This uniquely designed island includes 5 private suites with their own large open air thatch roof bathrooms, specifically laid out to take advantage of the amazing sea, mountain views and the cool trade winds.
Little Harvest Caye is a 1.5 acre private resort island that is located just 3/4 of a mile from the center of Placencia Village which is just a short 5 minute boat ride all in protected smooth waters. The Little Harvest Caye boat stays out on the island along with its captain and is available to take you back and fourth from Placencia based on your schedule. The island is uniquely situated to have panoramic views in all directions of the Maya Mountains, open ocean and Placencia Village.

Little Harvest Caye is powered by a state of the art 45,000 watt solar system, with a room full of batteries to power the island when the sun is not out making it truly off-grid. The island does have a back-up generator to provide power to the island during extended periods of rain or heavy clouds; its use is not required under normal circumstances and with reasonable use of the air conditioners in each of the bedrooms.

**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia 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 on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.

This GOLD STANDARD elegant, private, serene, and truly beautiful villa is set in a gorgeous tropical garden complete with a large waterfall pool, palapa dock, rooftop deck, outdoor entertainment area all right on the Caribbean Sea. This private, walled estate offers complete security, luxury, and privacy. Yet it is but a short walk (5-8 minutes only) to the centre of Placencia Village with its many artisan shops, fantastic local and international restaurants and fun beach bars. As we offer courtesy pick up service to and from the airport, all day excursion guides offer free pick up for guests staying at the villa, the majority of our guests chose not to rent a vehicle during their stay. A considerable cost saving!
The interior space is the lower level of the Villa and is approximately 2,000 square feet offering beautiful decor and every comfort of home. There are two bedrooms each with a queen sized bed and two large bathrooms. One has a beautiful outdoor shower complete with its own small private garden as well as large walk-in indoor shower. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a gas range, a large refrigerator with an ice maker and water dispenser, blender, microwave oven, dishwasher and all other equipment necessary to produce a gourmet meal which can be enjoyed in the dining area which seats six. The lounge area is complete with all you need to enjoy a relaxing evening watching television (flat screen) or listening to music. The entire area is tastefully decorated with local art and crafts and is very well maintained. Of course it has central air conditioning, free wi-fi (Skype quality) and cable television for your comfort and enjoyment.
The garden and pool area is truly beautiful! There are many paths to explore to discover its lush foliage, bountiful flowers, including many orchids, numerous types of palms and flowering shrubs, climbing vines and even fruit trees. When swimming in the large salt water pool, gazing at the sea, the large palms or the hundreds of flowers which surround it, one feels as though they are truly in the Garden of Eden! There are several cushioned lounges, chairs, even a hammock in the pool area where you can choose to rest in either the sun or the shade.
Near the pool area is also a new entertainment area complete with an outdoor kitchen. Beautiful custom made picnic table and wet bar complete with refrigerator and Caribbean style gas/wood/briquet BBQ with a smoker to prepare and enjoy those more casual meals and drinks.
The very large palapa dock is several feet from the shore and is a perfect spot to enjoy the sea breezes and watch the sailboats, visiting yachts, local fishing boats and dolphins from the very comfortable loungers. There is also a rooftop deck area with its 360 degree views of the sea, the canal and the distant mountains. Perfect spot for a sundowner while waiting for the most gorgeous sunsets the Caribbean has to offer!
All this comfort and luxury is an ideal place to spend a relaxing day in your private pool or to come home to after a day on Placencia's white sandy beaches, or on one of the many available day trips, snorkelling, sailing, diving, hiking, or exploring nearby rain forests or the ancient Mayan ruins.
Bring your e-book for reading in your hammock, your hiking shoes for local tours, flip flops for dining out and your sweetheart with or without your best friends for a fantastic, relaxing vacation.
Keywords: Beautiful, spacious, private villa complete with waterfall pool, outdoor entertainment area, gorgeous gardens all on the beautiful Caribbean Sea!
- "You drive down a dirt road come to a tall fence and open the door and wow. All the beautiful trees, pool and house. Would recommend this place to anyone" - "The interior space of the property is more than fine, but the real attraction to this property is the outside space. The swimming pool is large and deep (7 feet) and absolutely gorgeous. The grounds around it are beautifully manicured with palms, orchids, and other flowering bushes. The palapa deck provides a lovely view of the sea and a cool breeze. We took a couple of excursions around Placencia, but spent most of our time floating around in the pool. Wouldn't change a thing!"

- "This property was wonderful however the air conditioning could be upgraded to do a little better job and a generator system needs to be installed in the event of a power outage which I experienced. If the power goes out you also have no water because the water is pumped." - "Clean, well maintained gorgeous ocean view villa that comfortably fits our entire family." - "We stayed at Tipsy Gecko for 7 weeks first & foremost the people here are the happiest, friendliest people we have ever met! The staff is absolutely amazing the house is kept spotless by Mabel & Mindy and Jorge rakes the beach and keeps the pool and grounds perfect. He will get you coconuts to drink the water from them everyday! Delicious! Always with a smile on his face. The house is great beds are very comfy and house is equipped with everything you need! The chefs were outstanding we had the most delicious food prepared for us Orlando was our favorite but all were great chefs!! We used Leo’s car rental down the street to take us on private excursions so you can do your own thing and not have to be with a large group. Cave tubing in St. Hermon cave is fun but if you want something a little more adventurous do the cave hike experience with Vida the guide, it was spectacular but you do need to be physically fit it’s well worth it! Swimming in the waterfall is fun and only 30 minutes away then have lunch on the top of the mountain with a 360 degree view of beautiful Belize! We did go to the Mayan ruins a 3 hour drive it was pretty cool and interesting then went to Guatemala !! A must do is to contact Corine at The Yacht Club which is down in the village she will send a boat in the bay of the village to get you, best bruschetta & jalapeño poppers ever! This truly was our favorite vaca from cold Michigan! Loved being on the beach & having the pier!"

Beautiful modern beach house, right at the beginning of the famous Placencia sidewalk. Sleeping accommodations for up to 6 guests. Easy walk to restaurants, shops, sightseeing excursions, etc. We would love to host you in our Belizian paradise!
- "My wife and I decided to take our moms to Belize and found The White House online. The listing made it look like the perfect place -- near enough to walk to everything, but far enough from it to be quiet. After booking, things only got better. The owners are not only super communicative, they go well out of their way to make sure your entire trip is stress free. Renting a car and driving from Belize City? Their step-by-step instructions, complete with interesting sights to see called out by mile marker, is just one example of how easy they make it. They also had a cute, useful, and tasty welcome gift. The house itself is amazing. And, yes, the location is perfect. Beach out front. Grocery at the head of the road. Three minute walk to Placencia Beach Club and fifteen minute walk to the municipal pier via the sidewalk. Though, honestly, we could have stayed on the veranda the entire trip. Oh, and be sure to book at least one night with Monique, the chef who will come to the house and cook for you. We're already thinking of returning to The White House."

Placencia is the second most popular tourist destination located in Southern Belize. It is located on a 16 mile long peninsula that is surrounded by the Placencia 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 on a peninsula and not an island, Placencia provides easy access to the Belize Rainforest and many activities on the mainland like Mayan Ruins, waterfalls, zip lining and cave tubbing to name a few. Placencia offers numerous restaurants, small shops and bars and is home to famous Placencia Sidewalk and is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation.
All international flights coming into Belize land at the Belize City Airport (BZE). Our full time concierge will work with you to arrange transportation from BZE to the property.
Getting from BZE to The Enclave is easy with 2 options available.
Option 1 is to take a short (approximately 30 minute) local commuter flight from BZE to the Placencia Airstrip where you will be met by the island's staff that will pick you in our custom limo golf cart to take the short 1 minute ride to our marina where the boat will be waiting to take you on the short ride out to the island. Our concierge will work with you to book these flights once you have your international flights booked and locked in.
Option 2 is to take a van shuttle from BZE to the Gecko Marina where the island's staff will be waiting on you to take you in the boat to take you to the island. The driver will meet you outside of baggage claim. The drive from BZE to our marina is around 2.5 hours. Our concierge will work with you to get this booked again once you have your international flights booked.
BOOKING FEES & CANCELLATION POLICY
A full refund minus a non-refundable booking fee of $450, will be issued when Guest elects to cancel the booking at least 120 days prior to check-in date. If the booking is canceled at any point after the 120 days, all payments made will be retained.
- "It was seven couples and we each had our own little villa/cabana. It was great. You could enjoy the privacy of your own place but come to the main areas and enjoy everyone’s company when you wanted to. It was great for a relaxing vacation but there were also things/excursions to do if you wanted to have a little more adventure. I would do this again." - "We have a large family, and celebrated our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It was hands down the best trip and experience. I highly recommend Enclave - the staff went above and beyond, the location was gorgeous, and we had everything we needed for a stress free trip. I typically like to try new places but I’d rebook in a heartbeat. Thank you for making our trip such a fantastic experience. Date of arrival - April 13, 2024"

- "We recently stayed at Our Special Harbor and it was fantastic! The house was super clean and well stocked. The check in process was seamless and Herbert was an exceptional host! He answered all my questions, gave suggestions for restaurants and excursions and was extremely easy to work with - easily the best VRBO host I've had the pleasure working with. Teo, the caretaker, kept the grounds spotless! We drove from Belize City to Placencia and it was very easy. For us, the entire Placencia peninsula was extremely quiet...it felt like we were practically the only people on vacation! We were able to walk into restaurants at any time of the day and never had to wait. We enjoyed several meals at Maya Beach Bistro - it was our favorite! We also enjoyed Naia; the Barefoot Bar for yummy drinks and appetizers; my girls loved the coffee at Brewed Awakenings and we all loved the gelato at Tutti Frutti. Having the pool right on the ocean was amazing! When we were there, the ocean wasn't as clear in front of the house as it was in Placencia itself. It didn't bother us at all, but just thought I'd share. You also cannot get very far walking on the beach if that is important to you. However, it is an amazing property and you cannot beat the view. We went on an island hopping tour with Go Sea Tours and snorkeled around Silk Caye & swam with nurse sharks & sea turtles. We also did the Cave Tubing & Xunantunich tour with Truly Wild Belize. I would highly recommend them both!"

About Placencia, Belize
Placencia is a laid-back beach destination on the southern Caribbean coast of Belize. Located at the tip of the Placencia Peninsula, it boasts palm-lined beaches, a vibrant lagoon teeming with manatees, dolphins, and wildlife, and close proximity to the Belize Barrier Reef, ideal for world-class snorkeling and diving.
This culturally rich area is also home to Seine Bight, a Garífuna village known for its traditional drumming, dance, and warm hospitality.
Placencia offers the best of both worlds—adventurous inland activities like zip-lining, hiking, cave tubing, exploring Mayan ruins, and visiting waterfalls, as well as sea-based excursions such as island hopping, sailing, and fishing. It’s a quieter, more relaxed alternative to the busier San Pedro, Ambergris Caye.

All international flights arrive at Belize City Airport (BZE). From there, our full-time concierge can assist in arranging your transfer to the villa. You can choose from:
• Domestic flight to Placencia

• Rental car for more flexibility
Prepare your arrival time between3-7pm. Late arrival needs to be approved in advance.
No Sargassum Guarantee!
If you're traveling between May and October, you may have heard about the seasonal sargassum seaweed affecting Caribbean beaches from Cancun to Belize. The good news? Ophelia’s Villa is lagoonfront, so you won’t see, smell, or swim near any sargassum during your stay. Enjoy clean, calm waters with no seaweed worries.

Important Things to Know Before Booking
Noise Expectations
This is a home for relaxing and reconnecting with nature—not a party house. Voices carry across the lagoon, so we ask for quiet outdoor volumes and no amplified music after 8 p.m. Please respect our neighbors and enjoy the sounds of the breeze, birds, and jumping fish.
Environmental Sensors
To ensure a safe and healthy space, we use discreet camera-free environmental monitors (no sound or image recording). They track humidity, temperature, smoke, and noise levels. We’ll only notify you if thresholds are exceeded.
Conservation & Local Systems
A/C Use: Please turn off units when not home. Belize has limited power infrastructure, and energy conservation helps prevent outages.
Septic System: Only flush natural waste—no toilet tissue. Covered waste bins are provided and picked up twice a week.
- "The staff at Ophelia’s Villa thought of everything to make this annual family vacation one of our favorites, The personal touches in the villa made us feel welcome, the kitchen was well equipped, the games around the pool area kept us entertained, the pool was relaxing, the kyakys and bikes kept us active and the views/ sunsets were amazing. The host and property manager were attentive to our questions and provided us ample information about the area to have time to relax and enjoy the Belize. They even arranged for us to have a massage at the Villa which was amazing! Thanks Ophelia’s Villa. Hope we can be back again soon."

I have never been in a home where you could sit in the living room and to the west, see the mountains and to the east, see the beach and the beautiful sea. All at the same time. Several places to relax & have fun. Floating in the sea, hanging out in the pool, take a walk out on the private dock in a hammock, soaking in the hot tub with an infinity edge, playing a game of pool or lounging inside. Our personal chef, Kenton, prepared every dish that should be on the cover of Bon Appetite. Elver took care of every detail including bonfires on the beach and fresh gorgeous flowers in every room. Lupita, our housekeeper kept up with us with ease, laundry including bedding done several days. She left us towels shaped like birds on the beds. It was hard to go home, I miss our new friends!

- "We returned early this week from this gorgeous home. I was nervous as we have never used VRBO outside of the US. From the minute we entered the house the staff greeted us with fresh made salsa & gave us a tour of the home & property. Johnny made delicious meals for our family of 8 and we requested fresh lobster for a meal & he found the largest tails we've ever seen. He was very professional and we loved hearing his stories. Having Aliah there to tidy up the place on a daily basis was wonderful. She like Johnny was very professional and helpful. Ovi is a gem. He cleaned the beach area every morning and made sure we had everything we needed. He helped plan our snorkeling & mayan ruin excursions and took care of getting us a taxi to go the village. Erica was very easy to work with and she checked on us to make sure everything was going well. We felt like we were at resort without all the people. I would highly recommend Hide Away villa.

**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!
**GETTING FROM THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO THE PROPERTY**
All international flights into and out of Belize are serviced through the Philip S.W. Goldson International Airport (BZE), located northwest of Belize City. Your concierge will assist with the first options to arrange domestic transportation from BZE to Placencia:
- Travel by plane on a local commuter flight from the airport (BZE) to the Placencia Airstrip (PLJ). Flight time is approximately 30 minutes. Once in Placencia, our staff will pick you up and take you to the villa. Our concierge will work with you to book the local flights as soon as you have your international flights ready.

- Option 3 is to rent a vehicle at BZE and make the drive down to the condo yourself. There are numerous rental car agencies right across the parking lot from baggage claim including Hertz Avis and Crystal Car Rental a larger local car rental company.

- "Beautiful well appointed home on the beach with private pool. Spacious and perfect for our family of 10. Great location, nice beach, great service and the chef was amazing. Very well cared for home. Can't wait to come back!" - "We had 3 families (11 total guests) in our group and had an incredible time here! The house was clean, beautiful and having our own pool and beach was wonderful! It is on the outskirts of the town so it is essential to have a golf cart or car to get around outside of tours. We rented an additional golf cart while there which worked out perfectly. We really appreciated having the house cleaned and daily laundry by Kelly, and were spoiled with amazing meals by Orlando. This listing come with a few days of chef service included as part of the price- this is a game changer especially if you have a large group!! The concierge service that is associated is also a huge bonus. We are looking at the calendar to return again!"

OHANA: Your Perfect Beachfront Family Getaway in the Placencia Village
Looking for the ultimate family vacation spot? Welcome to OHANA – a place where good memories, games, hugs, love, and smiles come standard.
This fully serviced beachfront villa sleeps up to 12 guests. Our talented chef and friendly housekeeping team are here to make sure you can truly relax while enjoying the gorgeous Placencia beachfront. Plus, there are 4 smaller units available on the same property, rented separately (also sleeping up to 12 in total) , just ask if you need more space!.
The Space
Nestled on 0.75 acres of lush, landscaped grounds with 170 palm trees, OHANA sits directly on the soft sands of Placencia beach. Your tropical escape comes complete with:
A mirror effect swimming pool
Pool table, foosball, darts
2-hole minigolf course
Climbing wall, beach volleyball court
Kayaks, paddle boards, and beach games
Hammocks for that perfect siesta
Relax in a hammock, sip a fresh cocktail, and let the tropical breeze and the sway of palm trees lull you into vacation mode.
We’re at the northern end of Placencia’s famous village sidewalk – the most charming way to explore, and just a short stroll to restaurants, supermarkets, and dive shops.
Why OHANA Stands Out
Perfect location - 250 feet of sandy beach in front of our property, far enough from the noisiest spots in the village to enjoy a quiet and safe environment, yet close enough to walk to the bars, restaurants and shops when you feel like, in only a few minutes by the sidewalk or by the beach.
Far enough from the noisy & busy main Placencia road where most of the rental are located.
Guest Access
You’ll have full and exclusive access to the entire house and grounds:
Pool, loungers, and hammocks
2 holes of Minigolf, climbing wall, pool table, foosball
Kayaks, paddle boards, and other beach toys
Spacious garden and beachfront
Chef & Housekeeping
Our Chef/Bartender is at your service to whip up delicious meals and refreshing drinks. Grocery shopping is handled for you (with a 20% shopping fee), and the Chef has an impressive menu. He can also customize menus to suit any cravings or dietary needs—just let him know!
Housekeeping is included to keep things tidy so you can focus on making memories.
If you’re dreaming of barefoot walks on the beach, sunset cocktails, and endless activities for the whole family, OHANA is calling.
- "First, the owners were amazing and went out of their way to communicate and help you plan. They even showed up the morning of our departure to bid farewell. We had 12 people, great grand parents, grand parents, parents, and kids. House was more than spacious. The layout was great with 2 masters down stairs and other bedrooms on 2nd floor. The staff was there daily cleaning and washing. That was a big plus and made the trip more relaxing. They even washed our personal clothes and laid them out on the bed. OMG, the pool over looks the beach and ocean. The beach was like having a private area. The house was located 100yds from Chill Point Coffee and Ice Cream shop. Open early and late with food available. Overall this place was amazing and was perfectly located! I give it 10 stars out of 5"

A swirl of turquoise and aquamarine lagoons cradle Gladden, an island fringed with coral and white sand in the heart of the Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System. This island jewel harbors your own private sanctuary, a casually elegant villa designed for just one couple, with the all-inclusive service of a luxury resort. There is a second master suite should you wish to share Gladden with friends or family. Our staff resides unseen on the smaller island behind the guest island across the Gladden lagoon, ready to respond to any request at a moment’s notice. A “privacy meter” indicates if a member of the team is on the main island for any reason, because we want our guests to feel free to be themselves. There are no other neighbors – it’s just you and the views.
While you’re ensconced in our casually luxurious 3,000-square-foot villa, you’ll never spot a neighbor. But you will be greeted with stunning views from every room. Stand in the entryway and let your eyes wander across the swimming pool to the coral reef beyond. Slip into the master suite, a soothing enclave of dark woods complemented by wide windows overlooking the ocean. Climb to the roof terrace to soak up the sun and bask in the panorama of aquamarine lagoons as far as the eye can see.
Dine on local specialties prepared by a roster of guest chefs from celebrated kitchens around the world. Swim with whale sharks at nearby Gladden Spit, one of the few places where these gentle giants congregate each spring. Book a spa treatment or boat charter through your personal concierge.
While most private island experiences require jetting to the far reaches of the globe, Gladden Private Island delivers the natural beauty and tranquility of a Polynesian atoll with a minute travel time of less than four hours from Miami.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Helicopter transfer on arrival from Belize City to the island for stays of 7 nights or more.
Domestic Flights for all guests (Belize City to Placencia/Placencia to Belize City)
Speed boat transfers from and to the island.
Exclusive use of the entire island.

- "My wife and I stayed at Gladden Island 7/12/19 – 7/19/19. From the moment we arrived, we knew that we were in for a very special trip. The staff were absolutely amazing and tended to every need we could imagine. The food was fabulous! On Tuesday, I asked the chef if she had ever heard of a Pecan Pie (my favorite). She said she had not, but she would research it. That night, she had a full size Pecan Pie waiting for us for our dessert. The daily massages for fantastic. We snorkeled and spent lots of time in the pool and reading books. The island has Apple TV along with a surround sound system so that you can play music throughout the island and the inside and outside. I would highly suggest this for couples who lead an incredibly busy life and need to get way to unplug and rest and unwind!"

- "Nice" - "Great location - super clean and comfortable - great swimming pool." - "The accomodation was even better than we Imagined from the description and photos. The accomodation is on the 1st floor. The ground floor is occupied by the housemanager and his family. You will not notice them during your stay unless you need something or advice from Reuben. We had seen on the photos that there is a pool but to our pleasant surprise it is much bigger than we thought. The pool and the whole deck surrounding it (including a comfortable loungeset., an outdoor walk-in shower, a bathroom, and a gas bbq) is solely yours to use during your stay despite it being on the ground floor. It gives.a sublime view of the lagoon and harbour and beautiful sunsets. The first floor itself has it's own huge balcony with a dining set and another loungeset. From here you maybe have an even better view than from the pooldeck. There's also a covered roofterrace with a bench from which I imagine you might even have a better view but we never used it. The 'house' itself is very well kept, modernly equipped with everything you need, including aircos throughout the house, dishwasher and for those who can't be bothered with beautiful weather, views, pool etc. there's even a flatscreen tv. The beds were very comfortable. The grounds are fenced so.safe for uou and your car. Not that I.otherwise would feel unsafe. It's an easy.5-10 minute stroll to a supermarket, atm, Buba Wubas bar and grill or the boardwalk including the most popular beachbars Tipsy Tuna and Barefoots."

- "What an incredible experience! The Golden Spot was the perfect destination for my family’s Caribbean vacation. The private pool & beach, kayaks, paddle boards, staff (including a Chef!!) we’re all amazing. The complimentary golf cart made rides into the Village fun for the whole family. Beautifully decorated… and friendly hosts…. we can’t wait to go back again!" - "This house is even better than the pictures! It was amazing! We were greeted by the wonderful staff, Kelly, Marvin and chef Juan. They are so sweet and quickly became our friends. We did one snorkel trip then stayed at the house and enjoyed the golf cart, kayaks and paddle boards. There were so many spaces at the house and all very luxurious. We will for sure be back again!"
