Half Moon Bay House is the nicest and most luxurious villa available for rent in West End. Beautifully furnished and decorated, you can rent all or part of it.
Yes, you can have it all! Located in Coral Vistas, directly on the beach on Half Moon Bay, this house has amazing wraparound ocean views in every direction, is quiet and private, yet just a block from the center of town.
This is a brand new luxury villa, with central AC, backup generator, granite countertops, hardwood cabinets, hardwood and tile floors and trim, Egyptian cotton sheets, and many other amenities--see the complete list of features below. With 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, gourmet kitchen, eating bar, living and dining rooms, spacious shaded veranda with outdoor living and dining areas and infinity pool; you can truly make this your place in paradise.
With this central beachfront location you do not need to rent a car, though you easily can. Our rates include air conditioning, sea kayaks, cell phone, airport meeting, and weekly cleaning, so it’s a great value.
There are one king and two queen bedroom suites, each with ocean view, balcony, and full bath. The fourth bedroom has a twin and queen beds, ocean view and balcony, and is next to the fourth bathroom. The house can be rented as a 4BR house, or two of the bedrooms can be locked out making it a 2BR house, or you can rent just a lockout bedroom or two. There is also an optional inflatabed, so the house can sleep 10 people if necessary.
Two of the best restaurants in town and a boat dock are just steps away. Walk a block to the main street and you are in the center of town, with a taxi stand, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, dive shops, and gift shops right there. Maid service and a cook are available--just let us know what you need. We love Roatan, and this home, and can answer any questions you have.
Note: The calendar shows unavailable only if all five of the Coral Vistas Villas are booked, so there is usually availability. These are all virtually identical oceanfront 4BR/4BA villas with pools. Call or email to find out if the Half Moon Bay House is available for your dates.

Why the Owner Chose West End
Hi I'm Johann Robbins. My wife Alice and I own the Half Moon Bay house with our friends Todd and Maura Demko. Alice and I live in Boulder, Colorado, and travel to Roatan whenever we can get away, usually several times a year. We have travelled and dove all over Mexico and Central America and wanted a place we could return to again and again. Alice and I had bought a lot to build on in Caye Caulker, Belize, but soon after on our first trip to Roatan we found this villa, and we knew it was what we were looking for. Actually Todd dragged us over to it, i thought it was way too expensive for us to look at, but we sold the lot and this is our vacation home now. Roatan and especially West End are still laid back, friendly and a nice kind of funky, and as we enjoy places that are not yet like everywhere else, it is perfect for us. And the diving is fantastic, really varied and fun (and not too expensive) so we can dive a lot.
The Unique Benefits at this Luxury House
What we love most is being surrounded by water (if the house were any closer it would be a boat) yet so close to everything. Sitting outside is so sweet: the picture postcard turquoise water, the fragrant flowers and sea, the happy sounds of birds and small waves. We love having two good restaurants next door, they are like family, and the variety of other places we can walk to. We almost never rent a car when we are there, just hang out, dive, kayak, snorkel, sit by the pool and watch the clouds or the sunset over the bay. It is very easy to stay there, we can get everything we need within a block or two, or have the manager stock the fridge and larder before we come, which they will do for you too.
Owner's Map of West End
If you look at the map below it doesn't show much, so click on the satellite button. In the center of the photo you can see the roofs of the five Coral Vistas villas, ours is the one on the right, next to the beach. The cluster of buildings to the right and along the water is West End Village. The water is so clear you can almost see the fish on the reef!

If you are wondering about the one negative comment, it dates back to March of 2007, a few weeks before we got the backup generator. A guest was understandably upset that they didn't have power during a week when there were several major outages, but they used inappropriate language to express it. The power has been fine since then; there are fewer and fewer outages, and the generator works seamlessly when it goes out.
