Beachfront Home Kissin' the Caribbean

Welcome to Bella Sway Belize . . . where bubbly meets bliss. Our private oceanfront home offers bubbly playful fun mixed with the calm of beach bliss. Out the beachside door it’s just 30 steps on soft white sand till your toes hit the clear blue water of the Caribbean Sea, from there you can walk out 80 feet in warm water averaging 80 degrees year-round.
Nestled in the heart of Maya Beach, known for the best beaches in Belize, Bella Sway is just walking distance to restaurants, bars, a grocery store and a vintage bowling alley & sports bar just across the street.
Bella Sway offers beach living at its best. Spend your days snorkeling, swimming, sunbathing and relaxing to the soothing sounds of the ocean and the swaying palm trees.
The eclectic, quaint village of Placencia is just a quick drive where you’ll find a long strolling sidewalk lined with gift shops, local artisans, ice-cream & coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. Many of the guided tours originate in the village. A scuba divers dream, Placencia boasts the world’s second largest reef along with many other water treasures that surround the peninsula.
Whether you play all day at your own private beach or take adventures around Placencia and the Caribbean please know when it’s time to call it a night, you’ll be rocked to sleep by the soothing sounds of the waves and the ocean breeze floating over you. With 3 bedrooms (a King and 2 Queen Beds), 3 full baths and a futon full bed conversion, our home sleeps 8 comfortably.
The kitchen is designed so while you’re preparing a meal your view is all ocean stretching forever into the horizon. Each bedroom has multiple windows making the home bright and open. All the furniture and cabinetry is finely crafted Belizean-made hardwood in a warm amber color with vented cabinet/dresser fronts to circulate the air. Large closets and plenty of drawer space to unpack and feel at home.
The house was strategically positioned on the lot at at an angle to capture the ocean breezes. This makes for comfortable days and nights of fresh ocean air drifting through the home.
Bella Sway is furnished with high quality pillows and bed linens, oversized 100% cotton bath towels and beach towels, cooking essentials, glassware including wine and champagne glasses, cloth tablecloths and napkins, candles (flameless) and even some fun seaside dishes for the deck and beach picnics.
Book a stay to celebrate your next big life event or to get away for rest and relaxation . . . Pop the bubbly. Listen to the ocean as the palm trees sway. Experience true bliss.
Bella Sway Belize . . . where bubbly meets bliss.

Great stay at BellaSway!
Had a great time staying at Lori and John's place right on the beach! Convenient location, very easy to get around. Rooms were comfortable and the house was fully stocked with anything you could think of. They had great recommendations for local excursions as well!

Nice three bedroom beach front house
Three couples enjoyed the house. Property mgr and owners... very responsive. Several excellent restaurants/pools within walking distance. Excellent air conditioning, large deck, well equipped kitchen and clean beach. Grocery store is very close, pharmacy 10 min drive. Best to have a car as it's about 40 min drive to town with a golf cart.

Incredible Ocean Views *** Beautiful Home
We had the most lovely time relaxing at Bella Sway Belize. The home was fully stocked with all the items we needed. Beds were very comfortable and location was fantastic. Close to so many dining options! Perfect getaway to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy friends and family. Will definitely be back! The owner was so prompt in response and super accommodating! Highly recommend a stay at Bella Sway!

Footsteps from the Ocean
We loved our stay at Bella Sway. It was so wonderful being able to wake up and end the day right beside the ocean. Talk about calming! Very easy to walk down the beach or hop in the car and find lovely restaurants just minutes away. It was an intimate place to share laughs, tears, memories, and stories with one another. Thank you for a beautiful visit to Belize!

Perfect vacation home
Lori's home made for a perfect vacation. The house was very comfortable and included everything needed to make a true vacation. If there was anything needed, Lori took care of what was needed immediately. The House Manual included everything you could want to make a fun vacation, from House Rules to tours, shopping , equipment rentals. This made planning for daily excursions easy. The beach was clean with adequate beach chairs and beach towels and a washer and dryer. We would definitely rent this home again and again. Morning coffee on the deck watching the sunrise couldn't be any more perfect Thanks Lori

Beautiful home in private oasis.
Wow! What a breathtaking home. Bella Sway was a perfect location to slow down, unload the pressures of life and enjoy the opportunity to recharge. The location of the home is perfection. Steps from the ocean, the house has all the comforts of home. Enjoyed morning coffee on the veranda watching the sun sparkle the sea. Spent the day on the water and our evenings at the local restaurants. The kindness of the Belizean people was the cherry on top. 10/10 would recommend!

Best vacation ever
Photos and words will not do Bella Sway justice. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and relaxed. About 10 seconds later the overwhelming beauty of the view knocked us over and we were rollicking in the waves. The house is clean, cute, and well-appointed with all the details for your stay thought out. We were party of 4 but 6 would be comfortable as well. Plenty of room to feel very private. The back decks are where we spent all of our time, soaking in the sun (or moon) on the horizon, chilling to the rhythms of the waves. The location is wonderful, with lots of amenities within walking distance (shout out to Mickey’s pool bar, and the pizza at the bowling alley). Rent a golf cart and explore the rest of Placencia. Highlights for me included a massage at the spa at Naia, fishing/snorkeling trip with “Big Fish” at Nauti By Nature, and a sunset dinner at Muna Rooftop Restaurant. The rest I’ll let you figure out for yourself. You have to see this place to believe it.

Great property!
If you are looking to experience more of what Belize is really like, and to get to know the locals, this is a great place to start. Plenty of beach clubs nearby if you want some good food and pampering but also close to good local restaurants and shopping. We really enjoyed both the Placencia Beach Club and the Umaya Resort. We ate and drank all day at PBC for about $40USD PP. Wish we had tried Umaya sooner because it was a great place to spend the day. Plenty of signs saying beach and pool for guests only, but as long as you are spending $$ (and they aren't really busy) staff doesn't care. Jauguar Lanes across the street has solid pizza and drinks and was a good home base for us. Good mix of locals and expats made for a fun vibe. We did a Daytripper boat excursion with snorkeling and had a great time. Staff was fun and the lunch and rum punch were better than we anticipated. If you've never snorkeled before, take a class on your own or practice first because there wasn't any instruction beforehand. Not a big deal for our group, but for a group of beginners it might make it less enjoyable. The house itself was exactly like the pictures and was clean and comfortable with a very nice beach view with plenty of breeze. We spent every morning and evening on the deck talking and listening to the waves. Owners prepare you well for your visit with a handy info guide. We only had one minor issue while there but the property manager was on it instantly. Overall, great house!

“Once in a lifetime” kind of trip
You’re a leisurely golf cart ride away from downtown Placencia and all of the bars/shops (& craft brewery!) that entails. Your porch is 20 feet from the beach. From this beach you can see every star in the sky on a clear night. You’re walking distance to restaurants, swim up bars and breakfast bistros. The home itself is built for the perfect group. A downstairs apartment (with full bathroom and kitchenette) is great for the night owls, while the 2 upstairs bedrooms and kitchen are good for hanging or getting a good night’s rest. The wrap-around porch upstairs is great for napping and reading. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I’ve traveled a decent amount and I’ve been blessed to stay in some wonderful spots, from Aspen and Austin, to London and Paris. This is up there with any of them. Snorkeling and island bars, Mayan ruins and waterfalls, zip lines and cave tubing. It’s all available and it’s all affordable. The hosts have incredible taste and great recommendations. THIS is the epitome of a rare gem. I plan on making this trip every year if I’m able.

Beautiful home in a beautiful location
We had a weeklong vacation at Bella Sway and it was just lovely! The house is well appointed with very comfortable beds, soft fluffy towels and the most spectacular view of the Caribbean sea! It was generally quiet except for the road noise, as it is close to the only road in Placencia. The vehicle noise isn’t present all the time, but it is there. There was plenty of room for 3 adults and each bedroom has it’s own bathroom. The A/C was strong (thankfully!) and the outdoor fans kept a nice breeze even with the high humidity we had while there. The kitchen had the things necessary to make some meals at home. There are tile stairs when you first enter the home to reach the main level so we were sure to have dry shoes/feet to navigate those. The beach is just yards from the house to enjoy the beautiful Caribbean sea. This house is a great location if you want to have a peaceful getaway in a picturesque location!

Amazing home and location
I highly recommend this home to families looking for a great place to stay in Placencia. Lori, the host, is so kind and helpful and the home is clean and beautiful. My family of 6 enjoyed the location as we rented kayaks in walking distance, chartered a fishing trip, and fished off the dock right at the home. It was quiet and safe and close to many restaurants and fun things to do. We were so thankful to have the extra space and bathrooms. Thank you Lori for renting us such a great home on our first trip out of the US as a family!
