Out-of-the-Box Design • Unobstructed Caribbean Views • Modern Island Living
Ready for a vacation that breaks away from the ordinary? Welcome to Box House Boca Ciega, a uniquely designed oceanfront retreat crafted from repurposed shipping containers and elevated to capture spectacular, unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea.
Located approximately four miles south of San Pedro on Ambergris Caye, Belize, this one-of-a-kind home combines modern urban style with tropical island living. Industrial-inspired details, native Belizean hardwood cabinetry, polished concrete countertops, and expansive floor-to-ceiling patio doors create a distinctive space that feels both contemporary and connected to its natural surroundings.
Experience Box House Boca Ciega for yourself: Take the Virtual Tour
A One-of-a-Kind Home with a View
Designed with an open-concept layout, Box House Boca Ciega brings the kitchen, living area, and studio-style bedroom together in one bright, airy space. Its minimalist aesthetic allows the architecture and breathtaking ocean views to take center stage, while thoughtful touches add warmth and character.
The home's original shipping-container flooring, complete with its preserved rivets, celebrates its unconventional construction. Native hardwood cabinetry brings a touch of Belizean craftsmanship, creating a memorable blend of industrial design and tropical charm.
The fully equipped kitchen features full-size stainless steel appliances, concrete countertops, small appliances, cookware, and everything you need to prepare meals at home. Please note that the kitchen includes a stovetop but does not have an oven. A convenient breakfast bar with stools serves as the dining area.
The comfortable living space includes a full-size futon sofa and television, while the studio-style bedroom features a king-size bed, television, closet space, and a nearby private bathroom. The modern bathroom includes a concrete vanity countertop and a spacious tiled walk-in shower. A separate large closet provides additional storage, and a tucked-away washer/dryer adds convenience for longer stays.
Air-conditioning is available throughout the home, but when the tropical breeze calls, simply open the expansive patio doors and let the ocean air flow through.
Your Private Front-Row Seat to the Caribbean
The elevated design of Box House Boca Ciega makes the sea an integral part of the experience. Floor-to-ceiling patio doors connect the interior to the outdoors, allowing the Caribbean landscape to become part of your everyday surroundings.
Step onto the wide, east-facing veranda that stretches across the entire front of the home. It's the perfect place to greet the morning with a cup of coffee, watch the sun rise over the water, or spend a quiet afternoon enjoying the sea breeze.
Whether you're relaxing in the living area, preparing breakfast, or unwinding in the bedroom, the ocean is always close by.
This isn't your typical beachfront rental. It's a thoughtfully designed architectural retreat for travelers who appreciate distinctive spaces, modern comforts, and a spectacular setting.
Make It a Two-Unit Escape with the Casita
Traveling with another couple, friends, or family who would appreciate their own space? Enhance your stay by adding the Box House Boca Ciega Casita, located just behind the main house.
The separate casita accommodates two guests and features:
A comfortable queen-size bed
A kitchen
A private bathroom
Air-conditioning and a ceiling fan
An outdoor deck with seating
The main oceanfront home accommodates two guests, with a full-size sleeper sofa offering additional sleeping flexibility. The casita provides separate accommodations for two more guests, making the combination an appealing option for a small group seeking both togetherness and privacy.
Important booking information: The casita is not included in the main home's standard reservation. It must be booked separately through its own listing. If you'd like to reserve both properties together, please contact us for assistance.

Perfect spot to stay and explore the island. Set south of town, this place is the perfect way to have relaxing evenings outside the busier san pedro. Short golf cart ride to anywhere (make sure you rent one, you'll need it). Beautiful property with all the amenities you'd need. Host was very responsive and helpful. Wonderful stpot to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset (in February, anyway). Stop looking and just book this one, you won't regret it!

The Box House was everything we hoped for: gorgeous views, comfortable, and clean. Communication was great both before and during our trip. They helped us book our golf cart and our snorkeling trip. We very much enjoyed our stay there.

Honeymoon stay
We had the best time at Box House Boca Ciega. It was absolutely stunning. We used this place as our honeymoon suite and couldn’t have been happier. The town is friendly, many fun restaurants to dine and relax at, and you’ll never run out of things to do.

Quiet place in a busy town
Place is nice. Description was accurate. It’s a little far from town, so you should get a golf cart. Manager was very helpful with pointing us in the right direction for golf cart rentals and other activities.

Remote and Private Paradise
We adored this house! It is very remote (if you come definitely rent a golf cart!) but we enjoyed the privacy and serenity of this location. The palapa and backyard are beautiful. All of the home’s interior amenities are lovely and comfortable as well. Can’t recommend this enough!

Clean, modern, with a great view!
The house was as advertised. Very clean, comfortable, and an amazing location in a quiet neighborhood. The kitchen had every amenity needed (including sharp knives). Jessi's team was a huge help and made sure everything went smoothly, including delivering groceries before we arrived, so we could relax and start our vacation. It was the perfect getaway and we enjoyed every minute there.

Beautiful!
We enjoyed our stay here! The location on the south side of the island was great and away from the hustle and bustle of town. You definitely need to rent a golf cart, which Jessi facilitated for us. It’s easy to get to town by golf cart and fun to explore the island. The property is as shown in the pictures. We felt safe here and there is a cluster of homes surrounding the property, so you’re not alone.

Comfort and solitude
We loved the unique structure but when we got there, we fell in love with the view, dock, comfort of the space and the quiet neighborhood. All the amenities are provided and add ins were offered. The space was super clean and well designed. I’m just sorry we couldn’t stay longer and we were sad to leave. Love love love this property.

Box House Vacation
We stayed at the Box House during the holidays. It was the perfect place for us. Away from the busy city centre, on the ocean, with constant views. We enjoyed the privacy, and getting everywhere on a golf cart was a breeze. Jessi was there to answer any questions we had and helped us with groceries for when we arrived. He also helped us look into excursions.
Our entire experience was amazing! We will be back.

Amazing stay
We loved our stay at the Box House. The views of the ocean were breathtaking and the house had everything we needed for our vacation. Even better than the house was the support from Jessi!! From arranging our flights to San Pedro and golf cart rental to answering our questions about the area and things to do - and even delivering groceries to our house prior to our arrival. Jessi was amazing and very responsive!!

Beautiful View
Everything was just as advertised in the listing. Great views, beautiful yard the inside was like brand new. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was just perfect. We watched the boats go by in the morning and the waves on the reef. There was even an iguana show everyday in the yard. Beautiful male and his girls. All in all it was a perfect location for privacy and all access to the island. Jessi our liaison was very attentive to all our needs and made everything easy. We thank you for such a wonderful house.

Quiet neighborhood, great views!
After spending three weeks at different locations in Belize, my husband and I wanted to spend a week by ourselves enjoying the beautiful waters of the Caribbean. This was just the ticket for us! Beautiful sunrises and pelicans, birds, and iguanas to watch! We shopped at Superbuy for our groceries and did most of our own cooking….it is a 20-30 minute ride into the center of San Pedro, however there are some other options around if you want to eat every meal out. Jessi communicated well and all went without a hitch!

Great place to stay if you’re looking to get away from the crowds. The host was amazing and responsive to our messages during our day. The food in San Pedro is amazing and you can’t get a bad meal on the island! One of our favorite places to eat, ended up being the hula bar, which is less than five minutes away from the house and has amazing chicken tacos!The views from the house are picturesque and you can’t beat them. The pier is private and we enjoyed sun tanning on it during our stay. The only downside is the beach isn’t really conducive to walking as there is quite a bit of seaweed that comes up in that area. Plenty of other beaches on the island to get to easily so it wasn’t an issue for us. We loved taking day trips up to secret beach and enjoying the water on that side of the island. I would recommend flying into Belize and staying there for a couple of days first to do some tours if that’s something that you’re interested in and then taking an inner island flight over to San Pedro for the rest of your stay. The cost to get back-and-forth from Belize to San Pedro can add up for excursions if you don’t do it that way. I would highly recommend getting a golf cart reservation through the property manager as we had issues when we booked through a third-party company and ended up having to get a golf cart through the property manager at the last minute.The property is easy to get in and out of and very comfortable!

We found the Box House very cool and unique. We really liked the layout and it was quite comfortable. We also liked the fact that it was in a quieter area away from town. That being said, there are a few things that should be addressed: 1, when we arrived, we found the grounds and landscaping clean and well maintained. However when we went to walk out to the dock, we found the area between the property and the water line completely filled with trash, and garbage. There was also trash (empty beer and water bottles) at the end of the dock. We were disgusted! I cannot believe a company would feel that it is okay to rent a property in this condition. No other surrounding properties were like this. 2, the photos on Vrbo show two nice Adirondack chairs out at the end of the dock. These did not exist. 3, the photos also show two nice chaise lounge chairs on the sand. These also did not exist. 4, I did see (after the fact) that the dock was public between 6am and 6pm. This proved to be quite an issue as every time we were hoping to use the dock to enjoy the sunset, there was some couple out there having a makeout session. In addition, there were no beach chairs to take out to the dock if we wished to do so. 5, correspondence said that there was a phone to make local calls. After looking everywhere, we could not locate this phone. In the end, it was a bit of a disappointment. The property has so much potential. I hope they can address these issues for future guests.

Unforgettable vacation
We really enjoyed the privacy of the rental! We booked massages, Tropic air tickets, and a golf cart through Jessi, the guest experience manager and it helped so much! We even needed to make a change to our return flights to BZE and Jessi took care of it immediately. Just to be forewarned the property is a bit far from everything so a golf cart is an absolute necessity. It takes about 15 mins to get to town via golfcart but there are some restaurants closer. There are power issues and we had several power outages, one was 14 hours (no fault of the property owner, just be aware) we happened to bring a flashlight which turned out to be very helpful! The only thing that was missing was a full length mirror, the mirror in the bathroom is pretty tall so I wasn't able to see my outfits. When it was clear weather you can see the boats at the Hol Chan Marine reserve and see Caye Caulker. There are Pelicans fishing off the dock all day which we enjoyed watching.

Perfect scuba getaway
We last visited Ambergris Caye for a family scuba diving trip in 2018 with our 2 adult children so to celebrate my wife's retirement we decided to return for another dive trip but this time without the kids. The Box House was perfect for the two of us. The box house is unique, two freight containers side by side mounted on concrete pilings on its own private beach. The side facing the ocean consists of large sliding glass doors that afford an unobstructed view of the ocean and lead out onto a narrow balcony that is perfect for enjoying a drink and game of cards or backgammon in the afternoon after a day of diving. The kitchen is small but perfectly adequate for our needs. King size bed was comfortable with views to the ocean. Bathroom and shower clean and worked as expected. Anyone staying here will need to rent a golf cart and the house is about 20-25 minutes from San Pedro. The road, especially the unmade part, is pretty bumpy but really this is all part of the fun of being away from the main vacation areas further north. The house manager, Jessi Betancourt, arranged a golf cart rental for us prior to arrival and we were met at the airport by the rental agent. We dove with Belize Pro Divers who I highly recommend. They picked us up in the morning and dropped us off after the dive at the dock that extends out from the Box House beach.The Box House was perfect for our stay and I look forward to staying there again on our next trip.

Wonderful Stay to celebrate our 20th Anniversary
We had an amazing stay at the box house! My husband and I felt safe in the neighborhood, enjoyed getting to know the lovely neighbor on one side, and spent countless hours on the dock overlooking the water. I would be sure to request the chairs be set out on the dock before your arrival. My husband had to carry them off the porch, through the house, down the stairs and down the dock - they're nice, heavy, comfy chairs so it was quite a chore. We were able to park our rented golf cart inside the gated property. Since we were a 20sih minute ride into town we loved the slower pace and seclusion in Boca Ciega. There are plenty of awesome places to eat and drink nearby without going into San Pedro, but you will want to shop in town at the larger grocery stores where the selection and prices are better. (We preferred Super Buy near Elvi's) Overall the house was perfect. My only suggestions would be more hooks/towel bars through out the house for small bags & towels, kayaks or paddle boards available to rent or borrow (the water is only 2-3 feet deep at the end of the dock so you'll want to venture out a little to swim or snorkel) and chairs already on the dock upon arrival.
Bed was a comfortable memory foam, linens and towels were great and plentiful (4 beach towels also available) kitchen was well stocked and a 5 gallon water bottle was full upon arrival.
Highly recommend!
