Little Cay: Private Heaven in Honduras
by Sheilakee
If you REALLY want to get away from it all, this private island in the Bay of Honduras is perfect. The island is approx one acre, with a main house, a small guest house and a small shack for the generator. Stove and fridge gas powered, indoor plumbing with cistern water (bring drinking water)
House is lovely, island is fabulous. You really feel like you're alone in paradise - palm trees, pelicans, hermit crabs and you. Totally private, with people just a radio call away (make sure the radio works before the manager leaves) You're cell phone will probably work, although I doubt you'll turn it on.
Pick up your supplies on Utila before heading out (Bush's supermarket has everything - don't buy beef!) Fridge is not huge but there was a large cooler for beer.
Upstairs in main house has two double beds, one single in a nice breezy room, downstairs is a double bed but the room can be hot out of the breeze. Guest house sleeps three but doesn't look as breezy.
This is as remote as I could have hoped for. It's not for everyone! Make sure you really get along with your travel partners because not everyone likes that much quiet.
To watch the sun rise and set on your own island is an experience everyone should have once in their life. The snorkeling is unbelievable and very safe, even if you've never snorkeled before.
