The space The Indigo Pearl Guesthouse is peacefully located at the south end of the island, directly on the coastline overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean, and offering absolutely stunning views of the Caribbean sea, AND gorgeous sunsets/sunrises! Our location is large and secluded, directly on Indigo Bay. House; Oceanfront, Eco - Chic, 5G Wi-Fi, Full Kitchen, Rooftop Deck; Wraparound veranda, Privacy; The location of our house itself is very relaxing. We love the ability to be secluded, or, to choose to go into the town. Our location is our main value : we are right on the coast, in a gorgeous private location amidst the palms of the jungle. Unique! We are very happy to reopen now in 2023 after a 2 year COVID hiatus. Our home is nestled in Indigo Bay, which is seen on the map as an indented area at the southwest area of the island’s tip. We are right on the water’s edge. In our vicinity there are several piers to enjoy. The views from the rooftop deck and from the top level wrap-around balcony are panoramic and therefore literally the best views on the island. You look out over the tops of coconut palms in our huge yard and the view is absolutely gorgeous. The Indigo Pearl is in view and close proximity to Turquoise Croc (behind us.) Our rental is much larger and has an unmatched view of the sea. No other house obstructs your view. At our home, you do not share the house with the caretakers/owners, which gives you the ultimate in privacy! Do not choose us if you want to be 'pampered' - choose our house if you love adventure and you want to live as Belizeans do. If you DON'T need A/C or a TV, and if you DO enjoy riding bikes, and you DON'T mind being a 15 min. bike ride from the edge of town, and if you DO like getting some exercise, and if you are NOT afraid of inadvertently crushing a crab with your bike tire, and you DO value peace, beauty, open spaces, and an unbelievable panoramic view over the sea, then we think you would LOVE our house. We personally live in 10 acres of secluded land in Illinois, and we love being away from crowds. We like the opportunity to go to town when we want to, but otherwise we value privacy. That is why we choose this location. It is exactly what we love, and we want to share it with others who enjoy peace & beauty also. The amount of private space you have at our house is something rare on the island. It's been a learning curve for us to realize that not everyone thinks like we do or values what we do. We want it to be perfectly clear that our house is not fancy - those places are on the nearby traffic jammed island of Ambergris Caye. Our house is simple and clean. We have made HUGE improvements to our house since we first purchased it. The Indigo Pearl is one of the sturdiest homes on the island. It is a three-level home, so the top level apartment sits above the palm tree level - therefore having extraordinary views. With a wrap-around porch on three sides, you have a nearly 360 degree view of the sea, the surrounding islands, passing boats and truly incredible sunsets. As you look at the photo of our house you can see that the top level is for guests, the middle level is an apartment that is unused, and the bottom level is storage. South Point is the area to stay if you are a "birder" who desires to see the variety of unusual birds of Caye Caulker. The house is simple, in Belizean style, and yet simplicity is the rule here on Caye Caulker. As you look at the house, the upper level - above the treetops - is the apartment which you as guests would be renting. The queen bed has a new comfy mattress topper for a much improved sleep now. Our caretakers live off-site but are just a quick phone call away - for any questions or needs you may have. Our home is eco-chic: The power to run the electricity comes from our new solar panels. This energy from the sun is then stored in a large bank of batteries. (The refrigerator, stove and on-demand water heater are powered by butane.) We conserve energy and all of our water comes from a huge water catchment system, which captures the rain and filters it for pure drinking water. The showers are nice and warm, as we have an on-demand water heater for the shower. We have one of the largest water catchment tanks on the entire island and it is quite sufficient for our guests now. Amenities: Clean sheeted queen size bed with comfy new mattress topper in the bedroom. Also, two 4-drawer dressers are in the bedroom. The Living Room has a couch, table & 4 chairs, and a comfortable reading chair next to our book/game shelf. Bath towels & Beach towels are in the bathroom, plus a safe in which to lock your passport. Our home is simple and basic, yet very spacious, unique, private and with a view and peacefulness you can't get anywhere in town! We provide so much more than many other choices for rental: *Large spacious kitchen: 4-burner stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, French Press, dishes, pots/pans, spices, etc. The kitchen has a large nice area of counter top space. You may eat out at the many quaint restaurants or, you may shop at one of the local tiny grocery stores and cook back 'at home.' The half-acre surrounding the house is sandy with a lovely assortment of coco palms and native plants. When here, we grill out every night on a large charcoal (or use coconut husks!) grill here out on the balcony. Internet service is high speed (5G)and very reliable. This is an excellent way to stay in contact with family back home, or write that book that you’ve always wanted to! We have a small library of books and several board and dice games~ Right outside the kitchen door is a wraparound balcony on 3 sides. Our views off of these balconies are truly some of the best on the entire island. This is a strong point of this house. The sunsets are amazing. The water is a gorgeous shade of blue and we have just a fabulous, unobstructed view! *Complimentary use of 2 (total) bikes, ($20 USD/day value - each). Bike (15 minutes), walk (25 minutes), or rent a golf-cart to go the 1 mile to the edge of the quaint, small local town via an authentic, rough (sometimes wet) and bumpy jungle path along the coast. I LOVE biking into town every day when we are there. Or, you can walk. Golf cart rental is available. Caye Caulker is a very unique and quite laid-back little island. There are no resorts or such luxuries. Just the simple life. Few cars, no rush, just friendly locals and a slowed pace. The main reason people come to Caye Caulker are snorkeling off the barrier reef, fishing, diving, and just relaxing. We strongly recommend a trip out on a boat for a snorkel trip or a "booze cruise" or fishing. Such trips can be arranged once you get there, and are inexpensive and very memorable. Swimming and snorkeling off the edges of the island just do not compare to a trip out to the reef. Enjoy a friendly, laid back, barefoot, local scene of restaurants, stores, bars, beaches & dive shops, or, water-taxi to nearby Ambergris Caye Island (the super busy town of San Pedro). Local snorkel trips are small groups, inexpensively priced, & STUNNING! (there is even a trip to swim with sharks & pet sting rays.) The opportunities for relaxation OR for fun are endless!!! Yes, there can be potholes in the path... yes, your bike tire may crush an occasional crab, but YES ~ you will be in the REAL Belize ~ not in a touristy hotel!! We love it, and if you are adventurous, flexible, fun people, then you will too! Caye Caulker is fabulous -- come with a sense of adventure! Don't expect life as in the U.S. and you will be pleasantly surprised. Caye Caulker is a very simple and FUN island. No cars, no traffic jams! If you are adventurous and flexible then you will love Caye Caulker. It is still a unique place! Its residents are literally struggling to keep this island from becoming ‘just like any other place’ and ‘too commercialized’. Come and experience Caye Caulker island before its sand streets, home cooked authentic food and all around uniqueness disappears! Once you book your stay, I will send you lots of informative emails about our lovely island, getting to our house, the best restaurants, etc. Let’s make a connection and plan to experience some memorable times! ~Linda and Joe Guest access You will have the entire upper level. Other things to note Our home is large and well-built.
