The staff was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. I just wish they could have gotten the water pressure in the master bath shower fixed, but I survived!!
REPLY: Thank you so much for your patience with the water pressure. The workers from the water company finally found the problem and corrected the issue.

We really liked the house. It was very clean, spacious, had everything we would have had at home. The house was perfectly situated between the snorkeling area and everything else. It was nice being next door to Infinity Bay and their breakfast buffet. The security personnel were excellent. We felt very safe. We also became friends with some of the vendors. They offered their services but when told no or not now they were not pushy. Overall it was a wonderful experience!!!!

Ryan was wonderful and checked on us several time during our stay which I didn't expect. Ruth was also great and was happy to answer any question I had about the vacation prior to our arrival.

Prior to our trip I was really concerned about safety issues. I have to say I felt very safe and everyone on the island was so nice and helpful. Roatan Activies was also great to arrange paddles boards and Dawson was a great teacher for those of us who were paddle board challenged. All I can say about this trip is that it was the vacation of my dreams and I can't wait to take the rest of our family.

We traveled with 50 + people and Island House Rentals made everything easy. Everyone had awesome accommodations and they handled the individual transactions as to make it much easier for me. I travel to Roatan at least 2 times a year and will call on Ruth, Brad, Ryan and the gang in the near future.

Beautiful property, loved the lush vegetation and gorgeous views of the jungle. Wonderful, quiet location, and easy drive to both West Bay and West End. Great exercise to be had on the approx. 15 minute walk to beach by Xbalanque resort. Comfortable furnishings throughout living areas and bedrooms, and fully equipped kitchen including coffee maker, plus a grill on the large deck, which is complete with hammocks! Great place to stay for people who like to be able to dine in at least some of their vacation. Will be back!

Island House staff is excellent. This is our 5th time renting from them and we will continue to do so. Looking forward to the next 5.

The property is a studio but is well appointed and has a full kitchen. The only complaint we had was that there are no curtains over the window above the bed but we just hung up a couple of beach towels and that solved the problem for us. RESPONSE: Thanks for the honest review Mike, the owners are visiting next month (July) and bringing curtains for those windows with them.

The staff at island House truly enhance your stay in Roatan, and elevate it to a level that you cannot imagine, until you experience it. West Bay Beach is heavenly on its' own, yet the people here can, and Do, make it better. In every way, we felt welcomed, and they not only solved any problem we had, but were there to offer help with airport transportation,and anything else we may need, with quick, kind responses to all emails, before our arrival. (DO plan to stop at Eldon's grocery after you arrive at the airport, which I highly suggest; you can pre-book this with IH, via email,and the price is very reasonable. We felt immediately secure enough to leave our basic baggage with the driver, and both go in to shop the store) Further, they helped us print boarding passes,gave us free local maps and suggestions, and more. Their customer service level is consistently at 110%! If you like wonderful attitudes and warm smiles, with an eye on enhancing your vacation, then you will love the team at Island House, as much as we did. Our heartfelt thanks to Shanna, Ryan, and the entire staff at Island House, for making our vacation perfect.

I am searching for a new adjective, as "wonderful" and "amazing" just do not do Tortuga condo, and the Island House staff, justice!. The beach is literally 18 steps from the unit, and with a complete, and well stocked kitchen (paper towels, coffee filters, dish soap, and more), it is so easy to prepare drinks and snacks for enjoying on the beach, or a full meal at any time. We two women felt very safe and secure at all times; there are two guards who each do a 12 hour walking shift,and they are wonderful, helpful young men; they always greeted us, and let us know they were there for us. The condo was built recently with all of the best finishes, from beautiful, cool tile floors,Honduran wood cabinets,and accent tiles in the bathrooms, to the comfortable decor, fans, and great air conditioning units, that keep the entire unit cool. We could turn off the main unit in the den, and open the windows, for a morning breeze, as the windows have screens. Breakfast on the patio is a wonderful way to start your day; there is a large table with comfortable chairs and a great ceiling fan there, as well. The partial ocean view through the swaying palms, with the sounds of the morning birds, start your day perfectly, and it just gets better, from there. The beds are comfortable, and the bedding is good quality, and very soft. Plenty of nice, large towels, wash cloths, and hand towels provided in the spacious bathrooms, and they even supply plush beach towels and a sarong. I have honestly never stayed in a condo this well stocked, in my many years of renting from "by owner" sites. The closets are large, and there are plenty of hangers in each one. A hair dryer is provided,too. Anything that we thought we might need, we would find, tucked into a drawer or cabinet. Shanna decided our tv was not working to her high standards, and had a gentleman carry in a new one, and connect it, before we even unpacked; there are plenty of good channels, in English and Spanish, and the wifi signal was included, and worked well in all areas. Conveniently, there is a key lock box outside the condo door, with a combination,and you can leave a key there at all times, so it is handy when needed, yet you don't need to worry about losing a key at the beach, and your things stay secure inside the condo; there is also a small safe for your use; it is easy to navigate and works well.
The condo is located in the center of everything in West Bay, and we met others staying there, and enjoyed getting to know them. Staying here is like life in your own village, with everything you might need, at your fingertips. Book with the confidence that your comfort, convenience, and everything you need for a relaxing, restorative vacation, is here!

We love staying in roatan and renting one of the houses. We have been there five times and we are planning on coming back again.
I don't want to tell everyone about it cause it will get to crowded. The security is excellent and the maids were always accommodating about doing laundry for us.

Everyone from Ryan to the maid to the security staff was very, very friendly and ever so helpful. We could not have had a better experience and really liked everyone who worked at Island House. Special thanks for helping with the wifi and helping us to arrange a visit to the orphanage so we could make a donation.

Unbelievable, that pretty much explains our vacation at the Gecko Loco house and our week in Roatan.
Thanks so much to Penny, Mark for sharing their beautiful home with us and to Ryan for smoothly setting up our trip, car and fun things to do.
Iits truly a week we will never forget !. Amazing home with incredible views of the ocean and untouched landscape, the birds chirping every morning was so nice and the hammocks were especially comfy and relaxing from fun days at West Bay Beach. The sunrises were spectacular each morning and the sea breeze was just perfect while sipping rum punch on the deck.
Cant wait to stay at the Gecko again soon !

We traveled to Roatan to celebrate a couple of March birthdays. Having 12 in our party the property handled us all comfortably. Plenty of space for group activities and the ability to have separation. We didn't miss any of our creature confort from home. Having a baby Spider monkey next door just added to our enjoyment. The Sunset House truly has one of the nicest sunset views anywhere.
Having Yoni on the premises made this trip an unforgettable pleasure. He was always looking out for us, making sure we weren't burdened by unwanted visitors. We couldn't have been happier.

Ryan, Brad and Ruth were great to work with. They answered the myriad of questions I had before and during my visit. They were quick to get back to me via email and phone. They even handled the park tickets for our visit to Gumbalinba Park. I would definitely look at Island House Rental Properties if I return to Roatan.

The Pelican House was great for our Spring Break trip. As it was around the point for West Bay, it provided a quiet refuge after spending the mornings diving and as a great base for other activities. Since it is not in West Bay, a car is really needed for traveling the island, but the ones for rent at airport were new and reasonably priced. It was nice to have such nice appliances and laundry facilities so we were able to go home with mostly clean cloths.
The home is in a quiet location with a beautiful view of the ocean and when it is less hazy my you can see the mainland.,
