Turtles, dolphins, parrots, and more…we love being surrounded by nature here in Roatan!


Rental Highlights

Casa Delfin

Located next to the dolphins of Anthony’s Key Resort, Casa Delfin is a fantastic over-the-water home now available to rent. This unique accommodation gets you as close to the sea as possible. See for yourself!

Casa Delfin owners Gary Walter and Tanya Smith, from Oregon, bought this Sandy Bay home in June 2019. “Currently, we are vacationing a few times a year in our new property, with the intention of being full-time residents in the next few years,” Tanya says.

“It came as a surprise as to how much we loved Roatan,” she continues. “Our intention was to vacation, scuba dive and enjoy the culture. We did not expect to look at properties before we returned home from our first trip here together, but after experiencing the people and playing in the waters, we didn’t want to leave.”

“We were introduced to Mike Carter through the Lawson Rock front desk,” Tanya explains. “We were staying at Casa Azul, next door, and popped in to see if the community had a local realtor onsite. After working with Mike on our real estate purchase, we decided to meet the team he works with through the property management branch and were impressed with the team that works for Roatan Vacation Rentals.”

“Roatan has a culture that has a simplicity, a generosity, a family community and an energy that is contagious. We found, through our experience, the locals love and take pride in their little piece of paradise and enjoy sharing it with others,” Tanya says.

“When looking for a property, we wanted a location that kept us submerged in that culture, rather than choosing a property in a gated community surrounded by other expats. We have met the greatest people who we now have the pleasure of having as neighbors.

“In addition to wanting to be a part of their community we also wanted to be near the water,” she continues. “The water and the reef that surround Roatan are some of the best we’ve seen around the world. Having a home literally on top of the water is an added bonus. We love to snorkel and scuba dive, and we can do that right off of our personal dock, in warm, clear water. So for us, to have community, simplicity and water recreation at our fingertips…..we couldn’t be happier with our decision to call Roatan home.”

You can call Casa Delfin your temporary home during your next vacation in Roatan. Come stay – Literally – on the water!
