Great place to enjoy best of Roatan

Just back from Honduras, spent last 4 days of our vacation at the "Wood House". Would definitely return. We (husband & 12 year old daughter) thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This house is in perfect location-2 minute walk to all great restaurants, beach, yet out of the way enough to be pretty quiet & off the main drag. House is aesthetically cool-almost Balinese style. Master bedroom building has comfortable bed, dresser like shelving, quasi built in bookshelves (with books), ceiling fan & tv. Main house has super functional kitchen, all working appliances. Bathroom is spacious with plenty of clean towels, sheets & hot water. There's also a comfortable double bed & another tv. There's also a cool outdoor " living room" (2 couches, few chairs & tables + hammock. Along the "back wall" is another half bath & washing machine. Area is covered & essentially has 3 walls. Great place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee & a book or an evening beer. There's also a cool looking outdoor shower. Lots of privacy & great foliage. Local property manager, Tanjah was really friendly & helpful without being intrusive. She can give recommendations & help you arrange anything. Another huge benefit to the house is the Lily Pond restaurant next door. Amazing food, we literally shouted over the fence to order appetizers & desserts-yum! Only downside I can imagine to this property is that it's not directly on the beach. Being directly on the beach in Roatan however generally would mean a loud, not private, smaller location at a much higher price. Stay here, enjoy yourself at a reasonable price & walk 2 minutes-overall, a MUCH better call. (Did I mention Woody's grocery store is truly a 1 minute walk).
