Overview
Private Pool, Close to the Beach, Dive Shop and Restaurants!
Welcome to Seaside Inn - we are veteran owned and operated (USMC!). We purchased this gorgeous property in March of 2014 and we hope to be the best little resort on West Bay Beach.
Seaside Inn is located on sandy road within a three minute walking distance to the beautiful West Bay Beach. The location is awesome! The road is level the entire way from the beach until about 50’ from the house where you have a gradual, very slight, incline – don’t worry, we’re not one of the locations on the West Bay Mountain and we are not on the opposite 'iron' shore. 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 and enjoyment.
We have 4 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 a beautifully tiled studio suite with two XL twin pillow-top beds arranged as bunk beds - ideal for adult travelers sharing their accommodation, but still enjoying a comfy full-length bed while watching their budget. It has a smaller footprint than the other suites, but there is a 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 10 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.
Just so you know what to pack and what to buy at the local grocery store, each rental unit has:
• 2 beach towels
• local cell phone
• in-room safe
• hair dryer
• flashlight
• alarm clock
• blender, toaster, microwave, coffee maker
• basic supplies: toilet paper, coffee filters, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, hand soap, salt & pepper
• 5-gallon bottle(s) of water
• full set of dishes & glasses plus assorted plastic tumblers and wine glasses for use by the pool
• pots and pans are provided in the Gecko Bungalow for the 2 burner stove-top
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 bar provides our guests free beach lounge chairs! You never have to worry about trying to find a beach chair or paying for one to rent! They have the best coconut shrimp and the best Monkey La La’s on the island!!
If you’re a diver, there’s a 5-star PADI dive center 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, 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, Anthony’s Key to swim with the dolphins, zip lines, the Iguana Park, and much, much more!
Choose us for your tropical island getaway – you’ll be glad you did!
If we're at the beach, we'll return your call within 24 hours.
About Carolyn Belfor
I grew up in upstate New York. My father was a U.S. Forest Service ranger, so we moved to Colorado when I was in high school. I then went on to serve 4 years in the Marine Corps, then 4 years of college in Oregon and Arizona. I graduated from Arizona State in 1985. I moved around a lot, taking different jobs as a software engineer. My last job was working for Hewlett-Packard for 15 years. I always have vacationed in the tropics and decided that before I got too old, I'd do something different and live in the Caribbean. After a lot of searching, my mother took the family to Roatan for her birthday and we all fell in love with the island and the friendly islanders. It was no doubt, that Roatan was definitely the choice!
Carolyn Belfor purchased this house in 2014
Why Carolyn Belfor chose Bay Islands
I fell in love with this beautiful home and island after looking at several other Caribbean destinations. The home is in the shaded jungle, just steps from the most beautiful beach on Roatan. West Bay Beach was recently named by the 'Island Magazine' as one of the top ten beaches in the world. The snorkeling and diving is amazing since Roatan is surrounded by the second largest barrier reef in the world. The island is small, so you get to know everyone and it develops a sense of family.

Thank You Carolyn!
My Wife and I stayed in the Toucan suite Mar 17- Apr 06, 2015 and enjoyed every day we were there. The Inn and owner Caolyn Belfor were wonderful. As advertised the Inn is a two minute walk to probably the best beach on the Island giving access to world class snorkeling, restaurants that offer great food and unmatchable sunsets or, when just going for a stroll, star fish lounging in the sea grass are waiting to greet you. The Seaside Inn was and is all its advertised to be. We enjoyed our breakfasts every morning on a huge deck with views overlooking jungle and a great pool that we used often later in the day or for just a quick evening splash. Carolyn, the owner, was a wonderful host with a wealth of information about Roatan that she was happy to share with us. The services that Carolyn recommended were second to none! When renting a car it was delivered to our door promptly at 08:00, water taxis and wheeled taxis drivers recommended by our host were always waiting for us with clean and safe boats or cars and the drivers were a treasure of information and advise. But the best touch of all was the fish truck that delivered fresh lobster, shrimp, and red snapper that we grilled on the deck on the odd evening. I did a lot of shopping prior to booking the Toucan suite at the Seaside Inn and I must say I really did get lucky. Our accommodations were great, our hostess was wonderful and the price that included the 19 percent tax was a lot less than Carolyn could have charged. I read a review that mentioned the hill to climb when walking up from the beach. My wife and I are both 60 years old and from the prairies. We are not exactly used to steep climbs so I was a bit concerned over the hill comment. The hill is nothing more than an uphill grade that made us chuckle at the comment.
Excellent Location - Beautiful Place!
We stayed at this great little resort for a week in July. It’s a gem of a little place right off the most beautiful beach on the island. West Bay Beach is stunning. The location is fantastic. We saw a couple of the places we were going to rent and they were not anywhere near the beach. (Beware of some of the false advertising – some of the places say they’re on West Bay but they are not!) We had a short stroll right down to West Bay Beach and came out of the lane right near Beachers Restaurant. So very glad we decided to stay here at Seaside.
The Seaside Inn was spotlessly clean and super comfortable. Everyone was very happy with their rooms and all said the beds were very comfy. Loved the little kitchens for fixing sandwiches and keeping drinks and fresh fruits we bought from the street vendors. And of course hot coffee and tea in the morning which we usually drank out on the huge veranda.
The air conditioning was a lifesaver at night. (I don’t think I could have made it without it.) The bathrooms were nice and clean and beautifully tiled. Nice linens and towels.
When the private pool is completed this place is going to be fabulous. Quiet, private with lots of parrots and palm trees and the pool off the huge veranda will be the perfect setting in paradise. We are all planning a return trip next year to lounge by the pool.
We loved the island. The snorkeling was fantastic. Spotted rays, turtles and lots of beautiful fish. We ate at many nice restaurants. We all agree that the coconut shrimp at Beachers and the beef tenderloin at Argentinian Grill were some of the very best meals. When the cruise ships were in, West Bay was lively and fun with lots of people and activities and when there were no cruise ships the beach was quiet, serene and beautiful. The people on the island are all so friendly and we always felt safe. It’s a very happy little island.
We all agreed we would highly recommend the Seaside Inn. It’s a very nice place to stay in a perfect location and we will all be back next year.
