Our centrally located native villa will help you to create your very own vacation memories by enjoying life like a Bahamian while experiencing Nassau. Get away from the crowded hustle and bustle of commercial hotels and relax in a tranquil setting where the tropical winds provide a calming environment.
Your villa is uniquely nestled in a quiet neighborhood yet easily accessible to everything. Open the blinds and watch the dawn of each new day as the sunrise kisses the tropical trees located in the breathtaking Botanical Gardens which are literally in your backyard! Walk 25 steps from your backyard and view the Botanical Gardens' 600 species of flowering trees and shrubs. Want a shorter commute to a tropical garden? Then just step outside the front door of the villa and explore within our grounds various plant and flowers.
Ready to tour Nassau? Now, casually stroll 100 steps heading east and you will be in Fort Charlotte. Built by British in 1776, a guided tour of Fort Charlotte features a water-less moat, draw-bridge, underground passages and dungeons which recounts slavery and emancipation in The Bahamas. Alternatively, stroll 100 steps heading south and you can tour Popopstudios Centre for the Visual Arts (formerly Dillet’s Guesthouse).
The public transportation is only a 3 minutes stroll--$1 heading east takes you to the Straw Market, Downtown Nassau or Atlantis/Paradise Island or take a scenic 15 minute walk and you are in the heart of the Town. While in town visit the Queen’s staircase which was carved out of solid limestones by slaves in the late 18th century between 1793 and 1794. Alternatively, a 7 minutes ride further west of the apartment places you at Cable Beach public 18-hole golf course. Have fun at the world renowned Cable Beach Strip. There are 3 additional beaches for your absolute pleasure. For the nature lover, just 50 feet from your villa you’ll see the Ardastra Gardens, Zoo and Conservation Center which provides a sanctuary and survival center for over 300 exotic birds, mammals and reptiles. It is famous for being home to the world famous marching pink flamingos.
Ready to feast on Bahamian delicacies? A minute walk takes you to Fish Fry where you will find an array of native restaurants--serving mouthwatering native dishes—cultural music and entertainment. Afterwards, relax and unwind at the nearby Arawak Cay white sandy beach or take a short bus ride to Saunders Beach or Cable Beach.
This well-maintained, spacious and modern apartment has a fully equipped kitchen and the living and dining are designed with your comfort in mind. This 2-bedroom 1 bathroom apartment can easily be converted to a 1 bedroom/1 bathroom unit. Rest, relax, spoil and pamper yourself. Your package includes transfers from the airport, a 30-minute trip to the food store, free local phone calls and internet access.

We had a FANTASTIC time in Nassau/Bahamas and Julie couldn't have been a better hostess! The location was convenient, the villa was modest, yet very clean, and we were treated as honored guests. Julie, the owner, and Cheryl, the Cab Driver who picked us up and dropped us off, with their personal service made our stay wonderful. We arrived on Friday night, and a good portion of the island was out of power...no lights, but mostly no AC! It was HOT, and Julie personally took us to a nice local restaurant in the downtown area, where there was power, and had arranged a hotel for us if the power hadn't returned. But, thankfully, it went back on shortly after dinner and we enjoyed a comfortable night's sleep. The next day Julie again took us personally to a local market and any other store that we might have needed, giving us a nice tour of the city along the way. She really went above and beyond to make us feel great about our stay. A few tips...definitely see Arawak Cay, the local area for great food and drink, only about a 10 minute walk. It's great fun, and awesome foods like Conch salad, and amazing Grilled Grouper abound. Also, try the Cricket Club, for really well-priced meals and good, stiff drinks! Tour the Fort, it's an interesting piece of history, again not far from the Villa. We travelled with our 2 teenage daughters, and they really enjoyed the stay as well, and didn't mind the short walks everywhere. Overall we felt this was a great experience, a great value for our family, and we really enjoyed all the personal service. We will definitely stay again if Nassau is in our travel plans!

Our family has used VRBO successfully a few times now and we generally have high expectations. Julie and her network of friends and neighbors were able to exceed our hopes and plans for a great Bahamian stay. The word "close" is an adequate description for virtually anywhere you want to visit on the island. If you feel fit, the wlks are not too far. The local bus transport is excellent and around a buck each time you get off. Taxis were pricy, but not compared to a NYC or Chicago ride for 5 miles. As promised, Julie arranged for airport transportation and a visit to a local market. We were able to but everything we need for breakfasts and snacks at the apartment. There were a few bars and a market around the corner if we forgot anything. And once when it was raining, a neighbor lent us an umbrella and gave aus a ride to the restaurant we desired. The villa has everthing you need and was put to the test by our two teenagers. There was access to three beaches by walking or bus. We even found a secluded private strip up on Cable Beach where it was just our family of four and the ocean. When you go this route, you should expect that you will not be surrounded by the pristine hotel environment and lack of local culture. We love the surprises and challenges that living local can provide. If you think that is cool, you might want to look into this property. When we went, the price was about 1/2 of the fancy hotels. I think we received the better value.

My friends and I stayed here for a week and we really enjoyed the stay. we were near everything and Julie made us feel very welcome and rang during the week to see how we were getting on. If you want to experience the real bahamas and not the tourist area such as cable beach then this villa is a must, we mingled with the locals everynight in the fish fry and they were lovely!! I would definately come back here again to stay.

This townhouse had everything we needed for our stay in Nassau. The location was great, we could walk to the Fish Fry, where we had a choice of dozens of local food purveyors at reasonable prices, in about 7 minutes. The botanical gardens were in the back yard and the birds sang all day – lovely. Adastra Zoo with its adorable parrots and flamingos is a 4-minute walk. The house was very clean and everything was shipshape. The neighbours could not have been nicer, it was quiet and you can walk to downtown in a half hour or take a local bus for one dollar, so we did not need a car. The owner was helpful in every way and all in all, we felt lucky to have discovered this vacation rental. If you are interested in staing in a genuinely Bahamian neighbourhood rather than a touristy one, this is the place to stay.
