***Ask about Vivaro - West End - North House and South House***
Two new 3 bedroom luxury properties on the water with large infinity pools steps from the heart of West End. Available Summer 2016 - Sleeps 12 - 14***
Vivaro - Beachfront is the high end, private, luxurious home in the heart of West End, Roatan you have been looking for. You are not steps away, you are on the white sand beach of your dreams. Vivaro is an oasis of panoramic views with incredible snorkeling steps away, a large relaxing infinity pool, luxurious amenities, and a private but very convenient location.
Vivaro is in the West End. By car are you less than 5 minutes to the heart of West End Village. There are no comparable private beachfront homes this close to West End. Be careful to understand the location of each property you are considering. Vivaro is a private home - not a hotel. It is privately managed, well maintained, and a personal vacation home that is rented sparingly throughout the year to vacationers who will respect and enjoy the house.
The house is a 4500 square foot luxury home built directly on your own 115 wide by 78 feet deep white sand beach. In front of you is stunning Mangrove Bight and the Meso-American reef - the largest barrier reef in the Western Hemisphere. From your morning coffee on the deck to floating in the creative infinity pool at sunset, you will not want to leave. The house sits on a 3/4 acre lot which offers plenty of space and privacy.
The central great room is spacious with extremely large accordion doors that open onto a sprawling deck with stunning views.
The 2500 square feet of outdoor deck space surrounds a large infinity pool with a tanning ledge and offers spectacular views of Roatan's fabulous reefs and spectacular sunsets. There is ample furniture, from lounge chairs to sun beds, to a large shaded table for all your group to relax, sun, dine, play games, or read.
The four spacious and identical master suites each face the ocean and each has a large deck. The master bedrooms feature Honduran wood floors, blackout curtains and luxury linens and towels. The large bathrooms with marble counter tops include rainfall shower heads and private toilet rooms.
The fifth bedroom is a large bunk room - perfect for children or a group room. This room has 24 feet high ceilings. Custom triple bunk beds handmade of Honduran hardwood feature two doubles on the bottom topped with 2 twin beds (6 beds in total). The lofted media area includes a twin trundle bed, a television and dvd player, and lots of pillows to relax, nap, or watch movies. This room has a bathroom with a rainfall shower and a separate toilet. Kids or adults will love the comfort and space of this room.
There is a also powder room in the great room and a 7th bathroom with separate shower and toilet outside below the pool on the sand.
The chef's kitchen is large with white stone counter tops and dark Honduran wood cabinets. The GE gas cook top is on a substantial island with seating for four. All appliances are top of the line GE. The double door refrigerator conveniently has 2 ice makers. The kitchen has been meticulously outfitted with high quality knives, cookware, dishes, silverware, etc.
Our goal is for Vivaro to be as energy efficient as possible. Every option from LCD lights to energy star rated appliances help to conserve daily usage. The power on Roatan is diesel generated and there are frequent, but brief outages. At Vivaro, because of solar panels and battery storage you thankfully will never know when the power goes out. You will have lights, AC (in the main house bedrooms - AC in loft room and 2 masters on left side of the house will not work during power outages), water, and be able to cook. Internet and TV also go down during power outages - this is usually the only reason we know there has been an issue.
The solar power you use is included. However, it is not enough to power a full house. You will be charged the most recent rate if rates for your groups electricity usage. The house is solar powered with a large battery back up system. With intelligent and careful use of AC, lights, and fans this charge should be minimal. This means AC only at night or when in the room, AC set at around 22 degrees, lights and fans off when not needed, etc. The battery back up can only support the house at night or during a power outage if it has time to charge. Energy conservation should always be a goal if you want to minimize your charges. The meter will be read upon check in and again at check out. Charges will be deducted from your security deposit.
The central AC (the large great room and kitchen) and the two masters and loft room are not connected to solar. If you choose to use the central AC, there will definitely be usage determined when you checkout. The split unit AC's in the bedrooms are very economical but you should still turn off when not in the room to save charges.
Charges have ranged from $200 to close to $500 depending on the renters personal choices.
There is a $200 cleaning charge for all groups. This includes on average light cleaning 2 times in 7 days and a deep cleaning after your checkout. Sheets and towels will not be changed every day. Water is scarce and conservation required. We expect guests to keep the house and kitchen reasonably clean during there stay. If you desire more frequent cleaning please let us know so we can book a trusted cleaner.
We also include transportation from the airport to the house. (One car or van per group. We can help arrange additional cars if needed.) If you choose to rent cars, we will sent a driver to guide you to the house. We can help you arrange the return trip and quote you a price.
No guests or parties allowed without prior arrangement. Only those listed in the required signed contract and paid for will be allowed at the property.
We are open to events. There will be additional event fees. Please inquire.
Reasons Vivaro is the right choice for your vacation:
*on a large white sand beach with few neighbors
*large infinity pool (plunge pools are normal on Roatan)
*back up batteries and solar power (power outages are frequent on Roatan).
*dedicated managers and groundskeepers - we can get anything fixed or helped if asked
*minutes from West End - dive shops, gift shops, grocery stores, beach bars and great fine dining
*peace and privacy all year - even during the busy season or cruise ship days
Reasons Vivaro might not be:
*Vivaro is self catering. It is a private home, not a hotel. We provide the stunning luxury house - you make your vacation the best ever. We provide light cleaning - not daily sheet changes etc.
*You will need to purchase and bring some household items - shampoo, body soap etc. Some cleaning supplies are provided but we hope you enjoy your vacation and leave the laundry for when you return home with wonderful memories. We have some snorkel gear but not enough for everyone. There might be some pool floats - or the last guests popped them all.
*We love feeling a bit local on fabulous Roatan - meeting new travelers, expats, and locals at Sundowner's is a not to miss activity. Experiencing the small grocery stores, buying some fruit on the street, meeting a local cat, realizing how loud the tiny mosquito eating geckos can be are the some of the many experiences that made us choose Roatan as our vacation spot. If an authentic island vacation does not sound appealing, please choose another spot.
