About this property

Tranquil One Acre Estate On The Beach w private pool Sunsets!!!


Note: If you are staying for over one week we clean every week so you will have another cleaning per week. Which is $125.00 USD. So lets say for a two week stay it would be another $125.00 three weeks would be $250.00 and one month $375.00
Sorry, VRBO has not programmed weekly cleaning into their algorithm.

Since I bought Casa Cowee in 2013 we have made many improvements and the property is now fully fenced and gated. New stone walkways. Jose the caretaker is on the property basically 24/7 for your convenience. This Island is wonderful oasis and there is no need to live in a gated community. The Islanders are wonderful!

28 Days in Paradise
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 !

Wonderful sunsets
We really enjoyed our stay at Suzannes place. Pros- Great views from the deck, close proximity to fabulous snorkeling,fishing. Jose was super attentive and was always available with the kayaks. He is a real treasure. House well equipped with all your needs for cooking and sleeping. A couple of good restaurants within easy walking distance. Guava Grove fed us fresh fish one night! YUM! Cons- take good earplugs .....dogs bark at night in the neighborhood. Yes, it is expected in Honduras......however, the neighbor who played loud thumping music all night was not expected. This was 3 out of 7 nights. We really enjoyed our stay, Suzanne built a gate to keep dogs away from her property for us. Did the best she could. The building is dated , but in a comfy quirky way. The electrical could use a serious redo!

Atmosphere abounds
We had an issue with the first rental we reserved and found the "Tranquil One Acre" otherwise known as Casa Cowee in time for our vacation. First of all Suzanne Boyce, the owner, is an absolutely wonderful communicator. She responded to all my questions quickly and clearly. We met her on our first day there and she is really sweet. We also met the property Manager Channin Bodden and his wife Kimberley when we arrived and they too are exceptionally nice and fun people. We booked a tour of the island with Channin and he gave us more than our money's worth. Very Informative. Jose is the caretaker who lives in a separate house on the property. I downloaded Whatsapp and it was great to communicate with Jose and Channin, and Jose was extremely prompt and helpful with our requests. The property is not new and shiny like a fancy hotel, but it has character and atmosphere that was hard to beat. We spent a lot of time on the covered deck, enjoying the cool breezes, the view of the Dolphin shows and awesome sunsets. The deck offers almost a 180 degree vista of the ocean, and is a very special place. Just a short walk down the beach (3 minutes), is the Blue Bahia Beach Grill. So good that we ate there three times and loved the live music on Thursday and Sunday. Try the Jerk Fish Sandwich YUM! Sea Bass done just right with a slice of grilled pineapple on top. Not a combination I expected to like, but I LOVED it. We had a great time.

Casa Cowee: Unforgettable!
We stayed at the Casa for a week and loved it! The house has incredible views of the ocean throughout! The kitchen was a main gathering place (2nd to the main deck) and was well-equipped! The house is so unique, beautifully decorated, + very comfortable. There was always a breeze + it was so nice to breathe in fresh air 24/7! The grounds are gorgeous with foliage that made it feel like paradise! The new private pool was a nice feature as well! Felt at home the whole time! We loved the snorkeling - both out front of the casa as well as an excursion over towards the West Bay. We took the kayaks out and it was nice to have access to those at our whim. Suzanne was a nice host! Jose was available to help with anything we needed + shared eggs from his chickens! Channin was helpful, drove us everywhere + had great recommendations. Both quickly felt like family friends! We stopped at Eldon's on the way from the airport, which has just about anything you would want. There is also a market that's walkable from the casa. We walked to several great restaurants down the beach + walked over to the Carambola Gardens across the main road, where we hiked a jungle trail to the top of the mountain for a nice view of the bay! There is traffic on the beach as it serves as a road, which was a little unexpected, but we got used to the sporadic noise from scooters. Folks around the area are very polite + we felt safe. Views, snorkeling, + atmosphere were spectacular! We hope to return!

Paradise found!
Suzanne’s place was definitely a place to relax and rejuvenate! It reminds me of an updated Swiss Family Robinson’s Tree House. The property is amazing, clean and has everything you need to feel at home. Jose is great! He helped us with everything from luggage to taking us to the best snorkel spot. We loved being surrounded by the local people. They are very sweet spirited and greet you with a smile and friendly ‘holla! Suzanne is very fond of the people and they of her. BONUS - from the gazebo you can watch the dolphins play in their sanctuary next door. You can also kayak or swim from the beach to their pen and see them up close. We can’t wait to go back to Casa Cowee bring other friends and family. Next time we plan a longer stay😍

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Boyce

Host profile image
The original owners Miss Marcia and her husband were on a road trip in the 70's that took them from their Aspen home down through the rugged backroads of Central America, they discovered the lovely island of Roatan.

Captivated by its lush tropical foliage on a hilly terrain and , crystal clear waters – the friendly, generous spirit of the locals – they bought a pristine property down the beach from what was then the only major dive operation on the island – Anthony's Key Resort.

That’s how the history of “Casa Cowee” was written. Miss Marcia passed the property on to her family and in 2013 I visited and fell under it's spell. I am a Canadian from southern Ontario and fell in love with the Isle of Roatan, especially warm and natural Sandy Bay. You are part of a community here not a resort. So the next chapter in the history of Casa Cowee has begun. I know you will fall under it's spell also. Now I spend a good portion of my year there. I know that Casa Cowee is totally unique. It is so easy to meet people, not just expats but islanders. Your kids get exposure to the real world outside of the bubble most of us live in. Also you don't have to follow them around as you can see everything they are doing from the deck.

Why they chose this property

There is no better place on Sandy Bay proper for 180 degree vista of the breathtaking waters and reef and dolphins. You are high off the beach giving you total privacy and the deck is the most popular spot for the sunset happy hours. You also have one acre of lush property surrounding you for privacy and lots of fruit trees such as lemon, lime, bananas, coconut, jack fruit, mango etc.
Our new cocktail pool offers tranquility and a nice private spot further back on the beach. Sandy Bay is a large area. But Casa Cowee is located on a sleepy stretch of sand that includes Anthony's Key the Blue Bahia, Tranquil Seas and our new French Canadian Dive shops just minutes walk down the beach. Most have restaurants, a great pizza place behind Tranquil Seas and many local eateries to try. So no need to go further than our own little friendly community. But if there is a need to step it up a pace the West End is just a 10 min. taxi ride away. This is a dive hub along with, great restaurants, bars and night clubs. The nice thing about Roatan is that everyone on the island parties together, so a great island experience.

What makes this property unique

What Casa Cowee is – and is not ...

Casa Cowee is not a 'plug and play' unit in a gated community. It is our cherished family home, designed by a renowned local architect who was a dear friend of the original owners – and who put his passion for the island into every facet of Casa Cowee’s signature design.
Another reason I chose Roatan was that it was well outside "hurricane alley" in the Caribbean. The last instance was in 2001 but because the second largest reef in the world surrounds the island it is rare to see waves hit the shore. Floridians and Texans head to our tropical island during the hurricane season.
One of the great beauties of Roatan and the Sandy Bay location is during the 'low' season you enjoy reduced rates but you are there during their flowering and fruit season. We have a multitude of fruit trees on our property you can enjoy. I found that the weather is great and the temperature the same year round. Sandy Bay is a residential area so the same action year round. Much unlike the tourist areas of West Bay and West End.
