Fantastic swimming, diving, snorkeling and fishing with the Caribbean Sea at your door! Escape to Castaways Cove, a quiet, tranquil retreat on Roatan’s south shore. This nautical themed waterfront boathouse is ideal for a romantic getaway or as an oasis for water sports and getting in touch with nature.
Located on picturesque Caribe Pointe, this oceanfront house is fully furnished with a completely equipped kitchen. The house accommodates two people very comfortably in a new queen bed with a roll-away or air mattress for an additional guest. We've thought of your every comfort and even have a 15kw backup generator if the island's power grid goes down.
Swim and snorkel from your own dock. We can arrange personalized dive services, boat excursions or a catamaran snorkeling trip. We'll have a dive master/instructor pick you up here and most likely you will be the only ones on his boat. He can provide all equipment and we guarantee you'll love his low rates! You don't dive? Well, try a discovery dive - no certification needed!
Enjoy magnificent panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea, reef and neighboring hills from a covered terrace. A shallow reef in front of the house provides incredible snorkeling. Our guests tell us the island's best snorkel is right at our wall, where you can snorkel day after day and always see different marine life. We can arrange for a dive boat, local fishing guide or "water taxi" to pick you up so you can explore the island in style. We have good road access and taxi or van service can be arranged.
Sit-On-Top Kayaks, that normally rent for $50+ a day each on the island are included free with this rental. You can kayak to awesome snorkeling spots and explore the nearby mangrove tunnels built by the Payan Indians and used by pirates. Kayak to Hole in the Wall restaurant, Pookies, Parrot Tree and a nearby sandy beach.
Castaways Cove is away from the noisy main tourist area and cruiseships, yet only 20 minutes from French Harbour restaurants and shopping. We're just 3 miles from Turquoise Bay and just over the hill from the famous "Hole in the Wall" Bar and Grill.
Our property and surrounding woods has lush tropical flora. There are paths for hiking, exploring and jogging; and a dock for swimming, snorkeling, fishing and boating.
Castaways Cove is an ideal place to relax and revive, while getting in touch with nature. For a hassle free vacation, contact us today. We live up the hill on the property and can assist you with tours, arrangements and any issues during your stay. We value your privacy, but we're also here to help when needed.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Ten years ago my husband Dennis and I longed for some adventure in our lives. So, we ditched our corporate jobs, sold our waterfront home and jammed our "stuff" into a rented storage garage. We took off from St. Petersburg, Florida in our 42-foot Krogen trawler for Roatan, a small scuba diving island, about 30-miles off the coast of Honduras. Since then, we built a house and two guest residences on the Caribbean Sea overlooking the world's second largest reef. We had been diving all over the Caribbean and could have moved anywhere in the world. However, we selected Roatan and specifically Caribe Pointe Bight, for its unmatched beauty.
Why the Owner Chose Caribe Pointe
Caribe Pointe Bight is the most beautiful place in Roatan. Its location is off the beaten path and away from the tourists. The lush tropical natural surroundings are highlighted by palms, towering oaks, crystal clear Caribbean water, mountains and the world's second largest barrier reef.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Diving, snorkeling, kayaking and fishing are right here at your fingertips. The location is quiet and relaxing where you can do as much as you like, or as little as you want.

Nov 27 2011 Marcia & Dennis What can we say, we’re at a loss for words. We had the best trip! From kayaking the mangrove tunnels, our unexpected “buzz” at the Hold-in-the-Wall with Dwayne, Harry & Clyde; snorkeling and hanging out in the mornings with Scamp and Boots. Your kindness & generous spirit will always be remembered & was greatly appreciated. We loved it so much we’re considering buying our own piece of paradise.

These two owners are the best! It was a real pleasure to have the company of such calm and caring folks. Marcia's knowledge of the area was always helpful and Kevin was an excellent dive master, at East End Divers. We will miss Castaways Cove as we head back to our busy lives. We are hoping to come back again with more family.

The reviews and the pictures on the web site does not do this place justice, it is truly paridise. From the time we arrived until the time we left we were indeed catered to for all our needs and made to feel comfortable and relaxed no matter if it was in our rental or through East end Divers who I booked my dives through. With out a doubt the most stress free vacation that I have had in years, and the diving, I can see why it is touted as the best of the best.

Family of 3 (teenager of 13) have been traveling for 1 month in Guatemala & Copan Ruinas, we planned a trip to Roatan to just relax before coming home. Marcia and Dennis is our host who live there full time, for this 1 bedroom boat house, It is spotless clean, and a very comfortable bed with sateeny sheets, We are VRBO owner of a small condo in Hilo , so we do know how hard it is to be running a place and keep it clean in the tropics near the ocean. They helped us arranging xfer from ferry, offered us tons of local information, yet we felt we have our private space. We are not divers, just snorkelers, have done it at K Bay Big Island, Australia Great Barrier Reef, Tahiti Islands, Cozumel, Eleuthera, Grenadines, Windward islands of Carribean. We love this place and it is convenient for snorkeling and all the water sports. The boat house was so nice with the breeze,, it keeps the bugs down. we had doors and windows wide opened, our daughter slept on the roll away bed and couch. We only used the AC a few time for a few hours and the 1st nite at arrival. I was bitten alive in Eleuthera on one of the house rental with a primo beach, so since then I stayed away of most white sand beach now at dusk. So Castaway Cove boat house really is an advantage for me. We got our kayaks, and everyday we go out about 1/3 mile and would be snorkeling right there on the reef and the amazing wall with a very healthy marine life, tons and tons of coral, and fishes that we have not seen before. There are great large sea stars just right in front of the house too. We could not snorkel one day, because of the heavy wind from a storm coming. We also kayak thru amazing mangroves tunnels to buy groceries and explore the town of Jonesville and Oakridge. We kayak west toward Media Luna and Parrot Tree Resorts (good reasonable lunch as far as resort price - at PT resort) - we forgot to pay attention to wind conditions in the afternoon, so it took a while to kayak back, so it was a great workout. Marcia also provides us with apple bananas, papaya, lime, (mango was not ripe) told us price of fresh fish, where the vegetable stands/truck would be. After one month, on tortilla and beans, I much prefer to cook. We grilled an amazing lobster tail dinner with great asian salad. We paid for 4 tails for $10. Waking up in the morning, i quietly went down below and launch the kayak before the rest of the family wake up. Come back make a dark mean honduras coffee, and retreat back out to the deck with

We had the best vacation we've ever had as a couple at Castaways Cove. If you are looking for loud, touristy, high-rise and glitzy this is not the place for you. For quiet, beautiful views, privacy, nature, snorkeling, diving, hiking and getting to know Roatan this is the PERFECT location. We rented a car and were glad we did. We made arrangements with Marcia, the owner, and the dive shop picked us up right at the dock of the boathouse (they take cash only). We kayaked to local restaurants and stores. We took a boat tour of the area with a local guy, Clyde, which gave us a good feel of how to get around. The house is simple, modern, very homey and comfortable. We could not believe the view. When we arrived we couldn't believe how lucky we were to be able to stay at such an amazing place for a week. We definitely hope to return.

– 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!

What a great way to end 2010! We are always looking at "secluded, quiet and friendly� places to resource ourselves, away from the "busy'' life of Houston... on all fronts, Marcia & Dennis delivered!!! They let us use their kayaks to go explore the beautiful reef & wall by the entrance of the bay - few hundreds yards away. The highlight of our snorkeling trips were the "leopard ray and the squids� waiting for us on the reef on the east side. Marcia & Dennis helped us with stocking groceries, advised us on what to visit and where to go for restaurants and shops, the best spots for snorkeling, arranged for diving. Not only their house was comfortable and well maintained - with a fabulous view on the bay and sunsets - but also they acted to help our short stay to be a success!

Christmas in Roatan

I cannot express enough the beauty of Caribe Point and the experiences we enjoyed. Every aspect of the house, location, and the local people we were introduced to surpassed our every expectation! Marcia and Dennis were more than great hosts and I dare to say now our friends. They went above and beyond to make sure our visit was everything we could imagine and more! If you are looking for a truely relaxing yet exciting trip you must stay with them. You can kayak right off your own dock, snorkle (beautiful), or have the dive charter pick you up right from the house. Diving was immaculate here and I recommend taking Marcia's advice and book East End Divers. If your more of the land lover go zip lining over the trees- Pirates of the Carribean offers a beautiful experience with awesome guides. There is also Anthony's Key Resort on the West end of the island that has a museum and Marine Sciences laboratory in which dolphin communication is researched. We walked through a very nice butterfly exhibit on the west end and this is where you can shop or visit the more touristy places if you are into that. If you get down there stop by the Wet spot and see Michelle for a great latte or the best bloody mary ever made. The East end is for the aventurer inside. Leave the technology at home because you will not miss it! Stop by The Hole in the Wall for a great meal and cold beverage. BJ's is another great place to hang and get to know the locals.Caribe Point and the whole island of Roatan are what living life is all about!We will be back!
