On The Beach Bungalows - Flip Flop #1
Enjoy a true Belizean Bungalow experience at “On the Beach” located in Maya Beach, Placencia Belize. If you are looking to get away from the crowds, "On the Beach" Bungalows is the place for you. We are located in Maya Beach, Mile Marker 15.75, Placencia Peninsula, Stann Creek District, which is 8 miles north of the Placencia Village and 6 miles north of the Placencia airstrip.
Very private bungalows with your own 170’ of ocean front beach. The bungalows are self-accommodating, and provide you with everything you need. Each bungalow is newly remodeled with all the comforts of home, queen size bed, sofa, living/dining area, covered front deck, and well-equipped kitchen. We offer kayaks, bicycles, private pier and WiFi. Swimming Pools, Bars, Restaurants available within walking distance.
Lots of birds and wildlife to enjoy. Walk out your front door and snorkel off the shore with coral reef located 100 feet from you own private pier with a crow’s nest, lookout tower. Kayak out to False Caye to view more sea life, walk down the beach to local bars and restaurants or just lay in your hammock overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
The bungalow will accommodate a maximum of 2 people. The kitchens are equipped with full size fridge, 2 burner stove, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, cooking utensils, blender, and other amenities to make your stay more comfortable.
There are several different ways to get to On the Beach Bungalows. You can either fly from Belize International (BZE)airport to Placencia (PLJ) on either Maya Island Air or Tropic Air. Once in Placencia auto and golf cart (Captain Jaks) rentals are available. If you want to see the country and drive through the jungle mountains, rent at the Belize International airport (Crystal Auto Rental) and drive down Hummingbird highway ( 3 ½ hour drive) you won’t be sorry. Or the new Coastal Highway which is only 2 hours. Transportation highly recommended.
We offer full concierge services. You can set up any tours or Adventure package you are interested in by visiting our website (top right); diving, snorkeling, fishing, inland tours, zip-lining, hiking, waterfalls, Maya Ruins and so much more.

A little piece of heaven
What an amazing oasis right on the beach! The breeze is constant off the Caribbean Sea so you absolutely do not need air conditioning!!! Supplies and restaurants are within walking distance. We had a car and enjoyed traveling to Placencia. I would HIGHLY recommend staying here!!!

Paradise Found
Barnacle Bill's is a little slice of paradise. Simple, well considered accommodation in a wonderful setting on the shores of the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
Bill and Adrianne were the perfect hosts, helpful but not intrusive and accommodating to the needs of my 10 year old daughter and 80 year old father, both of whom thoroughly enjoyed their holiday.
Placencia is a great place; friendly people, beautiful scenery and lots to do - without being overly touristy.
We shall return.

Unplugged and relaxed...... it was amazing...
If you are looking to unplug, relax and just enjoy your surroundings, this is the perfect spot. Bill and Adriane were great hosts! They got us pointed in the right direction for a snorkeling tour and suggested local restaurants to visit. The bungalows are just as described, they have everything you need. We stayed a week and had plenty of towels, beach towels, linens etc. We were a little concerned about no air conditioning but it was not an issue. There is always a breeze from the ocean; with two ceiling fans and a floor fan we were comfortable. The local restaurants and general store are all just a short walk away. We were able to snorkel right at our beach and also at an island that took us about 20-30 minutes to kayak to from our beach. We are already talking about when we go back!

Bungalow with tropical flavor steps from the water
Location was great. Bungalows were clean and comfortable. No A/C but we didn't find it necessary. Only negative was the beach grass making swimming off the beach difficult, but this problem is universal all over the island. Great restaurants within walking distance and fortunately we had a car to go on several excursions.. Bill and Adriane were very helpful. We would stay here again.

The Bungalow we rented hit the spot and was just what we wanted for a quiet getaway.
Barnacle Bills was a great escape from the US, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the plants that are left on this lot versus other areas we noticed nearby that are cleared completely. It leaves you with the feeling you're in the jungle but on the coast. There were not many places in the area like this that are stripped of native plants and trees. Furthermore, Bill and Adrianes hospitality was wonderful. I would definitely consider coming back but as first time to Belize this was fabulous!
