Lovely holiday, thank you!

lobster-lovers Copenhagen, Denmark
Review Submitted: October 12, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
This was the perfect get-away for us, nice and quiet away from touristy stuff and in the back garden of the most wonderful and hospitable hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed the house and the garden and thank you to Leonard and Christine for taking the time to show us how to get around in the town! Thank you for a lovely week!

A Wonderful Vacation Experience

Single Woman Ottawa
Review Submitted: January 24, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
This is a wonderful little hideaway and is exactly as advertized. The hosts are both kind and helpful and the cottage is functional and very quiet.

Do not hesitate to use the Jitney. The one that heads directly into town takes about 15 minutes, but comes only once an hour (around minute 40).

Also the village shop at the end of the road has great sandwiches and tea treats avail every morning at very reasonable prices.

Have fun...

Perfection Plus

David and Dilys Hull, United Kingdom
Review Submitted: January 21, 2009 Date of Stay: October 2008
This was a nostalgic return for us having worked as teachers for the Bahamian Government from 1968 to 1972. We wanted to avoid the usual 'hotel' type holiday and 'live' in Nassau once again. We couldn't have chosen better and this wonderful little hideaway is perfection plus. The property had everything you could possibly need, was clean and very well maintained and had the most comfotable bed I have slept on, ever. Our hosts Leonard and Chrissie couldn't have done more and were the perfect hosts from delivering the morning paper to our breakfast table to providing the opportunity to chat over a drink at the end of the day.

We're keen birdwatchers and the amazing garden around the house was a birding paradise with a continuous stream of migrating birds. We recorded almost 40 different species without moving from the table on our patio. Add to this our nightly visit from the resident family of racoons and Leonard's amazing knowledge of everything about the Bahamas and you very quickly realise that staying here is so much better than at one of the massive hotel complexes on the island.

Don't consider staying anywhere else - but don't tell everybody!!

Paradise ...

Cheryl & Mark (Canadian Friends) :) Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Review Submitted: November 4, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We didn’t know what to expect … we stepped out of a cab from the airport to our vacation spot. The street we stopped on was shrouded with flowers. We then walked through the cat paw covered gate into the most intriguing garden we have ever seen. Nothing was the same, yet everything was creative and magnificently done. All hand crafted and arranged by the homeowners, Leonard and Chrissie.

Our hosts greeted us warmly then gave a quick tour of their main house, pool. 'Happy Hour\ spot (named: The Jolly Sailor Tavern) – which Leonard keeps fully stocked at all times and you can visit each day at 5pm. Then on to the guesthouse …

The guesthouse was more than we expected … clean, perfectly equipped with all the amenities – and charming. (If you are a traveler and are looking for an experience outside of hotel chains, this is a spot for you).

Both Chrissie and Leonard are genuine hosts. They offer any services that you are looking for, without being intrusive. Honestly, while we were there, we felt that they were more friends than anything else. They are warm, world traveled, amazing, interesting people. We both loved coming back each day to have drinks and spend time talking with them during happy hour.

Also, the Island of Nassau offers great beaches, shopping, restaurants and nightlife.

All in all an amazing trip for those of any ages; a trip we highly, recommend – we’re looking forward to coming back again soon!

A Wonderful Place in Paradise

Hugh & Terri Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Review Submitted: October 26, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
We cannot say enough about the wonderful time we spent at this serene and relaxing cottage.
The cottage was very clean and well equipped and our hosts even stocked the fridge with essentials prior to our arrival. The patio is surrounded with a beautiful garden of native plants and trees and fish pond with calming water fountain. We thoroughly enjoyed our time spent here, listening to the water, the birds, and visiting with our 5 feline friends who roam the gardens.
With the jitney stop just outside the gate we had no problems getting around the island. It was a lot of fun learning the techniques to riding the jitney and experiencing the unique character of each bus. There were shops close by in either direction where we could stop and pick up groceries and such.
Our most accommodating hosts, Leonard and Chrissy, provided directions and guidance and even provided us with the occasional ride. We always looked forward to evenings in the garden, with our hosts, discussing Bahamian history and culture over a bottle of wine (or two).

If you are visiting the Bahamas and looking for a friendly and relaxing stay than this is the place for you.
