Permit to Play – A Beachfront Dream in Surfside, on the Placencia Peninsula – $1,379,000
There are properties you own, and then there are properties that own your heart. Permit to Play is both—a dream beachfront retreat and a thriving, turnkey business in one. Tucked into the sandy beaches of Surfside—one of the peninsula’s most coveted neighborhoods—this stunning beachfront retreat invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and let the rhythm of the Caribbean Sea set your pace.
Set on a rarely available .40-acre beachfront lot, nearly twice the size of most residential lots on the peninsula, the property offers the kind of space and privacy that is becoming almost impossible to find here. The Surfside community benefits from fresh and delicious mountain water, dependable electricity, and high-speed fiber-optic internet, ensuring modern convenience in a tropical paradise. Completed in 2024, the home was thoughtfully crafted by experienced developers who understood not only how to build in Belize, but how to create a refuge that feels both timeless and modern. Strong concrete-and-steel construction ensures peace of mind. Concrete pilings anchor the home securely, while a cistern provides reliable water storage and a solar water heater keeps living both efficient and sustainable. Warm Belizean hardwoods, custom cabinetry, and handcrafted furniture bring a sense of natural elegance. Everywhere you look, large custom windows and glass slider doors frame views of sea and sand, drawing you into the landscape of The Jewel.
Upstairs, the owner’s residence is a personal sanctuary. A hand carved entry door leads to a vaulted great room where a treasure trove of local original art brings the inside to life. Two king bedrooms, each with sweeping sea views and direct access to the oversized veranda, invite quiet mornings with coffee and unhurried evenings with a glass of wine. The master suite is a retreat within a retreat, with its large ensuite, water closet, expansive shower, double vanity, and a lockable walk-in closet. The guest King bedroom offers equal comfort, making every visitor feel at home. There’s a lovely full bathroom and an accessible laundry room. In the heart of it all, a gourmet kitchen gleams with stainless appliances, granite counters, and a handcrafted dining table overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Permit to Play is perfect for lingering meals with family and friends.
Below, the ground-floor apartment is its own private escape. With a full kitchen, airy living space, king bedroom, and futon, it is every bit as refined as upstairs. Whether welcoming guests, offering privacy for extended family, or generating rental income, this apartment makes the home effortlessly versatile.
Outside, the property feels like a tropical resort, but entirely your own. A sparkling saline pool sits on the sand just steps from the sea. The property is bordered by lush landscaping and shaded by palms, sea grapes, cocoplums and more. Snorkel the mini reef of coral heads just off the shore in the clear waters of the Caribbean. An outdoor shower and bathroom make beach days seamless, while a sprawling patio invites long afternoons of sun and laughter. A shaded hammock sways between palms, the perfect spot to drift into an afternoon nap with the sea breeze as your soundtrack. The grounds are dotted with tropical color, yet carefully designed for easy maintenance. Experience ultimate privacy and relaxation on the third-story patio, ideal for private sunbathing, or soaking in stunning sunrise and sunset views over the surrounding landscape. Behind the scenes, thoughtful features include the spacious garage, large storage rooms with accessible utilities, and even an extra fridge for poolside entertaining make life easy. Here, every detail brings you effortless serenity.
And yet, Permit to Play is not just a dream—it is a fully realized business. Offered turnkey, with established branding, glowing guest reviews, and all licenses in place, the home already functions as a profitable Airbnb. Guests fall in love with the setting, the design, and the effortless luxury, returning again and again. For a buyer, the business transfers as smoothly as the home itself, allowing you to step immediately into both ownership and income.
Owning here means more than a residence, it means access to a lifestyle and a thriving community that make Placencia so desirable. Just minutes away, Maya Beach tempts with boutique dining and intimate hotels, while nearby resorts like Naia and Sirenian Bay add indulgences like spas, pickleball, tennis, and yoga. A little farther south, Seine Bight and Placencia Village buzz with culture, cuisine, and annual celebrations like Lobsterfest and Arts Fest. Beyond the peninsula, the adventure only deepens—cast for Permit on the flats, dive the barrier reef, island-hop across turquoise waters, or journey inland to discover waterfalls, Mayan Historical sites, and jungle trails alive with toucans and howler monkeys.
What makes Permit to Play truly rare is that it is all ready, right now. The headaches of building—years of decisions, delays, and compromises—have already been endured. The home is new, the systems modern, the furnishings complete, the gardens flourishing. All that’s left is for someone to arrive, open the door, and begin living the life they’ve dreamed of.
Along the Placencia Peninsula, opportunities this special seldom appear. Permit to Play is your chance to stop dreaming about the Caribbean lifestyle and start living it.
