About this property

Sea, sand and serenity at Spooky Channel

Spooky Channel Villa is named after one of Roatan's famous dive and snorkel sites, situated a short swim or snorkel straight off of our private dock. Diving and fishing the boats will pick you up right off the end of the dock. Both the house and the dock have outdoor fresh water showers for your convenience.

The Villa is right on the beach on the north shore of the island which highlights nice breezes and amazing sunsets. The hammock and comfy chairs on the patio offer the perfect spot for eating, relaxing, and taking siestas! A cold water dipping pool also enhances the patio.

The Villa has two spacious bedrooms with king beds and separate bathrooms. A full-size air mattress is also available. The living room has a flat screen TV with a DVD player. Internet and WIFI are provided. The kitchen is fully equipped with gas stove, microwave, blender, toaster, and coffee maker and has a full set of dishes, cups, utensils, etc.

While a car isn't necessary - cabs and buses are easily accessed at the end of the neighborhood road - there is a driveway directly at the Villa. Shops, restaurants and bars are about 10 minutes away.

A private chef can be arranged to come and cook for you via Vanessa...let us know if interested.

40th aniversary
Older, but unique and nice house, accurate description. Great location for ocean access and snorkeling. Two suite bedrooms worked well for two couples. Great air conditioning for bedrooms, but a little warm and humid inside otherwise. Host and property manger are great to work with. We were glad for a rental car since we frequently ate out. Unfortunately, one of the ladies in our group was attacked by a loose guard dog while walking right next to the ocean near the house. It was traumatic, with multiple deep bite wounds. It was explained to us that this is very rare, however we learned that some locals cary sticks, mace, or even knives while walking, and seldom go out at night. Guard dogs, pibulls, etc are pretty much a requirement for local residents, to deal with crime. This house does have excellent security, and we felt safe inside at night and outside during the day.We did enjoy walking along the beach together, but with sticks. Very good snorkeling .. lots of reef fish, eels, turtles, small squid, rays, barracuda, big tarpon .. spooky chanel was fun.

Perfect for a family with kids
This place is a hidden gem! We stayed here with our two young boys and they loved the beach and dipping pool! The house was perfect for a family with kids. We felt very safe the entire time and enjoyed meeting the neighbors. We saw a starfish and a few fish under the pier. My only criticism would be that the pier is in need of repairs but that is supposed to be done soon. All in all, it was the perfect stay for us to relax and enjoy time together as a family in an unbelievably beautiful setting.

Sunnyside
Excellent stay. Internet was fast. Cable tv for at night was excellent. Beach was beautiful. Snorkeling off the beach was close only negative is you had to swim across a very busy channel. House itself was well equipped ,clean and comfortable. A/C in bedrooms was nice .

Beautiful Setting
This property was perfect for low key, out-of-the- touristy madness relaxation. We 4 sisters in our 70's enjoyed being right on the beach to watch the waves, birds, & sunsets. A couple of us snorkeled using the equipment supplied. The kitchen had all the equipment we needed to prepare some meals. It was easy to get a taxi from the nearby main road to go to the West End. We also easily beach walked to a couple of restaurants.. We never needed to use the bedroom air conditioning as the open windows & ceiling fans kept us comfortable. The biggest improvement we'd suggest is a thorough cleaning and/or painting of the louvered kitchen cupboard doors which we recognize must be a challenge to keep clean when multiple guests and sea air are continuously impacting them. We highly recommend this VRBO.

About the host

Hosted by Chris D

Host profile image
I am an East coast gal who has spent years traveling the world in search of the perfect place to have a vacation house were the people are kind, the weather is perfect, and the diving is fantastic. I found it! When not diving I enjoy swimming, cycling, running, hiking and digging (gardening) in my yard. My constant companion is my beautiful dog Dara.

Why they chose this property

I wasn't sure where on Roatan I wanted to be, and looked in numerous areas before seeing Spooky...a house with character and charm on the beach...I was excited. The property has lush, mature vegetation and a water channel on one side. Further, the Sunnyside neighborhood in Sandy Bay is lovely, private, and so close to the reef. It's ideally located close to the West Bay and West End where shops and restaurants are plentiful.

What makes this property unique

Just 50 yards out from our dock is Incredible snorkeling along the reef in front of the house. The house boasts mature palm trees and shrubs for shade and privacy, while the beach in front provides plenty of sun and unimpeded view of the ocean.
