Wonderful Stay In Utila

This was such a lovely and well maintained property. The furnishings and appliances were great, the linens were high quality and plentiful, generally just a nice place to come back to at the end of a long day of activities. Blanca is a real pro and made us feel at home, she went out of her way to make the experience wonderful for my wife and I. Thank you so much, we will definitely be back.

Reasonably good privacy with empty lots on either side and bushes around the back. Very comfortable and quiet. Had everything we needed. Manager very responsive to our needs. It is on a dusty gravel road a short walk from town.

Wondrous little studio

Last minute, we grabbed this place to extend our stay on Útila and WOW….we got lucky. Very well appointed kitchen allowed us to cook some gourmet meals. Only matters to chefs but…great knives and sharp..with a quality sharpener! The bed was very comfy, bathroom had a bidet! Wonderful view and sounds of the ocean crashing in front of our eyes. The owners were on site this week. Mark and Steve are amazing guys always aware of our needs or questions. Great location close to. Sun Street, but away from the noise. Don’t hesitate- this little place in Heaven is real!

Sea Escape wonder

What a lovely property! The location is a nice jaunt to the main road, but with that comes relaxation and quietness. We stayed in the 1 bedroom condo- and were the only ones in the home. Blanca was accessible and organized tuk tuks to and from the property. The condo is well equipped and the linens were nice. The a/c was wonderful and generator a great back up. The landscape is beautiful and lends well to food for the iguanas and local birds. Would book again in a heartbeat. Stephen, Mark & Blanca- thank you for sharing your home.

Utila vacation

The place was really cute and well appointed. Our first night and morning were disrupted by construction noise because they were replacing the tile upstairs. Strong smell of gas coming from the ATVs in the garage, which was a real bummer. The host sent someone to check on the situation but unfortunately there wasn't any way of resolving it. The host was really helpful and responsive but this was unfortunately out of her control. They would need to park their ATVs somewhere else and I’m sure they probably don’t want to do that.

The BEST!!

We’ve been going to Utila since 2003 and have stayed many places, but this has got to be the best places to stay on Utila! We rented the studio apartment under the Coral Ridge House and it has EVERYTHING you could possibly want or need in a vacation rental! Mark & Stephen have created a beautiful home away from home with every amenity you could possibly need. And the beautiful views from even inside are breathtaking, but open the glass French doors and walk out onto the huge patio with rocking chairs, table & chairs and 2 hammocks, just steps from the water and it will absolutely take your breath away! We originally booked the Coral Ridge Studio apartment from August 9th through September 6th, but didn’t want to leave so we extended our stay till September 16th. And when you're staying at Coral Ridge House or Studio Apartment, anything and everything you could possibly want or need, whether it’s groceries, transportation, dive shops, or just places you want to go or see, then Blanca (manager) is the best of the best for taking care of everything you could possibly ask for! She’s not only a friend of ours, she’s also from Utila and an incredible asset to everyone who stays at the Coral Ridge House and studio apartment! So what are you waiting for, book your stay at the Coral Ridge House or Studio Apartment and come on down for the time of your life! Thank you Mark, Stephen & Blanca for the incredible vacation rental you’ve created! We’ll be back!! Cyndy & Tim

Clean and well kept property

We enjoyed our stay. Coral Ridge is a modern, and well kept property. Perfect view of the ocean, and the breeze was nice to have. Reasonable distance from the main part of town, so walking is easy. Also easy to contact the property manager, Blanca, and she responds almost immediately. Would recommend this place to anyone!

Amazingly comfortable house steps away from the beach where the sunrises everyday

We had a wonderful week staying at Coral Ridge House. It is a very clean, comfortable house. At night, you hear the waves lightly crashing, as the sound lulls you to sleep. There are two rocking chairs to view the ocean on. It is a 5 minute walk from Bando Beach which is beautiful, and a 15 minute into the centre of town. Our host Blanca was very friendly and helpful.

The best place to stay in Utila!

If you are looking for a beautiful home on Utila that is right on the ocean, walking distance to restaurants, shops and beaches, yet far enough away from the noise of the town, then this is the place for you! We spent 11 glorious nights in the studio apartment relaxing on the patio watching dolphins, egrets and herons, as well as all the dive boats that frequent the sites right out front. The apartment was very clean and beautifully designed with plenty of storage for all of our belongings. We grilled many evenings and found the kitchen well equipped for all of our cooking needs. In addition to all of this, Mark and Stephen were the perfect hosts. They helped us with our travel choices from Roatan to Utila, as well as put us in touch with Utila Dive Center, which fit all of our diving needs. They also had many wonderful restaurant recommendations, as well as suggestions for other things to do in addition to diving. On the island, Blanca picked us up at the airport when we arrived and took us to our ferry the morning we left the island. In addition, she checked in often to see if we needed anything. All in all, we found the Coral Ridge House to be the perfect place to stay and highly recommend it to everyone!
