Precisely what we were looking for in a Belizean experience. Far from a cookie cutter hotel room. Herbert was very helpful in getting us acclimated to the area and respectful of our space. The location was perfect as we had access to a number of jungle and ocean activities. We highly recommend staying at Winters Avalon!

we went during the slower season maya beach the house winter avalon was amazing would stay there again highly recommended. they had maps guides to all the right places plus the ones we found on our own maya beach bistro amazing food,and service. enjoyed all aspects of our exsperience.

We truly enjoyed our stay in this rustic “treehouse.” The home is so very charming and our hosts were very accommodating. Herbert and Simone were very gracious and adorable, to boot. The home came with kayaks and bikes. While we never used the bikes, we kayaked every morning, bright and early. The house is situated on a lagoon with a small dock and Adirondack chairs to sit and enjoy your morning coffee. It was also the launching pad for the kayaks. The house is well equipped and ideally situated for morning walks to the ocean and local resorts which are opened to the public. I highly recommend this rustic slice of heaven. Truly a great way to live and take in the Belizean style.

We felt like we were in a treehouse! There is nothing but amazing to describe Winter's Avalon. The location was secluded and peaceful. Herbert and Simone were so helpful. Thank you for a wonderful week! We'll be back!

Look no further, this is it! We wanted an authentic rustic place to stay vs a hotel and can’t say enough how perfect this spot is. We used bikes everyday to go to the Ocean Club pool and beach- only a 5 minute ride. Walking to dinner was easy and fun. We even rode our bike to Naia Resort for a spa treatment and birthday dinner. The house comes with Kyaks that you can put right out on the creek dock. We did not bring our kids but next time we will. Very safe and they would have loved this jungle hut. I recommend river tubing through barefoot tours, they picked us up right on oour street. Simone was awesome! Greeted as we arrived and took great care of us. We had great memories here.

Enjoyed our stay at this unique property. Essentially a screened porch with and enclosed bedroom/bathroom in the middle. Beautiful breezes throughout and very comfortable. Herbert and Simone were wonderful hosts and a wealth of local knowledge! Only thing that would make this place better would be a microwave.

We had such a time getting from the airport to our rental car, and then finding our way around Belize (which isn't hard, if you use a map). We arrived here at night, which made things get off to a rough start because there isn't street lights. But then when we found our way, to say the least.. We were blown away. Then after an amazing sleep, we woke up to experience it all over again, Just in day light. What a amazing start to our trip, we owe it all to this place. Bed is comfortable, there's fans everywhere! Which is amazing! the wrap around deck with kitchen was amazing! Our host were very friendly and informative on the area and market timelines. The area surrounding the house was breath taking, sun sets to sunrise- just glorious. coffee in the morning having a sit on the dock watching birds and fish in the canal or looking out on the lagoon at sunset, just a few of the many treats. The store just around the corner had everything you could need and then some! Lots of restaurants near by, which vary in pricing- just look around on google. There's even bowling down the road! we never got around to that- but how cool! The beaches are all fantastic, its all crown land- so you can go on to any beach front you want, 60' from shore front to land (look it up, it may not be exactly 60' but damn near). Placencia was the near by town, which was really cool and it had markets to purchase local produce.

Great house and view. 15 minutes from palencia and walking distance to maya beach. Quiet and everything you need at the house to cook or just chill. Would stay again.

Many times in Belize, first stay at Maya Beach. Best village on the peninsula if you want classic Belize feel. Developers are actively developing the entire peninsula at a rate I have never seen anywhere before, but Maya Beach still retains some character. The house was perfect for us. Set back away from the highway. Nestled next to a canal with a dock. Main floor is on concrete stilts about 12’ in the air. Exterior walls are all screens. This creates a 9’ deep screened porch around the large bedroom/bathroom suite in the center. Everything is Belizian hardwoods, some painted some clear finished. The porch are contained a well equipped kitchen, living and eating areas. Best of all was the large enclosed3rd floor level. From their you can see around you 360 degrees. This includes views of the lagoon and sunset over the Maya mountains to the west. Herbert and Simone are the property managers and live nearby. They were great to work with and had a wealth of information about the entire peninsula and any activity that we wanted to do. We left there yesterday and I miss it already.

We loved this place - very comfortable and Herbert and Simone were perfect hosts. It is within easy reach of the beach and a short drive to Placencia but tucked away so very peaceful. The view over the lagoon is superb!
