A Couple Want to Escape the Brutal Canadian Winters and Buy a Vacation Cabin on the Placencia Peninsula in Belize

Canadians Antonio and Alison Marquez have been living in Victoria, British Columbia for more than 10 years now, traveling to warmer climates during the vicious winters. They decided to buy a vacation home in Belize where they can spend the winter holidays basking in the sun. The biggest challenge is finding the right property for that's within their $150,000 budget and is a short walk to the beach. Their needs are pretty simple - a one-room cabin would be fine, as long as it has a view of the water, good-sized kitchen and enough room to have a living area and bedroom space.
