Beautiful spacious beach front condo! Very clean, good sized bed rooms and a huge living room/ dining room area. Steps from West End, which was easy to reach by a walk way around the point. Right next to Las Rocas dive center and their restaurant.
Everything was as projected. No complaints. Great location. Short walk to the bars and restaurants but far enough to be quiet at night

Nice stay
Check in was terrible, it was difficult to get there with no exact address. Host was unreachable ( no response) and had to wait in the heat. Luckily I found Mr. Tulio who works there and the host did answer his call. All to then find out there was a lockbox with the key. And she had told me to wait for someone with the key. After that our stay was nice, it has everything you need and the view and location are great.
This was our third trip to Roatan. The first two years we stayed in a resort on the other end of the beach but decided this time we wanted away from the all the crowds but still be on West Bay Beach. We found this unit and it was just that and more. Only six units in the complex and literally a few steps to the water. Restaurant is right next door with plenty of other options a short walk up the beach or water taxi to West End. Connie has stocked the condo will everything you need to cook your own meals. Plenty of linens including beach towels. New washer and dryer so you don't have to pack a lot of clothes. Locals come by each morning with fresh baked banana bread and we even bought lobster from a young man one afternoon. Connie was very responsive to all my messages before and after we arrived. We have already made reservations for next year.

Excellent location, washer/dryer, bedding, ac and internet
Location was very good and quiet within short walking distance to west bay. Place could use some work. A few knives were broken, door handle to bedroom hanging, patios door handle hanging and kitchen cabinet hanging. Washer/dryer was essential😊lots of towels/blankets available. Deck and patio furniture were covered with dust from nonstop construction in the back of the villa. Villa was probably amazing when it was new .
This condo was the perfect location. It was an easy walk to West bay but away from the crowds. You could also walk the opposite direction to West End . It was a little bit further of a walk, but not bad. The dive resort next door had a restaurant and for 25$ , we could jump aboard the dive boat for a ride to go snorkeling or catch the water taxi. There was a onsite employee that raked the sand and cleaned the pool everyday. Connie was fabulous, she immediately took care of a unexpected problem we encountered on arrival. There were towels, toilet paper, bug spray, paper towels, beach towels and blow dryer included.. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the pool or balcony. And if someone comes around selling banana bread , buy it.!!! It was delicious. . we had a wonderful stay.
Property was super clean and had all new appliances. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans and cooking utensils. Beds were comfortable and there were lots of sheets, comforters and towels. The view from the back deck was amazing. We walked to restaurants and shops in West Bay and took a water taxi, located right next door, to the West End. Connie was very responsive the few times I reached out to her.
Our only concern was the pool deck as it was not in great shape. The side by the water was beyond needing replacement and there were no handrails to assist getting in or out of the pool. However, Tulio kept the grounds raked and cleaned up daily and John was always available if there were any concerns. He did assure us that plans to replace the pool deck were in the works.

Perfect Location!
This condo is seriously in the perfect location! We loved that we could walk to the West Bay and that water taxis, restaurants & bars are so close! The condo was in great condition & very clean when we arrived. It was fully stocked with dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, toilet paper...etc. We utilized the kitchen quite a bit which was also fully stocked. We were really impressed with the cold AC! There is no need to leave it on when you leave the condo because it takes minutes to cool down the whole house when you get back. We did lose power a couple of times but the generators kicked on pretty quick. We used our driver Stephen on multiple occasions. He was prompt and on time and very knowledgeable about the island! Eldons supermarket was bigger than I expected and has tons of American brands! Bring or buy plenty of bug spray. The sand fleas/flies or whatever they are, are pretty bad. We had an amazing time & will definitely book this condo again!
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this vacation rental and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home.
The amenities provided were top-notch. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy for me to prepare meals, and the spacious living area was perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a long day of exploring. The complimentary Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay.
One of the highlights of this rental was its stunning location. Situated on a picturesque beach, I was treated to breathtaking views every morning. The proximity to local attractions and amenities made it convenient for me to explore the area and experience everything it had to offer.
The communication and customer service provided by the rental owner were exceptional. They were prompt in responding to any inquiries I had and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their attention to detail and personalized touch truly made a difference.
Overall, my experience at this vacation rental was nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway. From the beautiful accommodations to the outstanding customer service, this rental deserves a well-deserved five-star rating. I can't wait to return for another memorable stay.
We had a fantastic stay! The location was perfect—just a short walk to West Bay Beach, with amazing snorkeling at the far end. The deck was a highlight, offering beautiful views of the ocean and pool. We especially loved relaxing in the pool while taking in the stunning views.The home was well-stocked with essentials like plenty of water and toilet paper. While there were a few small quirks (such as no soap or shampoo provided and a couple of older kitchen items), they didn’t affect our overall enjoyment. The master bedroom mattress, though a bit older, was so comfortable—we slept well every night! The master bathroom shower had great water pressure and plenty of hot water.We also enjoyed happy hour right next door at Trattoria de Piero—two-for-one cocktails and wonderful company from Winston, who was such a kind and welcoming host. Dining favorites were Argentinian Grill, Pura Vida (get the empanadas!), and Booty Bar in West End.We highly recommend Roatan Breakaway Tours, a family-run business with excellent service. Their son JJ gave us a fun sloth and monkey experience. My husband and brother went diving with Blue Island Divers and said it was fantastic. We also found a great local driver, Oscar (in a white kiosk on West Bay Beach), who was reliable and very reasonably priced.The host did not respond to my messages through VRBO like she had previously and we didn't realize there were instructions by the TV to use What'sApp. Overall, this was a GREAT place!
This condo is in a great spot within walking distance of main West Bay area, yet far enough away from the busy action to allow you to feel more secluded. Next door, is Las Rocas and their dive shop bar/restaurant with very welcoming staff, and a water taxi access point for going to West End.The property staff were very helpful and responsive for any questions that we had or things that came up during our stay. Connie and John responded quickly, and Tulio kept the outdoor grounds at the condo kept up. Connie lined up Sophia for our airport transfers, and John lined up a driver for us to go to the brewery. Thank you again to Connie, John, Sophia and Tulio!We really enjoyed the spacious back deck with the view of the western sky for lovely water views and beautiful sunsets. We sat out there often. Bring cat and dog treats if staying here!Some past reviews indicated some updating may be needed. Some of those updates have been made (new utensils, appliances, etc.), but I agree there are maybe some more things that could be updated in time. Also, I’d like to mention that while the master bathroom has really good size, the 2nd bathroom is a bit tight so for anyone who may need the extra space for a shower/bathroom area for part of your group, that should be considered. And, a mid-stay indoor cleaning and sheets swap may be something to add for future guest stays. We probably should have just asked for it…Still, a really good spot to consider for West Bay! Thanks again!
Property was as advertised. Clean and safe. The only own side was there was ongoing construction behind us, but it wasn't too bothersome. Sophie, our property manager was awesome and very accommodating.

Disappointing
This property was disappointing. It was clean and did have some new appliances but there were things that need attention in order to make this stay comfortable and pleasant. Firstly, the mattresses were the most uncomfortable I have ever slept on. They were so extremely hard that sleeping was interrupted and we woke up stiff and sore. Water leaks out of the showers onto the floor. Many of the towels in the unit were old and worn out. The patio door handle is broken and hard to open and close. The one window in the living room needs replacing as it is all fogged up and you can't see out of it. There were only 2 sun loungers available and they were both ripped and basically not usable therefore we had nothing to sit on while trying to go to the small beach in front of the condo. This to me was a real head scratcher as this is quite inexpensive yet an absolute necessity for a tropical vacation property. We had to try to put our towels down on the beach and were bitten by ants and sand fleas . The beach out front is very small and has a lot of sea grass in it so not ideal. The adjacent beach, west bay beach, was so overrun by cruise ship people, a person did not even want to be over there and would have had to pay 15.00 dollars per chair to sit with thousands of other people like sardines. Overall, the property and the whole island of Roatan was a severe disappointment. One day there were 12,000 cruise ship people in port and this is not unusual. Never again
Enjoyed our stay. Clean and appliances / furniture were like new. AC and fans worked great. We dived with Los Roccas next door. Nice having a bar and restaurant just next door. Nice beach and pool right in front. It is a short walk to the big beach at West Bay via the wooden boardwalk on shore. Any power or water issues were handled promptly, there is an onsite generator. Remember, power is not always 100% in a tropical paradise. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for being a great host.
Connie and John were outstanding. The condo is very spacious. Kitchen, dining, and living area very open and plenty of room. The bedrooms and baths had plenty of room and storage space. Lots of clean towels and paper goods. New refrigerator, washer and dryer. Connie responded quickly and professionally to any questions. Had a bag of ice for us on check in. But the most important and impressive thing, I got very ill and had to stay an extra day. Connie let me and my fiancé stay an extra night, AT NO CHARGE!! Very kind!!
