My wife and I are semi retired (our income mostly comes from very easy to manage rental properties in Central Maine). We have always dreamed of having a small place in the tropics. though I love my learning of Spanish, my wife does not know Spanish and so I think Belize makes a great deal of sense for us to being "researching". I've got 3 places in mind in order of "probability". 1.) Placencia, 2.) Ambergris Cay 3.) Cay Caulker (spelling?). I'm a introvert, wife is extrovert. We want to be "rural" but close to a few bars, restaurants, PEOPLE, and of course, not an all day drive to the airport or good shopping when needed. I'm guessing Caulker will be a little TOO rural but have heard NOTHING but good about Placencia. We value being directly on the water, close enough to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. Pretty simple. (And pretty expensive, I know!). I know "boots on the ground" is really necessary, though I'd like to narrow down. What parts of Placencia might we check out first, given what bit of info I've given?
