This vacation home places you within a 10-minute stroll of Roatan Island Brewing Co. and Marbella Beach. The vacation home includes a kitchen, a dining area, and a refrigerator.
Wake up steps from a secluded Roatan beach, with Scuba Roatan's dive shop right on the property running two boat dives a day. Ocean Soul Bungalow is a private 2-bedroom retreat inside the gated Palmetto Bay community, with a car and airport pickup available so you're never dependent on taxis to get here or explore the island.
The Space Ocean Soul Bungalow sits on a quiet road within Palmetto Bay, a short stroll from the beach. It's one half of a duplex — the other unit is occupied seasonally by the owner and never rented, so you'll have full privacy. Inside, island-style architecture meets modern comfort: air conditioning in both bedrooms, ceiling fans throughout, a fully equipped kitchen with a full-size fridge and stove, flat-screen TVs in the living room and each bedroom, fast Wi-Fi, a programmable safe, and 24-hour community security.
Prime Location: Palmetto Bay Palmetto Bay is a gated, eco-friendly beach community on Roatan's north shore, built around nature preserve trails, a beachfront pool, and direct beach access — private, secluded, and free of vendors or crowds.
On-Site & Nearby
Dive Shop: Scuba Roatan, our on-site dive operator, runs two boat dives a day depending on demand, plus snorkeling trips and custom requests like fishing charters. Whether you're already certified or want to get certified during your stay, their team handles equipment, dive trips, and certification courses — no need to leave the property to gear up.
The Cove Restaurant: Grab a meal or a drink at our on-site restaurant and bar, with ocean views and a menu of local and international dishes.
Pool: Cool off at the beachfront community pool, steps from the bungalow.
Roatan Brewery: A short walk away, with local craft beer and a laid-back jungle vibe.
Beach Access: Step outside onto a secluded stretch of sand — no crowds, no solicitors, just your own patch of Caribbean coastline.
Use of the Car
Airport pickup and use of a car are available: $60/day, or $45/day for stays of 3+ days. It's a 2018 Ford Escape SEL, seats up to 5, and gives you the freedom to explore the island on your own schedule.
Use of Electricity
Electricity is expensive on the island, so most rentals (including ours) bill it separately. Your rate includes a daily allowance of 30 kWh; usage above that is billed at $0.40/kWh, based on meter readings at arrival and departure. Using AC only when needed, and switching off fans and lights when you leave a room, keeps this cost minimal.
Know Before You Book
Palmetto Bay is a growing private community, and a nearby home is currently under construction. Work typically starts around 7:00 AM, so you may hear some daytime activity.

I'll personally meet you at check-in to show you around and make sure you're settled in comfortably.

What an amazing place, this was the perfect place to stay during our time there!! Perfect for me and my husband! Walking distance from the cove and the dive shop! Salome was so amazing and helpful during our time there!! Will definitely stay again if available next time we are there!
Beautiful property, very well, taking care of lots of nice little touches, Salomé and her husband Luca were very responsive and helped with a couple questions and minor issues (mostly user error on our part). They were kind and patient and easy to reach. The property grounds were well taken care of and the on site restaurant bar and pool were wonderful.
A last minute booking that had us wanting to stay forever!
We absolutely loved our stay at Palmetto Bay. We booked a last minute trip (literally the day before) to the island and the property manager made the transition effortless. We loved the quiet, serene setting that was perfect for the kiddos to have space to explore nature. The pool and beach were perfect- beautiful and not at all crowded. Everyone was so kind in the resort and the car rental made it easy to get around the island. Having a few more restaurant options close by would have been nice, but it was definitely not a deal-breaker for us. We will definitely be back to enjoy this slice of paradise!
