We were a family of 6, with 3 adults and 3 kids ages 17,15 and 7. We stayed for 8 Days and 7 nights at Casa kennedy. The house is very spacious and well equipped with everything you need. It has one of the best locations on the beach if you're looking to stay on west bay.it has a private beach area with 8 lounge chairs and palms for shade. The house is a rental on a 3rd world island so things are very worn, outdated and in need of tlc. We had a few things break but they were fixed the same day. One thing that was not mentioned is that there are no stairs in the house. You have to go outside to get to the ground floor. This was a slight inconvenience. You also do not have access to laundry but Nancy did 2 loads for us midweek. she was very helpful. We stayed over Easter week which is a very popular time on this island. The beaches get very crowded during the day and loud at night. The watchmen and house security is beneficial to have during these busy times. The restaurant directly next door stays open late and plays loud music so a sound machine/app is a must for bedtime.Omar the driver is awesome! We used him for airport & excursion transportation. He stops at the food store, unloads groceries, gives you tour. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. He was amazing and even got our wifi back up and running when we lost it one day. Memorable roatan moments: winning crab race, night snorkeling, catching tuna and barracuda, fresh sashimi tuna, the coral, THE WATER!

We stayed for 6 nights, we had 7 adults and 1 child. Could not ask for a better house. It had everything we needed and everyone was comfortable in their own space. The location could not be better. Quick access to the beach and delicious food. Hopped a water taxi right out front, store 2 doors down and private beach. We hired Nancy to cook for us breakfast and dinner for 5 days. It was the best food we had. Her food was amazing and fresh. She really made the trip extra special. She also made sure to get us a cake for our friends 50th. She put candles and decorations on it. If your in doubt hire Nancy!

We were a group of 9 friends and your house was awesome. The outdoor patio on the 2nd floor was a big hit. Nancy was a great host. Johnny The yard guy was the nicest person you could ever meet. Always with a smile. Beach was right out the door but far enough to truly enjoy your privacy and freedom. We are working on a return trip in the future. Thanks for everything

Location, location, location... There is not a better home on West Bay Beach. The convenience of walking to restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner was incredible. You can also get a quick water taxi to West End for other retaurants and shopping. Some of the best snorkeling is right outside the house. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The numerous trees were also nice for shade on the beach. We will definitely book this house again.

Excellent location with direct beach access. The beach in front of the house is nice. Great snorkeling, if you walk a few minutes on the beach to the south.The house is comfortable and clean. The Hostess (Nancy, she doesn't speak English, so we mainly communicated via texts) is an excellent cook - highly recommended to order food from her. There are also a few good restaurants near the house.There is a supermarket with basic items next door, but you may want to drive to the West End for shopping. If you need a larger store, "Comercial Ramirez" is the place to go.I'd recommend renting a car

Perfect Location

We had a lovely stay at Casa Kennedy. The location cannot be beat. We were able to walk absolutely everywhere we wanted and rarely even needed flip flops the whole week! We experienced some glitches with water and electricity but our concerns were addressed quickly. The microwave did not work at all, and we had anticipated a fridge downstairs in the kitchenette, but there was really nothing available to qualify it as a separate kitchenette other than a counter and a sink. Honestly, Roatan is a fabulous island and the people are kind and this includes the team that runs Casa Kennedy. We had a nice time and West Bay Beach is literally paradise.

Great location on a beautiful beach

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Kennedy. The location is right on the best beach in the area. Easy walking to restaurants, dive and snorkeling locations and a small grocery store. The house was a nice house with a great wrap around porch. One thing to note is that this is the popular beach so it can be busy with a good night life of bars and restaurants. If you are looking for a quiet beach, West Bay Beach might not be for you. We did start our trip over Easter weekend which was very crowded and noisy. Things calmed down and were quite pleasant after Easter.

Wish it was mine

My family absolutely loved our stay at this property. There were 7 people in our party and it accommodated us perfectly. The staff was available for whatever we needed whether it was cooking an amazing meal, putting chairs out on the beach or taking us on a tour of the island. They were just phone call away. West End Dive Shop was right around the corner and their team made us feel so comfortable in our dives. I can’t say enough about the location of the property though. There were restaurants, shops and even a little grocery store all within walking distance and you could snorkel right off the beach. If you wanted to parasail or take excursions, you could do that right off the beach too or just sit and people watch all day. Then there was the amazing sunset every night. Needless to say, we loved every minute of it.

Paradise Awaits

Our family of 5 (3 college age girls) stayed for a week and absolutely loved it! This is a perfect location on West Bay, within walking distance to many restaurants, a short water taxi ride to West End, and some of the best snorkeling on the island within a 10 minute walk! Having your own private chairs for hanging on the beach was wonderful!! Maritza was very responsive to any needs we had during our stay. Omar was a great resource for our driving needs (airport shuttle, taxi to excursions, etc). Nancy came our last night to make us taco Fritos which were amazing!! (We realized we should have used her more) Our only minor “complaint” was the spotty and inconsistent wifi. But it didn’t bother us since we were there for relaxation and sun! Nothing but amazing things to say about Casa Kennedy and Roatan! We will be back!

Best Private Home on West Bay

Location, location, location. Best location of a private home this size on West Bay. Beautiful view of the ocean, right on the beach, with shade trees to spare. Everything worth doing is within arms reach....beach, restaurants, shopping, snorkeling, water taxis, you name it. The coral reef and sea life were amazing....great snorkeling....such beautifully colored fish. Roatan isn't a 5 star resort type of island, it gives you the real island vibe and was exactly what we were looking for and if that is what you want, I highly recommend staying at the Casa Kennedy!

Our week was better than anticipated, as was the house. Nancy is a true pro at hosting while Omar and his team of drivers are always at the ready - cheerfully. Nancy cooked for us three times. She’s a good and creative chef. Our drivers were always timely and informative. The house is perfectly set back from its private beach that is adjacent to a very colorful active, but quiet beach with many varied vendors, beach bars/restaurants. I find Roatan to be very authentic with old style Caribbean culture. Finally, just a short stroll on the beach is the Hotel Caribe Tesoro. We loved eating Ceviche and excellent fish soup out on the pier. Just book this place.

Amazing location

We had a group of 8 stay in the house with grandparents in another rental nearby. This place was the perfect meeting place. The owner connected us with Nancy who prepared most of our meals for us and did the shopping. She was part of the family by the time we left. Her meals were spot on and we could not have asked for more. All of our expectations with the house were exceeded. Access to the beach was the best on the beach.
