House in Bay Islands Department
Reasons to book
About this house rental
The east end of Roatán is the quiet end — beach, not bars, and miles from the West Bay crowds. Dakota Breeze sits directly on the sand here, on Milton Point. About 100 feet down the shore, a west-facing dock palapa hosts the property's signature moment: open water, no neighbors in frame, the sun dropping into the Caribbean. That's where most evenings end.
The home was built by its owner over years of return trips to Roatán and opened to guests in January 2025. Three themed bedrooms, a multi-zone bunk loft, and 1,200 sqft of covered outdoor living. Sleeps 10. Designed for adult friend groups, couples, girls trips, and small-group celebrations — and quietly excellent for multigen families too.
Why guests book Dakota Breeze
Beachfront, not "beach access" — your back door opens to sand
West-facing dock palapa built around the sunset
Solar power with 50 kWh battery backup — electric included, AC runs through grid outages
Tap water potable throughout — whole-house filter + UV, plus a reverse-osmosis drinking tap at the kitchen sink. No bottled water needed.
The east end means beach, not bars — no West Bay nightlife noise
Airport meet and rental-car help on arrival (kitchen pre-stocking available as a paid add-on)
The Layout — Sleeps 10
About 3,000 sqft of interior plus a covered porch that functions as a second living room.
The Great Room
Open kitchen, dining, and living with high ceilings, all opening to ocean views. The dining table is hand-built from a single Balinese teak root and seats eight. The kitchen island seats four more. Forno commercial-grade appliances. Smart TV, Bluetooth stereo, a deep board-game collection, and a curated library.
The Bedrooms
Ocean Room — King bed, oceanfront, private ensuite bath
Jungle Room — King bed, oceanfront, Jack-and-Jill bath
The Captain's Quarters — Queen bed, hand-painted mural by Roatán artist Alvin Welcome, plush deep-color walls, and a loft-net ceiling that opens into the bunk loft above
The Bunk Loft (sleeps 4)
Two sets of bunk beds plus two distinct lounge zones — a Moroccan-themed seating area and a board-games / arts-and-crafts corner. Wraps three sides of the great room with views of both the living space below and the ocean beyond. Note: this is a bunk loft, not a fourth bedroom. We list it honestly.
The Covered Porch (1,200 sqft)
A full second living and dining space, under cover, facing the water. Most groups cook out here more than inside.
Outdoor dining for 8, on a table built on Roatán by woodworker TuTu
Built-in Blaze stainless grill with a 2-burner cooktop alongside
Wet bar and beverage fridge
Four ceiling fans and a steady ocean breeze
The Beach and the Water
We leave the gear ready so you don't plan around it: four Perception tandem kayaks, snorkel sets, beach chairs, hammocks, coolers, and life jackets. Our own stretch of mangrove tunnels starts just east of the house — an easy paddle from the dock and the trip we recommend every guest do at least once. Untouched reef is right offshore for snorkeling, no boat needed. An on-site caretaker maintains the beach and grounds five days a week.
The community pool and dock palapa sit 100 feet down the shore. They're shared with five neighboring homes but rarely used by anyone else — most days you'll have both to yourselves. The palapa at sunset is what most guests remember.
Design — Built and Run by the Island
Dakota Breeze isn't a turnkey investment build. It's a personal home, designed and curated room by room with Honduran and Roatán artists and craftspeople:
Murals and original artwork — Alvin Welcome, Roatán painter
Hand-carved cabinetry, mirror frames, and architectural detail — Jonathan, wood carver from La Ceiba
Outdoor dining table and select wood pieces — TuTu, Roatán woodworker
Ceramics and pottery — Angel Goquez and Evelyn Mariely
Additional artwork — Karen Denise Coad

What's Included in Your Stay

Electricity, water, high-speed internet, AC throughout
Concierge arrival from Sherri and Deysi
Full beach gear — kayaks, snorkel, chairs, hammocks, coolers, life jackets
Starter supplies — paper goods, soaps, detergents, trash bags
On-site overnight security and exterior cameras
A Day at Dakota Breeze
Mornings start on the porch — coffee, the breeze, the water in front of you, no schedule. Kayaks are best in the morning before the wind picks up. Afternoons split between beach and porch — most groups end up cooking lunch and dinner on the outdoor grill more than inside. Evenings drift to the dock palapa, where the sun does the rest of the work.
Who Dakota Breeze Is For
Adult friend groups looking for a real vacation home, not a hotel. Couples traveling together. Girls trips. Small-group celebrations — birthdays, anniversaries, work retreats. Multigen families fit well here too; the layout gives everyone their own corner. What Dakota Breeze isn't is a party house — neighbors are close on either side, and we keep things quiet after 10pm.
