About this property

One of a kind! Large house with spacious garden including an amazing dock on the canal and watchtower for stunning sunset views. House comprises of 2 bedrooms, 1 bath in a rustic setting.

Welcome to Winter´s Avalon in Maya Beach!

Step onto this lagoon-side property in Maya Beach with lots of trees and wildlife such as iguanas, birds, agoutis, etc.

The beach is just two minutes away and also very close to great restaurants and bars, and a supermarket!

The single-family home is very spacious and comprises of 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The main bedroom is very large and offers not just a queen-size bed but also a comfortable sleeper sofa. Around this bedroom, you have an enormous space which serves as kitchen, dining and living room. The area is screened in and airy and you think you´d live in the treetops and can reach out to pick the Mangoes. The 2nd bedroom is small and separate from the main bedroom and sleeps 2, perfect for a kids bedroom. Upstairs you find the stunning watchtower. Have a drink and see the sunset over the Maya Mountains and the Placencia Lagoon.

The style of the house is rustic and simple but offers everything you need. The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge/freezer combo, stove, and oven, pots, and pans.

Spend also some time on the amazing dock. Great for fishing or just relaxation.
The property has some of the oldest and largest mangroves, mango trees, orchids and palm trees.

A/C? Not needed – the house is so airy and you will love the wind coming from the ocean. TV? No, but who needs it when you are in such a great environment, go outside, read a book or have a chat.
Don´t panic, Wifi is available.

4 bikes are available free of charge and there are also 2 kayaks and 1 stand-up paddle board for you to use as well as 2 snorkel gears. Additional you will have a fishing rod, perfect for fishing from the dock or kayak.

The house sleeps potentially up to 6 people if you are up to using the sleeper sofa in the main bedroom.

We are an approved “Gold Standard” vacation rental. Belize has implemented these “Gold Standards” which means enhanced health and safety protocols to protect you and ensure that you’ll enjoy your vacation.

A wonderful place to stay!!!!

We loved staying here and will do so again. The property was gorgeous and right on the water. We took the kayaks right on the water from the dock and enjoyed this so very much. We saw so many birds, an aligator, and astingray! We also spent a lot of time in the raised tree house area. We cooked on the grill, walked up the street to the area restaurants and bars, and visited Placencia. We also took a River Tour which we would HIGHLY recommend. It was awesome! Stay here. You will enjoy the experience!

Just off season stay at the Tree Top aka Winter's Avalon

Loved the house and our stay at the Tree Top aka Winter's Avalon in Maya Beach. The house photos are accurate and speaking with Herbert was easy via Whatsapp. The people of the area are absolutely fabulous and loved meeting all the new people. When paddleboarding or kayaking we had the water all to ourselves, which was very peaceful and relaxing. This is a great place to stay and have already recommended it to others. Only one con: Neighbor's kids were visiting at the same time and were playing music with the bass turned up every night starting around 6pm until 10pm and I was unsuccessful in tuning out the pounding noise. However, my friend Brigett didn't have any problem tuning it out, I'm a bit more sensitive to noises. Go enjoy and have a great time, you'll love your experience!

Loved everything - a wonderful stay!

We booked Winter's Avalon for a month from mid-February to mid-March, and we absolutely loved staying here. We did several other mini-trips during our month to explore different parts of Belize and visit friends, but we were always excited to come "home." The beds are comfy, the kitchen had just what we needed to make meals, we had morning coffee and sunset cocktails on the third level lookout space daily, enjoyed time on the dock checking out the birds and a little spotted eagle ray that liked to cruise by. It's quiet and private, and Herbert was near by to help us with any issues, including lending us his electric air pump until we could get a leaky tire fixed on our rental car. Some really excellent restaurants are in easy walking or biking distance, and it was very convenient to meet up with our guides in Placencia for various adventures we booked. We were sad to leave, and hope our travels bring us back to Winter's Avalon some day.

Fantastic place!!

Great place, check-in was seamless. We very much appreciated the local insight we gained from our check-in, they let use know which tour operators were the best, and the best restaurants. The property is incredible, the photos VRBO really reflect what it, I really didn't think it could live up to it, but, it's actually better!! Hardwoods everywhere, great little dock, the kayaks are maybe 20' from the water. To top it off the treehouse is the cherry on top, we spent morning and evenings up there, birds everywhere, great view of the lagoon. Loved it

About the host

We, Herbert & Simone, manage the property for the owner.

We grew up in Austria and moved abroad in 2005 to experience just a different kind of lifestyle. After a few years in Australia, we moved to Belize. It was the perfect country for us, relaxed, beautiful nature, spectacular diving and it is English speaking!

What makes this property unique

All is unique about this property. The beautiful trees, mangroves and the house itself as you have the feeling to live in the treetops. Pure nature experience.
