Large Oceanfront Villa with Pool, Close to Village | Villa in Placencia
4 Bedroom Villa in Surfside, Placencia
Welcome to Surfside Gecko Villa! A 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom beachfront villa with private chef included.
Surfside Gecko Villa is a large, custom-built gated beachfront estate set directly on the Caribbean Sea in the peaceful Surfside area of Placencia, just a short golf cart ride from Placencia Village. With a huge freshwater pool overlooking the beach, a spacious outdoor kitchen and covered patio, and four generously appointed bedrooms across two floors, this villa is perfectly designed for families and groups who want a private, relaxed beachfront getaway without compromising on comfort or convenience.
The heart of the villa is the impressive chef's kitchen, featuring a massive island bar that makes it the natural gathering spot for morning coffee, casual lunches, and evening cocktails. The open-plan living room with a large flat-screen TV flows directly off the kitchen, creating a seamless indoor hangout space. The large, covered patio and outdoor kitchen overlook the pool and beach, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining, while the beach just steps beyond invites you to pull out a kayak, set up a chair, or simply take in the views of the Caribbean Sea. Two ground-floor king bedrooms with private en-suite bathrooms offer comfortable retreats at the end of the day, while two upper-floor queen bedrooms each enjoy private en-suite bathrooms and a large, shared balcony overlooking the pool and ocean, perfect for catching the breeze and watching the sunset.
**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 to $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.
