House was just as described and pictured. Cathy was very helpful and met us there, as well as arranged transport for us to and from the airport via Marty's van service. It was clean and well-maintained, and the kitchen was well-stocked with basics such as pots and pans and spices. There is a safe to keep your property in, and a washer and dryer. We went with another couple and rented it as a 2 BR.
We were there in March and paid extra for the bedroom air conditioning, which I would recommend. It is hot there! I would have liked a couple of box fans for the living room/kitchen area. I would highly recommend this property to those looking for a place to call home base while they adventure. If you are a resort type person it's probably not up your alley, although really neither is Roatan in general. Wifi worked well. Grounds are gorgeous and lush!
Location is great. The front porch was amazing!! The dock requires a key and is shared with the other Sunnyside properties, and we met many friendly ex-pats/frequent vacationers who gave us helpful tips about the snorkeling and local attractions. Location is out of this world! Jump off the dock, swim 2 or 3 minutes and you are in world-class snorkeling! You are straight in front of Spooky Channel. We spent several hours a day snorkeling, every single day. Avoid low tide though as the current is very strong. We saw amazing fish and coral as well as a ray, sea turtle, eel, lobster, oh my!
We did not rent a car, taxis came by frequently and took us to West End for restaurants and bars. House is about halfway in between Anthony's Key Resort and Lawson's Rock. Marty's wife Blackie cooked us a wonderful meal one night. We also arranged horseback riding with Marvin through Anthony's Key, which was amazing for an experienced rider. There is a mom and pop restaurant a short walk down the beach, El Poso(?), attached to a school that we went to for some lovely views and breakfasts. This property is currently for sale, and I hope it remains a rental so we can go back!! One of the best vacations ever. Thanks Cathy.
