About this house rental

Located in Bay Islands Department, this charming house for $325 per night is a great option for your next trip. Life doesn’t get any better than experiencing the breathtaking views and turquoise waters of Roatan at The Pink Orchid! This fully equipped home is located in the cozy community of Orchid Beach Village midway between West End and West Bay Beach. With views in every direction both inside and out, the home overlooks the largest coral reef in the northern hemisphere, making this location a snorkeling, kayaking and diver's paradise! Facing westward, its one of the limited spots on the island where guests can enjoy full panoramic sunsets while taking in spectacular ocean vistas from the wrap-around decks. And you can enjoy the views under the shade of a full canopy of trees, something hard to find but so delightful.....or enjoy our sundeck with four lounge chairs if you want to get some rays. Each of the three bedrooms has their own dedicated bathroom, ideal for families or couples traveling together yet desiring privacy. The kitchen is newly remodeled with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It is equipped with a French door stainless refrigerator, five-burner gas stove & oven, microwave, coffee maker and grinder, Cuisinart food processor, InstaPot, toaster, waffle maker, Cuisinart ice cream maker and electric mixer for all your cooking needs. The full service for fifteen of Dansk Caribe dishes and many accompanying cookware and utensils make this the perfect place for entertaining. If the preference is to have someone do the cooking during your stay, a local cook can come and prepare some or all of the meals to your liking. The living area is open and inviting with a large couch, two oversized chairs and a chair with ottoman, a dining area that seats six and a breakfast bar that seats four more. From its traditional Caribbean hardwood and tiled floors to its vaulted ceilings and expansive windows, you can enjoy island living at its best. This private home is located between and within walking distance of two popular island destinations: West End and West Bay Beach. If you are looking for fun nightlife, both offer a variety of restaurant eateries, local shops and beach activities. Guests can walk to both attractions or easily catch a water taxi from our dock for a quick 5-minute ride. There are also five elegant beachfront restaurants and one beach bar and grill, all located just minutes from the house offering island cuisine in our backyard.(Luna Muna at Ibagari, The Lotus at Xbalanque, and Sea Salt Bistro, Azul at the Blue Roatan Resort, Bar Luna at the Luna Beach Resort, and The Boat Bar and Grill). Situated on a bluff overlooking the water, guests will find amazing snorkeling and kayaking opportunities just steps from the house. The Pink Orchid has two new 2-seater kayaks available for your use and we are 300 yards from the world's second largest reef - the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Our property managers can arrange snorkeling, fishing and diving adventures per your interests. We work with a local dive operator that picks up and drops off right at the dock and they offer a 10% discount to guests from The Pink Orchid. If you are interested in local fruits, ask our gardener/maintenance man to bring you fresh coconuts, bananas, limes, or mangoes when in season – delicious! And for those rainy periods or quiet evenings at home, there are a plethora of board games and a full video library available for your use. The Pink Orchid is unique with the privacy it affords, surrounded by a large garden lining the ocean on one side and lush tropical trees and flowers that line the creek on the other side. After a day of hustle and bustle, its always a treat to return to this quiet getaway surrounded by a private garden on one side, a natural creek on the other, and an ocean of tranquil waters -- to enjoy the ultimate in privacy and relaxation.

Beautiful home in a perfect location! This property was exactly as described in the listing. The owner and property management communicated wonderfully around the property and activities of interest in the area. The view from the deck makes it completely worth the trip! We spent many hours just soaking it in, with the joy of seeing the pair of Macaws fly over several times, watching both iguanas and geckos, so many hummingbirds, and the capybaras. We enjoyed the restaurants within walking distance and had Blackie cook for us one evening. We all agreed that was our highlight meal! The kitchen contains anything you could need to cook at the house, the internet and air-conditioning worked well. Several of us had to continue to check in with work while on island and had no issues with video calls. The house is beautifully equipped. The information book was very helpful, the pre-travel emails, as were the previous guest notes. We had a few minor hiccups, but the staff was quick and responsive to help us out. The location is perfect to enjoy both West Bay and West End. We enjoyed the Rum Factory, Brewery, and Chocolate factory. Spending a day snorkeling at West Bay, and a day enjoying the local feel to West End, an island tour including a boat ride through the mangroves and a visit to the sloth sanctuary. We enjoyed many hours on the dock, floating, snorkeling, enjoying the reef right there and kayaking out to the reef. With very active kids, we were never bored!

Beautiful place. Great location. Easy access to West End and West Bay. Lots of great dive shops very close, and the one we selected was able to pick us up right from the dock of the property. Wonderful hosts who were easy to communicate with. 5 stars

This place is incredible. We loved being up in the trees with the macaws and lizards but also right on the beautiful water. Our group did diving trips every day in the morning and floated and snorkeled off the dock in the afternoons. Blue Moon diving (Las Rocas) picked us up from our dock! The house and everything in it was very comfortable and worked well. We walked to great restaurants down the beach and took water taxis to West End. Had lots of great meals! We rented a car and enjoyed the adventure of driving on the island. One of the on-land highlights was visiting Daniel Johnson’s Monkey & Sloth hangout. We hope we will be come back some day and do it all again. Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us!

The Pink Orchid is well stocked and has everything you need to enjoy Roatan. Al and Pam are terrific hosts. We enjoyed sunsets on the deck most every evening. The vegetation around the property added interest and privacy. The bedrooms did not share common walls with each other, so that offered a lot of privacy as well. IOt was perfect for our group of 5. Marty picked us up from the airport and stopped by the grocery store on the way in. (Highly recommend you do that too). Blackie cooked for us two evenings; we bought fresh fish, shrimp, and lobster from the guy who comes to the house; and Juan Carlos opened fresh coconuts for us to enjoy one day. Juan also helped us with a third kayak that we needed for our group. The snorkeling and diving were fantastic. It's easy to catch a water taxi right from the pier. The kitchen was very well stocked. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We stayed as two couples at the Oink Orchid in early June. The location of the property is great as its exactly half way between West End and West Bay. We walked to West Bay quite a few times during our stay and twice to West End. Snorkeling off the dock was actually really good as well. The house was clean and very well stock and the a/c worked great as well. You'll be amazed by the view off the rear deck as you enjoy your morning coffee or a cocktail in the evening. AL is a great host with good communication too. Would highly recommend you staying here during your island vacation.

Our two families stayed at the pink orchid for 5 nights, but we wish it had been longer. We loved turtle beach, the kayaks the owners let us use, the kitchen, the deck, the hammock, proximity to clearwater adventures diving, and the backup power system which kept our food and drinks cold even though the island had no power. Did i mention the views?? Just incredible! We loved it here. Better than any 5-star hotel.
