This is an excellent place to stay. It’s right on the beach. The neighborhood is quirky at times, with marching band practice and local dogs always making things interesting and animated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Just beautiful!

This is the cleanest and cutest place. It’s clean, modern ( this is so hard to find in Roatan), private, great amenities. We have been coming to Roatan since 2017 and this is by far our most favorite place. The cafe 314 is delicious and just down the beach definitely recommend to swing by here. The grocery store is also a walk away as well. You will love staying here!

Pool was wonderful. Just as an FYI. The newly stained deck is extremely slippery. One of us slipped and fell into the pool. The deck was dry. He sustained a gash on his knee and bruises on his hip. Even more slippery when wet. Eveything else was phenomenal

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Location
The place was just ok.The biggest problem was it's not in the safest neighborhood. The neighbors had 2 dogs tied up in the vacant lot right next to the house and they barked from 5:30am till around midnight. There were stray dogs everywhere. We had 2 come up on the upper deck several times. After 4 days of that we had to find other accommodations. So very disappointing. Unfortunate waste of money.

Thank you for your review. We were disappointed to learn of these concerns only after your departure from the property, as they were never reported through your reservation, directly to us, or to our property management team during your stay. We always encourage guests to contact us immediately so we have an opportunity to help resolve any issues. Our listing accurately describes the property as being located in a local residential neighborhood, and many guests specifically choose it for that authentic island setting. While experiences and expectations vary, the location is not represented as being within a resort or secluded tourist area. We appreciate your feedback and remain committed to providing accurate property information and responsive guest support.

2nd time staying here - perfect - few times a day I go out to the reef with the kayak which I tow behind me. There are always several dive boats right out front showing that this is the place to be. I love the privacy and quiet yet still with close access to West End and West Bay. The cooling pool is a plus - I wouldn’t stay anywhere else

We enjoyed our stay at Coconut Cottage away from the resort crowds. Located in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful beach for a walk. We enjoyed the pool. We also had a car so we could travel around the island as we like to get out and see other areas getting to know the people, food and culture of Roatan. We highly recommend this property for an pleasant time in Roatan.

We loved our stay at The Coconut Cottage. Views were spectacular, weather was great and the cottage had a comfortable feel. Took the kayaks out multiple times and snorkeled out by the floating raft. Enjoyed walking for breakfast to Cafe 314 and Samona's Kitchen. Short drive to Ramirez grocery store and West End. My only small notes were that the shower head was in need of a deep clean as it had black gunk all over it. To our knowledge the pool/yard maintenance was not there all week as i noted a sand pile on the bottom of the pool that was present our whole stay. The lower ac unit had a small exterior vibration. None of these would prevent us from booking again. Highly recommended property.

The property is gorgeous and exactly as described in the pictures. The pool was great and rests at an ideal temperature - not too cold, not too hot. A/C works well, although we didn't use it much as there are ceiling fans, and windows on all 4 sides of the house to open and let the breeze through. All the windows and doors had locks, there is an alarm system, and we felt very secure. The beach was free of garbage, and seaweed surprisingly! The BBQ got a lot of use and most meals were taken on the upper deck watching the sunset. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to prepare meals, although a few more Tupperware pieces would be nice. The only thing I would add would be a gate at the top of the exterior stairs to the deck. There are a few dogs that come onto the property (they dig under the fence, nothing you can do), and can be a bit annoying when you're trying to eat - they are friendly however. We have rented several beach houses in the Caribbean and Central America, and this one is getting a return visit.

Amazing Home!

This property is outstanding. It is very clean, very comfortable and at least as good as advertised, if not better. The view is amazing and being right on the beach is incredible. West End is a short taxi ride away and there is a wonderful cafe in easy walking distance and most of the walk is along the beach! We stayed here for the first night of our vacation and took the ferry to Utila the next day, but when we come back to Roatan for future trips, we will definitely stay here again!

Great stay in Roatan

The cottage was great. Off the beaten path location, nice and quiet. Right on beach, beautiful reef a couple hundred yards offshore. We really enjoyed the pool and the kayaks. Snorkeling was perfect, clear warm water, saw squid, barracuda, puffers, and beautiful shallow reefs. Great scuba operations nearby as well. The location made it easy to drive to both west and east sides of island. Shopping and restaurants not far away. This choice worked really well for us.

Lovely spot

House is very nice with beautiful views and sunsets. Pool is key as it’s not a great swimming beach but the snorkeling off the reef in the distance is nice. We had a few issues with the house the first few days— no fault of the owner whose local team dropped the ball. Once settled in we had a lovely time
