We have traveled a good bit and stayed in some great places and Villa Tatutina is one of the best experiences we have ever had. We just returned from 7 great days at Villa Tatutina. We had 8 adults. It was outstanding. The experience was great. It was better than it looked on the web pages and that is an accomplishment. It is like having your own resort. Spacious grounds, impeccable landscaping, unique architecture, extremely tasteful - elegant - comfortable furnishings and every amenity you could imagine. There are 2 + of everything you need from the kitchen to the dock. Every visual space was thought out and perfected, everywhere you were on the property you thought - how nice, how well done. We know the Abaco’s and have visited there 4 times. This was a great experience. We loved the Villa and the location in March Harbour. We had all the privacy we wanted and the conveniences of access to necessities and a central location for going north to Treasure Cay and Green Turtle or south to Little Harbour for day trips. The gathering building worked great - it gave us all a place to party and dine in style and since our living quarters were in separate buildings we controlled our privacy. We all liked that a lot. The gathering building is just a delight too because it is pretty, spacious, and has a gourmet kitchen and the audio / video is second to none... the karaoke set up is fantastic with all the music you could possibly ask for ... it is so good it even makes people like me who are not fans of karaoke jump in and have fun with everyone else... it was a really fun way to wind down the day and evening. The equipment being so good was the key. The master suite / building was simply amazing... you will be overwhelmed. Every detail is there and nothing overlooked. From the private kitchen, and entertainment areas to the massive bath with the all glass shower to the bedroom everything was perfect. The other quarters and suites are great too everyone loved the accommodations. The pool area is very well done too. Extremely nice pool with a great view of Marsh Harbour and it is accompanied by an outdoor dining area and a full kitchen with Ice Maker and refrigerators. Every evening we had cocktails and hors d’oeuvres out there in the Bahamian breeze looking over the beautiful pool, landscaping and Marsh Harbour. This was just a great time. We also had Chef Terrell come and cook for us. Several evenings he did poolside appetizers and then the big dinners in the Ga

Villa Tututina is truly a slice of paradise

Villa Tututina is truly a slice of paradise. The tropical gardens are breathtaking and well maintained. The villas are beautiful and equipped with everything you might possibly need. The view of the harbor and sunsets are spectacular. The outdoor gazebo and main villa are perfect for all guests to come together and have some fun. It feels like you are on a private island, however there are great restaurants and grocery nearby. The owners John and Donna are awesome and helpful. It was especially nice when they took us out snorkling and island hoping (going to Nippers is a must). We also enjoyed fishing off the dock. We look forward to going back to Villa Tatutina and would highly recommend it for a vacation.

One week back in the States and we want to go back to paradise. Our stay at the Villa was a week of fun, sun, and relaxation. From sunbathing, to fishing to snorkeling, to island hopping, what a time we had. The Villa was as beautiful outside as it was inside. The landscaping was truely a masterpiece to behold, with incredible foilage filled walking paths and different sights at every turn. John and Donna were the perfect hosts, providing us with everything required, including boating excursions, snorkeling adventures, and secrets of the Islands. Did I say we want to go back....

We vacationed at the Villa for 8 days in early November with 10 of are very good friends. The hosts, John and Donna, were truly accommodating, friendly and made us all feel as this was our home for the week. We feel we have met two great friends. The grounds are breathtaking and meticulously manicured. The view was spectacular. This is a must destination for a family or an intimate group of friends. From boat excursions, snorkeling our just relaxation, nothing can be better.

Well, we're back to reality after a truly fantastic week at Villa Tatutina. The entire property is even more beautiful than we had anticipated. The attention to detail, the awesome view, and all of the amenities puts this site highest on our list of vacation destinations. John and Donna were excellent hosts, so gracious and always helpful. The boat trips with our hosts at the helm were incredible and quite memorable. The outdoor kitchen next to the pool made that location our favorite spot. We grilled at will, and enjoyed the pool with music in the background, the beautiful sun above, and a subtle day long breeze that kept the tempatures perfect. This is a memorable trip, and one we would recommend in a heart beat. Our special thanks to our wonderful friends that joined us for the week, and thank you to John and Donna for an absolutely fantastic week.

My family and I had the oppotunity to stay at the Villa Tatutina in March of 2009. We were so impressed with the accomodations, everything was first class. The owners provided us with outstanding meals and entertainment that we will always remember. If you or a group of you are looking to stay anywhere in the area, this is the best there is. Thank you for a GREAT vacation! Mike & Ally Erpelding

We stayed at Villa Tatutina for 8 days in November 2008. It was relaxing, peaceful, and thoroughly enjoyable. The Grounds and Gardens are spectacular and the view across the harbor is magnificent. I would recommend this Villa to anyone who enjoys beauty and peaceful surroundings.
