A Belize group vacation rental right on the Barrier Reef:
Casa Al Mar
Casa Al Mar is a fully staffed, six-bedroom home on a quiet stretch of St. George’s Caye. Positioned right on the doorstep of the Belize Barrier Reef, this historic island home is reserved exclusively as a full-house buyout for one group at a time.
What makes the experience so special is how completely taken care of you feel from the moment you arrive. With a dedicated local crew of eight working around the clock—including your personal chef, private captain, licensed guide, daily housekeeping, and on-site hospitality staff—everything is seamlessly handled.
There are no public tour boats to fight for, no rigid schedules to stick to, and no daily chores to manage. Instead, you get immediate, private access to Belize’s legendary marine playground—swimming with nurse sharks, spearfishing for dinner, and lounging on private sandbars—backed by a full team devoted entirely to your stay.
High-season pricing generally works out to roughly $500 per person, per night for groups of 8 to 14, before the 11% Belize hotel tax. Your exact per-person cost depends on your dates and group size.
24/7 Service & an 8-Person Dedicated Crew: Effortless Island Care
Most vacation rentals give you a key and a house manager; Casa Al Mar gives you a full team that anticipates your every need. With eight staff members living on-site, your stay is defined by quiet, attentive hospitality:
Your Personal Chef (Chef Estevan): Prepares family-style breakfasts, packed boat lunches, and elaborate three-course dinners featuring Maya, Mestizo, and Creole flavors.
Your Captain & Licensed Guide: Ready at your private dock whenever you decide to hit the water—whether its an early sunrise fishing trip, a snorkel run, or a sunset stop at the sandbar.
Daily Housekeeping: All three floors are kept immaculate, bedrooms are reset, and fresh towels are stocked daily while you're out exploring the water.
24/7 On-Site Hospitality & Bartender: Round-the-clock service to ensure drinks are poured, dock lounges are set up, and your daily logistics run without a hitch.
Exclusive Marine Experiences Right Outside Your Front Door
Because the Belize Barrier Reef sits right in your backyard and the boat belongs strictly to your group, your time on the water is completely fluid.
Reef Snorkeling on Your Schedule
Your captain reads the tides to take you to untouched coral gardens, nurse shark habitats, and sea turtle feeding grounds before public tour boats arrive or long after they leave.
Submerged Sandbar Hangouts
Anchor at secret, shallow mid-ocean sandbars known only to local boatmen. Float in waist-deep, crystal-clear water with cold drinks straight from your onboard cooler.
Flexible Split-Group Days
Half your group can go diving or deep-sea fishing while others relax in a hammock or swim off the dock, effortlessly reuniting for lunch at the house.
Jungle River & Ruins Runs
Skip domestic flights. Your captain can boat your group directly to the mainland for private jungle river tours and ancient Maya ruins, returning in time for sunset drinks back at the house.
Catch-and-Cook Ocean-to-Table Dining
Fish along the reef drop-offs for snapper, grouper, or lobster (in season). Bring your catch back to the dock, hand it to Chef Estevan, and enjoy fresh seafood on the balcony that evening.
Who it's for: How different groups experience Casa Al Mar
Every group uses our home setup, dedicated staff, and instant reef access in their own way:

Six bedrooms, three floors, two docks
St. George's Caye is a quiet stretch of waterfront family homes where life moves at the pace of the tides. Casa Al Mar is the house with two private docks extending into the Caribbean, and for your stay, the entire property belongs to your group.
Originally built as a private family retreat, it operates nearly off-grid on solar power—designed to capture natural ocean breezes through open windows, ceiling fans, and fresh sea air pulling straight through the house.
Third floor: High breezes and sweeping, panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and surrounding reef waters.
Second floor: The main balcony—where your group naturally gathers for morning coffee, sunset drinks, and family-style dinners.
First floor: Quickest access to the docks for early morning boat runs with zero stairs to climb.
Rooming assignments are finalized with you before anyone pays, ensuring everyone knows their room setup before landing.

What a Belize group vacation rental costs, and what's included
What our groups say:
"The house was incredible, but it was the crew that made our trip unforgettable. Having our own boat and captain meant we could fish and snorkel whenever we wanted—we actually took the boat out three different times in one day! Chef Estevan surprised us with spectacular local dishes every night, and the staff made us feel completely looked after."
— Sarah M., Group of 12 (Google Review)
"If I could give this stay six stars, I absolutely would. The food alone deserves its own praise—easily a 10 out of 10. Every day brought something new, beautifully prepared, and consistently delicious. It was a week where everything was handled, and it was clear how much care went into every detail."
— Grant, Group of 12, January 2026
"The level of flexibility is extremely rare. Having our own private boat and licensed captain meant every day was tailored to our family's pace. It was a week where we just showed up and everything was completely handled for us."
— Marcus, Group of 10, March 2025
