Residences at Barrier Reef sits on the reef side of Ambergris Caye, four miles north of San Pedro Town. It is a quiet, gated condo community that draws owners who want sunrise views over the Caribbean, the convenience of a true turnkey product, and the kind of on-site infrastructure that makes part-time ownership easy.
Unit 5A is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom condo with 1,900 square feet of total usable living space, broken down into 1,500 indoors and another 400 in covered outdoor living. Glass doors in the main living area open all the way and merge the two spaces into one continuous indoor-outdoor room, with the sea view front and center from the moment you walk in.
The current owners have invested meaningfully in the unit over the past few years, and it shows. In 2025 they installed brand-new A/C units, new ceiling fans, and a new kitchen faucet. The bones of the unit, finished in 2016, have held up well, and the recent upgrades mean a buyer steps into a low-maintenance starting point rather than a punch list.
Turnkey here means turnkey. The unit conveys with everything a new owner needs to walk in and start enjoying it the same week, including the 55-inch Smart TV, linens, the full knife set and small appliances in the kitchen, a wireless printer, and the rest of the kitchen and household setup. The current owners are taking only personal items like photos and clothing.
The resort itself is one of the more established condo communities on this stretch of the island. Owners share the pool, the pier, and 24/7 security, and the building feels lived-in by people who actually use their units rather than just hold them. The reef-side location means quieter days at the dock, snorkeling within easy reach, and sunrise views you can take in with morning coffee on the balcony.
The location splits the difference between town and the quieter north end. At 4 miles north, it's a 15-minute golf cart ride to San Pedro for groceries, restaurants, the airstrip, and town life, while still being far enough out to feel removed from the busy Boca Del Rio corridor. Secret Beach, dive shops, and tour operators are all within easy distance.
For a buyer looking for a fully finished sea view condo at this price point, with recent updates already done and the option to use it personally or set it up as a vacation rental, RBR 5A is the kind of clean, simple opportunity that doesn't require a project plan to enjoy.
