Return to Paradise-Robinson Caruso Adventure Style
Review Submitted: June 23, 2011

The weather was divine in May and the screened sleeping room allowed the breezes to flow upon us as we fitfully slept each night (not even the fan was needed)! This property is beautiful and allows one to experience a serenity of the deepest level. Take the unkempt path to the beach and feel like you're discovering a spot where no one else has ever been! Lay on the dock at night and gaze up at the stars-what a stellar experience! The upstairs house is roomier than it seems in the photos, the porch and hammocks are wonderful. We cooked on the grill and used the gas stove-there are plenty of provisions and spices for use. The bathroom facilities are quite modern enough, and going outside to use them is part of the experience-just perfect!
Lubber's Landing is just down the way is an a friendly, low key, little bar and restaraunt with lovely hosts and a beachy area with lounges and a sofa on the dock. You can catch some food, drink and music at Cracker P's too-both very close by.
SeaHorse boat rentals allowed us to get an 18' Albury which was efficient with gas and was all that was needed to cruise around all the little cays, from Treasure Cay down to LIttle Harbour. Plenty to see on your own-grab a magazine and ask the locals; walk around each island and/or rent a golf cart (esp on Hope Town), snorkel at the reefs, oh, and be sure to get the Guide to Cruising the Abacos-essential for avoiding rocks, reefs and sandbars while boating, plus it provides places to go, things to do, where to get groceries, etc.
We did not want to see many people, have a tour guide, be on a populated beach or stay in a concrete structure-MOONRISE fit our desires and will always have a place in our hearts (really, it's that kind of experience!). Marlee is a wonderful person to deal with-rest assured, this person and this place will meet and exceed your expectations!

Owner's Response: It is with joy that I connect with guests who prefer the authenticity of life in a natural sanctuary who can appreciate the value of simple and comfortable lifestyle on an island.
