We're researching all sorts of places to live and one that we're really starting to look into seriously is Belize. We're told Ambergris Caye is a popular area and were wondering what reasonable low budget would be and where to possibly find long term rentals.

For some perspective, we're a couple with an extremely low budget even in California. We have very little bills other than rent, student loans, and utilities. We've managed to live on less than $1000 a month in Cali (though could probably afford more) without any huge problem. We're fine with small places, don't really need much other than internet access (I work from home), and just need somewhere nice and peaceful.

Sorry if these are painfully annoying questions that gets asked all the time.
