Comfortable home with a view!
A comfortable house on the hillside with an expansive view of the sea and the mountains of mainland Honduras. Wonderful for a family looking relax and play in the pool and the ocean easily accessible by foot for some shoreline snorkeling. Road in best traveled with a four wheel drive with clearance. Caretaker and house manager both lovely, helpful and can share some really great stories. If a more remote location is for you, this checks that box. Exploring the east coast away from crowds allowed us beaches nearly to ourselves. May want to pick up bulk of groceries at the supermarket in Coxen Hole or French Harbor as it is more limited in the Calabash area for cooking in the well equipped kitchen. Thanks again to Sherri who was quite responsive in our communications!

Hillside Heaven
While the property is called Hillside Paradise, we think it is heaven! Perfect spot for those wanting outdoor adventure based vacation versus shopping and night life. This is our second year staying at the property and it felt like home. We embraced the dirt road to reach the house, power outages (electrical company issues), sand-flys, and smoke from mainland because we loved snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, and fly-fishing. TyTy was fantastic with his big smile taking us out on the center-consol boat and share his knowledge of the area and environment. We enjoyed the mangrove tour and dinners/drinks at Trico-Jonesville. Sherri and Brian are great hosts with prompt and clear communications and they helped coordinate last minute details. The home decorations are more than we expected and reflect the love the owners have for their house. This is great place to get away from electronics (even though there is WiFi and cell coverage) and enjoy the beauty of Roatan and the Caribbean.

Our short 4 day stay at Hillside Paradise was perfect. We loved everything about the location and home. It was so peaceful with the most beautiful views. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. We also went out fishing and snorkeling with Tie Tie- we can not say enough about this guy!! He is so kind and knows everything there is to know about the island, fishing and snorkeling spots. Sherri and Brian were also great to work with. Brian met us (I originally went to the wrong meet up spot:/) and led us to the house, gave us a tour and made sure we had what we needed before leaving. Thank you all for everything! We miss the dogs too!

Adventure to the other side
Great house.... they met us at the airport and we stopped to get necessities. It is off the beaten path but if you like that then you'll love this place. Little market about 15-20 minutes down the rugged dirt road (need suv for ground clearance) to get what you have forgotten. Cool beach bars to explore in neighboring towns if willing to drive. Had a local deliver us king crabs, fish and conch to the house. Tie Tie the caretaker brought us fresh tuna. We ate well and relaxed! Definitely recommend for the ones that want to see it all and experience the island.

The home was as advertised. Beautiful view, extremely comfortable and well appointed. The home is on the quiet side of the island so stop at the grocery store on the way to the house. Tie Tie is the best guide as to where to go and what to do. Went out on the boat a couple days and had lunch at Trico. AMAZING! We would recommend this property to anyone. Sherri is very responsive and a pleasure to deal with.

Awesome
Great place to sit back and relax or Jump in the boat with Ty Ty for a great tour of the island or some great fishing. Ty Ty gives the rental a personal touch that cannot be described in words. He went above and beyond to make sure our stay was great and even came looking for us after dark when he thought we might be lost going to La Sirina for supper. He is a great fishing guide and put us on the fish and made my Granddaughters 16th Birthday very special with some yellow tail and 2 big Wahoo and we lost another 3 big Whoo that morning. Sherri was great from the booking to the end and would book with her in a heart beat. Island car rental rented us a 4 door truck and you need a truck or SUV for this rental as the roads just are not made for compact cars. I am sending down Fishing tackle to Ty Ty as it is hard to find on the island and if you love to fish he is the guy.

East End Paradise
Great house with a beautiful view and pool. Definitely rent a 4-wheel drive as the last few miles are on gravel roads that are not well-maintained… but the drive is worth it. We were met at the airport by Deysi, who we followed to the grocery store to stock up on supplies and then followed to the house. Once there we were met by Ty Ty, who was a great asset. He gave us advice on where to go and what to do on the east end of the island. We took advantage of the “mangrove boat tour” and Ty Ty was a fabulous guide (highly recommended). Check-in and out was a breeze. Great water-pressure for showers, etc. and five-gallon jugs of drinking water provided (American stomachs can not tolerate the local water). Several good restaurants within a 20-30 minute drive. The house has its own dock and ocean access (about a 3-minute walk) and you can snorkel the reef (we saw lobsters and octopus and lots of various fish). We would come back here in a heartbeat!
