I’ll start off by saying this property is beautiful! It’s modern, clean, well maintained and well appointed. The view of Half Moon Bay is breathtaking and the location in West End is exactly what we were looking for. You can walk to all the shops, restaurants and bars and the water is steps from the front gate.
We had the property to ourselves as May is the low season and we stayed in the 2nd floor rental. Everything in the rental was as stated in the listing. Things that weren’t listed were all the doors have key codes to enter so you don’t have to carry a key, washer and dryer, and whole house water filtration system for all the faucets. This was especially nice so you didn’t have to worry when brushing teeth, showering or filling up water bottles. Pedro meets you on the road upon your arrival to take your things up to the house because you can only access it via the beach. This was not a problem for us. Although you do get sand on you if you are covered in coconut oil! Pedro refresh’s the pail of clean water by your door daily to rinse your feet.
As we were the only renters on the property, we were able to use the 1st floor lounge chairs to leave our stuff while we snorkeled steps from our gate. It was also nice to rinse off the salt water in the outdoor shower. The rooftop is an amazing feature of this property! It’s a shared space with the other renters, but very private from the rest of West End. The plunge pool was a nice place to come back to and cool off. It has lounge chairs, picnic table, grill, patio set, sink and counter. There is even a cozy round daybed to view the stars! Being on a peninsula the views of the water are panoramic!
The 2nd floor has WiFi, A/C, two flat screen TVs with cable, coffee pot, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, blender, nice appliances, etc. There were plenty of pots and pans if you want to cook, sufficient towels/washcloths and they even provide 4 beach towels! There is a bit of noise at night being you are right in West End, but we just put the tv on a sleep timer and the noise was done by 1 am.
Pedro is always available if needed during the day. You are provided a local cell phone with minutes and contact numbers programmed. Jimmie from Roatan Vacation Rentals and Jamie from Detour Roatan were helpful, responsive and made us feel very welcome! They arranged our pick up/drop off with Frankie whose staff is friendly and accommodating! They take care of you from the moment you set foot on the island.
