About this property
Utila's The Gardens ~ Top Floor Upscale Apartments
The Gardens is now offering 2 spacious one bedroom, fully furnished, upscale apartments for those wanting more than a just room with a bed while vacationing on Utila. Each of the units is located on a paved road within a privacy fence with security lighting for your convenience. Each of these units boasts two decks, one of which is privacy partitioned. The Gardens is located just up and off of the Main Street, close enough to be “in town”, but far enough from the hustle and bustle of Main Street to allow for peace and privacy. These apartments are designed in a home style setting with all of the amenities you’d expect. Full sized refrigerators, glass panel stoves with ovens, built in overhead microwave units, stainless sinks with full time hot water, wall mounted televisions complete with cable, tiled showers with hot water and, of course, Wifi for those that need to stay connected to the world at large. These apartments are self catering with all linens, cookware, and tableware provided. All you need to bring with you is your clothes, groceries and a toothbrush to be right at home!
At the Gardens you can expect more than to just be pointed to your room. We strive to make your vacation as effortless as possible. Standard services include arranging pick up and return to your point of origin on the island, and provisioning and stocking prior to your arrival, if requested.
For those wanting intimate privacy, we have constructed an upscale, stand alone Cottage located within the privacy fence that surround the property. This Cottage is ideal for a couple wanting to get away from it all, yet have all of the amenities needed to feel pampered and at home. Custom cabinets in the kitchen were designed with ergonomics in mind making the kitchen immanently usable. The bathroom boasts a full height shower with ceramic tile with marble inserts and a glass block divider. The pedestal sink with wall mounted mirror/vanity optimizes good usage of space and and glass block recessed into the wall provides ambient light. The Cottage has quickly become a favorite with guests of The Gardens!
For those wanting to enjoy the diving that Utila is famous for we can provide a private dive boat with personal professional Dive Masters/IDC Instructors, or special arrangements can be made with select qualified local dive shops to include you in their groups. Certification in Diving is available from Beginner all the way to Advanced using Drager™ Dolphin Rebreathers and Closed Circuit Units. Diving alternatives such as horseback riding, boating, sailing charters, 4 wheel excursions or guided nature walks are only a request away.
The Gardens has access to the best in Catch and Release Deep Sea Fishing Charters, having custom boats on call with Captains who know and fish the Bay Islands.
The Gardens may not be for everyone, but it may be just what you’re looking for!

About the host
Hosted by Tony & Jo
We are Tony & Jo, and we've been happily living on Utila for over 20 years, living the life and the lifestyle that is Utila. We've been involved in everything from restaurants to bars, bars to hotels and real estate, and we currently own The Gardens, a boutique ApartHotel where each of the units is upscale and meant to provide our guests with a home like feel, instead of a normal hotel.
We ended up in hospitality by accident, and with neither of us having a background in it we simple decided to base what we do on the best experiences we have had in our extensive travels. One of the things that impressed us immensely in our travels was to find ourselves in a place where the owners responded to our questions or our concerns, and that is primarily what we have based our business model on. We hope that you'll find we answer yours!
We have now been taking care of guests on Utila for well over fifteen years. In that time we have found ourselves in the position of having more and more properties outside of our own presented to us for rental and property management, and the need to present them in a competent and professional manner is our reasoning for our going formal with what we have been doing all along; hence Utila Vacation Rentals was formed for your convenience.

Why they chose this property
We think The Gardens is a property for travelers as opposed to tourists. It is located on a paved road (a boon in rainy season!) just up from Main Street so we don't get the street traffic going on constantly at The Gardens. It's a place to call home for the time you are there so fully stocked kitchens are in each unit. Sometimes we just want to have a quiet meal at home, and we find most of our guests do to. You can be "at home" at The Gardens.
What makes this property unique
All of our units have free wifi, along with smart TVs that allow you to work remote while you're with us, or just enjoy downtime at home after a busy day.
