About this property

Seaside Inn: Gecko Bungalow- Private Pool! West Bay Beach!!!

Bungalow, Kitchen, Bath, Dining and Living area, Private Patio, Close To Beach!!

Seaside Inn is located on a fairly-level sandy lane within a two minute walking distance from the shore. The location is awesome! We’re nestled in the jungle away from all the bustle of the beach but close enough to enjoy the restaurants, bars and activities West Bay has to offer.

We have a beautiful private pool! Our guests can lounge around our pool for a lazy vacation day or enjoy a nice evening cocktail after a hard day of playing on the island. Our pool is not open to the public – it is for Seaside Inn’s private use :).

A delicious breakfast will be served 6 days a week. We have a wonderful daily special gourmet choice, along with a second hearty choice of potatoes/eggs/ham or bacon/toast or a lighter option: yogurt parfait with homemade granola layered with non-fat vanilla yogurt, topped with fresh fruit. There are also “Grab & Go” choices such as bagel and cream cheese.

Unlike the mega resorts, we are a small private resort which provides our guests with a calm, quiet retreat away from the crowds. We cater to our guests and strive to provide a wonderful stay on this incredible island.

We have 5 rental units available at this time. The Gecko is a detached 1 bedroom bungalow with a full kitchen, living area, bedroom and bath - VRBO Listing #564852 – and the Toucan and Macaw are studio suites - VRBO Listings #564850/564851 - each with kitchenettes and a private tiled bath.The Seahorse is our smallest studio suite, ideal for the economically minded travelers, with a queen bed, kitchenette and a tiled bathroom with walk-in shower - VRBO listing #762493. All units have private entrances. Rent one, two, three or four units to accommodate up to 12 adults. For more than one unit, please visit VRBO listing #600543. Please visit the individual VRBO listing #'s to see the rates for individual units and more detailed pictures of each accommodation.

This listing is for the Gecko bungalow. The Gecko is a stand-alone private bungalow with one bedroom, one bath and separate living area. The living area as a sofa with a queen pull-out bed. There is a full-sized kitchen that has a two-burner stovetop, coffee maker, microwave, blender, toaster, sink and a refrigerator. It has all the pots, pans, dishware and utensils you’ll need for preparing delicious meals. The bathroom is beautifully tiled with a walk-in shower. The living and dining area has a comfy loveseat, chair and ottoman, a dining room table with 4 chairs, modern split, quiet, air conditioning, two ceiling fans, where you can kick back and watch cable TV, DVD or just enjoy a quiet read. The bedroom has a queen pillow-top bed; built-in clothes storage and also has modern split, quiet, air conditioning and a ceiling fan.

The Gecko has a private covered porch, with chairs and a view of the jungle where you can enjoy the morning with fresh brewed coffee.

• 2 beach towels

There is a washer and dryer for guest use (you can keep your luggage to a minimum :) conveniently located on the guest balcony along with a small freezer stocked with cubed ice. Our rates include cable TV (over 100 channels) and free WIFI. All towels and linens are provided. We also have an automatic standby generator to handle any power outage - so don't worry, your air conditioning will stay running all night, you'll always have hot water and feel the cool breeze of your ceiling fan!

Beacher's restaurant and Argentinian Grill provide our guests free beach lounge chairs! You never have to worry about trying to find a beach chair or paying for one to rent!

If you’re a diver, there are plenty of dive centers located on the beach at the end of our road. If you love to snorkel then you’ll be glad to know that Roatan is surrounded by a fantastic close-in reef just feet from the shore.

West Bay beach is stunning with crystal clear turquoise water with a white sandy beach. And it’s all just a short stroll from our property where there are many restaurants, bars and resorts offering activities such as para-sailing or deep sea fishing! At the nearby West Bay Mall, our guests enjoy the coffee shop and convenience market with delicatessen that also offers a take-out menu!

As you walk down to the beach, the public dock is conveniently located to your right where you can catch a water taxi to the tourist town of West End for more shopping, diving, and of course, more snorkeling! Island tours are available by water and land taxis to whisk you away for a day at the spa, zip lines, the Iguana Park, and much, much more!

Choose us for your tropical island getaway – you’ll be glad you did!

Perfect Stay
I can't say enough good things about this place. Just like all the other reviews: perfect location, great room, amazing breakfast, etc. etc. You can't go wrong with this place unless you're looking for a party area.

A great location
This property was clean, had a helpful staff, and served great breakfasts. When another guest on the property had a medical problem, the staff quickly, calmly, and professionally coordinated the medical care with medical professionals and then transported the guest to the clinic. Well done!

Fantastic first visit to Roatan!
My husband and I recently stayed at the Seaside Inn during our first visit to West Bay Beach and Roatan. We stayed in the Gecko Casita, a separate little cottage just next to the main house. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay including a small kitchen with coffee maker, appliances, and cooking supplies. A delicious breakfast was served every morning on the patio of the main building. The owner, Jean-Noel, was away during our stay but Noel and Sandy took great care of us. They answered all questions. arranged a private tour guide, and also arranged for our Covid test to be done at the Inn the day before going home. We liked the location of Seaside in a lot. We were a 4 minutes walk down a quiet road to the beach. We spent our days scuba diving with West Bay divers, (right down the street), or hanging out at the beach in the chairs at Argentinian Grill. We loved being so close to everything but also just a bit removed so we could have peace and quiet when we returned after a busy day. I can't comment on staying in the main house since we were in the cottage but overall I would recommend Seaside Inn if you prefer something smaller and more quiet than Infinity Bay or the Grand Roatan. I also liked that we were on the northern end of West Bay Beach which was a bit less busy and noisy. We certainly hope to return someday!

I'd like to keep this place a secret!!
Rented the Ghecko for one month. I cannot describe how amazing our time was. The cabin was comfortable and well kept. The grounds are beautiful. Close to the beach, but not too close. This allows for some peaceful times by the pool. Breakfast was excellent both in taste and variety. Options for Celiacs are plentiful. Last but not least Jean Noel and Noel provide a very welcoming atmosphere. We'll be back.

Welcome to Seaside Inn!

I have been living in several countries and very happy to have moved to Roatan. From France where I was born to England where I completed my PhD program in Organic Chemistry and finally to San Francisco where I worked in the biotech industry searching for cancer treatments.

I fell in love with this island where I discovered diving. I will be very pleased to show you its secrets and share my love of its natural wonders with you. The island has many adventures to offer: fishing trips, mangrove tours, scuba diving, snorkelling and so much more.

I hope to see you all very soon,

Jean-Noel Levy
