Hello @shark1
Please check Moving to Roatan this might help with questions you didn’t even know you had.
Since you are already on the island i recommend you to go to Roatan Rentals in West End, they own 5 apartments in West End, they have long term and short term rentals and the apartments are very nice.
As for the rest, good idea on renting a scooter for the first days or just even to have it. Fast and easy to use for small errands. Just remember that we do have a lot of rain so for those days a car is needed but you can work it out without a car for the first year until you get everything together. You will of course see a lot of the island from now to March which is great.
