Best property on the Island

Westend is the best place to be in the island and the location of this house couldn’t be better. It’s off the beaten path so it’s very private. The A/C is a lifesaver as it is hard to find on the island. The beds are very comfortable and the loft is a perfect place for a teen who wants their own space. There is a club across the bay that plays loud music throughout the night Thurs-Sat. It was not a big deal for us because we couldn’t have had a better location view wise. We were lucky enough to meet the owners and learn more about the home and their love for Roatan. We will absolutely stay here again.

Great house, great location. Wonderful communication with property manager. Exceeds all expectations.

Overall a great place. My wife and I stayed here for 2 weeks. The apartment is nicely done, all amenities work fine. I really liked the wall-to-wall windows, which give you a fantastic view of the sea. We spent a lot of time just hanging around in the apartment as it was already in the perfect place for views. The access to snorkeling is a real bonus. Almost nobody else can access the reef here which is right in front of the unit. The snorkeling is unreal. The reef is healthy, with hard and soft coral. We also saw eagle rays, stingrays, lobster, eel, as well as lots of colorful fish. There are two issues worth mentioning: 1) The location of the unit is directly across the water from nightclubs which play loud music till 2 AM several nights a week. The noise travels directly across the water with no obstructions and is very loud. This made it hard to sleep. 2) The water pressure isn't very good.

My husband and I just stayed a week at this beautiful villa. Everything including dive shops, restaurants, bars, and great snorkeling are within a 5 minute walk. Saw rays from our deck one evening as well as an octopus and eel. I would recommend ear plugs just in case the bar across the way plays loud music which is usually on Fridays and Saturdays. Wasn’t an issue for us though. We had Roatán Chef Services cater one night and that was fabulous.

An amazing property close to all you need in the West End. Snorkling off your deck or a 1 min walk to Half Moon Bay. Check in was a breeze, driver and prop mgr met us promptly after a stop at the market. Washer/dryer was a plus. Will definitely book again

This is an amazing house. Just like the photos in the listing. I have stayed in many rental properties throughout the Carribean over the years and can honestly say that I've never had a view better than this. My fiance and I spent most of our days right on the property. The snorkeling right off of the front steps was incredible. We explored all of West End and West Bay and I really don't think that there is a better place than this house in either location. There should be A LOT more positive reviews here. The property management was responsive to any small issues that we had. I will say that the local nightlife (music) in some of the nearby beach bars was pretty loud late into the night (and early AM hours). We thought ahead and brought earplugs which we used a few times. Not a deal breaker for us. We'd gladly come back!

There are a lot of problems. • No hot water – tepid showers at best; in the kitchen I boiled the kettle. • Dishwasher – cuts out regularly • Outside fan – cuts out, only runs for a few minutes. • Oven – great but not insulated, it heats up the apartment. • Air conditioner (in the living area) – needs repair; it actually over cools. One night I had it set for 75F and it went down to 66F. The entire area was covered in condensation every surface soaked. When reported, instead of fixing the A/C unit, or replacing it, the owners just shut it off each night remotely, without notifying me. This a/c unit is the only way to cool the sleeping loft as well as the living area. FIX 6-days later: a remote control that connects directly to the unit and bypasses the owner’s app. When I checked-out, the rental agent took it away and turned the WiFi controls back on. Beware next renter. • Owners – were turning off my A/C remotely to help me. My reply, to help me, ‘FIX IT OR REPLACE IT!’ BLINDS MUST BE CLOSED 12:30pm to Sunset: The entire living area needs to be shutdown to keep out the roasting sun. THIS ELIMINATES THAT LOVELY VIEW for most of the day. NO PRIVACY BETWEEN APARTMENTS: With absolutely no insulation or sound dampening between the two areas, you hear every footfall, door slam, window closing, and vibration. Even the sound of one poor fellow with a sinus problem, blowing his nose. Yeah, you hear everything. I tip-toed around. LOCATION: NOISY, NOISY, NOISY (day and night). DAY: beginning around 7:30am and throughout the day, local tour boats, water taxis, dive boats, and endless jet skis scream right past the front of the house. NIGHT: A bar facing the bedroom blasts live music until 2:00am. The windows are single-pane so no buffer. AFTER HOURS EMERGENCY SUPPORT: • Your best bet is 911 but they only speak Spanish. • Bulldog Security, who monitors the house alarm system, just answers the phone from 6:00am-6:00pm. • A watchman, supposedly patrols the area at night, yet at 4:00am when my smoke alarm sounded, I went outside to get help. My door was open, the alarm was screeching, I was walking around with a flashlight and no guard was alerted or seen. • Roatan Vacation Rental: They give (5) contact numbers with no guarantee someone will answer. One time I left emails, phone messages and texts, not getting a reply until the following morning. Believe me when you’re in an emergency, you don’t want to be playing Russian roulette on the phone
