Amazing Family Spring Break Vacation!!

Review Submitted: May 10, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
This was our first trip to the Bahamas and we are very glad it was here. My wife and I brought our two young boys (ages 6 and 8). I too was very worried about what to expect given the previous comment from Robyn (in Oregon) but we had already booked the trip and after talking again with the owner we decided it was worth the risk. I'm very glad we did!

The house is not a Ritz Carlton but it is a VERY nice house next to the beach with an amazing view in a private setting (only a half dozen other houses to be seen around us...very friendly neighbors). If the Ritz thought they could get the traffic on this island they would definitely build here. :)

My worries were completely washed away when I walked into the house. The house was clean, spacious, decently equipped (everything we needed), and very relaxing -- there is even a gazebo with hammocks on the beach which is for the house guests. There were no signs of rats (previous comment) and the place was clean. The pictures posted are exactly what we found.

Overall, we couldn't have asked for much more! We got to relax as a family, see some beautiful scenery, and recharge for 8 days -- mission accomplished! This island has some of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Definitely check out Deans Blue Hole -- bring the snorkel gear.

Please know that the island isn't a big tourist destination which is mainly what attracted us to it but may not be ideal for everyone looking for all the kinds of conveniences you might typically find on the more popular islands. No starbucks here! Small family-run grocery stores, small (but pretty decent) restaurants, limited shopping, and very few tourist traps. However, the result that mattered to us most: every beautiful beach we visited had no more than a half dozen people on them (max) and in literally most cases it was just us! There was a lot more to do on the island than we took advantage of...but, our preference was relaxation.

We pretty much loved it all. We will always remember this trip and will definitely do it again.

Scott P. (Washington, DC)

ps. In case it matters to you, the wifi internet worked flawlessly the entire time which was important to me in keeping up with my business and for occasionally checking in on the news of the world.

We would go back

Review Submitted: April 17, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
Because of a previous review, we were somewhat scared, but we had a very relaxing time in a very comfortable place. The beach out back is great and there were amazing beaches nearby as well, all very secluded and private. The house itself is well equipped, but the sofas in the living room do need to be replaced soon. Renting a car is a must to see the island and for grocery shopping. All in all we were very satisfied and would seriously consider going back for a future vacation.

DO NOT RENT THIS HOUSE!!! IT IS A DIVE!!

Review Submitted: March 20, 2011 Date of Stay: March 2011
Do not rent this place. It does not even come close to the photos. It has not been maintained over the last 3 years. We arrived with trash, junk, rat traps, rat poop, unusable furniture and a general unkempt place. If it were not for the kind actions of the neighbors, we would have no water, no electricity and not a clean towell in the place. The owner owes money to people all over Long Island, and is creating a ponzi like scheme with the income on this property. contact me directly for pictures of what this place looks like inside. You will be shocked. robyndoelbusch@yahoo.com
Owner's Response: Be careful with this guest. She may sabbotage your rental also...

Charming and private house

Review Submitted: September 10, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
I had a wonderful stay at Ocean Sound and I really appreciated the high quality of the house, its contents, and location. What a charming and romantic house, it is very impressive. It is clean, comfortable, cosy, quiet, and very well equipped. The grounds and garden are beautiful, while the proximity to the water is really agreable. In one word It’s paradise!

The best advantage of this house is that it is completely private... with easy access to private and deserted beaches and one of the most amazing views of the ocean! Imagine having your breakfeast on the quiet patio, listening to the ocean and birds chirping in the charming garden with a perfect view of turquoise waters! The outdoor shower is nice after coming back from the beach…..

I also enjoyed the nice breez during the warmer days, the sound of the surf at night with the millions of stars in the dark sky... What a relaxing and perfect time! On Long Island and close to the house, there are lots of amazing sandy beaches, great for snorkelling, strolling and shelling… and there’s hardly anyone else around! People on the island are very friendly and accomodating. Simply, the Long Island experience is the real island living!

Take a walk on the empty beach, swim in the baby blue ocean, discovery the magnificient Deep Blue Hole, have a conch salad in a local restaurant, take a drink with the local people or just relax with a good book on a long chair.

By the way, for more practical questions, I really appreciated the availability, helpfulness and advices of the care-taker. I also appreciated having the internet, quite a luxury for the out island experience. I will note : renting a car during my trip was good, as it was essential for discovery of more of the island and grocery shopping.

I hope your stay is as enjoyable as mine was…..!

Amazing location, perfect Vacation!

Review Submitted: June 26, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
I recently returned from my trip in Long Island, Bahamas. I stayed at this property and it was perfect. The beach is amazing and one of the best I have ever seen. It was secluded and I did not see another person on the beach the entire week that I was there. The breeze from the ocean is wonderful, keeping it cool all day and night long. The house was great. It has 2 nice bedrooms and is fully-furnished. The house has modern couches (2 inside and one outside on the porch), dining table for 4, full kitchen and amenities, W/D, a hammock and much more. I could even use my laptop as there is WI-FI as well as satellite radio and a flat screen TV.
This is definitely the place to go to get away from it all and enjoy the beach, but there is also a lot to do if you are interested. Dean's blue hole is only miles away, one of the deepest blue holes in the world. You can go snorkeling, diving, boating, fishing, swimming or just hang out on the beach.
This place would be perfect for honeymooners or families at is romantic, beautiful, secluded and modern.
The property was clean and well-maintained. The owner was friendly and provided great service. It was easy to go online and reserve the vacation. Everything was taken care of easily and efficiently.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a get away vacation who loves the beach!
