The location is perfect. Just off the main "tourist beach" on the West end. Nice beach area just in front of the house, with private pool, hammock, and beach chairs. Plenty of restaurants, shopping and convenient mini mart just a short walk down the beach. Wonderful crew to work with booking, transportation and on site assistance!! Will definitely go back. The water is gorgeous and clear!!

Villa Ocean Reef is in a great location, within walking distance to West Bay Beach and a quick water taxi ride to West End. The plunge pool is refreshing after a day of snorkeling on the reef just in front of the condo. Jensen was an asset to get us to the South Shore Zip Line, Iguana Farm, La Sirena, and mangrove tour to name a few! We even saw the green flash at sunset from the deck of the pool....awesome! Loved the lemon pepper fish and coconut shrimp at Beacher's, monkey la-las at Bananarama, and cold Salva Vida (3 for $5) on the beach. Swimming with the dolphins at Anthony's Key Resort was a real treat! You must buy fresh fish and cook it on the gas grill.....delicious and so inexpensive! This vacation rental was perfect for our family of four!!

I just returned from a nine (9) day stay at Villa Ocean Reef in West Bay on Roatan, Honduras. It was one of our best trips to the island in eight years. The property was accurately described, well maintained, very comfortable and relaxing. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything you’d need. The unit had more than ample linens for your stay. The entire process from booking to check out was easy and the staff super friendly and helpful throughout our stay. We felt safe and secure the entire time. The unit was literally steps from the water and very convenient to restaurants, snorkeling and attractions along West Bay. Next door is Las Rocas Resort, which has a dive shop, restaurant and great happy hour and The Bite on the Beach which has good food and amazing sunsets. The property is located on the quiet end of West Bay which made for a calm and relaxing stay even on cruise ship days and the weekend when it tends to be very busy. My party consisted of three (3) ladies on a girlfriend getaway and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Our family of four found the experience to be good to excellent. Our expectations were met and the property was as described. Linda was very helpful throughout. The weather and ocean were beautiful and the local staff were great. We would recommend this for a family vacation, but perhaps it would be quieter at a time other than Easter. The two weeks around Easter are a popular vacation time for the people of Honduras, so the island is busier than usual.

As advertised. Great location with great views. Close to restaurants. Airport pick-up and return was prompt. Staff made sure everything was ok. Would stay here again and would recommend it to others. You get exactly what is promised.

Hidden behind a coral outcrop, yet directly on the beach just a few feet from the water, this is in our opinion the very best spot of the entire West Bay Beach: quiet and private while only steps from restaurants and dive shops etc. The apartment itself is exactly as described and was perfect for our family of 4 adults. Except for one screen door, everything was in good working order. There was plenty of filtered water.
Booking the apartment was easy and uncomplicated. Linda Kay and Kevin were really pleasant to deal with - in fact, they made the whole transaction feel like a visit with friends. Linda provided all the information we needed, immediately responded to all questions and offered many tips and useful insights. Kevin was at the apartment to welcome us when we arrived (by a taxi he had arranged) and to check whether we had everything we needed, then stopped by a couple of times again to make sure we were fine and to give us some "insider scoop" of the island.
Tullio, the guard/caretaker, cleaned the grounds every day, swept the sand from the deck, and put a basin with fresh water by the stairs to wash the sand from the feet before entering. There is also an outdoor shower.
One of the three dive shops Linda had recommended was Mayan Divers (a few minutes from the house), managed by Anja from Germany and her husband Liber from Cuba. One of us took a diving course (with Rick who is great) and then did several additional dives with them; they are very safety-conscious and professional and they have small groups (no cruise ship crowd!).
We did not rent a car and felt no need to.
As for restaurants, we found all quite OK but none outstanding. Fosters has lobster tails; Bite on the Beach is worth a visit at night just to watch the huge moray eels come out from the coral rocks beneath the restaurant.
We had a totally relaxing vacation and definitely plan to come again. We can recommend this property without reservation.

I loved the location of this house. It is located just around the bend from the restaurants, bars and resorts on the beach. So it's a quiet oasis but a five-minute walk to all of these hot spots. The house had everything we needed and we loved the deck that faces the water. The staff was helpful and nice.
