Wish we were still there!

Review Submitted: July 1, 2011 Date of Stay: June 2011
My husband and I stayed at Casa del Mar for a week for my birthday in June. Wow, what a great time we had! This place was amazing and in the perfect location. Totally secluded yet so close to both West Bay and West End. We walked to West Bay almost every night for dinner and to West End one night. It was also very easy to catch a water taxi from the dock during the day.

We felt totally safe and comfortable in Orchid Beach and didn't want to leave at the end of the week. The house was beautiful and spacious (way too much room for just the two of us) and very tastefully decorated. The view from the balcony was spectacular.

The snorkeling just off the dock was amazing (In my opinion way better than at West Bay). We even did a night snorkel and saw a bunch of lobsters and an octopus. Unfortunately we never had time to use the kayaks to paddle to the reef but we did SCUBA dive the entire week with Las Rocas, whom Heather, the owner of Casa del Mar, had recommended.

The dive shop at Las Rocas was terrific and we were so happy Heather had recommended them to us. What a great time we had with them and Marlo, the boat captain, picked us up from our dock every morning.

I highly, highly recommend Casa del Mar to anyone who wants to have a beautiful, relaxing time in Roatan - close to everything yet away from it all.

Perfect Place for the Perfect Vacation

Review Submitted: March 27, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
My husband and I spent our first visit to Roatan at Heather's home. She was very helpful in orienting us to the culture and logistics of life on Roatan. Freddie, the driver she recommends, is an experience all by himself. He was always on time and provided information and entertainment on route. Neither of us like crowds and this location was ideal. Water taxi or a walk to West Bay or West Bend is easy; the beach quiet, and the snorkeling enjoyable.The home was comfortable with all of the ammenities one needs for relaxing in paradise.

Heaven

Review Submitted: February 9, 2011 Date of Stay: January 2011
My husband and I just got back from a week in Roatan. We absolutely loved staying at this house.The photos do not do it justice- it is everything you would want in a vacation rental.
The location is perfect- you can walk along the beach in either direction, to West Bay or West End. West Bay is great for daytime fun and West End for nighttime fun- but I wouldn't want to stay in either location. West Bay was dead at night and West End was a little too hectic during the day. (Don't get me wrong- we loved West End and went there almost every night, but I wouldn't want to stay there- in full sunlight, it loses some of it's charm, and a little bit dirtier than other parts of the island).
The house right in the middle was the perfect solution. We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend it to all of our friends. Heather was fabulous and extremely helpful- we go the chance to meet her and her family while there. She was great to work with, and we enjoyed having a glass of wine with her on the beautiful balcony, overlooking the sunset!

Owner's Response: We loved meeting you guys too, and having you as guests! I totally agree with what you said about West End during the day, the house is really in a great spot.

Casa Del Mar is the perfect Island getaway!

Review Submitted: August 13, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
My sister and I recently spent 6 days wonderful days at Heather's place "Casa Del Mar" at Orchid Beach. This was our first time to Roatan so we were unfamiliar with the Iayout of the Island. Orchid Beach turned out to be the perfect place for us because it's inbetween West Bay and West End. Each morning, we would walk to West Bay to go diving and every evening, we would walk to West End for dinner. We decided against renting a car while in Roatan and relied on Freddie for transportation to and from the airport. He is very reilable and is a great tour guide.

Cas Del Mar was very relaxing and complete with all the amenities one would need on vacation. The community is very quiet and the people are very friendly. The security guards and gardner were never hard to find should you need anything and would always walk us to our door upon arriving to the property after dinner.

The snorkling infront of the property was great and I even spotted a large sting ray just feet from the dock.

I wished our schedules would have allowed us to stay longer but I'll definately make plans to return to Casa Del Mar again in the future.

Thanks again,

Kevin & Laura

Beautiful house on a beautiful island!

Review Submitted: July 31, 2010 Date of Stay: July 2010
we had a fantastic time in Roatan, and staying at Heather's house contributed to it. The house is clean, well-equiped, and spacious. You can cook, watch TV/DVDs, listen to music. Both decks are very nice to relax on and read books. There were not many people staying at other houses in the property but everyone we met there was super friendly and helpfult. And the house is located just a few steps away from the beach.

Snorkeling is amazing in Roatan, and you don't have to go very far to enjoy the aquatic life. Right off the house you can see beautiful fish and corals. Kayaks are available for you, and it's a fun activity to do. Juan Carlos, the gardner was also very friendly and helpful.

The house is in a secluded area between West Bay and West End. You can easily take water taxis to go to both places, have diner/lunch, a drink, snorkel. You can kayak there, too.

During our stay we rented a scooter to get around the island. It was fun to do, though a bit challenging on some of the dirt roads that get to the house. Would recommend for a little adventure!

Freddie the driver was also very nice, helpful and reliable.

In short, we had a wonderful time in Roatan and we would stay again at Heather's house!
