Blue
Garden House is located
on the blue waters of Placencia lagoon within easy
walking distance to
Placencia
Village
and its attractions - restaurants, shops, cafes, and beach bars. The famous Placencia beach, with its mile long stretch of white sand
where you can lounge under a coconut tree or go for a long swim in the warm
Caribbean sea, is only five minutes’ walk away. It offers the perfect
combination of privacy and easy access to the busy beachfront.
Built in traditional Caribbean style and designed by renowned
eco-architect Hitesh Mehta (whose award winning
projects include some of the top ecolodges in the
world), Blue Garden House is made from hardwoods and sits on a marina
surrounded by a lush garden of fruit trees and flowers, with its own private
dock. From its two balconies overlooking the water, you can see spectacular
sunsets across Placencia Lagoon and the jungle
covered
Maya
Mountains in the distance.
Built in 2001, Blue Garden House is the vacation home of Costas and Sally Christ. Costas is a travel columnist with National
Geographic Traveler magazine and Sally runs Tamu Tours (www.beyondgreentravel.com/tamu-tours/), a tour company
that specializes in organizing customized trips throughout
Belize and wildlife safaris to the continent
of
Africa. They rent Blue Garden House to
visitors so they too can enjoy this special place amid the tropical beauty ofPlacencia. If you have ever dreamed of spending
time in a traditional
Caribbean waterfront
cottage in an idyllic tropical setting and with modern conveniences, Blue
Garden House is for you. Perfect for families, friends and couples.

Guestbook Comments
"What a great week we had in your wonderful house - riding bicycles into
the village, kayaking in the lagoon and swimming at the beach. Thank
you!"
- Katie Prochaska and Mike Bollinger (2006)
"Watching the sunset over the water from the verandah at the end of each
day while sipping a margarita made with fresh limes from your garden - need
we say more? It is paradise!" - Alex Cristy
(2009)
"After 8 days it's hard to say goodbye to Blue Garden House and Placencia. The kids loved fishing from the dock at the
house and we loved the peaceful location near the beach and village (and some
of the best ice cream we have had anywhere)."
- Keith, Robin and the Sproule
Gang (2007)
"We loved kayaking right from your dock into the lagoon. We saw a
manatee really close (we called him "Manny"). We enjoyed eating in
the village (DeTatch Restaurant was our favorite),
the snorkeling and swimming was fantastic and we had
fun watching movies from your DVD collection. In all, a great vacation. We'll
be back!" - The Carley Family (2007)
"It was tranquil, beautiful, comfortable and just what we wanted - time
to kick back and relax in a tropical village. " - Meredith Kennedy
(2007)
