About this apartment rental
West Bay Beach is the most beautiful beach on Roatan Island and arguably the Caribbean. Stay directly on this gorgeous beach and enjoy all the restaurants and amenities of West Bay in an ideal location and you will be thrilled you found it. Villa Joya is paradise and has everything you want or need! The bedrooms include a king size bed and private bath in one room and twin beds and another full bath in the other...huge kitchen, dining, living room and gorgeous waterfront deck and POOL - you will truly be on vacation. Relax on the hammock or deck and enjoy the sights and sounds of the beach. Everything you need including a personal chef is just a phone call away too.
If you are looking for a vacation spot where shoes are optional and the attitude is friendly and relaxed, this is the place for you. The restaurants are fabulous, affordable and all within a one to five minute walk. The water taxi next door can further expand your choices if you feel the need, but truly everything is within barefoot walking distance from Villa Joya.

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 .

We really enjoyed this place! The condo is very nice, spacious, well furnished/decorated, well-appointed full kitchen, and the AC is cold. Connie was very responsive to all our requests. Perfect location, private, and right on the beach. As an added bonus, it’s right beside Las Rocas which has a bar, restaurant and excellent dive shop. Shout out to dive masters Geraldine and Abner!
My wife loved the washer and dryer!
Just a few suggestions that would make the condo even better:
1. Put real ice trays in freezer. The plastic ice maker box there now is worthless! (Note: This was a total non-issue during our stay because Connie provided a 10-lb bag of ice upon arrival and another upon request when we used up first bag.)
2. The shower door in small bathroom leaks water all over bathroom floor. Should be replaced.
3. Master bedroom shower drains very very slowly, such that water builds at your feet like a bath and leaves soap residue all over shower floor after it finally drains. Also, master shower needs a shower door or curtain as water splashes all over bathroom floor when showering. As a result of this issue, after my first shower in master bath, I took rest of my showers under outdoor shower (a big bonus that condo has this!). Neighbors probably thought I was crazy getting soaped up outdoors, but I didn’t care!
4. Put washcloths in condo. We asked for some and they were provided immediately! Condo has plenty of other towels.
5. Replace the 2 worn out outdoor lounge chairs.

Fantastic location. Place was great. Great having basically a semi private beach with Weat Bay a stones throw away. Los Roccas next door was a great dive shop and the bar as well was an added bonus.
John was quick to communicate.
Stock up on your grocery trip on the essentials if you don’t plan to make too many moves.
Figure out what days are cruise ship or not as the West Bay beach will be much emptier. Great for swimming.

She was good about responding and the unit was comfortable and clean.

This was our first time staying at the Las Rocas end of West Bay and we loved it. The sandy beach right in front of the condo is peaceful, but the bigger West Bay beach/restaurants/etc are just a few steps away. John (who is the on-site manager) responded immediately to the few requests we made (extra bottled water, taxi pick-up), and the check-in/out process was a breeze. We've already re-booked for next year.
4.0
Clean and ready to go on arrival, the transportation option to and from the airport and grocery store was an excellent addition that is offered.
Location is top notch just minutes away from the action but secluded enough to really wind down.
All in all I would say it was excellent with one major caveat- The pool was still broke for the duration of our stay when we were reassured beforehand that it would be operational. We were extremely disappointed about this as it was one of the major things we were looking for in our rental property.
5.0
Everything was as projected. No complaints. Great location. Short walk to the bars and restaurants but far enough to be quiet at night

Clean, spacious and great location. Loved having Las Rocas dining and water taxi just 50 steps away. Like having our own private beach. Only downside was pool under repair.

Our family of four stayed here over Christmas break. We loved the location near the amenities of West Bay beach but separated for some peace and quiet. Inside was clean and the deck a great spot to eat and enjoy the view.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful stay, the location and condo were fantastic. However, there were some plumbing problems that put a damper on our vacation. On the 2nd day the kitchen sink pipe started leaking all over the kitchen. If we were not there the kitchen would have flooded. We put buckets under the sink and kept dumping the buckets so the floor wouldn't flood. I called John H.and he came as soon as he could. He replaced the faucet and fixed the the problem. The master shower also had a plumbing issue. It did not drain and filled up and overflowed everytime we took a shower, making it an unpleasant experience. And lastly on the 7th day, the hall shower clogged and when we unclogged it the back water went into the master bathroom sink, which was gross. My expectation in renting a nice place includes plumbing that works and doesn't require me to be inconvenienced.

I thought the property was perfectly located - far from the crowds of West Bay but close enough to walk there. The rental had everything that we needed and anything missing we were able to purchase before arriving.

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.

Property was in a great location. Local property management team made our stay super easy everything we needed was at the top of our fingers with a text. I would recommend this property to anyone. Thanks for making this vacation one of the best my fat and I have ever taken. 5 stars all the was around.

My youngest daughter graduated college and what a great way to celebrate her accomplishment. We snorkeled every day out the back door, my daughter and her friend became scuba certified with Bananarama ,exquisite sunsets, and, of course, fresh baked banana bread every morning delivered to our door. We would absolutely book this again.

The building is now 20-25 years old and is starting to show "wear and tear". While it used to be somewhat secluded, it is now surrounded by constant new construction projects, with a great deal of traffic and noise. The rental is still in a great location and well managed, as well as clean. John John and Tulio work hard to keep it that way,

The property was very clean and it is a great location to get to everywhere we wanted to go. The sun sets are very beautiful.

The exclusiveness of this location is incredible. You can walk to all the action and busy beach but it literally does have a quiet, 2 home beach right out front with a small pool and fairly decent snorkeling access right out front. You can watch all the action of the boat canal for the water taxis wiz by, but they don't disrupt your coffee morning. The local staff help was absolutely fabulous and helped us to two events, to the airport as well and were available by phone at anytime for questions. I was really impressed and would MOST DEFINITELY recommend this rental and location! Enjoy!

There’s not much to say that the other reviews didn’t mention. The palace is great! The location is exactly what we wanted- almost private beach steps away from the hustle and bustle of west bay. The space was clean and Tullio kept up with our water demand (4 five gallon jugs) They even left a cellphone to call the driver or maintenance. I didn’t try to call anyone else with it but I assume it would’ve worked. We’ll be back for sure.

My family and I had such a wonderful experience staying here. It was the perfect location, close to everything yet secluded and private. Hosts were amazingly accommodating. Roatan and this location was everything we had hoped for and we will definitely be back!!

I gave 5 stars because any small housekeeping or on-site management communication issues we had, I feel confident that the owner is going to follow through with! She was easy to talk with through email and very responsive. The location was amazing, so quiet and an easy access to so many things! We will come back!

Picture Perfect Place, location is just amazing. Walking distance to every beach and restaurants.

This makes my wife and I second stay with Stacy. We have stayed in vacation rental homes all over the globe and no owner has been remotely close to Stacy and her team. She is the most gracious host we have ever encountered. Trust me! If you encounter any problems (Big or Small) during your stay, they will be immediately remedied.
And the location...you cannot stay in a better location anywhere on the island! You get the best of both worlds...unbelievable privacy while only being literally steps away from all the action.
I can go on and on, but if you are looking for a place to rent on Roatan...look no further. This is the BEST!

Like all of the other reviews we had a great time. The condo is in the perfect location and within walking distance of most everything. The condo was wonderful with purified water and everything else you need. We tried the restaurants recommended by Stacy and really liked Las Rocas, Luna at the Ibagaria Hotel and Lotus. Everyone was so friendly. John was great and the empanadas sold by Luis were wonderful. We were able to get our Covid test scheduled by the Las Rocas receptionist. They have a person from the local clinic come to Las Rocas at 7 AM and got our results at 6 PM. Very convenient. We walked down to the Grand Roatan and snorkeled right off the beach and saw beautiful fish. There were macaws in the trees right by our condo. We chilled in the water watching the macaws. The condo was in the perfect location close to everything but away from the noisy part of West Bay. We hope to stay here again. We watched the beautiful sunset every night on the patio. Sad to be leaving.

My husband and teenage daughter stayed at this beautiful property. We are scuba divers and the location is absolutely perfect! The dive shop is next door along with a restaurant. We felt as though we had a private beach even though it was a very busy week for locals (Spring Break). If we wanted more variety a short walk down the beach allowed us to enjoy multiple restaurants and bars. The pool isn't large, but was clean and refreshing for a quick dip. One thing I would change if I could would be the boat traffic in front of the condo. There was quite a bit of traffic and we felt it wasn't safe to swim to the reef for snorkeling, but there were other spots farther down the beach that worked fine for that purpose.

As numerous people have previously stated, this home is perfectly situated in the ideal location! You have the most incredible view, a small private beach, yet easy walking distance to so much in West Bay. Stacy is a tremendous host: great communication, recommendations, and she set up transportation for us from the airport with Steven (a tremendous driver, resource, and tour guide for your stay!). The home has everything you need and is spacious. Right next door, Los Rocas offers good food, drinks, and easy access to a water taxi to easily get to other nearby parts of the island. This home is a must-stay for your trip to Roatan! Don't miss out on the banana bread and empanadas that Matthew and Luis sell on the beach!

Great week at this property. You feel secluded and private but have a restaurant next door and lots of restaurants/activities/etc a five minute walk away. Plenty of towels and snorkel gear. Highly recommend.

Great place to stay. Comfortable home, well taken care of, with a perfect location. Quiet beach with a small pier where you can get a water taxi. <5 minute walk along the beach to nearby busy West Bay. Owner and staff are very plesseant and easy to communicate with.

We just returned from our trip to Roatan last night and are already thinking about a return trip! As mentioned by other reviewers, the location of this property can't be beat. As it is around the corner from the main West Bay Beach, it has a quiet, almost private beach feeling to it, but less than a 5 minute walk, you are in the hustle and bustle of the main beach.
We spent our days soaking up the sun in front of the condo or snorkeling on the reef just a short swim across the boat lane. We ate at many restaurants, but found that Las Rocas (right next door) had great food at reasonable prices (Elio was our waiter daily and took great care of us).
Our trip started off rocky - our flight was cancelled out of Houston due to weather, then the next day when we were able to get a flight, someone inadvertently took our bag from the Roatan airport and then got on a ferry to Utilia. Stacy was in contact with us via text throughout the whole ordeal, and the driver she arranged (Kristie) waited patiently at the airport while we sorted out what happened to our luggage. Kristie then gave the airport her person cell number and then when our bag was found the next day, drove to the airport, picked it up, and delivered it to the property - she was truly fantastic!
All and all, we loved the property, the location, and communication with the owner! Thanks so much Stacy, we hopefully will be back soon!

The condo was perfect. Very clean and spacious. It is located in a perfect spot. Steps from the water with amazing snorkeling. It is very private and quiet. But when you walk a bit, maybe 200 yards your in the midst of restaurants, boat charters and shopping.
