About this house rental
This 3,600 sq/ft house sits on the edge of the Port Royal National Park on the historic pirate enclave of Buccaneer Hill.
This house is ideal for those adventurous travelers seeking to get away from it all. The property is very secluded with no neighbors, but with easy access via a road that borders the national park.
We can arrange for a boat.
World class snorkeling and diving can be found around the bay.
In front of the house is some excellent flat fishing for bonefish, permit, tarpon and snook. Off shore there are other game fish like tuna, wahoo, sailfish and marlin.
There are two stand up paddle boards available. You can paddle these around the bay and into channels through mangroves (or to snorkeling spots).
Or you can just sit back and read a book and enjoy a beautiful serene sunset.
We recommend renting a 4x4 from Econo across from the Airport.

We had a great time in this remote house in Roatan. View and huge deck is absolutely wonderful and unique. We were 4 adults and 2 babies (7 months and 2 years old) and stayed there on the first week of april.
Comments for other renters…
Kitchen
Kitchen is basic but ok. There is a little charcoal BBQ. There is a fridge and freezer.
Rooms
The master bedroom has a king bed and is ok. Second room is in the basement and we found it quite hot, far from the bathrooms and . We moved the bed to the spacious living room upstairs. There is beds for 4(2 beds) and 1 couch that can sleep one. All the rooms are rustic and open to the exterior (with screens). Mosquitoes weren’t an issue. Air was hot, but ok when windy(most of the time). When the wind stopped, it was simply unbearable for our cold blood(More than 30 C all night!)…we decided to rent an A/C equipped room in the west end for the last night.
Road
This is the main issue with this property. The private road to the house is awful and lacks maintenance with 1 foot deep crevasses in some sections and steep hills. You absolutely need a sturdy 4x4 (We had a good pick up truck rented at Avis for 55 USD a day tx in). A car cannot make it up there (We tried). The 2.5 km takes about 15 mins of a duneboggey ride (Some tourists pay for that, you won’t have to!). After you get used to it, the views from the road are breathtaking even if the drive is a challenge. Hiking to camp bay takes 20-25 mins. Driving takes 20.
Water and utilities
Water system in the house relies on rainwater with a big tank under the house. Working in water, I tested the water for coliforms and it tested positive…just don’t drink it. We were supplied with drinking bottled water in sufficient quantities. There is more available for 3$ at La sirena bar at camp bay. Solar panel supply electricity. There are many outlets around the house. No internet but cellphone tower near the house. We didn’t use it. No phone either.
Access to Port Royal bay
There is an abandoned dock about 300-400 m from the house. (5 mins hike down). No sand beach there but beautiful bay to swim. We kite surfed from there on south-east winds. Beaches on the north side in camp bay are simply beautiful.
Food
There is a grocery store in French Harbour (45 mins drive). La Sirena restaurant’s setting over water is unique. You can also eat/have a coffee/beer at camp bay lodge recently renovated.
