Starfish Beach House - Where the beach is your front yard!

This property is managed through East End Roatan Property Solutions.

Imagine living on the ocean’s shore, steps away from amazing snorkeling on the world’s second largest barrier reef! The Starfish Beach House can make that dream a reality. Vacationing on the white sandy beach in the scenic and secluded North Shore private community of The Village on the Point at Milton Bight.

This home has two large master suites; it is one of only five homes on this beachfront paradise. A perfect vacation getaway for two couples or for a family with older children. The dock in front has a thatched palapa, bench seating and a hammock. The perfect place to see the sunrise, get a private massage or simply enjoy the day. Watch the evening sunsets with your favorite cold beverage or arrange for a romantic candlelit dinner over the water.

On the beach level of the home is an open floor plan. Enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with a stainless gas range and large fridge. Beautiful handcrafted Sunwood cabinets, breakfast bar and indoor table seating for 4. All done in warm earth tones. The AC on lower floor cools kitchen and living room when needed. There are 2 comfortable sofas in the living room tastefully accented with Tommy Bahama throws. A large flat screen Satellite TV and Wi-Fi Internet throughout the house. The front lower deck is accessed by sliding glass doors that offer a picture perfect view of the ocean. Here you will find an island style table for 4, an outdoor shower for rinsing, a hammock and 2 Stand Up Paddle Boards. Two tandem kayaks and three singles are great to explore the ocean neighborhood. Does evening camp fires on the beach sound fun? Take advantage of the stone fire pit out front, roast marshmallows and gaze up at the amazing starlit nights.

The large lower master bedroom is located off the living area, separated by wooden doors for privacy. Offering a king bed and 1 twin, large windows with beautiful ocean views, plenty of closet space with a newly installed AC unit and an overhead fan. The bathroom has a bathtub and shower and is accessible from bedroom or living room.

The outdoor front and rear outer stairways lead up to the second bedroom. A king pillow top bed with lots of pillows and a twin, large windows with beautiful views of the Caribbean Ocean, an en suite bath with shower and bathtub, a large closet, new AC and an overhead fan.

Outside the upper bedroom is a large private deck where there are continual ocean breezes and 180-degree views of the ocean. Handmade lounge chairs, colorful cushions, bench seating and dining table make this a perfect place to spend the afternoon.

A nearby dive shop will take you out diving or snorkel, may even drop you off at the dock in front of the house at the end of the day. Afterwards you can sit back and relax as an authentic local island meal is prepared for you at home upon request.

2023 Update - Starfish has gotten a fresh coat of exterior paint! New windows are being made and interior paint to begin over the summer! Updates and improvements to make your stay enjoyable!

Great views and location
By Really enjoyed our stay at the Starfish Beach Manor. First off Sherri the property manager was friendly and gracious enough to meet us at airport and escort us to property via the grocery store. In addition, even though we had an Enterprise rental car reservation, for whatever reason they did not have a vehicle available for us. Sherri made a call and found us a vehicle for the week. Property was has advertised. Bring bug spray! Recommend the atv/zipline/sloth tour. Anthony’s Key dolphin adventure was fun. Next door to the property we enjoyed Turquoise Bay beach and a dive. Beautiful clear waters with unbelievable coral reef reachable by kayak. AC works great and is a small additional electricity charge, worth it.

What a great place!
We stayed at Starfish Beachhouse 3/8/24 - 3/25/24 and had a great stay. The house is basically as advertised and met all our expectations. It has every amenity you will need and more. My only recommendation is to replace the tv, the speakers are blown. Sherri is extremely quick at returning emails, Deysi met us at the airport and took us to the grocery store and to the house, very thankful for that. Overall, the house is perfect. Find the info binder right away. We didn't find it til day 3 and there is tons of great info in it. Notes about the island: Find Scott 3 houses east on the beach for great snorkling and a mindblowing dive, he has the boat on the dock. There is a little snorkling off the dock. You can find tons of conches and starfish but the reef is too far to reach. Driving through the locals village is tight, kids and dogs everywhere!! It's like playing the video game Frogger!! Drive slow through here, this is their home. 1 thing we didn't know is Roatan will not accept US cash that is written on or torn. They will reject the tiniest little tear and they inspect each bill because their bank will not accept the damaged money. Bring fresh crisp bills and treat it like fine china. Overall a great vacation with the foundation of a great VRBO rental. Thanks Sherri and Deysi.

Amazing Location
If you like to be away from the hustle and bustle, this is the place for you. The beach and house are very private and the few neighbors and locals are extremely friendly. The house itself is pretty basic, but has all the amenities you would need. Like said in many of the other reviews, the sand flies are the only downside. They are bad, just be prepared. We used the provided kayaks almost everyday and explored the amazing coral reef and mangroves just steps from the house. We rented a car on our trip and explored the island from end to end with no issues. This is a great place to say, you will not regret it. Find Scott a few house down the beach to the East if you want an epic private scuba dive or snorkeling tour from his boat.

Beautiful property, wouldn't have found it on our own. It's off the beaten path. Appreciated Daisy meeting us at the airport and taking us to the grocery store before going to the property. Rex was great, with him around we always felt safe and he's always willing to help - really liked the fresh coconut water that he picked us. Would recommend to anyone.

Misleading and disastrous. Good luck to those who follow.
We rented this house for a once in a life time vacation. For a 2 week stay for a snorkeling, kayaking , paddle boarding and evening drinks at the pool vacation. The pictures in the listing are about 15 years old. The description is misleading compared to what the house really is. Advertised as having a pool. When arrived no operational pool. The Interior needs a lot of work and MAJOR TLC or remodel. Needs interior paint, Windows are dysfunctional. Multiple lights not working. Smoke alarms taken down. Dock is over run with locals. DVD players do not work. Pulled a Frog out of the toilet. Roaches and ants. Holes in the walls exposing the outside of the house so small creatures can enter the home. Electrical problems. Water damage. The washer and dryer are outside and rusted. There are multiple other problems VRBO should inspect the house before it’s rented out again. It’s just unbearable to stay here in this condition. Left as soon as we could find another place. Gave up over $1000. Just to get out of there early. Good luck to the next renters.

An associate of Starfish met us at the airport, showed us the grocery store and lead us to the property. It is quite the adventurous drive, but you are on Roatan. Arriving at Milton Bight is a dream! Turquoise waters, house right on the beach with pier in front, just like described on line. Even though the inside of the house needs some TLC, it did not lessen our experience at all. You live outside, and the outside is amazing. We don’t want to rave too much because we don’t want this place to become too popular since we want to go back! ( and want to make sure the place doesn’t rent out completely😉)

Great location for privacy, serenity and quiet. The kitchen is well equipped. Fast internet. Friendly neighbors. Upstairs deck has great views and breeze, plenty of seating and lounge chairs. Coffee at dawn on palapa great start to day. Buy your groceries before get here. Communication was good with manager over a few issues and resolved quickly. . Be aware accessing the upstairs bedroom is outdoors— plan ahead on rainy days. We appreciated the numerous conch shells, games, and books. Thank you!

Perfect for us
This property is amazing and removed from the "tourist" area and that's exactly what we preferred. The house and property was perfect and met all our need and there were many hidden bonuses!!! The drive through the village was a bit surprising, but trust me you'll love the culture and once you see the ocean you'll be sold. We had a hard time leaving and I most definitely could have stayed forever. And if you want exceptional cooking, massages and the best care for your children. Be sure to ask for Burlee... You will love, Love, LOVE her!!!

Relaxing, beautiful beachfront home!
We absolutely loved staying at the Starfish Beach house on Milton Point! This was our first time for my wife and I to visit Roatan and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The home was comfortable and clean and literally just steps off the beach. The community dock was great and you could even snorkel off the end of it and see a few fish. It is possible to kayak or canoe out to awesome snorkeling as well. We slept in the upstairs bedroom and the breezes from the sea kept it cool enough we never even had to use the air conditioning. The local village people were very friendly and kind and we discovered Miss Sandra's little cafe and ate there a number of times. We had a couple of requests for items (more towels...more drinking water) and the property managers, Sherry and Brian, were super responsive and took care of our needs right away. They also offered to meet us at the airport and they helped us line up someone to come to the house to do our Covid tests before leaving, which was super convenient. I could write a lot about our time in Roatan and our wonderful explorations, but you'll have to explore for yourself. We wished our time there wouldn't end...it was a perfect beachfront stay!

Outstanding Oceanfront, Dated House
There’s no better view and proximity to the ocean. The palapa is a great place to hang out and the surrounding water is partially cleared of sea grass, so a nice sandy bottom. Nature at her finest. The amenities varied - beautiful Weber BBQ, nice outdoor seating and the king bed was very comfy - but the snorkelling equipment was useless, the water cooler had no handles, and we were out of power and Internet for parts of two days in a row (nobody’s fault, but still). Transportation and location - really, you’re quite far in and remote, but that’s how you get the spectacular oceanfront. Definitely can’t walk anywhere and the roads are quite bad leading to the property. The house is pretty dated and some doors and windows are difficult to get open, with one screen ripped….not great for keeping bugs out, and believe me, there are plenty of mosquitoes and sand fleas. I still gave this property 4 stars, because it’s a trade off - spectacular sunsets and views and swimming, including the reef close by - and a kayak for your use - but there are definitely some aspects of the location and the house that are challenging.

Starfish beach house is a perfect location to stay off the beaten path and is a very quiet, private location with some great nearby restaurants. A great place to stay as a home base to explore the island. Beds are comfortable and the house is well equipped for water sports and cooking. Sherri and Brian are great hosts that will go out of their way to accommodate your needs.

Overall nice but needs some work
We choose this property mainly for its location. Milton Bight is a beautiful out of the way area, very quiet and close to fishing and snorkelling. The property is located just steps from the quiet beach. There are a few other rentals but the area is still quiet. The washing machine was changed while we where there. The BBQ needs to be upgraded. The front windows all leak when it rains(some a lot). The upstairs shower head needs upgrade. Instruction book needs garbage info and oven lighting info. My main issue is for the price you are paying, the house need to be close to perfect and its not. Mainly, general maintenance issues. Our group rents all over the world, so we know what to expect in this price range.We may stay again next year but we have a list of requirements that would need to be address before hand. I WOULD recommend hiring locals like Charles Rivers (from Milton Bight) for fishing/ snorkelling and driving(Eldon's and restaurants) trips. Our holiday was awesome because of the location and the local Guide(Charles) and was Ok as far as the house goes. Rent a car if not using locals and bring BUG STUFF. All in all a nice experience but could be better. BUG STUFF!!

Off the Beaten Path and Quite Charming
All I can really say here is that the house is as listed by VRBO. Sherri and Brian the property managers worked hard to assure we had a nice stay. I would recommend the property to others with some reservation that I cannot expand on within the character count restriction of this website. So to the reader, please know, we had a lovely week and the house was as listed in VRBO. The below is for VRBO and can be left out. Just post what was stated above: My wife does our reviews. I'm not a writer, she is a professional copywriter. She has done an extensive, fair, balanced and accurate review on this property that she has already posted to another travel website. I would have liked to have posted the same review here. However, VRBO has a limit as to how many words can be used in a review posted on their site. A very restrictive character count, I would like to add. So it is expected by VRBO that I or my wife take the time to summarize her review, and it would take time. Additionaly, VRBO has given us a time constraint in which we must post her review (14 days less what days have already passed) that does not work within our current work and travel schedule, so we do not have time to accommodate VRBO by summarizing the review my wife has already written and posted elswhere. Therefore, she can only provide what she has already provided above and in the short answer questions. I hope that some of your readers will take the time to seek out my wife's review, which was written by Kia Gary. It is a good review and one I think the property owner would be proud of. I would have liked to have posted it in its entirety here, but , as stated before, there is a character restriction up on this website that makes it impossible. Thank you.

A Star for Starfish
Yes you can find starfish here! This is an adorable house directly on the beach with direct water access. There is a pier you can watch the sunset from as well as from upstairs deck or lower deck. There is also a fire pit where you can watch the sun set from right in front of your private fire pit. The house is well equipped for cooking. There is a reef fairly close to the house where you can take out the house kayak to snorkel. Sunsets every night! I highly recommend starfish Donna Moreen N.J.
