About Lisa Teufel
We live on the west coast of Florida and we are water people. We enjoy being on it, in it ,under it, around it and just looking at it. We spend most of our vacation time boating and scuba diving. And that's why we have spent a lot of time in the Bahamas. After boating around most of the islands, Long Island became our favorite. We were actually just looking for a lot to build on when Tom retired when we found Bahamian Mood. The gorgeous crystal clear water and white beach convinced us this was where we wanted to be. It so pristine! We already knew how friendly the locals are and there almost no crime. It's quiet and so relaxing! Only occasionally do you ever see a person on the beach. So now Tom has retired and we hope to spend as much time here as possible. We have 6 kids, 12 grandkids, and 3 great, so we have to be in Florida to see them part of our time.
Lisa Teufel purchased this apartment in 2008
Why Lisa Teufel chose Long Island
After diving in many parts of the world we have seen many beaches and waters. Few can compare to the white powdery sand and the turquoise waters here. It is so clean! The colors never cease to amaze me.
There are no sounds of crowds or traffic, just the quiet sounds of nature.
The house is fun, easy and 'beachy'. The inside is comfortable and there are plenty of outdoor spaces where you can relax.
What makes this apartment unique
When we found this house we were only looking for a lot but we LOVED it! We loved how it sits right on the beach and the views and the easy access of the water. The best thing about the property is staying right on the gorgeous beach and water. We added natural stone walkways, walls and a large patio as well as a pergala for shade. Along with the natural bush there are lush tropical plants.
So relaxing around the the house and beach is comfortable or you can take off and explore the beach or snorkel and explore the reefs along the way.

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -

Excellent stay with an incredible beach!
The home is located just outside of Clarence Town. It’s a great central location on the island. There is a bakery and marina with an excellent restaurant very nearby in Clarence Town. You can also see sharks at the dock at the marina.
The home was well appointed with everything we needed. Everything was clean, well maintained, and in working condition. The kitchen has a cooktop, but does not have an oven. There is a grill outside that we used to make grouper several times.
The beach is directly out your door and is SPECTACULAR! It is one of the best swimming beaches I have ever seen. Not much to see snorkeling, but we did have a large ray pass by.
Nancy the caretaker was very pleasant and helpful. She checked in with us a few times, but didn’t pester us and made sure we felt at home.
Everything about this home and location was wonderful. Please know that there are sand flies on the calm days. Bring bug spray! There are also small scorpions. Just keep an eye out. I have seen them and been eaten alive by sand flies every time I’ve visited the Bahamas, but the beauty of the islands will keep me coming back.
When renting a vehicle, try to get a Jeep or all wheel drive vehicle. The roads to get to the house and must see places like Cape Santa Maria and Deans Blue Hole are rough. Make sure you eat at Max’s Conch Bar in Deadmans Cay. His conch salad is the best in the Bahamas and they have WiFi. Seaside is a good grocery store, but I really liked the Midway store in Pinders. It has everything. There’s also a laundry on the left when driving north before you get to Deadmans. It was clean and Miss Hagge was very helpful.
Don’t miss Cape Santa Maria, Aderley’s Plantation, the Shrimp Hole, Guana Cay, the farmers market on Saturday, and Deans Blue Hole.
I can’t wait to return next year!
A cosy, comfortable and well equipped appartment ON the beach.
We stayed almost 2 weeks in Bahamian mood. The location is absolutely what you want in Bahamian family islands...turquoise water as far as your eyes can see and secluded sandy beach. The location is perfect for visiting all the spots in the mid and south of Long Island...Hamilton cave, Dean Blue Hole, the great beaches like bonacorde, Gordon and many places to find shells. We did stay on site to enjoy the beautiful garden and the patio located on a great beach (Galloway landing). There is a grocery and liquor store within 15 minutes drive and 2 restaurants in the Clarence town marina at about 7 minutes drive. The appartment is modern, nicely decorated, functional kitchen including coffee machine and microwave. Nancy provided all the information .Thanks Lisa for sharing your piece of paradise.
Great beach for kids!
What a great place! A real treat after a not so great rental in Exuma. Much appreciated the clean and comfortable beds. Very clean and bright in the house, but the best thing was being right on the beach. The wind blew during our entire vacation, so it was great to be on the Caribbean side. We were able to go in the ocean daily even when the Atlantic side was extremely rough. Close enough for a short drive to Dean's blue hole – which was awesome...The cottage had all the basic cooking utensils, a few puzzles, and plenty of books for adults – but if you have kids, definitely bring a few games and/or books for entertainment. The beach is amazing during the day, but the bugs will come out at about 4 o'clock, and then you will need things to do inside – or a whole lot of bug spray! The owners were great folks to work with, and the caretaker Nancy was great and very helpful as well. Thank you for everything!
Peace and beauty
The ultimate destination if you want to escape from the hassle of city life. The house is as beautiful and well kept as it can be. The view is stunning and you privacy is guaranteed since you have your own corner of paradise 3 meters away from your porch right in front of you. I haven't had the chance to meet Lisa but we kept in touch through telephone and she's been a perfect host. All in all, I can't find any room for improvement here. We left tremendously satisfied with the island and the accommodation made it just a perfect, unforgettable vacation.
Beautiful rental
This place is beautiful. The house, grounds, location and beach are all fantastic. Very relaxing, secluded, clean and quiet. The owner is attentive and our needs were met without difficulty.
The best of both Bahamas worlds "relax" vs "adventure"
We've been travelling to the Family Islands for 20 years renting from apartments to 4 bedroom homes, with being our fourth trip to Long Island. We have introduced the natural, peaceful beauty of the islands to many of our friends over the years, and this Studio apartment is without a doubt the perfect setting for either a 'first timer' to the island, or to the seasoned "family island" traveller! Bahama Mood is on a spectacular beach front setting, and whether your eating breakfast on the kitchen island, reading in the sitting room, waking up in bed or having a margarita on the porch... the magnificent turquoise waters are literally right in front of you!! Our hosts Tom & Lisa were very welcoming, helpful, and knowledgeable and for first timers would be able to provide a prolific amount of information about Long Island. Otherwise if you come to get away from it all, they are equally respectful of providing you with privacy.
You can walk the beach extensively, snorkel coral reefs just of the shoreline and find an abundance of marine life, explore the back creeks and waterways by kayak, or try paddle boarding on a calm day. My husband said I shouldn't give away all the secrets (smile) but there is also huge extensive flat system for bone fishing within walking distance! The unit itself was complete with everything needed, and was extremely clean, decorated beautifully in a Bahama theme.
Whether you come to Long Island to kick back, read and relax, or fill every day with adventure and aquatic activities....Bahama Mood has it all!! Highly recommend it!!
