Sandy Bay

Sandy Bay sits along the calm leeward coast between West End and the airport, a more residential and established area home to the Roatán Institute for Marine Sciences, Anthony's Key Resort, and Carambola Botanical Gardens. It attracts expatriate families and retirees who want reef access and a community feel without West Bay's resort intensity, making it a steady long-term and monthly-rental market. Single-family homes perform well here, offering reliable appreciation and dependable long-term tenancy from permanent residents. Homes typically range from US$300,000 to US$700,000, with ocean-view lots and villas at the upper end. Yields are more modest than the beach-rental zones at roughly 5-7% on long-term lets, but vacancy risk is lower and management is simpler for owners seeking stability over peak-season churn.
