Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
We first visited this property in 1993. We loved it from our first trip and visited every year until purchasing the home and moving to the island in 2003. We are constantly updating the home and property to improve our guests' experience. We hope to share this wonderful home in paradise with you.
Why the Owner Chose Kemp's Bay
South Andros Island is one of the most pristine natural settings in the world. There is a wealth of beauty on the island, the beaches and the underwater world. We are scuba divers and operate Andros Diving, the premier dive operation on South Andros Island. We love the friendly people, the privacy and the natural charm of the island. Kemp's Bay is home to the nicest beach on the island and one of the nicest white sand beaches in the Caribbean. Our home is the most private and secluded property on the island and is located in the best setting along the finest beach.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The most unique feature is the fact that you have a 4 mile white sand beach at your doorstep and will not probably see another soul on the beach during your stay. The powdery white sand doesn't get hot and feels great on your feet. The ocean in front of the property has a sandy bottom and the warm water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The spacious open floor plan allows fresh ocean breezes to pass through and also features world class ocean views.

Relaxed House & Great Beach near Great Bonefishing
Guest: Dan

Date of Stay: 11/12/09
Review Submitted: 02/20/11
I have stayed here twice, once with my family and once with a fishing buddy. It is a great place and we will be back again. The house is on a very nice beach with good swimming and good beach walking and relaxing. The house is informal with an open format with two bedrooms and some open areas that can sleep a number more people. Great place to relax, with as much or little agenda as you like. The owners live in an attached "apartment" and strike a great balance between being available and helpful and letting the guests have their own vacation. A plus is that the owner, Jesse, has a great relationship with the local guides, pilots, cooks, taxi drivers etc, all of which can help optimize a trip. This is an ideal place to consider if you are interested in spending time on the beach and/or taking advantage of what South Andros has to offer--mainly bone fishing, blue water fishing, diving/snorkeling, and the outdoors including the beach and blue holes. Bone fishing on the island is phenomenal and excellent independent guides can be arranged in advance. The house works equally well if you want to bone fish some or all the days of a visit. Jesse is a dive instructor and he and Chelsea did a great job teaching our children to dive during the course of a week. It is important to understand the main appeal of S Andros is the out of doors, and this is not the place for someone looking for a variety of social activities. There is restaurant about a mile from the house which serves good local fare. Groceries on the island are basic so bringing some items (Jesse can advise in advance) is worthwhile.

When my wife and I were looking for a new beach front vacation we discovered the Andros Beach Club after a web-search. If you have been put off from traveling to the Bahamas because you didn't want the Nassau "scene" then the Beach Club might be what you're looking for..it was for us! The Beach House is a comfortable, funky get away with complete privacy and a wonderful beach. Jesse and Chelsea are greats hosts who will do everything to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. Fishing: Just have Rogee take you to "the bouy". The best Mahi fishing I have ever experienced! Tuna season is supposed to be even better--wow. Snorkeling. Very good. The water visability was exceptional, thoughthe water temp. was about 5 degrees cooler than I am used to in the Caribbean. Dining..Try Elanor's. Call ahead during the early aftenoon and have her make up some cracked conch and splurge with a home-made cheese cake that rivals anything I've had. Groceries. The Sea View is the best provisioned of the small markets that dot the island. The fresh baked bread is fantastic and is available once a week. Bugs. What bugs? Not a bite. Hospitality. Here is where Jesse, Chelsea and the entire South Andros community really shines. I have never encountered the level of hospitality as I have experienced on South Andros. During our stay I needed a piece of electronic equipment for my "Ham Radio" station that I brought with me. Initially I thought I would need to fly back to Nassau to pick up what I needed. Jesse arranged to have an acquaintance pick up what I needed and deliver it to the supply boat in time for me to recieve it within 24 hours. This saved me time and the ticket back to Nassau. These were total strangers helping me out. Fantastic. Try that on some mega-resort. I don't think so. Are we going back? You bet.

A Perfect Getaway

A perfect get away. Always looking for a unique way to travel, my fiancé and I finally decided to ditch the hostels and overnight buses, and to lie around on the beach. The Andros Beach Club, run by Jesse and Chelsea, is perfect for those looking to avoid the big, loud and ubiquitous resorts of the Caribbean. The house is situated on a amazing white-sand beach with seemingly no neighbors. The accommodations are incredibly comfortable and clean. Participating in an all inclusive package meant that all we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves. Mary – an extremely pleasant woman and a great cook of Bahamian cuisine more than satisfies even those with the biggest of appetites (i.e. me). My personal favorite was cracked conch. Chelsea will sure spoil you with homemade cookies , banana bread, and many more awesome manifestations of her culinary genius. With the all inclusive experience all you have to do is ask and you shall receive. You wake up every morning looking at the beach and deciding how to occupy your time. Activities include: fishing, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling to mind-boggling blue holes teeming with fish, volleyball, badminton, swimming in frighteningly clear water, or just laying on your private beach. Jesse is a scuba diving instructor, and without planning to ahead of time, my girlfriend and I got our open water certification. The individual attention of Jesse, the great dive sites, and the ease with which everything was arranged, made this a perfect place to learn to dive. Are we coming back? – Do you really have to ask?

Best Vacation of All Time

Review Submitted: 02/20/11
We came to be in South Andros because my wife was the top bidder during a live auction, on a special vacation package to the Andros Beach Club in the Bahamas. The charity benefited but we were the real winners. Five days of seclusion on a private beach property that you have to see to believe actually exists. We saw two people all week on the beach, and they were almost a quarter mile away. You come to Andros for privacy and seclusion. Not that our home state of Vermont isn't secluded and at times private. But we don't have crystal blue water and white sandy beaches...or conch. It was easily the most relaxing vacation I ever experienced. All day on the beach, swimming, kayaking and snorkeling and then family dinners on the screened porch where the family actually sat long after the meals to discuss the days events. If you have a stressful job, and who doesn't, you know it takes some time to decompress. At Andros its almost immediate...and that's great because it gives you even more time to relax! Its a perfect ten. Oh..and a perfect tan!

Review Submitted: 02/20/11
We were at Andros Beach Club June 30 - July 5. This is our second trip to South Andros and we call it our piece of paradise! We went snorkeling on the beach from the house and found a total of 450 sanddollars, it was amazing, the teenagers said it was like looking for easter eggs. We spent every morning on the porch overlooking the ocean and napped in the hammock on the porch every afternoon. The evenings were spent up top on the sundeck looking at amazing stars we didn't know existed. We have seen some of the most gorgeous underwater life on our snorkeling adventures and have caught some tremendous size tuna on our fishing excursions. There is no place like South Andros if you are looking to relax and enjoy what nature has to offer! We have made some wonderful friends on the island and will definitely be back.

What An Amazing Place

Review Submitted: 02/20/11
I had the absolute pleasure of staying at the Andros Beach Club for the last three weeks of February 2009. Jesse and Chelsea couldn't have been better hosts if they tried, yet they still did! We even enjoyed every minute of playing with their dogs, and still miss them. The house is great, especially considering you are in the middle of unspoiled, and what almost feels like uncharted, beauty. The beach is gigantic and you can walk for an hour and still have miles to go. Even on the one day I didn't scuba dive I took one of their Kayaks out to the reef and speared lobster for dinner. Jesse owns the house and is partnered with a captain named Roggie. I couldn't say enough about his skill and friendly demeanor as a charter operator. We caught so much Mahi and Wahoo we were giving it away, literally. His boat is fantastic and with Jesse as a dive guide you can't go wrong. Roggie actually had Tiger Woods out on his boat a little while back if that tells you anything. The one day it was too rough to go to sea for diving I had the distinct pleasure of diving an in-land blue hole called El Dorado thanks to Jesse's knowledge of the island. After hundreds of dives all over the Carribean it was the first jaw-dropper I have experienced in quite a while because of the abundance of dives I have done. It is not to be missed by any card-carrying dive junkie. If you want room service, screaming children and buffet dining South Andros is not the place for you. If you're after unspoiled reef diving, spear fishing, deep-sea fishing, reef fishing, bone fishing, cave diving, and generally exploring look no further... This is the place for you...

My husband and I have been to this lovely Andros Beach Club three times, and are planning our fourth visit next winter. We love the different seasons, as the water never changes, however other things do. In the winter, the sky is clearer and not as many clouds. The diving is great any time of the year, as well as the snorkeling. We enjoyed our latest visit in March 2006. It was perfect, the water was nice, the sun hot, but not biting, and we could walk for miles on the beach. You can see the crabs take their nocturnal trip to the sea almost any time of the year, and it is wonderful to watch. South Andros has it's own charm, being a very unspoiled place to visit. There are plenty of birds, flowers, and there is an abundance of local fish any time of the year. We enjoy biking, hiking to the blue hole on land as well as diving into them in the sea. I don't think that I have ever had such a relaxing vacation as I have in South Andros. However, there is really no shopping, other than for food and sundries and this keeps the crowds away. The cruise ships can't dock here, so that is a plus, as it keeps everything at bay and in tact. You do see ships going north and south out in the horizon. We love the beautiful beaches, the warm and friendly people, and would come back again and again. I hope that these pictures show the love we have of South Andros Island, Bahamas.

Andros Beach Club is a real getaway. Totally unplugged (although there is internet and Direct TV if you want it), which gives you time to really enjoy the beauty of the island. One of the best beaches I have been to- great for running, swimming, snorkeling, and bonefishing. Jesse and Chelsea are great hosts- there when you need them, and they have great connections on the island to get you what you need and want. Duke and Riley (their dogs) were very entertaining and provide companionship on beach walks! The local residents are amazingly friendly and helpful.
