CORAL SANDS BEACH HOUSE ON THE OCEAN, GREEN TURTLE CAY, BAHAMAS

We immediately loved this house. My husband and I had been to Green Turtle several times, and this time we brought four other family members with us. Bita Bay is our favorite beach on the island, so we looked for a house at this location. This was our first stay at Coral Sands. Even though we knew the beach well, we were stil blown away when we first saw the view from the living room. You never tire of it.

Our family members who came with us said they can't ever imagine vacationing anywhere else. My brother-in-law said it was the best vacation of his life. The sunrise each morning was special and refreshing. There is nice snorkeling on a reef within swimming distance from shore. We once saw two Eagle Rays swimming below us for 10 minutes - it was like a ballet. On a "crowded" day at the beach, you might see five or ten people, total. It is basically all yours.

The house had everything we needed. We cooked four times. We rented just the top floor, and it had plenty of room for all six of us. The owner sent us all the directions we needed in comprehensive and prompt communications. The property manager, Julie, met us at the dock and helped with our bags and golf carts. We already miss Violet at Miss Emily's Blue Bee, and we had great meals everywhere we went. We rented a boat for a day, and of course, we spent a day with the original Brendal. Don't miss any experience on this island.

This is everything a vacation is supposed to be. Authentic. Relaxing. Renewing.

My family spent the week at Coral Sands and we all had an awesome time. The owner was very helpful in giving us pointers on restaurants, cart rentals and the house had a view you just have to see to believe, absolutely breathtaking. We had some of the best fresh grouper, I personally had it every night, and yummy lobster tails. Took Brendal's snorkeling excursion and thoroughly enjoyed the meal on the beach and the interaction with the stingrays. Also found that we all particularly liked the rum punch! The house was as described and all pictures are accurate and we hopefully wil be able to return in the future.

Coral Sands Beach House on Green Turtle Cay was the perfect setting for our nine-member three-generations summer vacation. I felt as though I had just stepped inside an issue of Architectural Digest when I walked through the front door of this beautiful but comfortable and cozy home. The house plan offers lots of togetherness spaces as well as quiet areas for a nap or a quiet read. A constant sea breeze keeps the temperature perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and shelling from sun up to sun down. I especially appreciated the close proximity to the beach, which is just steps from the front door. Everyone was able to enjoy a snorkeling experience in line with his or her capabilities; the reef just past the water line was a perfect place for our five-year-old and our eight-year-old first-time snorkelers, and the big reef was great for the more experienced members of our group. The whole vacation went just the way John said it would: Marilyn’s meeting us at the ferry dock with our three golf carts and the refrigerator stocked for our Saturday evening arrival by Sid’s Grocery. This was the best family vacation we have ever had, and we are already coordinating our schedules so that we can come back next year. John, thanks again for sharing your lovely beach house with us.
