We had an absolutely wonderful time! Dolphin Lookout is a special place and we wanted for nothing. We so enjoyed all of the thoughtfulness that went into making Dolphin Lookout a special place.....the well stocked kitchen, the comfortable bed, the spectacular porch and views, the chairs and benches by the water, the ipod connection, the books, the VHF radio and Pat and Sidney's help. We spent many hours walking the beach and finding sea glass. We came home with a great collection of shells and glass. We ate all of our meals at the cottage....fresh fish everyday, toast with Irish butter and jam, avocados the size of grapefruits, pinapples and wonderful tomatoes. We saw pilot whales, spotted eagle rays, black tip reef sharks, and your resident barracuda and many fish at the dock. Other than that we honestly did nothing but relax and read good books. We had some great conversations and came to the realization that we missed taking the time to just talk. We did a lot of laughing too. Dolphin Lookout has the spirit and peacefulness we needed. We would like to return and explore more. We want to thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with us! Thanks again, Ben and Cathy.
Sincerely,
Kathy and Paul Anderson

Ben and Cathy,
We had such an incredible experience at Dolphin Lookout. What a wonderful piece of property that you have!Your caretakers, Sydney and Pat were awesome. There are so many highlights. The wedding of course was number one, but the marine life definately a close second. We saw dolphin cruising by the house, a shark, lots of colorful fish, starfish, baracuda and the list goes on. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to share your experience. We have already begun to recommend Dolphin Lookout to all of our friends(hope that's ok)!
Thanks again,
Nora and Trent

Dear Ben & Cathy -

Words cannot describe and pictures cannot do justice to your Dolphin Lookout. This has to be the best property on the island. No matter how many times we came up the steps and turned to see the wonderful view, we were still awestruck.
You have done a wonderful job of creating the feel of being on a private ship with all of the careful details of the house. When you have an almost-360 view of the ocean(s) out of the windows, that's certainly how it feels. And to top all of that off, there's nothing lacking in the amenities that make a place feel homey.

Each morning was an adventure bumping up the trails and back from the settlement to see what fresh fish and produce we would be having for dinner.
In the afternoon, we would throw our snorkel gear in the cart and pick a new path to the water. We were always amazed with where we ended up and with the incredible reefs that abounded.

The local people are all so warm and hospitable. Not something you find just anywhere. From Johnny at Nippers (he went above and beyond his call of duty to help us out), to Milo at the produce stand, to Jerry and Dean at Seaside Villas, and then to Troy, Maria and Alan at Dive Guana, the Sylvans at the grocery store and the wait staffs at Grabbers and Docksiders, everyone was someone to remember. Pat and Sidney were most wonderful with their fountain of local knowledge. They are sincerely good people.

One of the most surreal experiences was on our last day when a storm came up in the west and was traveling down the Sea of Abaco while another storm was developing which took the Atlantic path. We sat on the porch and watched both with their black clouds and lightening shows go to either side of us and meet on the other side of Scotland Cay leaving the sun shining on us.

Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of Dolphin Lookout. It's truly a place we will never forget and to which we will certainly have to return.

Best wishes,

Joe & Jamie Garofalo

Review Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Dear Ben and Cathy,
We had an amazing time at your impressive hideaway. We loved kayaking-particularly in the evening. We saw some great marine life right where the 1st channel lets out from Scotland Bay into the Sea of Abaco. We saw a very big stingray-5.5 foot across, plus some large baracuda and predator fish. We also snorkeled inside of Scotland Bay near the 3rd farthest channel from Dolphin Lookout. I spotted a stingray who was camouflaged at the bottom hiding in the sand along with some lovely fish. We loved secret beach-went there 10 out of the 14 days and hardly ever had to share the beach with another human. We did have some marine visitors. After a storm we saw a 6 foot shark very close to the shore-about 1.5 feet off of the shoreline. We followed him up and down the shore as he patrolled looking for fish. Very exciting. The neighbors said they had seen a 6 foot nurse shark the day before. Also saw some great sea turtles.All and all I just can't tell you how this trip has stayed with us even weeks after returning. I think of the waves often, see my tan fade back into the city white, and remember lounging on the porch reading. I was very impressed with Victor Frankl's book, Man's Search for Meaning. I left a couple books from C.J. Sansom-fictional mysteries based on historical fact set in tudor England 1539.Thank you for opening up your way of life to those of us who are still searching.....We look forward to visiting again. Sincerely, William and Catherine
