Wonderful relaxing week!

We loved our time here! Sandy bay is the best. We very much dislike the crowds of west bay/end. Sandy bay is so calm and peaceful and you feel like you are integrating among the locals. The house was beautiful and perfect for us. We loved the pool, kayaks and sunsets on the beach! We drank coffee on the porch every morning and absolutely loved the greenery and privacy. The house was just perfect for us. We walked over to Sandy bay divers and had several great dives. I am already day dreaming about returning to this sweet little slice of paradise!

Amazing Home!

This property is outstanding. It is very clean, very comfortable and at least as good as advertised, if not better. The view is amazing and being right on the beach is incredible. West End is a short taxi ride away and there is a wonderful cafe in easy walking distance and most of the walk is along the beach! We stayed here for the first night of our vacation and took the ferry to Utila the next day, but when we come back to Roatan for future trips, we will definitely stay here again!

Perfect getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Coconut Cottage away from the resort crowds. Located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful beach for a walk. We enjoyed the pool. We also had a car so we could travel around the island as we like to get out and see other areas getting to know the people, food and culture of Roatan. We highly recommend this property for an pleasant time in Roatan.

Beautiful Property

The property was just as described. Beautiful beach cottage with very nice amenities. The interior and exterior were very well kept and maintained. The Caribbean Sea was steps away and the water was crystal clear. Was fun taking the on-site kayaks out. Having the pool to take a dip in was a bonus. The communication with the property manager was excellent. She was great to work with and always available to answer questions. If wanting to venture out for a meal or excursion, a rental vehicle or taxi will be required. We were put in contact with a taxi driver who was available to take us where we needed to go during our stay.

Coconut Cottage October 2024

The house is nice. It has a brand new full size washer/dryer. The view of the reef is spectacular. We enjoyed the pool. The bedroom downstairs stayed nice and cool with the a/c at night. We appreciated the extra water bottles and the water cooler. The shower was fine and the water pressure was good. The safe under the upstairs sink was inoperable as the key was completely twisted and bent. In order to fully enjoy the island, you will need a rental car. Obviously, we were being watched and our movements followed. I made the mistake of leaving a window unlocked and we were robbed. The neighborhood is not nice. They stole approximately $2000 worth of electronics (iPad, GoPro camera, Bose headphones, earbuds and Soundlink box). They stole my wife’s backpack altogether and went through mine and stole my fleece jacket but they left my backpack. Our passports were in my backpack so we were relieved. The refrigerator door was wide open when we returned home but they didn’t take my beer or rum. They didn’t take my expensive binoculars or my extra cash in a dresser drawer. We will never know how many times they entered the yard and tried to get in while we were away from the house because the “security” cameras do not have recording functionality. Up until this incident, we really enjoyed the island and Coconut Cottage. Now, I don’t think we would ever return.😡

Cutest Cottage

We loved our stay at the Coconut Cottage. The area was quiet and peaceful. Being able to kayak out to the reef and snorkel on our own made it a great experience! The hosts were responsive and took care of any issues that arose in a timely manner.

We enjoyed our stay at the beach front cottage. The place looks just like the pictures. The ocean is great for looking at and you can go on long beach walks. The bed was confortable and we were thankful we had AC. We enjoyed the pool daily. Close to drive to west end and west bay. Kyaks were a nice extra activity. Be sure to have lots of bug spray. Lots of mosquitos and sand flies. We had some little issues but everything was taken care of promptly. Thanks for sharing your home!

Quaint Beach Cottage

We loved our stay at Coconut Cottage and would absolutely stay here again! The location is very quiet (minus some temporary road construction), lots of docks to snorkel off of and a reef that is booming with life, kayaks and pool were great amenities, and the house itself was perfect for a couple. Not too big but plenty of room to cook and relax in. Washer/dryer were really nice too. Most restaurants we went to were in the West End, about a 10 minute drive away, but we were looking for something off-the-beaten path so it worked very well for us. Thank you for the amazing stay!

Lovely spot

House is very nice with beautiful views and sunsets. Pool is key as it’s not a great swimming beach but the snorkeling off the reef in the distance is nice. We had a few issues with the house the first few days— no fault of the owner whose local team dropped the ball. Once settled in we had a lovely time

Great stay in Roatan

The cottage was great. Off the beaten path location, nice and quiet. Right on beach, beautiful reef a couple hundred yards offshore. We really enjoyed the pool and the kayaks. Snorkeling was perfect, clear warm water, saw squid, barracuda, puffers, and beautiful shallow reefs. Great scuba operations nearby as well. The location made it easy to drive to both west and east sides of island. Shopping and restaurants not far away. This choice worked really well for us.

Little piece of paradise

Our stay was a well needed relaxing vacation. Beach is steps away from the back gate and we could walk 1.8 miles round trip towards the East. We were able kayak to the reef and snorkel when ever we wanted. We definitely recommend for a stay.

Coconut Cottage is sheer perfection

This house in Sandy Bay really does have it all. It is clean and beautifully decorated. The pool is great. The separate pool house/casita doubles as an additional bedroom with bathroom. The property is fully fenced and gated. It is right on the beach and the sunsets are magical. The reef is a short kayak ride out from the house and the snorkeling is great. No need to book a snorkeling excursion because it's right there in front of you for free. The house is in a local neighborhood which is great if you want to be immersed with the locals and they are very nice indeed. And you are still only a 15 minute drive to West End and West Bay. Lesly the host was especially great.

Spectacular.

A part of me doesn’t want to share how good this is because I always will want it available to me, but fine … it is spectacular! The listing made it an easy choice, great location, on the beach and a pool! But it’s even better. Property managers Lesly and Jeff were excellent, easy to communicate with and very responsive. The place is immaculately clean. Not a hodgepodge vacation rental, the Coconut Cottage has everything you could need, excellent quality, attention to detail, definitely high end everything. We used Lesly’s recommendations for car rental (Omar!), diving (Upachaya is outstanding) and restaurants. We were about 10 minutes to West End with all the great restaurants and about 15 minutes to WestBay, some of the best shore snorkeling we have ever experienced. Located in a quiet neighborhood, there were some dogs, cats and chickens, but once you are inside it’s perfectly quiet. It gets pretty warm in the afternoon so the pool was like paradise. Highly recommended Coconut Cottage and all of Roatan. We will definitely be returning!

Short Stay

We were only there for a few days. This is a great location if you want to be away from the business of west end. I caught a few small fish from the beach. The neighborhood does have many stray dogs and one that was chained up directly across the road. For dog lovers, it can be a little heartbreaking. The VRBO itself is immaculate and we had a great day just walking the beach and laying by the pool

Alright

The check in process was easy and we were able to contact the property manager via WhatsApp. She came to check in, in person the first evening and was lovely to chat to. Unfortunately she didn't know much about the property, kayaks, or beach/reef. It was easy to find the property and the fence provided security during our stay. The house was nice and clean, with plenty of towels and linens. Each floor had several fans and windows that open, plus an A/C unit we used occasionally. The smart TVs were great, and we used our usual streaming services. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen had most items we needed (loved having a good blender, we enjoyed many Pina colada). The pool house was not needed during our stay but we rinsed off at the outdoor shower and enjoyed the pool floats we found inside. Unfortunately, there were a few things that disappointed us. The fridge took several days to chill the few beers and ingredients we brought along. There were no ice cube trays so we had to go shopping for trays or cubes. The kitchen faucet had very minimal water pressure which made cleaning up after meals frustrating. We were assured that there was a 5 gallon jug of drinking water at the house ready for us but it was near empty on arrival (luckily we had bought our own before arriving). The pool was quite sandy. The kayaks were not safe to use, as the drainage holes someone added caused us to almost sink. The beach was unfortunately littered and not nice for swimming.
