Ridge House in Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras | Homestay | House

Secluded at the top of a winding stone stairway, amid fragrant gardens, cahoon palms and soft tropical breezes, the Ridge House in Roatan, Bay Islands (Honduras) stands less than one-half mile from the center of West End's beaches, restaurants and nightlife with spectacular coastal views.

The single-story Ridge House in Bay Islands features two smoke-free bedroom suites with garden and ocean views from the private, wrap-around balcony. Tropical colors provide a soft backdrop for Tommy Bahamma-style furniture and exposed-beamed ceilings. The kitchen amenities include top end appliances as well as a dishwasher and garbage disposal (an unusual feature for most Roatan homes).

Numerous restaurants and bars are just down the hill in West End. Enjoy the beach at Half Moon Bay or take a water taxi to the beaches at West Bay. High-speed Internet access is offered in nearby West End internet cafes. Activities include snorkeling directly from the beach, horse back riding and a zip tour through the tree tops.
