Beautiful home and location

Our family spent 10 days in late December at the Osprey's Nest and found it to be one of the most relaxing vacations we've ever had. Pictures do not do justice to the sophisticated furnishings and design of this house, with a large open area for gathering and lovely bedrooms and en suite baths for more private time. Down the steps and we had a gorgeous private beach and cove. Our only downside was the weather which was unusually windy for most of the time, preventing snorkeling at the lagoon and any relaxing time on the oceanside deck. We spent the days exploring Long Island and had a wonderful time. The house manager, David, was very nice and helpful. The house was exceptionally clean and well maintained, the owners very kind and communicative. A terrific vacation rental experience!

This was my second visit to what I consider the most restful, beautiful and fun location I've ever been to, and I didn't even fish this trip! My wife and I needed a quick get-away and the 3 and a half days here did the trick. I tell everyone I know about this place and am looking forward to coming back in 3 weeks to bonefish.

From our vantage point in New Jersey, the Milky Way is only a rumor. Though we both have lived our whole lives 'at the shore', neither of us have truly experienced a the perfect beach day. Never have we traveled anywhere that our 4 children (14, 12, 10 & 8) didn't chime in every 10 road-minutes with "Are we there yet?" Finding the *perfect* vacation spot for a family of 6 has proved to be an elusive fantasy. Walk around all day in a swim suit? No way. I won't dare go an hour in the morning without flipping on the computer or checking my messages on my cell. And why would I want to cook for the family while I'm on vacation anyway? All of that was true, it was our belief, until the day we found The Osprey's Nest. My husband and I woke up to a crescent moon over the cove late every night, and a breathtaking sunrise every morning. Our family will never be the same, and we can never thank you enough for sharing the beautiful serenity/adventure of this place with us. We're already planning our next "treatment". David and Mahalia (property managers) were wonderful, and for our next trip, we're taking David up on his offer to go spear fishing for spiney lobster, you bet! I think the best indication of a successful vacation for this computer-nerd mommy: when we got home, my little girl told me to always remember the playful face I had on while we were at the Nest. She said I should wear it all the time. :D Peace to you all.

Owner response:What a beautiful experience you had! So happy for your family and hope you will return to the warm embrace of this special island soon. Thank you for sharing and for giving us some of the same warm feelings. Chris & Edward

This property exceeded our expectation. It was well equipped with high-end furnishings and amenties. upon entering this villa, the view took us by surprise. The elevation made for a spectacular view of colors and we couldn't wait to get out side. They had two grocery stores fully stocked a few miles away. David the house manager was very helpful and fun. We cant wait to return soon. Kudos to the owners for a job well done.

Owner response:Thanks for the great comments =) We are pleased that you love it as we do, and happy to have you back next year!

Amazing spot , amazing home,amazing bonefishing. The location of this home is nothing short of spectacular. The secluded lagoon out front would be perfect for a family with children. I f you want a romantic get-away, a family vacation, or to fish your brains out, this place has it all! I will be back.

I had the good fortune to experience this property 5/10-5/17/2010. It truly exceeded all my expectations.The web photos simply can't capture the magnificance of the location.All aspects of the home and outdoor deck area are architectually pleasing,comfortably furnished,and functional. My only regret is that we didn't spend more time enjoying the property because of long days bonefishing which was world class! Kudos to the owners for making their Shangri La available for others to enjoy!

Owner response:So glad you enjoyed your stay and thanks for the positive feedback! You are all welcome back anytime =)

Spent a full week at the house with 3 fishing buddies. Absolutely beautiful house and beach. House is extremely comfortable with all the amenities. Great outdoor deck and beautiful protected beach. The fishing was the best bonefishing I have ever experienced (by the way I have fished almost every major Island in the Bahamas) Nothing compares to Long Island. The fish are big and plentiful. The flats are endless. Will plan to return soon and frequently. WHAT A SPOT By the way donnt miss Deans Blue Hole

Owner response:Thank you and we are glad you enjoyed your stay! The house is available year round and so are the fish so come back anytime =)
