Tranquil One Acre Estate On The Beach w private pool Sunsets!!!

There is AC only in the principal bedroom as the rest of the house can not be closed in as you can see from the pictures. The house is designed to move the breezes through it. If using AC we ask that you only use at night ( most people prefer natural air flow which is supplemented by fans) You will have to close all the windows and the door. Power on the island is extremely expensive and AC is a major user.

Unique Casa Cowee, is a true island home. With almost constant breeze. Recently renovated island-style on a lush private 1 acre estate, nestled in the warm, friendly community of West Sandy Bay, offers dramatic million dollar views of the Caribbean and richly varied living spaces – including a spacious Main House with new (2024) wood floors, new extensive kitchen and your own private pool overlooking the Caribbean, large bedroom pod with quality king bed and loft with queen bed and 2 pc bath. We can add a single bed ($30 a night) Also a smaller self contained Casita (queen bed) with it’s own deck, kitchen and bath can be rented along with the main house for another $55 per night per person(only available when renting the main house) The gazebo covered Sunset Deck off the main house is where friends meet for many a good time.
Casa Cowee's 70 foot swimming dock (occasionally enjoyed by our neighbors) and tranquil waterfront provide unlimited fishing (inquire about licences) but no poaching lobsters and conch, Snorkeling (reef in front of property), swimming, scuba diving, (2 dive shops) dolphin-watching, and the opportunity to explore the colorful marine life in the Sandy Bay/West End Marine Reserve.
Included;

We have added a double to our two single kayaks for your enjoyment and provide you with snorkelling equipment for your stay. There is also a beautiful spa about a 200 foot walk down the beach.
Located on our beach just a couple of minutes walk is the Beach Grill Restaurant, Tranquil Seas Bar and restaurant, Anthony’s Key and many other local good eats, music and dancing! For diving on our beach you have Sandy Bay Divers at the Beach Grill and Tranquil Seas Diving.
This unique beachfront plus rain forest property is just a short 10 min. drive to West End Village for dining, shopping and great evening entertainment. On Roatan fun is had by all residents and tourists alike.
20 min. from airport. Car rentals are optional as it is a very walkable location.

The home is surrounded by expansive decks offering gracious outdoor living with lush tropical landscaping and exquisite sunset views. There is a new gas BBQ hut which is a great place to gather.

We invite you to enjoy our family home. Come live in an island paradise – relax on your private decks overlooking the deep blue Caribbean Sea, cooled by trade winds and surrounded by the fragrance of beautiful tropical flowers.

Since I bought Casa Cowee in 2013 we have made many improvements and the property is now fully fenced and gated. New stone walkways. Jose the caretaker is on the property basically 24/7 for your convenience. Jose can arrange tours land and sea and fishing etc. This Island is wonderful oasis and there is no need to live in a gated community. The Islanders are wonderful!

Christmas 2024
My family of four with 2 teenage boys stayed for the week of Christmas in 2024What we loved about the house: The layout of the house is highly functional - kitchen with countertop seating, right off the living room with a round dining table. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook including olive oil. We played card games and put together puzzles when it was raining. Master bedroom bed was very comfortable with great lighting for reading in bed. The owner put an extra twin bed in loft so my boys didn't have to share a bed which they appreciated. I appreciated the nice deck to watch my boy fish and snorkel from the dock and also to be able to sit outside even if it was raining. There are 2 restaurants within walking distance. We thought the food was amazing at The Sunken FishHighly recommend night and day snorkeling in the West End. Search Facebook for Cory's Snorkeling tours. He picked us up for the day snorkeling, got us reserved chairs on the beach and help us rent jet skis later in the day. The snorkeling was the highlight or our trip. We went on a day that no cruise ships were in port. The only thing that we didn't like was that the neighborhood shot off firecrackers which sounded like M80s - but guessing that's only during the holidays. The owner Suzanne was great with communication and Jose was always available if we needed anything.

Gorgeous eco lodges on the water
Our group of one mom and 3 college-aged young people enjoyed our stay at this lush property - complete with a giant mango tree and peaceful deck with stunning Caribbean views and several lodging options depending on your group size. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the hammocks or pool overlooking the water. We walked to two of the local restaurants for dinner on several occasions and we often enjoyed amazing breakfasts cooked with fresh eggs on the property and cantaloupe-sized mangos, both happily provided by Jose the ever attentive property manager. Both Jose and the resident cat-ambassador, Jack, made us feel safe and at home. Speaking of safety, the property is secured but a gait, important to us as it was our first trip to Roatan. We found the locals to be welcoming and we never questioned our safety. We elected to not rent a car an used transportation arranged by Jose whenever we needed it. If you are visiting Roatan, you are here for the water. We went out several times by boat to snorkel at some of the healthiest reefs we have ever seen. You will of course hit the more popular sites like the "aquarium" but I highly recommend less visited sites like Palmetto I took an amazing yoga class at Sun Yoga. And this location is right next to Anthony's Key resorts where we you can see happy dolphins performing or in training AND they are let out regularly, returning of their own free will! Can't say enough about the level of service that Jose provides, unsurpassed.

Our Happy Place
Our family of 9 with ages ranging from 19 to 75 stayed for the last week of June at Suzanne's piece of paradise. My SO and I stayed at the Temple Treehouse several years ago and loved it so much we wanted to share it with our family. We rented the entire property - Casa Cowee, Casita, and Temple Treehouse. All of the rooms were clean and comfortable and the group appreciated having lots of space to spread out. We especially loved time on the main deck at Casa Cowee and the upper pool where a beautiful sunset view could be enjoyed while sipping a cold drink and floating in the cool water. The kitchens are all well appointed, even for a group as large as ours, and the propane grill is great for cooking out. On nights when we chose not to cook, a 5 minute walk up the beach took us to a great beach bar and grill where they knew us by name by the end of the week. We took advantage of the snorkeling equipment several times and enjoyed exploring the reef off the dock right in front of the house. We also used the kayaks to explore the nearby shorlines. Jose did an absolutely awesome job taking care of us during our stay. Without ever being intrusive he was always present when we needed his help, beginning with welcoming us on arrival and helping carry our bags and groceries up to the houses. He responded happily to our every request, no matter what it was. Mom especially loved walking the property with him and learning about all of the beautiful landscaping. Can't wait to return!!

Bug out!
I am not really able to give a comprehensive review because we didn’t even spend the first night there. We were run out by bugs inside Casa Cowee late in the evening after traveling all day. The host was very accusatory—I am not sure how I am responsible for this situation. Although it says no pets, there are 5 or 6 cats living there/food and water bowls by the front door. Although she had the place sprayed for bugs 3 weeks ago, bugs were everywhere inside the house. Even in the bed. I have photos. We looked forward to this trip for months, we had to vacate and wound up in a horrible place in West Bay for the duration of our trip.

Unforgettable Getaway
I booked this property on short notice and the host, Suzanne immediately responded to all my questions. When we arrive we were greeted by Jose, the caretaker and he took our bags to the house showed us around. The house is a little older but it is warm and inviting and the new pool is perfect to cool off, the views were astounding! Jose arranged for a fishing/snorkel tour and we caught a black fin tuna and the boat crew made ceviche with it, absolutely delicious! All around wonderful mini vacation, I will be booking again in the near future!

A perfect island getaway
We loved staying at this property. Everything was attended to by Jose. We ate fresh lobster, conch, pineapple and the vegetable truck came directly to the house upon request. Everyday we see kayaked, snorkeled, swam and enjoyed the sunset. An absolutely beautiful view caps off the perfect comfort and convenience of this place.

Great experience at Casa Cowee!
My family of 5 ranging from age 3-75 stayed at Casa Cowee for a week in March. We had a great time! The place is wonderful, a rustic style yet super comfortable. The view can't be beat. You can see the dolphins frolicing at Anthony's Key, boats coming and going, and locals on the beach road and dock just below the house. With that in mind, be aware that the beach is also a road and path and it's a local residential area, so there is some vehicle noise and we heard nearby residents playing loud music a couple nights. It wasn't super disruptive but if you're looking for that "deserted beach" feel this isn't quite it. Don't let that discourage you though! The patio is SOOOO pleasant and the swimming pool was perfect, especially for our kids who loved it. And because it's right on the deck they could play and be supervised easily. Jose, the property caretaker, is just lovely and will come help with anything you need at any time. The property managers Shannin and Kimberlee were also very helpful and kind when we met them. The "casita" is a studio unit under the master bedroom of the main house. It has totally separate entrances if desired but since we were using both units our mom was able to come directly up in the morning and join us for breakfast without walking around. There is also another unit (the Treehouse) on the same property that shares a common grill and pathway. Overall, I highly recommend a stay at Casa Cowee!

Atmosphere abounds
We had an issue with the first rental we reserved and found the "Tranquil One Acre" otherwise known as Casa Cowee in time for our vacation. First of all Suzanne Boyce, the owner, is an absolutely wonderful communicator. She responded to all my questions quickly and clearly. We met her on our first day there and she is really sweet. We also met the property Manager Channin Bodden and his wife Kimberley when we arrived and they too are exceptionally nice and fun people. We booked a tour of the island with Channin and he gave us more than our money's worth. Very Informative. Jose is the caretaker who lives in a separate house on the property. I downloaded Whatsapp and it was great to communicate with Jose and Channin, and Jose was extremely prompt and helpful with our requests. The property is not new and shiny like a fancy hotel, but it has character and atmosphere that was hard to beat. We spent a lot of time on the covered deck, enjoying the cool breezes, the view of the Dolphin shows and awesome sunsets. The deck offers almost a 180 degree vista of the ocean, and is a very special place. Just a short walk down the beach (3 minutes), is the Blue Bahia Beach Grill. So good that we ate there three times and loved the live music on Thursday and Sunday. Try the Jerk Fish Sandwich YUM! Sea Bass done just right with a slice of grilled pineapple on top. Not a combination I expected to like, but I LOVED it. We had a great time.

Casa Cowee: Unforgettable!
We stayed at the Casa for a week and loved it! The house has incredible views of the ocean throughout! The kitchen was a main gathering place (2nd to the main deck) and was well-equipped! The house is so unique, beautifully decorated, + very comfortable. There was always a breeze + it was so nice to breathe in fresh air 24/7! The grounds are gorgeous with foliage that made it feel like paradise! The new private pool was a nice feature as well! Felt at home the whole time! We loved the snorkeling - both out front of the casa as well as an excursion over towards the West Bay. We took the kayaks out and it was nice to have access to those at our whim. Suzanne was a nice host! Jose was available to help with anything we needed + shared eggs from his chickens! Channin was helpful, drove us everywhere + had great recommendations. Both quickly felt like family friends! We stopped at Eldon's on the way from the airport, which has just about anything you would want. There is also a market that's walkable from the casa. We walked to several great restaurants down the beach + walked over to the Carambola Gardens across the main road, where we hiked a jungle trail to the top of the mountain for a nice view of the bay! There is traffic on the beach as it serves as a road, which was a little unexpected, but we got used to the sporadic noise from scooters. Folks around the area are very polite + we felt safe. Views, snorkeling, + atmosphere were spectacular! We hope to return!

Paradise found!
Suzanne’s place was definitely a place to relax and rejuvenate! It reminds me of an updated Swiss Family Robinson’s Tree House. The property is amazing, clean and has everything you need to feel at home. Jose is great! He helped us with everything from luggage to taking us to the best snorkel spot. We loved being surrounded by the local people. They are very sweet spirited and greet you with a smile and friendly ‘holla! Suzanne is very fond of the people and they of her. BONUS - from the gazebo you can watch the dolphins play in their sanctuary next door. You can also kayak or swim from the beach to their pen and see them up close. We can’t wait to go back to Casa Cowee bring other friends and family. Next time we plan a longer stay😍

New years Holiday w/family of 6
This was a trip with my grown children and their +1. The property is one in a million, everything we could ask for plus. I think our kids appreciated it more once we took a drive down to West Bay and West End. The location is peaceful, safe and cared for. We loved our time at the house, swimming off the dock and snorkeling at our leisure. The view is beautiful and so relaxing not being in the heart of all the tourist chaos. Suzanne (the owner) has classic taste, the house is well appointed and cared after. Jose, the caretaker is conscious and attentive. He knew our coming and going and was always there to greet us. We did have a fair amount of rain, but it didn't matter as we could all catch up on sleeping in! Suzanne, thank you for sharing your home and Jose, thank you for making our trip memorable! All the best in 2024!

Simply Amazing!!
Casa Cowee is truly a special place! My wife and I, and our two children (ages 11 and 12) stayed for 12 days in the beginning of June - and it was a trip of a lifetime. We are avid snorkelers - and the snorkeling on Roatan is amazing - but the best part is some of the best reef is directly in front of the property and accessible from the pier. Moreover, there are other nearby reef sections perfect for snorkeling that you can get to by Kayak. Night Snorkeling from this area is amazing as well - too many octopus to count! The property itself is amazing if you are not looking to be in town. We felt like we were living in the middle of the jungle (because we were) and loved every part of it. But I cannot go any further without saying how perfect it is to have JOSE on the property. He was awesome, and our family grew close to him over the short time we were there - he was there to assist with anything and everything - and made us feel really secure and like nothing could go wrong. Super nice gentlemen, and Jose absolutely made our stay at Casa Cowee that much more special. The location is great as well - 10-15 minutes to West End if you want to go that way - but there are 3 great restaurants within walking distance as well. THe restaurant at Anthony's Key was top notch (food, staff, everything) - and Blue Bahia had a perfect small diving hotel/restaurant vibe to it. The owners were great - and we spent hours there hanging out as well.

We were a group of 6 adult family members. Most everything about Casa Cowee perfect. Jose and Channin are awesome and were available to help us with anything we needed. The snorkeling is fantastic all over out front, especially along the side of dolphin pen on side closest to house. It was very very hard leaving today.

28 Days in Paradise
My family and friends (in shifts) spent a wonderful 4 week vacation at Casa Cowee! The location in Sandy Bay is superb and if you like snorkeling, you'll really love this location. Snorkeling right out in front (especially if you cross over the reef) is some of the best I've done in a while. Kayaks for 4 people were an added bonus. If you get tired of the ocean there is a great little pool tucked away at the back where you can relax and read a book or take a refreshing dip. Some great restaurants down the beach; our favourite was Sunken Fish...try the Chickpea Curry! We bought most of our fresh fruit and veggies a two minute walk down the road at a local stand.(a few words of Spanish would be helpful but not essential) Jose (Suzanne's right hand man) arranged for some fresh fish for us and was always available to help us with whatever we needed. He is amazing and we enjoyed seeing his smiling face every day! Suzanne is lovely and was also available to help with anything we needed. There are some local dogs that bark at night and a rooster that starts crowing at 3:00 so a good set of earplugs would come in handy! Other than that, I highly recommend Casa Cowee and am sure your holiday will be a magical one that you will not forget anytime soon !

Amazing stay at Casa Cowee
My family and I just returned from our stay at Casa Cowee on Sandy Bay in Roatan. In our group was my family of four including two little boys (5 & 10) and my sister and her boyfriend. Our parents were also staying on the island at another location but spent most of their days at our place. The house was amazing! So unique and beautiful with fantastic proximity to the ocean. The layout was perfect for our group, a master bedroom and loft for us and then a separate apartment attached for my sister. During the day it would occasionally get a bit warm in the houses however the air flow was great and the ocean breezes quickly cooled you down, especially by the afternoon/evening. We were in a great location with easy access to West Bay but had everything we needed right there including a fantastic snorkeling spot. You could even sit on your deck (or dock) and watch the dolphins at neighboring Anthony’s Key. We had access to several restaurant options. Our favorite was the Sunken Fish just down the beach. We probably went there 5 times between breakfast, lunch and dinners. I’d definitely recommend booking an excursion with Channin and Jose. We went snorkeling our last full day with them and wish we’d had more time to do more in other locations. Jose was fantastic. He was available for anything we needed, whether to help us find fresh coconuts, drag our kayaks to the beach, help with groceries, etc. We were all in love with this island by the end of our trip.

First time in Roatan
Overall the property is lovely. Tastefully decorated with amazing views and a fairly secure location. The owner, Suzanne was staying in a separate house on the property and was typically available to answer any questions we had. Jose, the onsite handyman seemed like he went out of his way to get us anything we needed while we were there. We had access to two restaurants nearby on the beach which were OK for a bite, a cold beer and some people watching. Since we cooked most of our meals at the house, we didn't spend much time out. On another note, the house has pretty much anything you could think of for cooking. something that hasn't always been the case when we've rented at other properties. The house has louvers on all of the major windows allowing the breeze to come in and through the rooms. We originally thought that we wouldn't need to use the AC (only in the master bedroom) but after the first night we felt sticky and hot and started using it to sleep. Being from Texas we live in an AC controlled environment most of the time. I felt a little sad for our teen who slept in the loft in the main part of the house with no AC but he was mostly OK. We did get quite a few bites from mosquitos and/or noseeums both inside and out. I love to snorkel and found the proximity to the reef a definite bonus. There is a well travelled boat lane going through the area you have to swim across so it's best to stay aware. Jose offered us a floating indicator to help boats see us while snorkling but we didnt feel the need to use it. The only personal negatives I found had to do with the location. While the area and views are lovely, the house sits above a "public" beach area with a fair amount of traffic. ATV tours, horseback riding, and locals move across the beach below the house and can get quite noisy at times making it tough to relax. Nearly every evening the dock outside the house was visited by not so quiet children from the neighborhood. We also experienced the New Year's fireworks celebration in the local village which made it tough to sleep. I think the kids were out of school for the month of January so this could be less of an issue when they go back; same with the fireworks which I suspect are mostly going off on New Years. We could have moved off to the pool area but it was cold due to the recent rains and tucked back away from the views, kinda neat but we never swan in it while there. Enjoyed the trip and will be back to Roatan.

A slice of paradise
We just spent a week over Christmas at the property - me, my husband, my parents, and our 4 year old son. We loved our stay. The house is so interesting and beautifully crafted. My parents loved having their own small “apartment” that have them some privacy. The house was clean, spacious, comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook, which we did most nights with the inexpensive and readily available fresh seafood. The deck area overlooking the ocean and facing the sunsets cannot be beat, oh how I miss those evenings watching the sun go down over the ocean! As others have mentioned, Jose and Channin were so helpful and lovely to interact with. Jose helped us pull the kayaks to the beach and we would kayak in front of the property, snorkeling along the reef that stretches in front of the property and as far down as you can see. We did two snorkeling trips with Channin that were awesome, and my husband also did an early morning fishing trip in our last day. We also dove with blue Bahia dive shop which was a quick walk down the beach (and who also has delicious food). We were lucky enough to get to meet Suzanne the property owner also, who was In town during our stay. All in all, it was a wonderful week and the beautiful property was the best place to go back to after a day of exploring. we hope to return!

Amazing property
This property is beautiful, the grounds are amazing. Truly magical. The lodgings are a little more rustic, but we loved the adventure in it. The deck overlooking the ocean with the hammocks was our favorite spot. Jose, Channin and Kimberly really made our week enjoyable, relaxing and perfect. We definitely be back.

Month of bliss at Casa Cowee (Apr 2-30)
We were celebrating our retirements and each week brought new family/friends to the island to share in our celebration. We found Casa Cowee an AMAZING property as did all of our guests!! We enjoyed being able to snorkel in the bay in front of the property. The views from the front deck are priceless. Blue brain is a thing, and it is most relaxing to lie in the hammocks and just gaze out over the sea. The bay was busy with water taxis going to and from the dolphins next door. (The dolphins!! so fun to watch on a daily basis!) Cruise ships coming and going in the distance, the sounds of the local kids/families enjoying the pier in front of the house. (Kids are the same every where in the world, some have more than others but as a kid all you want to do is have fun.) Jose was available to provide whatever we needed throughout our stay. He shared fresh limes, mangos, bananas, and eggs from the property. YUM!! Such a gracious kid. He keeps the property neat and tidy for the guests and that is very much appreciated. The pool was a blessing and so much fun! When the day began heating up and we had no plans to explore other parts of the island, we headed to the pool for conversation and cocktails. We cooked many meals in the fully furnished kitchen but when we wanted to go out, we had three restaurants within a short walk: the Bahia, Tranquil Seas, and Anthony’s Key. All with delicious food, drink, and great camaraderie with the local staff. Also, the BEST key lime pie and lunches at the car wash, which is just a short walk away—don’t forget to stop there! We had a couple massages with our guests at Spa Baan Suerte which is located a short distance behind Casa Cowee. Very wonderful people and equally wonderful service! We packed in an amazing amount of adventure. We visited West Bay, West End, the Rum Factory, an island tour, and a sunset cruise complete with snorkeling all with the help of Channin’s excursions. We also had a fun afternoon at the Guava Grove Swim up-bar with Suzanne! It was fun to venture out and see the different sights and people of the island, but nothing was better than kicking back and enjoying Casa Cowee and the fantastic property and views that it offered. To lie in bed at night and hear the ocean breaking at the reef and hear the sounds of the island rather than being in a sealed air-conditioned resort room was wonderful. Such an experience! Thank you, Jose, Fabi, Channin, and Suzanne!! We would definitely go back!!

Amazing rental
We had a wonderful week at Casa Cowee in Sandy Bay. The directions were very clear to get to the house. Suzanne was very prompt with her communication. Jose was extremely helpful with any questions we had. The snorkeling out front of the house was spectacular. I would definitely recommend this property. My only comment is the house could use a couple more railings if you have very young children, but we all survived just fine :)

Total Relaxation and Enjoyment
We have stayed at Casa Cowee before and just had to come back to this wonderful quirky home! Casa Cowee is an older unique wood structure with the most magnificent covered porch that has unobstructed views of Sandy Bay. Waking up and having coffee on the porch was a dream. All shades of sparkling blues and turquoise everywhere. The location is ideal for getting away from the chaos. Two casual restaurants are a very short walk down the beach. We would get up, have coffee and use the kayaks to snorkel the reef in front of the house. Shallow water, abundant fish and colorful coral. The younger dolphins are brought to the bay daily for training. We were fortunate to be in the kayak on several occasions to see this up close. What a treat! Back to the house for a light lunch and reading in the hammock. In the afternoons we would head to the plunge pool for a cool off. Sunsets on the porch, right in front of you! Delightful. The transportation to/ from the airport and runs to the store/ dinner in west end were handled by Channin and his wife Kimberly in a clean, upkept van. Always friendly, kind and extremely informative about the area. He was always checking in on us. He also arranged 3 private snorkel boat trips... definitely a must! We never felt like we didn't have a car! Jose is on the property for any needs we had! He was always available and checked in frequently! When we were at the pool, he would bring fresh coconut water, what a treat! He maintains the property and everyday he could be found gardening the oasis and tidying the leaves dropped by the breezes. The property is immaculate, flowers plentiful. His attention to our needs made us want to adopt him. Always available, always checking on us, while being as unobtrusive as possible. WiFi is spotty, but that's Roatan. Gave it 4 stars for location/neighborhood only because the dock gets crowded with kids when school is out and they are very loud. We would just go to the pool and they would be gone when we returned. Nothing can be done about that situation. Covid testing for return to the states was right next door at Anthonys Key, same day results and inexpensive. If you want a modern luxury condo, Casa Cowee is not for you but if you want activities at your doorstep, comfort and a casual beach vibe this is the place! Thank you Suzanne for having us back! Thank you Channin and Jose for all your care. Will see you again soon!

What a dream at Casa Cowee!
There were 3 couples that Suzanne booked for 10 days. Even being in Rainy season and two large storms that passed close and took out 4 days of sun but during those days we dove so did not miss a beat and several local restaurants and bars at the beach. We were covid careful for the Casa Cowee staff (who were more than wonderful) we felt safe! Loved the pool almost everyday. Didn’t go out much as we felt greatful just to get there. For a break! Lots to do on your own safely. A definite must on a return so we can experience more of this stunning island. Thanks Suzanne, Jose and Channin and Kim. Great fishing trip! Channin, Yellowfin Tuna and 2 huge Mahi Mahi . Still dreaming we are there! See you soon! Charlie and thee gang.

This is been the 4th year we have been renting this property and it’s still as spectacular as the first year!! The owner Suzanne has been continually making the property more beautiful with plants and flowers and a brand new plunge pool, it’s like a little oasis in paradise. We will be back again next year 👍👍

All I can say is WOW! We have always stayed at all inclusive properties. What a waste.
Casa Cowee is the ultimate on Roatan. The views are stunning! Sunsets you don’t have to pay for! You just walk out the door!!! You don’t have to walk 15 minutes to a dock. We had a hard time deciding which deck we wanted to sit on During the day and the new pool with relaxing fountain. The pool is. Like a quiet oasis. I read two books. Had lots of fun down the beach at restaurants. Snorkeling in the very healthy reef out front we did daily with their kayaks. We also did a snorkeling tour with Channin Bodden the property manager picked up on our dock. Jose, the property care taker took care of everything for us24/7. Very impressed.
