KettleStone Luxury Villa - Unique Private Oceanfront with Seaside Pool & Dock

Kettlestone is your own private all inclusive five star resort. It is the opposite of Atlantis on Nassau. The pictures do not do Kettlestone justice. It is very pristine and the view is spectacular. I think it might be the nicest home on the island. It sleeps more than I expected for a three bedroom and wish I had allowed my teenagers to bring friends.

Mike, the owner, organized everything for us in advance to perfection, including meals, fishing charters, and a plane charter from Nassau. He called me several times leading up to our visit to make sure we would have everything we needed. He was so accommodating and changed our inbound and outbound plane charter last minute due to last minute flight cancellations. He also provided a Ford Expedition at no additional cost.

I definitely recommend having him cater all dinners and get your groceries for you in advance as the island is very remote (which is part of its appeal). The dinners are excellent and very reasonable. He provided a huge list of items available and we picked what we needed for our stay. He has an extremely well stocked bar and offers several house wines.

There is lots to do besides sit in the hammock and relax at the stunning pool and dock. We snorkeled and kayaked to the barrier islands off the home. We also caught our own lobster and conch for dinner which his chef prepared beautifully. We went to the island's famous blue hole and floated around for an afternoon.

His staff is incredible. Michelle took care of the home and Caleigh and Derek took care of the meals. They were all eager to please and not intrusive. Mike and his staff want to do whatever they can to make your stay personal. Mike was available immediately whenever you had a question or request. We will back for sure! I can't recommend it enough.

Awesome property. If you like a quiet getaway with lots of time in the water fishing, snorkeling etc Kettlestone is awesome.

Obviously the pictures make you think this property is legit but I have been let down more times then none by good photography. In this case the photographs do not do this property justice for what it is. Probably the best property on the island.

We traveled with 6 teenagers and four adults. Mike was more than accommodating with the added people. When I mean the customer service was above and beyond I mean that the customer service was some of the best I have seen at 5 star hotels internationally. He left nothing to wish for or need. Every smallest detail was taken care of or provided on the property. Between his personal touch and daily staff that cleaned and cooked for us this vacation ranks up their for us as the best we have been on so far. Our teenagers were entertained all day long with so many activities to do around the property and alternate excursions that Mike set up for us per request. You can not go wrong with staying at this property or dealing with Mike. If he had more properties around the world I would stick to his brand, in the mean time I will stick to coming back again and again.

This is a fantastic house. We traveled with a family of 7 and easily had plenty of room. Very spacious. This is just a gorgeous property. Mike, the owner, is very friendly, on top of everything, and a wonderful host. He checked in with us several times each day to make sure our bookings for snorkeling, scuba, etc. were all in order (Mike takes care of these for you). There is a housekeeper, Michele, that comes from 10-2 each day and she is very friendly and full of information about the island and the life there. Mike had arranged dinner to be cooked for us each evening. They get your request and then show up with the food and serve it. Very entertaining ladies. Each night you tell them what you'd like the following night. This was great as the choice of restaurants on the island is slim. Mike has also installed a pizza oven. We had pizza night for one of our dinners and they make/serve them until you tell them to stop. Any style you want. Any toppings you want.

The property has just about everything you would want. Beautiful house with very tasteful and quality furniture. Nothing cheap here. Expansive kitchen with fridge/freezer, gas oven/stovetop, microwave, toaster oven, pots, pans, glasses, dishes, cutlery, and if it's in your kitchen it is in this kitchen.

Pool with waterfall and hot tub between house and ocean. Cabana with bathroom and pool floats and about 10 sets of snorkeling gear for all sizes. There is also an outdoor kitchen with gas stovetop and gas grill. From the pool, you take a set of steps down to the dock. There was always a great breeze and this is a wonderful place for coffee or drinks in the evening. Bruce the friendly barracuda is a constant guest. There are 4 kayaks for taking out into the water. And the water is not very deep. At low tide, you can walk a very long way out.

If you are wanting modern, very nice resorts, fast food nearby, this is not the island for you. This island is for people who want to get away from crowds on the beach and get back to an island that is still very pristine. We saw one other person the entire week on the beach. If you want a location with beaches to yourself this is your destination. They are just a few minutes drive from the house.

Also, the house comes with a Ford Expedition that can seat 7 or 8. We used it several times to get around the island for snorkeling, blue holes, etc.

I cannot say enough good things. You would not be disappointed. Great house. Fantastic host.

I looked for somewhere tropical to celebrate my birthday and found this listing. From beginning to end, it was an exceptional experience! The property is as beautiful as the pictures posted. Everyone was so awesome! Michelle took such great care of us, that I didn't want to leave. I loved getting to know her. If we needed anything, she was right there to help us. Thank you Michelle! You’re the best! We had K'lee cook my birthday dinner and it was phenomenal! They truly made it an unforgettable experience. We also had her cook our conch and all I can say is that I’ve never tasted conch that was prepared so well or ever tasted that good at any restaurant. Thanks to K’lee and her assistant for the delicious food! It was awesome! There’s a wood burning pizza oven on the property and we took advantage of that a couple of nights, which was phenomenal as well! Mike and K’lee come over and took care of prepping the wood burning oven, prepping and cooking the pizza. We took advantage of the SUV and went exploring a little to some of the blue holes and shelling. Mike was an awesome host! It wasn’t until the end of the trip that we realized he dived in the blue holes. When we headed back to Nassau, we overheard someone talking about the pizza that Mike makes, so apparently on the Island it’s well known how good it is! Again, I just want to say thank you to everyone for making this trip so special! Everyone had an awesome time!
