Photos and Description of the Great Guana Cay vacation house rental 2 bedrooms 2 baths, outside shower, sleeps 4-6

A highly secluded, fully equipped home with a spectacular view. It is uniquely situated on the highest point of the Island. Three minutes by foot takes you to the 5 miles of white sand Ocean beach and but 2 minutes to the dock on the Sea; the house is close enough to see and hear both. A 12 ft. cathedral living room ceiling gives an appropriate sense of space; the spiral stairway accents the wood interior. 17 feet of window space overlooks the Sea of Abaco. Cross ventilation, A/C & 5 ceiling fans, including one on the porch, assures total seasonal comfort. The screened lanai extends the real living space and allows full view of the Bahamian sunsets. On rare occasions, a careful observer may sight the elusive 'green flash' that all seafaring folks watch for. The grounds boast over 50 young citrus, exotic fruit and indigenous trees. In season, feel free to pick the bananas, papayas, and/or whatever may be available in the vegetable garden Getting There: Fly into Marsh Harbour

Car: not necessary
No 'Club Med'; Guana is the ultimate relaxing vacation. A tranquil, unspoiled, Island 180 miles East of West Palm Beach. There is plenty of 'non-doing' and a bit of doing if you like fishing, snorkeling or swimming in the most beautiful water, unlike any other. One may linger over an unhurried dinner under the stars; explore the Island's 5 miles of spectacular white sand ocean beach and adjacent reef, swim from the dock in the Abaco Sea; or seek rare sea shells on nearby man-made Shell Island. Indeed, a bounty of activity is available on this tiny, yet largest Island, in the outer Cays that warmly welcomes one and all. But the best advice comes from a native, 'Just kick back and enjoy.' If you would like to leave a phone # for emergencies Jackie Sands, (our property manager), is: 242/365-5015. Once you board the ferry in Marsh Harbour; ask the Captain to call Jackie's VHF, to alert her that you are on the ferry. She will meet you at the dock, and introduce you to the house.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Great Guana Cay, Bahamas

'Tranquillity': Because we spend four-five months a year at 'Tranquillity,' it is really our home, as such, we have tried to make it as complete, comfortable and convenient as possible. The house is situated between, and close to, the Sea of Abaco and the Atlantic Ocean. It is close enough to hear the surf of the Ocean and the lapping of the Sea, The panoramic view of both is spectacular. It is accessed from the main road by a wooded path which leads directly to the house. The path continues past the house and 3 more minutes takes you to the 5 miles of white sand Ocean beach with it's wonderful snorkeling reefs. An even shorter walk South, brings you to the dock on the Sea. Here, one can keep a rental boat, swim and snorkel.

Enviroment/Pleasures: Guana Cay offers 5 miles of beautiful, low-keyed environment. The Sea of Abaco is on the South side and the Atlantic Ocean borders the North. 'Tranquillity' is uniquely situated between, but close to, both bodies of water. The lovely white sand Ocean beach runs the length of the Island. No 'Club Med'; Guana maintains 'Island Time.' It is tranquil, unspoiled, laid back and the ultimate relaxing 'non-doing' vacation. But, if you like fishing, snorkeling or swimming in water that caresses your body and lifts the spirt, Guana is the place! One may linger over an unhurried dinner under the stars; explore the Island's 5 miles of spectacular white sand ocean beach and adjacent reef; swim from the dock in the sea; seek rare sea shells on nearby man-made Shell Island; or watch sun and sea mingel their evening colors. There is always 'Nippers' beach bar for true excietment. A bounty of activity is available on this, the largest Island of the Abaco Cays, that warmly welcomes one and

Amenities: The Kitchen has a small microwave, coffee maker, a blender, coffee grinder, full size electric stove, fridge, and an under sink water purifier. Pots and pans are ceiling hung. The VHF (Island phone), is in the kitchen with a complete directory of residents and merchants . The living room has a satellite TV/VCR, a satellite radio, a Bose FM/AM/CD radio player, and a cassette tape player. A large variety of music on CD'S and tapes from classical Mozart/Wagner to Billy Bragg/Miles Davis and pure jazz are available. A number of good VCR taped plays, documentaries and movies fill out the inventory. There are games and puzzles available. One of the two bedrooms on the first floor has a queen sized bed and short wave radio. The other, has twin beds. Both have a full bath and there is an additional private outside shower. Spiral stairs takes you to the sitting room on the second floor and a marvelous 360 degree view of the Sea, the Ocean, the Settlement, and the whole Island Landscape
