Heaven is a home near the beach-in Roatan!

Orchid Breeze, part of the private Orchid Beach Village of 7 homes in West Bay near the beach, is set atop a 40 ft hillside on 1/3 acre, above the homes, yet, only 50 feet from the beach. Our home provides you with panoramic views of the Caribbean sea, wildlife ,tropical gardens of over 400 plants and unforgettable sunsets. Best of all- our unknown fabulous underwater aquarium at waters edge for snorkeling, diving, kayaking, swimming, or laying in the sun on our tranquil ocean on your air mattress or floating lounge chairs (provided) with your favorite beverage.

Location,Location- Orchid Breeze is located midway between famous West Bay Beach and the tourist town of West End. White sandy beaches,turquoise waters and island style eateries/bars in West Bay Beach to diverse restaurants/bars and nightlife,tourist shopping, and island tours and activities galore in West End, you have the best of both worlds right next door

Orchid Breeze Lifestyle: Orchid Breeze is your home away from home. Wake up in the morning, after a good nite sleep on our memory foam mattresses, with coffee on the main deck. Listen to the chirping wildlife in the surrounding treetops, view the occasional multicolored gecko scooting across the railings or the brilliant macaw parrots flying overhead. You may even see an iguana hidden on the tree branches. After your coffee, wander out to the dock (private pathway,) for your morning snorkel in our crystal clear water. Colorful coral formations, large varieties of fish in every color imaginable, conch, lobster, starfish will be you and your camera's delight! After your dive or snorkel or kayaking, head back to the house for a relaxing lunch on the covered main deck followed by a siesta in our hammock with ceiling fans cooling you in the warm afternoon. Well rested, head out to the beach again for some sun bathing on the lounge chairs/hammocks with your favorite book at waters edge or on our adjacent small sandy beach area.

When it 's too hot, take a swim or float on our raft chairs or mattresses with your favorite beverage. (don't forget the ice chest provided) in our calm water (like your own private swimming pool). After a long day at the beach, return to the house, rinse the salt water off in our outside shower and prepare for the evening sunset. Spectacular, colorful sunsets each night can be viewed from either the upper deck or the dock (don't forget the camera!) If you are feeling lazy and do not wish to go out, barbecue some fresh fish on our stainless gas grill. The rest of your feast can be prepared in our gourmet kitchen. Dining can be a truly romantic experience on either deck with our outside Balinese banana lites, tiki torches and candles on our outside dining table or inside on our beautiful glass/wicker table. When dinner is done, head up to the Upper deck for thee most amazing star and moon gazing (top of the world experience)

Great Time

Submitted: February 20, 2013 Stayed: February 2013
Wanted to thank you again for being such awesome hosts---the Roatan house was beautiful and our vacation was perfect.
The dive op we used turned out to be very good. It's Coconut Tree Divers and is right next to the roundabout in West End...quite the hub of activity as I'm sure you've noticed driving by. Seems like everyone stops by and hangs out chatting. The owners are Gay and PJ (Brit ex-pats). They've been running the shop for over 10 years. It's very organized. The have a morning 2-tank boat leaving at 8:30 and two individual afternoon boat dives, at 1:30 and 2:30. They charge $30 per dive (35 if you need rental dive equipment) which is a competetive rate. All dives are guided and the sites are close. After more than 1000 dives, I'd give them a solid B+ and would recommend them to independent (DIY) divers. Not so much to the "pampered pets" as they actually expect divers to carry and set up thier own gear.
Two nice restaurants in West End: Monkey Island for Mexican food. Awesome Mexican tortilla casserole and fajitas. Also Carribean Blue (down toward the end) for Tex-Mex, great burgers and steaks (he imports the meat from Texas) and ribs. Owner is Eddie from Texas, cheap prices.
Stay away from Eagle Rays. Expensive and boring cookie-cutter carib menu. But nice deck and very potent Rum drinks.
We enjoyed the laid back pace and people better in West End over West Bay which seemed more "resorty". Had a nice party for Super Bowl at Infinity Bay...thanks for the tip (and thanks Eric for the ride home!) Too bad about the Niners...
Omar was very professional and reliable.
We rented scooters from Vans in WE, $39 for 24 hours. Fun way to see the island.
We walked to/from WB a couple of times without incident.
Anyway, thanks again. Had a great time

Welcoming House - Great Location - Super Snorkeling

5 of 5
Submitted: January 30, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Our family of 5 was in Roatan from 12-25/1-5 and spent the last 6 night of our stay at Orchid Breeze. The house is situated in a quiet small private community about a miles beach walk either way between West End & West Bay (we were there just after rainy season and to go to West End you did need to do a little rock hoping but it was still doable via beach). West End had nice restaurants with great food/prices. One bad experience dining at the Lighthouse - our quick lunch there turned into a nearly 4 hour ordeal and to make thing worse the food was not good. Recommend Tongs, Monkey Bar, Barefoot on the Beach (right before you hit the street on the beach - great food/service our last night). West Bay in the other direction offered great snorkeling and beach sitting. I suggest trying the Deli in the Market for lunch.
The snorkeling in the shallows right in front of the house was very good and for the strong swimmer you can swim out to the reef (I would gage at 1/4 mile out might be more). We saw fish of all variety including a group a sea turtles and a star fish. My sons 12, 20 & 22 loved it.
The house had everything you good need including great views (it sits above 2 other houses but you still have good ocean views and lush forest around). There was a bottom deck with a hammock, plenty of seating and a table perfect for family games. The upper deck was great for taking in the weather or sun in mid afternoon. Inside had comfortable furniture, fans, ac, large dining table, well stocked kitchen (including basic spices, plastic wraps, coffee filters and other small things that are nice to not have to purchase while traveling). The Eldons store which has everything else you might want was about 20 min drive back toward the airport - not to far.
I would recommend a vehicle for ease on the island. No problem finding things as there is mainly only one road (just take it slow). I recommend Thrifty, they are in the airport. I originally setup with Dollar but couldn't get a person on island to confirm so I switched. I was so happy I did because nobody was at Dollar when we arrived. If you like to fish seak out Captain Clay on West End. He will do fishing, island & snorkeling trips. Originally from Louisiana He was great to deal with.
I would highly recommend Orchid Breeze it is in a great spot and the island Managers Brad/wife Ruth, who watch while the owners aren't there, attended to any ?'s / problems we had very promptly.
MANY THANKS

Great, relaxing vacation in Roatan

5 of 5
Submitted: January 28, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
My husband and I stayed at Orchid Breeze for 2 weeks with my son and his girlfriend. Roatan has by far the best reef and snorkeling I have experienced: Tahiti included. The water is clean and reef is healthy. We loved this location because it was half way between two beach towns about 15-20 minutes walking or 5 minutes by water taxi. We utilized the kayaks provided and paddled out to the reef, anchored and had wonderful snorkeling.
I loved the decor and casual comfort of the house. We love to cook on vacation and the house had everything. We were lucky that the owners were present (apt downstairs) and were very helpful and receptive to any of our needs or concerns. The house is a short walk to the beach but I would not suggest this for older people or people who have a hard time getting around. If you are in fairly good health this is the best of all worlds:set over the beach, in the trees, with 2 great big patio decks. We found the island friendly to tourists and the larger grocery stores have great selections of fresh produce and wonderful local coffee. We will be back.

Awesome Vacation

Submitted: January 12, 2013 Stayed: March 2012
We had the most awesome vacation staying at the Orchid Breeze! What's not to love about the views from the top deck and sitting out on the lower deck in the hammock reading a good book or eating our meals... not to forget the wine time. The house has everything you need for a good time.



Every morning we did our daily walks to "the Wall at West Bay" and backm enjoying watching the beach come to life. We preferred the quieter non cruise days actually and that is why we also loved the location of the house. Every afternoon at the heat of the day we took out the "floatees" and did the relaxing water watch. We also enjoyed kayaking to the reef and talking with the sailboat owners anchored close by.



We found that one of our favorite parts of staying at Orchid Breeze was how Karen and Eric prepared us for the stay and that included everything from being welcomed by Banjo at the airport along with Karen and Eric and a nice cool brewski from their cooler to the stop off for our groceries. They informed us of all the places to see and do and we found our own favorites along the way. We enjoyed both the West Bay and the West End both for eating and dancing. The little outdoor Catholic Mass at the West End was precious and our favorite West End bar, Sundowners, was quite the place to take in the locals. Another highlight was the hydroponic gardens where we met the owner and enjoyed her story.



We enoyed our 2+ weeks which seemed to fly by. The combination of both eating out and in, while making a point of experiencing all the island has to offer was great! Thanks Karen and Eric and we looking forward to going back with our family.
