Beautiful house

We had a great time at this beautiful house. Lots of space and we loved the multiple decks around the house to relax and enjoy the view. We also spent time in the pool and lounging in the yard under the sunshade. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals and sit in the wonderful air conditioning. This house had everything we needed to have a wonderful stay in Roatan. My only complaint would be it was very hot and the 15 minute walk was a little tough at the end of the day at the beach. There is a big hill to walk up on the way back so we were wishing we had a gulf cart. :0)

Casa Carnival at West Bay

The house had everything we needed for a month long stay. A short walk to West Bay beach, one of the best on the island.As well as a fully equipped house there was a dart board, table tennis, corn hole available. The pool was very welcome after a walk up from the beach to the house in 27 degree weather.Gabriel, could not do enough to help us. The internet was sporadic.

Beautiful spot

Our Family loved the house and the functionality. We were really impressed with the views from the various Decks and having the pool to cool off in was really nice as well. Our 20ish year old family members walked to the beach area many times and back and did not mind at all. Plenty of good dining options near by. Right up the road is the Black Iguana Golf course which we want to try next time and the Luna Restaurant.

Great property.

We (2 couples) spent a month in February-March in this amazing house. It is spacious and decorated in a beautiful ocean theme. We loved spending our mornings and evenings on any one of the multiple decks that allow you to find sun or shade, any time of the day. The house is well equipped with kitchen equipment, extra sheets and towels. We enjoyed cooking many meals on the barbecue while we sat around the outdoor bar nearby. The backyard and pool is a great place to spend a lazy day when you need a break from the beach. We were a short 10 minute walk from West Bay beach and many amazing restaurants there. There are also lots of walking options if you enjoy a longer morning walk. Our hosts Brent and Lisa were very accommodating and responded quickly to all of our questions and concerns before and during our stay. The caretaker Gabriel took care of all of our needs and is a wealth of information about the island and life there. We would definitely recommend this house in beautiful Roatan.

Perfect Location

This home is very close to the beach. We walked to West Bay most days in less than 10 minutes. West Bay has excellent snorkeling and is a really fun beach to walk on from one end to the other. The teens jumped off the dock as well as a higher dock on the end near the boats. We rented a few chairs each day and relaxed and swam. The sunsets there are great too. The home had a lot of games we enjoyed playing. We also enjoyed the many decks and cooling off in the pool. The owner was helpful and responsive. We ate at the Argentinian Grill for a special night and at a more food court area with many options including pupusas which were cheap and excellent. All of these places were within walking distance but the Argentine place was a longer walk. We enjoyed Daniel's monkey and Sloth place too but also saw that there's a monkey and zipline place close by you could walk to and the street that leads to it is gorgeous.

Paradise in Roatan

We loved our time at this beautiful property, wonderful host that was extremely helpful in our planning and navigating the island. The caretaker Gabriel was incredible and extremely accommodating no matter what we needed. His response time made it so easy on us, anything we needed including transportation around the island, suggestions on restaurants and even arranging a Honduran style dinner, made the trip even more memorable. Highly encourage anyone staying here to take advantage of the dinner, great meal that made the experience! Property was in a great location, a little bit of a walk to access the beach from a couple of locations so come prepared. After the first day we had a routine down but be ready for your exercise! Property is spacious and well-maintained, great layout especially for groups of 6+. Gorgeous view of the ocean from the top deck of the master suite. Incredible beaches and just could not be more thankful to Lisa, Brent and their family for sharing their place with us! Lots of great memories on this one. Can’t wait to come back!

Awesome house, Awesome location and owner

I would like thank Lisa for being a wonderful host to us. The house was impeccably clean. The rooms and beds were perfect and comfortable. The house has Awesome AC and was able to accommodate everyone of all ages . My boys 18 and 16 Loved it and its amenities. Boys enjoyed the pool after the beach. My baby enjoyed the pool as well. Parents enjoyed the house and we did too. The house is in a perfect walking location to the beach. Only 10 min walk. We were able to use the stroller and carrier. There are also drivers available at the market offering a ride and only charge you $5. Lisa the owner was amazing. She answered all of our questions prior to coming and during our stay. Thank you so much for your hospitality. Gabriel was also awesome, when needed he very accomadating and helpful. He gave is a tour on how to get around. Loved Casa Carnival ♡

Island life

Overall we had a great stay but definitely had a few road bumps which can be expected when traveling to a 3rd world country. I’d suggest Lisa update her communication documents as there was definitely confusion with what she sent vs what the situation was. Small example was the WiFi. The WiFi info sent in the documentation should be up to date with what’s in the house (not that WiFi really worked that great anyway). Another example was where we were meeting Gaberiel, her documentation said at the airport but when we arrived he was not there and we weren’t communicated with that he would not be there or that he was on the way etc. That aside, Lisa was very responsive when we reached out once we were there as was Gaberiel the house care taker.

Great Property and Location

A group of 6 of us stayed here in July. The house was more than adequate for our group with room to spare. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies for cooking-in. Everyone slept comfortably and there was ample space to relax whether inside or on a porch/patio. The pool was actually a bit larger than it appeared in the pictures. Made for a nice soak after a hot day at the beach. The owner is very helpful and responsive and there is also a house manager on-call if any assistance is required. Extra points for: 1. Adequate cooling system (that we turned off when out for the day) that isn't always the case when renting in a 3rd world country. 2. Water coolers with back-up water jugs for safe drinking without the need for buying lots of bottled water or ice. 3. 10 minute walk to the beach if without a vehicle. We had one and it was only $1 per hour to park near the beach. 4. Private and quiet stay but also near restaurants for eating out or take out. 5. Our animal loving family enjoyed the friendly couple cats (and occasional dog) that would make a visit outside the home.

Christmas in Roatan

We stayed at Casa Carnival over Christmas with our family of four and another family of four. The house was big enough for all of us but the layout was kind of awkward for our group because there are 3 bedrooms on the bottom floor and the master on the top floor so one couple had solitude upstairs and the other was downstairs with all the kids. The best part of the house is the deck off the main living space! The water views are amazing and you can see all kinds of wildlife, our favorites were the hummingbirds and oddly enough, the bats! They were mesmerizing! The location was great- quick drive to West Bay & there was a small grocery store, liquor store and coffee shop/cafe right down the road. We rented a car and drove everywhere - I see many people say they walked to the beach, etc. but I would not feel safe walking with my kids on that road. The yard was really nice although we didn’t get to use it much because of the weather. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would while on vacation. There is a path in front of the house that leads to an open field and a deck that overlooks the water. Go there, it’s awesome!! Make sure you wear closed toe shoes though! Overall, we had a great time.

Awesome Island, amazing people, and a beautiful house!

Where do I begin??? I came across the house and it immediately caught my eye. Seeing it in person, I was not disappointed, at all. It is in a perfect location on the island, and it is just beautiful! That in itself, would be enough, but you add the caretaker, Gabriel and his sister, Rosemary to the mix....and it is just like home. We met Gabe at the airport and felt like I had know him for years. He made himself available to us, and took us on several adventures on the island. Rosemary....what a cook!!!! She made meals for us 4 of the seven nights that we were there...and each meal was as delicious as the last. Have her make her brown stew fish....OMG!!!! We cannot wait to go back again! The island has some amazing scenery and we were able to see only a fraction of it. We went zip lining and dune buggy riding. You can walk to several restaurants, including Beachers, and it was a perfect day/night. Everyone is just SO friendly there! Cannot say anything bad about our trip.....just perfect! Thank you to the Grams, Gabe and Rosemary for making this a standout vacation! You are the best!!!

Great Stay

A great stay during our week in Roatán, Lisa was very responsive prior and during the trip and really came through for us with the need for a second play yard as we had two little ones in our group that sleep in cribs, this wasn’t an easy ask and we were so very thankful they were able to help us out! The property was very comfortable and clean, we really enjoyed the space with our families. The kitchen was very well stocked and we took advantage of a few home-cooked meals after getting a chance to go to the super market. The kids also really enjoyed the assortment of toys available for use! We were very thankful for all the age appropriate amenities throughout the week. We unfortunately did encounter some rough weather at the start of the trip and it resulted in loss of power for a number of hours, but the local caretaker was able to help as much as he could during the time, nothing that anyone could control! Location is a short walk to the beach (maybe 10-15 min), we didn’t mind it but note that there is not a shoulder to walk on and with kids and fast-driving cars we took extra caution! The only real challenge we encountered was the address of the property not being recognized on Google maps well, we had a couple taxi drivers struggle to find our location and resulted in a few late pick-ups for some excursions. Everything turned out fine but might be one thing to be aware of with Google Maps.

Incredible Vacation! Thank you Casa Pagoda!

We stayed at this home during Dec 17 to 27,2018. From the moment we got into the airport to the moment we left we loved it. The House: This home is incredible. The amount of space and bedrooms was more then we could have asked for. It has three separate huge bedrooms in the main floor and the Master is upstairs. The home also has a main area in the main floor that has a huge bed/couch for little ones to sleep on -- if your group has little ones. There is a kitchenette on the main floor and water cooler, for the bedrooms to use if needed. The bathroom was huge and we were four adults sharing at one point. It had plenty of space and cabinets for all of us. Now the best part of the house, the Common Area on the second floor…..I cannot say enough about it. The open concept kitchen and dining and family room, that all opens up on to the big outdoor deck was INCREDIBLE! There was plenty of outdoor furniture for everyone to enjoy. Morning Coffee with my family will never be the same. Now the EVEN better part of the house …the Master Bedroom space! WOW, WOW, WOW…..the space, the furniture, the master bathroom and the balcony! We must have taken a million pictures from that balcony. We loved it! Location: I cannot tell you enough about this location. Every morning we walked down the road and wondered on to the path that takes you down to the Lighthouse properties. It was one of the most beautiful morning walks in a long time. You can walk for 20 minutes or you can do what we did which was about 2 hours -- and walked the whole loop back to the West Bay beach all the way to Beachers bar and up the road back to our house. At night time, do not walk the main road without flashlights. Not because anything will happen to you, but because it is completely dark and the cars that will drive by (not too many cars) will not see you. So just a safety note -- if you must walk, bring flashlights! Now the Most Beautiful beach on this whole island is close by and it is walkable, however if you are bringing bags and coolers and toys etc. make sure no one is carrying too much. Our favorite spot on the beach was Beachers Bar --- food was excellent. Service was excellent. The Owners: I have not encountered more sweet, kind and responsive owners on Airbnb - as Lisa. I cannot say enough about the great experience. Thank you for everything!

A Fantastic experience!

1. Gabrial is all that and way more, he was awesome to deal with, punctual, honest, a great person, we even met his family as they joined us for dinner one night. Gabe found us some fresh sea food and I grilled it up...it was a very nice evening and they are great people. 2. the house was wonderful. It was as advertised and more, the vistas were awesome, it was so quiet, when the clouds parted(maybe twice) the nights were just wonderful. L walked the roads every day and Jo went with her a couple of times, they felt safe, never had an incident...it was all really really good. the layout is very cool, had we travelled with the kids it is a perfect layout. With the separate living area downstairs then the space on the main floor, tough to beat. 3. The place was very clean and well presented, it had everything that we needed plus...The balconies and views are just awesome, almost has to be seen to be appreciated. 4. The Island itself, well we are planning on returning in 2017 to look for a property to maybe build on, we are spending our downtime now researching...that is what we thought of the Island...I liken it to Cozumel 15-20 years ago, sleepy, laid back, great people, safe, a place that I can see us parking some money in the coming years. This was the first vacation that I have been on that I can honestly say without hesitation that I was sad to see end. Usually after 4 days I am pacing, anxiously awaiting the flight home...this time I was sad to go...it felt like home. Despite the weather(see #5) 5. The weather was awful, I think we caught the outer edges of Hurricane Otto, so it rained pretty much every day and most days it rained all day...we dove and we wandered around in West End, and on what was the best weather day we toured the Island with Gabe...despite the weather still a 12 on a scale of 1-10. 6. Gabe, well he gave us a tour of the Island one day and it was awesome, we saw some amazing beaches that were deserted, I suspect a combination of weather and low season...but stunning beaches none the less. We just toured the entire Island to get a feel for it...and the feeling was positive in the strongest terms. Gabe and his kids gave us a pretty good sense of the people on the island, but it seemed that everywhere we went people were welcoming and warm and friendly, and not in that I am about to extract money from you way...it really seemed like a genuine warmth...the place was awesome. 7. The negatives...well negative...the stairs in the house

Beautiful home! Great location to walk to pristine West Bay Beach! Price is a deal!

I stayed at this home with my Husband, Son(22), Daughter, Son-in-law, and 6 year old Grandson in January 2016. We had a wonderful time and the house had plenty of room for all of us! We walked to the gorgeous beach daily (great snorkeling) and felt very safe in the private neighborhood. It was clean and pretty! We had a wonderful vacation! The rental process with the homeowners was seamless! We were greeted at the airport by Gabriel (House manager) and another gentleman, in two small Suvs. They took us to a grocery store before arriving at the house (helpful!). Gabriel walked us through the home and answered any questions we had about the area. Gabriel was always a phone call away and often provided us transportation as well as advice on activities. My daughter and Grandson and I had a wonderful evening with his sister Rosemary and her children at a drumming and dancing gathering, for many locals, on the other side of the island. Gabriel and his family are very warm and a great bonus to renting this home! The home has 3 bedrooms down stairs that are perfect for a couple to stay with their young kids or older children to have a little privacy. It even had a kitchenette and bathroom all contained in the bottom level. The master bedroom is on the third floor up a round steep staircase. It has a private bathroom and large bedroom area with a little balcony that has a very nice view of the water. All of the rooms have air conditioners that cool quickly and we left them off when not in the home. The kitchen and living area are on the middle floor and very open for the whole family to hang out in. Gabriel's sister Rosemary, cooked many delicious meals for us during our stay and kept our kitchen spotless! If she is available, I highly suggest using Rosemary in the kitchen. She even babysat for our grandson one night when we all went out! I really enjoyed her company and loved that she took great care of all of us! Upon arrival we were slightly disappointed in the outdoor patio area because it was in need of some repairs and straightening. Gabriel quickly saw to this as soon as we complained. We didn't use the patio much. We often found ourselves sitting outside on the balcony off of the kitchen,it was very nice and spacious! We would stay in the home again for sure! Use the neighbors Jay and Lavinna for diving (they were great!) I would not suggest this home for people of poor health, elderly, or a family with toddlers because of the stairs

We returned to Roatan for some diving and to see friends, and planned for a 3.5 week stay. We also were hoping from other friends might come out for part of our trip, so we looked for a place with room for 4 to spread out/have privacy, work space, access to the main area of West Bay, and the comforts of home. (We cook a lot and wanted a good kitchen). We found this listing and after introducing ourselves, immediately knew it was a good thing and booked. Lisa, the owner, was so welcoming and friendly, and provided all the needed info and contacts to make our arrival and stay smooth. We had friends pick us up, but transportation is available from the extended network of good people associated with the house and family. We were welcomed by Gabriel (the amazingly friendly and helpful property manager) and immediately felt at home. The property is gorgeous. It's in a quite area (important for us) and every detail inside and out has obviously been built and tended with great care. The dipping pool... we were in it every day, and it was a huge bonus. Everything was as described; comfortable, clean, functional, and again, simply put together with love and care.It is indeed walkable to the beach; we found a small rental car was helpful for enjoying West Bay and West End, especially for going to/from dives or coming home at night after a meal. Bonus: Porch Cats!I cannot recommend this home enough. We hope to be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Grams

Host profile image
We are Brent and Lisa Grams from Overland Park, Kansas which is just outside of Kansas City, Missouri. ( And yes, we are most definitely proud fans of Patrick MaHomes and the Kansas City Chiefs!)

We both grew up in the same small town in Missouri but didn't meet until much later in life. After our wedding in 2001, we had our first son at ages 38 and 45 and our second three years later. (what in the world were we THINKING?!)

My husband has a traveler's soul and a dreamer's heart, and so began his Roatan journey over 25 years ago. It was on a dive trip that he encountered destiny...a lonely 'lot for sale' sign nestled in the white sands of West Bay Beach, which at the time appeared nearly desolate from the water. What a leap of faith!

With unwavering determination, Brent purchased the lot and began construction on his first house. At the time, it was the only visible residence on West Bay beach and still stands next to the Henry Morgan resort, serving as it's flagship restaurant.

It was a very popular rental home and we enjoyed years of hosting our wonderful guests from around the world. However, as the beach grew in popularity, we decided to retreat just a bit - in favor of more peace and privacy. And let's face it, to get away from the constant task of managing sandy messes, voracious insects, loud music and relentless vendors!

Despite the never ending challenges and unjustifiable expense of building and maintaining a home on a remote island, the love we have for Roatan and it's wonderful people has been the richest reward we could have ever imagined and has made it all worth while.
