Nassau & Paradise Island Vacation Rental townhome

This rental was a beautiful Bahamas getaway. We had 7 people and although it was a little cramped when it was time to sleep, we all had a great time. The home is well maintained and kept in good repair. The colors are beautiful and beds comfortable. TV's in every room insures that everyone is happy.
It was wonderful to have great snorkeling and a nice beach within steps of the home. The pools were beautiful when cleaned, but had a tendancy to become "green" every couple of days. However, we still loved to swim in them. The best snokeling was off the rocks outside the livingroom deck. Snorkeling off the pier was random, some days good, some not. Trash seems to accumulate there after storms.
Barbara was very nice and met us the first day to go over the house. Although housekeeping was supposed to be everyday (expect Sundays and holidays) it wasn't. We saw Barbara two times and she did a great job cleaning when she came. We had another lady come one day but she only vaccumed and stayed maybe 15 minutes. So for 9 days we had housekeeping 3 days.
The owner, Bert, was very nice. When we had trouble with the air conditioning, he let us know how to fix it immediately. He also invited us to his club, which was a wonderful day. We can't thank him enough for his hospitality.
The location is relaxing and away from the usual tourist traps. However, because you are out from the town, dining choices are more limited unless you want to drive. I would recommend a rental car unless you want to stay home and cook. The #10 bus does pick-up right outside the gate and is convient for small groups, but a little more difficult if you have larger groups. Most dive companies and tourist companies have vans to pick you up for activities.
Overall, I would recommend this place for people who want to relax and enjoy the beautiful ocean. This place is good for people who like snorkleing and enjoy simple pleasures. If you like fancy hotels and an exciting nightlife activites, you should stay closer to town or on Paradise Island.

we enjoyed the house. It was very safe, confortable and clean. We appreciated all the amenities in the house, and the two swiming pools, as well as the easy access to the beach. We will recommend this property to our friends.

My husband and I and our friends were looking for a condo that was on the water and close to the major resorts in Nassau. We were very pleased with our stay at the Tranquility #2. The ocean is right off the back deck, and a lovely swimming beach is only a few steps away. The condo was clean and well-equipped, including a beach umbrella and chairs, and items for a baby. Bert was helpful and the taxi driver was readily available. One minor inconvenience was that we occasionally had problems with the A/C in the 3rd bedroom, but after the sun went down in the evening it would kick back in. This was a very affordable and very nice alternative to staying at a huge, all-inclusive, expensive resort. We were very happy with our choice.
