About this property

On the beach between W Bay & W End - POOL & DOCK - screen porch - Sunsets galore

You are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 4 bedroom/ 4 bath home on the beach. The spacious open concept living room is ideal for large groups and contains two couches, chair, dining table and is open to the kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen also offers 4 barstools for countertop eating and conversing with people in the kitchen area. The main level screened in porch offers fantastic views of the beach and pool shared with little house next door. The screened in porch contains a wet bar, fridge, grill and seating for 8 people. A great area to relax and enjoy a bug-free environment!

Of the two main floor bedrooms, one contains a king size bed and the other a queen featuring Serta memory foam mattresses. The two downstairs bedrooms each come with a queen size and twin bed making comfortable sleeping arrangements. Each bedroom has an attached bathroom, ideal for multiple couples traveling together yet desiring privacy.

There is a second living area downstairs for our guests to gather and enjoy quiet times. We have an assortment of board games, cards and dice and, at times, there are usually masks, snorkels and fins for your enjoyment on the beach.

The outside spaces are phenomenol for gathering with friends with easy access to the shared pool area and beach (pool is shared with owners home and a one bedroom apartment that is sparingly rented). The soaking pool cascades into the larger pool. They are surrounded by lounge chairs on the deck. The lower deck has an outdoor shower and faucet to rinse off sand and salt water.

On the beach, guests will find beach chairs as well as an amazing spot for snorkeling and kayaking. This home is the perfect spot for snorkeling and scuba enthusiasts with some of the best snorkeling on the island. There is a highly rated Dive Shop within steps of the property. Other dive shops on the west end of the island typically provide guests with pick up and drop off at the dock!

Enjoy amazing sunsets and evening cocktails on the semi-private dock (shared with Turtle Beach Dive Resort) under the palapa. The dock palapa comes with a hammock, bench, chair and swing for your enjoyment. There is a second dock that is also associated with the property and also contains a sun deck and palapa.

One of the amazing features of this property is the location. There are several amazing restaurants located on the beach just minutes walk from the house. We are conveniently located within walking distance and mid-way between the villages of West Bay and West End.

Great House!

Lazy A is a great house! Very comfortable with amazing decks to gather as a family. The communication from both Sarah and Mary was great. It’s walkable to West Bay but a water taxi to West End is needed if you have kids or older adults in your family. Rigo the taxi and tour host is also fantastic!

Wonderful stay

We had a fantastic week. Sarah was very responsive to all our questions and set-up transportation from the airport (including a stop at the supermarket). Mary was wonderful at check in and helped arrange water taxis with Big John and on island activities. The water taxi is convenient with Big John. He took us for a half-day snorkeling which was great. We did the dolphin encounter and drop sea fishing. Easy walk to West Bay and restoring the way. It’s a great, quiet and safe location.

Beautiful—no need to look further

This is a beautiful beachfront home with excellent hosts, a gardener who brings you fruit if you ask, and snorkeling in your front yard. All amenities that you would need, with great design and ability to grill on a screened in porch. We were glad we chose to NOT rent a car given available water and land taxis and ‘interesting’ Roatan driving rules/limited signage. If you want a more secluded place without the crowds/touristy feel of west bay, this could be exactly what you’re looking for. Easy water taxi to west end where we enjoyed many inexpensive local restaurants. Consider going to Sandy Buns early in your trip to buy a loaf of homemade bread for your stay, and cinnamon buns for the next morning. Tijuana Tacos=awesome. Local tours, Clearwater adventures, tons of stuff to do. Enjoy!!

Hidden Gem!

Not only is Roatan the best kept secret, this house was amazing! This was our second year in a row to come to the island and stay in the Orchid neighborhood. The house sits right on the beach and the views were breathtaking at dawn and sunset! The house was clean and the beds were comfy. Kitchen has all of the tools you need. Walking distance to several restaurants or a quick water taxi to West Bay and West End. ClearWater Diving was a couple doors down on the beach. We love diving with them. Their guide-to-diver ratios are so small that it is practically a private dive. Sarah and Mary were responsive to anything we needed and will set up airport transportation stress-free. Ask Sarah for Dixie's number. She is a private (and affordable) chef that will come cook island cuisine at the house. Her food was amazing and we have used her twice now. Her key lime pie is a MUST! Tip her good :) We are already planning our next visit to the Lazy-A Beach house!! Thanks Sarah!!

Hard to beat!

Well, with so many high ratings already, it’s hard to top some of the other reviews about this property. We enjoyed every moment of our trip and this property didn’t disappoint. We are avid snorkelers. We’ve been to most of the Caribbean islands focused on some of the best snorkeling sites we could find. Roatan was one of our last remaining stops that we had high expectations for the water experience. During our stay, we enjoyed the snorkeling directly out from the house, we also took advantage of being next door to Clearwater Diving, and did several tag-alongs and excursions. The coral was in fantastic shape and we had some amazing adventures. Don’t miss out on the night snorkels, the bioluminescence was wild! We also had the opportunity to meet Sarah and it was a pleasure. She was very helpful and accommodating (as well as Mary the house manager!). They hooked us up with Big John for our taxi rides, and we even spent a day with him and his boys on an excursion. He is the best! The house is all you’d hope for. It was comfortable, relaxing and perfectly located. No need to continue to search, if it’s available, book it! You won’t be disappointed and the views are amazing. The beds are comfy and the kitchen is well stocked. Be sure to book Dixie for a homemade meal at the house. We asked for Baleadas (not on her normal menu) and they were great, only regret was we didn’t have her cook her other dishes while we were there (gives us another reason to go back!)

Amazing vacation spot

This property is in the perfect location on the island and we enjoyed our stay immensely. A walk down the beach allows for 3 or 4 different places to eat and water taxis are readily available to take you to West End and West Bay. The people of Roatan are friendly and the fun is endless. We all felt safe and highly recommended visiting this beautiful island, especially staying at Lazy A Beach House!

A LAZY VACATION

The property was as described in the listing. Perfect setting for our family of six. Three couples. Plenty of activities, able to walk to West End (although a bit rocky and our feet got wet) and West Bay. Five minute walk to the scuba Centre, Clearwater. So many great restaurants and snorkel settings. Loved our stay!

Fabulous trip

Two families each with teen boys and one 20y.o. Everyone’s first time in Roatan. The house was clean, well appointed and well situated almost half way between West Bay and West End. Mary, the property manager, was a pleasure to deal with and loaded us up with tons of information about the area, locals to use for the water taxi, etc. She also put us in contact with one of our favorite things from the week: Dixie, a wonderful local woman who we hired twice during the week to come to the house and cook dinner. We all immensely enjoyed our time with Dixie and her food was divine! While only novice divers (we did two dives this week: SPECTACULAR!), we are all practiced and well seasoned snorkelers. We have snorkeled in Aruba, the Bahamas, USVI, Cancun and Grand Cayman and we all agreed the snorkeling on the Roatan reef was without question the best we’ve ever done. It was simply perfect. Fantastic water clarity, hundreds of species, never ending reef formations and super calm waters. There is some fun little snorkeling right off the dock at the house and in truth spent a fair bit of our “down” days doing just that. But West End Wall was a walk/water taxi ride away and was phenomenal, and then we hired Big John, for a nominal fee, to take us out in his water taxi m to do a couple of drift snorkels along the reef wall….equally phenomenal. We are all excited to return some day, hopefully soon!

The Perfect Getaway

Our family loved this property for so many reasons. First, the hosts, Sarah and Mary were great to work with, often providing help and recommendations well in advance. Second, the location is ideal - nestled between West Bay and West End it is a quiet and wonderful beach which you can snorkel from directly. Third, the house is well-equipped, spacious and comfortable and we very much appreciated the pool. It really was the perfect getaway for our family of 5.

Perfect Launch Pad for Adventure, Food, Incredible Scenery and Relaxation

Mary thank you so much for allowing us to stay at the Lazy A beach house and for all of the advice that you gave my family and my friends. The Lazy A served as the centerpiece for the best vacation that we have experienced, and we have gone to some pretty amazing places. Denesse and all of the dive masters at Clearwater Adventures were the crown jewels of our time in Roatan. We spent five of our eight days in Roatan with Clearwater. Every family that goes to Roatan should experience the Clearwater Cultural Tour. We did it on the first full day that we there, and it established the perfect framework for the rest of the vacation. Denesse motivated us to get involved with the Crawfish Rock Village elementary school, I am currently in the process to see if we can get the school set with a basic internet capability and Chromebook/computers conduct distributed education. Some technicians and I might be renting the Lazy A in the near future in order to set all of that up. Dixie's food was excellent, and we loved talking with her, watching her cook and getting to know her nephew/son. He is a remarkable young man. Rigo squared us away om transportation to and from the airport, as well as nature parks, Coxen Hole key points and local food joints. We loved Big John's Water Taxi service. Mary was fabulous, and ensured we had everything that we needed. You have a very special place. We will back to the Lazy A soon. We already miss those glorious sunsets.
