Avis

We stayed at Villa Rising Sun for 6 nights. Our experience was fantastic and we loved our time here. The property is spacious, private, clean, with a fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals and everything is very well maintained. The location is also great. You are close enough to stores, restaurants and the things Hopkins has to offer, but in an area where you feel like you are at your own private resort. Mark and Sabrina are awesome hosts. They ensured we had everything we needed to make our time in Hopkins that much more comfortable and enjoyable/memorable. Cheers Mark and Sabrina, and thank you! Mirko was great, and always responsive. Assisting with various questions throughout the reservation process, coordinating transportation to and from the airport, putting us in touch with James to get a golf cart, and booking all of our excursions, and making the process virtually seamless for us. We just needed to know what time to be ready to leave, and the rest was taken care of. Mirko removed a lot of the things that can be stressful during vacation - allowing us to focus more on enjoying our time and the activities we chose to do. On a couple of the evenings during our stay, we also asked Shelly to prepare some authentic local meals for us. Once we chose from the suggestions she made, she picked up the groceries and brought everything over to the villa to cook the meals. The food was absolutely delicious, and another one of the great experiences we had during our time staying at Villa Rising Sun! Unfortunately, our vacation had to end, but thank you all for the memories! Overall, we had a great experience from start to finish, and loved our time at Villa Rising Sun. My family and I would highly recommend this property if your travels take you to this area.

This is a fantastic property! It its own dock and a lovely beach bar. When it's finally time to go inside, the accommodations are BEAUTIFUL and so comfortable. The hosts/owners, Mark & Sabrina, are friendly and so very helpful. It's like staying with dear family. Mark takes new guests on a tour of Hopkins and provides many helpful tips and information.

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!
