About this property

Gold Standard certified! Directly on the water, shaded by palms, designer pool.

NOTE!

In mid-2020, the Belize Tourism Board (BTB) launched a new Gold Standard Recognition Program for tourism operations in the country. The program set new, higher standards for health and safety in the industry. Seascape Villas is proud to have been one of first accommodations certified and works hard to maintain its standards!

-----------------------------------------

Welcome to Seascape Villas, a Fodor's "Choice" resort. Seascape is located on the unspoiled, pristine beachfront of Ambergris Caye, just three miles north of San Pedro Town and four miles east from Secret Beach. It is a private, six-unit resort that provides some of the most elegant and spacious vacation villas found in the Caye. Your villa, Nautilus Del Mar (Villa #6), is the only Seascape rental directly on the beach, offering particular luxury for those with discriminating taste in tropical vacations.

Nautilus Del Mar has 3,700 square feet of modern living space with three large bedrooms, 3.5 baths and spacious balconies and verandas that open directly onto the beach. Being directly on the water, nestled under tall palm trees and enjoying the tropical breezes coming off the sea only yards away, is only the start of your villa's unique benefits. Its innovative architectural design, modelled after the Nautilus shell, provides a circular common living area attached to a wing that runs all three bedrooms parallel with the beach. As a result, the living / dining room area, with its wrap-around elevated veranda, has a stunning panoramic look onto the Caribbean and the resort. The second floor Master bedroom, with its private balcony, has an equally breath-taking beachfront view. The two bedrooms on the ground floor not only have that same view, but also open directly onto porches that step off into the beach sand. The palm trees shading the area in the front of the house provide the perfect frame for a Caribbean scene that would be the delight of anyone looking for a luxury tropical vacation.

Inside, the bedding configuration is three Kings (two of which can be split into Twin beds). All bedrooms have their own bathrooms and walk-in closets. Provided amenities include full bedding (linens, pillows, duvets), towels, beach towels, and toiletries. There is a complete kitchen, fully equipped with stainless steel appliances and an open counter that overlooks the dining area, living room, front deck and the beach beyond. It is fully stocked with cooking utensils, dishes and cleaning supplies if you wish to make your own gourmet meals (we offer you the chance to stop off at a nearby grocery store on the way to the villa if you elect to take advantage of the free private transport in from the airport, but more on that later). If you want to eat in but do not feel like cooking yourself, our staff can even arrange the services of a private chef. A supply of drinking water is provided so you do not have to weigh yourself down at the market.

To keep you happy while you are indoors, your villa has newly upgraded combination of central and split air conditioning. Alternatively, you can open the three sets of French doors that face the beach and let the tropical breezes cool your living room and dining areas. For entertainment, there are two flat screen, smart televisions with a recently upgraded multi-lingual cable TV system (100+ channels) and streaming capability. Quality sound systems are available in the Master and living / dining areas. If you want to spend time on the internet, wi-fi is provided and is secure. Or if you want to slow things down a bit, your villa also keeps a supply of games (have you ever played Tommy Bahama Monopoly?), puzzles and books.

Or maybe you want to use your stay as a chance to get some work done. In addition to the secure wi-fi, the villa has created workspaces where one can move the desk provided, plug in a laptop and "work from home". An electrical outlet has also been installed by a worktable with four chairs on the front veranda, so you can work on your laptop in the cool breeze coming off the beach (and hold you zoom meetings with the Caribbean as a backdrop!). If you need a break, a simple look up from the screen and out over the water reminds you that this is not a bad place to get stuck in the "office".

Other on-site services include our resident concierge (more later), a complimentary on-call maid service so you do not have to worry about cleaning up your place, and a 24/7 maintenance crew that maintains the facilities and grounds. To ensure your stay is a safe one, we have security cameras on the property and a professional nighttime guard service.

The luxury experience begins with our representative meeting you at the San Pedro dock or airport with complimentary transport for you and your baggage to Seascape Villas. If you wish, they will stop at a local grocery store along the way to acquaint you with what is on the shelves and allow you to pick up anything you may want to put in your fridge. Once at Seascape, you will be greeted by our resident staff and introduced to your villa and the property. With that, you can easily go for total privacy, enjoying quality time with your family or friends inside Nautilus Del Mar or outside on its two decks, both with unobstructed views of the beach. Or you can wander through the Seascape resort, using the elevated designer pool to bask in the sun and enjoy its own stunning views of the Caribbean. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, sea kayaks, and a tennis court are all part of the Seascape Villas amenities that are free for you to use. (Note - tennis court is currently under renovation but should be available again soon).

Or you can utilize your resident concierge to set you up for other outside activities, such as diving, snorkeling, fishing, parasailing, sailing, or windsurfing (if you decide to go fishing out on the reef, be sure to do so early in your stay as you get to keep your catch, which will give you plenty to cook up in your kitchen!). You can venture even farther afield, having the staff arrange tours to nearby Mayan ruins, jungle rivers, game reserves, or other wonderful outdoor sights.

Excellent bars and restaurants can be found minutes away with a walk along the beach. If you want more, the lively town of San Pedro is a few miles down the paved road, with its extensive array of bars, restaurants, shopping and services. Water taxi's pass frequently by the Seascape pier and can take you there. Alternatively, your staff can arrange for a golf cart rental (four or six seats), the standard mode for getting around the island. The paved road to San Pedro was extended a few years ago to just below Seascape, so the town is only 15 minutes away by golf cart. Secret Beach, a popular place to visit on the lagoon side of Ambergris Caye, is only a 20-minute trip to the west on dirt roads through the jungle. Or you can just explore, taking those dirt same roads further north to the isolated resorts that dot the Caribbean coastline.

If speed is not your thing, slow your mode of transportation down. We have bicycles available so you better enjoy the sights and sounds as your cruise down the roads. Want to get off the roads? Use some f our kayaks to enjoy what the Caribbean has to offer inside the barrier reef. In fifteen minutes of rowing, you can be out to the reef itself, where you can drop over the side and enjoy the world-class snorkelling.

Are you interested in a closer look at your villa, the grounds and your patch of the Caribbean? Check out the sequence of photos / captions we have provided, which will "walk" you through. We know you will like what you see. New photos to come soon!

And once you book, you will be provided with our Seascape Villas mobile phone app. This will provide you with a full range of detail on Seascape Villas, its available services and what the surrounding area has to offer in terms of restaurants and shopping. A list of key contacts is also provided so, wherever you are, you are always just a call away from the assistance of our staff or emergency services.

So, you've made the trip and your bags have been brought to you in your villa. Unpack. Remember that a daily maid service is available to free you from having to worry about keeping the place up, so spend your time focusing on enjoying your vacation. But don’t jump in too quickly. Take your shoes off, prepare a cold drink, go out on the veranda and savor the unobstructed Caribbean views. Move slowly - it's the island way. Let the romance and rhythm of the tropics take over and enjoy your stay at Nautilus Del Mar.

Awesome stay in Belize!
Six of us stayed at Nautilus del Mar and we were not disappointed! The place was great- beautiful property, clean, comfortable, right on the beach. We felt very safe- private but easy to get places. Loved the dock- we often had boat service pick us up- and the pool was great! Zoby, the onsite concierge, planned activities for us, arranged pick ups, airport flights and other services- she was AMAZING! She was super helpful with last minute questions and such as well. (She got us pool floaties and anything else we needed without hesitation!) The owners also had some great recommendations for us as well. All in all, a great trip. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to stay again!

Beautiful Villa!
The villa was beautiful and right on the beach. The water was crystal clear and calm, and the villa is close to great snorkeling! There was more than enough room for my family of 5. We enjoyed all of the comforts of home with smart/cable tvs, full kitchen and washer/dryer. The staff on site was very helpful and quickly addressed any requests. The location on the island was perfect; close to town and restaurants, and not too far from a fun, popular tourist beach with lots of amenities. A golf cart rental is a must! The concierge was very helpful with travel arrangements, restaurant and excursion reservations. The owners also had great recommendations and really cared about our overall experience at the villa. I highly recommend to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful and intriguing country!

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Carol Spencer, Owners, Nautilus Del Mar (Villa #6), Seascape Villas

Host profile image
Mark and Carol recently retired after a long career in the international energy industry. Having enjoyed many years in Asia, Africa and the Middle East assignments, they looked to continue their interest in international travel with time in the Caribbean. After much travel in the region, they landed on Belize, with its natural beauty and developing infrastructure, as the place they wanted to have a permanent vacation home. They have enjoyed their time in-country - Mark is an avid scuba diver / fly fisherman and Carol is a committed beach person / foodie - and would like to share their experiences with others by making their home available for rent.

Why they chose this property

Mark and Carol looked at the Belize market and found Ambergris Caye to be at a stage of tourist development that provided a great range of services, yet plenty of time and space to lose oneself. They thought that Seascape Villas, three miles north of San Pedro Town, provided this. It is a small six-unit resort of large, stand-alone villas that is managed by the owners, with their Nautilus Del Mar villa being only one of two that opens directly onto the beach. With only six units in the resort, it allows them the personal flexibility to run the property as they wish. They have tried to do it with a personal touch. Hopefully you'll come to feel that after dealing with Nick (manager), Lupe (concierge), Said (maintenance), who live on-site and are available 24/7.

What makes this property unique

Mark and Carol are sure that their Nautilus Del Mar villa will immediately captivate you with its unique benefits, just as it has them. Its position directly on the beach, nestled under palm trees and only yards from the water, is only the start. Its unique design, starting with the architectural footprint that was modelled after a Nautilus shell, allows for panoramic views from the common living area, while maintaining a form that keeps the bedrooms parallel with the beach. This allows four rooms to open their French doors onto porches and balconies that have direct access and unobstructed views of the beach and Caribbean beyond. There is no better place to watch the sun come up in the morning over the sea breaking on the nearby reefs. Mark and Carol are sure that you will fall in love with this place, just as they did.
