Getting around San Sal: San Sal has several historic sites being the first landfall of Christopher Columbus' fleet. It also has the last of the manually kerosene operated Lighthouses of the Bahamas, a truly special and nostalgic piece of history brought by the British. The views from the top of the lighthouse are not to be missed. There are also caves, ruins from old plantations and cays on the northern tip where the San Salvador Iguanas live, these species are native to the area and can only be found here. Bird life is also abundant with San Sal having many salt water lakes. San Sal is served by Queens Highway which runs its entire circumference, about 60 miles. For that reason, to explore sites like the lighthouse and others, a car or a scooter is recommended (both can be easily rented) or you can take an island tour with one of the tour guides.

Total Escape
n3qtrtme  Navasota, TX
Review Submitted: July 31, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
The house was beautiful and well furnished with lots of space, a great layout and incredible views. It's also located in a perfect spot. You are pretty close to "town" but far enough away that you are not dealing with much traffic, especially on the beaches. We spent nearly every day in the water snorkeling the reefs and met the resident sea turtle, huge school of dinner-plate sized blue tangs and cuttlefish. We really missed diving due to a broken shoulder, but will get our fill on the next trip down to San Sal. We enjoyed several traditional, home-style Bahamian meals with Beverly at Paradis. Her and her mom are incredible chefs! We also took one of our first couple of days and drove all the way around the island in our rental car from Granville (which Garnel set up for us in moments upon our arrival). The drive gave us the chance to see where we wanted to spend more time throughout the week, with a focus on the beaches and reefs. Grotto beach in Columbus Landings has a pavilion with picnic tables and is pretty much deserted all the time… ask the locals how to get there and they will be happy to help. The lighthouse is a must-see. Just go on in but make sure you sign the guest book and don’t wake up the lighthouse keeper. He sleeps during the day. There really are no U.S. style “convenience” stores on the island, so make sure you bring drinks/food if you go out exploring until you get used to the hours of operation. We packed a soft cooler and it worked out wonderfully. It was also handy for picnic lunchs at the beaches. Stores keep business hours but when we visited Jake Jones’ store on Sunday, the locals recommended we knock on the owner’s door. She was happy to open up and let us shop. The island does run based on the mailboat and fuel barge deliveries every week. If they are delayed for some reason, talk to Garnel and she’ll help you find what you need. Garnel stopped by almost every day to make sure we were outfitted with everything we needed, answer any of our questions and just be a huge help. Her help and oversight helped to make our vacation perfect. All in all, the Blue House was perfect for our escape from daily life and a comfortable, relaxing vacation home. Thanks for everything, Flavia! We’ll be back!

Your Own Back Yard
Cindy and friends from NYC  Brooklyn, NY USA
Review Submitted: March 21, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
The Blue House is a spacious, open and extremely comfortable home for your vacation. The views of the ocean are truly stunning. The back deck is great for sunning, cooking out, or sleeping in the hammock after some Pina Coladas. There are plenty of beach chairs for spending time ON the beach, but it's nice to have a covered area to be in once you have cooked yourself for the day. My best friends and I have rented a house somewhere in the Bahamas every year for the past 6 years and the Blue House is in now our top 2 of favorites. The beach in front of the house is lovely and there is good snorkeling. The caretaker Garnell is extremely accommodating and is there to help if you need anything or have questions. The house is large and offers privacy when you need it, with bedrooms and bathrooms both upstairs and down. The Golf Cart is great for grocery shopping but if you want to really explore San Salvador, renting a car or scooter for the day is the way to do it.
San Salvador itself is a hidden gem, great for exploring, gorgeous coves and grottos.The people who live there are friendly and very kind. Taking a boat out to snorkel or scuba dive is great. We went to 2 reefs for 40 bucks and stayed out for about 3 hours. One place was actually a ship wreck and was really interesting and kind of creepy cool. We saw some great fish too. However, we went in March and the water was bit on the chilly side at 71 degrees and there was a lot of wind but according to the island folks, the wind was NOT a normal occurrence. Much of the island is in it's natural and pristine state, completely undeveloped. Pigeon Creek is lovely and Dixon Hill Lighthouse is also worth a visit.
We only went out to eat once, to New Columbus Tavern, a short distance from Blue House and had some great cracked conch. Our new friend Capt Bruce got us fresh fish on several occasions and cooking in was our choice for eating while we were there.
If you are looking for that Wizard of Oz type of vacation, where everything you need is in your own back yard, then the Blue House is what you are looking for.

Dream House
CASK RANCH  Navasota, TX
Review Submitted: July 31, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This is THE Place. No one else on the beach. Everyone extrememly friendly. Stores were closed on Sunday but owners opened up for us so we could get groceries when we got there. Just ask someone where they live and knock on their door. They are more than happy to open. The Paradis Cafe is the best food on the island. Beverly is a wonderful cook. The reef behind the house is the first time I have encountered sea turtles in 30 years of diving.It was a treat. You will love this house and island. It is worth the trip!

Very Relaxing Week At The Blue House
jlou  Austin, Texas USA
Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
Our family of 3 was looking for a relaxing week at the end of the school year (June). The Blue House was exactly what we needed. Spacious house, right on the beach. We did not see even one other person on the beach the entire week. Great snorkeling right off the beach just steps from the door. Beautiful sunsets seen directly out the back windows. Owner was very helpful with info about the house and island. Local family who maintains the house were very friendly and helpful. Very friendly island. Not much to do on the island, which is exactly what we wanted. We saw the lighthouse and snorkled/had a picnic at a couple other beaches. Not many restaurants. Ate at Paradis, Tavern, Riding Rock and were happy cooking in and enjoying the view, watching a movie, etc. I recommend this house and island for a restful family getaway.

Secluded Oasis
leokatie  Nashville, TN
Review Submitted: June 24, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
If you are looking for a beautiful oasis secluded on a breathtaking beach, this place is for you. The house is very accommodating with plenty of space and a great deck with a beach side view. When we arrived we rented a scooter across from the airport which I highly recommend to get around the island. San Salvador has many beautiful private beaches with clear blue waters and white sand. For great Bahamian food we went to Paradise Café where Beverly took great care of us. San Salvador is still very undiscovered by lots of tourists, so you truly feel separated from all the hustle and bustle you left behind on the homeland. For nights you want some entertainment Club Med is only a mile from the blue house and offers all inclusive food and drinks. My boyfriend and I had a great experience here, we left with an overall feeling of peacefulness.
