Probably best family vacation we've ever had. Great house with beautiful views and long sandy beach right in front of the house. Short walk to Nipper's. So fun. Would do it again in a minute!

Watch Hill Was Wonderful

My wife, two daughters and I stayed at Watch Hill in June 2011 and we had a wonderful time. It is a charming house with fantastic views of the ocean and beach, which are spectacular. The house is attractively decorated, well equipped, and conveniently located. This was our second visit to Guana Cay and third trip to the Abacos. Watch Hill was easily the nicest house we have rented. We also highly recommend using Troy and Maria Albury at Dive Guana (right around the corner) when renting golf carts and boats, which are two important ingredients for maximizing your enjoyment of Guana.

Perfect Beach House

We stayed at Watch Hill in May 2010. There were 3 couples on the trip and we could not have had a better time. The house was perfect and Gina, the key holder/care taker, could not have been better. Guana is a great place to visit if you're looking to relax and get away from everything.

Favorite Island Rental

Watch Hill is by far our favorite rental property on Guana Cay! We are frequent visitors to the island and find this property to be the most convenient location with the most incredible ocean views. The house itself is a perfect design for families or couples, with each having separate baths and balconies overlooking the ocean. The linens are all provided and the decor is a bright cottage style with an island theme. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly need to prepare a wonderful island meal of fresh fish or lobster. The best feature of this lovely home is the large deck overlooking miles of beautiful sandy beach and coral reefs. The views from this vantage point are everchanging, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. The beach itself, is never crowded and reefs are located directly in front of the property for snorkeling or diving. Our most recent visit to Watch Hill was in July of 2010, which provided a wonderful week of island hopping with our rental boat and successful charter fishing with one of the local fisherman. The islands are beautiful and there is always something fun to do! Over the past 8 years we have introduced many of our friends and family to the beauty of the Abaco Islands. We chose Watch Hill as the site for our honeymoon trip several years ago and have continued our visits ever since. We recommend this property highly and plan to return.

Great House!

My family spent one week in July 2010 at Watch Hill. This was our third trip to Guana and was by far the nicest place we have stayed. The house is immaculate and everything works. The house is right on the beach and just a short ride into town. The most appealing aspect of our stay was the generator that would automatically come on when the power went out. I would not stay at a property without one. Watch Hill gets 5 stars and we plan to return.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, romantic getaway.
A piece of Paradise!

This is the perfect romantic getaway (but also great for families!)! The house is right on the ocean and the ocean breezes and sunrises were breathtaking. The description is accurate and the views are even more beautiful than the photos. The house is immaculate (I am a fussbudget!) and the keyholder was friendly and always there to help. The island people were all so welcoming and friendly--I never experienced such a wonderful place. I highly recommend Watch Hill--you will have a chance to experience paradise! We already have plans to go back next year!
