Where the Jungle Meets The Beach! Elevated on a 100-foot hill behind the beach, Casa Tranquila has one of the nicest views in the entire Palmetto Bay community, while also being very private. From our 1000+ square foot private deck, with private pool and hot tub, we have expansive ocean views, looking both west and north, as well as a picturesque overlook of the sloping hill below. TRANQUILA (slang for 'chill out')! The space Palmetto Bay is the only private eco beach communities of it's kind on Roatan. Located on the picture perfect north shore and mid-island, where you will find the most beautiful kaleidoscope of turquoise and blue sea colors, unique to Roatan. Our home, TRANQUILA, finished in early 2023, was designed to maximize our lot's privacy and views. Island feel meets modern amenities; we have paid close attention to details. Our goal was to blend the typical high-ceiling Roatan home design with more modern construction techniques and 'boutique-style' finishes. We are nestled within the jungle canopy on a private 1-acre lot, at the edge of a 100-foot tall bluff that overlooks the crystal-blue waters and reef of Palmetto Bay. Our villa's great room boasts 22-foot ceilings with a 24 foot wide sliding glass door that opens directly onto a large private deck with our private and secluded pool and hot tub, and gorgeous views of the reef and ocean. The main bedroom opens onto the deck and has a private bathroom with custom-built closets and a king bed. We have a second bedroom that also opens onto the deck, on the other side of the home, with custom closets and a king bed. The third bedroom shares the exterior guest bathroom with the second and has a queen and twin in a spacious setting. On the ground floor, we have a second family room/game room and a fourth bedroom with the queen bed. Guest access The entire home is accessible, other than a few locked owner storage areas. Other things to note Egyption and portuguese cotton bedding, high quality mattresses and pillows, custom furniture made in Honduras, modern finishes and appliances, cast iron cookware is the approach we have taken. We want our guests to enjoy the same quality that we enjoy. NOTE: If there are only 2 guests and thus you would not be using the guest bedrooms, guest air conditioning, etc. I can consider a price reduction. The A/C in the guest rooms would be locked off. I can also disable the hot tub and reduce the price further, if desired.

## Overview

4 bed, Private Pool+Spa, Ocean view : Roatan - Villas for Rent in Palmetto Bay, Bay Islands Department, Honduras

What a gift this home was during our recent visit to Roatan. It was the perfect base for exploring at our own pace, and for my young adults to dive. Returning to this beautiful space with vaulted ceilings, beautiful floors, tastefully decorated rooms, whimsical artwork, and a beautiful deck as an outdoor space was a great way to recharge. Our favorite pastimes were playing pool, wading in the pool, and enjoying the views from the outdoor deck. The birder in our family loved watching the hummingbirds who fed on the beautiful flowers and his homemade sugar water. We even spotted a pair of yellow-naped parrots. The kitchen has everything you need for coffee, smoothies, and cooking any meal. Both bathrooms are beautiful. My husband and I absolutely loved using the outdoor shower, especially after our morning runs/walks. We loved the location, which is central to getting to West Bay (30 min), Wed End (20-25 min), and East End (50 min). Finally, the dive shop Scuba Roatan is right

Thank you so much for your nice words and I’m really glad that you enjoyed our home!!

Casa Tranquila was simply amazing. My wife and I have stayed all over the island and there is no where else we would rather stay. This home is absolutely beautiful with stunning jungle and ocean views. If you want a place where you feel like you have the entire area to yourself yet close enough to all the activities then this is the place for you. A short beautiful walk through the jungle and you find yourself at what feels like your own private beach. We couldn’t have felt more comfortable staying here and the home had every amenity you could ask for. Tom, Andrea and their property manager Carolina were extremely attentive and made sure we had everything we needed to make sure our stay was comfortable. We rarely leave reviews but this was one worth reviewing. I can’t recommend this home enough!

Wow, what a nice review. Thank you so much for taking the time to share!!

What a wonderful place. The beach, brewery, and restaurant all within 3 minutes of the house. The house was incredible. We loved the space, the pool, the view, the landscaping; it was all amazing. Thomas was very responsive and Carolina, the property manager, was an absolute treasure. She was there for us anytime we needed anything. This was a truly awesome home.

Thank you for the kind words Evan!!!  Glad you enjoyed the stay.

We have stayed in over 70 Airbnbs around the world and it is safe to say, Thomas’s place stands out as the best. The whole experience, personalization of the space, and overall comfort played a huge role. The whole family was happy, and the attention to detail just really made it feel like we could properly relax. Hope to be back again soon!!

What an amazing review!!  Andrea and I are humbled that you loved the place as much as we do and we couldn’t do it without our fantastic manager/concierge, Carolina!!

Pretty fancy modern house up on the hill. Lots of hummingbirds coming by and an occasional parrot! There are only two bathrooms, but we managed OK with 10 people. Electricity was included, which was a bonus compared to some other places we've stayed in Roatan. beautiful art on the walls and very nice furniture.

Awesome place to stay!  Beautiful house, beautiful location.  We couldn’t ask for any better. Thomas’s place was well stocked with everything you would ever need.

Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed our home!

We just stayed a week at Thomas's place with a family ages 6-70 and we all had an amazing time. the place is safe, comfortable and very easy to feel at home in. Carolina helped us pre stock the house and was there to meet us. the community beach and pool were prestine and we meet so many of the great people that call Palmetto Bay home! Highly recommend Thomas's place if you want a great place to stay on Roatan!

I’m glad you had such a good time at Palmetto Bay and thank you for a nice review!

Great location! Private and secure. Beautiful house!

This is a beautiful home. It’s clear they take great care of it. It’s fully stocked, is surrounded by beautiful scenery, and accurately portrayed…but even nicer in person!

Thank you for your kind words Craig!  The home is a bit of a passion project for us and we try to leave the amenities that we personally would want, eg. high quality bed, bath and kitchen, beach chairs, patio furniture, etc.    I'm glad you enjoyed your time there!

Amazing home, Amazing beach, Amazing location, Amazing host. Thomas' home was perfect for our week stay. We've stayed in a variety of places on the island and this was the best for everything you'd want. The house is very well equipped with everything you need. The private beach is large and beautiful. Thomas and Carolina were so helpful if we needed help with ANYTHING. And the hummingbirds were the best. Definitely would stay again and recommend.

Amazing review!!  I’m so happy you enjoyed it. Thank you!

One of my favorite places on earth!  Wonderful property, great diving and so very peaceful!

This place is a gem! It’s quiet, safe and exactly like the pictures and description. It exceeded our expectations!

Thank you so much for the kind review and I’m glad that you enjoyed the stay!

Omg we stayed here for a week.Tom is a great owner.Helped me with so many questions I had about my 1st visit to Roatan. Very friendly and recommendations were spot on. Absolutely fell in love with the house soon as I walked in. Carolina met us and showed us around the house.Carolina was super nice and helpful with every and anything I would ask. Waking up and having my morning cup outside listening to all the birds talk was huge delight for me. Master bathroom was highlight for me. Hot big walk in shower.I felt right at home. We cooked breakfast every morning. Few times grilled steaks & pork chops. My older kids loved ping pong table and their own hang out spot watching tv downstairs. House is huge. We had 5 adults & 1 teenager. We always felt super safe with security guards 24hrs and they even patrolled at night. 2 mins from local Brewery. We was close to everything but far enough to enjoy The Peace.Highly Recommend. We def will be back!

Thank you for being such a great guest, helping out with the cleaning and leaving everything in perfect condition!  Thank you for a nice review!

The accommodation was just perfect – it really left nothing to be desired. Everything was sparkling clean, furnished to a high standard and furnished with a lot of love for detail. We were particularly impressed by the beautiful views and the real feel-good moments. We felt completely comfortable and can 100% recommend this accommodation. Thank you for a great stay – we will be happy to come back!

Die Unterkunft war einfach perfekt – sie ließ wirklich keine Wünsche offen. Alles war blitzsauber, hochwertig ausgestattet und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Besonders die schöne Aussicht hat uns begeistert und für echte Wohlfühlmomente gesorgt. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und können diese Unterkunft zu 100 % weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt – wir kommen gerne wieder!

We had a terrific stay at Thomas’ place! We’ve stayed at over 70 Air Bnbs in multiple countries and this was one of our absolute favorites! The pool was perfect and the views were stunning. Thomas had incredible restaurant suggestions! We especially loved Cal’s and Luna Muna! Also highly recommend a massage from spa baan suerte- we arranged for them to come to the air bnb! Super clean linens, comfy king bed, all the cooking essentials you need. The community was private and safe and an easy walk to the beach. Highly recommend! Thank you Thomas and Carolina! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My wife and I enjoyed our week stay.  Would definitely stay again.

This Airbnb was more than a place to stay … it was an experience. We visited all of Tom’s excellent recommendations but we were eager to get back to our Palmetto Bay paradise. It truly is designed for peace and privacy and takes full advantage of the magnificent jungle and ocean views. It is located only 15 minutes from the airport and is centrally located to visit the whole island with ease. There were several excellent restaurants easily accessible. The Palmetto Bay diving experience was outstanding! Tom thought of every small detail to make our stay super comfortable. Both Carolina and Tom were extremely easy to communicate with and responded to all questions very quickly. 5 +++ stars for this Palmetto Bay gem!! Absolutely one of our favorite Airbnb’s in the World.

So glad that you enjoyed it as much as we do!!

This home was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in.  Not only was it beautiful inside and out, but it was very private as well.  We also felt 100% safe staying here.  The home had ever amenity we needed and was super comfortable.  The host was extremely communicative whenever we had a question. Lastly, Palmetto Bay seemed like a lovely and safe  gated community with an awesome beach and restaurant. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat!❤️

Our group felt comfortable and safe. We enjoyed the privacy and quiet of this residential community.  The view from the balcony of the ocean and trees is gorgeous. We particularly enjoyed the hummingbirds flitting about. It’s a very short distance (walkable) to the beach, Scuba Roatán, and a couple of restaurants. Thomas and Carolina were communicative and helpful leading up to our trip and throughout our stay. They also had excellent recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area. (Special shoutout to the private chef that was recommended to us. Everything Jennie prepared was phenomenal).

I’m glad you took advantage of Jennie’s private Chef Services. It’s one of our favorite things to do when we are there!

We loved the stay and found the house well equiped, clean and the beds were perfect. It was hard to leave.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for being a great guest and taking care of our home!

Our family of 7 had a wonderful time here. The house is bright and clean and very well supplied - modern space with a wonderful view to the ocean. Thomas had great communication ahead of the stay, including sending along a file of recommendations and tips. Carolina met us for check in and was always available for questions during our stay. Would highly recommend.

We can't say enough great things about this place!  It was everything we had hoped for and more!  The house was absolutely beautiful and had everything we needed (and more) - they really thought of everything a guest might need or want!  Carolina (on site manager) was extremely responsive and provided some great recommendations (check out Live Bait Tours for boat excursions!)  We LOVED our week on Roatan - scuba diving, snorkeling, boat excursions around the East end, Mangrove tunnels and canals, ziplining, excellent dining etc! Highly recommend staying here!!!

Our family of 5 stayed for 10 days in this spectacular house. The house had every amenity you'd want and more. The host thought of every detail to make the stay incredibly comfortable and easy. The host and house manager answered my questions before and during the stay immediately. Their recommendations for restaurants and places to visit were spot on too.  We didn't want to leave! It was an incredible stay, I would highly recommend Tom's house.

Really glad you enjoyed our house and Roatan,  thanks for being responsible and respectful guests!

Fantastic home, great breezes, views and sunsets.  We love the restaurant and the dive shop is beyond amazing.  Sad to leave!!!

3rd times a charm Debbie, when you booking next?  LOL.  Glad you enjoyed.

Exceeded our expectations! Beautiful view and very peaceful.  Perfect size pool for lounging and cooling off. Dream kitchen with all the bells and whistles that are so nice to have when you’re on vacation. Walking distance to community pool and dock. Swinging in the hammocks next to the beach was a treat. Highly recommend for couples, families, or a guy or gals trip.

What a perfect spot for our family vacation! Thomas and the house manager, Carolina had everything in place and ready for our week long stay in Palmetto Bay, Honduras. They were both responsive and helpful, before and during our stay! The people of Roatan are beautiful and gracious, we loved getting to know some of them during our stay. We snorkeled with the sharks, went deep sea fishing and had relaxing massages (on site) all while enjoying the comforts of Casa Tranquila. The kitchen is fully stock and Eldon's supermarket was easily accessible. We cooked fish we caught and grilled some great dinners while over looking the ocean waters. We recommend a car for getting around the island. The house was an easy drive from the airport and with the car we were able to explore the island. Many memories were made and more yet to come, as we plan to be back! Thank you!

I would recommend this home to anyone!  Beautiful sea views and breezes with a gorgeous pool, hot tub and deck.  Oh did I mention the house is one I wish I could build in the US?  So stunning!  I surely didn’t want to leave EVER!  Tom and Andrea have thought of everything!   Favorite this property you’ll want to come back year after year!

We could not have loved this place any more! This was our first trip to Roatán and definitely won’t be our last. Thomas’ place is immaculate, beautifully appointed and in the perfect location. The private pool, hot tub and the morning greetings from hummingbirds were a perfect start to the day. The en suite was beautiful with a nice large soaking tub and separate shower. There’s also an outdoor shower. We didn’t even use half of the home because it was only two of us but it would be perfect for a larger family as well. The kitchen has everything you could need. The master bedroom also had a full length mirror which is always appreciated for getting ready. All the “little things” you wish a place had, this place does. You can walk to a restaurant and the brewery, both of which we also loved, but I’d recommend getting a rental car to explore more of the island during your stay. Carolina, the house manager, is also lovely and very attentive and helpful. We’re just sad we had to leave.

Thank you for your kind words, really happy you had a good stay!

The five star rating for this review was misleading. It really should’ve been a ten, but the system wouldn’t let me go that high. This has been the most high class rental I’ve ever enjoyed. It’s clear that this house was meant to be someone’s home that’s occasionally rented out rather than a rental property for income. The layout is open and airy. We loved the openness of the well appointed kitchen and living room. We spent much of our time there eating and laughing. There is even a pool table that we loved to use. The deck is large and welcoming with an outdoor shower, pool and hot tub. The views of the trees and beaches are stunning. Throughout the day, you’ll see hummingbirds zooming by and hear sounds of tropical birds all around. This is a place not to be missed and we are already looking to book next year’s trip to stay here

I asked airbnb to set it to 10 but they refused ;).  Happy to hear you enjoyed your stay.

Absolutely stunning. The home, the view, everything. Tom and Carolina were very responsive with any questions we had, but honestly we didn’t need much because the house is squeaky clean, organized, and  has everything you need in the kitchen.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, glad you enjoyed!

We have stayed in some beautiful homes in “prime” locations from Sandy Bay to the east end of the island and Thomas’ location and house was by far the best. Just what I was hoping for traveling with my wife and college age daughter. Safe and easily drivable so I could spend my days on the flats. The home is centrally located on the island with paved roads from airport and all points west. Not only would I recommend Thomas’ place in Palmetto Bay, we did and our friends have reserved it for later this spring.

Thank you Dennis.  We worked really hard choosing a location, builder, design and furnishings in order to build something special.  So happy to hear you found it so!!

Wonderfully appointed new home in really convenient midway point for both ends of island, on gorgeous Palmetto Bay.  Walk to brewery for amazing food and brew. On-site Cove restaurant/ bar had awesome food (ahi tuna potstickers  our fave, with 1/2 lb burger close second). The on-site private beach is as pictured- postcard worthy. Fun activities booked onsite and dive center was great for us beginners. House is gorgeous! Deck views from comfy lounge furniture or from the pool or hot tub amazing. Beds and bedding, towels, linen, kitchen equipment all top notch. Definitely will go back!
