Luxury Villa with chef, pool, and beautiful gardens

A luxurious 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom villa in a gorgeous setting. Our home has all of the comforts you would expect like AC, wifi, a refreshing pool & multiple TVs. We have a chef to prepare your meals onsite and a full staff to help make sure you have a lovely stay. You can relax in the house, by pool, in the many outdoor sitting areas, in the treehouse, or in the surrounding gardens that are meticulously maintained. And we can help you arrange fantastic day trips to all of the amazing spots nearby. See you soon!

This property has belonged to our family for many decades. We have had the good fortune of sharing our space with many family and friends and visitors to Belize over the years. After significant remodeling and preparation over the past few years, we are excited to share our home with you.

Whether you are organizing an active family vacation to see the nearby Maya sites or the natural beauty that surrounds our home or if you are planning a couples getaway to sit by the pool and drink sangria and celebrate not being around your kids or you just need to relax in a beautiful home in a stunning setting (the birdwatching from our patio is amazing - it's possible to see a pandemonium of parrots, toucans, and many other special species), we are sure that you will enjoy Riverwalk as much as we do.

Rest assured that the home will feel like a private, luxury resort and not like someone's neglected 2nd home. To wit, we will never ever ask you to take out the garbage or strip the beds.

A few more things:

1. There is a floor plan of the villa in the photos with the bedrooms and bathrooms labeled.

2. Bedroom 1, 2, and 3 all have 1 king bed.

3. Bedroom 4 can be set up as 1 king bed or 2 twin beds. We will confirm your preferred setup prior to your arrival.

4. Bedroom 5 has 2 bunk beds and can accommodate 4 people and all the stuffies the kids insist on bringing along.

5. Bedrooms 1, 2, and 3 all have ensuite bathrooms. Bedroom 4 and bedroom 5 share full bathroom 4. Good grief, that's alot of numbers.

6. The nightly rate includes 2 meals per day. If you prefer 3 meals per day, let us know and we can make that happen for a modest additional fee per person. Bottled water and wifi are complimentary. Additional beverages are available for purchase, including soft drinks, beer, wine, and various spirits. In addition, if you have any special requests (you must have unsalted cashews, for example), let us know and we will do our best to make it happen.

7. The house has a full kitchen in which our chef will prepare your meals. If you want to buy groceries and prepare your own meals, we salute you, but our home is not the right place for you.

8. Yes, we have a washer and dryer. Our team will take care of the laundry, just ask.

9. Coffee will be ready when you wake up in the morning.

10. Bedrooms 1, 2, 3, and 4 all have 55 inch televisions. The TV in the living room, above the fire place, is 65". All TVs have access to cable TV or you can sign into your favorite streaming services.

11. We have a large bluetooth speaker to play tunes by the pool so you can sing along to your favorite karaoke jams.

12. We have board games, playing cards, a cornhole setup, giant jenga, a dart board, a trampoline, a swingset with a slide, a basketball hoop and ball, yoga mats, and a Rogue pull up bar on the grounds for those of you who want to post workout selfies while in Belize (you know who you are!)

13. As required by Belize Law, our property is registered with the Belize Tourism Board and we are required to collect 9% hotel tax and remit that to the Government of Belize. This is required of every hotel and VRBO listing in Belize.

Belize Vacation
My husband and I along with 5 friends came to stay at Riverwalk Ranch to enjoy warm weather, go birding and visit Mayan ruins. Elias and Betty made our stay memorable, enjoyable and relaxing. Elias's meals were works of art, the house beautiful, and the pool refreshing. The tours that we booked picked us up at the house which made the day trips very easy. Sitting on the veranda in the late afternoon watching the parrots arrive was a favorite pastime. A wonderful vacation and a home that I would heartily recommend.

Spectacular family property
Every member of our family group from 4 to 74 loved this special property. The house is beautiful and the grounds are nothing short of spectacular. It was a great place for the children, ages 4,7, and 8. In addition to the pool, there were many things to do, including a trampoline and a treehouse. The porch has a wonderful seating area, and the inside has areas as well where we gathered each evening to hang out. I can’t say enough about the chef Elias and his assistant Betty. We asked for Belizian cuisine, and we were not disappointed at any time. Many days we left early to go off into the countryside for adventures and they were incredibly accommodating about early breakfast even making burritos one morning so that we could take them with us. The food was wonderful. We took advantage of many of the things to do in the San Ignacio area. The house was a great starting point for our adventures. Don’t miss the Mayan kitchen. Staying in this wonderful home was a highlight of our trip

Fantastic Stay in Belize!
We were greeted with warm hospitality from the moment of arrival on this beautiful property. The house and property was very clean and manicured. The pool was fabulous to relax in after a long day of excursions. Elias and Betty made our stay a complete delight. Elias is an amazing cook - hands down the best food we had in Belize altogether. We already miss his cooking! Our only regret was not booking a longer stay here! Thank you for a marvelous time and showing us the true spirit of Belize.

Family getaway to Cayo
My family loved our stay at Riverwalk! Elias (the chef and house manager) paid attention to all the little details that made our trip so special. Each meal was prepared with love. My son turned 11 during our trip, and he made sure we had a delicious cake for our family celebration. The grounds at Riverwalk are so much more beautiful than the pictures show (and the pool is like a nice warm bath). It's about a 90 minute drive from Belize City. We took short day trips using Riverwalk as our home base (cave tubing, exploring Mayan ruins).This is a special place, and my family and I felt relaxed and well cared for at Riverwalk. We will be back!

Amazing
Our stay at Riverwalk was a highlight of our Belize tour. Communication with Kelly was easy and her beautiful home is breathtaking. You have to see both the house and surrounding scenery to believe it. My kids loved swimming, relaxing in the large hammocks, and exploring the grounds looking for iguanas. Elias, host and chef, is an absolute gem. He is kind and genuinely cares about both the house and guests staying there. We traveled with 2 adults and 4 kids ages 9-17. Every single one of my kids devoured the diverse breakfasts and dinners cooked by Elias and Betty. Elias also asked for preferences and respected allergies/intolerances. Little snacks and desserts were an added bonus. Everything was so good and we were treated to an exceptional stay. We rented a car from Belize City to drive to the Cayo District. It was a great jumping off spot to enjoy cave tubing, the Belize Zoo, Rio on Pools, Big Rock Falls, San Ignacio, and Xunantunich.

The property was incredible - just as advertised and then some. Every room and the outdoor area was clean, comfortable, and well kept. The pool was kept clean and the landscaping was well maintained. Elias and Betty made us feel welcome by cooking a delicious breakfast and dinner for us each day and cleaning up afterwards. Elias was great to talk with, and took our few dietary requirements and time constraints seriously - effortlessly whipping up beautiful belizian meals. We had plenty of privacy but he was not far whenever needed. Overall it was a wonderful place to wake up to each morning and come home to after a long day of adventuring.
