Cheap House for rent in Belize

House; Oceanfront; Secluded, Off-Grid; Private; The Indigo Pearl is one of the sturdiest homes on the island. It is a three-level home, so the top level apartment sits above the palm tree level - therefore having extraordinary views. Because each level has a wraparound porch on three sides, you have a nearly 360 degree view of the sea, the surrounding islands, passing boats and truly incredible sunsets. As you look at the photo of our house you can see that the top level is for guests, the middle level is an apartment that is unused, and the bottom level is storage. Do not choose us if you want to be 'pampered' - choose our house if you love adventure and you want to live as Belizeans do. If you DON'T need A/C or a TV, and if you DO enjoy riding bikes, and you DON'T mind being a 15 min. bike ride from the edge of town, and if you DO like getting some exercise, and if you are NOT afraid of inadvertently crushing a crab with your bike tire, and you DO value peace, beauty, open spaces, and an unbelievable panoramic view over the sea, then we think you would LOVE our house. We personally live in 10 acres of secluded land in Illinois, and we love being away from crowds. We like the opportunity to go to town when we want to, but otherwise we value privacy. That is why we choose this location. It is exactly what we love, and we want to share it with others who enjoy peace and quiet and beauty also. Our goal is the happiness of you - our guest!!! It's been a learning curve for us to realize that not everyone thinks like we do or values what we do. We want it to be perfectly clear that our house is not fancy - those places are on the nearby traffic jammed island of Ambergris Caye. Our house is simple and clean. We have made HUGE improvements to our house since we first purchased it. Our daughter lived at the house for nearly a year after we purchased it, and she absolutely treasured her days there. Caye Caulker is fabulous - come with a sense of adventure! Don't expect life as in the U.S. and you will be pleasantly surprised. Caye Caulker is a very simple island. If you want the uniqueness of the sand streets and the no-cars atmosphere, then please don't expect luxury. Enjoy the little island for its simplicity and you will be happy. All you need are a few changes of clothes, croc shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, insect repellent, (we are in a jungle in Central America!!) a swimsuit and a willingness to try something new and fun! The restaurants are unique, amazing, and friendly - just like the locals here! You may eat out at the many quaint restaurants or, you may shop at one of the 5 local tiny grocery stores and cook back 'at home.' The half-acre surrounding the house is sandy with a lovely assortment of palms and coconut trees. The Indigo Pearl Guesthouse is peacefully located at the quiet south-end of the island, directly on the coastline overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean, and offering absolutely stunning views of the Caribbean sea, AND gorgeous sunsets! Our location is large and secluded, directly on Indigo Bay. Bike (15 minutes), walk (25 minutes), or rent a golf-cart to go the 1 mile to the edge of the quaint, small local town via an authentic, rough (sometimes wet) and bumpy jungle path along the coast. Enjoy a friendly, laid back, barefoot, local scene of restaurants, stores, bars, beaches & dive shops, or, water-taxi to nearby Ambergris Caye Island (the busy town of San Pedro). Local snorkel trips are small groups, inexpensively priced, & STUNNING! (there is even a trip to swim with sharks & pet sting rays.) The opportunities for relaxation OR for fun are endless!!! Our home is off-grid; The power to run the electricity comes from a combination of solar panels and a wind generator on the roof. This energy from the wind and the sun is then stored in a large bank of batteries. (The refrigerator, stove and on-demand water heater are powered by butane.) We conserve energy and all of our water comes from a huge water catchment system, which captures the rain and filters it for pure drinking water. The showers are nice and warm, as we have an on-demand water heater for the shower. We are located on the southern tip of the island of Caye Caulker, and nestled in Indigo Bay, which is seen on any map as the indent - area at the southwest area of the island's tip. Our house is right on the waters edge, and we have a very old and rustic pier which extends out 30 feet into the sea. The views off...
