Peace and quiet with ocean view
Oakridge is at the quiet end of Roatan and that's what we were looking for. This cottage is on the Cay (island) which makes it even quieter. You access the property by water taxi which is fun. No cars, no dogs barking, no roosters. The view from the deck is gorgeous and we spent many hours relaxing in the hammocks there. The reef drop off is about a hundred feet off the shore. Great snrokeling. Equipment provided. It's tricky to access the reef from the property but easy from the Reef House dock (ask Keith of Davey) or the beach nearby. The Reef House is a two minute walk away which is great for scuba diving and their bar provides simple pub food. But we did almost all of our own cooking. The kitchen in the cottage was well equipped missing only a kettle. Bring herbs and spices as only salt and pepper is provided. The internet is fine for zoom calls and Netflix (we used our own account). The master bedroom has an ocean view and a nice ensuite. The second bedroom is a lot smaller but also has its own bathroom. Both have modern A/C which we rarely used.
Ricardo was an excellent property manager with many tips for enjoying the area. For day trips, we hired a water taxi to take us up the east shore to snorkle and one day we hired a taxi and went to Paya Bay on the North shore. They have lovely beaches and a beautiful restaurant on a bluff. You can access their property for $5/day. This cottage is off the beaten track but with a fridge full of food you won't want to leave.
