The house was built in the United States and rearmed in Roatan. Casa Kennedy is ideally located home at the heart of West Bay Beach, offering private beach access close to hotels but away from crowds.

Each restaurant and hotel in the vicinity also have private guards and the police regularly patrol the beach. In short, West Bay is quite secure, but people will want to sell you massages and shirts. While we are not the newest house—and I do emphasize that for those expecting boutique hotel quality services for large groups while paying per head hostel level prices (that is our competitive edge in this market place)—we ask prospective guests to think about supporting the expansion and evolution of a family business - my father's dream home that he built up as a surgeon and former Navy reservist, son of a Lt. Colonel in the US Armed Forces. My eventual goal is to build new units that are affordable and accessible to all, making West Bay more than just the haunt of those frequenting the more expensive resorts, allowing divers, veterans, and retirees longer, more relaxed stays.

Casa Kennedy - Best Location on West Bay Beach - Houses for Rent in West Bay, Bay Islands, Honduras

Beachfront house, with shops, pharmacies and restaurants, beach chairs and also coolers to have your drinks whenever you want. The host is very helpful and attentive to the group's needs.

Casa en línea de playa, con comercios, farmacias y restaurantes, tumbonas y además hieleras para tener tus bebidas en el momento que desees, el anfitrión muy atento e interesado en las necesidades del grupo.

We had an amazing time at Casa Kennedy! There’s no need to keep looking, just book this location and you’ll be more than happy. I can’t speak highly enough regarding the location. The home had more than enough space for our family of 5. We have three teenage kids and they were able to walk anywhere directly from the home without a worry. There are many restaurants, bars, dive shops, convenience store within a few steps making anything you need super convenient. There is also plenty of private space to lounge both on the deck and in the front yard and private beach area. Many great family memories were made at Casa Kennedy and we look forward to a return trip at some point in the future.

Our week at Casa Kennedy was amazing! Great location, right on the water. Nancy and her daughter cooked amazing meals for us and got my son a birthday cake. The location is absolute perfection. We will definitely be back!

A beautiful house, located next to some of the best resorts in Roatán. It feels like a small private paradise, ideal for relaxing and enjoying an unforgettable vacation. The house comes with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Maritza's service was excellent and the staff who looked after us at the property were always very friendly, attentive and helpful. Tip: Ask for Omar to arrange transportation and tours. He has excellent contacts and options that really make the experience in Roatán even better. I would definitely stay here again. Totally recommended! Five stars.

Una casa hermosa, ubicada junto a algunos de los mejores resorts de Roatán. Se siente como un pequeño paraíso privado, ideal para relajarse y disfrutar de unas vacaciones inolvidables. La casa cuenta con todo lo necesario para una estadía cómoda. La atención de Maritza fue excelente y el personal que nos atendió en la propiedad siempre fue muy amable, atento y servicial. Un consejo: pregunten por Omar para organizar el transporte y los tours. Tiene excelentes contactos y opciones que realmente hacen que la experiencia en Roatán sea aún mejor. Sin duda volvería a hospedarme aquí. ¡Totalmente recomendada! Cinco estrellas.

Amazing location with wonderful hosts. Everything was just as listed. I can’t believe how great the reef is and it’s just off the beach. Love the chairs right on the beach too. Would absolutely stay again.

John was a wonderful host.   The home was just what we were looking for.  It is right on the beach, with a beautiful view and plenty of restaurants within walking distance.  .We also used Nancy for some meals - she is amazing.  There was 7 of us - we had plenty of room.  Absolutely loved it.  Hope to stay there my next visit to Roatan.

We have stayed at other properties in Emerald Beach and this trip we had pleasure of staying at Casa Kennedy . The property is beautiful and is steps from the beach . This house is roomy and we had 8 adult guests with no issues at all . The house was totally clean and had everything we could ever need . Having the driver available was soooo helpful . We did not have services of the cook but we understand she prepares fabulous meals . The beds are very comfy and we all had good nights sleep . The area is quite conducive to a relaxing time . West Bay Beach is awesome and the house is in easy walking distance to all the restaurants . We would not hesitate to stay at Casa Kennedy again .

This house is amazing. The proximity to the beach is unreal, and we really enjoyed the private beach area that is shaded, overlooking the water, with stunning views. We also loved the morning coffee and afternoon meals on the deck. We had everything we needed to cook from the kitchen supplies/appliances. The hosts were very responsive and helped with all situations. We have stayed in many Airbnbs throughout the world and this is one of the best. We will definitely be coming back! From my in-laws who joined us: Truly a magical place - exceeded our expectations which were already very high! And really appreciate how the home had all the needed supplies, and how responsive and accommodating the hosts were of our questions and small issues - would love to enjoy this wonderful place again in future!

This was a beautiful place to spend time with our family of 8. Easy access to the beach and comfortable accommodations for everyone. It felt more like a cottage house as opposed to a pristine home. The host was very responsive to all of our concerns but we did have language issues with our on site manager. The upper level was roomy enough for everyone to hang out if we weren’t outside enjoying the sound of the surf.

This is the most beautiful location on the most beautiful beach on the island. Every time we stay here, I can hardly believe how beautiful it is. My morning ritual here is coffee on the deck as I look at the beautiful garden and enjoy the birds, geckos, and agouti. Then throw my swimsuit on and walk the mere steps to our private white sand beach with lounge chairs and soak up some sun until I walk the few more steps to crystal blue warm and calm water to see huge red starfish and other fish swimming with me...and beyond that is the mesoamerican reef...close enough to swim to! Everyone here is so nice and helpful. John and Maritza checked in and made sure we had everything we needed. Omar, our driver, took us everywhere we needed and provided great restaurant recommendations. Nancy, the house manager and chef was absolutely amazing...she was there to welcome us at check-in and quickly answered any questions we had...and made two of our meals for us and they were delicious!

We loved our stay at Casa Kennedy. The house was immaculate and perfect for our family of 5. We loved the location. It was perfect to hang out on the beach and short walk to the house to refill our beer and drinks. It was also so convenient to the mini store, snorkeling and restaurants. Nancy was super helpful and always quick to answer any questions. We also used Omar for driving us around. He was the most genuine, nice guy. We have saved his number for future visits Do not hesitate if you are considering staying at Casa Kennedy

You could not ask for a better location or a more responsive, helpful host!  House truly is right on the beach, with your own private sitting area. Very spacious, comfortable accommodation. Deck is terrific for meals and watching sunsets. Easy walking distance (on the beach) to many good restaurants. You really don’t need to leave once you’ve arrived!

Best Airbnb ever!!  Definitely, definitely stay here!!!  We are a family of 6 which includes 4 children ages 17-22. This was absolutely perfect for our family. There  was plenty of space to relax and lounge whether that was inside, on the balcony, in the hammocks  or at the private beach area on the loungers. The location is unbeatable. Like truly the stuff of dreams. We loved having the privacy of a home and the ability to make breakfast and lunch but also the social aspect of being on the beach and being able to go to a variety of restaurants at night or grab a cocktail literally steps away. There is snorkeling, jet ski rentals, a small grocery, bars, restaurants literally steps down the beach. Fantastic for our children who wanted to explore and do their own thing but we also had the house to gather as a family and watch movies together at night, play games, or just contemplate the sunset . Communication with the host was exceptional. This home is ON THE BEACH. Best vacation ever.

Beautiful spot right on the beach- able to walk to restaurants and snorkelling but also private.  Loved it

We had a great time at Casa Kennedy with our group of 6 adults.  Can't beat the location- right on the beach.  And can't recommend Nancy more highly.  Such a kind person who is also a great cook!  Any questions we had in advanced were answered quickly and thoughtfully.  Comfortable home with all the amenities you would need.  Highly recommend this place!!!!  Would love to come back!

We loved every part about John’s house! The location was perfect and the viewing was amazing! We will definitely stay here again!

A very comfortable house and very well located. I would recommend it:)

Una casa muy cómoda y muy bien ubicada. Lo recomiendo:)

Our stay at Casa Kennedy was great, the house had all the necessary amenities to spend a few days at the beach, and we could also count on Nancy and Omar's help with any incident that occurred very quickly.

Nuestra estancia en Casa Kennedy fue estupenda, la casa contaba con todas las comodidades necesarias para poder pasar unos días en la playa, además pudimos contar con la ayuda de Nancy y Omar frente a cualquier incidencia que hubo de manera muy rápida.

Amazing location if you like morning strolls on the beach and amazing sunsets!!! The location is #1 on the island, this was my 19th time to roatan and by far the best location. Strongly recommend hiring Omar to pick you up to stop at Eldon’s grocery on your way to the lodgings he’s great

In the past we've stayed at hotels and other house rentals on different parts of the Island ( hotel in West Bay, condo in West End, house in Milton Bight, etc). This year, we came across this hidden gem of a house, and were able to book it for the first leg of our Roatan trip. We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Kennedy! It checked all the boxes and beyond, perfect for our family of 6 (mom, dad, 2 boys, mother in law, nanny). The beach house atmosphere was ideal, the kitchen was fully stocked, the rooms comfortable, plenty of space on the porches. The location nested right on the beach in West Bay, but yet private, is unbeatable. We had a great view right from our deck, we all enjoyed laying on the hammocks, and eating outside. Plenty of restaurants. We appreciate the prompt and great communication with the owners, Maritza and John. We received a warm welcome from Nancy, we all felt right at home. Casa Kennedy was an incredible value for the money and we would love to stay there again.

Would highly recommend! It was a beautiful location, withing walking distance on the beach to many great restaurants, activities, and even a market. It was spacious and we felt like we had everything we needed. Definitely utilize Nancy as the cook. Her meals her better than some of the restaurants and half the price! It was a great team to have while my family traveled out of the country for the first time!

Wow! That’s the only word to describe Casa Kennedy and the total experience it was! Omar greeted us warmly at the airport, provided great recommendations on the drive while getting us to the grocery store and then home! Definitely recommend connecting with Mal (Malarkey Tours) for snorkeling and a wonderful day on the water highlighted with local cuisine and a swim with nurse sharks! We cannot say enough about sweet Nancy. Her welcoming smile and demeanor are the only things better than her home cooked meals! We ended up asking her to cook more days than we originally intended bc no restaurant can compare! The setting is wonderful and family friendly. You won’t be disappointed!

This place was amazing! Great location right on the beach, yet very private space. Everything was exactly as described. I had asked several questions, and John and Maritza responded to everything quickly. They gave us lots of local information, and clear instructions. They were both fantastic and easy to work with. Nancy is the housekeeper, and was very kind. We did have her cook a dinner for us and it was the best meal we had the entire trip!! Much better than anything we had at a resturarnt and much cheaper. Omar is the driver they have on retainer and he was also amazing! He was very flexible, easy to work with and a lot of fun! He gave us all kinds of information as we toured the island with him and gave us some very helpful recommendations. We all would love to stay here again!

This was our second stay at Casa Kennedy and we really loved that it felt familiar. It’s a wonderful property, right on the beach. Lovely views, safe, and comfortable. Nancy was there to greet us. Omar was fantastic, picked us up from our various flights and was available for day trips etc. we definitely recommend a stay here, and hope to return

Great location on the beach! Host was very responsive and very helpful

This truly is one of the best locations in West Bay. The house is clean and has everything you need...bath and beach towels, drinking water, etc. It has a beautiful shaded yard and private beach area with lounge chairs and umbrellas. Also, Nancy prepared the most delicious meal for us...definitely must take advantage of her talent. We've stayed here twice now and just love it!

What a truly amazing experience! Casa Kennedy will stand out as one the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed in. It’s literally steps from the beach and surround by restaurants and bars. The water is warm and clear. Every bed was very comfortable and the house was equipped with everything we needed. Nancy, who manages the house cooked for us a few times and every time it was amazing and affordable. I hope to go back soon!

What a beautiful place! This is truly a gem. Right on the beach with the comforts of home. We had plenty of space for 3 generations to make great memories. Communication was amazing from start to finish. Omar helped us get everywhere we wanted to go safely and with great recommendations. Nancy met us on arrival, and cooked us an amazing meal. Everyone was friendly and helped us feel special and at home. I do want to mention that there is a large variety of spices and different sunscreen options, so you may not need to purchase these before arriving. Upon arrival, Omar stopped at the grocery store before bringing us all the way to the house. This was sooo helpful. We were able to get everything else we needed from the small store just a short walk down the beach. One of the best parts of this house is the proximity to the beach while being well shaded. We could easily get to the beach without having to stay in the sun all day, this was great for all of us, especially the grandkids.

Unbelievable location in West Bay with basically a private beach. House manager, Nancy, is absolutely wonderful. Communication from John and Maritza could not be better; both effusive with their time. They did everything to make sure our stay was outstanding including connecting us with transportation, many local recommendations and more.

Casa Kennedy's location is fantastic. You get the privacy of a house/beach area yet the amenities of the island all within walking distance which was ideal with little kids.  No one in my family speaks spanish so communicating with the housekeeper who does not speak english was a bit of a barrier but the hosts were very quick to respond to any questions we had.

Great location! Beach is right out in front of the house. Five minute walk down the beach to one of the best snorkeling reefs. One minute walk to West Bay Divers for suba diving. Plenty of restaurants within a short walk. House is older but had lots of character. You can inquire about hiring Nancy the maid to prepare you local, delicious meals for a reasonable cost. We had a family of 7 and had plenty of space. Downstairs bedroom and a living room can be a separate mother-in- law plan as it has a separate exterior entrance only. We would stay there again.

It's a beautiful house just steps to the beach, exactly how you see in the pictures. Nancy and Omar were so accommodating. Nancy made some delicious traditional meals. Omar is a great tour guide, he gives a lot of history on the area and very patient and always on time. Highly recommend this house, stores and restaurant just walking distance. Will recommend omar's services as for me the driving did not seem easy in the area but he was wonderful. Nancy's cooking also gives you more time to explore the island. Also a 10 min drive to the west end. The a.c in the house worked great , very quiet area and you feel safe at night. Thank you for everything.

The place was fabulous. Just as described. Loved the private beach area and steps to the water. We did have a few concerns with water and lights on the deck. Nancy quickly got the water fixed and also provided a lamp for the deck. She said electricians would have to fix that problem later since they thought it was a wiring issue. We loved sitting on the deck drinking coffee in the morning and eating out there. Nancy cooked some amazing meals for us too. Highly recommend her services. Very peaceful and quiet. Would definitely come back here to stay!

Absolutely loved this house! The location can’t be beat! Nancy made us delicious meals, Omar was a driver and was so kind and knowledgeable. Maritza was quick to respond and helpful. Highly recommend this home!!

Hello is a super well located house. With an excellent menu. We felt comfortable. No problems at all. It was like being at home. Excellent attention from Nancy. Everything you occupy for a family vacation the house has. No doubt a super host. We were very satisfied for sure we will return

Hola es una casa súper bien ubicada. Con un excelente menaje. Nos sentimos cómodos. No hubo ningún problema. Fue como estar en casa. Excelente atención de Nancy. Todo lo que ocupas para unas vacaciones en familia la casa lo tiene. Sin duda alguna Super host. Quedamos muy satisfechos por seguro volveremos

The house is lovely, and West beach is beautiful.

Very nice property. We had issues with power outages several times- which is out of control for the host. We also found out that people there just discard trash on the ground wherever they are at the time they are done with it. Again, not the fault of the property, or the host. I believe that it is worth mentioning for others looking to visit the island.

We had a great time here and everyone enjoyed the time spent. Nancy is a great cook and very helpful and kind. Would definitely stay here again.

This is one of the best Airbnbs out there. Very spacious and the location couldn't be better. Walking to one of the best beaches in the world within 50 feet just cannot be beaten. Nancy also cooked us an incredible fish dinner. If this place is available, look no further!

We had a great time with the family in this beautiful home. Everything was perfect, the service offered on site, the house, etc. We will return during our next stay in Honduras.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour en famille dans cette belle maison. Tout était parfait, le service proposé sur place, la maison, etc. Nous reviendrons lors de notre prochain séjour au Honduras.

Second time staying at Casa Kennedy and loved it just as much as the first time! Felt welcomed back like family, and it had been too long since being back on the island (pre-covid). The island is getting more developed though not losing its charm, and this property is the best on West Bay Beach by far. Please send our love along to Nancy, and we hope to see you again soon!

Casa Kennedy is a treasure.  Our family enjoyed our time relaxing on the beach.  Having our own beach area with chairs was very convenient.  The house has all the accommodations you need like cooking supplies and even sun screen and bug spray.  We can’t say enough about Nancy and the care taker of the property.   The care taker took down coconuts for us and helped us out with snorkeling gear and more.  Nancy was always there to answer our questions and even cooked us a typical fish dinner with tajadas, chismol, and beans and rice.  She came and cooked, we enjoyed conversation with her and she cleaned the whole kitchen.  The food was amazing.  If you are considering this house for your stay, I would highly recommend it.  I don’t believe there are any other houses to rent on the beach in West Bay.   We will definitely try to book another stay when we come back.  Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Excellent communication! Perfect location! We will definately be back!!

We had such a wonderful experience at Casa de Kennedy. It's a beautiful house with the best view in west bay. Nancy is super helpful and a great cook. She cooked the fish we caught and great Honduran sides. Obel takes great care of the yard and helped my son with local fishing spots and just overall  great person. Our group of 7 had a wonderful 8 days. We will be back for sure.

A spectacular, film place in front of the best beach called West Bay,  in the area of the best resorts in Roatán, at par a convenience store, very good restaurants nearby, not forgetting also Nancy and company, very friendly at the time of the welcome, great place for a family or friends trip, I have already done both:), and would come back if I have the chance.

Un lugar espectacular, de película, frente a la mejor playa llamada West Bay,  en la zona de los mejores Resorts de Roatán, a la par una tienda de conveniencia, muy buenos restaurantes cerca, sin olvidar también de Nancy y compañía, muy amables a la hora de la bienvenida, excelente lugar para un viaje familiar o de amigos, yo ya he hecho ambos:), y volvería si tuviera la oportunidad.

The place was just as described. Lots of space for our family. Beachfront was amazing. Restaurants and grocery store within very close walking distance.

Had a wonderful stay at Maritza’s place! The home was perfect for our family and had everything we needed plus plenty of space. The location cannot be beat. You’re right on the beach and close to plenty of restaurants, markets and water activities. Maritza was super responsive and handled a small situation for us very quickly and professionally. We scuba dived each day at Las Rocas (super professional staff) and the reef of Roatan was THE best I have ever experienced. My parents loved the home and the island of Roatan so much that they want to make this a family trip each year! Can’t recommend this home enough!

Nice place but tired. Could use some upgrades and privacy in front of the place was sometimes compromised

Amazing location. In terms of location, it is hard to beat. The house is right in front of the beach and really close to several restaurants. When you are sitting in the deck, you still feel like you have privacy. The house is spacious and the beds are really comfortable. The ACs in the bedrooms and the common areas worked well. The place is great for kids or a larger group. I would rent again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and John’s house was perfect for 7 of us. John and Maritza were perfect hosts. Highly recommend and hope we return someday. They were very responsive to any and all communication. .

Excellent place, this in front of the most beautiful beach in Roatan, has many things to do close by. very nice Nancy by the way

Excelente lugar, esta frente a la playa mas hermosa de Roatan, tiene muchas cosas que hacer cerca. muy amable Nancy por cierto

We've just spent 6 days in Casa Kennedy. This house is a rare gem in West Bay. The staff is top notch: starting with the knowledgeable & punctual driver, the caretaker who keeps the place clean & safe, and Nancy the housekeeper, a great cook & a helpful person. The house is well appointed & has the right amenities for a comfortable stay: a full kitchen equipped with the necessary items for cooking . The WiFi was good for all 7 members of our party, some of whom had to work remotely. The rooms & main living room have A/C & ceiling fans. There's plenty of storage space throughout the house with closets, armoires & wardrobes in every room. At walking distance to restaurants, diving shops, mini-markets & fancy hotels, yet private enough to be your own retreat. This house is just a few steps from a stunning white coral sand beach & pristine turquoise waters where one swim, snorkel, scuba dive or simply bask in the sun the sun the whole day. We are definitely coming back as soon as we can!

Had a great time. Location is great with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Very accommodating and responsive to our needs. Would definitely recommend!

Great home and great location! We were a group of seven with plenty of space. Loved the beautiful views from the house. Nancy was super helpful and a great cook.  We will definitely be back soon. Thank you!

Great place, great location, feels private even though it's next to a restaurant and busy beach. Some things to note: Water is salty all over the house, in the sinks and shower. People in basement room have no access to upstairs without going outside.

Great Location… Beautiful water right in front of the house..:)

The house is incredibly well equipped and offers a very safe atmosphere which made our stay extremely welcoming. Its location in West Bay is simply unbeatable; we barely saw people on the beach right in front of the house, which gave us a quieter, more private experience. Also, having a market and several restaurants nearby was very convenient. Nancy and Omar's service was very good; they were extremely helpful and attentive, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Would definitely stay here again on our next trip to the area!

La casa está increíblemente bien equipada y ofrece un ambiente muy seguro, lo que hizo que nuestra estancia fuera sumamente acogedora. Su ubicación en West Bay es simplemente inmejorable; apenas vimos personas en la playa justo en frente de la casa, lo que nos brindó una experiencia más tranquila y privada. Además, tener un mercado y varios restaurantes cercanos resultó muy conveniente. El servicio de Nancy y Omar fue muy bueno; fueron extremadamente serviciales y atentos, lo que hizo que nuestra estadía fuera aún más placentera. ¡Definitivamente volveríamos a hospedarnos aquí en nuestro próximo viaje a la zona!

We had a great stay at the beach house. It is very well equipped with everything you could need during your holiday. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Great location, really just a few steps away from the beach and all the restaurants and shops. You feel right at home as soon as you arrive.

You can’t find an actual house on that strip of West Bay so this location is unbeatable if you want a home to yourself with beachfront in Westbay that allows you to walk up & down the beach to other restaurants and bars. Well worth the price point and the house is air conditioned through out.

This home is very convenient to everything desired in West Bay and a short 6 min water taxi ride to west end to explore other side of Roatan Host was very accommodating to potential travel changes and removed the stress although it wasn’t needed at the end

Has everything you need perfect for families Nancy is an amazing cook and everyone who works there makes you feel very safe you won’t even need any activity’s with wanting to spend all day in the ocean the kids woke up early to spend every last second in the water which they were able to with the house being so close but if you do theyre activities at every corner of the beach and for food we loved to stay in our home to eat what Nancy prepared i loved the lobster it was very fresh!

Great stay at the Kennedy house It is staffed with the right people From the cleaning cooking and helping with outside setting Would strongly recommend this to any family reunion

Beautiful home with a superb location. Had all the things necessary for our family of 6. We loved the beach out front and enjoyed the deck each morning. The beds were very comfortable. We felt safe and had someone around the premises most days which was comforting. Next to many restaurants and a small store, finding food was easy and tasty. The hosts were responsive to any question I had. There were many recommendations of what to do. Omar was amazing to help with our plans - he suggested amazing options and navigated our plans to avoid the larger cruise ship crowds which came mid-week. Those days the beach was rather busy but before dinner it cleared out and was peaceful again. We found some of the beach vendors to be overly assertive and sometimes they camped out front of our private area but we’re also respectful. Overall the hosts and the house were amazing and I recommend this stay for anyone with a larger family. The island is amazing and beautiful.

Visited for 6 days with my brothers. Couldn’t ask for a better location! Can’t wait to visit with my wife and kids next year

Kennedy House is a jewel on West Bay, best location ever!. Right in front of the beach, close to excellent restaurants and scooba dive shops. The house is beautiful surrounded by palm tres and vegetation. The house has everything you need! The beds were super confortable, all rooms had A.C. Nancy and Obel were helpful at all times. Obel went above and beyond and got us fresh coconuts in the mornings to hidrate and eat. The transportation was waiting for us at the airport on time. Dario took us for a grocery run before helping us carry it all upstairs. I will say i like places that make me feel like im home, and that is how i felt at Casa Kennedy. Its a house, not a hotel. It has a North Carolina feel with its wooden floors and big terrace. I recommend this place and will come back !

Amazing stay the locals are beautiful, can easily catch a boat to where most of the bars are. The driver is awesome and knows a lot. Nancy the house keeper was amazing and food was fantastic.

This house is a gem! Not very many properties are by the beach in West Bay. The house is cozy and spacious, the beds were so comfy it was hard to get out of beds. Private “security guy” from 8-4, Abel, always helpful and such a nice person. Navy, the house keeper is simply the best! And an amazing cook so if you want to try home cooking, she can cook at the house and you will be DELIGHTED!! John was always responsive and Nance or Abel would always come within minutes whenever we needed anything. My friends and I want to come back over and over again Cucha

We had a great time with my family staying at this West Bay gem. It's a great pleasure to leave the house and have this beautiful white sand beach just a few steps away. The hosts are top notch, always on the lookout for everything. No doubt, we'll be back!

Hemos pasado unos días espectaculares con mi familia hospedados en esta joya de West Bay. Es un gran placer salir de la casa y tener esta playa tan bella de arena blanca a solo unos pasos. Los anfitriones son de alto nivel, siempre pendientes de todo. Sin duda alguna, volveremos!

This house is amazing and my family had a blast. We rented a car but I don’t think it was really necessary since you can walk a ton of great places or take the water taxi.

Absolutely fantastic stay for our family of 7! The location was perfect for walking to restaurants, bars, excursions and water taxis to go anywhere you’d like! Morning snorkeling on the reef (easy walking distance down the beach) was a great addition to our trip and eating meals surrounded by trees on the deck was fabulous. Transportation was set up by Maritza prior to our arrival and could not have been easier and Nancy was there to greet us immediately. Everyone agreed that our dinner with Nancy was the best meal of the trip and more than affordable! Could not recommend this place enough!!

great hosts.  awesome location.  loved the stay.

This is a great place.  My wife and I had a wonderful stay in April 2023.  The house is right on the beach, and is just as described.  We had a rental car, which made it easy to get around the island, but honestly, you have everything you need right there on the beach, including several great restaurants just steps away (we particularly liked the Argentinian Grill next door).  There is also a small convenience store right on the other side of Beachers Bar & Grill that has drinks and snacks (but it's not a full grocery store - think more like a 7/11).  The beach gets crowded when there are cruise ships in port, but here you have your own private place, and the beach returns to peaceful bliss in the afternoon when all the cruise ship tourists leave.  Very good communication with the hosts, who were very responsive throughout.

Casa Kennedy did not disappoint!  My family of three stayed here with two other couples and there was plenty of room to spread out and feel very comfortable. The beach, which is mere steps from the house, has to be the greatest spot up and down west bay because it is larger than most hotel and condo beaches. There are tons of local restaurants within steps and a convenience store less than a minute's walk up the beach.  Water taxis are right out in front and will take and pick you up from west end inexpensively.  The hosts were great, Omar and Dario drove us to and from the airport, stopped at the grocery store for us, and took us on other adventures.  Nancy was phenomenal.  Her cooking was out of this world! She prepared lunch and a couple of dinners for our group for a very reasonable price and then cleaned up so there was no work to be done...just sit back on the oversized deck and take in the views.  I could go on and on but just know that this really is the hidden gem of Roatan!

The home is lovely.  Great space in a busy location but with a quiet private yard that allows for wonderful breakfasts and dinners on the porch.  Small grocery two doors down to pick up necessities.  Loads of restaurants in walking distance, with water taxis on the beach right outside the front door to take you where you want to go.  Great snorkeling an easy walk away.  Beach chairs, floats, and an outdoor shower!  A wonderful place to stay!

What an amazing location!We brought our three kids in their twenties with their partners and had the best time! When we first arrived, although we knew it was on the beach, we couldn’t believe how beautiful the location actually was. My wife and I stayed downstairs and the kids and their partners stayed upstairs. Lots of space for all of us. The house itself is equipped with everything you need in the kitchen and downstairs kitchenette. The beds are comfortable. We turned the air on at night and that was sufficient. There were big bottles of water for drinking and brushing your teeth. The shower pressure was good. No issues with the internet . Use Omar and Dario for transportation! John and Maritza were always so responsive and excellent hosts. Thank you Maritza and John for welcoming us into your home.

excellent home! Beach Front! Maritza very attentive and quick attention! the rooms and bathrooms with everything you need! the super equipped kitchen, excellent place to go with friends or family! 10 of 10

excelente casa! frente a la playa! Maritza muy atenta y atención rápida! los cuartos y los baños con todo lo necesario! la cocina super equipada, excelente lugar para ir con amigos o familia! 10 de 10

Not a negative review. I am going to offer a honest informative review. The location is great. The shade on the property offers some relief from the sun. The privacy helps slightly deter the bombardment of vendors walking the beach. That being said. The place is priced at a point that for the location you are giving up several amenities. Positives: Proximity to beach, restaurants, snorkeling, jet skis, dive shops, and water taxis A water cooler was provided with extra jugs available. AC in bedrooms worked well. Large portable fan available. Beds were comfortable. We are used to sleep number, and were satisfied for a week stay. There were basic seasonings, pots/pans, silverware, plates, bowls, and cups. Deck is partly covered and a great place to hangout and eat or have some drinks. Fridge was cold and kept ice frozen. Omar is great and can help you with most any needs. Nancy is hard to communicate with if you do not speak Spanish, but she was helpful and cooked for us several times. Her food was great. Areas of Improvement: You are not able to flush TP. There are two beat up flip up garbage cans where you are instructed to place the soiled TP. As the listing sates there is AC only in the bedrooms. There are notes around the house explaining that you can only use so much electricity for your stay or be charged an extra amount. The rest of the house is virtually unbearable to be in. (use the deck or beach). The house is in need of a great deal of TLC. (That is why it is in the price point your are looking). Poor lighting Water pressure in the showers is terrible. Windows are very thin. Cracked tiles and walls Rickety furniture Water was not softened (smells and tastes bad, we did not drink or brush our teeth with it) A back up generator was not available to keep the power on during frequent island power outages. Bottom line: It is not a resort and therefore will not have 4-5 star hotel accommodations. The house is dated and needs TLC. However the location, number of beds, and price point make it desirable.

Casa Kennedy was amazing.  Never wanted to leave.  It has the most well equipped kitchen I have ever been in for a rental.  Everything worked great.. rooms were super comfortable with really great beds and air conditioning.  Lots of space , location was excellent.. private within a very public place.  Next to great dinning and entertainment. Has a bbq ready to use, floats for the ocean.  Loads of towels. It felt like home .. didn’t want to leave ever!

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Kennedy.  It’s a lovely, spacious home with a beautiful private beach area.  We’ll really miss sitting on the huge shaded deck in the mornings and evenings - there’s no better way to start and end your day on beautiful West Bay beach.

Location, location, location. Just can’t beat it. The house itself was dated and in some cases used up. Don’t go in with huge expectations for total comfort.

If you want the Ritz or the Four Seasons this is not the place for you . . . however, if you want a home on the beach with outstanding porches and the sea breeze, then you should pause and take a look at Casa Kennedy. You are going to get a lot more living space than the resorts permit, and you can still swing on by a handful of resorts to grab a mojito and cooling swim (we did not face any objections when we also bought drinks at the resort bar). . . did I say private hammocks on the upper porch? Perfect for the afternoon siesta nap . . . - excellent restaurant, bar, pool, and diving options are within walking distance - we ended up using a dive center that picked us up with their dive boat from the West End - this meant we were diving without the resort crowds from the West Bay . . . we saw boats going out with easily more than a dozen divers from West Bay, and we would head out with four (most of the time) or six divers - something to consider - don't disregard the potential for the housekeeper/cook Nancy - while prices are subject to change, we paid $25 + ingredients for b'fast for four, and $40 + ingredients for dinner for four - we asked for traditional Honduran style meals and she was exceptionally good (and we are all foodies) - also, after a dive, we purchased a just caught 10lb snapper from some local fisherman (cleaning it a few docks away), and Nancy cooked that up for us with an afternoon's notice on the same day - it was exceptional . . . and the Key Lime pie to follow was superb (being from Miami, I have eaten a few fresh fish and key lime pies over the last 5 decades) - the communication from Maritza and John was timely, instructive, and to the point - very helpful tips and tricks - this is their home, so take advantage of it (we did, several times) - we felt safe the entire time, the primary security guard for the area sits maybe 10 yards from the property line when not making circuits of the area, even at night (most resorts had their own security as well, and often a couple of security folks were visible at all times). - the AC does not run the entire time, just in the bedrooms in the evening, for some folks in the summer time that may present a challenge, but grab your hat and take a plunge in the ocean or a nearby pool - we also found the ocean breeze outside on the expansive upper deck quite pleasant - you may know about the mosquitoes, but beware the sand fleas and get yourself a bug repellant infused with plant oils like "Repel 94109 HG-94109 Lemon Eucalyptus Natural Insect" - Just go

The best place to book if you stay in Roaton! The location was everything! And the place makes you feel like VIP on the beach. We will definitely be back!

We had a great time! John and Maritza were great Hosts. Location was awesome! Definitely would stay here again. It's a place you have to stay at least once in your lifetime.  You have the opportunity to live out one of your dreams! The residents of the island were very friendly. The snorkeling was awesome! Close to the airport. Nancy prepared some great authentic meals. Omar was a gentleman and was always there to take us where we wanted to go.

John and Maritza were fabulous hosts.  We’ve been traveling to Roatan for 7 years and this was our first airbnb.   The location is perfect and the hosts were extremely responsive to questions and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable! Nancy is a gem, she cooked some wonderful island fare and took care of other requests (for additional cost but well worth every penny!).

We enjoyed our stay at John and Maritza’s place. Oh…my goodness! The location is fantastic!!!! It was absolutely the best spot on that beach. The crowds mostly stayed in front of their own resorts and so the beach in front of John and Maritza’s place was mostly free of people save for a few passing by or maybe sitting for a short time. It was pretty cool to look down the beach and see the crowds somewhere other than right in front of our location! …Amazing! Loved that part! There are restaurants and coffee and ice cream all with in walking distance! Totally fantastic…. Of course keep in mind that with these venues so close you can also hear music and laughter late into the night. So if you like to get to bed at a decent time you might want to bring some ear plugs or….. just ignore it like we did. ☺️ The home itself is a little on the older side and not fancy. But it met our needs. John and Maritza are excellent host and their communication with us was great. At one point we had a few issues with the internet and also the power went out a couple times. John and Maritza was very apologetic and treated us very well. Nancy’s is sweetheart and her cooking is delicious! Ask for her lobster and lemon meringue pie! Yummy! Thank you, John and Maritza! We enjoyed our stay!

We just got back to the U.S. today after staying at Casa Kennedy for 9 nights. Pretty sure you cannot get any better for location. It is on West Bay right next to your choice of bars and restaurants as well as water taxis and amazing snorkeling! It was so awesome to just grab our floaties and drinks and step out to the water and hang out all day! Also, just down the beach is amazing reef snorkeling! Maritza was super quick to answer us any time we had questions and/or would get in touch with Nancy for us. Nancy is super awesome and helpful too! We would absolutely come stay here again as it worked out perfectly for our group of 8.

My wife and myself with our 3 adult children stayed here for 11 days and it was awesome beyond belief. John and Maritza do live up to their Super host status. They were so Accommodating with any issue we had. Omar and Dario were excellent tour guides. They really know there stuff about the island and they were always there when we needed them. Then there is Nancy. She had the place looking awesome when we arrived and helped use get situated. She also did laundry for us when we needed it for a reasonable rate. One night we had her cook a dinner for us and it was incredible. So with all that said I could go on. But the last thing that blew our minds was the location. So beautiful and beyond tropical. I took over 200 pics and I keep showing anyone who will look. I recommend this house a 1000%.

Had a great time at Casa Kennedy! Dario was great - he picked us up from the airport and brought us back to the airport after our vacation. We also had him drive us out for a ziplining tour. He was always very punctual and friendly. Nancy was also great - we had her prepare a meal for us and it was delicious! The location of this house can't be beat - right in the middle of everything. The beach was absolutely gorgeous and the snorkeling was stellar. The house had plenty of space and everything we needed. Highly recommend!

This is the most beautiful spot on West Bay.  A private white sand beach and a big beautiful garden with trees for privacy and shade. The hosts were great. We brought our whole family and there was plenty of room for everyone in this beautiful house.  We enjoyed the beach and time on the deck and hammocks, went deep sea fishing, the kids danced and sang karaoke at Beachers, we snorkeled, swam with dolphins, had pizza at Bananarama's, ziplined, held sloths and monkeys...what a wonderful family vacation.

This house is in the PERFECT location! It's in the middle of everything and we loved that we have our own little private beach area. One of the best things about the house is Nancy! We had her make us a fabulous lobster dinner and it was so delicious that we hired her again to make us our last dinner and it was very tasty. Nancy goes above and beyond and was always very responsive. She even got me a birthday cake! The driver was also great and gave us great recommendations. I highly recommend this house and we hope to come back again soon!

Beautiful house in a location that can't be beat!

This house is amazing! You can have privacy but still be close to everything. You will have plenty of space, a beautiful view, and a private beach. Nancy is a bonus she is a great cook and will help you with anything you need.

Nice, clean and spacious house in a perfect location on West Bay.  Right on the beach and an easy walk to multiple restaurants and activities.

Casa Kennedy is a fantastic location - on the water with private beach, easy access to nearby restaurants, bars, and water taxi for a quick trip  to West End for a sunset bite and beverage at Sundowner or the amazing Ibigari, or to Mares for snorkeling or dive gear shopping.  Omar our driver was wonderful, and Nancy and her lovely daughter made a Honduran birthday dinner complete with cake for my husband.  We zip-lined, visited a rescue for sloths, and Aaron took our party of 7 for a full day of fishing, snorkeling, and water tour around the island.  He is a great guy and super fun!  We also appreciated the 24 hr. Security provided.  Thank you Casa Kennedy for a memorable vacation!
