A real Gem in Paradise!

I cannot say enough good things about this condo in Port Lucaya. Our family of five stayed for one week last summer and it was everything (and more) as advertised. The size was perfect for us as two couples stayed in the two bedrooms, each with its own bath, and our 6' 4" son slept on the couch in the living area with room to spare. The place was immaculate, comfortable, and well furnished. The condo is part of a five-unit complex with a very nice pool practically right outside our patio door. While we there we saw only one other occupant, so we had the pool almost entirely to ourselves.
The condo is located in the heart of the Port Lucaya area just off a main street. Our walk to the beautiful beach took about ten minutes. I would strongly suggest renting a car (although taxis are plentiful, if you prefer) to be able to go to the many other beaches on the island including Lucaya Beach (just across the channel from Port Lucaya), and our favorite, Banana Bay, about a ten-minute drive, which has a quaint restaurant serving lunch. Another reason to have a car is for grocery shopping. I would suggest avoiding the City Market(?) nearby as its quality has deteriorated significantly since it was a Winn-Dixie.
Just around the corner and down the street is another great restaurant, Red Beard's Pub, which has great food and service in a funky Caribbean/pirate atmosphere. It is located in the old Brittania Pub next to the Bell Channel Inn. I can't wait to go back. A husband and wife (yes, there really is a Red Beard) run the establishment and they are great people to get to know.
Finally, the owner of the condo is great to work with, welcomes feedback, and is eager to please. I enthusiastically recommend her condo without hesitation or reservation.

Owner's Response: Wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such an awesome review! You'll be happy to know that the City Market grocery store closed a few months ago. A new grocery store, Solomon's just opened there a few days ago. I heard it's fantastic! Can't wait to check it out for myself. Banana Bay is also one of my favorites. Gorgeous white sand beach and great food...and just 10 minutes away. Thanks again, Brian. I would love to be able to accommodate you again!
