“This place is amazing! I loved it! The views were breathtaking, the ocean breeze was lovely & the beds were comfy. It was so nice to have kayaks & paddle boards waiting for us to use there. Edwin the caretaker was informative and helpful. He was truly available 24/7. The washing machine is in his caretaker quarters, and he was happy to wash a load of towels for me when I asked. Placencia has some fabulous restaurants, and a tasty gelato place called Tutti Fruity that should for sure be visited everyday! This was a wonderful trade & I would love to visit the Hummingbird House again soon!”

Thomas's reviews
As a host (4)“This is a gorgeous place in a spectacular location with a brilliant and personable caretaker and “guide” Edwin. I had read previous reviews about lack of air conditioning and laundry room. They seem irrelevant to me. The breezes coming off the water from both sides of the home and the many ceiling and floor fans do a great job of cooling the beautifully open and spacious home. Pack a few extra tee shirts and shorts and don’t think about laundry. This is a primo spot in a beautiful location. Great restaurants are a 5 minute boat ride away on Edwin’s boat. Or you could kayak or paddle board. ”
“The house is simply amazing. It had everything we could possibly need and the views were stunning. Edwin the caretaker took us too and from the hose whenever we needed and we were provided with a phone on which to contact him. Just note that there are two dogs, a cat and two young children also residing at the property so it was not as quite or as private as I assumed it would be.”
“Great location on the island with Edwin being very helpful on all matters relating to our stay. Normally I would be keen to give the property a strong 9 out of 10 but some short comings mean it achieves rather less. All can be easily improved though , a dish washer , better mattresses , a kettle , wine glasses , serving dish , ( only one saucepan ) , better cutlery and a more effective cork screw ! A clothes washer would also benefit Hummingbird House . We were only four persons staying , if we were a larger party , I would have found the extra time washing up tedious as it’s supposed to be a holiday . On that basis , I can only offer a six out of ten for the house - but as I said , all can be easily rectified by the owner and this would make Placencia and the Caye an ideal location for a holiday in the Spring . ”
