Two master bedrooms, an upper and lower, both with king beds and private full bathrooms and beautiful tiled showers. Each of the other 2 bedrooms have queen beds and a shared full bathroom.

Comfortable home with a view!
A comfortable house on the hillside with an expansive view of the sea and the mountains of mainland Honduras. Wonderful for a family looking relax and play in the pool and the ocean easily accessible by foot for some shoreline snorkeling. Road in best traveled with a four wheel drive with clearance. Caretaker and house manager both lovely, helpful and can share some really great stories. If a more remote location is for you, this checks that box. Exploring the east coast away from crowds allowed us beaches nearly to ourselves. May want to pick up bulk of groceries at the supermarket in Coxen Hole or French Harbor as it is more limited in the Calabash area for cooking in the well equipped kitchen. Thanks again to Sherri who was quite responsive in our communications!

Hillside Heaven
While the property is called Hillside Paradise, we think it is heaven! Perfect spot for those wanting outdoor adventure based vacation versus shopping and night life. This is our second year staying at the property and it felt like home. We embraced the dirt road to reach the house, power outages (electrical company issues), sand-flys, and smoke from mainland because we loved snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, and fly-fishing. TyTy was fantastic with his big smile taking us out on the center-consol boat and share his knowledge of the area and environment. We enjoyed the mangrove tour and dinners/drinks at Trico-Jonesville. Sherri and Brian are great hosts with prompt and clear communications and they helped coordinate last minute details. The home decorations are more than we expected and reflect the love the owners have for their house. This is great place to get away from electronics (even though there is WiFi and cell coverage) and enjoy the beauty of Roatan and the Caribbean.

Perfect
Our short 4 day stay at Hillside Paradise was perfect. We loved everything about the location and home. It was so peaceful with the most beautiful views. We did not want to leave and will definitely be back. We also went out fishing and snorkeling with Tie Tie- we can not say enough about this guy!! He is so kind and knows everything there is to know about the island, fishing and snorkeling spots. Sherri and Brian were also great to work with. Brian met us (I originally went to the wrong meet up spot:/) and led us to the house, gave us a tour and made sure we had what we needed before leaving. Thank you all for everything! We miss the dogs too!

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Visker

Host profile image
Hello, our names are Stan and Karla and we are the proud owners of Hillside Paradise. We are Colorado Natives but enjoy getting away during the winter. We've always wanted to be able to take a yearly family trip. Somewhere warm with the ocean and plenty of activities for everyone to enjoy as well as being able to spend some quality time together. Finally in 2017 we unexpectedly came across the perfect house for just that and bought it without a second thought. Now we would like the chance to share what we consider our PARADISE with other families and friends. We were also able to enlist the best help out there, our daughter Stephanie and son in law Tweed, to fix, decorate the house. We hope this place brings as much joy to anyone who visits as it has us.
