Tropical Hideaway - walk to the beach!
*** No Damage from Hurricane Melissa!! Open and ready to BOOK now! ***
This 1 Bedroom /1 Bath Cottage provides the privacy needed for a peaceful vacation. The Bedroom has a King Sized Bed, or 2 Twin Beds, depending on your unique needs. Large Dresser and Walk In Closet with a Washer and Dryer contribute to the comfort of home, and provides added convenience for longer stays. The Great Room has comfortable seating and a pullout sofa bed, Flat Screen TV with AppleTV and WiFi. Large Dining Island with bar stools allows plenty of room in the Kitchen area. Equipped with a full sized Regrigerator with Ice Machine, Gas Range and Microwave.
All Amenities included - Towels and Linens, Beach Gear and Coolers, Grill, Screened Porch, Sun Deck, Gourmet Cooking tools, Dishes, Glassware and a Blender. Shared use of Kayaks and Bicycles. Maps and Guides to local spots.
Curl up in the Hammock with a cold drink and a book. Take your fishing pole out to the bight and catch your dinner, then bring it back to the fish cleaning station and BBQ an evening of fresh seafood. Or ask us to get some fresh fish for you and have it prepared while you just relax. Kayak out to the nearby Cays for a morning of snorkeling. Or just pull up a beach chair and enjoy the water.
Long Island is one of the most unique islands in the Bahamas. For many people, it is considered the hidden Bahamas. On the northern tip there are dramatic sea cliffs overlooking the dark blue water where Columbus anchored the Santa Maria when he discovered the island in 1492. The beaches are incredible. Talcum-powder fine white sand and crushed pink and brown shell cover some of the most stunning beaches in the Bahamas. The water is clear, warm, and turquoise blue. From hillside perches, where cool trade winds blow, you can look down to stretches of spectacular coast and water so pristine you can see multiple shades of blue in the depths of the ocean. Yet this island has much more to offer than its natural beauty; it is safe, easily accessible by air, close to the United States, and home to friendly English-speaking locals.
If you have any special requests please let us know. If you need some groceries, beer, liquor or soda we'd be happy to pick that up for you so it will be ready upon arrival...nothing like a nice cold drink after a day of travelling.
Same thing with arrangements for Rental Cars, Fishing guides, restaurants..whatever !!! We are here to take the mystery out of Long Island so you can have a stress-free stay and pack in as much fun as possible while you are here.
Veggie Garden in Season. Herb Garden at your front door.
Don't miss the opportunity to explore Long Island, which is the most attractive of all the Bahamas out islands, with quaint settlements dotted between gentle rolling hills. Here nature is still unspoiled. Historical sites remind us of the interesting past and where people are amongst the friendliest in the Bahamas. This is the perfect spot for a Bahamas vacation of a lifetime!

Quiet Island Comfort
About the host
Hosted by Sara Werra
Dan & Sara fell in love with Long Island in 2000 when they were travelling the Bahamas on their sailboat.
They usually spend the winters in the Bahamas and the summers in the States traveling along with their adopted Bahamian Potcake Dog-Cinco.
This has been a perfect spot the last few years to, well, just feel normal.

Why they chose this property
This area of Long Island called to us from the start. It's convenient to many of the sites to visit on Long Island, yet is not crowded or over built. A 5 minute walk to the beach makes it great for afternoon dips in the sea, or early morning beach walks.
What makes this property unique
Ask us about Long Term rental rates if you are looking to escape for the winter and Work From Home.
