Find furnished condos for rent across Belize — San Pedro, Placencia, Caye Caulker, Corozal and beyond. Real 2026 price ranges, a live cost estimator, and a direct line to inquire. No guessing.
Pick a zone, beds, and how much A/C you’ll run. Get a realistic all-in monthly estimate.
Renting a condo in Belize is one of the smartest ways to experience the country — whether you’re escaping winter for a few months, working remotely with the Caribbean out your window, testing the waters before a move, or just want a real home base instead of a hotel room. A furnished condo gives you a kitchen, a washer, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and usually a pool or a beach view, often for less than you’d spend on nightly stays.
But Belize isn’t one market — it’s several. Prices on Ambergris Caye run in US dollars and climb the closer you get to the water, while mainland towns like Corozal and San Ignacio stretch your budget much further. Leases, utilities, and what’s actually included vary a lot from one landlord to the next. This guide lays out the real price ranges by location, gives you a live cost estimator, helps you match a zone to your lifestyle, and walks you through the things smart renters confirm before they wire a deposit. Then, when you’re ready, you can tell us exactly what you’re looking for and we’ll help you find it.
Each area has a different price point, pace, and personality. Here’s how they compare.
The center of island life — groceries, banks, clinics, dining, and nightlife all within a golf-cart ride. Walkable, lively, and convenient, with condos from compact 1BRs to roomy 2BRs.
The developing corridor north of San Pedro — resort-style condos with pools, gyms, reef views, and privacy. Higher rents and longer lease minimums, ideal if you want space and quiet.
A 16-mile peninsula running Placencia Village to Seine Bight to Maya Beach. Walkable village life, solid fiber internet, and a thriving remote-work and snowbird community at gentler prices than the cayes.
The budget-stretching mainland — Corozal near the Mexican border and San Ignacio in the jungle interior. Charming homes and condos for far less, popular with seasoned expats and longer-term residents.

Typical 2026 monthly ranges in US dollars. Most leases run 6 months or a year, and renters usually pay utilities.
| Location | 1BR / Studio | 2BR | Lease & notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| San Pedro (town) | ~$1,000–$1,500 | ~$1,350–$2,100 | 1-yr common; tenant pays utilities |
| North Ambergris | ~$1,500–$2,500 | ~$2,000–$3,500+ | Resort-style; longer minimums |
| Placencia | ~$800–$1,150 | ~$1,250–$1,900 | 6-mo & 1-yr; some utilities incl. |
| Corozal | ~$450–$900 | ~$900–$1,200 | Best value; some incl. water/Wi-Fi |
| Cayo (San Ignacio) | ~$500–$850 | ~$850–$1,150 | Jungle interior; expat communities |
Ranges are market estimates and move with season and demand. A shaded, breezy unit can cost far less to cool than a sun-exposed one — electricity is the biggest variable.
The rent number is only half the story. Before you commit to a Belize condo, get clear on the full monthly picture — it’s what separates a smooth stay from an expensive surprise.
Currency is simple. The Belize dollar is permanently pegged at BZ$2 to US$1, so converting is easy and the rate never moves. Many rentals, especially on the islands, are quoted directly in US dollars. You’ll handle both currencies day to day, and US cash is widely accepted.
Electricity is the wild card. Belize Electricity Limited charges tiered residential rates that rise as you use more, starting around BZ$0.34 per kilowatt-hour for the lowest block and climbing from there. Air conditioning is by far the biggest swing factor: two identical condos can produce very different bills if one is shaded and breezy and the other bakes in the sun and needs the A/C running all day. Always ask the landlord for the unit’s actual recent usage history rather than guessing.
Confirm what’s included. “Move-in ready” means different things to different landlords. Some include water, Wi-Fi, or even all utilities; others leave everything to the tenant. Get a written list covering rent, which utilities are included, internet, any HOA or strata rules (parking, pets, quiet hours), deposit terms, and the minimum lease. Putting it in writing before you pay a deposit protects you and sets clear expectations.
For most travelers, getting in is easy. Belize grants visa-free entry for 30 days on arrival, and you can extend month by month at a local immigration office for a small fee, typically up to around six months. That covers most snowbirds and long-stay visitors without any advance paperwork.
If you’re thinking longer term, there are two main paths. The “Work Where You Vacation” digital nomad program lets remote workers stay while working for a foreign employer, with income requirements of around US$75,000 for individuals and US$100,000 for couples or families, plus health coverage of at least US$50,000. Retirees often use the Qualified Retired Persons (QRP) program, which offers extended residency and tax benefits to those who qualify. Whichever path fits, renting first is the natural way to test a town before you commit to anything permanent.

Move into your furnished condo and start living the Belize you came for — whether that’s a season, a remote-work stint, or a trial run at a new life.
The biggest decision most renters face is islands versus mainland, and it really comes down to lifestyle and budget. The cayes — Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker — deliver the postcard version of Belize: turquoise water out your door, world-class diving and snorkeling minutes away, and a social, walkable island scene. You pay for that proximity, especially north of San Pedro’s bridge where resort-style condos with pools and reef views command the highest rents in the country.
The mainland trades some of that beachfront glamour for space and value. Placencia splits the difference beautifully: a narrow peninsula with genuine beach, a walkable village, surprisingly fast fiber internet, and a thriving community of remote workers and snowbirds at prices well below the cayes. Go further inland to Corozal or San Ignacio and your money stretches dramatically — charming homes and condos for a few hundred dollars a month — though you trade the Caribbean for border-town calm or jungle scenery. There’s no wrong answer, only the one that fits how you want to spend your days and your budget.
Whether you’re dreaming of retiring to Belize, working remotely for a season, or just escaping a northern winter, renting a condo is the low-risk way to find out if a place truly fits before you commit. You learn the rhythm of a town, test the internet and the commute, meet the community, and figure out which zone feels like home — all without the weight of a purchase. Many people who eventually buy in Belize started exactly this way, with a long-term rental that let them try the lifestyle on for size.

The right neighborhood within a town matters as much as the town itself. Here’s the on-the-ground detail.
People say “Ambergris Caye” and “San Pedro” interchangeably, but the island is bigger than the town. San Pedro town is the dense, walkable core where you’ll find groceries, banks, ATMs, clinics, and most day-to-day errands — condos here trade a bit of quiet for unbeatable convenience. South of town is a popular middle ground: residential stretches and condo communities still within a short golf-cart ride of services but with less noise and foot traffic. North of the bridge is the island’s premium frontier — resort-style developments with pools, gyms, and reef views, emphasizing privacy and longer leases. The tradeoff is the commute: getting into town from far north can take twenty to forty-five minutes depending on road conditions, which is blissful if you want seclusion and a hassle if you need town daily.
Placencia is a sixteen-mile peninsula with distinct personalities along its length. Placencia Village at the southern tip is the walkable heart — services at your door, the famous sidewalk, the strongest community feel, and the liveliest scene. Seine Bight in the middle offers cultural immersion, local markets, and good value, with Garifuna and Creole life woven into everyday rhythm. Maya Beach to the north-central is quieter and family-friendly, with restaurants along the beach road and villas with pools. The far north toward Plantation opens up to larger parcels and serious privacy. Lagoon-side pockets throughout offer sunsets, docks, and breezes that anglers and remote workers love. If you want walkability, lean south; if you want space and calm, lean north.
For renters whose priority is stretching a budget, the mainland delivers. Corozal sits on a bay near the Mexican border — calm, affordable, and a well-kept secret among expats, with move-in-ready condos that often include water and Wi-Fi for around a thousand dollars or less. Cayo, centered on San Ignacio in the jungle interior, swaps the Caribbean for rivers, ruins, and rolling green, with rentals starting even lower and a community of seasoned expats who’ve traded beach for value and nature. Neither offers turquoise water out the door, but both let your money go dramatically further, which is exactly the point for many longer-term residents.
When you arrive shapes both your options and your price. Belize’s dry season runs roughly November through May, which is also peak tourist season — the most pleasant weather, but also the highest demand and rates for short-term and vacation rentals. If you’re hunting for a long-term lease, arriving in late fall is the sweet spot: you can secure a place and compare options before peak-season turnover drives availability down and prices up. The green season from June to November brings more rain and humidity but also better deals and easier negotiation on longer terms.
Whatever the season, budget for the whole picture rather than just the rent. Beyond your monthly rent, plan for electricity — the big variable, driven almost entirely by air conditioning — plus internet if it isn’t included, water, propane for cooking, groceries, and local transport like a golf cart on the islands or a bike in the villages. A couple sharing a comfortable mainland apartment, with private health insurance and some meals out, often lands around two thousand US dollars a month all-in, while island living runs higher because nearly everything is imported. The renters who are happiest in Belize are the ones who built a realistic total budget before they arrived, not just a rent figure.
Above all, give yourself room to adjust. Many people land in one zone, discover it isn’t quite the fit they imagined, and move to another that suits them better — from the buzz of San Pedro to the calm of Placencia, or from the beach to the budget-friendly mainland. That flexibility is the whole advantage of renting. Start with a lease that doesn’t overcommit you, use this guide to set expectations, and let your first few months teach you where in Belize you truly want to be.
