From the moment we arrived at the Lochabar Beach House, I tried to start articulating the beauty and serenity that is this place. I knew a proper “review” would be next to impossible as words just can’t describe the home and area!!! We were picked up by Ernst, just as Ron told us, and he was beyond informative, polite, and incredibly welcoming. He stopped at the local “grocery” to pick up some necessities, and pointed out lots of hot spots and secluded beaches. I must tell you, you don’t even have to leave the home at all to get an amazing vacation experience!! The house was so so so well apppinted, clean, and welcoming! I was just in awe every single day at the views of Lochabar Bay that we woke up to. We LOVED the beach and kayaking to the different areas so well described by Ron. We got dozens of awesome sand dollars and seashells to bring home. Do NOT miss the opportunity to kayak past the Lochabar hole and over to the flats and to “Hells Gate”. Those flats are INDESCRIBABLY beautiful!!! My husband and children snorkeled for hours and hours every single day. The clear, warm, turquoise waters go as far as the eye can see. It is MAGNIFICENT!! Do yourself a favor and go to the private beach that Ernst shows you how to get to, it was breathtaking. We also spent 2 days at Deans Blue Hole and essentially had it to ourselves the first day. My kids and husband LOVED jumping off the cliff. (Be CAREFUL climbing up there!) we also enjoyed 2 meals and evenings at Rowdy Boys down by the Marina. We booked a full day boat tour with Frances and his son, Charlie from the “Everything Under The Sun” store and had the BEST day fishing, snorkeling, touring, swimming with and feeding the pigs, and more. They were beyond hospitable and just amazing, accommodating guides. Plus they cleaned all of the fish we caught and we took it home and cooked it up for dinner!! I really could go on for days about this trip, it was such a very special time for our family. Our kids (age 7 and 9) were so entertained by the games and puzzles Ron has stocked at the house. We bonded in such a needed, unplugged way! This will definitely become a regular vacation spot for us. I could spend months here. We thank Ron, Ernst, Nancy and everyone on the island for everything!! We can’t WAIT to come back.
