3 Colorado Generations Retreat in Belize
VRBO impressed us. Easy to use, their site’s pictures, descriptions, & reviews were great. Feedback goes directly to VRBO & helps maintain accountability.
In spite of our many changes mostly precipitated by the airlines, our homeowner was remarkably accommodating. Disrupted Christmas travel plans delayed our arrival a week, half of our planned Belize time.
Their home is about 90 miles north, an interesting 3 1/2 hour drive. Roads were good, but lots of construction extended our travel time.
The home accommodated the 8 of us. In a secluded neighborhood with similar, lovely homes on spacious & well cared for yards, an ex-pat, Linda, represents the owner. She, too, was a good source for more recommendations.
Their screened-in porch on the roof was a favorite gathering spot. Overlooking the swimming pool & toward the coast, it has comfortable chairs & hammocks. A similar large porch is on the ground level.
The locals who maintained the pool & groomed the yard were pleasant, as were all we met while shopping, eating out, taking walks, sightseeing, etc. Bikes & other “get-away” items are in a storage unit.
We felt safe our entire trip, never approached by a concerning person. My wife & I were content with our quiet, clean, secluded location with nearby access to walks along the coast. Not far were “mom and pop” shops & restaurants. Their food, served by affable staff, was varied & excellent . We had no concern about cleanliness. Nor, were any locals frenetically obsessed about COVID.
Our grandkids other grandmother lives near a sandy beach on the East Coast. So, beach-time, for them, is a priority. Our shoreline was mostly low rock wall. Sandy beaches are accessible by highway north & south, & water taxis commute to nearby islands.
The airline issues were frustrating & wasted a lot of our time. But, our getaway was unforgettable—3 generations with uninterrupted conversations sharing experiences, hopes, dreams, concerns, & one another’s views on this life—past, present, and future. We prioritize respites, like this, to soak up everyone’s presence together & provide opportunities to consider & discuss important topics like the meaning & purpose of life including its Basic Issues : “Where did I come from?, Why am I here?, & Where am I going?”
With blessings for all of you and your loved ones, Jim and Barb + Ingrid, Grace, Thor, Caleb, Ryan, & Zane.
