About the host
Hosted by Derek & Ima
Hi! My name is Ima and I am originally from Guanaja—sister island to Utila—I fell in love with this tropical paradise when I met my husband Derek, a proud Utilian. Together, we decided to plant roots here by purchasing our dream home and turning it into a vacation rental so others could discover the beauty of this hidden gem for themselves.
Though we currently live in Tampa, our amazing property manager, Shantell, takes great care of the place and will ensure your stay is nothing short of perfect. We can’t wait to share our slice of paradise with you!

Why they chose this property
It is the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. With only a three minute walk to downtown, it puts you right in the heart of Utila while also enjoying peace and tranquility perched on a hill.
What makes this property unique
Perched on a hill, just across the street, our place offers a breathtaking view of the Bay. And just a 3-minute walk to town puts you close to the island’s hottest restaurants and dive shops. Super convenient for exploring and dining out.
We also have kenup trees and a soursop fruit tree on the property! Feel free to harvest as much as you like during your stay. It's a little island treat we love to share.
