  Our time at the boathouse completely exceeded our hopes and expectations. We came to Roatan wanting to snorkel, kayak and relax. We got that and so much more. We loved being tucked away in the peacefulness of the cove and feeling a part of the rhythm of its life. This spot is truly a slice of paradise. The house is comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The rental comes with several kayaks... we did lots of exploring by kayak and with our rental car. (Having a car was helpful to get to the tucked away places on the island). The snokeling is awesome -- the reefs are right out the front door. The experience was made all the better by the owners hospitality. They made the trip easy and guided us to so many great places (lots of great restaurants in the area!). We're already planning our return trip to return to this very spot!

  Owner response: Jeanne, thank you for taking the time to post your thorough review! We are so glad you had a good time and got out and about while visiting Roatan. I enjoyed kayaking with you - although the wind shortened our journey. Please be sure to come back again and visit us!

  Marcia & Dennis, We had such a wonderful time. Going back to real life will be tough. Thanks so much for introducing us to Kevin & Ed – we are now certified and have a total of ten dives under our belt. We ventured to the Asylum – the food was great. We hope to see you again.

  Feb. 3, 2013 Marcia & Dennis, It’s our last day of a week’s vacation at Castaways Cove here. We’re trying to list our favorite things about the week and we realize the beauty of the week here was a combination of the great snorkeling, kayaking, lazy mornings reading, watching the sunset, peaceful sleeps, water taxi tour, lunch at Pookies, a wonderful dinner at Gios in French Harbour, the monkey la-la lizard, tours with Ruban around the island, the coral reefs with all the blue tangs, angel fish, pelicans, herons…thank you for your guidance and hospitality…both the boathouse and the villa were great accommodations. We will spread the word! Melanie and Doug, Montreal, Quebec, Canada

  Owner response: Melanie - thank you for taking the time to post your review! I am so glad you enjoyed your visit here. You were the perfect guests and so very low maintenance! Please come back and visit again!

  My husband and I just returned from a 12-night stay at Castaways Cove on our first trip to Roatan. The accommodations were great and Dennis was a lifesaver when we got there later than expected the first night. Waking up and enjoying coffee on the deck, watching the "school bus" boat putter by, dockside pick-up for diving. Castaway's Cove is a great place to call home while in Roatan. Highly recommend the diving with Larry Coon/Islander Diving. His 38-foot boat is uncrowded and he is a very competent dive master. "Boutique" diving at its finest. Look forward to meeting Marcia on our next trip (she was stateside this trip).

  Owner response: Hi Heidi - Thank you for your excellent review. I'm thrilled that you had such a good time here. Sounds like you really enjoyed diving with Larry - - its much much nicer than a crowded cattle boat. Dennis said you did a trip aboard Islander to Pigeon Cay....its always fun to venture out beyond the island for some exploring. Please visit us again on your next dive adventure!

  We have been blessed with many wonderful adventures,and our time on Roatan will rank amongst the best. Marcia and Dennis arewonderful people, hosts, guides and neighbors. Thank You! The locals at McNabbs, Jonesville, Oakridge and throughout Roatan are a pleasure. Great snorkeling, ranks up there with some of our bestspots. The accommodations were wonderful. BBQ’ing fresh fish on the porch withcold local cerveza cannot be beat. We look forward to our return!

  What a dream vacation! Marcia and Dennis were friendly,helpful,and accommodating,and showed us a different side to the island. The boat house is a relaxing and enjoyable place to vacation. From swimming,snorkeling ,and kayaking,it's all right there. Yes,we would do it again,and again.

  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
