So what sets the Alaska Reprieve apart from other rentals?

Our kitchen is fully equipped, so you can opt to eat in. Laundry facilities are available, so you can do your laundry using our washer, clothesline, and dryer, so you do not have to pay to have your laundry done. We have bikes, kayaks, snorkel gear, floaties, beach chairs, beach towels. so you can just use ours and you don’t have to rent or bring your own.
CONVENIENCE – We are less than a 10-minute walk from every comfort and service in the village! The point of the peninsula is only a 15-minute stroll away and most conveniences are even closer…
To the east… less than 100 steps away to the beautiful Caribbean beach.
To the north on the famous sidewalk… Only a 2-minute walk to the Placencia Beach Club. If you don’t want to swim in the ocean, we offer you our corporate membership where you can swim, eat, and drink at the Placencia Beach Club. They have daily lunch specials and a swim-up bar. Just let PBC know you are staying with us.
To the south on the famous sidewalk… Only a 4-minute walk to Detach Restaurant or Beaches & Cream Expresso. Only a 5-minute walk to the nightlife hub – Barefoot Bar and Tipsy Tuna. No worries about a DUI!

Only a 5-minute walk to Bubba Wubbs’s Bar (Grill and Smoke Shack); and two coffee shops for your morning espresso or coffee.

Only a 15-minute walk to the end of the peninsula, where you can check out the daily catch.
NATURE, REST, AND BEAUTY – Because we are located at the north end of the village and in a residential area, we enjoy clean, uncluttered, and manicured beauty. Beautiful sunrises over the Caribbean. Stunning landscaped lots with exotic plants. Early morning bird and hummingbird watching. Mating iguanas and chirping geckos.

COMFORT - We are a pristine facility that offers air conditioning - some places in the village don’t have air conditioning and some charge an extra fee for use of air conditioning. Brand new firm mattresses and fluffy pillows. Our mattresses are firm, so we have added a 3" gel foam topper so our guests have the option of extra firm or a little more cushion. Egyptian cotton sheets and bedding that is air-dried (weather permitting) and fresh smelling. A full kitchen includes a 24” gas range, oven, full refrigerator/freezer with a built-in Central American style ice maker, and filtered cold water. A variety of small appliances including a coffee maker, toaster, mixer, and ice-crushing blender for your smoothies and drinks.

A set of sharp knives and cutting boards. Towels, sponges, dishwashing liquid, and drain rack. And if you have to work or be on your computer, we offer a desk area with a comfortable office chair and adjustable lighting.
This little piece of heaven is located in the perfect spot, not too close to the noise of the bars but very close to everything. Located at the north end of Placencia Village, right on the famous sidewalk, this stunning studio with peek-a-boo sea views through the palms and tropical foliage is contemporary, open, and airy. Plus all of our furniture is built from Belizean hardwoods by local craftsmen.
The plants on the property intensify the pleasure of being in paradise. Hibiscus, orchids, palm trees, limes, mangos, perfume trees, and many others surround the house. This attracts birds and butterflies so nature is all around. Some days the resident iguanas and geckos make an appearance. The garden has a pergola where you can hang out in the hammocks and enjoy your afternoon nap.
This is the perfect place for relaxing or for keeping busy. The options are abundant. Sunbathe, walk on the uncrowded beach, relax on your private veranda, swing in the hammocks, or sign up for excursions. You can enjoy the rich natural resources of Belize including the barrier reef, the tropical rainforests, and the Mayan ruins. This is the place for world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. You will also find manatee watching, hiking, river tubing, or day trips into the jungle and wildlife preserves.
This wonderful studio offers you the opportunity to be lulled to sleep by the ocean sounds and fall in love with this quiet little village!
Plus, we have two studios with identical layouts if you are traveling with another couple or children. Our first-floor listing is property number 1699427. Here is the link: https://www.vrbo.com/1699427?noDates=true

The studio was well designed, well equipped, well maintained, and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook throughout our entire 5 week stay. The availability of well functioning washer and dryer was so helpful. The place is extremely convenient to the beach and all the stores and restaurants in the village. The hosts were kind and caring while respectful of our privacy. We couldnt have asked for a nicer experience.
What a great vacation rental, exactly as described , well equipped for a few days or a month rental. Proximity to the beach, supermarket/liquor store and Placencia beach club make this a fantastic find. The pictures don’t do it justice……. The hammocks, floaties, beach towels make this a great base in Placencia Village.
Mae was very communicative and provided a detailed and accurate orientation package , with easy checkin and great directions , with numerous recommendations for local eats . Admittedly we had a small issue with the AC unit , which seemed to be due to the utility power company , and out of the owner’s control , and the ceiling fans helped keep the unit cool. We would definitely stay here again, and looking at dates to return in 2025.
Placencia village is a great destination with numerous shops, bars, restaurants all within an easy walk of the unit , no need for car or golf cart.
Very nice property, close to the beach. The “Main Street “ side wall runs right in front of the house and connects you to the downtown action. 5 minute walk to Placencia Beach Club and about 1 mile walk to the tip of the peninsula. Great place to stay.
We enjoyed everything about our stay! The location is excellent and easy walking distance to the beach, the beach club, the supermarket, and the village. The path is the cutest thing you've ever seen. The house itself was perfect- comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen, good wifi, and the covered porch is great! We really appreciated the extra touches like laundry, the outdoor shower, and the bikes. The host was extremely helpful and responsive!
I never leave reviews, but feel impelled to do so after staying at the Alaska Reprieve. This place is fabulous. Super duper clean, great location, awesome porch to sit out and listen to the ocean (and watch Spiky the dog next door walk himself), and 2 bikes to get around town. The ocean is literally right there, and the use of the Placencia Pool is a plus. Couldn't think of anything to make it more enjoyable. Thank you for such a wonderful place to stay. Mae and Phil have thought of everything!!
Have you ever stayed at a property where you were disappointed when you got there? Not the case here. The pictures do not do the property justice. This is not a rental its a home. Very thoughtfully appointed. The location is fantastic. The Beach Club membership is priceless!!!
The Alaska Reprieve was perfect for our spring break vacation in Placencia! Mae was so easy to work with, quick to respond and provided a lot of helpful information. We loved the location of the Alaska Reprieve - right on the sidewalk in the village (this is important), a short walk to beach, restaurants/bars, the grocery store and the Placencia Beach Club. The AC was a nice perk and the laundry facilities allowed us to pack light and not check our baggage. Although we chose to eat out for most of our meals, the kitchen is well stocked for meal prep. We enjoyed our morning coffee and afternoon drinks on the porch each day. We would love to stay here again!

This place is a gem. It is new, modern construction, with clean manicured grounds, built right up against the famous sidewalk. Very clean, with all the kitchen amenities you would need. Access to the beach club which is a very short walk to the north. Most operators, cab etc.. know where it is by the name "Alaska Reprieve". I would recommend screenshotting the host's well documented key instructions for the front door, because although the lock is relatively easy to use, it is not necessarily intuitive. There is nothing negative to say - you can't go wrong. I would definitely stay there again.
Everything has been thought of. Perfect instructions, great suggestions and the addition to be so close to great bars and restaurants and the Placencia beach club pool and restaurant makes this a great choice. If you want something different from a resort feel then this would be for you.
We spent 9 perfectly relaxing and wonderful days here. We loved Placencia. So many delicious places to eat just down the sidewalk. A fully stocked kitchen for cooking in, too. The condo is steps from the beach and the lunch and drinks at the Beach Club were amazing. We will be back!
I can't say enough positive words about our stay in Placencia and at the Alaska Reprieve. We live in the desert so this was the complete opposite of normal. The flat is clean, beautiful, quiet and comfortable. The beach is a minute walk and the landscaping and views are beautiful. The host is easily accessible and accommodating. We had the most amazing time and hope to make it back some day soon!
Thank you Mae!
We had such a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Alaska Reprieve. Kay had made everything so clean and welcoming when we arrived. This place has everything you could need for a visit to Placecia. The beach was peaceful and beautiful. The kayaks, washer/dryer, good quality applicances and tools made it easy to cook and make blended drinks as well as coffee. The grounds are well kept and all the neighboring yards are too. Close to the store, a nice walk into town on boardwalk(here we got to see local vendors and options for food). The beach will also take you to the end of the peninsula where there is a nice swimming area where locals go which is the river end of town. We would definitely suggest staying here and hope to ne back.
