We had a great time at the Seagrape Manor. There were six of us in the house, four adults and two children and we had a lot of room. It was very spacious and comfortable, felt like home. Everything you need is right there in the home. It was better than a hotel plus the location was great. The other two reviews nailed it. All I can say is you won't be disappointed at the Seagrape manor and I am a very picky person when it comes to staying at hotels or rental homes.. Sharlene and Sherry are awesome. Hopefully we can go back soon and hangout with the locals again. Everyone in the Bahamas are the nicest people ever. Thanks Sharlene and Sherry for everything! We really appreciate everything you did for us.

Owner response:Tina and her family were truly very "down to earth" people who took time to go into the "over the hill" areas in Nassau and meet/ hang out with the locals. We have very fond memories of their stay.....memories that will last for a very long time!!! Thank you for staying at Seagrape Manor and being such wonderful guests. I look forward to seeing all of you again really soon. Sharlene

Amazing (Home away from Home)

Sharlene and Sherry was exceptional host to my daughter, my friends and myself during our stay at Seagrape Manor. We were in the Bahamas for my friends wedding and they both were very welcoming from the time they picked us up from the airport. They even took us grocery shopping as we arrived on the day of the hurricane. The home is extremely well kept and comfortable. We also had access to Wi-Fi and internet access (for teenagers) as well as an international phone for (Canada & the US) to keep in touch with families and friends. They even provided us with a local cell phone. The pool was cleaned immediately after the hurricane so that we could still enjoy it. I strongly recommend Seagrape Manor to everyone as it is also close to everything, with my favorite being the fish fry. They even showed us some site seeing after picking us up from the airport. We all felt very safe in this beautiful home away from home during the hurricane. Seagrape Manor is my “Spot” if I should visit the Bahamas again. Thank you Camille and Livan for hooking us up with this wonderful place.

Second stay as great as the first!

This is our second stay at Seagrape Manor, and we chose to come back here instead of returning to Sandals (5-star) at Cable Beach. The home is huge and easily accomodated four people. Sherry and Sharlene are warm and very helpful if you need anything, but the self-contained unit is completely private, as well. Seagrape is fully equipped with literally everything you need (right down to portable coolers to pack a beach-lunch, a cell phone, private pool, barbecue and patio, Play Station, computer and internet, laundry, etc). The option to rent a Jeep Wrangler was great this time around and we were able to use Seagrape as our home-base while we toured around the rest of the island. Sherry and Sharlene's properties are the only ones that we would ever consider renting during our visits to New Providence, and we would not hesitate to encourage anyone else to stay here! We plan to return again!

Our stay at Seagrape Manor was delightful. We loved it. Beautifully decorated and clean. Sherry was wonderful and went out of her way to be helpful...including finding us a place to park at the Fish Fry and speeding up our service for dinner at the Anchorage. While our food was being prepared the waiter took us to the street to watch the Junkanoo parade. Loved the people of Nassau. We would certainly recommend this property to family and friends. Twin Brothers has great food, and Traveler's Rest was a good place to eat with a local band.

Seagrape Manor Is Defiantely "A Home Away From Home"

Sharlene and Sherry add a special touch to Seagrape Manor. The house is absolutely gorgeous and the pictures do not do justice. The house has everything you need and is situated in a quiet and nice area. It is a short distance from downtown and the beach. I rented the minivan and this defiantely helped out with the travelling that our family did. The pool was cleaned daily and we had access to the BBQ which was great. Sherry picked us up from the airport and we were checked into the house. Both Sharlene and Sherry gave us their cell phone numbers and told us to call if we needed anything. All rental features and descriptions are accurate. From the first email of showing interest in this property to the last day that my family and I stayed, we were treated with respect and like we were family. These two ladies are very genuine, hospitable and caring individuals. You do not find this now-a-days. Sharlene and Sherry went above and beyond their call of duty to make sure that we were satisfied staying at their property. My family and I stayed from April 14-April 19th for a wedding. Sharlene even helped me book a personal appointment that I needed to have while I was there. This was done before I arrived in Bahamas. Thank you very much Sharlene. I would defiantely recommend this property to anyone staying in Nassau. Thank you Sharlene and Sherry for being accommodating and giving us a great place to stay while on vacation. I hope to come back in the near future.

Great vacation, great accomodations, great people!

My family and I came for 10 days during what is a challenging time for us. Sharlene and Sherry were the most gracious hosts imaginable and the property was beautifully appointed and immediately comfortable. We had everything we needed or could think of and whenever we had even the smallest concern or question, they went above and beyond to accomodate us. The house is in a nice neighborhood, a short drive from the downtown area, Cable Beach and the bridge to Paradise Island. And the nearest beaches (Saunders Beach and Goodman's Bay) are lovely as well. We enjoyed the pool at the house and cooked out on the grill several nights just enjoying the lovely patio and the fresh Bahamian air. It could not have been a better vacation... unless it was longer.

A Quality Home From Home, Spotlessly Clean, Well Equipped and in a Great Position. Excellent.

My brother and I stayed at Seagrape Manor from March 2nd to 11th March 2011. Being met at Nassau airport on arrival by a smiling Sherry, one of the owners, was of great assistance and gave us peace of mind as it was our first visit to The Bahamas. Normally when travelling we would stay in high end hotels, but on this occasion we wanted to see the real Bahamas and live amongst local people, not tourists. The property suited our needs and standards exactly and was far beyond what we expected. Seagrape is rented out by the owners, Sharlene and Sherry so they go to great lengths to ensure the property wants for absolutely nothing. It was spotlessly clean, well equipped, beautifully decorated with excellent air conditioning. Location wise it is peaceful and quiet but only minutes from the white sandy beaches of Goodmans Bay and Saunders Beach. It also has easy access to the main routes for island touring and it is on the 'right' side of Nassau to avoid the daily rush hour traffic. The private pool is a great size and was maintained throughout our stay and not a leaf was missed. The local Bahamians are heart warming people and make you feel so included in the community offering unbiased advice on where to eat, what to see and where the little private sandy coves are that only the locals know about. I am so pleased we made the break from being just another number in a faceless impersonal hotel. A great experience from start to finish. I would also highly recommend you opt to use the Wrangler Jeep they have available. The rate is cheaper that any Jeep you will get from Avis or Budget and it is THE way to explore the island. Get the side panels and roof off, enjoy the sun and the fun and remember to drive on the left. ENJOY !

I stayed at Seagrape Manor from January 28th to February 4th this year. My friend and I brought my son and his girlfriend for his 21st birthday. We were so pleasantly suprised by the accomodations - the photos really do not do it justice. The house was spotless and well appointed and has just about every amenity you can think of that you would want or need on a vacation, right down to the large flat screen tv's in every room. Some of the adventures I would highly recommend are Flying Cloud Adventures catamaran and snorkeling trip on a Sunday, a day pass to Atlantis to use the waterslides, shopping downtown and in the straw market, and definately the Dolphin Experience on Blue Lagoon Island. Even though it was the end of January/beginning of February, the weather was perfect - not to hot and not too cold. A little warmer and we would have been able to make use of the pool so next time we will come a little later in the year. Finally and most important, Sharlene and Sherry were fantastic at making this vacation happen. Sharlene handled the reservations flawlessly and Sherry was so helpful and accomodating, picking us up at the airport and taking me for a shopping run and giving great recommendations - the best tip of all was renting a car as opposed to cabbing it all over the island, giving us much more freedom to roam all over the island and much less expensive. Do not hesitate to book your vacation here, we loved it!

Owner response:Michelle, I truly enjoyed having you and your group as guests of our vacation home. It was easy to accommodate you, because from the time I met you at the airport, I could tell that all of you were excited and ready to have a fun time. I remember thinking, what a great mom!...... to give such an original and generous gift of a trip to the Bahamas to her son and his girlfriend. Yes, you were afraid of driving on the "the wrong side of the road" so I more than hinted about the car....... yet, I did not want you to think that I was pushing you to rent our vehicle, but I knew that it would be more convenient for you. Thanks for the tips on places to go that you left for other guests and for treating and leaving the house as if it were your own. Sherry

This was our first time to Nassau and were very happy that we chose to stay here. The home is spacious and beautiful, and the optional jeep rental really helps make the stay more fun. We used teh house as 'home base' and went on day trips for the most part, but this could have easily been a place to hang out for a day off from all the exploring. The house looks exactly like the pictures and our expectations were exceded. In terms of activities, Atlantis was overpriced for what you get, but we loved teh Dolphin Encounter at Blue Lagoon, and teh Island Advernture tour to the Exumas was really run. Dinner at Capricios was excellent, too! City Market is near by to stock up on groceries. Overall a great stay.

Great Place for an Amazing Vacation to the Bahamas!!

My family and I had a wonderful time in the Bahamas and a large part was due to Sharlene and Sherry and the house. Sharlene and Sherry were amazing to work with and made everything easy. Sherry met us at the airport and showed us the way back. The house was even better than the pictures depicted. It was truly home away from home. It was great to get up in the morning and just go take a dip in the pool and to have a late night swim. The location was convenient to everything. Sherry provided us with lots of recommendations on where to go visit or where to eat. It was great that items were already provided in the kitchen, which was really helpful. We definitely took advantage of the grill in the backyard. Both Sharlene and Sherry were very helpful if we needed anything at anytime during the day. The phone and internet were extremely useful and definitely came in handy. This was the first VRBO that I had ever used and it was a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great vacation in the Bahamas. We hope to get back there again soon.
