This was a trip with my grown children and their +1. The property is one in a million, everything we could ask for plus. I think our kids appreciated it more once we took a drive down to West Bay and West End. The location is peaceful, safe and cared for. We loved our time at the house, swimming off the dock and snorkeling at our leisure. The view is beautiful and so relaxing not being in the heart of all the tourist chaos. Suzanne (the owner) has classic taste, the house is well appointed and cared after. Jose, the caretaker is conscious and attentive. He knew our coming and going and was always there to greet us. We did have a fair amount of rain, but it didn't matter as we could all catch up on sleeping in! Suzanne, thank you for sharing your home and Jose, thank you for making our trip memorable! All the best in 2024!

Casa Cowee is truly a special place! My wife and I, and our two children (ages 11 and 12) stayed for 12 days in the beginning of June - and it was a trip of a lifetime. We are avid snorkelers - and the snorkeling on Roatan is amazing - but the best part is some of the best reef is directly in front of the property and accessible from the pier. Moreover, there are other nearby reef sections perfect for snorkeling that you can get to by Kayak. Night Snorkeling from this area is amazing as well - too many octopus to count! The property itself is amazing if you are not looking to be in town. We felt like we were living in the middle of the jungle (because we were) and loved every part of it. But I cannot go any further without saying how perfect it is to have JOSE on the property. He was awesome, and our family grew close to him over the short time we were there - he was there to assist with anything and everything - and made us feel really secure and like nothing could go wrong. Super nice gentlemen, and Jose absolutely made our stay at Casa Cowee that much more special. The location is great as well - 10-15 minutes to West End if you want to go that way - but there are 3 great restaurants within walking distance as well. THe restaurant at Anthony's Key was top notch (food, staff, everything) - and Blue Bahia had a perfect small diving hotel/restaurant vibe to it. The owners were great - and we spent hours there hanging out as well.

We were a group of 6 adult family members. Most everything about Casa Cowee perfect. Jose and Channin are awesome and were available to help us with anything we needed. The snorkeling is fantastic all over out front, especially along the side of dolphin pen on side closest to house. It was very very hard leaving today.

My family and friends (in shifts) spent a wonderful 4 week vacation at Casa Cowee! The location in Sandy Bay is superb and if you like snorkeling, you'll really love this location. Snorkeling right out in front (especially if you cross over the reef) is some of the best I've done in a while. Kayaks for 4 people were an added bonus. If you get tired of the ocean there is a great little pool tucked away at the back where you can relax and read a book or take a refreshing dip. Some great restaurants down the beach; our favourite was Sunken Fish...try the Chickpea Curry! We bought most of our fresh fruit and veggies a two minute walk down the road at a local stand.(a few words of Spanish would be helpful but not essential) Jose (Suzanne's right hand man) arranged for some fresh fish for us and was always available to help us with whatever we needed. He is amazing and we enjoyed seeing his smiling face every day! Suzanne is lovely and was also available to help with anything we needed. There are some local dogs that bark at night and a rooster that starts crowing at 3:00 so a good set of earplugs would come in handy! Other than that, I highly recommend Casa Cowee and am sure your holiday will be a magical one that you will not forget anytime soon !

My family and I just returned from our stay at Casa Cowee on Sandy Bay in Roatan. In our group was my family of four including two little boys (5 & 10) and my sister and her boyfriend. Our parents were also staying on the island at another location but spent most of their days at our place. The house was amazing! So unique and beautiful with fantastic proximity to the ocean. The layout was perfect for our group, a master bedroom and loft for us and then a separate apartment attached for my sister. During the day it would occasionally get a bit warm in the houses however the air flow was great and the ocean breezes quickly cooled you down, especially by the afternoon/evening. We were in a great location with easy access to West Bay but had everything we needed right there including a fantastic snorkeling spot. You could even sit on your deck (or dock) and watch the dolphins at neighboring Anthony’s Key. We had access to several restaurant options. Our favorite was the Sunken Fish just down the beach. We probably went there 5 times between breakfast, lunch and dinners. I’d definitely recommend booking an excursion with Channin and Jose. We went snorkeling our last full day with them and wish we’d had more time to do more in other locations. Jose was fantastic. He was available for anything we needed, whether to help us find fresh coconuts, drag our kayaks to the beach, help with groceries, etc. We were all in love with this island by the end of our trip.

Overall the property is lovely. Tastefully decorated with amazing views and a fairly secure location. The owner, Suzanne was staying in a separate house on the property and was typically available to answer any questions we had. Jose, the onsite handyman seemed like he went out of his way to get us anything we needed while we were there. We had access to two restaurants nearby on the beach which were OK for a bite, a cold beer and some people watching. Since we cooked most of our meals at the house, we didn't spend much time out. On another note, the house has pretty much anything you could think of for cooking. something that hasn't always been the case when we've rented at other properties. The house has louvers on all of the major windows allowing the breeze to come in and through the rooms. We originally thought that we wouldn't need to use the AC (only in the master bedroom) but after the first night we felt sticky and hot and started using it to sleep. Being from Texas we live in an AC controlled environment most of the time. I felt a little sad for our teen who slept in the loft in the main part of the house with no AC but he was mostly OK. We did get quite a few bites from mosquitos and/or noseeums both inside and out. I love to snorkel and found the proximity to the reef a definite bonus. There is a well travelled boat lane going through the area you have to swim across so it's best to stay aware. Jose offered us a floating indicator to help boats see us while snorkling but we didnt feel the need to use it. The only personal negatives I found had to do with the location. While the area and views are lovely, the house sits above a "public" beach area with a fair amount of traffic. ATV tours, horseback riding, and locals move across the beach below the house and can get quite noisy at times making it tough to relax. Nearly every evening the dock outside the house was visited by not so quiet children from the neighborhood. We also experienced the New Year's fireworks celebration in the local village which made it tough to sleep. I think the kids were out of school for the month of January so this could be less of an issue when they go back; same with the fireworks which I suspect are mostly going off on New Years. We could have moved off to the pool area but it was cold due to the recent rains and tucked back away from the views, kinda neat but we never swan in it while there. Enjoyed the trip and will be back to Roatan.

We just spent a week over Christmas at the property - me, my husband, my parents, and our 4 year old son. We loved our stay. The house is so interesting and beautifully crafted. My parents loved having their own small “apartment” that have them some privacy. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook, which we did most nights with the inexpensive and readily available fresh seafood. The deck area overlooking the ocean and facing the sunsets cannot be beat, oh how I miss those evenings watching the sun go down over the ocean! As others have mentioned, Jose and Channin were so helpful and lovely to interact with. Jose helped us pull the kayaks to the beach and we would kayak in front of the property, snorkeling along the reef that stretches in front of the property and as far down as you can see. We did two snorkeling trips with Channin that were awesome, and my husband also did an early morning fishing trip in our last day. We also dove with blue Bahia dive shop which was a quick walk down the beach (and who also has delicious food). We were lucky enough to get to meet Suzanne the property owner also, who was In town during our stay. All in all, it was a wonderful week and the beautiful property was the best place to go back to after a day of exploring. we hope to return!

This property is beautiful, the grounds are amazing. Truly magical. The lodgings are a little more rustic, but we loved the adventure in it. The deck overlooking the ocean with the hammocks was our favorite spot. Jose, Channin and Kimberly really made our week enjoyable, relaxing and perfect. We definitely be back.
