Waterfront 1 Bedroom Boat House, South Shore - Kayak, Snorkel, Dive, Pool, Wi-fi

Thank you for considering staying with us! Roatan offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world!
We are excited to be the new owners of, Windwood Serenity, (formerly, Castaways Cove) in Caribe Point on the south shore.
Your eco-friendly private water-front Boat house rental awaits with the Caribbean Sea at your door!
When choosing where to spend your vacation, we know you have many options. Knowing what to expect helps you make a good choice, and helps us to make a good impression.
Our property sits on the hillside above the water. Access to the boathouse and or dock is via a staircase leading down from the pool level which you can see in the photos. The private, nautical-themed, one-1 Bedroom boat house sits right above the water and is the perfect choice for couples seeking quiet privacy, getting in touch with nature, immediate water access, and picturesque views for a romantic getaway or as an oasis for water sports..
The water in the bight is clean, here on the south shore where the shallow reef attracts a variety of sea life. The breezes are wonderful for coolness and helps keep bugs at bay.
This eco-friendly sea front rental includes an air conditioned 1 bedroom* with a Queen- Size bed, a spacious living area, and fully equipped kitchen.
We are an eco-friendly VRBO. Please plan on bringing reef friendly sunscreen or better yet rash guards. We encourage the use of re-fill water bottles and provide a clean water dispenser inside your rental. Please do not drink the water from the tap. It is not filtered. But no need to buy bottled water and add to the surplus of plastic in our world and oceans.
Leave no trace and respect the reef and sea life. Please no throwing anything in the water. Absolutely no touching, standing on or taking souvenirs from the reef.
Because the south shore is known for its breezes, ceiling fans in the living/eating area keep boathouse comfortable and many guests do not even use the air conditioning in the bedroom.
Steps away from the boathouse, our private dock offers unlimited opportunity! Leisurely snorkel our shallow area of the reef, or kayak to the nearby mangrove tunnels built by the Paypan Indians and used by pirates. Other kayak destinations include nearby restaurants like Trico’s (Jonesville Point Marina) , On the Rock, Hole in the Wall and McNabbs.
Sit-On-Top Kayaks, that normally rent for $50+ a day each on the island are included free with this rental**. Our guests tell us the island's best snorkel is right at the entrance to our bight, where you can snorkel day after day and always see different marine life.
Other options included arranging for personalized dive services, boat excursions or a catamaran snorkeling trips. Tortuga Diving at Tricos or Reef House offer diving, lessons or a discovery dive - no certification needed. A local fishing guide or water taxi offer island exploration. Taxi or van service can also be coordinated depending upon your destination needs. (please note, private excursions, water taxi, etc. are not included with the price of your rental.)
There is access to diving, restaurants and other great activities via water taxi right from our dock. Fresh seafood (fish, shrimp, lobster) delivery is another option.
We invite all our guests to enjoy our 30-foot- long swimming pool, sun patio and covered seating area as well as complimentary use of our kayaks.
Logistically, our entire property consists of the main house where the owners reside with their 3 dogs. The Boathouse, which sleeps 2 guests, and a full two-2 bedroom Villa Rental (VRBO Rental # 3262861**) which sleeps up to 5 people. So crowds at the pool are never a problem. PLEASE NOTE, GUESTS AT THE POOL OR YOUR RENTAL ARE STRICTLY PROHIBIITED.
Additionally, we also maintain a quiet time of after 10 pm. You are still welcome to enjoy subdued conversation and the fresh ocean breezes till later but kindly understand this rule is to insure everyone’s peaceful later night time enjoyment.
We are away from the noisy main tourist area and cruise ships, yet only 20 minutes from French Harbour restaurants and shopping. We're just 3 miles from Turquoise Bay and west of Jonesville and Oakridge.
Our property is surrounded by woods and has lush tropical flora. and our dock provides easy access for swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and boating.
We will always respect your privacy, but as we live on property, we are available to answer any questions or address any concerns.
If you seek an ideal place to relax and revive, while getting in touch with nature, you have found it!
For a hassle-free vacation, contact us today.
Due to rising electric costs, we now meter and charge guests for electricity used, at the current rate of 48 cents per kwh. An image of the meter is taken at check-in and checkout. This allows each guest to control their use of A/C.

*AC unit in bedroom only. There are ceiling fans in the kitchen, and living area. There is also a ceiling fan in the bedroom
** Kayak weight capacity limit is 250 lbs. no exceptions

Kayaking and Gorgeous View
This was my last stop on an amazing 12 day trip in Honduras. Plan was to relax and kayak! Loved the place and view could not get enough of. Enjoyed reading a book in the morning in the hammock and then heading out on the water. Kayaking was great with mangrove tunnels to get to some great bars/restaurants. I had snorkeled often the first half of my trip so I continued to Kayak but snorkeling was available. There are quite a good amount of steps to get to the place but it is private and well worth it. I would absolutely stay here again. Chris

Didn't Have The Roatan Vibe
This is a cute property right on a cove. It is not close to many restaurants or stores. The terrain to get there is mountainous, narrow, with unpaved/poorly paved roads. Once there, you have over 115 stairs on steep terrain to get to the the unit. The pool is shared with the owners and only open to guests from 10am-5pm. In order to use a kayak or paddleboard, you must put down a $100 deposit. There is a small window ac unit in the bedroom that cooled the bedroom at night just fine. But, the ac unit would not cool the bedroom for a nap during the day. There were many different varieties of ants in this unit and we both left with several ant bites. And, if you missed it, you are charged per kwh for power.

Hosts were very accommodating, helpful, and all around wonderful. Location is remote and peaceful yet there are restaurants nearby. The use of the kayaks and paddle boards was awesome and the mangroves were easily accessible and relaxing to paddle through. Very nice little reef directly in front, the dock access was great for swimming, snorkeling and boat pickup. Not near the hustle and bustle of the west end, but definitely a more island feel which was exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a peaceful island getaway.

Boathouse overlooking Caribe Point
Nancy and Phil are wonderful hosts and it was a pleasure waking up to the view of the Caribe point bay and watching the sunset. The pool was unexpectedly warm and refreshing as it's a salt water pool. It's a great place to relax watching Nancy's flowers grow and Edgar the chameleon coming to visit (and eat food out of Phil's hand). I would enjoy staying there again.

Caribe Point Paradise
This property is absolutely wonderful. Right on top of the water. We loved the views, the breezes and quiet time on the deck. The property is well appointed and the kayaks are an extra bonus. We loved that this property has a pool and we used it to cool down at the end of the day. The pool views are awesome while cooling down. Phil and Nancy are the on site owners who are there for any of your needs or questions. They are responsive and accommodating to you request. If you're looking for a relaxing property that still has access to restaurants and other activities this is your place. We utilize the fresh seafood delivery and were not disappointed with this service. Thank you Phil and Nancy for everything!
