THIS PROPERTY IS AMAZING! The home is gorgeous, much more *wow* factor than shown in pictures. Sunrises from the home are like no other. SO MANY WINDOWS!! The kitchen is well stocked with all needed supplies. We even had fresh coffee from the Utila Chocolate Factory personalized just for the Rocky Point House! Between the fans and trade winds, it was often sufficient to keep rooms cool. We did use the AC units most nights. There were books, card games & ping pong for rainy days. The infinity pool was gorgeous. A little chilly due to rain, but kids still loved it when we needed a break from the ocean. The sandy beach directly in front of the property is the best/largest on this side of Utila. Tons of shells. There is some trash that washes up too, but that’s just part of island life. The kids took a trash bag down & competed to see who could gather the most trash. It was also a good lesson for the kids (& us adults) on why recycling & not littering are so important
Great snorkeling. We saw octopus, large crab, barracuda, & tons of other creatures right by the house! You can walk (or swim) over to the island out front. Mostly coral but at low tide it has great small, soft sand beaches
Warning- in the evenings, the sea spray really gets to blowing. If windows are open, the tile can get very slippery.
The home is so sturdy. I don’t like to hear floors squeaking and hear every step your housemates make. Not in this home! Even with 3 stories you can’t hear any stomping around from footsteps above you!
It’s so easy to get to town… one road! The main road of town is paved but turns to dirt after the bridge. The dirt road takes you straight to this property. This road does get pot holes and mud puddles during the rainy season. Locals said it’s usually graded 1x/year at the beginning of spring (March/April-ish). A tuk tuk ride from the house to town is about $2 per person 1 way. We did this the 1st few days then got tired of paying & just rode bikes or walked to town! The walk can be tiring for little or older legs in the mid-day sun (15-18 min), but it’s a pretty easy bike ride, 4-5 minutes. You can bike from one end of town all the way to the other in just a few minutes
Lastly, Blanca. She is a saint. She made the entire trip easy breezy. Met us at ferry, answered any question, organized horseback riding, tuk tuk rides, made sure we had everything & more, even surprised my daughter with birthday balloons & a gift! We would come back just for her!
