About this property

Casa Martin, by Island House Vacation Rentals

A privately owned beach house with private beach front garden. This is your dream vacation home! It sits right on West Bay Beach, the private garden between the home and the sea is shaded by coconut palms. Lay in the hammock, enjoy sunsets from the privacy of your deck or easily walk to all that West Bay Beach offers.

Casa Martin is managed by Island House Vacation Rentals. The office is a 3-minute walk away, and guests will be provided with our local phone numbers and will be available via phone, text, as well as messaging. We greet all of our guests at the office so they know how to find us. Prior to your stay, we require you to complete a pre-arrival form and agree to our rental terms and conditions. Secure online payments for direct bookings are processed through a 3rd party payment processor, ChargeAutomation.


Casa Martin is located in West Bay Village directly on Roatan’s West Bay Beach. It is an oasis of 8 privately owned homes directly on West Bay Beach on Roatan, Honduras. Each charming house was built in the traditional island style, with wood construction and spacious decks. All the houses are individually owned and therefore unique in their own charm and character. You will find each home fully furnished to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Guests have access to unlimited wifi and there is cable TV in the living room. There are beach loungers on beach for guest use, and there is a private garden between the beach and the house for Casa Martin guests only.

Casa Martin is the quintessential beach house. It is constructed of wood with wood siding. There is an open floor plan to the living area that flows out to the large, shaded deck. The deck provides guests with direct access to their own private beach garden. West Bay Beach is just beyond that, and the best snorkeling is less than a two-minutes’ flipper kick away.

This exceptional beachfront rental has a king sized master suite with large bathroom. The suite includes two arm chairs which easily convert into small sofa sleepers, suitable for children under 10 years. It has a queen bedroom with en-suite bathroom plus a third bedroom containing two twins (beds can be configured as a king for a couple). A separate bathroom accommodates the third bedroom. All bedrooms are furnished with luxurious locally made Honduran furniture. Attention to detail and high quality linens add comfort and luxury to this incredible beach house.

The living space is open and airy, with tiled floors and a vaulted ceiling. The kitchen has room for everyone, and is well equipped for any meal. The cabinets are made of Honduran hardwood with granite countertops. Off the kitchen is a handmade dining table with seating for 6 (and chairs and room for 8). This flows into the living area complete with comfortable couches, and a flat screen TV with Apple TV. There is another table that offers views of the beach and sea. The whole space is filled with large screened windows and two huge sliding glass doors that lead out to the deck. The screened windows allow guests to enjoy the island breezes, but the entire space is also air conditioned.

Guests will find they spend most of their time on the beautiful deck overlooking the Caribbean. There is a dining table for 8, comfortable lounge seating (arriving December, 2016) and hammocks. A gas grill is provided, as well as an old charcoal grill should guests prefer. The entire deck is covered and kept cool with ceiling fans. Steps down from the deck is a private beach garden for Casa Martin guests, and beyond that are the beach loungers for West Bay Village.

PLEASE NOTE: The base price for this home is for 6 persons. The home can accommodate up to 8 persons on 2 chair sleepers in the master bedroom, for an extra $25 per person per night.

We will arrange your airport transfer to West Bay if you wish, we do so for the majority of our guests.
Everything on West Bay Beach is within walking distance, so there is very little need for transport. Should guests want to leave West Bay, water taxis are available to West End and regular taxis are easily obtained.

Great house!

Casa Martin is a great place to stay when you are looking to be right on the beach but also have some privacy. We enjoyed spending time on the patio as well as having our own private sandy area to lounge in beach chairs.

Best Home in West Bay

We’ve been to Roatan 3 times and have always stayed in West Bay. This is by far the best place we have stayed. The location is absolutely perfect. Beachfront but with plenty of privacy. A huge deck with seating for our entire extended family of 12 people. Could not ask for a better place to stay in West Bay.

Better than it looks

We were pleasantly surprised at how much better this house was in person - the photos made it look a little worn and dated. Check-in was quick and easy. The covered porch was steps from the water, which was so clean and blue. Great beach location. The dock in front of the house is a hub for boats so it can get loud with the coming and going, but that’s a small complaint in the grand scheme of things. Great experience.

Island Dream

My wife and I have traveled to several destinations throughout the Caribbean and this has to be the nicest house we have stayed in. The location was above and beyond our expectations and we look forward to staying with you again. The management company was outstanding and always available to our needs. It is a prime location to all beach activities for the entire family. We went Fishing, Para Sailing & Scuba Diving all right outside our back door. The water taxi's are also extremely convenient to get to West End or other detinations if needed. Thank you again and we are already planning our next stay at Casa Martin. Ken & Victoria Prodan

Awesome beachfront home away from home

The house is amazing! Having 3 bathrooms is definitely a plus when 6 people stay in the house. It feels more like a home that someone moved out of for a week so we could stay. Apple TV you can mirror your phone to and watch videos from a diving trip or excursion that not everyone went on. Bluetooth speaker to have a dance party night. Lots of staples like spices and oils in the pantry so no need to buy. You have your own private beach so the vendors don’t bother you constantly. Security guards are great and refill the foot wash tubs to keep your huge deck nice and clean. The key box outside the door insures you can always get back in without having to keep track of a key. Covered parking spot. Nice beach towels and plenty of them. Outside shower to rinse off. Too many awesome features to list. Definitely recommend this place and will definitely be back. Thank you for the hospitality!

A wonderful haven right on the beach

Three couples spent a great week on Roatan despite the 4 plus days of rain. Having this well furnished, well maintained and lovely home away from home right on the beach was amazing. All of the staff did their best to spoil us and to ensure our comfort!

Found My Happy Place!

We stayed last year next door at St. Mac's Upper, and while both places are beautiful, this one worked best for us with our four little ones and elderly mother. The house is perfect, and you just can't get a better view anywhere. We have been around the world and back again and I can definitely say, this is my happy place. We would return again and again if we are able to, because honestly, it just doesn't get any better than this. Our favorite things are the front porch with the hammocks, table and view, the proximity to worldclass snorkeling right from the beach, and the fact that you never have to put on shoes. Just a short walk down the beach to get to several good restaurants. You can pack light and have laundry done. I can't say enough good things about the house, the location and the people. You are going to LOVE it!

Home was Delightful

What a beauty! The huge kitchen opened to eating area and living room, eating area had seating for 10 plus 4 bar chairs, vaulted ceilings made the airy living space seem even bigger. Two of the bedrooms had a shared full bath, master had a huge bath and there was a full bath in hall. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you could need to cook with. Air conditioning worked great. There was an outdoor shower to wash saltwater off. The deck was awesome. You could watch the sunset and see all the beach 'goings on' from the deck with hammock. Only thing I felt like could be improved would be to add a ceiling fan to the deck as the flies and sand fleas are bad since the deck sits so close to the ground. I slept on one of the twin beds and slept better than I have slept in years. There is a fruit/veg truck that comes weekly and a fish truck that usually comes weekly. The highlight is the location on the beach. The best snorkeling reef is in the ocean directly in front of home! No need to rent a snorkeling tour. Snorkel directly from beach, and the water is usually so calm. Easiest snorkeling I have ever done and see the most beautiful fish! The property managers always answered their cell phones and did everything they could to make our vacation perfect. We always enjoy the food at Infinity Bay, only indoor dining we did was at Vintage Pearl (excellent), and we tried the Argentina Grill (excellent) and all within easy walking distance. We rented catamaran (Roger's cat-cruises) for a sunset cruise and all enjoyed that. Can't wait to return!

Wonderful Family Vacation Spot

Our family called Casa Martin home during our Roatan vacation and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is GREAT. Short walk down the beach to the best snorkeling on the island and to local restaurants. The accommodations were superb. Big rooms, spacious family room and well stocked kitchen, clean beach right in front. We cooked about half our meals here - enjoyed fresh seafood from the Fish Man. Great veranda for morning coffee, reading/napping and meals. On-site security guard and gardener made our stay comfortable. Daily fresh banana donuts from Milton walking the beach with his warm treats were a bit of Lagniappe. Property managers are very friendly and helped make our stay enjoyable.

CASA MARTIN IS OUR FAVORITE

Absolutely Perfect! Drinking coffee in the morning and rum punch at night on the deck with the Caribean Sea and crystal white sand right at your feet. plenty to do and see right here ... No further away than a nice leisurely walk. We will definitely come back here!
