Waterfront vacation rentals in Utila

This is the perfect place for easy going travelers, it's well located very close to the main part of the town (around 15 minutes walk and 3 minutes tuk tuk). We walked a few times just to enjoy the view. This means is also quiet. You'll have the sea right in front of the house as a front yard, with one of the best diving / snorkeling spots in the island. Tony and Jo will pick you up from the ferry as an additional touch, I felt so important when I saw my name on the air. House is amazingly clean, even smells like you're in the US. The hosts prepared a pamphlet with all the useful information and a cellphone with all the important numbers, we used the tuk tuks they recommended at all times, they give you a better fare! Tony and Jo gave us the best recommendation for restaurants, I didn't even think there was such a delicious place like Mango Tango - PLEASE DO GO! Thank you for everything, guys, we felt like home at all times!

What a beautiful place to stay! The cove is gorgeous, accessible and can be viewed from the porch. Snorkeling on the reef right there. You can hear the waves perfectly when they’re rolling. Apartment is full of natural light, other than in the dark, cool, peaceful bedroom. House is finished to North American standards, with great hot water and pressure, granite countertops, good lighting, etc. We lived just as at home for a month. Neighborhood is very quiet, and perfect bicycle-distance from town. Best aspect was Erin, who was a great host and all-around special person. She was very helpful in many ways, and really provided a great first experience on Utila.

Great location, great host, great experience over all, will be coming back.

Liane and Dan gave us the best experience we have ever had on Airbnb or any rental platform! When we arrived, they met us at the ferry terminal on their private boat to take us to their beautiful Spanish style hacienda, directly on a private beach that is more beautiful than even imagined! The "house reef" is wonderful just off the dock. From the moment we arrived, Liane had everything covered, from arranging tours, introducing us to the community, and even leaving bubble wrap at our door for our fragile souvenirs before we left. We also adored Dan's father nextdoor who is a master at wood carving. It was a pleasure to meet him and the two sweet rescue dogs that Liane and Dan have given a beautiful life! We look forward to returning very soon, as everything was perfect and we made friends for life! We will never forget this unique experience!!!

The casita is simple but has everything you need. It is very close to the ferry terminal and easy to get to, the central location made it great for reaching restaurants, bars and dive shops. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook well. The view of the bay from the porch was nice. There is some commotion from the ferry port but only at certain times of day. Utila is rustic so set your expectations accordingly. Andrea was very communicative and responded quickly to every need. Thank you for a lovely and peaceful stay!

Tony & Jo were so amazing, very helpful and kind. Their home is beautiful and comfy. Can't wait to go back!

A perfect place to stay whilst visiting Utila, especially for diving as it’s right across the street from UDC and other dive centres! The communication was easy and Cliff was fantastic at solving any issues we had quickly when needed. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a place close to everything they need

We loved staying here! Waking up to the ocean sounds is just something else. The house is beautiful and comfortable. Everything matched the description. HUGE thanks to Tony & Jo who were exceptional hosts. Super friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

My daughter and I had a delightful stay, extremely peaceful and unplugged. If you’re looking for a natural, undisturbed Caribbean location right on the beach, this is for you. If you’re looking for big condos, huge all inclusives-this is not for you. You will have anything you want immediately, you’ll have basically your own concierge team taking care of you within minutes of asking. Trish is spot on along with Capt. Ron and Melvin who cooked us a fabulous meal and took us fishing. The beds are so comfortable and I fell asleep in minutes (and I usually don’t sleep well). Very well appointed bedrooms. From pick up to accompanying us to a last minute charter flight and not worry about all the logistics, their team was seamless! Definitely provision your food. We ran out of wine but had to go to town anyway, so you can get more there. Neptunes is a great place. Bring a combination of Sawyer Maxi Deet and Picaridin, bring light long pants and tops if you’ll make a fire at night. 10 stars!!

A lovely retreat located just out of the town, but walkable. Beautiful seafront location and responsive host. Trees need trimming to reveal the sea view, and if you fill the place, you might need more crockery etc. From our experience of Tamara, this would be quickly sorted though.

Beyond Paradise is a most fitting name. The view of the sun rising and the waves breaking over the reef was fabulous. The peaceful sounds of the waves and the sea breezes though the palms was hypnotic. Snorkeling from the shore was great and the reef was beautiful with abundant life. We were provided a list of restaurants with personal reviews that proved to be both helpful and accurate. The house was beautiful on the inside and the wrap-around porch led to more than one nap in the hammock.

A wonderful setting for a memorable vacation, surrounded by the natural beauty of the Caribbean! A great spot to be as active or as relaxed as you like. Trish is a wonderful host and is very accommodating along with her amazing crew.

Fabulous beachfront bungalow with great amenities! Was such a great place for a relaxing trip and close to the restaurants and dive shops. Tamara was amazing and would visit again and recommend to any friend!

This was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend this place, not just for the amenities but for the host. Snorkeling out front was beautiful, the pool was great, nice trade winds, whole house filtered water. Jo met us at the dock with a tuk tuk, her personal vehicle and had lined up two golf cart rentals that were at the dock as well. We were able to smoothly get all our luggage and people to the house without stress. She got us settled in, explained everything about the house, and had a guide to Utila with a ton of useful information. The house was equipped with solar panels which really decreased our power usage. Power is extremely expensive on Utila. It's about 4 times what it is in the states. Expect to pay extra unless you want to run the AC all the time or rent a house with solar panels like this one. I don't think we could have had a better host or better house while we were on the island! Thanks so much, Jo!
