The Seaglass Villa 1 - Quiet Luxury on the Beach, Andros Island Bahamas

See our 57-5 star reviews! This stunning, bright, beachfront villa is one of two located on this property. If you are a group of 4, please see our sister Villa just steps away called Seaglass Villa 2. Rent both units for a private, 4 person getaway. If you are seeking the ultimate luxury getaway with privacy, and super clean, comfortable accommodation than look no further, Andros Island is the closest island to Nassau and a short 13 minute flight to the San Andros Airport. We can help you coordinate travel to our property so it will be smooth and simple...don't worry about the travel details, we can help! This is one of two private villas on this beautiful beach front property. Enjoy a wonderful vacation for two or bring friends / family along for a group of 4 and book both villas. Plenty of outdoor living space to enjoy while maintaining your own privacy.

Experience your island sanctuary with breathtaking views of the crystal blue ocean and your own private beach house located directly on the beach, beautifully decorated with gorgeous Caribbean furniture, a luxurious king size bed featuring high quality linens, and plush bath towels. There are 2 private beach houses located on this property so you can travel as a couple or as a group. Only steps away from the quaint village of Nicholl's Town, imagine upon your arrival that you are greeted with drinks on ice, smooth island music and some delicious Bahamian dishes prepared especially for you. Sink into complete bliss with an on site professional massage, a cool cocktail with your loved one while sitting in your own private screened in deck or relaxing on a hammock under the majestic Casarinas....your choice, your dream.

You can enjoy TV, a stereo system and free wifi that will get you in the vacation mood while keeping you connected.
Your vacation sanctuary offers complete privacy, beautiful white sand beaches, and crystal clear water surrounding the property as it is on a point, creating the most incredible panoramic views, sun rises and ultimate relaxation. The property is located on 'Nicholl's Town Point' which is on the North East side of Andros Island. The beach heading both north and south of the property are virtually void of any buildings or people however, within walking distance (2 minutes) you will find small food huts and the local watering hole serving native dishes, drinks, and small grocery stores. We believe our point holds one of the most incredible views in the Caribbean where the ocean surrounds you on both the north and east side of the property creating a stunning panoramic view. Andros Island is the perfect holiday to bring your flip flops, sunscreen, and a great book. It is also a great place for self made activity such as going for a run on a cool crisp morning and listening to the roosters crow, meandering around the village by foot or bicycle, taking a long walk on the beach and jumping in the ocean to cool off, snorkling along one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, fish all day -deep sea or bone fish and catch dinner for the night.

LIVING AREA SET UP:
Each unit is a self contained, very clean, open concept design with lots of light. Your beach house has a private bathroom, fully stocked open concept kitchen and living area.

We have a fabulous property manager, Zona, available to ensure your stay goes off without a hitch. Zona and his wife Bernadette are available to prepare a welcome meal of traditional Bahamian fare if desired. Zona can coordinate a beach massage to kick start your vacation, and is also a licenced fishing guide who can take you bonefishing for the day if you wish. Our guests love Zona and we can guarantee he will ensure your stay is a 5/5.

ACTIVITIES:
Andros Island is full of activities to do both in and out of the water. Whether it's fishing for trophy-size fish, exploring ancient ruins, bird-watching, hunting for buried treasure, meandering through quaint coastal towns and villages, shopping for batik fabrics or simply soaking up the tropical sunshine, Andros Island has something for everyone.

BICYCLES:
Bicycles are available with your rental. Tour the areas surrounding Nicholl’s Town. We have maps and suggested itineraries. Or bike a few miles south to an inland blue hole for a fresh water swim.

FISHING:
Book a 1/2 or full day. Andros offers world class Bonefishing, reef fishing, deep sea fishing—you can do it all! You can hire a guide for a day or just cast a line off the point right on your own private beach. Andros is known as the 'Bonefish Capital of the World'.

MASSAGE:
Book an on site massage: a massage therapist will come to you, enjoy a massage on the beach or under a shady tree with a relaxing breeze

DIVING & SNORKELLING:
Andros Island has world renowned diving and fantastic reefs for snorkelling. You can dive during the day, night dives, shark dives, and one-on-one Specialty Dives any time. All of this on the Andros Barrier Reef - the 3rd largest reef system in the world! A day trip by boat can be arranged for a fee plus there is plenty of great snorkelling along the shore.

BIRDING
There are over 200 species of birds that inhabit the Bahamas--and Andros, with its vast undeveloped land, is home to many of them.

HAMMOCKING
One of our favourite activities and can soon be one of yours….

MILES OF UNTOUCHED BEACHES
Anytime is a good time to stroll along the beach. It's perfectly safe, day or night.

COLLECTING SHELLS
Being an undeveloped island, imagine the interesting finds on a leisurely walk down a mile or two of virgin beach, you can find the most beautiful shells, sea urchins, dried coral in multiple colors, and whatever the last storm blew onto shore….

RED BAYS
Basket Weaving A remote village settled by Seminole Indians and Blacks in 1821. The basket-weaving crafts practiced here are detailed and highly advanced.

Red Bays is a very different community on Andros, originally settled by the Seminole Indians from Florida. When the US was putting Indians in reservations, a group decided not to accept that 'good deal', and hopped in their little boats, high-tailing it to Andros Island. The people live in a pretty 'rough' style, and it's fascinating to see.

Andros Blue Holes Below the surface of Andros Island is a complex maze of underwater caves called blue holes. Experienced recreational divers can enter from either the ocean or island entrances and retrace the steps of the famous Jacques Cousteau.

Undeveloped Bahamian Beauty
The location of this property on a beautiful beach is perhaps the best on North Andros. The House is clean and comfortable. The Caretaker (Zona) is very helpful and knowledgeable. Nicholls Town is a beautiful little town with very friendly people and several choices for simple good places to eat and have a drink. There are adequate places nearby to purchase groceries. Our neighbor caught fish and got lobster right off of our beach almost every day. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and will be back.

Seaglass #1
A little oversold. House #1 was nice, it had a great view and access to the beach. It wasn't as private as presented, compound was shared with another party and or the owner. Beach was not exclusively private, locals could use the area. Not all promised amenities were available.

Just what the doctor ordered
I was recovering from an injury and Seaglass vila1 was just perfect. This studio apartment is beautiful and wonderfully appointed. the kitchen is so well equipped. The WIFI was good. We kayaked, walked the big beach next door ( the one in front of the house is small but great for launching the kayaks and sitting and snorkeling off of. And then there is Zona. Zona manages the property but is so much more! We went fishing with him for a day, he brought dinner over for us one night and is a wealth of information about Nicoll's Town (born and raised). He even showed us some of his favorite places. We were there for 6 nights . We rested, we were active and were restored and recovered. Thank you Francine for offering this very special private hideaway

Peaceful Gem
Truly a beautiful spot! First, there were some definite uncertainties going into this trip, this isn’t an all inclusive resort. But once you relax into the unknowns & embrace the island life, you will see that everything works out & will be ready to live the simple life. Francine was most helpful & arranged our charter flights from Nassau to Andros. When we arrived in Nassau we got a taxi the short distance to the smaller charter airport. Once there, we felt a little confused by the process but everyone was friendly & kept assuring us our pilot was on the way. After a couple hour wait (remember this is island time) our pilot (Craig) arrived & we loaded up with a few locals into a small, seemingly well worn plane and took off. What started off as a ‘what are we getting into’ quickly dissolved into exhilaration and excitement. The local pilot was skilled & was it was the smoothest & most beautiful flight I’ve had. Be sure to stop at the grocery on your way to the villa even if you aren’t sure what you want. Selection is basic but they have meat, dairy, fruit and veggies. There is a store close to the villa but it has a smaller selection. We ended up cooking most of our own meals as there weren’t many restaurants open during our visit. We did go to the Driftwood owned by Zona’s sister, food was delicious!! The local people speak English but have a heavy accent so you may find yourself asking them to repeat again. Most people were friendly & helpful! Relax & enjoy the beauty:)

Peace & Tranquility
We rented Seaglass Villa 1, which is well-represented in the pictures provided. Our goals of privacy and seclusion, on a beach, in order to completely disconnect for reading and soaking up some sun were completely met at the Seaglass Villa property. Our communication experience with Francine and with Zona were prompt and pleasant. As long as visitors understand that they are renting a private residence on a beach in a rural Bahamian town, they will not be disappointed in this property.

Fantastic trip!
We just spent 8 days on the property and didn’t want to come home. We went with another couple and had both villas. The location could not be better. We had the whole compound to ourselves and it was just amazing. Zona was absolutely fantastic! He is so helpful and he and his wife cooked us an amazing dinner our first night. He also stocked groceries and drinks so we didn’t have to worry about anything after our long trip. He took both couples bone fishing and put us on some great fish. We had a blast. We also fished from the shore at the villas and caught barred Jack there. Zona’s sister owns the Driftwood and the food was amazing. Best pulled pork sandwiches and conch chowder ever. We met some great people in Nicholls Town and rode the villa’s bikes all over town. I’d recommend One for the Road with Marilyn and The Cabin with Nikki. The location is remote and you’re on island time so flexibility is key. The only downside of the trip is the bugs were horrendous. There’s nothing the owner and Zona can do about that and they do provide bug spray. I recommend using it early and often. We felt so welcomed and the people we met were so friendly and kind. We will for sure go back, but we will stay longer next time. Thanks to Zona for making this an amazing trip for us!

Absolutely, the nicest place I’ve stayed while visiting Andros
I cannot say enough good things about this property. The location, the level of comfort, the view and the amenities are absolutely first class. The only thing better than the property, is Zona the property manager, Bernadette his wife, and Francine the property owner. The instant I had a question, or a need, it was taken care of in the friendliest and most efficient way possible. Truly a world-class, wonderful experience. 10 out of 10, five stars, I cannot wait to go back!

Great time
We very much appreciated our stay recently. Quite peaceful and relaxing area. Community is very friendly and always felt very safe. Wish there has been more info provided about local restaurants, groceries, etc. Took us a couple days to figure out where the restaurants, stores etc were and just as long to understand how they operate. Ie restaurants may not be open. Definitely want to call ahead and let them know you want to come and they will open up. All online info was a couple years out of date for things around the community. Loved the villa and the property. Would strongly recommend it.

Honeymoon
This property is exactly as pictured! Secluded, remote, romantic place to spend our honeymoon together ❤️Francine is an amazing host communicated with us the entire time upon arrival to departure. The added benefit to this place is Zona our local friend that picked us up from the airport, had our kitchen stocked with provisions we requested, & so much more!! My husband is an avid Fly Fisherman… Zona was our guide for 3 days in the mangroves & flats of this beautiful tropical paradise which made this trip even more spectacular experiencing the beauty & tranquility of Andros. Make sure if you book this villa to read all reviews & also Francine post as it is very quiet & remote if that’s what your after it’s fabulous! We stayed in Villa #1 & loved it! We hope to celebrate future anniversaries there again, making friends with Zona was the best 😎thank you Francine & Zona! CHEERS!🥂
