Mike Carter

I have an extensive background in customer service with years of retail experience. My experience at World Watersports and Divers Direct (the world’s largest retailer of scuba diving equipment) gave me great exposure into building and growing the number one web site for scuba diving equipment. This business background and customer service philosophy will serve Roatan Vacation Rentals Customers well whether I am taking care of your house or making your vacation one to remember. I look forward to working with you.

Jimmy Johnson

My name is Jimmie Johnson and I’m a true native of Roatan. Growing up on the island has been a wonderful experience. I have spent time working in a wide array of jobs ranging from electronic repairs to being on a ship. Three years ago, I starting working for Roatan Vacation Rentals where I mostly deal with guest interactions and reservations along with other things. Working here has been challenging and fun and have learned a lot along the way.

My wife Melissa and I made our very first trip to Roatan in 2010 and fell in love with this beautiful Island as soon as we stepped off the plane. We came back later that year to look at property and bought some building lots. The following year we came with our 3 daughters Hayley, Hagan and Hannah and spent the summer. While waiting to get on the plane to go home, we did not want to leave and knew then that Roatan would be our home. After many years of patience, and many trips down, here we are! I am a proud member of the Roatan Vacation Rentals Team.

I retired from my previous job as a Sr. PM in the US after 30 years, 1 month and 2 days of service with my background in Electrical Project Management. I have been involved with all types of construction from Health Care Facilities, Power Generation Plants, Industrial, Laboratory and Research, Educational and other projects. I believe that with my background, I will be an asset to RVR for many years to come. If you see me around, feel free to strike up a conversation. It has been said that I have never met a stranger and with my North Carolina southern hospitality, I love to chat. Hope to see you soon in paradise!!

I am a sailor, graduated as a furniture maker, have a background working as a carpenter and worked as a contractor in Europe.

We inspect the properties and if there are any issues, we are the ones to help out providing high quality maintenance and repair and ensure a smooth and comfortable stay.

Dennis Hill

I am Dennis Hill, born and raised on Roatan. Growing up on the island one can face many adversities, I have been fortunate to strive through these, and learn. I’d say that everything I’ve been through has landed me here – the beginning of my career path. I started to work at this business when I was 19 years old as an Assistant in the Accounting Department. I was granted the opportunity to perform multiple tasks, intensify my skills, and grow. Leading me into exceling amongst the crowd. After a few years, an opportunity was presented before me, to serve as the Controller – at the beginning it was challenging but my determination to learn the business from within was greater than any fear.

When not working I enjoy quality time with friends, volleyball, learning and growing. I like to think that we’re here for a reason and everyone must live their season.
