The apartment is simple but pleasant.It was clean.It has Wifi which we really liked.We rented a car on the second day and found getting around on the island easy. Carla was very nice and helpful and had arranged for a pickup from the airport.She even gave us a cell phone in case we got ourselves lost! There is not much to do in the immediate neighborhood but with the rental car we were really able to explore everything and get to where we needed to be.Access to great beaches ( cabbage and jaws were our favored) is free and easy. We feel that we got a taste of the real Bahamas and its people( who are very friendly and helpful). We also felt that we got a good deal and can recommend this place and Carla and TJ.

We had a wonderful time staying here. TJ and Carla were more than hospitable and very helpful in answering all our questions. The photo's as well as the amenities in the listing are completely accurate. The property was clean and well maintained. The neighborhood was very quiet and we did not feel unsafe at any time. The only thing that I could complain about was the well water at the apartment. Unfortunately, I found it dyed a lot of our light colored clothing orange in the washer due to the rust in the water and I've had a heck of a time trying to get the stains out. Carla may have some tips and tricks for this though cause the towels were brilliant white and all the linens smelled lovely. The island locals were also very helpful and friendly and I recommend using the buses for transportation. I would recommend this place to anyone that doesn't mind being a little ways away from nearby attractions. It took us about 20 minutes on the #16 bus to get downtown by the cruiseships. That is pretty much where all the buses stop at some point so its easy to find your way from downtown. Always ask a police officer if you're unsure of what bus to take or what street you can catch a bus, their info was always reliable. If you can make your way over to the southwest side of the island to a place called Clifton Heritage Park, I highly recommend it, the plantation ruins were so awesome, that place is the best kept secret on the island, the taxi driver didn't even know it existed! New Providence was not our favorite island of the Bahamas that we visited this trip because unfortunately there is a lot of smelly trash along the roadside and also in the ocean at the beaches we visited (except Coral Bay and Clifton Point). Overall it was a very affordable stay, we had a blast, and will visit again.

I can't say enough about this property. It is clean, safe and centrally located away from the typical pricey hotels/resort. You can get around on the local transit, but I would recommend renting a vehicle (which was arranged for us when we rented the property - perfect). Best thing of all is the thoughful and caring attitude of our hosts. They have thought of all the necessities that you will need during your stay. The place is a great value for the pirce and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy the "entire" island.

We are so lucky to have found Carla's apartment! Not only was Carla an incredibly thoughtful and helpful host, but the location also made for an enriching experience among the locals. We rode the jitney bus, drove around the island and explored the local attractions. It was a refreshing alternative to Nassau's resorts and provided ample comfort and adventure for our visit! Thanks for everything, Carla! :)

Carla and TJ are Great. Very friendly and helpful. Carla will go out of her way to make your stay great. House is a simple two bedroom with all you need. Not hard to find even though driving can be interesting in Nassau. I will stay with them anytime I am in Nassau.

Very accomodating and very affordable! If you want to see Nassau on a budget, this is the place to stay! The owner/hostess, Carla, was so nice and accomodating to all of our needs. She picked us up at the airport even after our flight had been delayed due to poor weather in the US. The apartment was well appointed, and Carla had a few extras to make our stay comfortable. The rooms are air conditioned as well. You will need to rent a car to get around as the apartment is not close enough to walk to any of the beaches. The local bakery ("The Bakery") is an absolute must. However, takes Carl's suggestion on where to get groceries (as opposed to other guests comments) because gorceries are VERY expensive. The only complaint we had was some neighbors like to yell at one another, and kept us from being able to sleep a couple of nights.

My husband and I traveled to Nassau for the Christmas/New Years holiday and Junkano.o We had a wonderful time! The apartment was spacious and clean with an enclosed yard. Wi-Fi was available, but we decided not to bring out laptops!! But if you need to stay connected, its there! We did not rent a car, but we were able to catch a bus at the corner for $1.25 each way. The bus ride to downtown Nassau takes about 30 minutes or so, depending on traffic and the number of stops.Catching the bus back from downtown was easy also. The apartment is in a residential neighborhood with friendly neighbors. We never once felt unsafe in any way. Carla picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. Upon our arrival at the apartment, we found some drinks and pastry in the fridge. Carla also helped us to find our way and went out of her way to help us in any way she could to include taking us to the grocery store! We were provided with a cell phone for the duration of our stay, in case we needed to reach Carla. We were able to call family in the states throughout the week and they were able to reach us for not a lot of money. The phone was also programmed with numbers for tour/taxi drivers along with other numbers for attractions. The phone is a prepaid phone and its easy to find cards to add minutes. We were looking for a way to vacation at a reasonable cost and this was the perfect alternative! We wanted to travel away from "tourist" traps and experience the island as the locals do. We got to see much more of this beautiful island by venturing out on our own and saw sights that one may not see if they are downtown in a hotel! We would recommend this property to everyone! The photos accurately reflect the condition/appearance of the property. If you choose to stay here, you wont be disappointed!! We chose to stay here based on reviews from past guests and my husband and I hope that our experience will help you to chose this great place to stay!!

You Want The REAL Bahamas? This Place Is Perfect!

I feel like I'm going to sound like the President of Carla/T.J./Bahamas fan club, but I have nothing but glowing, wonderful things to say about our stay. Carla not only picked us up and dropped us off at the airport, but she came and rescued us when the bus dropped my husband and I off at the wrong intersection. The property is perfect -- right around the corner from a great bakery (coconut bread/rum cake - need I say more?) and the bus picks up at the end of the driveway. It was wonderful. The apartment has everything you would need -- a cell phone with pre-programmed numbers for fishing tours, cabs, Carla, T.J., etc. The kitchen is fully stocked - so are the bedrooms, etc. Cable TV as well for when you just want to relax at night. Air conditioning. I could go on - it was wonderful for our stay. Carla was a wonderful host, and I miss her and the Bahamas haha! My husband and I had the best time on the island exploring. Beautiful sites, beautiful people....I can't wait to come back! :)

Short Stay But Memorable

Two of us stayed for only a long weekend but were made to feel as though we were the most important guests on the Island. Carla & TJ both went above and beyond. Attention to detail made it almost as good as having your own home with you on vacation. Navigating the Island with a great map but almost no road signs was a chanllenge. Upon returning to home I realized my GPS would have worked beautifully there. Daaaaaaa :) I would highly recomend this for anyone wanting to experience a local home away from home feel. Thanks again guys and come see us in Florida when you can. Martin - From Tampa Florida
