About this property

Cabana ON THE BEACH - Sandy Bay

Great comfortable home close to everything on the island. Just off the main road, this private beach area is in a resort setting without the crowds. This unit is the closest to the beach in the Sundancer community.
The island style cabana is nestled in a beautifully landscaped jungle canopy setting to keep the home cool and breezy. The beach front includes a private 300 ft pier accessible only by Sundancer guests. The has an upper deck for sunning, and shaded palapa over the water.
Just off the pier to the right is a natural deep water channel that allows larger sea life to come and go., Often seen are eagle rays, turtles, grouper, and large parrot fish. This natural opening is easy for boats to pick you up for fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and touring.

We are conveniently located in upper Sandy Bay, with grocery stores 5 minutes away. West End is about a 6 minute taxi ride headed west. The airport is 10 - 15 minutes away.
The Salty Mango restaurant is right next door to the east, along with the Blue Island Dive shop on the same property. Lawson's Rock is next door to the west, with a morning cafe, and restaurant. Anthony's Key Resort is 1 mile to the west with dolphin encounters, restaurant, plus a medical facility, o

Another amazing time at Sundancer!

SunDancer is a friendly little community where fellow travelers become friends, and everyone can enjoy fantastic snorkeling off the dock, lounging by the crystal clear pool, and incredible sunsets from the upper deck of the dock! We are repeat visitors, and our host, as always, was attentive to our every need. SunDancer is a tranquil little piece of paradise where you are surrounded by the true flora and fauna of the island.

Peaceful and relaxing stay

We had a great week long stay at the cabana. Conrad and Vanessa were very responsive and helpful if we had any questions. We traveled with a 12 and 14 year old boy and they had a blast snorkeling the reef that was a short swim from the end of the pier. I recommend buying an inflatable snorkeling buoy from Amazon to bring with you. We bought groceries from Eldon’s on the way to the rental from the airport and cooked in the kitchen. Blue Island Divers is a short walk down the beach and was our main hangout. The cabana was clean, quiet and perfect for our needs. The pool was a bonus! We chose not to rent a car and do not regret it. We were happy to stay in our piece of heaven.

Wonderful Stay!

This was our first time visiting Roatan, we had no idea what to expect but were absolutely blown away by how awesome this little island is! The house itself is in a quieter area and there are not many dining options, but taxis were readily available and we had no problems getting around! Wpuld absolutely stay in this home again!

She won't be happy

Island is greatWeather is awesomePeople/locals are friendly Snorkeling excellent, Food very goodAccommodations misleading. It was not newly renovated, it was quite run down. We booked for 2 weeks but left after 5 nights. The host told me I didn't have the correct expectations for a developing country. My only expectation is what I read in the listing. In one word...Disappointed.

Roatán 2024

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was nice and exactly what we needed for our stay. We are active people, so we were only there for sleeping and showering. A little bit further away from west end than we wanted, but was fine. We spent a lot of money in cab fare. The pool was awesome.

Beautiful, quiet little casita.

Perfect little casita for a quiet stay in Roatán. The location is perfect, easy to get to all areas and be away from them when a little rest and relaxation is needed. Diving (Blue Island Divers) is easily accesible from this location. Conrad was extremely helpful with all aspects of our vacation there. He's quick to reply to all questions and provides helpful insight to the planning and coordination. Highly recommend!

Laidback Tropical Private

This place was in a beautiful, jungle feel, private and very secure spot. Emasculate beach with a private community double decker pier with swim steps, hammock hooks and high jump area. Steps from the beach that’s groomed everyday. Fabulous community pool as well. The house was super clean. The house house greeted us a little bit after arrival and was only a text away if we needed anything. Conrad was so communicative before and during our stay. We LOVED this place and plan to come back!

Before arriving on the island, Conrad reached out to give us clear directions, not only to the property we were staying in, but also the grocery store before hand. When we arrived at the property, Maritza, the property manager, met us in the parking area, and showed us all around the property, from the cabana itself, to the pool, laundry room, beach, and dock. Maritza was absolutely fantastic our entire stay!

Great stay in Sandy Bay

Beautiful spot. Stayed in one of the Sundancer cabanas close to the water. Cabana was exactly as described and included all the necessities. The pier was a great place to watch the beautiful sunsets. Beach area is not the best for swimming but you can jump off the pier or go to the pool. Must admit the pool needs a little TLC and updating but still decent. The location is very lush and peaceful and not a far drive to the beautiful West Bay Beach. Luke the property manager was readily available. We would definitely rent from here again.

Roatan Visit

Cabana is located close to beach with views of ocean that were enjoyed. Unit is well equipped and met all our needs, we especially enjoyed BBQ! Luke the property manager was excellent throughout our stay from welcoming to our departure. We suggested an upgrade (toilet), which is being addressed. Pool was cloudy on occasion and it was addressed. It is a nice community of Cabanas, it was a pleasure enjoying the Sunset from the Dock with other vacationers. Overall we had a great stay and throughly enjoyed the magnificent snorkeling right off the dock and visiting the island.

Noisy construction

We were not informed about construction next door. Also, add listed Hot tub and dishwasher which were non-existent. Beach was not a swimming beach and ad implied that it was. Biggest complaint was not being informed about the construction next door. It was deafening and our unit was filled with diesel exhaust.

About the host

Hosted by Conrad McGinnis

Host profile image
TBD

Why they chose this property

The small community of Sundancer has 16 units. This unit is the closest to the beach. It caters to people who desire privacy and quiet, in a lush tropical garden setting that is well maintained. This unit is newly renovated, with cool ocean breezes, great A/C and internet. This home is close to the pool, and even closer to the beach. Everything is a short cab ride away. But if you want for anything, our property manager is close by.

What makes this property unique

The locals boast this area as the best snorkeling on the island. The 300 foot dock has 2 levels, and is a popular gathering spot to watch sunsets. Use the steps to dip into the calm waters to swim, or paddle board. You can swim out the reef, where you often see dive boats taking guests out to scuba and snorkel. I also have 2 other units in Sundancer #3B and 11B.
