Steve and Yolanda,
I am overwhelmed with the hospitality you showed us while we were there, and I completely fell in love with the Bahamas and am so sad I am not still there! I truly wish I could have stayed longer. Your place was truly a place of paradise, you both were so welcoming, truly genuine and sweet people. I did not know what to expect coming to the Bahamas, but I met some of the most sweetest, caring, and trustworthy people. You guys took such great care of us. We truly were at ease, we felt safe, we felt taken care of (we were kind of uneasy traveling to a new place and it being just us three girls), but you guys washed all that away. The home was located in a gated community guarded by security 24/7, which made us feel very safe. The interior and exterior of the home were absolutely beautiful just like the pictures, there were no surprises when we came. The house was in the cleanest condition, which was very important to us.
I truly appreciated:
The free access to movies
The water to drink you provided for us
The refrigerator that provided crushed/cubed ice (helped us keep cool)
The washer and dryer that were so needed and useful
Oh my God, the landline phone for U.S. calls and the cell phone for local calls (we would not have survived without those two)
You guys there for whatever we needed, and
ALL the amenitities you provided for us.
We were thankful for the convenience of the grocery store located just 5 minutes walking distance from the home, which had everything we needed. I was able to go snorkeling, kayaking, jet skiing, paddle boarding, and on the banana boats, all for the first time in my life, on the most breathtaking beaches in the world. The fish fry at Arawak Cay had the most amazing conch and grouper. Our taxi driver Andrew was absolutely amazing! He was like our personal tour guide the entire trip and also became like family for us.
We are so happy that we decided on your home as our stay instead of the hotel. The two experiences don't compare. Your hospitality, our amenities, we felt like family and only had known you for a few days.
I will never, ever forget my stay in the Bahamas. I'm grateful to God for this experience. It was the best vacation of my life. It has truly changed my outlook on a lot of things in life and personally. I can not thank you enough for the opportunity you two provided me. Words can not express my appreciation. I can not wait to return!
