| House Dock(s) One unique feature of the Decked Out House is its frontage on a 110 ft wide marina. One can swim or fish right off the house's private dock, located 20 ft from the house's front deck. It's a great place to relax with a cool cocktail, beer, or soft drink in hand. Here is where you launch the house's sturdy and stable canoe or board a boat for a day of scuba diving or water touring. The road side dock: the Hokey Pokey water taxi, shown at the bottom of this page, will stop at a common subdivision dock located 100 ft away, on the driveway side of the house. The Hokey Pokey provides a 10 minute ride to Independence (aka Mango Creek), where one can make frequent and good bus connections to the rest of Belize. The water taxi fee is only $5 US/person/each way. On your way to Independence, you travel with local people through gorgeous mangrove lined canals. It is a recommended trip for your first or second day if you just want to relax, while doing non-taxing activities. |

| Lizard Loo The main level bath is coined the "Lizard Loo". It has lots of lizards living there. The most notable one loves to surprise guests when they are least expecting him. He still has no name but deserves one for bringing guests so many chuckles. Would you like to enter our "Name the lizard contest"? Don't let all those lizards fool you into thinking that just becuse they help decorate that they where the brains behind the decor . In fact, they have a very well appointed home by human standars.

 | North of the Border Nook This small all purpose room is separated from the kitchen by double pocket doors. It is a TV room, office, eating or sleeping room. There is a corner sitting area that also also serves as two very comfortable single beds: one regular length and one extra long one. They can be placed together and fit tightly next to each other. This room is considered the house's fourth bedroom and is the only one without its own private bath. The "Nook" is the only room in the house that is air conditioned. Most of the time air-conditioning is not needed as the house is designed to take advantage of the cooling Caribbean Sea breezes. There is also an over abundance of ceiling fans (17 in all). The temperature drops each evening substantially. Yet, it would not be honest if it were implied that there's never a hot day. Should that be the case, this air-conditioned nook is here for your comfort.

Its hosts a custom made king bed consistently of two tightly fitted long twins topped with a king size mattress. It can be separted for those wanting separate beds. This room is large enough for a whole family as it also has bunk beds, loveseat and a table for 4. The north facomg french doors open to a sun deck. Its custom mahogony louvered casement windows open to offer gorgeous westward views of the lagoon. A large glass door on the south side opens onto the large third floor deck. At first the Nautical room was coined the "men's room" by staff, due to the interesting woods and the sterotyping of men as favoring lots of wood. But that sterotype didn't hold up long as many women are just thrilled with the room. As anticipated, the children take to it too.
