Beautiful inside and out! Perfect place to lounge on the beach, listen to music at the tiki bar, and swim off the dock. Hosts were incredibly warm, friendly, and attentive, anticipating our needs before we even knew we had them. They will regularly pop by to check in on you, but they never feel intrusive. They are also very responsive to requests. And they even bought some food items to start us out. Hosts also act as concierge; they will help you set up tours and excursions. When booking snorkeling and fishing adventures through them, they will pick you up right at the dock. Another bonus, the hosts can book a private chef to come to the house to cook dinners. She is an excellent cook and her prices are very reasonable.

Perfect home set on the perfect beach. Hosts were super helpful and there when you needed them, otherwise it was very private. The private beach bar is key for hanging out (why would you ever want to be inside in Belize?) and the dedicated dock is wonderful for morning coffee and taking in the beautiful Caribbean. Beds were comfortable and the house has everything you need. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here, 10 stars! Thank you to Dean, Mark, Sabrina and the Get To Know Belize Crew, we had a memorable and fantastic time!!!

Mark, Sabrina and Dean were amazing hosts. They work together well to ensure you are well taken care of. They really know how to make you feel welcome. They stayed up late to greet us, woke up early to say good bye. We received great recommendations from them all. We loved our stay. Watching the fish and manatees at night from the pier was such a highlight and not to mention the incredible bar and fresh coconut water from the coconuts.

We just got home from 8 wonderful days at Villa Rising Sun. Such outstanding hospitality! The house is very comfortable and more than enough room for just 2 of us. Comfy beds & a well equipped kitchen. You step out right onto the beach and just a few steps from the water. With a private beach bar and dock that goes out into the ocean, it feels very personal and private. Watching the fish swim at night off the end of the dock was a real treat. We were offered personal service every step of the way. We were unfortunate to have a day delay in our arrival because of canceled flights and they arranged to have dinner waiting for us since we arrived late in the evening. They arranged for several outstanding day adventures (Get To Know Belize Adventures...highly recommend). It felt like we were staying with friends! Hopkins is a fun small village with some of the friendliest people I've seen anywhere. We hope to return.
