Rental office was very helpful and had immediate response to any inquiries.

Beautiful family house! Nice, spacious, comfortable and fully equipped house. Very nice views, location. Good maintenance.

Ryan checked us in and Ruth was waiting for us at the house. Never have I checked into a vacation rental where the manager was personally on site to welcome us. The property managers were quick to respond to everything we needed.

Wonderful Beach-Front West Bay Vacation My parents, my 11-year-old son, and I stayed at Casa Martin for a week in July 2015. This was our first trip to Roatan, and none of us wanted to leave. Our driver was waiting for us at the airport and took us by the grocery store so we could pick up supplies. We ended up getting more than we needed. There are a lot of vendors selling food on the beach, and it was fun to try those things (donuts, empanadas, etc) for breakfast and lunch. Additionally there were a few supplies waiting for us in the fridge, which was an unexpected surprise. Casa Martin is an amazingly beautiful home within just a few steps of the ocean. It was clean and well-appointed. Yes, there was the occasional cockroach and tiny ants here and there, but this is a third world country! I felt spoiled to have hot water and air conditioning. :) The power went out a couple times (these were planned outages....I recommend checking the Roatan Electric Company website or facebook page to see when the planned outages are so that you aren't surprised) for 2-3 hours but other than delaying our morning cup of coffee, it wasn't a big deal. I slept in the queen bed that wasn't the master....the mattress was very comfortable and I usually hate sleeping in any bed than my own. I didn't miss my own bed at all! The sheets where high quality as well. All towels, even beach towels, were provided. But, we didn't need much because the house is so well-stocked. This location is absolutely perfect on West Bay. I would definitely stay here again....next time might try a different property just to try something new, but you can't beat the beachfront view at Casa Martin.

Ruth and Ryan at island rentals were more than accommodating, even put us up for the day when we had a late flight.

Peaceful beach with an attitude Nothing more stressless than setting on your front porch or swinging in the hammock reading your favorite book and watching the world go by. Hearing the " Banana doughnut" man singing his song and selling his goods, buying a fresh hot empanada in the morning for breakfast or going fishing with Captain Brooks ( and yes, the big one got away after peeling off about 500 yards of line) This is a great location for folks who want to get away and be right there! As always,

Ruth and Brad do a great job managing this property. They're very communicative throughout the entire rental process and check-in is a breeze. Their office is close by and there's always someone available if you need something during your stay.

Another Great Stay at Ocho Palmas This is the second time we've rented Ocho Palmas and it was just as awesome and relaxing this time as it was the first. I can't think of much to say that hasn't been said already. The previous reviews, including mine, speak for themselves and the pictures of this house really don't do it justice. You have to see it to believe it. I heard from several people that it's one of the nicest homes on the island. You will not be disappointed.

Everyone who worked at the property management was amazing and helped with anything we needed. Thank you guys for a wonderful time. You made it so easy and comfortable!

Everyone stops and stares! I'm telling you the truth. Everyone who walks down the beach stops and looks at this house! They are thinking, "Why didn't we know about this place?" All I can say is I'm glad I found it on tripadvisor! From the moment we arrived at the airport they had someone to help us with our bags, the driver Marty was amazing and stopped at the grocery store on the way for us. What can I say about the house? All you have to do is look at the pictures. The view is amazing! We had a 2 year old, a 3 year old and a 5 year old, the porch out front is open railing. It makes for a better view, but I was a little nervous with the kids. They did fine, though. If we ever go back which I hope we do, I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else. This house is a quiet, beautiful sanctuary on West Bay. So different from all the other condos and beach cabins. This is a true beach house. Nothing to compare to it really.

Ryan mi concierge es muy atento y simptico me ayudo mucho, yo tuve una gran experiencia con todos ellos y los recuerdo con mucho cario, definitivamente espero volver pronto. Gracias por todas sus atenciones.

Una de las mejores vacaiones de mi vida. Hola, yo estuve hospedada en Monkey Lala Upper, es una casa adorable, cmoda y muy linda, tiene todas las comodidades para sentirte en casa, la ubicacin es excelente a unos pasos de la playa, toda la gente es muy amable y atenta, Dolores la camarista es muy amable.

The people that are in charge of this house are very attentive, helpful, and were very good at recommending things and places as this was our first time to Roatan.

Beautiful beach house, excellent location We LOVED the Tortuga House, it was everything and more than what we expected. We stayed here with another couple, and both had beautiful rooms and ensuites. The location is fantastic, and the village of homes is very quaint and beautiful. The beautiful beach is right there!There is security and it is gated. Would we return - absolutely! I would recommend this house to anybody, it was a fantastic holiday, and we would return right here the next time we come to Roatan.

I LOVED our stay! Gecko Loco is a beautiful home and I truly believe it has the best view on the island! We were in walking distance from west bay (#1 beach on roatan) but we still rented vehicles in order to get around the island. We found short cuts to get to the beach by the way instead of staying on the main road. Either way it was an incredible experiance. The home was more than what we expected, and it had everything you could imagine as if you were in your own home when it comes to supplies. From arrival we felt welcomed.

The service we received was over the top. Again as being a veteran of home rentals the management staff was so helpful to all our needs. Minor and I mean very minor issues were dealt with ASAP.

Number 1 on My List This place was a fantastic place. It was more like someone's home not a rental. Of all the home rentals that I have stayed at this one rate's number 1 for me. I could go on but it's best you visit it yourself. It has everything a vacationer would want and more. Hold on, that is not even the best part. If your going to Roatan this is the place to stay.

St Mac's upper Another great stay at St Mac's upper. I highly recommend for a larger group since it has 3 bedrooms. The front deck is fantastic and the kitchen is very nice. Bedrooms large. Overall I think it's one of the best on West Bay.

Ruth took wonderful care of us during our stay and directed us to some lovely beaches and great local restaurants!

Wonderful Vacation Home in Paradise We stayed at the Pelican House for 2 weeks in April and were thrilled with our stay. The house is beautiful. The views are breathtaking! We hope to return to Roatan and will be staying at the Pelican House again!

Amazing home, beautifully furnished, great set up, stunning views and a porch you won't want to leave. This was our 5th trip to Roatan, we have stayed in Sandy Bay, West End and West Bay. This is the first time we stayed at Casa Martin and we loved everything about it. The home is beautifully furnished and has a great layout 3 bedrooms 3 full baths. It is very spacious and the main living area is open concept. The outdoor shower is great for rinsing off after a swim or snorkeling. The kitchen is spacious enough for several people to cook a meal. The only thing lacking is no dishwasher. If you have a big crowd, having one certainly would allow you more time to play. The outside patio is awesome . It has amazing views and just enough privacy to make it perfect. We will definitely be back to rent this home again.

Perfect location on West Bay We Loved the Monkey La La house. A very unique location as it's tucked away down a beautiful path surrounded by palms and a variety of flowering shrubs. Felt like we were in our own little neighborhood. We arrived the end of April so it was extremely quiet even though two large hotels are nearby. Just steps away from the most beautiful beach. Loved having our own house vs a hotel, we were able to cook some of our meals but mostly we had a very private balcony that we enjoyed. We love west bay, the snorkeling is amazing, walking distance to restaurants and just a short water taxi ride to west end. The local people are so gracious and sweet. Love coming to Roatan. Monkey La La was just what we were looking for. Thanks

The rental company was helpful, organized and I would absolutely use them again.

Charming bungalow a breath away from West Bay Beach They say it's location location location. During my most recent winter getaway to Roatan (my 5th in 2 years), my favorite tropical paradise, I tried out a West Bay vacation rental instead of my usual resort destination. No regrets, coyote. The space was quite suitable for my purposes and while initially a little overwhelmed by how small a space it was to share with someone else, it grew on me over the week I was there. Nice quiet neighbors, a 10 second walk to the beach and nestled right in the heart of West Bay, a great place to vacation.

The deck the home and everything about Lower Barefoot is impressive Brad Ruth Sam and Ryan all do a fabulous job to make your stay the best it can be We highly recommend this home !!

service was great.

Amazing Experience Being from Miami, I am used to being in a beach environment, but this was truly a fantastic experience. One of the most comfortable beach vacation homes I have ever stayed in. Location was second to none, view was spectacular. House was very spacious, great kitchen, large balcony, private bedrooms. Anyone going to Roatan needs to stay here!

Absolutely perfect Sunset House was the very best vacation house ever. Start your day with coffee on the dock and end the day with drinks watching the sunset - perfect. There was so much to do that the TV and the ipads never were used. Our granddaughters age 9 and 10 spend hours snorkeling up and down the beach and then swinging in the hammock or building sand castles. Blackie's dinner of coconut shrimp and chicken was delicious and of course key lime pie....Yum. We used the dive shop just a few yards up the beach towards West End and they did a great job with a refresher course for us. The girls loved the Dolphin Action Swim at Anthony's Key and did rate that #1 - the zip line came in second. Yoni the resident caretaker is a hugh asset if you have any questions.

Island House had a driver at the airport to pick us up and take us to the grocery store and then to the house. Being new to the island, that was a big help. Check in was quick and easy and then it was on to enjoying our vacation at Casa Martin.

Awesome Vacation Enjoyed every minute of Roatan. The house was spacious and clean. We had 3 couples and it was nice that each of us had our own full bathroom. West Bay Beach is nice because if you are the touristy type you can do all of the beach activities that you would normally find at the beach. Parasailing, fishing, canopy tours... We are from the beach so we weren't interested in most of those things. We came to relax and chill. And this place didn't disappoint. Cruise ships were in on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. That made the beach a little more lively. But I enjoyed that aspect of it. Those folks didn't get to the area until 9:00 or so and they were typically gone by 3:00. That left us to enjoy the beautiful sunsets without the crowds. It was never crowded in front of West Bay Village. People would walk by on their way to snorkle but we basically had the beach in front to ourselves. Lunches out were a little difficult when the ships were in just because most of the places were fairly full. We typically ate lunch at the house and then ate dinners out. There is a charcoal grill at the house but we found charcoal itself was difficult to find. There are a fair amount of vendors that walk the beach selling their stuff. Didn't see too many things worth buying. The banana doughnut man was good. Just wish he would come by in the morning instead of the afternoon. There are also people selling empenadas that were really good. great for a quick and easy lunch. The vendors all seemed polite. A quick "no thank you" typically did the trick. Some would hang around longer than others. Gusto is the properties security guard. He would keep them moving along. Can't say enough good things about him. Super nice guy. I wish I could speak Spanish so I could have properly told him how much we enjoyed him being around. We tried to keep a cold Coke in his hand. Great guy. The only issue any of us had was a bout of stomach issues. I attribute that to being in a new environment that our bodies weren't accustomed to. Nothing serious, just an inconvenience. I've left a lot out and I know I've rambled and jumped from topic to topic but this really was one of the coolest places I've traveled. We really enjoyed every bit of it. If I can answer any questions for any "would be" Casa Martin or West Bay Village travelers, I'm happy to do so...

Beautiful decor, clean and updated with great view from patio and dipping pool. Lovely ocean view and within minutes by car) to West Bay Beach and West End. House is beautifully decorated and well stocked with anything you might want our need. Only one bedroom has a water view and one bedroom has no windows at all and was rather hot. The pool was smaller than we expected but was well used. (They had someone working on the jets but never got them working while we were there (Wed to Sat)...therefore it didn't really look like an infinity pool. Warning: the steps and decking around the pool are VERY slippery when wet. We had 3 falls (and no one was running!). My husband has a bruise the size of a cantaloupe on his bum! Brad said they had just painted. The semi private beach was nice and not far but was very rocky and definitely not a swimming beach.

A great week at Sunset house The location was great. We were right between West Bay and West End. Easy to walk or take the $3 water taxi. We rented the whole house. Everything was as described as by previous reviews. There is snorkeling about 1/4 mile out from the pier. The outside bar was equipped nicely, with an immaculate stainless steel grill. The only downside was a really musty smell in the lower 2 bedrooms. I brought this up to the management company and they said they would take care of it. The upstairs did not have this problem.

Exceeded our Expectations We were impressed by the quality of furnishings and construction. The house was very well equipped, including peices for cooking. The only disadvantage would be the steep hill to get to town, but as far as the rental property itself, it was 5 star. There is a very nice beach just 3 minutes walk away.

Watching the world go by! St. Mac's Upper Beach house is the perfect place to kick back, enjoy the beach, people watch and snorkel just a 2 minute walk away. The house is spacious and the upper deck with the 2 hammocks make you feel you never leave the beach. There is enough space to enjoy both family and friends while letting you have personal quiet time. Well stocked kitchen, spacious bedrooms each with a private deck if you need alone time. Literally 100 steps to the beach to beach chairs or to your nice shaded yard with chairs to watch the world go by. Many people return year after year to West Bay so are friendly and gather on the dock each night to toast another day and the setting of the sun. There is a group that walk every morning to do hill walks as well as beach walks. Has a community feel to the place indeed . There is a security guard 24 hours a day to assist you if needed. The Honduran people are very respectful of your private space so will not come on the property without an invitation to sell you anything. All the beach services are literally in front of you so you can take part or just find a chair and relax. A five minute walk back of the property is a lovely Java House and LALa's for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Within 2 minutes on the beach side you will find places to catch a drink or a snack. The snorkelling is fantastic and St. Mac's is right there! No need for longgg walks or water taxis to get to the snorkelling. We did mention to the rental agency about possibly upgrading the dishwasher and fridge but they are aware of these concerns. It was wonderful of the rental agency to ask us questions about likes and dislikes. St. Mac's is a gem for a great getaway!

Barefoot Dreams beach level is steps from the beach in a little enclave of rental homes on West Bay Beach. You will spend most of your time on the cozy porch, surrounded by Palms and other plants. The kitchen is well equipped, nice bathrooms (one ensuite), and a living, dining area. There is no better location in Roatan than West Bay Village and Barefoot Dreams is one of the 2 or 3 best properties in the village.

Beautiful Place, Romantic Vacaion My wife and I spent 2 wonderful weeks in the Beachfront apartment. Breakfast was usually on the patio with the soothing sounds of the waves in the backround. Lunch was either local fare or something we prepared, but the Burgers at The Blue Parrot in Sandy bay were the best! Sunsets were spent on the dock with new friends, and the best views you have ever seen. The Steaks at the Argentine Grille were well worth the 5 minute walk down the beach. The. nightly entertainment on the beach (including Firedancers!) was always fun. Watching the dive boats get ready first thing in the morning and early morning and late night walks on the beach were always rewarding. Guieremo the security guard was awesome! We also highly recommend the Cayos Cochinos trip,snorkeling with the dolphins at Anthony's Key, and you must pick up some awesome Roatan Rum from the Roatan Rum Factory just a few miles down the road. The Mango Rum is incredible! We keep coming back to this unit for good reason. Steps from the beach, but just far enough away for privacy.

THE BEST BEACH VACATION TO DATE this was our first trip ever to rotan and we found our own piece of treasure. it took many months of research to find the ideal place and spot to stay. i have to tell you all the research paid off, for Tortuga Beach House was the x...on the treasure map. I had the pleasure of dealing with michael, who address all my concers and also provided me with a wealth of information. he set it up where a guy picked us at the airport, that guy also came into our apartment one night and cooked a great meal.. Anyway, the apartment is in a little village with beautiful palm trees. Tortuga Beach is on the second level with a priceless view of the beach. my family and i have traveled to many far off destinations, but the combination of roatan and the tortuga beach house is perfect. the condo itself is very spacious and new. the kitchen is a true gourmet and great for entertaining. after wondering around the village, although all the units were nice tortuga beach was just a notch above the rest. I look foward in going back especially when the new roof-top deck was added. thanks for great vacation
