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. 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.

This was a nice location, very quiet yet only a few minutes drive to dive shops, restaurants, groceries and other shopping. We were very happy with this home and will stay here again when we return to Roatan.

Great private location in Roatan

Sunnyside is a great location. This was our 3rd trip to Roatan and we stayed in a smaller house nearby the last time so we knew the area. The house was clean, the beds were comfortable, and being right on the ocean was spectacular. I loved sitting in the hammock on the deck with my beverage of choice nearby and listening to the water.

Great winter getaway!

We loved this place. Very quiet and peaceful, with beautiful views of the bay. Snorkeling on the reef was a so easy - just a short swim off the end of a private dock. And all the gear was provided! For the best experience, you really need a car if you stay here. We loved driving all over the island. Venessa was great and everything was easy and we felt well-attended. I highly recommend this place!!

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.

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 .

Fun house on a beautiful quite beach

After a week of non-stop diving, we looked for a beach house to relax for a few days before heading home. Spooky Chanel house was perfect! The house was fun and well stocked. The beach was lovely and the snorkeling easy access (swim from the dock) and very good. The neighborhood is quiet, yet just a short drive to great restaurants. The house was very safe - fortresslike with heavy locks and window grids. We would happily return in the future.

Snorkeling Heaven

Appox. 200 meter to the reef. Easy swim. Totally perfect snorkeling. We have been around but this was the best so far. You need to go to Raja Ampat for something equel. House and Vanessa is of course also great. Veranda could not be better. Olle and family

Awesome !

We enjoyed every moment at this beautiful home at Sandy Bay. The house, being located on the beach, being surrounded by palm trees and the warm breeze, the dock, the amazing reef right off the dock where we snorkeled every day, the awesome neighbors, the sunsets, the sunrises, the dinners we cooked after catching tuna right in front of the house, the help we received from the house manager Vanessa, was incredibly perfect. We hope to return again soon! Thank you for sharing your amazing home with us !

Great place to stay in Sandy Bay

Spent a week in this perfect oceanfront villa. Nothing is lacking: well-equipped, well-maintained, outstanding water's edge location. We ate, read, hammocked on the porch, snorkeled to the very close reef, enjoyed the dock to watch the sunset. The beach here is quiet: some horseback riders, fishermen, kids/families walking along the sandy shore. Recommend this villa for all ages looking for a peaceful vacation, yet near many good restaurants and island activities (don't miss the adjacent dolphin preserve for a swim with the beautiful beasts.) We had a rental car (not cheap) to enable searching out the fun stops and best eats; without it, our stay would have been more limited to the villa.

Celebrating our 50th on Spooky Channel

The house was very accurately represented in the listing. All features were very good. The kitchen was large and well equipped. The deck was enormous, we ate breakfast and lunch there every day that we didn't go out. Access to the dock and snorkeling was simple and straightforward. Security was excellent. Vanessa was very thorough checking us in and always accessable if we needed help. We experienced NO problems with bugs despite some earlier comments I had seen!

Pure Heaven

We were blessed to be staying at Sunnyside in June. The house is perfect. So peaceful but about a 10 min. ride to town. The house had everything we needed including snorkel gear (but we brought our own). Breakfast on the covered veranda was a perfect way to begin our day. The two bedrooms were air conditioned and if you left your bedroom doors open, it cooled off the rest of the house nicely. Snorkeling was awesome. Just a short swim off the dock and the reef was right there. Vanessa was amazing. She set up some trips and a spa day for us. We had a wonderful relaxing week and will definitely e back soon.

We had a lovely stay.

The property is as described. Vanessa was quick to answer questions. Chris was also quick to answer questions. We had no problem checking in. The porch stayed shaded all day. There is a fan in the bed room, if you need it for the porch. The bed was very comfortable. The house has character. I thought the kitchen was charming. The whole house has island charm. The Reef is within a short distance from the house. The house is in a very quiet area. I'm glad I chose the house.

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.

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.

Amazing location for snorkeling! Perfect patio for enjoying evenings and watching sunsets.

Let me start with this is an amazing location and overall great rental. Perfect 2 bedroom master suites with plenty of room. Very well stocked kitchen with almost everything you need for cooking. Plenty of towels for home use and beach use. A local phone is provided with the house and comes in handy as well as piece off mind in the event of an emergency. The sulphur smell when using the hot water was very strong during the entire stay. Plenty of drinking water was available.The water pressure wasn't great and the shower heads in the bathrooms as well as the outdoor shower are in need of replacement. Light switches around the house might be dated and are at times difficult to operate. Some of the lights (porch and living room) still blinked (strobed) after being turned off. This home also does not have a generator which caused some discomfort the three times the power went out. The power was only out each time 20-45 minutes so not having a generator wasn't the end of the world. The dock used by the Sunnyside residents was a great addition. You can not swim from the beach of the house due to the turtle grass. This seemed to be a issue for most of the island. Use the dock to get past the grass and shorten the swim to the reef. The small bridge (just before the house) you have to go over and the parking space at the house is tight and might be difficult for a larger van type vehicle to maneuver. While this property has some minor updating and maintenance issues, it's and amazing property, perfect location half way between Eldons grocery store and west end. You will enjoy the stay and being in paradise.

I don’t wanna go home :(

I’m sitting on the front porch watching the ocean. Suitcase packed, waiting for our ride to the airport. I’ve been here for a week with my sister. Roatan is wonderful. This house was perfect for us. It’s a beach house. Not really fancy. But neither are we lol. It’s nice, but not so fancy that you are uncomfortable hanging out in your bathing suit and just lazing around. It is VERY well equipped. We are avid snorkelers and have all our own gear which we brought with us. The ad said there was snorkeling gear. Usually that means a pair of mismatched fins and a broken snorkel. But I wish we hadn’t lugged our stuff here. There’s a lot of nice gear here, even snorkel vests. Two almost identical master bedrooms with big, comfortable beds. Decent bathrooms and showers. Yes, there could be more water pressure, but it’s fine and I think that’s a Roatan problem not a Home problem. Great AC in both bedrooms just like advertised. Lots of comfy veranda furniture. TV works although we only turned it on once. Comfy living room furniture. The kitchen has it all. It’s much better equipped than mine at home! There was literally nothing we could think of that isn’t here. No see ums were never a problem. Maybe they are seasonal?? Got bit by mosquitoes once or twice. No biggie. Wonderful snorkeling off the dock!!!!! I don’t get what the issues/complaints are about the sea grass. There is some but not much....certainly not enough to stop us from getting in the water from shore or dock. We have felt very safe here. Friendly neighbors, but not too friendly. Security system on the house is a plus and also there’s a nice safe for passports and stuff. Vanessa, the caretaker is very good. She is just a text away if there is any issue. We didn’t rent a car which saved us big $$$. A short walk to the main road and every time we had a taxi within two minutes. Maybe less. All in all we thought it was the perfect home away from home!

Spooky Channel House

Excellent location, excellent manager Vanessa. Decent privacy. General maintenance and repairs needed. One shower and cold dip was inoperative. Drapes needed on upper windows to block out the security light that we could not turn off(we stuffed towels in the windows). Many different locks and keys made entry/exit complicated, stressful, difficult. A simple keypad lock would be a huge improvement. AC is only in bedrooms. Plenty of mosquitos and ants inside the house. Wish there were a couple glasses for drinking (there were only old plastic cups) and wish there was a medium sized saucepan. We almost bought some at Eldon's, but never got around to it.
