Nice Quality House + A Lot of Space!
This is a well-built house with a lot of room to spread out! It is about 1.5 km (I think) from the main road on the island, so you can get some peace and quiet. A short walk to town and an even shorter walk to Circle K for snacks, etc. Overall a great value. No negatives, a solid choice for a group stay!

Privacy and tranquility
Beautiful property! Pictures need to be updated but wow! The plunge pool is perfect for cooling off from the sun. The garden is alive! Beautiful! Little ways from town, tuk tuks are always near or get a rental in town(golf cart, scooter, etc) Communication with owner and property manager are great. Any issues or concerns just contact them. Realize you’re on an island time, it’s not a city pace. Enjoy the views and sunshine. Relax and enjoy the tranquility. House is perfect for two couple and a few friends(or kids) Aircon is great in the bedrooms but fans are a must. Loved the house plus the Utila brewery is just steps away.

It was a beautiful home situated in a picturesque location. The wrap around deck was great
We stayed with our daughter and son in law and it was very nice. All the comforts of home. It was peaceful and quiet and far enough away from the nightlife to enjoy nature. We would recommend this location to those coming to Utila.

Realy beautifull and quiet place.
Nous avons louer cette maison pour que toute la famille puisse être ensemble le temps de nos cours de plongée. Notre centre de plongée étais au centre de la rue principale près de bando beach, et la distance entre la maison et le centre de plongée se faisait très bien à pied. La fraîcheur de la petite piscine nous était apprécié surtout que les journée était particulièrements chaude lors de notre séjour. Comme la maison est entourés d'arbres et de plantes, les moustiques y sont nombreux, n'oubliez pas votre chasse moustique si vous voulez profiter de la belle nature qui vous entoure. C'est un endroit vraiment calme où vous ne serai pas déranger par le bruit comme sur la principale.

Positively amazing!!!
Where do I even begin about this gem of a home? You cannot go wrong by renting Matthew's home!! It is beautiful, spacious, clean and just lovely!! The grounds are immaculate, just beautiful plants (some that I have never even heard of!! There is a small pool that was a total surprise to us!! La Mayur is set back in the jungle, it is only a short golf cart ride to town and to the beach. The house itself is stocked well with linens and towels. The 2 bedrooms on the first floor have the A/C units and they work well. We rarely used them as we just left all of the windows and doors open. The home is secure, it is fenced in. We always felt completely safe, whether we were at home or in town!! The complete walk around deck of the house is fantastic for watching the sunrise and sunset. There is a lovely swing on the porch to sit and watch the thousands of fireflies that show off nightly. You might catch an iquana in the back field or even way up in the trees!! This home is lovely as is Matthew, the home owner and Shelby, the caretaker! You won't be sorry for staying here while on Utila!!

Great house
I loved the view of the mountains from the porch of the House, the house was big enough for our family of 7, during the day we opened the windows and doors to let the breeze in. Mr Shelby the manager it’s an amazing gentlemen, always there to answer our questions, he invited us to his botanical garden and it was an amazing and learning experience. The house it’s close enough to town that you could walk to or take a tuk tuk for 1.50 to the beach. I would definitely recommend this house.

Jungle life
We rented the house for a week in mid March. The house was large. When we got off the ferry there was a gentleman holding a sign with our name on it. He did not speak english and we speak very little Spanish. This is the first time that I have rented a property that a property manager did not come to let us know the ins and outs of the house. The master bedroom bed is so hard that my husband and I would wake in the night hurting. The kitchen needs a good deep cleaning.The coffee pot did not work, we were going to buy one but could not find one on the island. The outside was nice and well kept and the pool was nice to relax in. The property is located in a nice quiet area. We did find a few tarantula in the house.

Great Location
If relaxation and tranquility are what you're looking for in your vacation to Utila then this is the perfect Location. The views from the balconies and deck is fantastic, a great spot to relax and enjoy your morning coffee. The location is far enough from town to be peaceful and quiet but close enough to walk to restaurants and shopping. The pool is perfect for relaxing and cooling off when the sun gets a little too hot, but if the beach is what you enjoy, it is just a 15 minute walk to the public beach or a short ride in a tuk-tuk taxi for about $1 per person. There were six adults in our group for our three-week stay. We rented a golf cart and explored the island, rented quads to go up Pumpkin Hill to enjoy the fabulous views from there. We took a tour to Water Cays for snorkeling and spent a day at Neptune snorkeling, swimming and just relaxing on the beach. We only wish we had found this treasure a little sooner so that we could have spent more time there. Would recommend anyone staying in Utila check out Neptunes. The locals are friendly and make you feel welcome and at home wherever you go. We got to know some of them quite well & we're sorry to say goodbye to them. The property manager, Shelby McNabb, was very friendly and accommodating and helped make our stay a pleasant one. We would definitely recommend this house to anyone wishing to visit Utila.
