The Big Beach house is a luxurious 3 bedroom, 3 bath home (plus sleeping loft with half bath) located on the soft white sand beach in the small expatriate community of Milton Point. The home was completed in February 2004 and is beautifully finished with Italian tile floors, windows and doors constructed from local hardwoods and a fully appointed kitchen with granite counters.
Throughout the home the owners have used many wood slatted windows, which open up completely, to take full advantage of the constant breeze at Milton Point.
The home was designed with the beautiful view of the beach and palm trees in mind. All rooms have a view of the sea and the great room is surrounded by 8 foot high sliding glass doors. This literally combines the outdoor and indoor living spaces. When you wake up in the morning you will hear the wind rustling the palm fronds outside the master bedroom and when you open your eyes you can see the sea and beach. The feeling you experience is tranquility.
The master shower is quite spacious. While maintaining your showering privacy you can open up the top half of the wood slatted windows allowing the warm Caribbean breeze to flow through and combined with the skylights, it is like showering outdoors.
Covered decks surround the home and lead up to the 3rd floor Overlook Deck. The Overlook Deck is high up on the front of the house and makes for a wonderful spot to sit and watch the activities on the beach and in the sea.
The home comes with a little under a half acre of land with 100 feet of beach front. The property has been professional landscaped and is surrounded by numerous exotic flowering hibiscus and bougainvillea, all irrigated automatically.
The Big Beach house is located on Roatan’s north shore, within the small expat community of The Village on the point at Milton. The 6 homeowners share a freshwater pool, pier and of course the lovely white sand beach. Milton Point is a private peninsula of land, on the sea side of an area of mangroves. The mangroves are home to numerous birds and fish. As the owner of The Big Beach House you park your car in your private 3 car garage and drive your 6 passenger golf cart (included) over a boardwalk and along sandy pathways to your home. The location offers privacy and appeals to those who enjoy the wildlife that surrounds areas not heavily influenced by tourism. There is a lot to do in the water surrounding Milton Point. The waters are perfect for snorkeling and diving. Between the shore and the continuous barrier reef are numerous submerged islands of coral, home to many species of colorful tropical fish. In the evenings while enjoying sunsets from the pier it is common to see feeding Eagle rays, Permit and Bonefish. You can take your kayaks (1-single, 1-tandem) through the mangrove tunnels, used by the local fishermen to get from bay to bay without having to leave the calm waters of the protective reef. The location is only a 10 minute drive to the shopping and restaurants in French Harbour or a short walk to the Turquoise Bay Resort for a tropical beverage on their outdoor deck or dinner in the air conditioned restaurant. $775,000.
