Trip of a lifetime!

What an exceptional location on Great Guana Cay! We have visited the island before, but this was definitely our best trip. Beach Dream is a lovely, perfectly maintained home. Everything was first rate, from the lovely kitchen, well stocked pantry, comfortable beds, great entertainment system, beach chairs, etc. The owner, Grant, kept in contact with us throughout the reservation process, and immediately answered all our questions. Gina, the caretaker, was fantastic, meeting us at the ferry dock, answering our questions and checking on us throughout the week. If you love to snorkel, this is a great location - the best reef in Guana is directly in front of the house, about 100 yds out. It is outstanding, colorful coral, thousands of tropical fish, sea turtles (we saw 15 over one week!), lobster, and even one shark! It was outstanding. We rented two boats from Troy at Dive Guana and spent a day at the marine preserve at nearby Fowl Cay, and had lunch in Hope Town on Elbow Cay - so much fun, and Troy made everything so easy. I'd also recommend having lunch down at Baker's Bay at the end of the island. It's kinda fun to gawk at all the monster yachts owned by famous people (Leo Dicaprio and George Strait's boats - or maybe more like *ships* were there), and the food was excellent. We also dove for conch off of Shell Island and made fresh conch salad (yum!) and fried crack conch for dinner (double yum!!). The house is so close to the settlement that our party of 10 only needed one golfcart instead of the 3 we've had to rent in the past, which saved us a bunch of money. Plus, being so close to Nippers, Grabbers, the grocery and liquor stores was really convenient. That being said, the house is at the end of a remote, charming lane, so it feels private. All in all, we had a blast and Beach Dream was all that was advertised. Highly recommended!
