Tranquil One Acre Estate On The Beach w private pool Sunsets!!!
There is AC only in the principal bedroom as the rest of the rooms 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.

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!

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 French Canadian Dive shops just minutes walk down the beach. Most have restaurants, 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.
