‘The Blue House’ a spacious beach front home with magnificent views.

We enjoyed our trip to San Salvador and the Blue House was perfect for our stay.

Garnell (property manager) is wonderful and she also helped us with cooking our Thanksgiving turkey (her mother cooked it for us).

We enjoyed the beach! Shore dives from the back porch are lovely. Coral heads are right off the beach so bring your mask, snorkel and fins.

Clean and comfortable with plenty of room and a beautiful view.

Extra freezers for our fish (the wahoo bite was ON!!).

The marina is about a mile south of this house and we had our boat docked there.

Bring bug spray!! The mosquitos on San Sal are no joke!

We used a Thermocell on the back porch at night to keep them away.

Old Bahamian charm with Bahamian character. If you are flexible and enjoy a bit of adventure with your vacation then this island is for you.

Unfortunately, the Blue House has not recovered well from Hurricane Joaquin in October 2015. The house was not at all what we were expecting and looks as though deterioration began well before the hurricane. In all fairness, Flavia should have let us know this. We stayed away from the house all day everyday mostly because there was nothing pleasant to go back to. Sliding glass doors would not lock, much less open and close. AC and TV did not work. No place to wash feet after walking the beach. No hammock as pictured. Long black hairs in bathroom and shower. Dirty toilets. Clogged bathroom sink the entire time. Garnell tried her best to fix things for us but she could only do so much. Flavia, the owner wasn't able to help from NY but she SEEMED nice in response to our complaints, telling us to go stay at Riding Rock Resort. To say the least and be polite, this house was not well maintained and cared for.

The island people are the nicest you'll meet anywhere. The best place to eat is next to the Juice bar at Rosemary's. She makes the best conch around. And, David across the street makes a delicious conch salad! Rent a car and find all the sites on the map but beware, many are still in disarray from the hurricane and roads to Snow Bay and Pigeon Creek are either not accessible or we couldn't find. Same for Guanhini Beach Resort. The place to go at night is Riding Rock resort, but wait until May, June or July. They were closed while we were there. When you go say hi to Peaches. I would NOT recommend Club Med unless you must have a spa treatment. Day passes are 180.00 each and only include buffets and watered down drinks. The spa is run separately and the people who run it are wonderful.

Despite the condition of the house, we managed to have a good time but left a day early because we couldn't bare staying another night in a place that made us cringe. I wish this site allowed me to post pictures.

This was our second stay at The Blue House our family had another fabulous vacation. The house is spacious and offers incredible privacy. The residents of San Salvador will make you feel welcome right away.

Nous sommes resté 2 semaines en famille avec un bébé dans cette magnifique villa, la "maison bleue" est idéalement placée, à proximité des commerces, et au bord d'une magnifique plage de sable blanc. La maison est très spacieuse et magnifiquement décorée. Et que dire de cette immense terrasse, face à la magnifique mer des bahamas... Splendide!! Tout ce qui est annoncé sur le descriptif est bien réel. Nous sommes venu de France avec une correspondance par Londres et Nassau. L'endroit est idéal pour se reposer et se détendre . Les bahamiens sont formidables et ne manqueront pas de vous aider si besoin. Mention spéciale pour Miss Williams, qui s'occupe de la maison sur place, et qui à toujours été disponible et réactive quand on en avait besoin.

L'aéroport est à 2min en voiture, le club med également, si vous souhaiter profiter de leur activités ou soirées dansante. Il y a une épicerie à 100M, et le "centre ville" est à 5min en voiture. Plusieurs restaurants sont à proximités de la maison. Pour la nourriture, on trouve de tout dans les commerces.

Bref notre séjour dans cette maison à été merveilleux et nous ne manqueront pas d'y retourner dès que possible. Merci Flavia pour tous vos conseils avant notre départ et de nous faire profiter de cette magnifique maison.

The house has everything you need to enjoy time at the beach. The kitchen is well equipped. Several nice touches include a 5 gallon water dispenser, dishwasher, and washer and dryer. The house was clean with plenty of towels and nice big beach towels. The owner and manager were pleasant, honest and extra helpful. The big porch across the back is where we spent entire days, reading and alternately sunning and seeking shade. When you sit there you cannot see another house and I never saw anyone walk past. After a cocktail hour walk, the air condition comfort inside while cooking dinner and listening to your I-Pod and watching the sunset out the back is just perfect. The beach is beautiful, and the only people we ever saw were a few local families fishing early morning and at dusk. The swimming is great and we had fun snorkeling right out back of the house. We ate at Paradis several times, the whole snapper is done with flavor and perfect seasoning. Also try the conch chowder at the Riding Rock Inn, yum. There are not many places to eat and you might want to bring your favorite staples, rice, cereal, coffee, spices for cooking as the provisions at the store are limited. Fresh veggies and dairy must be purchased soon after the boat comes in (because when they are gone you have to wait until the next boat). The store owner teased us about how many yogurts we bought. We were able to get three heads of romaine lettuce, which is a real surprise in the out islands. Don't forget to check out the light house, go inside and see the marvel of the prisms that make up the light reflection. If you like solitude and turquoise water the Blue House is the place to be!
