About this property

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.

Unforgettable Getaway

I booked this property on short notice and the host, Suzanne immediately responded to all my questions. When we arrive we were greeted by Jose, the caretaker and he took our bags to the house showed us around. The house is a little older but it is warm and inviting and the new pool is perfect to cool off, the views were astounding! Jose arranged for a fishing/snorkel tour and we caught a black fin tuna and the boat crew made ceviche with it, absolutely delicious! All around wonderful mini vacation, I will be booking again in the near future!

A perfect island getaway

We loved staying at this property. Everything was attended to by Jose. We ate fresh lobster, conch, pineapple and the vegetable truck came directly to the house upon request. Everyday we see kayaked, snorkeled, swam and enjoyed the sunset. An absolutely beautiful view caps off the perfect comfort and convenience of this place.

Great experience at Casa Cowee!

My family of 5 ranging from age 3-75 stayed at Casa Cowee for a week in March. We had a great time! The place is wonderful, a rustic style yet super comfortable. The view can't be beat. You can see the dolphins frolicing at Anthony's Key, boats coming and going, and locals on the beach road and dock just below the house. With that in mind, be aware that the beach is also a road and path and it's a local residential area, so there is some vehicle noise and we heard nearby residents playing loud music a couple nights. It wasn't super disruptive but if you're looking for that "deserted beach" feel this isn't quite it. Don't let that discourage you though! The patio is SOOOO pleasant and the swimming pool was perfect, especially for our kids who loved it. And because it's right on the deck they could play and be supervised easily. Jose, the property caretaker, is just lovely and will come help with anything you need at any time. The property managers Shannin and Kimberlee were also very helpful and kind when we met them. The "casita" is a studio unit under the master bedroom of the main house. It has totally separate entrances if desired but since we were using both units our mom was able to come directly up in the morning and join us for breakfast without walking around. There is also another unit (the Treehouse) on the same property that shares a common grill and pathway. Overall, I highly recommend a stay at Casa Cowee!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Suzanne Boyce

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.
