Sunrise Harbor is appropriately named as the sunrise over the island hillsides and tropical harbor is truly breathtaking. The topography is stunning and the heavenly tropical breezes are so refreshing. All this visual and sensational paradise is available to you from your large private balcony overlooking the pristine bay and beautiful Caribbean Sea.

The property features 3 bedrooms total, of which two bedrooms are considered identical master suites with king size beds, 2 modern and stone cut bathrooms. Conveniences also include unlimited use of Wi-Fi internet (most other rentals require a re-purchase (re-load) card after the first few days of use). Also as an added convenience is a courtesy local phone. A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also within the unit so no need to send out or trips to a laundry mat for extended stays. Life is a breeze at our retreat as the almost constant trade winds off the mountains and over the harbor blend perfectly together to provide a remarkable natural breezeway throughout the entire condo. The passageway from the terrace routes directly through the entire unit coupled with advanced windows and louvered doors to keep the fresh island breezes flowing at between 12-18 miles an hour on average. Most guests comment this is one of the best features of the property.

An ultra high efficiency, (22 seer) will keep you cool and comfortable always. The air conditioning system coupled with the modern double pain windows and sliding glass doors can bring down the temperature 8-10 degrees in under an hour. No other property can offer such comfort and efficiency. This retreat is ideally located within easy walking distance of all activities, restaurants, bars and beautiful beaches. Half-moon bay is just a quarter-mile away or a timed 6 minute short and very safe walk. Swim, snorkel or just stool along the pearl white sandy beach of world renowned Half Moon Bay in West End for a day of total delight. Shop in a vast variety of local quant stores dotting the main street of rustic West End. The local food offered in restaurants and street vendors is remarkable and we have heard over and over again by guests, "the best in the world". Visit our concierge page on our website to get the details and locations of our favorite locations. Deep-sea fishing is outstanding in just 3 minutes from the harbor entrance are depp's between 700 and 1000 feet. visit our fishing charter service at www.wahooslayer.com or see our excellent reviews on TripAdvisor. A world famous dive shop (Seagrape Plantation Dive Shop) is only 200 feet from the condo and offers reef diving just five minutes from the harbor for only $35 per dive. There is a nice breakfast/lunch restaurant across the street. Your comfort and peace of mind is paramount in our commitment to you. We have installed the very best water filtration system throughout the entire condo to ensure pure drinking water even in the bathrooms and showers so there is no need to be concerned about brushing your teeth, ice from the freezer or cooking a meal with our water from the kitchen sink. We also have available a "Zero Water" pitcher in the refrigerator as an added convenience as an additional source of absolutely pure drinking water. We have also installed a new 55 inch smart TV with a blue Ray DVD player and sound bar for the best possible quality entertainment.

Lovely property just off the hustle and bustle of West End. It is a quiet, beautiful complex with lovely landscaping, a clean pool, friendly security guards, and a dock where you can be picked up for excursions. The condo/vrbo has all the extras (spices, mineral sunscreen) left by former occupants without any clutter. There are little issues of Island life that are addressed by Donna. We all slept well and enjoyed the spaces both indoor and outdoor. Rick was very attentive to our needs.
We stayed for the month of January. The location is excellent, kitchen is very well stocked….everything you need. Donna was there when we arrived earlier than expected to check us in and was immediately responsive to our needs. Louis the security guard was also very helpful. We will definitely return.
Great location. Close to town and beach. Wonderful view of bay. Lovely to sit on dock. Beautiful balcony very large. Very large condo. Big rooms. Fully equipped kitchen. Nice to have washer dryer. Beds could be updated, linens were good. Pillows need replacing. Functionally worked great
The condo was spacious, clean and comfortable.The location in West End was great for a week of diving. The kitchen was well equipped. Communication with the owners was efficient and we found them to be proactive regarding transfers from the airport. Donna the manager was very responsive. We would definitely stay here again!
The property is well maintained extremely clean and the kitchen is stocked with everything one would need like pots, pans, air fyer, silverware glassware etc. The view is beautiful from the Balcony. The place is walking distance to the main area and beach.The pool area is well maintained and the view is awesome.
The accommodations were a perfect complement to the tranquility of the bay it overlooked. All rooms were clean and as appeared in the pictures. Ample utensils were available for our use.As an extra treat, we got a close-up experience with the resident bats in the early morning hours. After the first morning's surprise, we looked forward to having them remind us of the surrounding nature.Communications from the hosts were excellent throughout our stay. And Donna's hospitality and flexibility made our travels much easier. Thank you all for making our first visit so memorable!
Beautiful and well stocked condo that served our family perfectly over a week. Fantastic location - quiet area but easy walk to town. Very responsive hosts who were very helpful and accommodating after we had experienced major travel delays. We highly recommend this condo if you are considering a trip to Roatan.
The property was beautiful and had everything we needed.Whole house water filtration was so helpful and made us feel at home.The property manager was super responsive when we had questions or concerns.I would love to stay in this property again.
Location was awesome, walkable to bars/restaurants in the west end. Very spacious. Donna, the property manager was very responsive as well. Would highly recommend this property!
The property was better than showed online. Everything imaginable in the kitchen. Bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful, plenty of space for clothing. We walked to West End at least once a day. We would definitely stay here again. Donna was great setting up our pickup at airport and departure to airport.
We had an amazing time at this condo. Location is perfect quiet and so much to do close by. The drinkable water throughout the condo was a great. The amenities were endless. They even have an air fryer!! We hope to visit again next year!!
The condo was very nice. Kitchen was well equipped. Central air was great. Location was perfect for us as it was quiet but walking distance to West End. We would certainly recommend.
Overall great stay. Perfect location in one of the best parts of the island, indisputably. Not too loud, but not far from the bars and restaurants of West End either. Had to sweep up when I arrived so I could walk around barefoot. Other than small cleanliness issues everything was great.
We loved the location and set up of this condo for our family! Donna was also an excellent resource and cooked delicious food for us. Rick was great at checking in and answering our questions along the way. We could definitely come back!!
We really enjoyed the Condo. Rick was very helpful with answering questions and making arrangements before our arrival. The condo is conveniently located and we had so many options for food and shops. It was very clean. I would say the best thing about our stay was Donna the property Manager, she was absolutely Amazing she made us feel right at home! We can’t express with how sweet and accommodating she was, she felt like family!

Their interests together include extensive travel, cruising, boating, fishing and community service work. All four of the owners are deeply involved in ministry work to benefit the islands children’s ministry and have cofounded “Roatan Fisher of Men Children's Ministry”.
Why they chose this property
With an absolute passion and compassion for the people and the island of Roatan, the owners decided to purchase a property that could be used as both a vacation retreat rental property and a ministry resource. After an extensive search all over the island this property offered the greatest benefits in location, construction and potential. The location is ideal in that it is so convenient to dive shops, restaurants, fishing and to the unique charm of West End. The relatively new solid construction and appearance of the property with its lush landscaping blended in a tropical ambience also brought us to the conclusion of purchasing this property above all others. Knowing also the past excellent rental history because of the units' desirability was very encouraging. We felt that the investment in this particular property would yield the greatest benefits in ownership.
What makes this property unique
The uniqueness of this property stands far above others when you consider the location, the efficiency and the magnificence of this luxury retreat. The spaciousness of this 1800 square-foot unit coupled with the breathtaking scenic views and the abundance of tropical breezes truly sets this property apart from all others. Your comfort and peace of mind is paramount in our commitment to you. We have installed the very best water filtration system throughout the entire condo to ensure pure drinking water even in the bathrooms and showers so there is no need to be concerned about brushing your teeth, ice from the freezer or cooking a meal with our water from the kitchen sink. We also have available a "Zero Water" pitcher in the refrigerator as an added convenience as an additional source of absolutely pure drinking water. While the tropical breezes flows throughout the unit, if you feel the need to turn on the air-conditioner you'll be delighted to know we just installed the most efficient and effective Central air conditioning system available. The unit with its double pane windows coupled with the solid construction cools rapidly in all rooms if needed. We have also installed a new 55 inch smart TV with a blue Ray DVD player and sound bar for the best possible quality entertainment. We have over 180 + Quality DVD and Blu-ray selections for the entire family. Adding to your entertainment experience is unlimited Internet/Wi-Fi. No need to run down to the store and add minutes to a chip card like many other units require. Other units also have hidden costs such as paying for your own electricity. Electricity is extremely expensive on the island and can cost up to $.40 a kilowatt hour. You will never receive an electric bill from us. From the location to the comforts, this retreat should not ever be considered just another rental property, it must be considered your oasis on a tropical island with all the comforts and conveniences of your home away from home.
