Front Street Sea-View House

A solid two-storey concrete home on Front Street in Punta Gorda, looking straight out over the Gulf of Honduras to the Guatemalan mountains on the horizon. Upstairs holds three bedrooms and a breezy sea-facing balcony; downstairs is an open living level with kitchen, dining, and a covered rear patio shaded by an old mango tree.

PG, as everyone calls it, is Toledo's easy-going capital — a fishing town with a lively market, a growing café scene, and daily Maya Island Air flights up the coast. The rainforest, cacao farms, and cave rivers of the deep south start at the edge of town.

Homes on the sea side of Front Street come up rarely and this one is priced for a straightforward sale. An honest house in the most affordable coastal district in Belize.
