My husband and I are originally from Utila and returned with our family for a large 3-day local church event. Joanne and her hubby were fantastic hosts. They provided everything we needed and were super responsive. And because they have been there so long, they really are like locals- and that is a huge compliment coming from us- as we are native islanders now transplanted in the USA.
The property is fantastic. We had the "basement" unit but it was not subpar to anything. Super clean, super comfortable. Beautiful views, and of course listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the iron shore was just a dream.
The only things that could have made our stay better was if there was access to a washing machine onsite and at least one chest of drawers for guests with children. Other than that, I 100% recommend this place to both visitors and Utilians alike. Loved it!!!
