the beginning of the trip. You would be well served to rent a cart if you plan on going to town more than a time or two. Water taxi's come every 2 hours.

Amigo del mar, the best dive shop I've ever used, picks up at the dock.

The bar is mediocre. During our trip no one came around to our beach chairs to offer drinks. The wait staff for breakfast was not pleasant on either day we ate there. The food was fine, but just fine. The single beverage we had from the bar was ok, but the person making it was irritated at a customer who had called so was not very friendly. We didn't go back. The bar could make more money if they would be pleasant to the guests and make an effort.

Except for the bar, this is an exceptional location and we will return over and over again. Highly recommend.

Owner's Response: Rose,

Thank you so much for your review and for your kind words about our condo. We're so happy to hear you had a wonderful time and loved our "island home" as much as we do.

Happy as we are to hear you enjoyed the condo, we were saddened to read of your experience at the poolside bar. We fully understand, respect and appreciate your honest feedback. That is what we strive for. Since we have no control over that aspect of the resort, we passed your comments on to both Grand Caribe management and the couple who operate the bar. They both have offered sincere apologies and they have assured us that they are taking immediate action to make sure this does not happen in the future.

Again, we're so thrilled you are planning a return and you are welcomed as our guest at any time. As our way of saying "Thank You" ....there's a Gift Certificate waiting for you for free drinks at the poolside bar! This time, it is our goal to win your TOTAL appreciation!!

Thank you again,

Rob and Nancy

THANK YOU FOR RENTING US YOUR BELIZE DREAM HOME!

Submitted: December 10, 2012 Stayed: December 2012
Hi Nancy,

Thank you for renting us your Belize dream home for the week. It's decorated beautifully. What a delight when we were greeted with the flowers and palms on the beds and around the condo. The front bedroom with view of the pools and reef is spectacular. My brother Bill and Kate won the coin toss and got that room first. On Wednesday Walt and I moved to the front room. The staff members were all friendly and helpful.

e liked the restaurants you suggested and also had a lovely Friday night dinner with live music at Capricorn.

Thanks again for the use of your condo.

Sincerely,

The condo was awesome and the pool with the swim up bar a lot of fun. Melody at the front desk was very helpful and Charlotte at the bar and grill made some good food. Snorkeling at shark and stingray alley was very cool. We would recommend renting a golf cart for the week. We would love to go back again!!

What a wonderful place! This condo is fantastic...everything you need for a week in paradise. Beautifully decorated...the complex is wonderful, large pools, great beach, weather was fantastic every day. Everyone is so nice at Grand Caribe too...very helpful. Definitely reco a golf cart to get around...but great restaurants within walking distance too...Aji, Capricorn, Palapa. Had wonderful massages on the beach at Las Terrazas. Snorkeling at Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley was unbelievable (booked right through Grand Caribe, guides were amazing). We rented a car one day and made our own tour to Xanatunich ruins & Belize Zoo (less expensive then the tours). Other restaurants we loved were Elvi's Kitchen, Caramba's, Sunset, and Blue Water for Sushi. And don't miss Ice Cream at DandE's!! This Condo and Grand Caribe are definitely the BEST OF THE BEST...don't miss it, book your paradise now!! Thanks again to Nancy and Rob for sharing their home!!
