Photos and Description of the Utila vacation apartment rental
Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-4)

The Gardens is now offering 4 spacious one bedroom, fully furnished, upscale apartments for those wanting more than a just room with a bed while vacationing on Utila. Each of the units is located on a paved road within a privacy fence with security lighting for your convenience. Each of these units boasts two decks, one of which is privacy partitioned. The Gardens is located just up and off of the Main Street, close enough to be “in town”, but far enough from the hustle and bustle of Main Street to allow for peace and privacy. These apartments are designed in a home style setting with all of the amenities you’d expect. Full sized refrigerators, glass panel stoves with ovens, built in overhead microwave units, stainless sinks with full time hot water, wall mounted televisions complete with cable, tiled showers with hot water and, of course, Wifi for those that need to stay connected to the world at large. These apartments are self catering with all linens, cookware, and tableware. All you need to bring with you is your clothes, groceries and a toothbrush to be right at home!

Now part of Tony and Jo’s Laguna Vista, (see VBRO listing 229936!) you can expect more than to just be pointed to your room. We strive to make your vacation as effortless as possible. Standard services include arranging pick up and return to your point of origin on the island, and provisioning and stocking prior to your arrival, if requested. Massage is available within one minute’s walk for those wishing to indulge, and yoga mats are available upon request.

For those wanting intimate privacy, we have constructed an upscale, stand alone Cottage located within the privacy fence that surround the property. This Cottage is ideal for a couple wanting to get away from it all, yet have all of the amenities needed to feel pampered and at home. Custom cabinets in the kitchen were designed with ergonomics in mind making the kitchen immanently usable. The bathroom boasts a full height shower with ceramic tile with marble inserts and a glass block divider. The pedestal sink with wall mounted mirror/vanity optimizes good usage of space and and glass block recessed into the wall provides ambient light. The Cottage has quickly become a favorite with guests of The Gardens!

For those wanting to enjoy the diving that Utila is famous for we can provide a private dive boat with personal professional Dive Masters/IDC Instructors, or special arrangements can be made with select qualified local dive shops to include you in their groups. Certification in Diving is available from Beginner all the way to Advanced using Drager™ Dolphin Rebreathers and Closed Circuit Units. Diving alternatives such as horseback riding, boating, sailing charters, 4 wheel excursions or guided nature walks are only a request away.

The Gardens has access to the best in Catch and Release Deep Sea Fishing Charters, having custom boats on call with Captains who know and fish the Bay Islands.

The Gardens may not be for everyone, but it may be just what you’re looking for!

About The Owner

We are well known on the island, having been retired here for years. We have somehow become known as 'Tony & Jo' as if it was one name! Between having properties that we rent and being involved in the community at large we still find time for our 40' sailboat, traveling to other countries, visiting our children and living the lifestyle that is Utila. We ended up in the hospitality industry by accident and have enjoyed it ever since we got our first hotel on the island. Not knowing anything at all about the service industry we simply decided to use a plan based on what WE liked about some of the places we've stayed in around the world. So far, it seems to be working rather well!

The Owner purchased this apartment in 2011
Why The Owner chose Utila

Utila is where we live and we're not going anywhere, so... when this building came on the market a mere 125 paces from our home it seemed like it was ready made for us. We purchased the building and started a light remodel immediately, including the renovation of one building into The Cottage that we designed around an intimate place that we would like to stay in!

What makes this apartment unique

The Gardens is in a very quiet setting with a 6 foot privacy fence around the entire property. Security lighting is 24 hours for the comfort of our guests and the private deck attached is just that; private. Being close to 'downtown', but not in it means the five minute walk to Main Street is just enough to keep the hustle and bustle of traffic, noise, and congestion at bay. The Gardens is not just a box with a bed in one corner, it is a home away from home!

Great Place to Stay

  • Submitted: Apr 5, 2013
  • Stayed: Dec 2012
My family and I stayed at The Gardens for 4 weeks between December 2012 & January 2013. It was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed Utila and The Gardens became our little home away from home!

My wife and I were traveling with our two children and several other families. Tony and Jo were able to accomodate our group's needs quite well. Tony & Jo make the experience. They are extremely hospitable. Both before & during our trip, they went the extra mile to see to it that we were well taken care of.

The grounds are well kept, as are the apartments. Our children had a blast exploring the grounds.

I would recommend The Gardens to friends and family. My family and I hope to return soon.

Lovely apartment, everything you need is there. Breeze at nights is incredible we didn't use the A/C at all. Definitely going back when traveling to Utila.
Owner's Response: A number of our guests from San Pedro Sula have started using The Gardens as their home-a-way from home whilst on Utila, and we are pleased to add you to that list! Thank you for joining us at The Gardens!

Excellent Easter Vacations

  • Stayed: Mar 2013
Jerico's Garden was an excellent accommodation, their apartments are fully and well-equipped, perfect for buying on the supermarket and home-cooking some meals. Up to 4 people fit right in each apartment.

It's location is just a few minutes (about 10 to 15min) from Main Street.

Tony & Jo (owners) were outstanding hosts and made our stay totally pleasurable!! We'll definitely be back sooner than we expected!

Owner's Response: One of our favorite things about The Gardens is the fully stocked kitchens that let our guests save money by cooking at home! While there is a starter kit with coffee, creamer, teas, etc., many of our guests do visit the supermarkets when they feel like having that home cooked meal that adds even more comfort to their holiday! Thanks for the kind words, and we'll be here when you return!

Turn-key apt, family friendly in Utila paradise

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: Mar 5, 2013
  • Stayed: Jan 2013
The listing for the Gardens is accurate and pictures of the location is just as it is! Beautiful and turn-key! My family and I stayed for a month at the Gardens and are regretting not staying longer. We were very pleased to be picked up from the ferry by Jo and Tony, the owners, they gave us a tour of the island and also stocked our cupboards and fridge with all our food/beverage items! We have two young girls, 3 and 5, and they adjusted well due to the homey feel of the apt. If you are looking for ease of booking (Jo or Tony will email you within several hours of you making contact!), help with setting up excursions, like fishing, boating, island hopping, or scuba diving, and a VERY CLEAN, COMFORTABLE apt with great wi-fi, cable tv, hot water and air conditioning ( which we only used twice at the end of the trip, because the breezes keep you cool).....then look no further .... The Gardens have everything you need! We made long lasting friends while in Utila, Jo and Tony are truly excellent and thoughtful hosts and are missed by our little girls, and our hearts ache to go back! WE will rent at The Gardens next year for two months instead of one!

Owner's Response: We are so very pleased that you found The Gardens to your liking, and that you'll be joining us again next year! The Gardens is family friendly and the privacy fence that surrounds the property is ideal for little ones to be able to play outside, read and draw on the picnic table, and just generally scamper about without parents having to worry about traffic or them wandering off. Our gardener, Juan, is very protective of the children we have at The Gardens, being a father of little ones himself, and keeps a keen eye out for them. (and our access to bona fide babysitters is great when you want a night out alone!). We thank you for you kind words, and look forward to you joining the ranks of our yearly visitors!
