Beach Casita, Secluded beauty at Paradise Regained

The Beach Casita is part of the Paradise Regained properties and is a rustic, self-contained oceanfront retreat with views of the Caribbean ocean, access to the Paradise Regained oceanfront and some of Utila's best reefs, excellent snorkeling and a saltwater swimming pool. With beach chairs available and our beach gazebo with hammocks and Adirondack rocking chairs, you might not want to leave. But if you do, it's just a 15 minute walk to the center of town. The Casita is a rustic retreat among the palms. It enjoys its own private and screened-in seating area with views of the ocean, a small kitchenette/eating space, romantic shower, a double bed, ceiling fans, air-conditioning and free wifi. Sand beneath your toes, the sound of the waves lapping on the reef, palms swaying in the wind … Grab your snorkel and mask (or rent from us) and in less than 30 seconds you'll be swimming in the warm Caribbean ocean. A short swim takes you to some of the best reef sites on Utila’s south side. For those not tempted to snorkel our stunning reefs, we offer a shared salt water pool and seating (shared only with other Paradise Regained guests). An outdoor shower is provided to rinse the salt from your skin before retiring to your private deck or our stunning shared beachfront with a drink in hand, to watch the sun set over the ocean. Hi! We're Scott & Stephanie, the on-site property managers. We'll be here to help make your beach vacation as amazing as possible. Anything you need, just ask. We have free beach games and fun pool stuff to use. You can also rent bikes and snorkel gear from us. Additional maid and laundry services are available at a reasonable cost. Special occasion? Let us know how we can help! Utila, a small Caribbean island of 17 square miles, is surrounded by shallow reefs, with several beaches featuring golden sands, and clear blue waters. While the island is better known as a holiday destination for scuba divers, its appeal is well suited to those beyond the stereotypical visitor, with a simple and rustic lifestyle that’s both inviting and charming. This is true tropical island living without the pretentiousness you find on some other Caribbean islands. Take a fast, air-conditioned ferry or light aircraft from Roatan or La Ceiba and in less than an hour, you will be immersed in a culture reminiscent of days of old. Cheap drinks are plentiful, as are the islands' eccentrics. Imagine something out of the Pirates of the Caribbean with tuk-tuks (small Indian taxis), and you won’t be far off. Prepare to be charmed by this unique little island, pack a bag of adventurous spirit, your mask and snorkel and a desire to experience true island life, Utila style! Paradise Regained is perfectly positioned on the coast, only 120 feet from some of the best dive/snorkeling sites on Utila’s southeast side. Rent a bike ($5/day) or a golf cart ($250/week) and the sights and sounds of Utila town are within a 5 minute drive or a leisurely 10 minute walk from your quiet Caribbean retreat.
