Guest Reviews Caye Caulker Rentals
Caye Caulker Rentals Guestbook
"We are extremely pleased with the professionalism of Kim and his staff's approach to business. He was helpful and informative whenever we had questions. Barb and I highly recommend Kim's top notch services. One of the residents of CC told us "Kim gets it" and we couldn't agree more. Rest assured he will do anything in his power to ensure that you have a great stay on Caye Caulker.
Kim gets two thumbs up from Mike and Barb"
"We took our first family vacation to Caye Caulker with our two year old son and it couldn't have been better thanks to Ruby and Kim at Caye Caulker Rentals. We stayed at the Coconut Grove House which is a quiet and relaxing haven on the south side of the island. Amazing sunsets, ocean breezes, and rustling palms in a secluded coconut grove just a quick bike ride or nice walk into the main area of town. Ruby and Kim went the extra mile to make it a great and stress free trip for us by organizing a travel crib for our son to sleep in, having our rental bikes with child seat out at the house the night we arrived so we wouldn't have to trek in the next morning to pick them up, and having taxis to meet us both at the airport in Belize City as well as to pick us up when we got to the island, take us to the grocery store, and point out the key spots before taking us to our island home. It was paradise, and without having to worry about all the little details, we could truly enjoy our precious time away from our hectic city lives. Kim recommended all the best restaurants on the island and gave us all the information we needed to have a safe and wonderful time on Caye Caulker. I can't wait to go back and I highly recommend using Caye Caulker rentals especially if its your first time to Belize since they are so knowledgeable and genuine."

"If you are looking for an immersion into the island way of life, Caye Caulker is the place you want to visit and Caye Caulker Rentals is the company you want to book with. Kim and his staff are dedicated to making your stay one that will have you planning your return before you leave. He gives you a full spectrum of insights on restaurants, diving outfits, snorkeling tours, and everything you need to know about Caye Caulker. My wife and I followed his recommendations, and they never missed. Thanks, Kim."

"Just wanted to drop you a note to say a big THANKS for making our trip to Belize so much fun.
Your concierge level of service was outstanding and all your insights were spot on and made our trip that much more enjoyable."

"Caye Caulker Rentals help to make our vacation extra relaxing. The cottage that we rented was ideally located on the south side of Caye Caulker where we enjoyed a constant breeze, privacy, and a quiet beach front. The cottage was clean and well kept. The management, in particular Kim Laursen, answered all of our questions and made sure we had everything that we needed during our stay. Caye Caulker Rentals responded promptly to our emails when trying to book our cottage, which made making reservations very easy. They arranged for an airport shuttle when we landed as well as bikes for us to use on the Caye. Kim also had great recommendations for snorkeling and eating while on the Caye. Overall, we were very pleased and look forward to booking with Caye Caulker rentals again."

"We stayed on Caye Caulker last month, and were very pleased with the accommodations provided by Caye Caulker Rentals! Many thanks to Kim for all of your assistance, excellent service, and recommendations! We stayed at the Reef House and at Alta Vista. Both houses were great and more than met our family's needs. The houses were very well kept, clean, and furnished nicely. Our favorite was either the beautiful wrap-around balconies and hammocks at Reef House or the rooftop patio at Alta Vista. Both provided a great place to relax with a cold Belikin! We will definitely recommend your rentals to friends in the future. Thanks again for a great trip this summer!"
Jason Cronk - Boise, ID US
"My husband and I recently took a trip to Caye Caulker and had a wonderful experience made possible by the great accommodations and services provided by Caye Caulker Rentals. We were greeted at the airport by a friendly driver who took us to the water taxi and were met at the water taxi and taken to our rental. Everything was safe and easy which allowed us to truly enjoy the scenery. The rental was clean and in great condition and looked exactly as pictured on the website. What was even better was the helpful advice and assistance in planning the many excursions we took during our stay. The services provided by Caye Caulker Rentals were invaluable and helped to make our trip the best possible experience we could have had. Thank you Cay Caulker Rentals for helping to make our vacation truly something special!"
Shannon Chang
"Just wanted to thank you for all your help while in Caye Caulker. Your driver, Tyrone, picked us up right on time at the Belize City Municipal Airport and was very helpful in getting us over to the Marine Terminal for our water taxi. He's a keeper. I certainly did not expect that you would be there at the dock in Caye Caulker to greet us, but what a wonderful surprise! Check in was a breeze. Never so easy! It was nice to visit with you while on vacation. Not something we normally do, so that tells you how much we appreciated your company.
Overall, your service before we got there, with the numerous emails going back and forth and while we were there was first class. I would highly recommend your service to anyone who plans a vacation on Caye Caulker."

"Kathy and I spent our vacation at the Alta Vista house on Caye Caulker. We enjoyed the entire trip from beginning to end.
Alta Vista is a wonderful house in a serene and lovely setting; well cared for by the owners, Annette and John. We liked the out-of-the-way location, only a short bike ride from restaurants and groceries yet, in a quiet neighborhood.
After purchasing staples and groceries it was easy to set up housekeeping and to cook meals as we wished. The house is designed with good ventilation in mind and we only used the air conditioner occasionally. We especially enjoyed the multiple decks on the house-on three different levels. The roof deck is a wonderful place to enjoy a cuppa in the morning or to relax and watch the sunset of an evening. I especially enjoyed the 2nd floor deck on the east to sit and strum guitar in the afternoon.
Kim was a good communicator from beginning to end. On the first day, he gave us a briefing outlining realistic expectations and how best to integrate into the flow of the island culture. Kim went out of his way to help me acquire a guitar during my stay; in fact, he went so far as to offer his own valuable instrument if he couldn’t come up with one to rent.
The local population are universally friendly, helpful, and above all, patient with all the Newbies/Shoebies invading their beaches each week. I can only say that they must dread Sundays and Mondays-lots of silly questions to answer for the first couple of days from the new arrivals."

Beachside Cottage Rental Guestbook
"My wife and I returned to the Beachside Cottage after an 8-year absence in order to celebrate our 10th anniversary. In the intervening years, the cottage has been nicely upgraded; new floors, 2 bicycles, A/C in the bedroom, security bars on the windows, and a bathroom remodel. There is also a security guard (Cesar) employed on the weekends until midnight. As the cottage is south of the main strip and airport on Caye Caulker, it is nice and secluded, just as my wife and I like. The addition of the security measures really have removed any worries of being bothered though retained the peaceful atmosphere that keeps bringing us back. I would highly recommend this little piece of paradise if you are in the more "mature" age group and appreciate your privacy. Kim Laursen really provided personalized service, and all of the people on the island go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect. Next time we're bringing the kids. Thanks!

Carolyn's House Vacation Rental Guestbook:
"Carolyn’s House was perfect for us. It was far enough away from the main town, but not too far away that we were worn out from walking. The people were friendly and the food was great. Kim was very helpful in regards to the house and helping us with information for side excursions. Chris enjoyed his morning catching Barracuda with Ash, who then cooked dinner for us with the fish Chris caught. We loved our diving/snorkeling experience with Scuba Sensations (Bert), another suggestion from Kim. Overall, a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Caye Caulker to anyone wanting to relax."
Robyn & Chris
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Caye Caulker. Carolyn's House was in a great location, convenient to town but away from the main traffic areas and right on the water. It was very clean, well kept and comfortable and we spent many hours sitting on the front deck enjoying the breeze and the view. Kim's advice and recommendations on activities and restaurants was well appreciated and always spot-on. He also helped set up day trips to the main land for cave tubing, zip-lining and sight-seeing.
We truly can't say enough great things about our stay, we were so reluctant to return home, and we look forward to our next visit. We will definitely go through Caye Caulker Rentals in the future and would recommend them to anyone thinking about visiting Belize. "
Leilah & Zeth DeVore
"I just wanted to thank you so much for everything you did for us to make our stay on Caye Caulker as pleasant as possible. Carolyn's House was so unbelievably perfect for the type of vacation we wanted. It was clean, comfortable, private, had a gorgeous view of the beach, with a very convenient kitchen that we used all the time. You were so helpful in your recommendation for dining, Juni was an absolutely incredible guide for snorkeling, and you helped us out by letting us use your bikes. (And you have a wonderful dog who I very much enjoyed.)
Hope you are doing well and enjoying the beautiful place you live. Best of luck to you and we will hopefully be in a position to be able to visit again soon!"
Ruta Jane and Bret Comegys
"My boyfriend and I stayed at "Carolyn's House" on Caye Caulker for five nights. We had a fabulous time enjoying the gorgeous view, adorable house and convenient access to the neighbors dock right out front. Kim and Ruby were very nice and helpful with booking and getting us settled into our beach bungalow. We felt that Carolyn's house was close enough to easily walk or ride bikes to the main drag but also far enough away to give us peace and quiet when we wanted. Our rental was clean and comfortable, the view was spectacular and the reasonable price was well worth it. I highly recommend Caye Caulker Rentals to anyone planning to stay on Caye Caulker and I will book with them again when we go back."
Jaime
"We can't recommend Carolyn's House enough. It is perfectly designed, with windows on all four sides letting in a lovely cooling breeze. The exterior and interior are beautifully finished and the shower was the best shower experience we've ever had during our extensive Central & South America travels. It is far enough down the beach to be away from the hustle & bustle of the town, yet still a comfortable stroll away, and we spent many relaxing hours on the veranda reading, greeting the occasional passers by and just taking in the amazing sea-and-palm-tree view."

Casa Amancer Home Rental Guestbook
"Kim, I returned from Belize today after a very pleasant week at Casa Amancer (should be Casa Amanecer en español). Kay and I enjoyed all its amenities and got the laid back week we were hoping for. An added bonus was the lack of rain for the entire time we were there. Just wanted to thank you for facilitating our arrival and providing the service ‘as advertized’ on your website. There were no surprises or hidden costs and the property description and pictures accurately portrayed the rental unit. Best wishes as you continue to grow the business!"
Alan
"We just came back from our best vacation ever!!! We spent 14 days on Caye Caulker at Casa Amancier which we rented through Caye Caulker Rentals. Kim who owns and operates Caye Caulker Rentals was amazing and took great care of us from start to finish from the first contact through emails all the way until the day we checked out. He was available and helpful to ensure we had what we needed throughout our stay and his local knowledge and recommendations were never disappointing. Being our first visit to Belize and Caye Caulker Kim had someone meet us at the airport (Jason, great guy!!) and take us to the water taxi in Belize city and then he personally met us at the water taxi dock (with Fred to take our bags to our place) once we arrived on Caye Caulker and got us checked in. It was nice to have a few friendly faces waiting for us to make us feel comfortable and get acclimated to our new surroundings. The service that Kim and Caye Caulker Rentals provided was above and beyond and added a nice personal feel that set the tone for our great stay on the island. If your ever in Caye Caulker look them up as they will take good care of you."

Casa Rosado Cabin Rental Guestbook
"Caye Caulker Rentals is a class act. Kim was always available, helpful, and accommodating. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the folks at Caye Caulker Rentals made sure we were well taken care of. Kim's knowledge of the island made our trip much easier and enjoyable. We also had an amazing time at Casa Rosado! It was a lot of fun to watch folks play "football" and to hang out with a local family of geckos. We highly recommend Caye Caulker Rentals to anyone who is considering visiting the island."
Kelly & Nuria
Casa Rosado Cabin Rental Guestbook
"Very nice, cute and clean. Good location for walking to and from everywhere on the island. Belize is a fantastic place to travel to and having a little private cottage to return to at the end of a great day makes things that much more perfect. Kim was very patient and went above and beyond in getting my friend and I set up in a place we were comfortable in at the last minute. Great place to stay!"

Casita Carinosa Home Rental Guestbook
"We spent our honeymoon at the Coconut Grove on Caye Caulker. We enjoyed our stay and accommodations so much we knew that when we started planning our second trip; the accommodations would be the easiest part of our planning. Simple, go to Caye Caulker Rental's web site, pick out where you wish to stay, send email, call with deposit; done!
We chose to stay at the Casita Carinosa on this trip as the layout could accommodate our diverse group; consisting of a married couple, a single gentleman and two ladies. The Casita Carinosa has a main house with a living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and bath. The other two bedrooms are accessed via doors on the veranda and share a bath. A key is issued to those who are staying in these rooms so they have access to the main house and common areas as well.
When we arrived in Caye Caulker (after flying into Tropical Storm Alex) we were taxied to the rental office - paid for our accommodations, then off to the house. EASY! We found the house in perfect condition - extremely clean. The bathrooms were spotless. Thank You, Consuela! The bedrooms have space enough for folded / hanging clothes and luggage. All bedrooms are MORE THAN adequately air conditioned. After a long day on the water it was really nice to crawl into those fancy sheets! The pool is kept exceptionally clean - almost to the point of obsession. Seemed everytime we saw even a leaf in the pool - the next thing we saw was Dion (pool caretaker) or Amanda.
Ruby & Kim did not disappoint us - the fridge/freezer was stocked with a case of Belikin, a bottle of One Barrel rum and coke - EXACTLY what we had asked for!
The free wifi service was such a bonus and was appreciated by all. All of us commented on how safe we felt at the Casita Carinosa.
During our stay we met the couple staying at Amanda's Place, Bruce & Kaz and took the opportunity to check out their digs too. Very nice! As a matter of fact, we are emailing and Face Booking each other all the time. We are even planning a trip to California to go visit them and meet up again in Caye Caulker.
Bet you know where we will all be staying! That's right.. any property Caye Caulker Rentals has to offer. As the old saying goes, 'It doesn't get any better than this!'
Thanks again for making our well deserved vacation such a pleasure!"

Cielo Azul Vacation Cabana Guestbook
"The house was very clean and modern. The location was perfect for getting to either end of the island. It was the ideal set up for 2 people travelling at a laid back pace. As a frequent traveller I know that the place you stay affects your trip and this made an already fantastic trip to Belize that much better. Kim's recommendations were great. I will definitely book rentals through Caye Caulker Rentals again. I give the house five stars!"
Jill Walker, Alaska
Cococut Grove Vacation Home Guestbook
"This quiet cabana on stilts features its own outdoor shower, beautiful hardwood floors and furnishings. It is quiet and private with a great ocean view from the balcony, which was always breezy and bug-free. House windows were all screened so bugs were not a problem at all. Recommend for anyone looking for a quiet get-away. We especially enjoyed the bookshelf and scrabble game. Only wish we had stayed longer."

Hummingbird Hideaway Vacation Rental Guestbook
"Ruby, our stay at your Hummingbird Hideaway (house & cabin) was perfect and we wish to thank you. The wedding preparation by Ralph was great and Bobbie's help when we needed help was also great. I think u will b seeing us again at the Hummingbird Hideaway. Thanks for everything."
Lois
Rainbow Casita Apartment Rental Guestbook
"Thank you again for the hospitality and wonderful service you provided to our two families a few weeks ago on Caye Caulker. From recommending the perfect place for our stay, the Rainbow Casita, to offering guidance about day trips and tours that would appeal to adults and kids both, you made us feel well taken care of. We hope to visit again and will look you up."
Liwen & Yvette
Reef House Home Rental Guestbook
"Bill and I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful attention and service that you provided our family during our recent stay at Reef House. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Belize City, your team began to anticipate and meet our every need. You prearranged every detail - from drivers to water taxis and island transport - so that we could truly rest and relax. We welcomed your thoughtful and accurate restaurant recommendations, as well as ideas for leisure activities on the island. In fact, every recommendation you made - about anything - was great!
Without your invaluable help during Henry's illness, we would have been completely lost! It was a very scary time for us, but knowing you were there to assist us reduced our sense of vulnerability so that we could focus on getting him well. We will forever be grateful to you for that!
Thank you, also, for providing such a wonderful team in Victor and Consuela. We felt very 'at home' at Reef House, and it was mainly because our needs were anticipated and met so easily. The house was beautifully maintained and cared for, but it was your service that made it a home for us."
Bill, Judy, Henry and Caroline Jordan
"Thank you for a wonderful and easy stay on Caye Caulker. The Reef House was gorgeous, had all the amenities of home, and was quite comfortable for five adults. We especially liked hanging out on the third floor deck to catch the ocean breezes.
We appreciated your prompt replies to our e-mails and all of the taxis and other services you arranged for us. We were very well taken care of and your service gave us peace of mind to enjoy our first visit to Belize. Thanks again!"
Amy and Ron Dennis
Sunrise Beach Cottage Rental Guestbook
"Our first trip to Belize and Caye Caulker was truly made easier and welcome by the efforts of Kim. We were met by a taxi- then taken to water taxi to the Caye - and even met in a squall by Kim himself to make sure we got to the house safely. Our week stay at the Sunrise House was exactly what we were looking for. A restful, peaceful, tropical vibe. The house is located at the quiet south end of the island. Having the bikes to use, made it a enjoyable 10 minute ride to town to resupply, eat, or whatever. The house is simple and clean, and has most all what you may need. The porches and dock out front were our favorite places to hang out. The dock, being out over the water was great. You can swim, snorkle, sunbath, and fish from there. I caught a yellow tail snapper. Kim, Victor, and Cesar made sure our stay was safe and their help made our time at Caye Caulker awesome."
"Henry and I had a wonderful honeymoon in Caye Caulker. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for making our trip so memorable with your great suggestions and recommendations.
We had a great time at Sunrise Beach Cottage. We enjoyed a lot of peace and quiet, as the cottage was a little ways from the center of town. It was a great secluded spot and we appreciated the privacy. To our surprise, the cottage boasted some nice amenities besides the obvious, most notably the deadbolt and air conditioning in the main bedroom, which allowed us to safely stow our passports/extra money and sleep well at night. It also had a television, which was nice when you felt like it. The kitchen was functional and we were able to make coffee and breakfast and lunch to save some money.
The cottage had an unbelievable view from the deck on the second floor. It also lived up to its name, as the sunrise over the private dock was amazing. As an unexpected surprise, we also enjoyed spending many nights on the deck and dock on our backs staring at the beautiful stars and full moon, or watching big fluffy clouds roll in.
In general Caye Caulker was a funky and vibrant little town. We enjoyed both our snorkeling trips. We highly recommend Juni's Sail and Snorkel for those who are serious about the ocean and its wildlife. He has a profound respect and connection with the ocean out there. For those who are looking for a more fun and relaxed snorkeling trip, we also had a great time with Raggamuffin Tours. We even enjoyed our own self guided kayak tour of the split. Additionally, the food in Caye Caulker was very good, with extremely fresh fish and lobster abundant. We followed the advice we were given and hit up Rose's (twice!), Habaneros, and Don Corleon's during our stay.
The honeymoon was a huge success. Henry and I left rested and rejuvenated, albeit a little sunburnt. We won't forget our trip to Caye Caulker and would love to return again!"
Tri and Henry
"This is the most luxurious home on the island. WE LOVED it here. Lennie & Bill were fantastic, even arranging for fresh lobster tails to be delivered to our door. The house was very comfortable with aircon and good beds, the large kitchen was beautifully equipped. The pool was fantastic staying remarkably cool in the very hot weather plus you have your own private dock from which you can jump straight into the sea. Ben dived the Blue Hole which he thought was unbelievable. We loved the laid back life on Caye Caulker and hope to return one day."
Rex & Lyn, Australia
"We stayed at this wonderful place two years before this property was remodeled, and it was amazing even then. The location couldn't be more perfect, just off the beaten path, if there is such a thing on Caye Caulker, and right on the water. If you were any closer to the water you would have to be floating! Facing east, it allows for breathtaking sunrises over the gulf, truly a signt to be seen. Everything is within a short stroll. Our trip to Caye Caulker was the best vacation we have ever taken and our stay at this unique and beautiful property was a big part of the experience. We couldn't recommend it higher!"
