"This home is nothing shy of AMAZING! We enjoyed our stay so much. We highly recommend doing more than one week as there is so much on the island to explore, and this house is so perfect that you’ll enjoy every moment spent at it. You get to see sunrise and sunset all from the same deck, snorkel coral reefs right in front of the house, swim/sunbathe in the nice warm pool, kayak with the provided kayaks. On top of this the caretaker is wonderful at answering any questions or concerns during your stay, and he even took us to his garden, stopped in with food he cooked, and shared all his island knowledge with us. Trust me when I say you will not want to leave! "

"House is in a great location. Directly on the beach. There were some issues that the house had. There were no pots and pans! Seems the previous renter took them with them. Julius the property manager went out and bought some new ones. The water pump went out also and Julius fixed it the same day! Julius did a great job responding to our needs. We would rent again. "

"Everything was perfect. "

"This is a great property on the most amazing beach!!! We will be back!!!"

"We had the most amazing stay! The house was superbly located on an elevation that allowed for 360 views from the wrap around veranda. Well-appointed kitchen with everything we needed for our stay. The beach is a short walk with access to explore the many reefs by snorkeling. The host was welcoming and responsive. Loved it!"

"A wonderful greeting from Donna at the airport.After getting settled in at the Sandcastle made a quick trip for groceries."

"Stephanie is a gem. She always provides an incredible environment for me to come visit. Peaceful and relaxing here. The house is a darling cottage and has everything I need. The beds are so comfortable, nice bedding and pillows! The water is beautiful and calming. Sitting on the deck anytime of day is a joy, nice shade even when’s it’s hot. The pool and the cover over it are perfect way to spend an afternoon after my long walk on a beach that I have all to myself! The water is the most beautiful color, the sunrises and sunsets are the most spectacular that you will ever see. Lots of time to be in peace, calm and solitude. 100 stars!"

"Great host. Great island. Dream vacation for those wanting an adventure in the Bahamas! This property has everything you need. Highly recommend. "

"The perfect vacation home depends on what your perfect vacation is. This was MY perfect vacation home. We wanted comfort, and seclusion and we got it! We stayed early November of 2025 and never saw more than two people out walking the beach. There are a couple other homes within view but they were empty. The deck looking out over the ocean was definitely a highlight but the inside was very nice also. The upstairs and downstairs can be rented separately but we rented both just to make sure we were alone. Also there is some snorkeling stuff in the garage (accessed from the upstairs unit and more in a closet in the downstairs unit. A couple things to be aware of. You have to buy drinking water and ice for drinks since the house water is only for bathing. Also the house is quite a drive from almost all stores and restaurants so buy plenty of supplies before going there. Spend time on google earth getting familiar with the island and where some of the stores and food places are. There are two main grocery stores and both are ok but we liked Gilberts better. And while we didnt explore lots of places to eat we loved Hidden Treasures with chef Trevor. It takes quite a while to get your food so i recommend calling your order in an hour early or take your swimsuits and swim in the calm crystal clear water right outside his backdoor while you wait. The property manager lana was great and very responsive to amy questions we had. "
