The communication process at first was leary... We had problems with emailing through the VRBO site so we finally figured out how to email through their company website. The vacation, it was awesome!!! Finding the place in the dark was a little tough. GPS didn't send us where we needed to go but kinda close. The locals were super sweet and helped us find where we were going. Finding things in the house was super simple and we figured out enough stuff to make to the morning. The owner was there right in the morning to welcome us and answer any questions we had. He was super hands on all week and responded rather quickly every time we had an issue. Everything was within walking is distance but I was glad that we had rented a car so we could see the whole island. We never got lost and enjoyed seeing the natural habitat of the island and all who lived there. We felt completely safe. This is important since we have a 6 and 9 year old. The pool was a wee bit chilly but honestly, the evenings and mid afternoon sometimes required a cold dip in the water. It was extremely refreshing. We will make sure to return to the island for a future vacation. Thank you for the fantastic stay!!

Highly recommend this property. Caroline and Nick are great to rent from and handled everything well.

Caroline and Nick were amazing to rent from. Very helpful and had great suggestions for everything we wanted to do! The location was perfect, gorgeous property and walking distance to everything in the West End. This trip was so incredible, we loved everything about Roatan.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mangrove Dock. The location is an easy walk into West End with all the great restaurants and dive shops. Onsite security was very visible so safety was never an issue. Nick was great with advice and any issues that arose. If you are up for an adventure, night snorkeling from the dock out to the reef is an unbelievable experience with a high probability of seeing octopi and the surreal String of Pearls. We definitely plan on coming back!

We had a wonderful time here. It was super close to town. We will definitely stay here again in the future.

The location, size and property amenities were a perfect fit for our multigenerational family of five.

Loved our stay in Roatan, this location is beautiful, safe, and a short walk to everything. Owners were helpful and quick to respond. I would stay here again. Only problems for us were the ceiling fans didn't work well which was a bigger deal because of the extra power charge we tried to use the AC less. Don't like the extra power charge idea, we were careful and only used AC at night and still were charged extra. But we did hear that power is super expensive on Roatan so they may not have many options.

Easy ,clean , well-maintained , host was always available .We had a great stay. Location was perfect.

Stayed at Mangrove Dock Condo 6/9-22/19 on 1st floor of the Pelican building. Prior to arriving Caroline emailed information that was extremely helpful. She arranged a taxi to pick us up. Noel stopped at Eldon's so we could get $160 in groceries (reasonable island prices). Caroline pre-stocked frig w/ soda & Roatan beer, cheaper than grocery store.Unit is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths (master bath small but okay). The bed & baths on one side with kitchen, dining & living room on other. We opened front & patio doors and constant breeze very nice even with the temps of +85. We turned on air conditioning at night from 8pm-7am, cost $160. No one at the condos for the first 5 days. The rest of the trip, there was rarely anyone at the pool. Walk from the condo to Half Moon Bay & West End averaged 4000 steps per trip.
