Our beach
house (also called a cabana at Sundancer) is just steps from the beach and sits
on a small rise of land that helps it catch the cooling effects of the Trade
Winds. The large veranda across the front of the cabana receives early morning
sun, but is shaded for most of the remainder of the day by palm and nut trees in
front and a huge mango tree to the side. The veranda (as pictured) has now
been screened so that you may enjoy the outdoors at all times, or have the French doors
open all evening, without the bother of flying insects.
The house
is build in island style, which means that it sits on large posts well above the
ground and is of tongue and groove native Honduran pine construction. Two
French doors open on to the veranda and the windows are all screened and closed
by means of glass shutters. The furniture is also constructed of Honduran
pine, mahogany and sunwood. The beach house has two bedrooms, a 3-piece
bathroom (shower), good closet space and an open kitchen-dining-living area.
In addition to the two
double beds there is a futon couch in the living area, which can provide
sleeping for an additional adult or two children.
The kitchen has a stove, new refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. It is fully equipped with utensils, pots & pans and dishes. Each room has a ceiling fan, plus there are air conditioners in each bedroom. This plus the 9-foot ceilings help to keep the beach house cool. It comes fully equipped with dish towels, linens, pillows, face clothes and many large towels. All the linens and the cabana are cleaned before your arrival and after your departure. If you require cleaning, cooking or laundry services during your stay, the rental manager will be able to arrange this at quite moderate cost.
The cabana also has a radio/CD player (there is one English radio station on Roatan) and a TV/VCR with approximately 40-channel cable. A little over half the channels are from the U.S. and the balance are in Spanish.
