2BR bungalow in Palmetto Bay

Roatan-Beach Front Bungalow, Great Location, w/AC - Bungalows for Rent in Palmetto Bay, Bay Islands Department, Honduras

Our stay at Gloria’s bungalow in Palmetto Bay was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I were traveling for my 40th birthday and we appreciate all that Gloria and her house manager, Salome, did for us to make the trip special. They even located a free and clear laundry detergent on the island for us due to my skin allergies which meant so much. The bungalow truly has everything that you need to enjoy paradise. The Palmetto Bay area is a bit quieter and centrally located so we were able to explore the island with ease in a rental car. We absolutely loved having the paddleboards and being able to explore right off the beach at the bungalow. Roatan, its people, the sunsets, snorkeling and the food are such wonderful memories. Can’t wait to visit again!

We loved that you chose to celebrate with us.  Thank you so     much for this wonderful review.  We can't wait for your next visit.  Let's celebrate 41 together ; )

We absolutely LOVED this place. The location is amazing, the community is great, the house is comfortable and well stocked with what you need (thank you for the insect repellent), restaurant and dive shop right there. We came to dive and it couldn't have been more convenient. Gloria is an amazing host who answered my millions of questions and helped me organize our trip. Can't say enough, look forward to our next visit! Only hiccup was Apple Maps couldn't get us there, so use Google maps and you're good to go.

We loved hosting you and so glad you had a wonderful time! Come back to see us again 🌴

Second time staying at Gloria’s this year and we cannot say enough great things about this house. It is stunning and right by the community pool and restaurant, but still very private. Feels just like home the minute you arrive- we love love love it!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for coming back to see us again. Hope to see you again 🌴

Our family had an amazing stay at Gloria’s beach house! It truly felt like a home away from home. The ocean views, easy water access, and peaceful location made it the perfect place for our family to relax. The house was incredibly well stocked with everything we needed, including plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, reusable water bottles (which I forgot to bring!), snorkel gear, kayaks, and board games. When we had an issue with a pan, Gloria replaced it immediately. She was always responsive and shared excellent tips about the island before we arrived. We rented a car from Avis, as she recommended, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Don’t worry if the forecast shows rain every day, it comes and goes quickly and never affected our vacation. Thank you, Gloria, for helping us create wonderful family memories. We highly recommend your beautiful home!

Thank you for the wonderful review!  We really appreciate it and hope you'll come back soon.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The home is beautiful, spotless, and equipped with everything needed to feel comfortable, including a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals. The location is truly special, right on a stunning beach within a small, private community. The area feels secluded and peaceful since the amenities are reserved for residents and guests only. We loved taking long walks along the beach, exploring the crystal-clear water, and spotting fish, crabs, and other marine life right from the shoreline. If you're looking for a relaxing beachfront escape away from the crowds, this is the perfect place. We loved every minute of our stay and would gladly return. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Thank you for this wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us. Come back and see us soon.

Wonderful experience all around. Gloria is a phenomenal host and Salome the property manager was so nice and friendly. Both were so responsive and provided such great recommendations! We truly enjoyed our stay. The resort area is beautiful and quiet. We loved having the pool we could walk to right next door (great food and drinks there too) and the beach we could walk on at any time. We really enjoyed spending time in the porch in the mornings and evenings. Everyone at the resort is so friendly and welcoming. We also really liked the brewery that’s just a few min down the road. Great food and drinks there as well! We really had everything we would ever need for a week long stay in Roatan. Only thing I would caution anyone (as others have mentioned) is that if you are a mosquito magnet, you will definitely need bug spray while sitting out on the porch. Would stay here again!

Thank you for this wonderful review. So glad you enjoyed your visit! Come back and see us again 🌴

Beautiful place and absolutely stunning. Right on the beach and felt private and safe. We are already looking to book again!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Can’t wait to see you again 🌴

Fantastic place, nice and quiet, good on-site dive shop. About 30-40 minutes from West End in about 15 minutes from French key.  Would definitely stay again.

Thank you for this great review! We appreciate you.

Gloria's home was a wonderful oasis.  House is beautifully located right on the water with no obstructed view.   Per Gloria's recommendations we enjoyed an in home chef and masseuse which were great. Scuba diving arrangements were convenient and outdoor shower was delightfully warm. Highly recommend...we will be back.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Can’t wait for your next visit 🌴

Gloria was so wonderful to work with. The villa is located in such a perfect spot with no obstructions blocking the beautiful view. We were connected with Salome, our local person, before we arrived.  She helped with organizing scuba lessons for my husband, & arranged pickup at the airport to get groceries & then to the villa.  Thank you Davis! The villa is so well appointed with everything you may need & then-some. Little book with tips & information to make your stay at the island memorable. A little hiccup with Netflix & they were on phone right away with a fix! It would be lovely to keep this little gem all to ourselves, but telling everyone we know will bring us much more joy!  Go! Stay at The Little Beach House By The Sea!!! You will have no regrets!!

Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us and this wonderful review!!! We hope you’ll come back and see us soon 🌴

Beautiful home with an amazing beach view. Nice restaurant next door & a lovely neighborhood for long walks. Gloria was so kind & super quick to respond to all my questions!! 🩷

Thank you for this wonderful review!  We appreciate you and hope you'll come back to see us again.

All I have to say is awesome!!! Great location, secure and private, beautiful house, amazing community!!! Gloria does it right. I've been to many airbnbs and was really impressed. Just as described, stocked with all the essentials and a very responsive and friendly host.

So fun hosting your beautiful family! Thank you for the wonderful review and come back and see us soon🌴

Gloria made our family feel right at home! The beach house was stunning and more than we could have asked for. The location is convenient to travel to both ends of the island, but if you don’t want to, it’s perfect to stay right there the entire time. I cannot say enough about the communication and recommendations by both Gloria and her local helper, Salome. My suitcase was lost for 5 days and Salome sent me to a very cost efficient (and AWESOME!) place to get a few things while I waited. Gloria also sent recommendations of restaurants and various things to do on our trip. 10/10 experience and we would LOVE to stay here again!

Thank you so much for this great review!  We love that you enjoyed your time with us.  We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Little House by the Sea is an amazing place to stay.  From the beautiful views, to the amazingly well stocked home with fantastic amenities to the pool right next door and even the island dogs, the entire stay was amazing. Gloria is an amazing host and has thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as your own home.  The beds and linens were amazing, the kitchen is well stocked for anything you need to cook and the porch sitting and views are excellent. Salome the property manager was available for any needs we had even helping to arrange transport to and from the airport as well as touring the island. The Cove restaurant next door has delicious food and friendly staff. The Brewery is walkable with good food and drinks as well. Eldon’s supermarket is a short ride and has anything you’d need for your vacation. Highly recommend this host as well as her home. Go ahead and book, you won’t be disappointed.

Thank you for this wonderful review.  We appreciate you. Looking forward to your next visit.

Gloria’s cottage served as the perfect home away home for my family of 4 for 10 days.  We enjoyed the ocean front location views and the comfort the cottage offered.  There is a restaurant next door and Palmetto Bay served as the perfect central location to explore the rest of the island.  Very peaceful!  Glorious is  also an excellent  host— very responsive and helpful.

We enjoyed having you stay with us! Thank you for the wonderful review and hope to see you again 🏝️

visited late june-mid july 2025.  She really has a spectacular place thats quite literally 50ft from the water.   a wonderful deck to hangout on with a view of that water.  the palmetto bay community pool is also literally 50ft away.  There is a Dive shop that is right there where you can learn how to scuba.  the roatan brewery is right outside the community and has wonderful food/drink.  Her place is centrally located on the island so you can go west to the more touristy areas - beaches, restaurants, shops, snorkeling locations.  Or you can go east towards camp bay beach and oakridge.  her place has all the amenities you could ask for, her AC systems work great, big fridge, everything you need to make meals at home.  Gloria is incredibly welcoming and always available to chat.  BRING BUG SPRAY and be prepared to use it liberally.  there is a mosquito and noseeum issue (at least when we were there) and the wind + deck fans arent enough to keep them away entirely if youre on the deck.

Thank you so much for this great review!!! Come back and see us again!

This charming beach bungalow is situated right on the sand in a beautiful cove. We enjoyed quiet mornings on the front porch with a spectacular view of the ocean, cooled by overhead fans. The beds and furniture were very comfortable and exactly as described. It is right next to the clubhouse and pool. There is a grocery store about 15 minutes away. The busier parts of the island are about 30 minutes away. We loved being in this peaceful spot and hope to return!

Thank you for this wonderful review and for choosing to stay with us. Come back and see us again 🏝️

What a beautiful and comfortable beach house! We had a relaxing and lovely stay in Gloria’s gorgeous house right on the beach. Set up perfectly for two couples with every thing you might need provided by a friendly, warm and responsive host! Seaside relaxation at its finest!

Thank you so much for this great review.  We appreciate you.  Come back and see us again.

Gloria’s place is beautiful! The sea view, the tranquil feel, I really loved this home! Salome was very accommodating and knowledgeable, a great resource to have. I would love to come back! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review!  Come see us again!

Location of bungalow was unbeatable. Private, close to beach, pool and on-site restaurant. Local residents and Richard who works at the bar/restaurant is super friendly and even helped arrange a taxi for us for an offsite excursion. The bungalow comes fully stocked with water coolers for drinking or for cooking. That was a plus since we didn’t have to purchase water. Only negative is the sand flies (no see ums)-you have to spray for them during early AM & PM hours. The resort does spray for them-and didn’t ruin our trip. Enjoyed our stay in Palmetto Bay.

Great bungalow for our week in Roatan!  Perfect size and beautiful setting for our family of three.  Kitchen had all the necessities, comfortable beds, nice bathrooms and cozy living room. Porch was also great with an amazing view. We went all over the island and location was perfect. Took about 25 minutes to get to west end, a few minutes longer to west bay.  Took a day trip to camp bay, about an hour drive time. Eldon’s in French Harbor was also close. Gloria was a great host. Very responsive and helpful. Would definitely book again!

Thank you for this great review! We appreciate you and hope you’ll come back and see us again 🏝️

Wonderful location!  House amenities were great!  Very clean and comfortable! View was beautiful and location near dive shop was so helpful!

We appreciate your great review!  Come see us again 🏝️

I cannot say enough good things about this place.  Exactly as described.  Palmetto Bay is a fantastic location for a quiet and peaceful vacation.  The Cove Restaurant is awesome and 50 yards away.  The crew at the dive shop, shout out to Jackie, Erik and Carlos,  weee great.  We will be back.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Come back soon!

Paradise in Palmetto! Gloria's home in Palmetto Bay is truly a slice of heaven on earth. Amenities and Thoughtful Touches Perfectly appointed: The house had everything we needed and more. Little details that matter: Filtered water, sunscreen, and bug repellant were provided, showing the owners' thoughtfulness. Great kitchen: Well-equipped for those who love to cook while on vacation. Location, Location, Location! Beachfront: Step right onto the sand from your doorstep. Next to the pool: Perfect for alternating between salt water and fresh water swims. Right by the dive shop: Ideal for scuba enthusiasts. Comfort Comfortable beds: Ensuring a good night's sleep after a day of island adventures. Overall Experience This home provided the perfect base for our Roatan getaway.

Thank you, Emi for this wonderful review! We loved hosting you and your daughters. Please come back and see us soon.🏝️

Gloria was a wonderful host and we will definitely be back to Palmetto Bay and the Little House by the Sea. The house was so comfortable, was beautifully furnished, had a beach view from the kitchen and living room, and only steps away from the beach! I’m pretty sure we stayed during low season because we felt like we had the beach all to ourselves!! We wanted a relaxing vacation, and this was the perfect house that! Our teenage kids loved fishing, swimming by the pier, paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkeling right in the bay!! Thank you so much for hosting us, Gloria!

Diana and her family were wonderful to host. Very clean and great communication. Welcomed back anytime 🏝️

We really enjoyed the home and our stay. The house was great location. We loved sitting on the front porch every morning and evening (amazing view). The host had great communication throughout. The home had a lot of extras to make your stay comfortable. Hopefully, we will be back one day.

Thank you, Danna! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to see you again.

The villa is gorgeous! The value for the money can’t be beat. This Airbnb would be worth thousands easily in Bali or the Bahamas- and has the same beautiful surroundings! The paddles boards and kayak were so much fun! We loved the on-site dive shop and used them several times. We rented a car and drove around West. bay and West End- Palmetto Bay was much better in my opinion. My husband has a heat sensitivity and got a little too much sun on the third day. I contacted UNIMED Health Systems. They were able to travel to the villa at 9pm with a Physician and nurse. The base fee was $90 for the visit and after several bags of IV fluids the total was $230. It was absolutely worth it and so appreciated for their quick response and my husband felt so much better. This was a fantastic stay! Comfy beds and sofa. The Apple TV was also awesome and speedy WiFi. Highly recommend!!

Thank you so much for this great review! We look forward to your next visit.

Gloria's beachside bungalow is absolutely perfect! The pictures portray exactly what the property is - beautiful. The home is clean, comfortable and has everything you need: beach gear, snorkeling equipment, paddleboards, kayak, chairs, etc. She thought of everything you may need. The beds and linens were also super comfortable - and I am very picky. The location can't be beat. I felt safe in the gated community as well as the neighboring areas. We rented a car and enjoyed exploring the island from the central location. It is close to West End for shopping and a faster pace and easy to come back to relax and enjoy the quiet community. The on sight dive shop staff was amazing! The on sight restaurant food was absolutely delicious and the staff was always friendly. The brewery is within walking distance and offers a beautiful setting to enjoy food and drinks. I highly recommend this home for anyone wanting a perfect island getaway.

Kelly, Thank you so much for your wonderful review.  We appreciate it and you.  Come back and see us anytime!

I am diligent researcher when it comes to picking our next tropical getaway. Gloria's place almost seemed too perfect to be true, but it was exactly as described and photographed. A beautiful resort without the feel of a touristy resort. One could stay completely disconnected or enjoy the restaurant/bar/pool/ocean and meet other guests or longtime residents. Gloria's place is beautifully and comfortably decorated and furnished. We have been staying in many Airbnb's across the Caribbean, but none as perfectly homey as this one. There was not a thing we would have changed, if it was ours. The beds were extremely comfortable and appreciated the soap, shampoo and conditioner. We cooked every breakfast and dinner at the house, as we wanted to be at our pace and timing and didn't miss a thing to be efficient! The water dispenser was highly appreciated and so was the TV set-up, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, sunscreen and bug spray. Don't hesitate, book it, it is perfect!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review!  We appreciate you and hope you'll come back and see us again.

Gloria was extremely helpful right from the start. She was very prompt and responsive. Every question she was willing and able to answer. She was also able to get us in touch with the right locals for all of our needs during our stay. The property is very well defined in the listing, but one thing Gloria can’t list is how welcoming and friendly the community is! The cove staff was outstanding. The local residents were incredible! From sharing their stories, to their own recommendations, even to apologizing about the weather (which they have no control over!). The Dive shop on site is also top notch! They were incredible. You can book numerous water activities right there, and if they can’t do it - the onsite reception desk can help! The entire stay was very peaceful, and a true vacation from our normal lives. Would 100% stay here again!

Thank you for this great review! We look forward to your next visit!

This was a great location, right on the beach. Very family friendly. Security was excellent and felt very safe. We rented a car and everywhere was easy to get to.

Gloria's place is perfectly situated within the Palmetto Bay grounds right on the beach (less than minute walk straight across sand into colorful ocean) and just adjacent to the Cove Restaurant and pool and to us it felt like we were centerstage front row in Roatan for our 9 day Anniversary get away. The beach and grounds were kept up daily by a friendly crew and the inside of the house had everything necessary to feel right at home. The patio deck did not disappoint as it boasted a full ocean panoramic view creating a peaceful feeling with a hilly rain forest behind you and the sandy beach and ocean waves crashing in front view.

Thank you for this wonderful review! We hope you’ll come back and see us again.

We had the most amazing stay at Gloria’s beach house in Palmetto Bay. As shown in the photos, it is located right on the beach just steps from the water, so we had a lovely view of the Caribbean Sea from the front porch. The home was beautifully decorated, clean, and had all the essentials to make our stay comfortable. Communication with both Gloria and Salome was timely and very helpful. The pool is right beside the house as well is the Cove restaurant where we enjoyed some very delicious food and drinks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this home to anyone we know coming to Roatan!

Thank you so much for this great review! We appreciate it! Hope to see you again!
