Casa Colorada Is Located On Its Own Little Island

Casa Colorada is located on the Utila Cays, just 20 minutes by boat from Utila.

The apartment is facing the ocean and is located in the ground floor of the house with direct access to the ocean. The ambiance of the property invites to relax in a hammock, sunbathe, go snorkeling or swimming and to enjoy quiet evenings around the fire pit.

Moreover the property is close to local restaurants and convenience stores.

This property is based in the ground floor of the house with direct access to the ocean. The first floor is inhabited by the owner and her 2 kids.
The apartment offers two double bedrooms and one triple bedroom, 2 bathrooms with showers, and a spacious and fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Every bedroom is equipped with a fan. Wifi is available in the whole property and there is hot water in the showers.
Casa Colorada is a perfect place for families with children, who want to enjoy quality time with each other in a quiet and original setting.

The Cays are close to Water Cay, an attractive island getaway, plenty dive and snorkel opportunities and Utila itself, where you can enjoy day trips for example to Pumpkin Hill or an Iguana station. If you look for a fishing adventure, you can ask several of our local fishermen, they are happy to take you.

The guests have access to the garden area which includes free use of the fire pit and hammocks provided. Moreover, you can use the bathtub in the garden to enjoy a relaxing bath with sea view.

As this property is located on the Utila Cays, 20 minutes by boat from Utila, there are some important facts to know that are connected with your stay on this island. Furthermore, there are no banks or ATMs at the cays. You can withdraw money only on Utila. Anyways, You can change USD on the cays.
Casa Colorada is based on a bridge connection Jewel and Pidgeon Cay. In order to reach the cays you do need to come by boat. Some local boat - or fishermen offer rides to Utila for a small fee. Normally, a boat leaves in the morning from the cays to Utila and returns on the same day around noon. Nevertheless, a daily commute is not guaranteed. Another option is to charter a boat for 40-50USD.

Staying on the cays offers you the opportunity to experience and be part of a real Honduran fishing island community far away from tourist bustle. The Cayans are a mix of English and Spanish speaking people, who are very friendly, helpful and open minded.

If you like to go diving or learn how to dive ask Anke the owner she is also running a dive operation and can help you with this.

Great host!
Anke was amazing and her place was clean and nice. It was great to hear the waves right outside the window at night. Stargazing in the back yard was incredible.

Awesome place to stay! Wonderful host!
This little apartment was great! Centrally located on the Caye and our host Anke was fastastic. The apartment was well equipted and brightly decorated. We were a little worried about have no A/C but the fans worked great and there was always a breeze so I hardly even noticed. I can't say enough about Anke and her sweet son Andreas, who woke up at 6:00 AM to tell us goodbye on our last day there. We would definitly book here again.

The night's we spent on the cays felt like being in paradise
The accommodation is a bit away from the crowded and sometimes loud island life in Utila. If you want to relax at the seafront, kajak to uninhabited islands, cook in your private kitchen (little pulperias exist so you can buy fruits and vegetables) oder eat in authentic little restaurants you are definitely right here. We wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Anke and her son were awesome ! Very helpful with setting it up so that it was easy to get there. Gave us a very comprehensive tour of the cay and how everything worked on the island. It was relatively easy and inexpensive to get to the town of Utilla from the cay. Anke was also Great to dive with!! We stayed at 3 different places in the Bay Islands on this trip and I can say this place was our favorite place.

Staying in the heart of the Utila Cays
My husband and I decided we wanted to experience what it’s like to be amongst locals of Utila. We picked the absolute PERFECT place for this! I cannot say enough positive things about our host Anke. From the beginning of booking, with all our questions, to the end of our week she made sure we were taken care of. The locals are friendly and accepting. Other than leaving for dives we mostly stayed on the Cay. Restaurant had delicious barracuda. We loved watching the sunset most nights from the dock at the restaurant. I thought maybe no A/C would be hard but we felt like we acclimated quickly to the heat. We loved lounging in the hammocks drinking coffee in the morning and sitting by the ocean in the evening looking at the stars. Definitely a return destination for us.
