About this property

Sunrise Harbor, Roatan's Premier Vacation Retreat

Sunrise Harbor Vacation Retreat at Mangrove Dock is perfectly located to both the rustic charm of West End, Roatan which is nestled on the shores of world renown Half Moon Bay and all the water sports activities you could ever imagine.
Sunrise Harbor is appropriately named as the sunrise over the island hillsides and tropical harbor is truly breathtaking. The topography is stunning and the heavenly tropical breezes are so refreshing. All this visual and sensational paradise is available to you from your large private balcony overlooking the pristine bay and beautiful Caribbean Sea.
Consider this beautifully appointed, very spacious 1800+ square foot luxury retreat as your private oasis.
The property features 3 bedrooms total, of which two bedrooms are considered identical master suites with king size beds, 2 modern and stone cut bathrooms.
Conveniences also include unlimited use of Wi-Fi internet (most other rentals require a re-purchase (re-load) card after the first few days of use). Also as an added convenience is a courtesy local phone.
A laundry room with a washer and dryer is also within the unit so no need to send out or trips to a laundry mat for extended stays.
Life is a breeze at our retreat as the almost constant trade winds off the mountains and over the harbor blend perfectly together to provide a remarkable natural breezeway throughout the entire condo. The passageway from the terrace routes directly through the entire unit coupled with advanced windows and louvered doors to keep the fresh island breezes flowing at between 12-18 miles an hour on average. Most guests comment this is one of the best features of the property.
You can always keep your cool in our vacation retreat as we have just recently installed the highest rated central air conditioning available on the island. An ultra high efficiency, (22 seer) will keep you cool and comfortable always. The air conditioning system coupled with the modern double pain windows and sliding glass doors can bring down the temperature 8-10 degrees in under an hour. No other property can offer such comfort and efficiency.
This retreat is ideally located within easy walking distance of all activities, restaurants, bars and beautiful beaches. Half-moon bay is just a quarter-mile away or a timed 6 minute short and very safe walk. Swim, snorkel or just stool along the pearl white sandy beach of world renowned Half Moon Bay in West End for a day of total delight. Shop in a vast variety of local quant stores dotting the main street of rustic West End. The local food offered in restaurants and street vendors is remarkable and we have heard over and over again by guests, "the best in the world". Visit our concierge page on our website to get the details and locations of our favorite locations.
Deep-sea fishing is outstanding in just 3 minutes from the harbor entrance are depp's between 700 and 1000 feet. visit our fishing charter service at www.wahooslayer.com or see our excellent reviews on TripAdvisor.
A world famous dive shop (Seagrape Plantation Dive Shop) is only 200 feet from the condo and offers reef diving just five minutes from the harbor for only $35 per dive. There is a nice breakfast/lunch restaurant across the street.
Your comfort and peace of mind is paramount in our commitment to you. We have installed the very best water filtration system throughout the entire condo to ensure pure drinking water even in the bathrooms and showers so there is no need to be concerned about brushing your teeth, ice from the freezer or cooking a meal with our water from the kitchen sink. We also have available a "Zero Water" pitcher in the refrigerator as an added convenience as an additional source of absolutely pure drinking water.
We have also installed a new 55 inch smart TV with a blue Ray DVD player and sound bar for the best possible quality entertainment. We have over 180 + Quality DVD and Blu-ray selections for the entire family.
Adding to your entertainment experience is unlimited Internet/Wi-Fi. No need to run down to the store and add minutes to a chip card like many other units require.
Other units also have hidden costs such as paying for your own electricity that they take out of your security deposit. Electricity is extremely expensive on the island and can cost up to $.40 a kilowatt hour. You will never receive an electric bill from us.
Our retreat has everything you would need from hair blowers to a complete kitchen inventory of utensils.
From the prime location convenient to beaches, shopping and restaurants in and around West End to the comfort, convenience and beauty of this condo we believe you will find this vacation retreat to be the very best value for you, your family and friends.

Sunrise Harbor

The property was better than showed online. Everything imaginable in the kitchen. Bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful, plenty of space for clothing. We walked to West End at least once a day. We would definitely stay here again. Donna was great setting up our pickup at airport and departure to airport.

Wonderful Stay!

Beautiful and well stocked condo that served our family perfectly over a week. Fantastic location - quiet area but easy walk to town. Very responsive hosts who were very helpful and accommodating after we had experienced major travel delays. We highly recommend this condo if you are considering a trip to Roatan.

Condo Retreat

The property manager was very kind and very helpful. The water wasnt working and she was quick to get it taken care of as well as when the electricity went out too. It was quiet and accessible. It was nice not needing to have keys and using the punch pad for everyone to get into the condo.Theu had a lot of amenities like soap and body wash even sunscreen which was veru convenient. My family enjoyed their array of DVDs and the table was big enough for us to play cards. The pool was enhoyable. The only downside is the check in and out times were unclear and was asked if I could leave earlier than the posted check out time so they could let another guest check in sooner. I did decline and they respected that but I did not find the request very professional. Otherwise, the family really enjoyed the stay and would recommend this place for future visits to the island.

Quiet Honduran Getaway

We enjoyed our stay very much and the condo exceeded our expectations on comfort, accessibility to dining, and space. Mostly in Roatan we spent most of our trip under water but played many card games and even popped in a movie from the extensive collection. Donna met us at our checkin and gave us the tour. Easy to come and go as we please, excellent shampoo and conditioner, and had all the amenities of home. Kitchen was fully stocked and the previous guests even left us each a beer : ) Highly recommend for anyone staying in West End who wants to be a short walk removed from the nightlife.

Great Property with a Great Location!

Condo is good size with 3 Bedrooms and a beautiful view. Location is within short walk to several coffee shops, restaurants, and shops. Be aware of the braid and massage scam ladies...Be assertive with No means No! Property has everything you could possibly need and then some. Rick and Laura are wonderful property managers to work with. Property manager on site is also awesome. Property is also in a safe area that is quiet plus a beautiful water view and swimming pool available. I highly recommend staying at this property.

Love Sunrise Harbor

We 110% recommend this property!! Sunrise Harbor, its owners and property manager are all amazing. I knew before going to Roatan that it would be lovely, based on my conversations with the owner. The location is quiet and about a 4 to 5 minute walk from the action of downtown West End. There are some amazing restaurants just steps from this property and a dive shop next door. We did have a bit of an issue with the A/C when we were there, but the owner response was immediate and their property manager handled the quick repair, all very appreciated. We fell in love with Roatan and can't wait to visit again next year!

Overall great stay. Perfect location in one of the best parts of the island, indisputably. Not too loud, but not far from the bars and restaurants of West End either. Had to sweep up when I arrived so I could walk around barefoot. Other than small cleanliness issues everything was great.

Amazing host support!

The condo is in great condition and you can tell that it is the owner's personal vacation home and not just an income property. It was stocked with everything we could need. All the appliances were new when we arrived. And the owner's support and responsiveness were greatly appreciated. The location is a quick walk into West End and the road has now been paved. That was a big improvement over the pot holes from earlier years. Lots of rain during our two week stay in November so you may want to wait a month for sunnier days. Check out Cafe de Palo next door for a great place to enjoy a morning coffee or a happy hour drink. It is a hidden gem. We definitely recommend this great West End Condo.

Do not hesitate!

This is truly a spacious three-bedroom two bath condo with a comfortable living area that flows into the dining area and a very well-equipped kitchen. We purchased groceries on the way in and used the kitchen to prepare breakfast and lunches and then we ate out in the evenings. There is a large deck that overlooks a quiet bay and we spent most of our mornings drinking coffee on the deck. The condo is located within short walking distance from the restaurants, snorkeling, and shopping that West End offers. It saved us from having to rent a car to travel back and forth. Even after dark we felt very safe walking back to the unit. Rick and Linda were great to work with and once we got on the island Donna is the person to get a hold of. From arranging transportation, personal chef service, or any other questions you might have, Donna, the house manager, is the person to get a hold of. Download WhatsApp to communicate while on the island. Everyone uses it and it's free. I also recommend taking 15-20 mins when you first arrive and read through the information booklet that Rick and Linda have put together. It is packed with lots of useful information from dining to excursions. This condo was so comfortable we even spent a few of our afternoons snuggled on the couch and watched a movie from their well-stocked DVD library. If you are looking for a VRBO on Roaton Island, do not hesitate, book this now!

The property was exactly as described. It is in a very convenient location with plenty of good restaurants nearby. There is a guard on the property at all times, although it seems unnecessary.

All four of the owners are deeply involved in ministry work to benefit the islands children’s ministry and have cofounded “Roatan Fisher of Men Children's Ministry”.

Why they chose this property

With an absolute passion and compassion for the people and the island of Roatan, the four owners decided to go in partnership to purchase a property that could be used as both a vacation retreat rental property and a ministry resource. After an extensive search all over the island this property offered the greatest benefits in location, construction and potential. The location is ideal in that it is so convenient to dive shops, restaurants, fishing and to the unique charm of West End. The relatively new solid construction and appearance of the property with its lush landscaping blended in a tropical ambience also brought us to the conclusion of purchasing this property above all others. Knowing also the past excellent rental history because of the units' desirability was very encouraging. We all felt that the investment in this particular property would yield the greatest benefits in ownership.

What makes this property unique

The uniqueness of this property stands far above others when you consider the location, the efficiency and the magnificence of this luxury retreat. The spaciousness of this 1800 square-foot unit coupled with the breathtaking scenic views and the abundance of tropical breezes truly sets this property apart from all others.
Your comfort and peace of mind is paramount in our commitment to you. We have installed the very best water filtration system throughout the entire condo to ensure pure drinking water even in the bathrooms and showers so there is no need to be concerned about brushing your teeth, ice from the freezer or cooking a meal with our water from the kitchen sink. We also have available a "Zero Water" pitcher in the refrigerator as an added convenience as an additional source of absolutely pure drinking water.
While the tropical breezes flows throughout the unit, if you feel the need to turn on the air-conditioner you'll be delighted to know we just installed the most efficient and effective Central air conditioning system available. The unit with its double pane windows coupled with the solid construction cools rapidly in all rooms if needed.
We have also installed a new 55 inch smart TV with a blue Ray DVD player and sound bar for the best possible quality entertainment. We have over 180 + Quality DVD and Blu-ray selections for the entire family.
Adding to your entertainment experience is unlimited Internet/Wi-Fi. No need to run down to the store and add minutes to a chip card like many other units require.
Other units also have hidden costs such as paying for your own electricity. Electricity is extremely expensive on the island and can cost up to $.40 a kilowatt hour. You will never receive an electric bill from us.
From the location to the comforts, this retreat should not ever be considered just another rental property, it must be considered your oasis on a tropical island with all the comforts and conveniences of your home away from home.
