Our first trip to the Grand Island and staying at the Wakely’s,
This was our second time using the VRBO website, and our first time working with Paul and Sharon. They were so prompt and patient with the several emails full of questions that we had, since it was our first trip there. We appreciate they're professional and easy going interactions with us.
We were looking for an adventure and decided to take the Bellaria ferry from Fort Lauderdale to the island, but we won’t do that again. It was a rocky ride both ways. We will definitely fly into Freeport next time. The taxi ride from the port to Coral Beach Condos was easy and quick. As soon as we got to the condo we checked in with the lady at the front desk. The process was quick and we were soon in our room.
We enjoyed the condo and found it to be clean, convenient and comfortable. The kitchen is beautiful. We appreciated the fact that you had multiple channels and free wifi. After traveling all night and day, we were pretty wiped out. We unpacked a bit and went down to get something to eat at the pool bar. The food was fulfilling and we enjoyed Nate. He was easy going and welcoming.
The beach walk to Port Lucaya Market was fabulous! The beach and water were stunning. The first two days we were without a vehicle and walked to the Marketplace via the beach. This was a favorite activity of ours. We did use the taxi and bus systems, which were easy and convenient. We did rent a car for two days and we can confidently recommend Bo. His rental shed is at the far end of the Marketplace, across the parking lot. We also recommend "Queenie" for a taxi ride.
There are four things that we fell in love with: the people, the sugar sand, the crystal clear water and the rum.
We are grateful that you opened up your home to renters, and we are thankful that that was our introduction to the Grand Bahamas.
It was a pleasure working with both of you. May you both be blessed this upcoming year.
