About Angie Blash

Guana Cay has a beautiful beach with a barrier reef full of sea life. Snorkeling right off the beach. Easy access from Florida to Marsh Harbour thru a number of cities and airlines. Ideal quiet town with golf cart transportation. A number of restaurants for evening entertainment on the island. Safe, gated community.

Submitted: April 19, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
Have you ever planned a vacation with 6 people, experienced the vacation, and the only thing lacking was a second bread board to prepare gourmet meals? Slack Tide has it all and more. The listing was accurate, the property was immaculate, the customer service was outstanding, and we highly recommend the area and the property. The pool was a wonderful addition and the beach,a short golf cart or walk away, was practically private, and beautiful as are many, many Abaco beaches. We hope to return!

Slack Tide Review

5 of 5
Submitted: April 1, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My family and I stayed for 11 nights at Slack Tide and loved every minute of it despite a persistent cold front doing its best to ruin our plans.
The house was extremely well appointed and immaculately clean. It was very clear from the moment we arrived that this is a well loved private vacation home and not a normal rental property. The house was also beautifully decorated and had every amenity that we required during our stay.
We rented a boat from Dive Guana for the duration. This enabled us to visit the many local Cays and served as out taxi for shopping in Marsh Harbor, although most basic supplies were available from the general store on Guana.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this house to couples or families.
All in all a fantastic vacation home.
Owner's Response: Thank you David- we do love our island home and enjoy sharing it with others

Christmas/New Year's Vacation at Slack Tide

Amazing is the word that comes to mind when describing this house on Guana Cay. Our family of six booked this home for the week between Christmas and New Year's. The home was beautifully decorated and well appointed. The weather was a little on the chilly/windy side for most of the week, but we had a great time. Our group consisted of my husband, myself and our two adult children and spouses. The three bedrooms with attached bathrooms were perfect. We managed to get out on the boat 3 days, and we visited 3 other islands. Each night we cooked at the house, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Slack Tide is awesome, and Angie provided great customer service from beginning to end.

THIS HOUSE IS A WOW!!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: June 9, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We have been back one day and I am already wondering when I can return! We have stayed on several different Cay's throughout the Abaco's and really liked Guana and the Orchard Bay neighborhood! The beach that is in the Orchard Bay neighborhood by far is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, better than Treausre Cay! You always wonder when you get online and choose a home via the Internet for your vacation if you choose the right one.....YES WE DID AND I HOPE YOU DO AS WELL! I could go on and on about every detail that was thought of when furnishing this house but not enough characters remaining. Thanks to the Blash's for sharing such a wonderful home with us!

Slack Tide- Everything you want and more!

5 of 5
Submitted: May 8, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We heard about Slack Tide from a well-travelled friend and eagerly read the reviews and looked at all the pictures. This was to be our annual family vacation with grown children- lots of R & R and hopefully some great bonefishing. We have stayed in numerous island villas and Slack Tide wins over all others hands down. Being in the hospitality business ourselves, we appreciate all the wonderful things about the house, from the tasteful, complete and comfortable furnishings to the well appointed kitchen. We lacked for nothing. It is very obvious that the owners want you to love the house and the island as much as they do, and you will! The bonefishing could have been better, but the guides were good (out of Marsh Harbor- 20 min. boat ride away) and that's just the way fishing is. Our largest fish was 6.5 pounds, which is still a thrill on a fly rod. We saw fish up to about 7-8 lbs, but they were not biting. the smaller ones were though for all 6 of us. For whatever reason you are coming down for, you will love Slack Tide!
