Vrbo takes your vacation experience to the next level. Renting a vacation home gets you deeper into the culture by living among the community versus being at a resort. With Vrbo you are not just limited to your room or hotel grounds. You have the freedom of a house and yard to enjoy in a charming local neighbourhood. Don’t feel like cooking on vacation? No worries, private chefs are an option. Just email me at tacogirlbelize for details.

Vrbo on Ambergris Caye
“Community, nature, and paradise.”
Ambergris Caye is the largest island in Belize and the main destination for travelers to this western Caribbean region. For centuries, Ambergris Caye has been a hub of the area’s maritime trade. Fishing, coconuts, and chicle (natural gum) were historic means of income.
The last thirty years have led to a large growth in both the dive and scuba trade as well as ecotourism. On the north end of the Caye, Bacalar Chico National Park protects wildlife and the Chac Balam Mayan ruins near the Mexico border. Off the south coast Ambergris Caye lays the world famous underwater world of Hol Chan and Shark Ray alley.
