Located in exclusive Lighthouse Estates, this stunning 5,500 SF home has 5 bedrooms & 7 bathrooms over 3 stories. Built overlooking a fossilized coral reef with vistas of the majestic mountains of Honduras over the Caribbean Sea, this house offers unparalleled views...and comfort. With an infinity pool and 1000 square feet of patios and only 5 minute walk to the beach, this is the ultimate vacation house. The rate does not include electricity. The downstairs apartment is a standalone two bedroom / three bathroom apartment. It has a full kitchen, living room, and its own 300 square foot private patio. The master suite sleeps 2 and faces the ocean with views from the bed and an ensuite bathroom. The second bedroom is also a bunk room that sleeps 4 as it has a full-over-full bunk bed and also has an ensuite bathroom. We do also have a sixth "bedroom" option that sleeps 2. We have a large foyer in the downstairs apartment that can be converted into a bedroom. It has a full bathroom and a twin bed with another twin trundle bed that converts into a King bed if desired. It works perfectly as another bedroom for larger groups that don't want to share beds. It can even have its own entrance as the apartment has a second entrance through the French doors. In total, we have sleeping spaces for 18 people in 11 beds however we only allow groups up to 16 people. However, we do make exceptions for families with children. If you are a larger family, please let us know. ******THE RENTAL RATE DOES NOT INCLUDE ELECTRICITY.***** The rate does not include electricity. Please read "Other Things to Note" for more information on how the electricity is handled.The rate includes final cleaning. Additional cleanings can be added for a fee. We also can arrange for a private chef to come to the house and cook an amazing Island style meal. We also have a great lady who babysits in case you want a night out without the kids.The rate does not include electricity. It does include an electricity allowance that covers normal use and living. We also have 44 solar panels that backup into the grid and this is the electricity allowance that guests receive. Any usage over what the panels generate will be charged to the guest. Electricity is quite expensive on Roatan. So Instead of charging fees for laundry, A/C , and so forth, it is easier and fairer to charge to for electricity instead. Our house has a computer program that tracks electric usage and solar output. We use this figure to determine the charge per kilowatt hour. The guest is responsible for the difference. We found that including electricity in the price made people want to get their money's worth by leaving the A/Cs constantly on at full blast and every light in the place on. Not only is it eco unfriendly, it meant we had to tack on an extra $1500/week to the rental rate. As mentioned, we do have solar panels that back up into the grid. So you can bank electric during the day to use at night by doing things like turning the ACs off or turning them up to a few degrees colder than the outside temperature. We have a fantastic near year round breeze and wall-to-wall windows. Most guests don't even use the AC. If you are energy aware (hang towels to dry instead of putting them in the dryer, turn the AC off or up when not in the house, and keep the temperature on something reasonable instead of Arctic blast, your usage will not exceed your allowance. But if you keep the ACs on 24/7 on a cold setting, the bill can easily be $500/week if not more. We are on an island off the coast of Honduras. We have frequent power, internet, and water outages that are outside of our control. It is the price of living in paradise. No refunds will be given in the event of any utility outages beyond our control.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 25.About events:Events allowed: family gatherings and weddings.Maximum event attendees: 14.
