World Class Property & Owner
Usually not the type to write reviews, but compelled to do so for this Owner & Property. We are seasoned renters of Luxury and 5* properties. Villa Tatutina is in a class of its own. Online photos do not come close to what the Villa and grounds actually are. From the level of thought in designing the amazing property, detail, workmanship, quality of furnishings, professional layout and landscaping, to the amenities and location, all amazing. Bren the Owner is a class act and was genuinely a joy to engage with. Helpful, kind and resourceful beyond expectation and explanation. Willy, the Manager, our "go to guy" was so helpful throughout our two week stay. Our family all left feeling like we made new friends. Too many examples to share, but both Bren & Willy came through in so many ways from transportation, on-site assistance, recommendations for island hopping, boat rentals, deep sea fishing, etc. Each Villa is so amazing, offering our entire family privacy and "alone time" in high quality accommodations. Outdoor kitchen by pool and water simply spectacular with ice maker, fridge, Viking grill, overhead exhaust, dishwasher and music! So many areas for relaxing you have to see it to believe it, words just can't describe it. If you are boaters, the Villa is also set up from small crafts to very large with the Villa having its own docks and full service stations. Getting to and from airport super easy, 10 minute taxi and about $25 for full size van. Marsh Harbour area marinas, restaurants/bars super casual, good food, great drinks and about a 15 minute walk from Villa or not even a 5 minute drive. We used A&P car rental and had a van delivered to the Villa with Bren's assistance. Way to go once you get to understand the airports restrictions and rental agencies locations. Made a trip out to Treasure Cay area, beachside Coco Beach Bar & Grill has great set up. Good food and drinks. Investigate online for beach as they charge nominal fees for chairs and thatched covered tables. Definitely rent a boat (Blue Wave was our choice but know the fuel is $5 a gal and oil $65/gal) and do some Cay exploring. No Name Cay with the pigs running around was crazy fun. Abacos is so laid back. Never been prior, but would absolutely return. When that happens, we will be at no other place but Villa Tatutina. Amazing. Thanks Bren!
This is it! A truly awesome private resort!
Wow!
One is never sure of what to expect when booking any private vacation Villa. We hope to find an accommodation that looks at least pretty close in person to what pictures are posted online.
After exhaustive online research, I decided that the Villa Tatutina also seemed to fit in with our own luxurious vacation home venue ideas. With fingers crossed, I secured the week, and I set out to "fill in" the rest of the details for excursions, boat rentals, and the like.
From the very start, Villa Tatutina's gracious owner, Ms. Bren Barlow, proved to be an invaluable asset for our vacation's coordination process. Need a boat rental?; no problem, she will help with suggestions and contact information. A rental car? She helps not only get things set up, but she actually has the vehicle delivered to the villa in advance, and takes care of handling the paperwork! How about a private butler who can help set up an amazing private chef...or a private musician group? No problem, she knows the perfect person! Need a talented masseuse, or an expert local guide for offshore or inshore fishing? Yep, her recommended privately sourced butler can help with that too!
The truth is that the online pictures do not do the Villa justice at all! The Villa and grounds, the overall ambiance and convenient design, the breathtaking landscaping and the truly unexpected attention to every detail....each are evident with every turn of the head. The pool and pavilions are truly large, luxuriously appointed, ideally sized for a large group....and the overall resort like "feel" of the architecture is uniquely inspired.
The Abaco islands themselves offer such a unique experience with nature's beauty...the island's reputation for amazing bone fishing, deep sea fishing, reef diving, sailing, beach combing...all of it is well earned. We swam with and even fed small sharks, gentle stingrays, hungry sea turtles...and even fed swimming pigs by hand!
We all agreed the best parts of each day involved coming "home" to Bren's amazing Villa Tatutina; splashing around the pool, dining at the summer kitchen pavilion, gathering around the leisure room at night, and falling into the comfort of luxury linens at the end of the evening. Even the ever present breezes made us wish we lived there full time, in "paradise found".
We found that the Villa price as charged was more fair than anywhere else we have yet stayed. What a vacation, and what a value!!
Great Experience
The property was excellent and the owner, Bren, is a fantastic lady. Anything we needed was taken care of and done with a smile. The beds, bathrooms, and living areas are perfect. We cooked a lot and the kitchen more than exceeded our expectations. This property is especially great if you have a boat. You can get gas just two docks over. Loading and unloading couldn't have been more convienent. We caught more fish than we could eat so Bren took us to a local pastor who is helping those who have very little and we gave the pastor what we had.
Our wedding would not have been possible without Bren and Tatutina
I've been going to the Abacos for a very long time. I never even considered having our wedding anywhere else.
When looking at places for the main family to stay, we found Villa Tatutina. The ability to come together when we wanted in the main house, pool, or dock but also importantly tuck away to our own privacy when needed, could not have been more perfect.
Our request of Bren was above and beyond normal guests for the week- we asked if we could throw our rehearsal dinner there as well. She was more than helpful and made sure everything was PERFECT at all times. Throughout the week, there was nothing that she didn't have ready with a smile.
I honestly can't say enough nice things after spending over a week there. Thank you, Bren. We couldn't have pulled it off without you.

Amazing Experience
We had two families staying at Villa Tatutina for a wedding along with numerous friends staying close by for 10 days and it could not have been a nicer experience. Bren and Willy were more than accommodating of our every need. We had the rehearsal dinner for 80 guests by the pool and it was truly magical.
As a boating group, we had rental boats from Blue Water and traveled to multiple adjacent islands enjoying the entire Bahamas experience.
Thank you Bren for your assistance when needed during our stay.
Fantastic way to bring in 2017
We took our family of 8 to Villa Tatutina the day after Christmas for one of the most fun weeks we have spent anywhere. The Villa is amazingly beautiful both inside and out. Nothing is left out. The landscaping is absolutely top notch and the layout and interior spaces are beautiful and immaculate. We took our boat and the dock was first rate as well. Marsh Harbour provides a great view of life in the Bahamas without a feeling of over commercialization. The owner was there, but totally unobtrusive. In fact we had to encourage her to spend time with us. She provided terrific insights into the island and surrounding areas for us to explore and enjoy. We can't wait to go back!
