About this property

Añoranza, 2 bedroom | 3 bath- Punta Blanca, Roatan

Añoranza's 2 bedroom oceanfront Villa option, offers guests 2 bedrooms with 2 king beds and en suite bathrooms. Plus, a 3rd full bath off the open concept living room and kitchen area. When guests book the 2 bedroom option, the Lower Level Suite, 3rd bedroom, is not available but we do not rent that suite to other guests during your stay. If you need more room than 2 bedrooms guests can rent our 3 bedroom villa option, Casita 1, Casita 2, and/or Casita 3 for a total of 6 rooms.

If you’re looking for a true Caribbean island experience, Añoranza is the place for you. If you are looking for a place like Cabo or Tulum, we’re not the destination for you. Leave your designer bags, shoes, jewelry, and clothes at home. All you need to pack are swimsuits, cover-ups, rash guards and flip flops.
Also, if you are looking for nightlife, we recommend booking in West End or one of the destinations mentioned above. Don’t get us wrong, we love Cabo and Tulum but we don’t come to the east side of Roatán for that experience. There are no restaurants within walking distance but you can kayak to a few restaurants or drive 5 minutes to the villages of Oakridge or Punta Gorda to get authentic Caribbean island food. If you don’t want to leave Añoranza we offer full size kitchens for you to cook or hire our private chef to cook.
TOP FLOOR: There are 2 suites on the top floor that over look the reef and the town of Punta Gorda, to the West. The first suite offers guests a king bed, air-conditioning, Smart TV, ceiling fan, walk-in closet, washer and dryer, safe, en suite bathroom with ceiling fan, two shower heads, two vanities and a soaking tub inside the shower where you can relax and enjoy the view. It also has sliding glass doors that open up to a large balcony, with a ceiling fan. It's a perfect, private, spot to enjoy your morning coffee or sunsets over the reef. The second suite, on the top floor, offers guests a king bed, air-conditioning, Smart TV, ceiling fan, 2 large built-in closets, safe, en suite bathroom with ceiling fan, standing shower with view of the reef, and two vanities. It also has sliding glass doors that opens up to a private balcony.
MIDDLE FLOOR: The middle floor is where you'll more than likely spend most of your time. When you open the main door to the villa, you will be greeted by the view of the reef and the infinity pool. As you step into Añoranza you will be in the outdoor living room. Then, on your right you step into the open concept, air-conditioned, living room and kitchen along with another full bath. High speed fiber optic Wi-Fi throughout. The living room has plenty of comfortable seating and a SmartTV with access to cable channels, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ (Hulu can be accessed via Disney+) as well as a DVD player with DVDs. There’s also a Bluetooth receiver that you can connect your phone to and play your music on the 2 speakers inside and 4 speakers outside. The kitchen offers all Bosch appliances including a fridge, dishwasher, and gas stove. If you decide you do not want to cook, we can set up our personal chef, Dalia, for one special meal or your entire stay. There is a reverse osmosis system at the sink for cooking and drinking water. The whole house has a UV water filter so you can drink the water from any faucet in the house. Also, there is a dining table that seats 8. To the right of the kitchen is the bar area with a full size purified icemaker plus a wine and beer fridge. The entire ocean view wall of the living room is sliding glass doors that open completely to take in the Caribbean views. The infinity pool is just steps away creating an indoor/outdoor experience. There’s a large propane gas grill in the outdoor kitchen to cook your fresh caught fish or lobster.
The stairway to the water is shared with the guests staying at Casita 1, Casita 2, and/or Casita 3 (if booked) and navigates down a cliff and through the trees. There are 4 landings with benches on the way down where you can stop and take in the view or a sunset.
Once you are at the water you will see how clear the water is and can take in the sun or sunset on our dock. Also, you can take one of our 4 complimentary, 2 person, kayaks to explore the reef, mangroves or head over to Punta Gorda to grab a drink or food. We have 2 stand up paddle boards that can be rented for $10 a day each.
Matt and Dalia, your host and concierge before and during your stay can help book anything from excursions, dinners reservations, car rentals, or even a babysitter. Dalia is also our private chef so you can book her for your entire stay or a special meal. Matt or Dalia can meet you at the airport too if you would like for an additional fee. Dalia lives on property
Finally, there are a lot of steps on property so Añoranza is not ideal for anyone who cannot manage a lot of steps

Unique and amazing vacation!

The property is just as beautiful as the pictures! We stayed for 3 nights before heading to the west side of the island and it was hard to leave. We loved taking the kayaks out and relaxing at the house with those gorgeous views. Robert was warm and welcoming and arranged everything we needed (car rental, boat excursion, massage and on site yoga) He was even able to find us prescription medicine in the night when we had a bit of a medical emergency. Dalia’s cooking and company were definitely a highlight. We would absolutely return!

Beautiful Home & Beautiful Views

My husband and I traveled to Roatan for our anniversary and stayed at Anoranza. The home was clean, comfortable and stocked with almost everything you need to make your trip stress free. The views were incredible from every room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting again in the future.

A stay in Heaven

It’s really hard to just summarize this in short. I’ll just start from the beginning. Sean the owner of the home kept in communication with me from beginning to end. The home is isolated which I loved. The pictures do no justice when it comes to the actual view. I have so many clients and family members that want to visit this home because of our social media postings, Just as a FYI there are a lot of stairs to reach the bottom pier. I enjoyed this every morning. Make sure your camera is ready when you open the door the view is going to take your breath away. Now let’s talk about the hostess Robert (property manager). He made the stay that much better. Robert went above and beyond any host I have ever met. He was our tour guide, bar tender and driver. Any questions we had he was right there to give the answers. Now when I travel I’ll be looking for a Robert but I know he is rare and one of a kind. I can go on and on but you’ll see for yourself. He even arranged a massage by the pool. Now there are cameras outdoors by the pool as another guest has mentioned. I think this is for the owners safety and yours. Seeing as though the pool is up high and the glass around it. I still went topless at night lol. Thanks again Sean for your wonderful home. I will be booking again very soon. See you next time Robert. Keep that loving humble spirit.

Perfection

I cannot say enough to convey how wonderful Anoranza is! Every aspect of the experience was excellent from beginning to end and all communication was seamless. We appreciated Robert's friendly personality and extensive local knowledge. His availability to answer questions, offer recommendations, organize plans, chat about the island and make delicious drinks was such a positive part of our time on Roatan. The house is elegant yet comfortable and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. It is beautifully designed and decorated with high quality materials and excellent craftsmanship. There is a view of the sea from every room in the house, including the showers! While we very much enjoyed exploring the island, we also loved the simple pleasure of being "at home", soaking up the beauty and tranquility of the house and surroundings. If you are up for an excursion, we highly recommend the boat trip curated by Robert. He and another local gentleman, Louis, will treat you to a day of exploring tailored to your interests. Along the way you hear about the island's rich history, the culture, and even Robert and Louis's experiences growing up in Roatan families that go back generations. Some of the highlights were snorkeling at Pigeon Key, exploring the mangrove tunnel, and stopping off at the unique neighboring island of St. Helene, where we enjoyed a beautiful Caribbean meal. We even had the unexpected pleasure of meeting some of the local children in St. Helene, and they treated us to in informal walking tour of their community, sharing stories of what it is like to grow up on a small close-knit island that has one car and only acquired electricity a little over a year ago. Such a rich experience! As a family we have had the opportunity to stay in many wonderful villas throughout the Caribbean and I can honestly say that the spectacular setting, gorgeous home, and Robert's personable, upbeat presence, places Anoranza at the top of my list. Thank you for a beautiful week!

About the host

Hosted by Shelby and Sean

Host profile image
The owners, Shelby and Sean, are glad you found Añoranza and look forward to sharing the Añoranza experience with you.

To the owners, Añoranza means stop longing for your dreams and make them happen. Shelby and Sean enjoy beach destinations and traveling the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. Many times, while they were on vacation, they found themselves saying, "I wish we could share this spot with friends and family." The desire to share an amazing place with family and friends is what started their journey through Central America to find the perfect location to build their dream home.

In 2015, they traveled to Roatán after Shelby suggested checking it out because she loved it when she visited on a cruise 10 years before.

As soon as they stepped onto the lot at Punta Blanca and saw the view that would eventually turn into Añoranza's, they knew this was where their dream would come true.

They purchased the lot at the end of 2015 and after working with a local architect for over a year on the design of Añoranza, their dream came to life July 2017 when they started construction on the 3-bedroom Owner's Retreat. It took about 1.5 years to finish the construction but in Feb 2019, the Owner's Retreat was finished.

Shelby and Sean are very proud of how Añoranza turned out and can't wait to have guests enjoy all that Añoranza and Roatán have to offer. They want guests to feel at home and long to return to Añoranza.

Please enjoy Añoranza and respect their dream they worked so hard to achieve.

Why they chose this property

People always ask us, "Why Roatan?". We looked at Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Panama and Roatán before we decided where our dream would be born. When you see the view, you will know why we chose the quiet community of Punta Blanca.

WHY ROATÁN:
* It's a little over 2 hour direct flight from Houston.

* It has the #1 ranked beach in Central America, West Bay Beach but our favorite beach is a less known beach, Camp Bay Beach. Shhhh let’s keep it our secret.

* It has the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world, the Mesoamerican barrier reef, right off the shoreline of Añoranza.

* The reef supports amazing marine life that attracts scuba divers, free-divers, and snorkelers from all over the world to come explore.

* It also provides calm, protected waters for kayaking, paddleboarding, kiteboarding, fly fishing and other water sports.

* A quick boat ride from Añoranza, just on the other side of the reef, you are in deep waters perfect for deep sea fishing.

* It has an amazing Pete Dye designed 18 hole golf course.

* It is part of the "Bay Islands" which means we can explore other islands, a boat or ferry ride away such as Utila, Guanaco, and Cayos Cochinos. There are also small uninhabited islands like Pigeon Cay to explore and have a picnic on.

* It offers zip lining and ATV tours through the jungle

* CEMESA hospital in French Harbor takes U.S. Insurance

* It was a British Commonwealth so most of the locals speak english.

* It has amazing history, culture, people and food
