It was wonderful to spend a week in Paradise as a blizzard hit the Northeast. We loved the fabulous weather, great kayaking, geckos, tropical fruit, beautiful sunsets and relaxing days. The highlights were snorkeling with Marvin and the iguana farm. Thanks for all your help in planning our trip.

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. Thanks much for all of your hospitality!

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!

Left on 08/06/2012 for a stay in August 2012
We had a great trip. I would definitely recommend visiting Roatan in the off season. Everywhere we went, we had the beach to ourselves! The Boat House was great. It had everything we needed. The snorkeling at the edge of the cove was awesome! Dennis was very helpful. We loved our stay. Make sure you ask for good directions though, or have them arrange a cab for you ahead of time.

Left on 03/08/2012 for a stay in February 2012
Marcia & Dennis are wonderful people to strive to give you the vacation you want. They share a wealth of information about the island, best things to see and do, people to contact etc. The boathouse is clean, well furnished. Weather was great and we spent everyday snorkelling and kayaking, often right in their bay. There was always a variety of coral and fish to be seen, and we lucked out with spotting a manta ray and a turtle as well. The mangrove tunnel is quite an experience, as is the weekend bar-b-que at Pukys. If you want a vacation with real local flavor--this is the place to be. Thanks again !!! Ps - Loved the shrimp dinner!!!

Pat & Jock, thank you for the fantastic review. We are so happy you had a great time. I've gotta say that you were awesome guests and so "low" maintenance! Your photos are professional looking and its hard to believe you took the fish ones snorkeling! Thanks again and we hope to see you in the future!

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.

You two are the best! It was a real pleasure to have the company of such calm and caring folks. Marcia, your knowledge of the area was always helpful and Kevin was an excellent dive master. We will miss you & Castaways Cove as we head back to our busy lives. We are hoping to come back again with more family. And we'd love to see you in NYC; you're always welcome!
And a "woof-woof” to Scamp and Dobie. Missing them already. -

From the time that we arrived until the day we left, we were catered to and made to feel comfortable. The rental was exactly what was needed for us to feel stress free and very relaxed. I went to Roatan for a dive trip and it turned into so much more.Everything was arranged for us, in a very timely fashion-all we had to do was ask. The diving, totally awesome!!

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!

Houston, TXFabulous and friendly place!
Left on 01/04/2011 for a stay in December 2010
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!

Freeport, TXOur Christmas getaway
Left on 01/02/2011 for a stay in December 2010
Every aspect of this trip was worry free and much more than we expected! The house, location, snorkling, diving, and our hosts Marcia and Dennis were exactly what we needed. The pictures of the house and property do not do it justice! Take Marcia's recommendations for the services and places you may want to see, she will not steer you wrong! Let your inner adventurer come out and play at Caribe Point but I recommend more than a week here. The island, although small, has much to offer! We will be back and stay with Marcia and Dennis again, the resorts can't give you an experience like this! Thank you to our new friends for such a great vacation and life changing memories!

Covington, KYExcellent Stay at Castaways Cove
Left on 12/16/2010 for a stay in May 2009
My wife and I spent a week at Castaways Cove in May of 2010. The weather was perfect for our stay and we can't say enough nice things about our hosts and accomodations. First off it was so nice to arrive at the house to a case of ice cold beer waiting for us. Marcia and Dennis went out of their way to make us feel at home. My wife is a dog lover so it was very fun to have the resident dogs come down and spend time with us when we were preparing our food. They were so much fun. Marcia had a suggested list of places to go and visit which was a really helpful. We spent a great deal of time visiting all the suggestions and traveled all over the island. If you are looking for a quite place to stay on the water with just about anything you could want within a quick kayak ride or water taxi, this is your place. Visit one time and I believe you will be back a second or third time. Thanks to Marcia and Dennis the excellent hosts, you will feel right at home and not want to leave.

Woodburn, ORRomantic Gettaway
Left on 12/15/2010 for a stay in November 2010
We spent two glorious weeks in the villa at Castaways Cove for our 30 year anniversary. The bight at Castaways Cove is one of the most beautiful and pristine on the island. The snorkeling is incredible. There is a reef in the bight that you can swim to or take the kayaks to the tiki hut/double deck dock and snorkel (or dive) the reef out to the wall and into the deep blue. Take a lunch and eat on the deck! The sea life is abundant - so much beauty. Indescribable. Bjs restaurant in Oakridge is a must. Also, Hole-in-the-Wall in nearby Jonesville. Castaways Cove owners, Dennis and Marcia are wonderful hosts. They made us feel like family. So kind and helpful. The road is not very good - would recommend a four wheel drive if you want a rental or take a taxi. You can take a water taxi and get around that way too. Which was an adventure in itself. I would highly recommend staying here - in the boat house or the villa. I would also recommend East End Divers for great boating, snorkeling or diving experience.

Owner
Thank you for the great review. We are so happy you enjoyed your visit. Its awesome that you got out and about to see and do so much - even with the yukky rains! Our road was graded by the municipal recently, so it should stay good through the winter months. We had an unusual amount of rain during October and November that played havoc with all the dirt roads on the island. Be sure to visit Roatan again!

Nanaimo BC CanadaPeaceful secluded location with a fabulous snorkeling spot
Left on 12/10/2010 for a stay in November 2010
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.
