Location
Casa Kennedy is situated in the Emerald Beach neighborhood of West Bay, positioned between the Argentinian Grille and Henry Morgan's Resort. The home offers private beach access close to hotels but remains secluded from crowds.
West Bay Beach is protected by a reef, creating a safe swimming area inside the buoys. Snorkeling spots are just a minute’s walk or swim from the property. Several dive centers are located within 100 yards.
Security
The property employs Bulldog Security, the island’s premier private security firm, and features a smart digital security system with remote control. The staff is responsive around the clock, except on Sundays and holidays.
While West Bay is generally safe and regularly patrolled by police, guests should be aware that local vendors may approach to sell massages and souvenirs. No major security incidents have occurred in over eight years of hosting.
Guest Access and Services
Guests have full access to the entire house, garden, private beach area, and the roped-off ocean section reserved for the homeowners’ association. Keys will be provided by Nancy, the home manager.
Additional services available upon request (rates apply):
- Transportation and tours
- Cleaning and laundry assistance
- Cooking, babysitting, and grocery shopping
House Rules
- No unregistered guests or changes to guest numbers during the stay
- Parties are strictly prohibited at all times
- Guests are encouraged to turn off air conditioning when not in use due to high electricity costs on the island
- Bathrooms require careful waste disposal to protect the marine bioreserve; no plastics or excessive paper should be flushed
Additional Notes
- Free drinking water is provided throughout the stay
- The home was built by a US military family, and special discounts are available for service members, differently-abled individuals, medical professionals, teachers, and students regardless of nationality
- The property offers a unique family atmosphere rather than boutique hotel services, aiming to provide affordable accommodations for divers, veterans, retirees, and families seeking longer stays in West Bay Beach

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!

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!
