Stay at the famous Jolly Octopus Beach Bar! Beach Front with Water toys included

This once popular bar is converted to a unique private home on the beach. The open concept keeps the theme and feel of the bar, with some of the original furnishings, such as the bar facing the kitchen, the original sign, and the large open windows that take advantage of the beautiful location. We’ve added plenty of upgrades and amenities, such as free wi-fi, air-conditioning, a full kitchen with new appliances, a large travertine shower for two, granite counter tops, a separate walk in closet/changing room, access to washer/dryer, a private upper deck for sunbathing, and bali doors that open to allow an unobstructed view of the water. The beach is quiet, and perfect for swimming, snorkeling or scuba diving from the shore.
Property comes with kayaks, and sup boards.

Nestled in the quiet and peaceful area of Sandy Bay, this secluded home is perfect for a romantic getaway, or up to a family of 4, with a fully fenced in private parking area. The studio style layout includes an eating space, a queen bed, plus two sofas that convert to twin size beds.

Located 2 doors down from the Real Kings Resort, you have access to the 300 foot two story dock next to the Jolly Octopus.

We can assist in arranging your transportation needs, plus the property manager is always available to help make your stay an unforgettable, stress-free experience.

Amazing view!
Me and my Husband had such a great stay at the Jolly Octopus house! The view is literally worth everything. You are literally 5 steps from the beach. I appreciate the new sliding doors that were installed so you can see out to the ocean. Conrad and Dwayne were amazing hosts. I recommend to book with Conrad 100% if you are visiting the island. I know he has other properties as well in Roatan. Thanks again for the amazing stay!

Excellent Beach front stay for snorkeling
The Jolly Octopus was a sweet and perfect house for our vacation. It was immaculately clean and a short swim or kayak from the house is the mesoamerican reef where we snorkeled daily. The water was beautiful and we saw more varieties of sea life than we have seen in many years of scuba and snorkel. Dwyne is the house manager and he was always just a text away if we had a question. He was super responsive and very nice. We were surprised that the house had fresh drinking water, a washer and dryer, lots of snorkel equipment, two kayaks and a paddleboard. There were also some floaties for snorkeling. Walking the beach was lovely also. The house does sit in a local, residential neighborhood and we always felt safe and secure. The more commercial hotel zones are closer to Westend but we prefer to avoid those areas. There is a new paved road being built into Westend where there is plenty of shopping and restaurants.

Nice little beach house
We enjoyed our stay here! The property manager Dwayne was very attentive to any need we had while staying! The owner was great at communicating with us while preparing for our stay! He even arranged a phone call before we flew in to make sure we had all the information we needed for our stay on the island! The beach house was clean and very nice! It was perfect for our little family of 3. The upper deck was an amazing spot to just sit back and relax while listening to the ocean. You can hear the ocean from the bed which was amazing to fall asleep to! The house had everything you need to cook and even has a grill on the back balcony. There was a sweet little orange and white cat that our son fell in love with who would come to see us in the morning and in the evening for so food and belly rubs! We named him Jolly! Overall we enjoyed our stay at the Jolly Octopus!

Great decks!
This place has two great deck. My personal fave is the top deck to get a good view. The place was clean, kitchen well stocked with necessities, the bed was quite comfortable, laundry available, excellent shower with two shower heads! We didnt get out into the water due to the heavy rainfall sadly. We did have a minor weather related issue and the property manager/host sorted it out very quickly. Amazing communication.

Great name and great place
I very much enjoyed my stay on Roatan Island and this property went a long way in making it memorable. For starters, Dewayne, the property manager, was courteous and professional; always responding promptly to the various issues that came up. It was much appreciated when he followed me to the airport in case any issues came up with my rental car (I deemed it a necessary precaution seeing as how I didn't have phone service). A great renovation job and top notch cleanliness made the place as comfortable as could be. And the rooftop sundeck (with ocean view, of course) is a phenomenal tranquil escape. One thing about the location is that it's about 5 miles from the main tourist drag, where, from what I could tell, many of the restaurants and dive shops are located. Now if you plan on doing a substantial amount of driving on Roatan and you have that Western sensibility of always being on well-paved roads, you're in for a bit of an adjustment phase. The main island road is under construction in a few stretches and in others you really have to proceed cautiously. Now while the property is on a tranquil, beachfront lot, the access road at the rear is not so much of a road as it is a very bumpy passage way. If you're into off-roading you'll be in your element. But who knows, once you get used to this condition, you may find it lends to the place a certain charm. Seeing as how this place used to be a bar I can only hope intoxicated patrons chose to sleep on the beach.

Quiet Time in Roatan
We enjoyed our stay at Jolly Octopus. It was away from the tourist areas and allowed us to choose when we wanted to get into the busier scene. The cottage was stocked with all our cooking needs which was great for our hangout nights. Plenty of towels, both beach and shower for both of us. We had some issues with bugs when we walked around outside. You will need to purchase bug spray for sure (at least in July when we visited). The owner and manager were very communicative and responsive as advertised!

Charming Beach House Great for Couples
Property was very clean. Roof top deck was awesome for viewing sunsets. Not too far from nice beaches and other tourist attractions. I would definitely go again. The houses behind the rental were not in good shape, but the people were all very nice. The beach in front of the house was not for swimming, but the reef about 200 yards out had great snorkeling and there were often dive boats out there. The view from house was great, but to view the beach you had to open the sliding solid wood door which made the house hot so unless you wanted to forgo a cool house you had no view when door was closed. Not having a good view of the beach from the inside unless door was open was very disappointing. .

Nice to be in a neighborhood and not in a tourist trap
We were a short taxi ride away from doing everything we wanted to (we used Sam all week and he really took care of us). The Jolly Octopus was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The private deck was such a pleasure. Dwayne and Conrad were excellent hosts and we will return.
