9 months ago we started a search for a vacation property to celebrate our upcoming retirements and milestone birthdays with our family. We searched for a property that offered onsite activities and services to make our celebration vacation truly memorable while being away from the hustle and bustle of the larger vacation destinations. Boy did we find this with the Big Bamboo!
To start, what a beautiful property! The pictures, while beautiful, do not do this place justice. The house is very well appointed, the views are incredible, and the sunsets are breathtaking! The property has everything an active group could ask for and the staff is always at the ready to find what you need and organize land and sea excursions you would want to do!
And the staff....OMG, from the first contact we made with Kelly regarding this property, we felt the Big Bamboo was going to be a very special place. We were not disappointed! Kelly made the planning and logistics to make our dream vacation come true absolutely seamless. She is very, very good at what she does, especially her ability to turn the stresses of planning an adventure to an out island in THE BAHAMAS into a very fun and exciting experience from the day we first reached out to her to our final day when our Tropic Ocean Airways seaplane landed on Fresh Creek to start our journey home. Thank you Kelly for recommending the seaplane experience. Our family will never forget that experience!
Captain Steve and his first mate/property manager Jerry truly took care of our clan with both land and sea excursions! Jerry, as an Andros local, shows and shares his passion for the area. He did a marvelous job helping our clan enjoy every moment of every excursion regardless of experience. And Captain Steve, thank you for your stories and friendship developed during those marvelous sunset cruises up Fresh Creek every evening!
Kelly's recommendation to use a meal service while at Big Bamboo is not only spot on but its truly an experience you do not want to miss out on! We wanted to experience a true Bahamian experience while on Andros and K'lee (Kischdlee at K'lee Enterprizes) and her sidekick Rico brought that to our table with every meal they presented! Fresh caught lobster, Conch served every imaginable way, crab, shrimp, ribs, chicken and wild boar all freshly prepared and presented with love and care and with flavors that wowed our clan at every meal! Truly worth the experience and convenience!!!
