About Great Guana Cay: Great Guana Cay is a barrier island in the Abaco chain of islands in the Bahamas. The third largest reef sits just off shore. The island has about 150 residents but there are quite a few second homeowners and visitors. Guana Cay is a beautiful tropical island with gorgeous beaches that are never crowded and the color of the water is unbelievable! It is secluded yet has all the necessities. There are a few restaurants and bars, a grocery store and a liquor store. Dive Guana offers scuba diving and snorkeling trips, and they also rent nice 21ft. to 23ft. boats for fishing, diving or exploring on your own. World-famous Nipper’s Beach Bar and Grill has very good food and they are family-friendly with a swimming pool. It’s always fun and people come from all of the neighboring islands to visit, especially on Sunday afternoon for the weekly pig roast. Grabber's Bar & Grill is fun, too and a great place to watch the beautiful Guana sunset. Beach Dream is within walking distance to all the fun

Bedroom Details: All of the bedrooms have been furnished with high thread-count sheets and bedding. The master bedroom has a king bed with French doors that open onto the front deck and gorgeous colors of the ocean. The master bath has double sinks with a shower tiled to the ceiling. The second master also has a king bed with its own entrance into the bathroom that can also be accessed from the hallway. It has a tub/shower that is also tiled to the ceiling. The half bath is located near the third and fourth bedrooms. The third bedroom has a queen bed and the fourth has a bunk bed and a twin bed.

Restaurants and Shops on Great Guana Cay : World-famous Nipper’s Beach Bar and Grill is family-friendly with a swimming pool and consistently excellent food. It’s always fun and people come from all of the neighboring islands to visit, especially on Sunday afternoon for the weekly pig roast. A local character named Milo runs a stand on the main harbour street that offers home-grown vegetables, citrus and lobster tails. Don’t forget Grabber’s for dinner and to watch the spectacular sunsets. Pirate Cove’s Tiki Hut has a daily special for lunch and dinner as well as ice cream. Another option is Orchid Bay Yacht Club & Marina which has a nice restaurant as well as a full-service marina. Island Flavours offers take-home freshly-cooked food Thursday through Sunday including excellent conch salad. Beach Dream is within walking distance to everything, but it’s fun to rent a golf cart for a day or two to explore the entire seven mile island including the Conch Shack and restaurant at the exclusive Bakers Bay Golf & Beach Club.

Grant, Ellen & Lauren@Bakers Bay- You'll love Guana Cay as much as we do!

Beach Dream is a spectacular beach house located on Great Guana Cay in the Abaco chain of islands in the Bahamas. Great Guana Cay has a gorgeous pink sand beach that stretches for miles along the ocean and is never crowded. The house has tremendous views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and a magnificent reef for snorkeling and shore dives is just off the beach in front of the house. There is great deep-sea fishing just beyond the nearby barrier reef which is the third longest in the world. On the other side of the island is the Sea of Abaco known as the 'cruising capital' of the Bahamas due to its calm waters and beautiful anchorages. Beach Dream is conveniently located to all of the restaurants and shops and is just a short walk up the beach from world famous Nipper's Beach Bar and Grill.

See more photos at http://www.GuanaBeachDream.com

Other Activities: excellent snorkeling in front of the house, boating, deep-sea fishing

Golf: A golf cart is needed to access Baker's Bay Golf and Ocean Club at the north end of the island offers lunch and dinner in the restaurant and lunch, appetizers and drinks at the Conch Shack. It is a well-run resort that is newly developed. They allow anyone to visit for food and drinks but a membership is required to play golf at the Tom Fazio-designed course.

Beach Dream is all that we could ask for and more.

I have had the great fortune of travelling throughtout the world. Our preferences are to stay in villas,homes or small bungalow type of accomadations as opposed to large hotels. We also prefer to cook as many meals as possible to cut down on costs. Beach Dream is all that we could ask for and more. The setup for our group of 9 people was very comfortable and open. The setting is perched upon a beautiful sand dune and the beach sand is the softest we've ever encountered. The coral reef right off the beach is about as convenient as could be possible. Our 7 year old son made many swims to the reef and saw all kinds of fish and turtles. My top 3 favorite things about Beach Dreams are, 1. centrally located on the island 2. the onobstructed view of the Alantic ocean 3. the accomodations of the house, very well laid out. If any of these things are appealing to you, I would suggest looking into this spot and making your own Beach Dreams.

Owner's Response: Thank you for the kind words. We are very happy that Beach Dream was everything you were looking for in a beach house with all the comforts of home. It's the perfect place on Great Guana Cay for families and friends to stay together and play together in paradise.... and the view is spectacular!

We hope you'll visit again soon,

We were a group of a 8 and came to Guana Cay for my husbands 60th. We had been to other islands in the Bahamas and none of them compare to this one. The Beach Dream has the best location on the island with an amazing reef directly behind the house. Its two doors down from the famous Nipper's where you can get a local drinks,eat,dance and swim in their pool. The sand on the beach could not be softer and sights are the best. The house was perfect. Nicely decorated and very comfortable. We cooked dinner everyday and the kitchen has everything you need. if your looking to fish,snorkel,relax this is the place to be. We rented a boat from Dive guana and did some island hoping and spearfishing with the Hawiaan sling and caught yellow jack,grouper,snapper and lobster.Our trip was amazing. Thank you Grant for making it so easy. We felt well prepared in knowing everything about the island with all of the information you sent us. We will be back. I don't think Geronimo will last a year before he returns. If I have any suggestions it would be a fish cleaning station but everything was perfect.

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!

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.
