Grand Oceanfront Home With Private Spa, Spacious Living Areas, Stunning Views
About this house rental
Watch the sun rise and frigates soar over the sea from your wrap-around porch, coffee in hand. Snorkel with tropical fish off the island's most beautifully designed private dock, or practice morning yoga under pink and orange clouds. In the lull of the afternoon, spend a blissful hour in the world's largest flotation tank, Float Utila, now exclusively for Cay House guests. In the evening, make dinner in your spacious and bright kitchen with panoramic windows overlooking the sparkling sea. Enjoy a cocktail and watch the sun sink below the horizon from the porch hammocks, and fall asleep to the sound of lapping water in a king-sized bed suspended from the ceiling. Easy walking distance to every dive shop, restaurant, and attraction in town, yet removed from the busy road, the Cay House is on its very own private island/cay connected to the world by a drawbridge. Artistically renovated from the ground up by Scandinavian carpenter John, the Cay House is perfectly located for the best sunrises, sunsets, and views of the mainland's stunning Pico Bonito Mountain Range.

The owner and manager were both super responsive and the property matched the description. The house is just a few blocks from the ferry so it’s in a great location. The tuk tuk taxis were about $5 for everywhere we went . We didn’t see a need to rent a golf cart since the house was so close to everything. Our fishing and snorkeling guides were able to pick us up at the house’s dock so that made it so easy. I highly recommend Mango Tango and Che Pancho for dinner. Coral Bay resort has outstanding snorkeling that’s only 3-4 minutes from the house . Check out Fly Fish Utila for an outstanding fishing trip for bonefish, tarpon and permit. We loved Utila and this house . The only small complaint i had was that the kitchen didn’t have AC. There wasn’t much of a breeze during our trip so the kitchen was hot. Other than that i give it 5 stars

We had a great time on our visit. Half the group were divers but the other half enjoyed being in the heart of town. The house is very clean and well maintained. The balconies and dock provide amazing views of the bay. The seemingly secret entrance to the house gave us plenty of privacy to keep the front and back doors wide open all day (fantastic breeze btw).
There were myriad books for adults and kids alike and even a little play kitchen for our 2 yr-old to use.
The sensory deprivation tank was a nice treat / add-on. It's not something any of us would have tried otherwise.
JJ, property manager, was very responsive leading up to our stay and during our stay.
My two little nitpicky comments would be:
1. I think the bridge/dock leading to the house from main street could use some landscape lighting or at least some weak solar lamps illuminating the path at night - otherwise it's pitch black.
2. The 30 kWh allowance per day is certainly not enough for a full house (I have to believe the sensory deprivation tank power has to be a factor here). We (8 adults) were conscientious about our electrical usage and ended up about 10 kWh over per day. But at basically $0.50 per kWh, it's not a big deal.
I would highly recommend staying at the Cay House when visiting Utila!

After spending almost a week in Roatan (at a beautiful house with a pool but not much within walking distance), this was a welcome change of scenery, vibe, and cost! Everything is walking distance in Utila, you can get a great meal for under $10 and there is no shortage of things to do. Property mgmt was there to greet us when we arrived and were great at providing recommendations - even made us our dinner reso at Mango Tango, which is a must! By far the best meal of our entire vacation.
The hanging bed and view from the primary bedroom is something else. We loved our stay at Cay House and would definitely go back.

super cool to have your own private float tank! The most awesome view of the bay and the dock was priceless!
5.0
Location is central, neat interesting house. AC works well in the bedrooms. Very thoughtfully laid out with nice details for us like having pitchers of filtered water in each bathroom. Nice big porch out back overlooking its own private dock. Great spot to sip coffee in the morning and watch the boats go by.. the kitchen has good cookware and utensils. Bed in master hangs from the ceiling on ropes and the swing in the living room was fun. Only drawback is the dive hotel bar two doors down over the water plays VERY loud music most nights well after 2:00 am. If you don’t need much sleep, everything else is really great.

The only issue was the fact that there was no working oven or microwave. We had planned on eating in for several meals which was hard to do with only a stove top . The rest of the stay was great

Beautiful home on fun island.
Gorgeous home! Open, light, and airy. Very clean. Property manager met us at the ferry. Only minor complaint was that some of the towels pilled and when you dried with them, they left little towel pills all over you. Also AC didn’t work in one room but it turned out to be due to a tripped fuse. Light didn’t work in one room. Other than that, wonderful stay! I would definitely rent again.

Beautiful house, in a great location if you want to stay in the town. Everything is almost walkable
Great home, right on the ocean. Has an isolation tank which was a really nice touch. Power went out one night, so we wish they had a backup generator. Probably the nicest house in the town. Property manager was excellent & attended to all needs.

Dream boat house on the water!
Our group of 6 friends LOVED the Cay House! Jumping off the private deck into the water after yoga in the great room was pure heaven. The rooms are spacious and well-furnished. Lots of books and games if you need.
We loved swinging in the hammocks and watching the dive boats go by.
We dived with Captain Morgans dive shop next door and they took good care of us. Recommended.
Mango Tangos had the best food other than Neptunes Island.
We will return!

Property was even prettier in person!! Very clean, comfortable and accommodating for a large group!
Property owners and mangers were wonderful to book with, answered all my questions about the home and island and helped us make contact with the services and people we wanted to meet on the island on arrival! The island is gorgeous, very nice people and we experienced the best diving and snorkeling ever!! I would highly recommend paradise divers for all your dive and snorkeling needs! Joshua and his team take good care of you and their prices are fantastic! We had all of our own dive and snorkel gear! I would skip renting a golf cart, save your money as you can walk or take a Tuk, Tuk anywhere and it’s so much more fun!! The house had all of the amenities that our group of 8 needed! We had a fun time snorkeling right off the dock!! Cheapest drinks were at Utila Lodge, just up from the house and their lunch specials were so good too! You must also go to Neptune beach!! Loved it all and can’t wait to visit again!!

Amazing home in a fantastic location
This is the best home on the island. It is right in the middle of everything Utila has to offer. We came to Utila with our 3 adult children and 80 year-old mother for the Christmas/New Years holiday and it was absolutely perfect. The room on the main level was ideal for my mother, while giving our 3 children their own rooms upstairs. My husband and I took the master suite upstairs with the hanging bed, and let me tell you, it was amazing. The float tank was icing on the cake. We each used it several times and loved it. Not only was the house clean and comfortable with stunning views, it truly is the best home on the island. Utila is a hidden gem. People are so friendly, honest and very helpful. The golf cart that we rented was perfect to get around to the other side of the island. Tina and JJ, the property managers, were always available if we needed them, and gave us great recommendations for restaurants, grocery shopping, and just about everything you can think of. They even had our golf cart ready at the house for us upon arrival. The booking process was simple and Amanda (the home owner) was always quick to answer our questions during the booking process. This truly was an amazing home and we will most definitely return. Thank you so much for the memories!

Everything we expected and more!
I came with a group of 6 and we had a fabulous time at the Cay House. All communications before and during our stay were timely and super helpful. JJ even helped us get back to Roatan kind of last minute since the Ferry wasn't running the day of our departure. We enjoyed a lot of hammock time on the deck as well as the float tank. We definitely weren't ready to leave and look forward to coming back!

Great location. We were able to walk next door to Captain Morgans dive shop each morning as well as easily get wherever we wanted to go. Note, Captain Morgans had a great breakfast. The house is very comfortable and spacious. We thoroughly enjoyed evenings on the back deck with a glass of wine and the cross breeze. Spectacular view of the ocean.
Tina and JJ were fantastic. From providing information and connections before we arrived to meeting us at the airport to helping us navigate a last minute change in getting off the island, they made themselves available for whatever we needed.
Thank you for sharing your house with us.

Perfect Holiday
We rented this amazing house with 5 friends to celebrate a milestone birthday. The location is PERFECT, you can walk to everything. Some nights the dive shops next door can get a little loud with their parties but nothing we couldn't live with. Swimming off the dock, having coffee on the porch while watching the sun come up. The kitchen was wonderful and you can find most items you'll need at the local grocery stores. 5 beautiful bedrooms. I must admit the hanging bed in the master bedroom was hard to adjust to (I was sick upon arrival) but by the end I really enjoyed it. When we return, This is where we will rent this again, can't imagine staying anywhere else. It was the most relaxing week I've had in a very long time. Highly recommend!!!

8 of us stayed the last week at the Yellow Cay house. Beautiful home with amazing water views from every room. Lovely breezes that flow throughout the home. We spent most of our time on the porch and decks. Loved the flotation room and rain shower downstairs. This home is close to everything but just far enough over the water to not hear much traffic off the main road. We rented golf carts and toured the whole island. We were able to park them right on the back deck of the home. The only thing I wished was there were a couple of throw blankets for the beds. We would definitely return again. JJ and Tina were most helpful as well our entire stay. So fun to see another Okie couple in paradise.

Amanda, the owner, got right back to us about any questions we had. We were met at the airport by the property managers, JJ and Tina. They were great about saying that we could contact them night or day if we needed them. We had no issues just a wonderful time.

Best Vacation EVER!
We spent a week here with another family and enjoyed all the house has to offer. It's gorgeous and well appointed, and works great for two families. The location cannot be beat, very central to everything but feels secluded. Swimming off the dock is a dream, and reading in the hammocks made every afternoon feel like a real vacation. Highly recommended.

Best House in Utila
This house was perfect for our group of ten adults. Even with ten of us we never felt crowded. The location on the water in the middle of town was great and made walking to all of the local restaurants and bars easy. Eight of us dove with Utila Water Sports, and they picked us up at our dock every day. It was really nice not to have to haul all of our gear to the dive shop. The porch with its hammocks and chairs was perfect for lazy afternoons after a morning of diving. Amanda was really easy to work with when setting up the reservation. The property managers, Tina and JJ, took care of anything we needed while at the house, including having beer, soda, and ice delivered at our request. If we get a chance to return to Utila, we will definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house with great location in Utila. I recently rented this house for a month and had a wonderful time. Everyone that came to stay loved the house and had a wonderful time hanging on the porch and dock. The Owner, Amanda, is great to deal with and made sure our stay was enjoyable. I would definitely rent this house again.
