Lucky Duck Villa - Huge Beachfront, Pool and Pier

Welcome to Lucky Duck Villa! Featured in the 2022 Hallmark Original Movie "Caribbean Summer", Lucky Duck is a unique, custom home located in the quiet Maya Beach area of the Placencia Peninsula. The bright and cheerful villa occupies a palatial ocean front lot with 250 feet of frontage on the Caribbean Sea. Amenities include a private pool, large private ocean pier, mature landscaping and two spacious palapas that are located directly on a beautiful sandy beach.

This 4-story, custom beachfront estate has 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, 2 living rooms, 2 kitchens inside, and an outdoor dining area as well as several covered patios overlooking the ocean.
A spacious, thatch-roof palapa beside the pool provides the perfect outdoor dining and living area right on the beautiful sand beach. The Villa also features an amazing covered "Eagles Nest" deck on the 4th floor that has stunning sunrise and sunset views. Each bedroom in the villa overlooks the beach and is filled with energizing natural light and soothing ocean sounds.

The house is situated in the middle of the huge heavily landscaped lot behind a gated entrance to ensure the utmost in privacy. Extending into the crystalline Caribbean Sea is your own private ocean front pier with covered palapa at the end. The perfect place to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze, watch the sunrise, or take an afternoon siesta.

Lucky Duck Villa is a certified Gold Standard Property by the Belize Tourism Board and meticulously maintained by a dedicated onsite team of careful and attentive house and grounds keepers that live in a separate, detached staff house in a corner of the property. Your Gecko Vacation concierge will ensure your stay is everything you wish for and can coordinate any number of excursions and incredible local experiences.

The first floor of the main villa is a large, open-concept, private master suite. This suite has a king-size bed in the bedroom nook, a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room, a twin chaise lounge, and a gorgeous handmade wardrobe. It also has a small kitchenette with a refrigerator, water cooler, microwave, coffee pot, counter space, and a small kitchen table. There is also a workspace based on a hand carved desk with bookshelves and a WIFI printer. The first-floor patio opens directly to the beach and a large thatch-covered dining and living room adjacent to the pool.

The second floor of the villa consists of a cozy queen-sized private bedroom, bathroom, living room and kitchen. The living area has a twin size chaise lounge, smart TV, DVD player with movies, bookshelf with a handful of books, and a fully equipped kitchen. Enjoy a meal in the dining room with attached workspace or congregate al fresco on the large patio with a pub style table and views of the garden.

The 3rd floor of the villa contains a master bedroom loft with ensuite bath, complete with a private patio that overlooks the ocean and access to a 4th floor eagles nest deck where you can gaze over the peninsula for miles; you can watch the sunrise over the ocean and the sunset over the lagoon.

The apartment enjoys its own private patio with a pub table and amazing views of the beach and ocean.

Housekeepers the Jewel of it all
Carlos and Lobita who where our daily service providers were fantastic. They went above and beyond in cleaning , accommodating and providing us with anything we needed. The house itself was pretty close to it's listing but with some recommendations in improvement as follows: Pro: great location, Carlos kept the grounds impeccable clean. Amazing. Great pier, great air-conditioning, great views, very private, clean pool amazingly kept that way the whole time. Wifi worked great. TV sizes great , games for everyone, first-aid kits in every room. Clean towels, linens floors etc. Amazing. Cons: 8 adults: may be a bit to small. One large central kitchen, not as big as the picture, but manageable, for sure. If you are a coffee drinker, coffee machines not the greatest, could use an update -had to fix it several times. Small kitchenette in the 1st floor level, no sink, and very small 2cup coffee machine, unable to clean anything or throw away liquids due to no sink, but manageable. Most complaints were the following: Beds in all the rooms were very uncomfortable including pull out couch in the the above garage suite. Except, the king size bed in ground level was comfortable. Not enough seating / lounges for 8 adult around pool or by water or on pier, Seating on main deck enough but very uncomfortable due to no cushions. Kitchen undersupplied not enough for 8 people and nothing available for outdoor use (which is were everyone wants to be) recommended plastic glasses , Overall, we managed and enjoyed our stayed very much since it was about family being together, but thought it was overpriced for the type of amenities available (quality of pots, pans, glasses, chairs,coffemachine ,golfcart) . Again, best part were Lobita and Carlos who truly made our stay.
