Just got back from our trip to Roatan and absolutely fell in love. We stayed in West End for a bit and then moved over to the Jolly Octopus. The two areas are totally different but gave us a chance to experience a bit more of the culture in Sandy Bay. The place is pictured exactly like the description. The owner, Conrad was very attentive with his communication and knowledge. The property manager Dwyane was very personable and helpful as he helped us with transportation and any needs we encountered. We enjoyed the coffee shop near by within walking distance and the SunkenFish and Blue Bahia had some of the most amazing foods. There is quite a bit of sea grass in the area which makes lounging in the water less desirable, but if you can make it out to the reef we saw several dive/snorkel boats stop on the reef in front of the property. Definitely a unique and fun experience, I would probably rent a car next time. We gave the place a 5/5 start because of it's charm, cleanliness and property manager Dwyane.

We had a great time at the Jolly and will be returning very soon. Jolly is nestled beachfront on the quiet area of sandy bay yet still close enough to the hustle and bustle of West Bay / End if you want to get over that way. If you are looking for a swimming beach this is not it, however if your looking for amazing snorkeling right out the front porch like we were, this is a great spot. The reef and several great spots are within swimming/paddling distance and offer endless opportunity to view the amazing the marine life. This house was perfectly suited for our needs and had a great roof top deck that we spent every evening up on. Being able to open the Bali doors in the morning and have breakfast was a great experience as well. I would not hesitate to return to this property and would recommend anyone looking for a great time to book it as well.

We loved our stay here. The owner, Conrad facilitated our pick up from the airport and we were taken to the market to purchase groceries and anything we may have wanted to cook or eat while staying there. Upon arrival we met with the property manager Dywne, who was very welcoming and was very accommodating and available throughout the whole time we were there if we needed anything. The house is very clean and spacious and even has a canoe and paddle board available for you to use while you are staying there. The Jolly Octopus is located in a more remote area of Sandy Bay and at first I was a little hesitant but actually ended up loving it since it was away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas and yet was close enough to get to West End where all the restaurants and bars are located. I will suggest renting a car as soon as you arrive at the airport because if you are like us and enjoy exploring the island and being able to come and go as you please then you definitely need a means of transportation. Accessing a taxi is not very easy from here we are located. The roads are currently under construction so just be careful with pot holes but it seems to be coming along quickly so I am sure once they are completed it will be much easier to commute. The view at the Jolly Octopus is amazing. We loved sitting on the porch and just looking out towards the ocean and it also has a beautiful upstairs deck area with a phenomenal view. to watch the beautiful sunsets. The mornings were heavenly to be able to open the sliding wood doors and have breakfast on the porch area. Bring mosquito repellent because there are lots of mosquitos and the porch is not screened in but it was bearable. I highly recommend staying here and we plan on returning. This has been one of our top two trips and places to stay thus far.. Thank you to Conrad and Dwyne for making our stay wonderful.

This property is located right on the sea. The sunsets are beautiful. Very quiet beach no tourist or vendors, the upper deck is a sunbathers paradise! Extremely clean and the Jolly includes most every household necessity you need. Dwight is an excellent property manager and can always be reached. I highly recommend!
