Go bone fishing just outside your own front door! Truly, some of the best flats for bone fishing on Andros, in the Bahamas, and for that matter anywhere in the world.

Explore the inland fresh water Blue Holes. Andros has the largest concentration of Blue Holes in the World. They are natural swimming pools, perfectly round holes filled with cool fresh water surrounded by pine forest or hard wood forest.
Go Bird Watching! A constant delight with many different species. Some of the birds are considered protected and migrate from afar to nest here in peace and tranquility. Others can only be found here.
Star gaze! A paradise, far from any light pollution, the sky is open from horizon to horizon.
Visit the home of the hand dyed fabric "Androsia". You can visit the factory and see them wax print and hand dye the beautiful cottons and even try one yourself. The factory outlet store is another of the treasures of Andros.
About Scot Kurth
Built by owner Scot Kurth for my family. We enjoyed the privacy, seclusion and tranquility for 15 years. The only reason that we have moved is for school for our two boys. It is, and will always be Home.
Scot Kurth purchased this house in 1999
Why Scot Kurth chose Bahamas
We choose to build here because I grew up on Andros since 1965 and wanted to share it's Natural Environment and beauty with my family. It is a wonderful place to grow up or visit, surrounded by nature and the ocean. With the renewable energy system, I wanted to show what sustainability looks like and how well it works.
What makes this house unique
The tranquility is unsurpassed. You wake in the morning to the sound of the Ocean lapping at the shore and to the birds chirping. You can enjoy knowing that the house operates on a zero carbon footprint.

"PPP" Private Piece of Paradise
Owners have built a beautiful retreat in a secluded paradise. If you are looking for Casinos and nightlife this is not your place. If you are looking for a private piece of paradise with miles of beach and beautiful flats to explore with a small group of friends or family then this is your place. Scott was extremely helpful and a great resource for anything and everything Andros.
Beautiful home right on the water.
Six adults consisting of two couples and two singles. Plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen very well appointed (I especially appreciated the reverse osmosis filtered water, delicious.).
Three of us are avid fly fisherman and there is a great bonefish flat just out the door.
Great property, awesome location.
Great house, owner is very accommodating. The property is spectacular, very relaxing, lots of toys to use. Flat in front of the house great for wading, lot's of fish, things to see. Great spot for families - we'll be back!
An amazing house in an incredible setting.
We're on our last day here in paradise, packing up for the voyage home. Our stay at Bonefish Bay was wonderful. We've rented many houses at numerous islands throughout the Bahamas and, without doubt, this house was the nicest that we've stayed in. It's not luxurious or fancy but it is very spacious, impeccably clean, and extremely well equipped. We really appreciated the beauty and peacefulness of the private setting.
The house easily accommodated seven of us and could probably have slept an additional four people if we wanted to.
The owner's customer service was simply outstanding (both leading up to and during our stay). It really made everything easy and enhanced the quality of our stay. We would love to visit Bonefish Bay again in the not too distant future.
PERFECT GET-A-WAY
Bonefish Bay was the perfect prescription for this busy family of 6! We have children ages 6, 8, 14, and 16...all at different schools and in multiple extracurricular activities. This beach house provided us the perfect place to relax and re-connect. The property was exactly as it was portrayed online. Scot, the owner, was so gracious and he was available for us to call with any concerns or questions throughout our entire stay. The house is located directly on the beach of bonefish bay, and there are NO neighbors. We saw an occasional fisherman or local collecting conchs from the bay. Otherwise, total seclusion. WE LOVED IT! The house offered all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay, and it was well supplied with all the extras like detergent, dish soap, and paper products. Scot prepared us prior to our arrival with helpful information about what needed to bring, and fun activities to incorporate into our vacation while we were visiting. All of the kids found fun activities to entertain themselves. It was nice to see them enjoy the outdoors and play until they were exhausted! There were four kayaks, a canoe, and wind boards/paddle boards for us to use and enjoy. The locals on the island were all very friendly and helpful when we had questions. It was a wonderful week at Bonefish Bay. We will definitely consider re-visiting!
Outstanding property
We recently stayed at Bonefish Bay and had an amazing time. We had 5 adults and 2 small children (ages 2 and 4). The house sits far off the main road on a beautiful private bay/flat. At low tide the water is incredibly calm, some of the flat dries out and other areas are only knee deep more than 100 yards offshore allowing our children (even our 2 year old) to safely walk and explore-fish, crabs, conch, starfish. At high tide much of the area is still only knee to waist deep and we canoed and kayaked (all available with plenty of life jackets on the property). We fished the flats a few days and saw smalls schools of bones, sometimes tailing within site and easy wading distance of the house-for more serious fishing we went out with guides.
The house itself was very comfortable and functions very well as a beach house for a group or family-4 big bedrooms, 3 large baths, fully stocked kitchen, grill, screen porch with a hammock (we went in February and there were very few insects), working wifi, plenty of hot water etc. The closest town-Fresh Creek is pretty quiet ( a few restaurants and a few markets for essentials) so the full kitchen allowed us to cook most of our meals in-which made for a completely relaxing time.
Perhaps most of all the owner Scot was incredibly helpful and available (he seems to know everyone in Fresh Creek and on Andros-at customs they said-"Oh you're staying at Scotty's house") in putting us in touch with great fishing guides, dive operators, tips on who to call for fresh seafood, what days the boats bring in groceries, and having great local people to meet us at the airport and answer any questions about the property.
Overall we had an amazing time and are hoping to make this a frequent trip for our family.
