Location: Bahamas

Nearest Airport: Marsh Harbour Airport at 14 Miles
Car: recommended
Privacy, peace, and tranquility on a private beach is what I love! Fishing, snorkeling, beach combing, sailing, enjoying the stars while swaying on the hammock, swimming, or basking in the warm Caribbean sun are at your front door. Just a short drive or boat ride away all restaurants, shops, and live music are at your demand. It's paradise just waiting to be enjoyed! Life is good!! Michelle

    * Whole House $2100/week (up to 6 persons additional $100 per person).
    March-October rates are up $100 per week for high electric season. Please help to keep my rates low by shutting off AC when leaving and keeping windows and doors closed when on. It also helps the environment. Thanks so much for your help!! 'Think sand between your toes!' Michelle
  • Check around, this is a great deal for a great place I charge $2100 per week for the whole house (6 people- $100 for each additional person) which is 3 bedrooms with king size beds/3 bath, 2 fully equipped kitchens, and 2 living rooms. There are 2 sleeper sofas, one in each living room. All the bedrooms and living rooms overlook the sugar white sand beach and turquoise sea. You are directly on the beach, 100 feet from your back door to the Caribbean Sea.
    For a smaller group you may rent the downstairs only. It is 2 bed/2bath with kitchen and living room. I charge $1800 per week (4 people- $100 per extra person) for it. The Mermid penthouse suite upstairs is a 1bed/1bath with fully equipped kitchen that goes for $1300 per week ( 2 people).** For privacy I rent to only one group at a time, whatever their accommodations may be.** If you rent for 4 weeks I discount the price 25% so it is like getting one week free. Check in time is 3p.m. Check out is 10a.m. Repeat guests get a discount.

Notes: It is a great place for family or a romantic getaway. Smoking outside only. Pets depending how well behaved and there is a pet deposit also. Telephone is first minutes on my account then phone cards are available. I supply the first 2 rolls of toilet paper, 2 paper towels and some laundry soap to get you started. There are spices and condiments but they come and go between guests. It is my home away from home so I try to make it as comfortable as possible.

Nutty Mermaid in the summer

teamkarst Florida
Review Submitted: December 18, 2007 Date of Stay: August 2007
My family, myself, and friends had a great time at the Nutty Mermaid. We have been all over the Bahamas, and I do mean all over. We were a mix of tech divers, reef divers, beachcomers, snorklers, and boaters, and Nutty Mermaid had it all for us. Make no mistake, you will need a car, but those are easily arranged in the city.
A perfect blend of privacy, with access to a "major" city, we really enjoyed the nite sky unpolluted by city lights, no noise, and a world class private beach. I'm not even a beach-goer, but this sandy beach in the back yard is unbeatable for small kids and adults alike. This is on the clear, brilliant, Sea of Abaco; the largest waves we had in our week were maybe 3 inches!
The minor downsides are a few horseflys, and you will need to drive to a restaurant; no real public transportation out there. The use of some minutes on a local cellphone was an unexpected bonus. Highly recommended, and I hope to return.
