5 Bedroom Beachfront Villa w/Large Pool & Staff | Villa in Placencia
5 Bedroom Villa in Caribbean Way, Placencia
Welcome to South Gull Villa! A 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom beachfront villa with private chef included.
Completed in 2021, South Gull Villa is a stunning coastal Craftsman-style retreat that perfectly captures the essence of beachfront living on the Placencia Peninsula. Warm exposed beam ceilings, rich wood accents, and thoughtfully curated design throughout create an inviting atmosphere that feels like home from the moment you arrive — just with the Caribbean Sea as your front yard.
Outdoor living takes center stage at South Gull. The expansive pool deck and patio are the true heart of the property, featuring a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a large, covered seating and dining area ideal for alfresco entertaining, and a generous freshwater pool that enjoys unobstructed sunshine throughout the day. Just steps beyond the pool, a private beach awaits — take out a kayak or paddleboard and explore the calm Caribbean waters at your leisure or simply settle into a hammock and let the sound of the waves do the rest.
Inside, the villa offers generous living spaces perfectly suited for large families or groups of friends, with enough room for everyone to feel at home. A spacious gourmet kitchen with two refrigerators, dual outdoor and indoor dining areas, a large living room with a media center, and a dedicated office with a futon on the main floor round out the comfortable, well-appointed interior.
With dedicated on-site caretakers who live in their own separate quarters on the property, you'll enjoy daily housekeeping, impeccably kept grounds, and total peace of mind throughout your stay. A quick 10-minute golf cart ride takes you to Maya Beach, and Placencia Village is just 25 minutes away — close enough to venture out, far enough away to feel truly secluded.
South Gull Villa is managed by Gecko Vacation Rentals.
**CHEF SERVICE**
Your stay includes complimentary private chef service for stays of 4 nights or more — one full chef day for every two nights stayed. Each chef day includes 3 meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) prepared fresh for your group. For example: a 6-night stay includes 3 chef days; an 8-night stay includes 4 chef days. You will only need to reimburse the chef directly for the cost of groceries. Nothing is marked up, and the chef will provide you with an invoice, payment instructions, and copies of all receipts. Food costs typically run $45–$50 per person per day based on the preset menu. Need the chef more often? Additional chef days can be added for $125 per day.
Grocery stocking service is also included with your stay. There is a provisions list of basic groceries, snack items and beverages you can fill out if you wish to have those items stocked at the house when you arrive. The chef will purchase your groceries, and you only reimburse the items bought.
(+) Want to take it a step further? Enhance your chef service with our All-Inclusive Food Package for $75 per person per chef service day. The package covers all 3 meals, a fruit bowl, limited non-alcoholic beverages, and one lobster meal (in season) — with no additional grocery reimbursement required. Alcohol packages are also available. Ask our team for full details when booking.

The property's private beach, pool, outdoor kitchen, kayaks, paddleboards, and bicycles give you everything you need to fill your days without ever leaving the villa. When you're ready to venture out, your included 6-seater golf cart makes it easy.
Maya Beach — with Inky's 19th Hole Bar & Grill, Naïa Resort, and several dining options — is just a 15-minute golf cart ride north. Placencia Village with its full range of restaurants, bars, local shops, and the famous Placencia Sidewalk is approximately 30 minutes south. Along the way, the villages of Seine Bight and the wider peninsula offer local Garifuna culture and cuisine.
For excursions, your concierge can arrange snorkeling at Silk Caye or Laughing Bird Caye National Park, sportfishing, cave tubing, ziplining, Mayan ruin tours, and more — all departing from Placencia.
**ABOUT PLACENCIA**
Placencia, located in Southern Belize, is one of the country's most beloved destinations — and for good reason. Situated on a stunning 16-mile-long peninsula flanked by the Caribbean Sea on one side and a serene lagoon on the other, Placencia offers the perfect blend of laid-back Caribbean charm and easy access to adventure. Unlike the busier island destinations to the north, Placencia is relaxed, uncrowded, and refreshingly authentic. From here, you're perfectly positioned to explore ancient Mayan ruins, hidden waterfalls, zip lines, cave tubing, world-class snorkeling, and some of the best sportfishing in Central America. Back on the peninsula, you'll find great restaurants, local shops, beachside bars, and the famous Placencia sidewalk. It is the perfect place for an amazing Caribbean vacation!
