  We rented this condo in Jan 2013 for two families (8 people total). The condo is wonderful with high foot 10+ ceilings, very well maintained, a master bed with french door few yards from the ocean and a huge living room and kitcen also with french doors opening up to patio that faces the ocean. There are two other bedrooms each with their own baths. There is a little lawn a step down from the patio on the few feet walk towards the ocean and coconut trees in the yard. The condo upkeep is great. The beach is a 2 min walk towards the right. We had night dinners in the lawns that overlooked the ocean. Snorkelling is available right in front of the condo and the reef is about 200ft (horizontally) into the ocean. Be carefull, if you venture out too far into the ocean...beyond 300 ft horizontal into the ocean, it can drop steep. I would recommend experienced adult supervision when snorkelling. We saw some brain coral, crabs, and plenty of fish. There is a crab guy who comes out and dives for crabs early morning right in front of the condo so you can get some fresh crab legs from him like we did, otherwise there is a fishermen marker right across butlers grocery about 10 min drive where you can get fresh fish and conch. The condo is stocked with beach toys, 2 beach boards, floaties etc for kids and a big hammok that you can put out on the lawn and enjoy the ocean. We rented Cooper taxi for the time we were there and service was excellent and affordable and helped us tour the whole island, with one day each at deadman reef (snorkelling), caves and diamond beach (east side of island), port lucaya market place, Shark feeding restaurant etc etc. and was also available on call all day if our program changes.All in all the condo was excellent and we felt like we were at home on the ocean!

  First off, I don't normally complete surveys but I find it very helpful to read other reviews in selecting a property so here goes. This is our first experience using VRBO and we couldn't be happier! We found the condo to be centrally located and as described on the website. The owners were very helpful recommending restaurants, boat captains, taxi service, etc. This is our third trip to Freeport and having a condo was so much nicer than a hotel room. There were six of us so having three bedrooms and three bathrooms made everyone comfortable. The snorkeling right of the beach was great and there are a ton of great places down at Port Lucaya. Everyone is friendly and happy to help out whenever they can. Freeport is our favorite family vacation spot. (Our kids are 18 and 20.) Even though the condo is centrally located, I would recommend a rental car if you plan to get out and do some exploring. We rented a car but also used the local taxis and found them to be fair and honest with their pricing. Our only observation is that getting to the beach is a little tricky getting over the rocks. It might be hard on a family with small children but the other conveniences more than make up for that. I would highly recommend this condo and the owners; both are great.

  Fred and Sue's condo could not have been better! The condo was big and comfortable and well furnished! The beach in front of the condo was perfect (and easily one of the best on the island). The pool of clean and refreshing. We had the pleasure of meeting Fred while we were there and he was very nice, helpful, and informative! We would definitely recommend this condo to our friends and hope to stay there again soon!

  Sue and Fred's place in the Bahamas has everything you need to feel like you are at home. But I sure wish I had a backyard like they do. How about waking up and drinking your coffee overlooking the ocean or seeing a beautiful sunset sitting on the back porch with your cocktails in the evening. We really loved this security gated condo with all the amenities you need to be comfortable. The condo is spacious, clean with a wonderful view of the ocean. We felt like we had our own private beach which had a very unique rocky setting directly in the front of the condo and an expansive white sand beach to the right of the condo. Sue and Fred are wonderful to deal with and gave us a lot of information to make the trip more enjoyable. I think it is best to do the car rental thing to be able to shop, dine out or be adventurous and see the island as you please. There are not a lot of shops or restaurants close by so it is best to rent a car. Sue and Fred have put a great list together of fun places to see and good places to eat while on your visit. Be prepared to pay island prices for groceries and beer. We liked Butler's grocery store the best. We really enjoyed grilling out in the evening. Go to the Lucayan Straw Market for some fun shopping. The Gold Beach is outstandingly beautiful and only 40 minutes away from the condo. My family loved our stay at Sue and Fred's condo and would certaily go back again. Thanks Sue and Fred!

  Condo was exactly as described. Perfect for the 50th birthday party we planned with 2 other couples. Weather was sunny and 80 degrees. Condo has everything...beach towels, chairs, etc. The only "downfall" is that because the condo is a bit secluded, there is really nothing within walking distance. Rose Mary was wonderful, taking us to grocery, liquor store, etc. But plan accordingly to cut down on wasted trips. Would not rent a car here..drive on left side and roadways are a little crazy. Susan, the owner, is a sweetheart and will answer any questions you have. All in all, a perfect quick long weekend getaway!

  The first time I saw the condo I was VERYpleased. It is beautiful and well maintained. The view is incredible and right on the beach. The kitchen is well appointed and the master bedroom and bath are beautiful and the jacuzzi is wonderful.The grounds and the pool are lovely. Fred and Sue are wonderful. They answered all my questions quickly and truthfully. The condo is more than expected! Don't hesitate to rent this unit. Sue and Fred will take care of all the details... all you need is a beach towel! I have rented this condo two times and will come back again and again! Thank you Fred and Sue for a wonderful experience.....

  We (two young couples) travelled along U.S. east coast and arrived quite exhausted at our last destination of our journey which was Grand Bahama. First time we entered the condo my friends starrted jumping and screaming because it was so beautiful: so much room for the four of us, nicely furnished, well equipped and maintained and moreover with an astonishing view at the sea! It was the best place for us to relaxe and enjoy the island. We nearly spent all our time either at our beautiful beach, where we were almost always alone, or on our comfortable porch. There are no restaurants or suitable supermarkets in walking distance - however, this was not a bigger problem for us, since we took a taxi to a large supermarket and by the way avoided driving on the left. One day we rented jet skies and had a terrific time! We can strongly recommend that condo for everyone, friends or families, who wants to enjoy a relaxing time in a beautiful surrounding.

  I'd like to start off by thanking both Fred and Sue for sharing their beautiful Condo-they've been so helpfull from the beginning to the end of our vacation. This place was so private, the Condo is so spacious and the beach was breathtaking-especailly at low tide, the best part...we had it all to ourselves! If you are looking for a relaxing and peacefull vacation, I would defenitly recommend staying here. We had dinner out on the porch (BBQ) almost every night - very convinient being at ground level was just perfect for us with the kids. Thanks again Fred and Sue. We look forward to coming back soon. Real Paradise!

  My family just returned from 9 days on Grand Bahama Island at Port of Call #2. It was perfect for our family of 8. The kitchen is enormous and having a washer & dryer is definitely a plus when you are traveling with four kids. Being in a gated community gave us a feeling of security with the grandkids. The beach was close, the water beautiful and the coral reef within easy swimming was gorgeous. We saw lobster, octopus, spotted eel, starfish and many fish on the reef. We had a boat and enjoyed diving and the most amazing snorkeling I've seen anywhere, but it was great having a reef we could get too right from shore. The best meal we had was at Pisces in Port Lucaya. Breakfast at Le Med was pretty awesome, too. I would definitely recommend this vacation rental. It was clean, well maintained and had lots of extras such as beach towels, chairs & toys. Having a large covered patio with a barbecue grill was a plus, too. Thank you, Fred & Sue, for sharing your vacation home with us!

  My husband, mom, daughter and son-in-law spent 5 full days in this delightful, well-appointed condo. The gorgeous weather was only surpassed by the breath-taking views of the navy/seagreen/turquoise waters. The peaceful sandy beach, the friendly people we met, and the spacious condo made for a memorable vacation. This intimate gated community was perfect for reading, relaxing, snorkeling, and grilling on the large beachfront porch. We definitley recommend this unit for those who want to unwind. liz
