Life doesn’t get any better than experiencing the breathtaking views and turquoise waters of Roatan at The Pink Orchid! This fully equipped home is located in the cozy community of Orchid Beach Village midway between West End and West Bay Beach. With views in every direction both inside and out, the home overlooks the largest coral reef in the northern hemisphere, making this location a snorkeling, kayaking and diver's paradise! Facing westward, its one of the limited spots on the island where guests can enjoy full panoramic sunsets while taking in spectacular ocean vistas from the wrap-around decks. And you can enjoy the views under the shade of a full canopy of trees, something hard to find but so delightful.....or enjoy our sundeck with four lounge chairs if you want to get some rays.
Each of the three bedrooms has their own dedicated bathroom, ideal for families or couples traveling together yet desiring privacy. The kitchen is newly remodeled with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. It is equipped with a French door stainless refrigerator, five-burner gas stove & oven, microwave, coffee maker and grinder, Cuisinart food processor, InstaPot, toaster, waffle maker, Cuisinart ice cream maker and electric mixer for all your cooking needs. The full service for fifteen of Dansk Caribe dishes and many accompanying cookware and utensils make this the perfect place for entertaining. If the preference is to have someone do the cooking during your stay, a local cook can come and prepare some or all of the meals to your liking. The living area is open and inviting with a large couch, two oversized chairs and a chair with ottoman, a dining area that seats six and a breakfast bar that seats four more. From its traditional Caribbean hardwood and tiled floors to its vaulted ceilings and expansive windows, you can enjoy island living at its best.
This private home is located between and within walking distance of two popular island destinations: West End and West Bay Beach. If you are looking for fun nightlife, both offer a variety of restaurant eateries, local shops and beach activities. Guests can walk to both attractions or easily catch a water taxi from our dock for a quick 5-minute ride. There are also five elegant beachfront restaurants and one beach bar and grill, all located just minutes from the house offering island cuisine in our backyard.(Luna Muna at Ibagari, The Lotus at Xbalanque, and Sea Salt Bistro, Azul at the Blue Roatan Resort, Bar Luna at the Luna Beach Resort, and The Boat Bar and Grill).

The Pink Orchid has two new 2-seater kayaks available for your use and we are 300 yards from the world's second largest reef - the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Our property managers can arrange snorkeling, fishing and diving adventures per your interests. We work with a local dive operator that picks up and drops off right at the dock and they offer a 10% discount to guests from The Pink Orchid. If you are interested in local fruits, ask our gardener/maintenance man to bring you fresh coconuts, bananas, limes, or mangoes when in season – delicious! And for those rainy periods or quiet evenings at home, there are a plethora of board games and a full video library available for your use. The Pink Orchid is unique with the privacy it affords, surrounded by a large garden lining the ocean on one side and lush tropical trees and flowers that line the creek on the other side. After a day of hustle and bustle, its always a treat to return to this quiet getaway surrounded by a private garden on one side, a natural creek on the other, and an ocean of tranquil waters -- to enjoy the ultimate in privacy and relaxation.
