Photos and Description of the Staniel Cay vacation house rental

Crow's Nest, situated atop the highest point of this sunny Bahamian island, features spectacular views in all directions: sunsets over the harbor, sunrises over the ocean, myriad cays and inlets up Pipe Creek to the north, and a long white sandy beach to the south. On its 18 acres and 1,400 feet of ocean beachfront, Crow's Nest is at the beginning of a beautiful peninsula. The western side of the property fronts a blue lagoon -- with a protected swimming hole, a 200-foot beach, and a gazebo with a view down the length of the inlet. Crow's Nest is a spacious contemporary cottage with 2,200 square feet of living space. The octagonal living room takes advantage of the views. The cozy tropical furnishings offer a peaceful respite from the sparkling azure waters, dazzling coral sands, and abundant underwater splendors. Enjoy reading, listening to music, doing a puzzle, playing a game, sketching, watching a movie, watching the lizards. . . experiencing paradise.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Staniel Cay, Bahamas

Lounge on the porch -- out of the sun; and enjoy the ocean breezes. Dine overlooking the ocean and the peninsula beaches. Sleep in the loft and wake to watch the sun rise over the expansive ocean. Or, sleep in the first-floor bedroom, and wake to views of the harbor and Pipe Creek. The kitchen and bathroom enjoy their own vistas. Crow's Nest is ideal for up to four people. It is a very special place for us. We treat Crow's Nest with care -- and we want our guests to, also. We want you to enjoy Crow's Nest as much as we do. Please call us with any questions you may have. We require a 50% deposit to confirm your reservation -- with the balance due 30 days prior to your planned arrival date. The rental fee is nonrefundable unless we are able to rebook the dates that you reserved. The small island of Staniel Cay offers the rare mixture of a quaint village, Bahamian family island culture, beauty, and tranquility.

The people are some of the friendliest you'll ever meet. Crow's Nest is less than one mile from the village. The village includes the Isle's General store, Pink Store, Blue Store, Mt. Olivetti Church (everyone is welcome), Happy People Marina, a beauty salon, several straw shops, a clinic, All-Age School, a telephone office and tower (with Cingular and Verizon cell coverage), and the Staniel Cay Yacht Club. North of the village are Thunderball Club and Restaurant, Pirate's Trap, and pristine rugged land that's ideal for hiking and exploring. In addition to the Staniel Cay restaurants, you may want to experience dining at some of the nearby islands. The warm waters are crystal clear, with varying azure hues. You'll find an abundance of brilliantly colored marine life in less than fifteen feet of water throughout the cays. Of special note is Thunderball Grotto (so named because James Bond 'Thunderball' movie scenes were shot there).

The grotto is a naturally hollowed-out cay, opposite the Yacht Club. Schools of beautiful and tame fish live there in a setting of colorful sponges and coral. If you visit, you'll swim through a surface entrance to the interior cave that is lit by a hole in the 'roof'. Once inside, you'll discover the 'hidden' passageways out. Several miles farther north is the beginning of the 22-mile Exuma Land and Sea Park, a wildlife and underwater preserve. The park stores many treats for the visual explorer. And an island just south of Staniel Cay is a wildlife preserve for iguanas. Whether underwater or above, the Exuma Cays are spectacular.

Other Activities: Beach combing & exploring beautiful waters & uninhabited islands

The perfect view of the perfect island

Justin122 Boston, MA
Review Submitted: May 22, 2008 Date of Stay: December 2007
Crow's Nest's amazing bluff location will stun even Caribbean regulars. It sits high upon a bluff on Staniel Key in the Exumas. A bluff in the Caribbean? It's true!

The master bed room atop the octogon-shaped house provides 360 degree views across the Keys. The rest of the house has a warm, cozy feeling and is tastefully decorated with local art and natural objects. The rustic feeling of the house is combined will plenty of modern amenities- full kitchen, XM radio, DVD player, etc.

The island is a friendly, neighborly place who know the owners well and treat their guests with kindness and attention. The island boasts three terrific restaurants, a beautiful park with walking trails (which the owners helped to build), and several other beaches, shops, and places to visit.

There is plenty to do on and around Staniel Key. The Thunderball Grottoe, made famous by the James Bond movie, is a fabulous local spot for snorkling, and the Exuma Park nearby has many other diving spots. There are several Whalers and other small boats available for rent on Staniel to explore the surrounding islands.

Crow's Nest sits atop a tropical paradise which is not to be missed!

Crowsnest in August

elissakay Houston, Texas
Review Submitted: August 31, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Our first stay at Crowsnest was absolutely amazing. The place is very well kept (looks exactly like in pictures online) and very spacious. As we stayed in august, the interior rooms were a bit hot during the day as there is not a/c however the wrap around porch that is screened in is fully open to the ocean breeze and you can comfortably read/nap out there all day long if you choose to stay in the house during the day. The nights were much more comfortable in the house and as long as the weather permitted opening the windows for the breeze the upstairs bedroom stays confortable as well... If you are the type to enjoys your AC set to 70 degrees or below at night you may want to rethink an August stay at Crows nest, however, My husband and I slept great at night listening to and enjoying the ocean breeze.

The true beauty of Crowsnest is that it is the highest point on the Cay atop a large hill giving a spectacular 360 view of the beautiful Exuma Sound. I would have to say that at least in August, renting a golf cart is an absolute must as the 1-3 mile hikes to the restaurant/ boat dock, lagoon... (everything else on staniel).. would be very unenjoyable(thats coming from an avid exerciser).

Another great thing about Crowsnest is that the kitchen is fully stocked with pots/pans, placesettings, even left behind spices for cooking. There are plentiful games/cards, a small library of novels and local guide books to look thru, stereo system (we even found a Jimmy Buffet CD in the house), etc. The local house keepers are very nice and helpful and the stores were fairly well stocked the entire week of our stay (basics of course... cereals,cookies bread, lunchmeat, frozen steaks, seasonal vegetables & fruits, condiments... definitely more expensive though) but dont forget to bring your own snorkel gear! I would definitely recommend renting a small boat to "island hop" (consider a slightly larger Boston Whaler if the water is choppy during your stay to ensure you enjoy the boat ride!) Compass Beach, Thunderball Grotto, the swimming Pigs and the "Aquarium" coral reef at Land and Sea park are all sights you wont want to miss!

Your going to love the relaxed feel of Staniel and the ambiance and privacy of Crowsnest.

Pierce and Louise Livingston, AL
Review Submitted: August 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
This was our eighth or ninth stay at Crow's nest. Our stay was excellent as usual as well as the accommodations and experienced no problems. Berkie and Vivian are wonderful hosts and we always enjoy being around them. Isle General store has a good selection of every day food items. We rented aboat from Berkie and explored the islands from Warderick Wells to White Point. Snorkling is must as designated in Pam's notes. An evening at Foul Cay is a wonderful experience but make reservations well in advance. The food was also excellent at Staniel Cay Yacht Club and at Thunderball. Our intentions are return again in mid 2010. Pierce and Louise

Crow's Nest June 2008

sawshea Little Rock, AR United States
Review Submitted: July 28, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
We used this as our last "family vacation" with our daughters, the oldest is leaving for college so we wanted some great memories.The Crow's Nest and Staniel Cay did not disappoint. The people on the island were so friendly and helpful, you could just sit and visit with them for hours. The beaches are amazing, water that looks that it couldn't be real because the colors are so vivid, right from the window.
Definitely rent a boat to see the other little islands, iguanas, and definitely feed the pigs at Big Major! Have the conch fritters (to die for) at Thunderball Restaurant and dine at the Yacht Club at least once. It's a Bahamian cultural experience.
The Crow's Nest is laid out great, there is always an ocean breeze. We were very comfortable and secluded.
With no cell phone, cable or internet, out teenage daughters could have cared less because of the sheer beauty of the island and having much to explore and a whole new culture was fun to learn about. Wonderful place to get away. It was kind of hot at the end of June. We will be back!
