About this property

Oceanfront Sunset Gecko Condo - Ground Floor 1B

  • Welcome to Sunset Gecko Condo 1B! A 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom oceanfront condo in Placencia Village.

    Sunset Gecko Condo 1B is a beautifully appointed ground-floor oceanfront unit in a high-end 4-unit complex on Sunset Point Drive, a prime, quiet location in Placencia Village with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Placencia canal on the other. Concrete construction with high-end finishes, professionally decorated with quality furniture, original artwork, and a fully outfitted kitchen, this unit has everything you need for an amazing beach vacation.

    Both spacious bedrooms feature a king bed, a large private en-suite bathroom, a private patio, its own air-conditioning unit, and a large flat-screen smart TV. The two chairs in the living room each pull out into single beds designated for children's use only. The unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, smart TVs in the living room and both bedrooms, full air-conditioning, cable TV, high-speed internet, an outdoor gas grill, and covered balconies on both the sea and street sides.

    A standout feature of the complex is the spectacular shared third-floor rooftop deck, where a large infinity-edge pool overlooks the ocean, surrounded by custom metal shade structures, high-end pool furniture, lounge areas, and dining tables, along with an outdoor kitchen and bar. The panoramic 360-degree ocean and Maya Mountain views from up here are incredible. Perfectly located in Placencia Village, you can walk to all the shops and restaurants, yet enjoy the peace of a private, quiet street.

This is a wonderful spot to vacation.

First of all, Placencia is a great place to vacation. Small town with a great vibe. Sunset Gecko Condos are in an excellent location, only blocks to town and right on the water. The grounds are very well maintained (daily), the property is well designed, well maintained and the service by everyone at Gecko was stellar. Our Concierge, Yolanda did a great job of keeping in touch and helping to arrange anything we wanted to do. Consider hiring the Chef. We had Miguel for 3 days’ meals and they were all fantastic. This is a wonderful spot to vacation.

Would absolutely stay here again

The perfect stay for our honeymoon after a week of entertaining family and friends in San Pedro. The rooftop pool with 360 views was one of our favorite places to chill out, along with The Other Side bar/pool across the canal. The unit was incredibly spacious and comfortable, with many little touches to make it feel like home. The WiFi was a little spotty but that’s fine on vacation - needed to unplug anyway! Would absolutely stay here again or check out any of the other many beautiful Gecko properties along the peninsula.

You cannot go wrong leasing from Gecko Property Management!

We were delighted with our accommodations at Sunset Gecko Condos in Palencia, Belize! The property is well cared for with a wonderful roof top pool, beach front, and private dock on the lagoon. A quick 10 minute walk to restaurants and shops. The entire staff was fabulous. Our concierge, Yolanda, was extremely helpful in arranging excursions, in-house chef and transportation to and from the airport. You cannot go wrong leasing from Gecko Property Management!

My husband and sister-in-law and I went for a week and it is exactly as advertised! The view is wonderful! Sunrise is gorgeous right off the balcony and the view from the rooftop pool is spectacular! The response from the staff at Gecko was great. It is being at a resort without all the people! We had spa day at the condo, and Could have had chef prepared meals but we caught our own and cooked it on the great outside grills. It is a perfect mix of luxury with all the “roughing it” you want to do. Had a neighbor that ended up taking us fishing and snorkeling going way out of his way to make sure we had a good time and caught lobster to grill on a beach! If you get there give Vaughn a call at (501)626-9960. He is great and he picks you up at the Gecko dock in front of your place! His mom is like 2 doors down! That’s the Belize way!

Amazing property and location!

We wish we were here longer! The property is very well done with modern interior space and plenty of room. Two large bedrooms would be great for two couples and the water is right off your living room and kitchen. The unit comes with everything you need to feel at home, but when you want to wander to town, it’s less than a 10-minute walk to restaurants, fresh fruit, and the boardwalk! At night the entire road from town to the house is lit by street lights, making the walk very easy any time of day. The best part about this property is the rooftop pool/deck area! Views are amazing, plenty of furniture for lounging, dining, swimming, and having some refreshments. At night the rooftop and pool are illuminated by bistro lights and colorful pool lights, making it a wonderful spot to hang out with friends or family. Wish we had more than two nights here, but will definitely be back and bring a group of friends!!
