About this house rental

There is AC only in the principal bedroom as the rest of the house can not be closed in as you can see from the pictures. The house is designed to move the breezes through it. If using AC we ask that you only use at night ( most people prefer natural air flow which is supplemented by fans) You will have to close all the windows and the door. Power on the island is extremely expensive and AC is a major user.

Unique Casa Cowee, is a true island home. With almost constant breeze. Recently renovated island-style on a lush private 1 acre estate, nestled in the warm, friendly community of West Sandy Bay, offers dramatic million dollar views of the Caribbean and richly varied living spaces – including a spacious Main House with new (2024) wood floors, new extensive kitchen and your own private pool overlooking the Caribbean, large bedroom pod with quality king bed and loft with queen bed and 2 pc bath. We can add a single bed ($30 a night) Also a smaller self contained Casita (queen bed) with it’s own deck, kitchen and bath can be rented along with the main house for another $55 per night per person(only available when renting the main house) The gazebo covered Sunset Deck off the main house is where friends meet for many a good time.

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. Jose can arrange tours land and sea and fishing etc. This Island is wonderful oasis and there is no need to live in a gated community. The Islanders are wonderful!

Our group of one mom and 3 college-aged young people enjoyed our stay at this lush property - complete with a giant mango tree and peaceful deck with stunning Caribbean views and several lodging options depending on your group size. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks or pool overlooking the water. We walked to two of the local restaurants for dinner on several occasions and we often enjoyed amazing breakfasts cooked with fresh eggs on the property and cantaloupe-sized mangos, both happily provided by Jose the ever attentive property manager. Both Jose and the resident cat-ambassador, Jack, made us feel safe and at home. Speaking of safety, the property is secured but a gait, important to us as it was our first trip to Roatan. We found the locals to be welcoming and we never questioned our safety. We elected to not rent a car an used transportation arranged by Jose whenever we needed it. If you are visiting Roatan, you are here for the water. We went out several times by boat to snorkel at some of the healthiest reefs we have ever seen. You will of course hit the more popular sites like the "aquarium" but I highly recommend less visited sites like Palmetto I took an amazing yoga class at Sun Yoga. And this location is right next to Anthony's Key resorts where we you can see happy dolphins performing or in training AND they are let out regularly, returning of their own free will! Can't say enough about the level of service that Jose provides, unsurpassed.

Our family of 9 with ages ranging from 19 to 75 stayed for the last week of June at Suzanne's piece of paradise. My SO and I stayed at the Temple Treehouse several years ago and loved it so much we wanted to share it with our family. We rented the entire property - Casa Cowee, Casita, and Temple Treehouse. All of the rooms were clean and comfortable and the group appreciated having lots of space to spread out. We especially loved time on the main deck at Casa Cowee and the upper pool where a beautiful sunset view could be enjoyed while sipping a cold drink and floating in the cool water. The kitchens are all well appointed, even for a group as large as ours, and the propane grill is great for cooking out. On nights when we chose not to cook, a 5 minute walk up the beach took us to a great beach bar and grill where they knew us by name by the end of the week. We took advantage of the snorkeling equipment several times and enjoyed exploring the reef off the dock right in front of the house. We also used the kayaks to explore the nearby shorlines. Jose did an absolutely awesome job taking care of us during our stay. Without ever being intrusive he was always present when we needed his help, beginning with welcoming us on arrival and helping carry our bags and groceries up to the houses. He responded happily to our every request, no matter what it was. Mom especially loved walking the property with him and learning about all of the beautiful landscaping. Can't wait to return!!

I am not really able to give a comprehensive review because we didn’t even spend the first night there. We were run out by bugs inside Casa Cowee late in the evening after traveling all day. The host was very accusatory—I am not sure how I am responsible for this situation. Although it says no pets, there are 5 or 6 cats living there/food and water bowls by the front door. Although she had the place sprayed for bugs 3 weeks ago, bugs were everywhere inside the house. Even in the bed. I have photos. We looked forward to this trip for months, we had to vacate and wound up in a horrible place in West Bay for the duration of our trip.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!
