Thank you for the wonderful introduction to Roatan! We have utilized the Vrbo website many times now, but have never had such an extensive background on what to expect before even arriving. Once here, we realized how beneficial your preliminary information proved to be. Your guidance was invaluable. We have enjoyed the privacy, peace and serenity of your boathouse. Although the weather could have been better for snorkeling, we enjoyed kayaking and exploring Roatan. We especially appreciate your hospitality and the delicious meal at the end of our stay - - a unique experience for us!
You're the greatest - thanks!!!

Castaway Cove could not be a better location with access to land and sea right in the middle of the island. Kayak to some of the quaint little restaurants and enjoy meals that range from a cheese burger to lobster cooked in garlic sauce. Swim or kayak to amazing snorkeling sites with post card perfect vistas. Drive to the touristy side of town and take in shopping or a people-watching walk on the beach. Drive to the, almost deserted side of the island for peace and tranquility and an opportunity to meet the locals and engage in the culture. Or stay home and lounge on the deck, make friends with the dogs and enjoy the wonderful scenery of the ocean that is your backyard, literally.
 

Castaway Cove has it all with options for more! We had a great stay here and would highly recommend this great spot to anyone!

My husband and I stayed in the 1 bedroom boat house for two months in Fall 2010 and absolutely fell in love with our Honduran home. It has a great big livingroom, comfortable furnishings, a full kitchen and the best part: huge windows and a glorious deck with a view of the quiet and nearly untouched bight. We enjoyed swimming right outside our door, checking out the starfish and conch, and diving off the boat. We took the kayaks out every sunny day and went snorkeling at the mouth of the bight - one of the most beautiful places I've ever snorkeled, and just 5 minutes away! We paddled through the peaceful mangrove canals over to Jonesville for grocery shopping and our favorite bar that you can only get to by boat. We went on a few boat trips to amazing snorkeling spots further east at Port Royal, Pigeon Keys, and Guanaja.

The owners Marcia and Dennis live on the property and made our stay there absolutely perfect. It wouldn't have been the same without them. Marcia treated us like family, inviting us to dinner and events, taking us along on shopping trips to town, introducing us to all the locals, and making sure we had everything we needed to live and work in tropical paradise.

I suggest getting a 4wd vehicle if you're eager to explore the rest of Roatan, but we did just fine by taking boat taxis to Jonesville and Oak Ridge. They pick you up at your own dock right under the boathouse, and the ride alone is such fun.

Thank you for being such gracious hosts. We had a fabulous time. Also, thank you for the wonderful dinner for our 30 year anniversary – so yummy!  The snorkeling was amazing! Larry and Karen (East End Divers) really made our trip the most fun… trip to Guanaja, snorkeling, trip down island & so much more. I hope to be back again!

We had the best time! The people, places, snorkeling, kayaks – all of this makes this one of our best vacations. We never do do overs but we might make this trip again. Dennis thanks for the visits, all the computer hang-ups you tried so hard to make sure we got on.

Dennis & Marcia,
Come next winter we will remember our tropical paradise vacation with fond memories!  You’re right, Caribe Pointe Bight is the best the island has to offer. We LOVED the kayaking, snorkeling and boathouse respite. Thanks for everything – an unforgettable time was had by all.

To Marcia and Dennis
Thanks for the lovely week. We enjoyed our visit to Roatan and your little corner of the world. It was a great place to celebrate our 25^th anniversary. Thanks for all the tips. We did almost everything on the list. Boots and Scamp helped us feel welcome – they are lovely dogs. Hope Dobie gets better.
Thanks again,

Boots, Dobie & Scamp,

Wow!!  We greatly appreciate your hospitality and informative advice. The boathouse and location are ideally located. Where else can you find great snorkeling outside the front door?  Thanks for recommending the discovery Dive with Che’. We now have a new favorite activity. We are looking forward to getting certified and coming back for some serious diving. The daily visits from Boots, Scamp and Dobie made us really feel welcomed. We hope Dobie gets well very soon.

Marcia & Dennis,
All I can say is WOW – we had a fantastic time at your boathouse. This is our 4^th time to Roatan (Steven has been here at least 9 times) and this was by far our best trip here. The highlight of every morning was having our coffee while watching the sun rise and the hummingbirds feed. The snorkeling in and around Caribe Pointe Bight was the best. We actually saw fish we had never seen before and Steven has been diving over 40 years. We so enjoyed the dive trips with Kevin, Larry and Ed, the Sunday buffet at Hole-in-the-Wall, kayaking the mangrove tunnels and total relaxation, but most of all your kindness & thoughtfulness. 

The Christmas eve party with the two of you and your friends really made our x-mas…it was the best x-mas eve ever spend away from home. Thank you for everything and we will definitely be back.

Thank you for your generous hospitality and for sharing your paradise with us! We had a wonderful relaxing week - - all of your suggestions were great, and we appreciated the thoughtful guidance that you provided. . .it was very helpful. You saw to our every need (salad spinner, hot sauce, hummingbird nectar) and went out of your way to make sure we had a great time. The boat trips to amazing snorkel spots, and of course, Hole in the Wall for lunch were the best!  We enjoyed the lovely dinner at your house and spending time with both of you. Thanks, again, for everything!
Cheers,
