Casa Mariposa – The Butterfly House
For a true piece of island style life, Casa Mariposa offers a group of friends or family that once in a lifetime vacation home at extraordinary prices.
Situated in the ex pat community of First Bight a mere 25 minutes from Roatan’s International Airport and just about mid island, Casa Mariposa has everything that you’ll need for an idyllic island vacation.
Built from local lumber in a traditional island style, it has all the comforts of home with that Caribbean twist. It sits in landscaped tropical gardens full of colorful Hibiscus and Bougainvillea and with partial views of the Ocean.
You’ll find a well planned and beautifully equipped Living and Full Kitchen area on the first floor along with 2 Queen Bedrooms and family bathroom. Double doors lead to the expansive deck for ‘al fresco’ dining or a shady spot to watch the humming birds and kick back with an evening cocktail.
On the Upper Floor is the Master Bedroom with 2 Queen size beds and private shower room with access across the ‘floating walkway’ to the private furnished deck with Hammocks and locally crafted Mahogany loungers.
The ground floor area house the ‘bodega’ which contains your Gas Grill, Washing Machine and Dryer along with the Kayaks which we know you will enjoy.
There is a TV with local Cable TV service whose package includes some US channels and a local cell phone for use during your stay just in case you should need to contact our Property Managers (who live within 10 minutes of the house) for any information or assistance.
Internet access is available for a minimal fee and will be ready for your arrival.
Just steps away are the crystal clear azure waters of the Caribbean with the best snorkeling and shore diving practically on your doorstep – there are at least 4 dive shops within easy reach of the house and the area is well known for offering some of the best dive sites on the island.
Interested in Golf? The Black Pearl Golf Course is an easy 15 minute drive from the house and our Property Managers can pre book Tee times prior to your arrival. Prices include Club, Cart and Caddy too!
Why not try the most radical and extreme Zipline on the island – Pirates of the Caribbean is a little more than 5 minutes away and will allow you to see the island whilst swaying through the Canopy!
Come and be our guests for a while – we think you’ll be impressed!

Casa Mariposa was the perfect house for our group of six. There was plenty of room to enjoy the beautiful weather from the decks - both upstairs and down. We had the chance to use the hammocks, do some group yoga together on the top floor, and grill out with the stove. Both hummingbirds and fruit bats visited us each day and night, respectively, because we kept a fresh supply of sugar water going and maintained it each day. A hummingbird even landed on my finger after a patient wait right in front of the deck door! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and were able to clean our clothes in the washer. The snorkeling was also amazing and so readily accessible! In no more than a two minute walk we were able to throw some fins and a mask on and see some incredible fish - lionfish, sharksucker, four-eyed angelfish, trumpetfish, and blue tangs are just a few of the dozens of fish we were able to identify. Thank you for the wonderful experience and attention. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Butterfly House to a friend or anyone looking for a great place to stay in Roatan! Gina Zubert

My husband and I just returned from our week long stay at Casa Mariposa and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The house is set back on a private road and the driveway is lined with beautiful trees, flowers and plants..very inviting! The home was exceptionally clean and we enjoy cooking so we especially liked that the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cooking utensils, pots, pans etc. There is plenty of living space both inside and outside. There always seemed to be a nice breeze so we rarely needed the A/C. We enjoyed the privacy of the little beach right across the road where we snorkled and sun bathed daily as well as watching glorious sun sets. The coral reef was amazing and we even saw a spotted eagle ray while snorkeling. The owners have also supplied kayaks for their guests and we traveled around the "bite" exploring the sights with them. There is a little dock down the road that gave us easy access to both kayaking and snorkeling. We used the upper decks for our daily excercise and for those who like to jog, the road to the main street was a great work out with it's hills and valleys! We would highly recommend this property for those who want to get away from the "rat race".

On behalf of the Clarion SCUBA Club, I would like to personally say that our stay at Casa Mariposa was fantastic! In total there was 7 of us and we all fit perfectly in the house. It was never cramped, over crowded, or too hot. We made use of the AC during the day, but at night the sea breeze was just right. SCUBA diving twice a day, sometimes three times a day, was extremely affordable through Paradise Island diving, not more than 10 minutes away, and snorkeling around our beach was magnificent! We are going to plan a yearly trip and continue to stay with Casa Mariposa. The diving was wonderful and we even had a student complete her certification on the island. Eating meals at home and out around town were all affordable and delicious, the local cuisine has something for everybody. Thank you so much for opening your doors for our club and we had a great stay!
