Charming Ocean-Front House: 10% DISCOUNT ON LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS!

Relaxing Island vibe with all the comforts of home! This unique octagonal house sits at tree top level just steps from the ocean on a quiet stretch of white sand beach 4 miles north of San Pedro; away from the tourist scene, but a short walk along the beach to wonderful restaurants, beach bars and a couple of little grocery stores. This is the ultimate location for diving, snorkeling or fishing, or just relaxing on the veranda looking out at the crystal clear turquoise water. There is a spectacular view of the waves breaking over the Meso American barrier reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world. We are a short golf cart ride to the lively San Pedro scene as well as many restaurants and beach bars along the way. We are located at the entrance to the famous (not so secret) Secret Beach road.The Tree House is the ideal spot for a romantic getaway, or for two couples or a small family. You’ll be living in a house, not a resort or condo, with all the comfort and privacy of home. The fully equipped kitchen will inspire you to prepare fresh caught fish and tropical fruit as you enjoy the ocean view. Both bedrooms have queen-sized beds. The living room is a comfortable place to relax and look out at the ocean. It has a couch that folds out to form a queen-sized bed. There is a 26 inch flat-screen TV with cable and multiple streaming platforms, and a Bluetooth speaker for your iPhone. and a landline. We have FiOS high-speed Internet. There is weekly maid service (or more frequently upon request). We have excellent air conditioning but the octagonal design and floor to ceiling windows of this unique house catch the ocean breezes so that our air-conditioning is seldom needed. Rubio, our caretaker, lives in a casita in the back of the property. You have your privacy, but he is there to assist you if needed. His chickens and friendly dogs give the place a homey, local feel. He will help you set up your kayak, or tell you the best places for snorkeling. The staff at Caye Management, our local management company, can answer any questions or book tours. They are available 24/7 in case of any problems. Our next door neighbor Geni at Coral Divers, is a dive master and tour guide. His boats sit next to our dock. Scuba Daze is nearby and can also arrange snorkeling and diving.
We try to be environmentally conscious and use plant based detergent and a minimum of plastic. Our water supply comes from rainwater stored in a cistern on the property. We ask that you bring a reusable water bottle. We provide a bubbler of bottled water to refill it. Please use the reusable shopping bags that we provide. You can swim or snorkel right off our dock. You can also take the kayaks out to the reef to swim and snorkel. Since they are sit-on-tops, it's not hard to get back in from the water. Or you can drive by golf cart to Secret Beach located directly across from us on the other side of the island. The staff at Caye management can arrange a golf cart rental. It is a great way to explore the island.

GETTING THERE:
Direct flights to Belize City International Airport leave from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Dallas, Houston and Atlanta. From there you can take a 15 minute flight to San Pedro airstrip on Tropic Air or Maya Air. Caye Management will book it for you. Or you can take a 30 minute taxi ride to the water taxi terminal and take the water shuttle to San Pedro, an hour and a half ride. A representative from Caye Management will meet you at San Pedro airstrip or the dock and take you up to the Tree House. The cost of transportation to the Tree House is included in the rental.

Perfect Family Getaway

I highly recommend the Tree House! Rubio was amazing and the location was perfect - far enough away from town to feel secluded but close enough to get groceries or eat at a local restaurant. The ocean breeze was lovely for sitting on the deck and reading. And the swimming and snorkeling couldn’t be beat. The house was comfortable, well equipped and there was ample space for all 4 of us.

Great for a small family

Our family of four stayed at the Treehouse and it was a wonderful spot for us to relax together! Communication with the host and management company was always prompt/helpful and we had access to everything we needed. We liked that the location wasn’t right in the middle of San Pedro- it felt a bit more low key to be away from the hustle and bustle but we could easily access everything by golf cart. The house was comfortable with beautiful views and we really enjoyed our stay!

What a wonderful place.

I would love to give 5 stars all around, but the sargassm was super disappointing. We booked this house for a relaxing ladies week and planned to relax, sunbath, and spend time in the water out front. Unfortunately, due to the sargassm, we were unable to spend any time in the water. Had we know that, we may have book another place. With thay said, the house was wonderful. Rubio deserves 5 starts. What a wonderful person. He not only took great care of us, but became a friend that we plan to keep in touch with. He was so accommodating, and joined us fornsome fun times at Secret Beach making sure we were safe and had fun. We will be back when the sargassm is gone.

Best. Treehouse. Ever.

Review:Our entire trip was unforgettable, thanks to Rubio! He went above and beyond, taking us on amazing excursions and making us feel completely spoiled. Having a personal tour guide added so much value to our experience.The VRBO itself was very clean and well-maintained. Having a caretaker like Rubio made it absolutely worth the price.A couple of tips: if you plan on spending time on the couch, bring a blanket for extra comfort. The AC was fantastic, keeping the space cool and comfortable.Outside the bustle of san pedro, this is absolutely a quiet, quintessential Caribbean destination. Closer to secret beach too! Overall, we highly recommend this VRBO—especially because Rubio truly made our stay exceptional!

Quiet, dreamy, wonderful

This house was immaculate and had everything possible to make a stay comfortable and fun. I loved this place and if I ever come back to the island, I will go for this place. The pelicans feed there, and watching them dive bomb the ocean was cooler than cool. Management was very helpful, even when I did something weird with my phone they were able to talk me through it. They got me to the grocery store, picked me up and took me back to the airport, had a golf cart delivered with the tolls already paid - I absolutely adore this property.Thank you to everyone who made the treehouse available!!!

Amazing

We stayed 7 nights 8 days our stay was amazing! Management & owner are quick to respond answered every question we had along with many recommendations! Rubio was nothing short of amazing also he took care of every need we had & went above expectations everyone has made comments about his dogs we had zero issues one is mouthy & barks at strangers but she never came close to us she kept her distance & barked. She was absolutely fine by the end she said her barks & went away we gave her space & left her alone. The water is so clear rught off the doc we kayak to the reef right from shore of the house. The road is rough but the whole islands roads are rough. Highly recommend this place and Management along with Rubio! We more than enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day!

Great little hideaway!

The tree house was a lovely place to stay for those looking to enjoy the beauty of Ambergris Cay on their own. We were well taken care of by the owner and management company including rental of our golf cart, arrangement for our flight to the island, and pick up at the airport. Rubio, who lived on the property, was present and accommodating when we needed him, but not obtrusive in any way. The interior of the tree house had everything we needed for a family of 3 including a comfortable living room and well-equipped kitchen (which we didn’t use much). The wrap around porch was fabulous and we spent many hours contemplating the world. The pictures are accurate and the location was terrific for trips to secret beach.

Wonderful stay at the Treehouse

We loved the Treehouse! So close to everything. Laying in the hammocks is sooo relaxing. Rubio is very helpful. He made us a wonderful fish/lobster dinner and a fantastic ceviche which we munched on for days. He goes out fishing almost everyday and so the seafood is fresh. Make sure you ask him how much it will cost. Him and his wife will cook up anything you want. The snorkeling was great and the grocery store right around the corner was convenient for small items. Thanks!

great house

beautiful place to stay but don't expect to swim too much off the dock. The water is shallow with lots of sea grass. Swimming farther out is a bit dangerous because of water taxi's speeding by. Otherwise wonderful. Would have loved to have bikes available to use instead of the hassle of having to find and rent them, but having a kayak to use was a great start. Gave it 4 stars rather than 5 for these reasons.

Great home base for exploring Ambergris Caye!

Our family has an amazing time staying at the tree house! Caye management was great to work with and arranged our flight, golf cart rental and transport to the house. Rubio was such a character and so helpful! Our kids loved having the dogs and chickens on the property! The house was comfortable and clean. The location is near the secret beach turn, so a good spot so we could head over there daily. The sargassum was in thick, so we couldn't use the beach or dock area. I am glad we were out of town so it made it easier to get to Secret beach! The house was further north than I expected, but I am glad about that. Overall a great experience!

Well equipped home, great views, friendliest people!

We had a great time. This is a spectacular property - well equipped with great views. Just close enough to San Pedro for access without the hustle and bustle. Rubio and his family are invaluable to this property. They help with any questions about Ambergris and are constantly helping with everything from bike rentals and dive trips to coconuts and fresh eggs! Genie, just 2 doors down, handled all of our dive and snorkeling trips and was incredibly flexible in accommodating everything we wanted to do and picking the best days for each activity. Each day began with the "burrito guy" providing breakfast and our trips departing from the dock just off the deck. Simply a spectacular trip and wonderful accomodations and people!

Relaxing beachfront escape

Our goal was to rest, relax and spend time as a family. The treehouse provided that opportunity where it was situated and was very comfortable more than meeting our needs. Each morning we watched a lovely sunrise on the porch while listening to the breakers on the barrier reef. We took long walks on the beach and utilized the kayaks and paddleboard together. We prepared meals together or enjoyed a meal at local restaurants. On site, Rubio was kind offering suggestions when we had questions. Also preparing coconuts for us to drink and assisting cooking on the fire pit for our last meal together before leaving. We were sad to go but also very thankful we achieved our goal!

Tropical Delight

This was my 2nd time at the Tree House. First was 13 years ago with a girlfriend; this time with my husband. We're in our 70s, but kids would also love it. My husband was so impressed with the circular design, allowing for wonderful sea breezes to keep us comfortable, & being elevated provided wonderful views. We didn't use the AC during the entire 2 weeks of our stay. I agree with a previous review that some upgrading is needed, but if you're ok with a "rustic" cottage kind of holiday, it will be fine. How many places have a full time on-site caretaker? Rubio is incredibly helpful & knowledgeable about the area. We felt very secure knowing he was around, along with his 2 dogs. There is so much I could mention - the wonderful sounds of chickens clucking, doves cooing, geckos chirping and hearing tropical birdsong. The views from the Tree House of the sea and barrier reef are outstanding. The location is great. Just a 25 minute bouncy ride south into town, or 30 minutes to the "not so secret" Secret Beach on the west side of the island, or 1 hour 15 minutes up-island to Tranquility Bay. Renting a golf cart is an additional cost, but well worth being able to get into town easily & to have the ability to explore. There are restaurants within walking distance as well as a grocery store. Mary at Caye Mgt is extremely helpful & responsive to questions. Angela comes every Wed & Sat to clean and do laundry if you want. We did, & she was great. Overall, a terrific place!

Fun at the Tree House!

My partner and I spent the first two weeks of February at the Tree House. I also welcomed my two adult children and a son in law for a week. It was exactly as described. It was clean, plenty of supplies, the beds were comfortable. I was a little concerned about having five adults living in a fairly small place, but everyone had a great time, and the size of our surroundings never caused an issue. We felt very safe in the area and enjoyed being a bit further north on the island. Rubio, the caretaker, took great care of us, in many ways. His knowledge of the area was so valuable. We would have had a much harder time getting acclimated without him. He took the two men spear fishing for lobster -which they loved- and even cooked the lobsters for us that night. Delicious. Thank you for everything, Rubio! Opting for a house, vs a resort, is the choice I always make when using VRBO. I want the privacy, and the flexibility a private home offers. I found it very easy to book private fishing excursions, and private snorkeling trips. Mary, from the management company, could not have been more helpful and patient. With three more people coming and going on separate days, she was able to make all the arrangements without a hitch. Thank you, Mary! When I come back to Ambergris Caye, I will be sure to stay at the Tree House again.

Loved the Tree House

My stay at the Tree House was wonderful. I loved my time there and highly recommend it. House: the beds were comfortable, the Kitchen had most of the basics and the view of the ocean just off the covered deck mesmerized me. One should note that the water does not get more than waist deep until about 200 feet from shore. Caretaker: Rubio is very responsive but also respects the guest's privacy. He kept an eye on us when we were snorkeling in the nearby reef; he listened for our golf cart and opened the gate whenever we came home, and he made recommendations on restaurants. For a very reasonable price, he would harvest and clean conch and, if we provided the ingredients, he would prepare ceviche. The only negative thing I have to say is about Rubio's dog. He has three large dogs and two are very sweet. The third, however, acts aggressively towards the guests or anyone walking past though to be fair I never saw her snap at anyone, it was all just noise. Location: There are no restaurants within walking distance and just two very small grocery stores. You either need to budget for taxis ($40 to town) or rent a golf cart in order to eat out or go anywhere. Activities: The snorkeling was fantastic and I recommend going to Mexico Rocks over Hol Chan. Note that Scuba Daze will pick you up on the dock. We also really enjoyed Caye Caulker and recommend a day trip. Finally, the Tree House is less than two miles from Secret Beach.

Tree House Experience

All in all, we really had a good time and are glad we went to Belize and stayed in the Tree House. The best part was the view of the ocean, the ocean breezes and Rubio the caretaker. The Tree House itself is a little run down but we weren't looking for upscale accommodations so it didn't really matter. We advise that they upgrade the window and door screening to keep insects out. The decking on the porches could be redone and the dock boards should definitely be redone. The appliances all worked fine, the kitchen was adequately supplied although sparse on spices etc. We felt a little cheated on the kayak experiences we were planning because the seating in the double kayak was broken down and we really couldn't use it as hoped. We were told that new seating was on its way this Spring. Rubio is a gem - he was helpful in so many ways and offered a sense of security that we appreciated. We were grateful for the timing of our trip because the sargassum grasses were just beginning to wash in at the end of our ten days there. We understand that they can get really bad in the Spring making swimming out front unpleasant as well as a bad smell to deal with. For me, the very best part was sleeping at night with all windows open to feel the breezes and hear the gentle waves - heavenly! We're glad we had the experience but not at all sure we would go back again.

Scott C., Battle Ground, WA

Didn't Perform As Advertised

The home was clean, and in a nice setting, except for the constant traffic of golf carts directly in front (between the porch and the beach). The home was supposed to have a kayak. I re-confirmed that fact before renting. The kayak was there, but unusable. It had no seats. The owner called and promised that the seats would "...be there tomorrow." The seats never arrived. The barbeque wouldn't light. No explanations. Be prepared to haul your luggage quite a distance. The boat ride from the airport ends at a long dock about 150 yards from the front door. There was no on-site person to assist with that chore. The only toilet in the home didn't flush properly, and it leaked onto the floor. Pair that with a handwritten message on a small wastebasket with a note to "put used toilet paper here," and you have an idea of the state of the bathroom. When I emailed the owner about the problem, she responded, "What can I say? It's part of the laid-back charm of Belize." Hardly... Basically, this property has potential, the view was nice, and it was carefully decorated. But it was not yet ready to rent. I have used VRBO a dozen times, with great results and honest portrayals of the state of the properties. But not this time.
