Avis

Property was clean, beautifully kept and close to great restaurants. Owners and property manager were great. Highly recommend.

The property listed was simply amazing!! The whole process from check in to check out was as smooth as could be!! Mirko, Sabrina, and Mark were always available and made us feel at home. Highly recommend this property!!

Great property. Awesome hosts in Sabrina, Mark and Tango. Property Manager was very thorough from booking thru visit. Watching the sunrise from the deck swing every morning was amazing and ending the day with a cold beverage at the tiki bar was perfect. Meeting the locals (Victor, the beach security guard; Leticia who made fresh orange juice and her daughter to the little boys selling banana cake in town) made us love Hopkins. The villa had everything we needed for our stay. Fully stocked with kitchen supplies, plenty of towels, beds were comfortable. It was an awesome trip!

Had such a great time at Villa Rising Sun and loved Hopkins! House had everything we needed and more. Very clean and hosts were very helpful giving recommendations for eating out in the village. It was a nice feature to have the bar right on the beach as well. Going to miss the view of waking up to the ocean every morning. We will be back at this rental again for sure!

Villa Rising Sun was perfect for our family of five. We arrived late afternoon; there to great us was not only Mark and Sabrina but Mirko as well. We spent 8 nights at VRS and cherished every one of them. Every other day we enjoyed the amazing beach/dock in the back yard. The care taker Angel, was so very kind and knowledgeable about the vegetation and animals on or near the property. He was kind enough to even let our kids experience fresh coconut right off of a tree. When we were not enjoying the still waters at VRS we were enjoying all that Belize has to offer; fishing, snorkeling, cave tubing and or zip lining. All of the excursions were booked the day before via Mirko and surpassed all of our expectations. Mark and Sabrina (and Tango) could not have been better hosts. From sharing their property to making sure everyone had everything necessary, to providing vast information on local food, people and culture. Mirko was excellent in providing us amazing opportunities on our excursions that all came with awesome guides. We truly enjoyed the time spent at VRS, Hopkins and the surrounding area. Our kids are already talking about a repeat visit next year. Until then, we hope that you too will enjoy VRS as much as we did! Happy in Hopkins!

We enjoyed our time at Villa Rising Sun so much!! The beach at your doorstep, the tiki bar, the accommodations, and mostly the service is all outstanding. Mark and Sabrina go above and beyond to welcome you, take you to all the hotspots in town, and make sure you have everything you could possibly need. The villa is in a great location; getting in and around the town was easy. Everyone we encountered was incredibly hospitable. We would definitely love to return! Thanks to all, who helped us have a fantastic vacation!

My family and I stayed at this property for 9 days. IT IS AMAZING!!!! The owners Sabrina and Mark are absolutely great host so friendly and helpful. Their rental property is definitely a paradise that you must experience. The property manager Mirko was amazing, always made himself available to help us plan and schedule our day trips. We can’t thank him enough, we were a large family so at times some of us were going in different directions and trips and he made it so easy. The house and the beach is so clean it is perfect. We will definitely be back!!!

My family - wife, 3 kids, and mother - and I recently returned from a lovely week in Hopkins, Belize at the Villa Rising Sun. Sabrina and Mark, along with their sweet dog Tango, were unbelievably friendly and helpful house hosts, and Mirko was a responsive and helpful property manager. All three made our trip truly a success. The house, with our living space all on the ground level, was perfect for the kids and the beach (with plenty of trees, fun tiki bar, a picturesque dock) provided the perfect balance of sun and shade that kept us outside most of the time. The only drawback for us on the beach was the sand flies - they are sneaky creatures whose bites take almost days to show up. Luckily Mark and Sabrina had plenty of bug spray - and I recommend applying it multiple times throughout the day. But overall, if you are looking for a mellow, not-too-touristy, friendly spot, Hopkins is your place. The food at the local restaurants was excellent - with plenty of options for different tastes, and the people at not only the shops and restaurants, but also those working at the small resorts in town, were so friendly. We highly recommend Hopkins AND the Villa Rising Sun!
