Palmetto Garden cottage-Pool, AC, free paddleboards

Velento Rentals Management presents:

The Palmetto Garden Cottage at Palmetto Beach, Avenida Mangle, Caye Caulker, Belize.

This really beautiful addition is spacious and can actually accommodate 4 guests with a futon in the living room. You can have the King bed separated into two twins if you request it. Also a Queen Futon in the living room for extra sleeping capacity. We built the bathroom so that it can be entered both through the bedroom and separately from the living room for privacy, there are large bright windows and French doors opening out onto a Palapa covered deck you enjoy a beautiful Palm Grove which is lit up at night. Weezies cafe is on the property. Although not beach front, the sea is on just around the corner of this house.

Right on your door step is a tranquil palm grove with BBQ facilities including picnic tables and a giant Jenga game. Paddle boards and kayaks are available for free, Beer can be bought at the front desk by the bottle, the bucket or a whole case. You can also rent bikes and golf carts at the front desk or book tours with anyone of the many tour operators on the island for fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving or sunset sailing cruises, our staff are there to help. Bikes are available to rent at US $7.50 per bike, per day, We also rent golf carts but supply is limited. We recommend you reserve with us in advance.

We have a pool shared with our other guests however the best feature we have found is the huge dock we built running some 300 feet out to sea with sunbathing pods built off the sides as well a huge swimming deck at the end and a large Palapa to shade you from the sun. We built a beach which you can hang out on as well with loungers and Palapa covered tables as well as corn hole and ladder Toss games to entertain you. The whole dock, beach and poolside decks are covered with chaise lounges complete with comfortable mattresses. We have staff on site throughout the day and a Security guard on hand at night to ensure your safety. Our onsite office hours are 8:00 :AM - 7:00pm, so that someone is always on hand to help with your needs. You have easy access to the Beach Road, which will take you right into the center of town by either a 5-10 minute bike ride, or a 10- 15 minute walk, but the location remains quiet and secluded; a bit of the Caye Caulker of old!!!

Amazing Experience!
We spent three nights here at the end of November 2024 and wished we had more time! The unit was spacious, staff were friendly and accommodating, and everything was nice and clean. We are considering bringing family back and staying in one of the larger units.

Great Place
The apartment was as described, very clean, very good air conditioner, which is needed in the tropical climate. The pool was quite good. They had a nice little restaurant five steps away, which was also quite good and convenient. That large pier is an excellent feature, and even had Wi-Fi out on the dock. This is probably one of the nicest places to stay on the island!

Only one complaint
Our experience here was absolutely fabulous with one exception. The unit we stayed had another unit above it. No fault of the people staying there but it sounded as if a whole football team was practicing up there and perhaps going to come through the roof. There seems to be very little insulation between the upper and lower units. Just a heads up for others that f this is the type of thing that can take a wonderful property and stay and the rn t into not such a great experience. It was annoying at times but we didn’t spend enough time in the unit for it to cause us any distress. We would definitely return!!

Slice of heaven
We had a fantastic stay at the Palmetto Beach cottage. It was very clean & had everything we needed. It was also a large spacious area! The large bottles of water were a perk. Being so close to the lovely pool & amazingly long dock was fabulous! Tim & Debbie were ALWAYS prompt with replying to any questions we had prior to our trip. We would definitely go back in a heart beat!

Great Cottage.
Overall great property .Beautifully maintained grounds. Easy communication with owners. Comfy beds. Fully stocked kitchen. Awesome dock. As stated in previous reviews, the cottage is quite dark but that also helps keep it cool during the day. The walls are a little on the thin side and unfortunately the family upstairs were heavy walkers. We downloaded sound machines on our phone to help drown out the nighttime noise. Even with that slight issue I would definitely stay there again.

Lovely Cottage
My wife and I stayed here for a week and we absolutely loved it. We felt safe and secure and had many conveniences at our fingertips. There’s a restaurant 10 steps from the front door of this cottage and extra water and Belikin (for purchase) on request! The cottage was clean and maintained and had a lot of privacy with the privacy shades you can draw down. You have to walk around the back of the cottage to get to the pool but who cares! It was fantastic and we would stay here again and again. Town is a short bike ride away and the nearest grocery store is maybe a three minute bike ride. We loved the pier with the loungers and even saw sting rays swimming around the pier our first morning. There’s a lot of Sargasssum (looks like a seaweed/algae) floating in the sea right now and it has an odor but that’s the whole island, not the fault of location or anything else. Only complaint was that it’s very close to the island airport and planes start taking off and landing a little on the early side so it will wake you. No big deal to us, though. Overall, stay here! It’s, affordable, clean and so fantastic!

Lovely haven slightly removed from main hub
The Palmetto cottage was lovely. Clean, modern, reasonably stocked with the basics. Very organized setup and conscientious communication ahead of arrival. It's a short (15min) walk to the main drag of Caye Caulker but this also makes the area a bit quieter. Would recommend.

Perfect introduction to Belize
My husband and I stayed here as our first stop in Belize. It is very close to the airport, clean, the AC is a lifesaver, and the apartment had all we could need. The pool was lovely and my husband loved the dock. Staff suggested we visit the Pelican Sunset bar and it was our favorite go to spot. Overall a great stay.

Property was nicely appointed but very dark. Access to pier was great. Location quiet but easy walk to restaurants and activities. Infrastructure on Caye Caulker broke down and management was not very attentive or helpful. We managed but this definitely colored our experience.

Quiet and clean
Property owner has great communication. Enjoyed our stay in this quiet area of Caye Caulker. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Only had one issue which was being stranded at the water taxi dock waiting for the promised taxi to take us to the property (management confirmed via email but did not follow through) we quickly got over it and enjoyed our vacation.

Quaint and quiet!
Loved our stay at Palmetto Beach Cottage. We stayed in the lower unit which was spacious, cool and well equipped. The bed is VERY comfortable! I would recommend for this reason only. The dock and swimming pool were great with comfortable loungers, very refreshing. The location is on the “outskirts” of town but don’t shy away for that reason. The serenity is worth it. You can get anywhere on the island in under 10 minutes on la bike, which is a fun way to explore. We loved Caye Caulker and Palmetto Beach Cottages. Ciecie is very helpful... she drove us in to town on our first night on a golf cart and recommended several places to grab supper and groceries. She also rented us our bikes.

Fantastic Time!
We had a wonderful experience staying with Michael. The place was exactly as expected, a little tight for four adults but again, as we expected. The bed in the bedroom was comfortable and you couldn’t even tell it was two twin beds pushed together. The futon in the living room was super comfortable for what it was, much better than expected. We had new towels, both bath and beach, whenever needed, and getting new water for the room was very easy. They were very accommodating to our needs. The room was also very clean when we arrived and the AC worked great. It was so nice to come back after a day in the sun to a nice cold room. We rented bikes for the entire stay and that was definitely necessary. We used them constantly to go back and forth between our room and town. This was close enough to town to be easy to get to on a bike and far enough to escape the noise and majority of other tourists. We spent a lot of our time out on the dock as the chairs were really comfy and it was easy to get in and out of the water there. We enjoyed hanging out there during the day and were happy to have a quiet place to hang out. We also went out on the dock most nights and there was security around at night. We overall really enjoyed the island and can’t wait to go back. We highly recommend checking out Wish Willy’s for dinner, this was everyone’s favorite place to eat by far. We also enjoyed Dee D’s and Belizean Flavas for dinner. For lunch we ate food from people on the street and it was always good. We took snorkel tours with Scuba Sensation, Raggamuffin Tours and Carlos. We had a great experience with all three. We will definitely be back some time in the future!

Wanna get away?
This cottage within sight of the Caribbean Sea and beach was a great location to headquarter on Caye Caulker. We did plenty of walking to shops and restaurants/bars. No cars made it relaxing, and the rum punch was even better when knowing you didn't have to drive anywhere! The people of Belize are great, and the property managers were available to tend to your every need. Do not hesitate to stay here!

The property was beautiful, safe and perfect for our 2 children and us.
We loved riding bikes, sitting on our porch in the evening, and embracing the motto of the island “go slow”. Michael, Cece and the whole staff were kind, courteous, and helpful. We can’t wait to go back and would stay at the Paletto house in a heartbeat.
