Local Island Homes

(By Stephanie)

 In our few months here on Roatan, we have seen so many beautiful homes, condos and resorts.  There is plenty of wealth, lots of mansions, pools, boats, and toys here, but we LOVE the charm and down-to-earth feel of the local islander homes too.

Just to show a contrast, here's a home we saw while exploring up at Parrot Tree.  A GORGEOUS home with amazing views.

 


Here's a few examples of some of the awesome local homes we've seen on our walkabouts....








This is the guy we see out on his porch every time we go to scuba diving.  His place is right behind Scuba Roatan.....






Here's some homes we saw when we went over to the east side of the Island (more on that later).....

A lot of these homes on the east side are only accessible on boat.  EVERYONE has a little boat to go everywhere.   If you need to go to the store, you hop on a boat and pull right up.





This home was completely remote, tucked back behind lots of mangroves.....this was one of our favorites.  Seems like the perfect hideaway house.  And the front yard is to die for.  haha.





Had to throw in a couple of cute churches for good measure........
