The Manor of Love is a simple cottage perfectly situated on a quiet strip of beach and removed from the hussle and bussle of town, but close enough to get there easily. Timothy and Linda were fantastic hosts by helping with airport pick-up and drop-off, showing us some local grocery shopping that made our stay very conveneint, and offering some local insights that made our sight seeing ideal for our family. The kids loved snorkeling and playing on the beach and we all enjoyed relaxing under the palm trees.
Better Than A Five Star Hotel but Cheaper

I have stayed here many times on my business and ministry trips to Nassau Bahamas. I am an International Business Consultant and a full time Missionary to INDIA.
This place is serene and gives me time to reflect and think things through.The beach is great for kids and adults taking a walk.
The Innkeepers, Linda & Timothy, are attentive to details which makes
my stays there relaxing.It is spick and span clean. I have stayed in the big Hotels on the island along with the big bills you get when you check out. Here at Love Manor on Love Beach you enjoy Five Star Treatment at a fair price. It is worth every penny. It is close to the Airport. No long drives to get there.
I am always refering my friends to this great vacation location.

Me, my wife and 2 kids (16 and 11 y.o.) spent a week (Aug. 28 to Sept. 4, 2009) here. It was a real pleasure to stay in this house: the place is really wonderful, sand and beach are fantastic, much more than what you can see in the pictures. Out from the confusion of the city, a very quite location, and if you want to relax it is the right place. In the house there is all you need (kitchen, towels, high speed internet wi-fi connection, air conditioned, fans, etc., and even a kayak to go out in the sea), and all works perfectly. A car is needed to go around, since supermarket and restaurants are not at walking distance. The hospitality ot Timothy was great, he gave us a lot of perfect indications on what to do and how, and he also provided us a car at a very good price (much less than rental agencies). It is a pleasure to suggest the house to my friends, and we will be more than happy to come back again! Highly recommended.
Lovely Location

My nearly-adult children (21 and 17) and I spent a week at Manor of Love and had a wonderful time. The beach is beautiful, calm, and relatively quiet (although not deserted as some have remarked). The apartment was just as described -- it was extremely clean and well cared for, there was more than enough room AND it was right on the beach. The kids were happy with the two televisions and wireless internet access. We had a problem with the sewage system the first day and Timothy was immediately responsive and it was fixed within a day. The Trecos and Angela were super helpful and wanted us to have a perfect trip. Love Beach is pretty far from downtown Nassau so access to the van was was absolutely necessary to get around and see everything. It was great to be able to see the different parts of Nassau, but come back to a clean, quiet, and uncrowded place to relax. It was good snorkeling as well. We were looking forward to seeing downtown and the straw market, but it was truly overwhelming. Atlantis is a must-see, but crowded and expensive. The prices in Nassau verge on outrageous, so staying in a place that is reasonably priced and where we could cook our own meals made the trip affordable. We definitely recommend this place for a worry-free and relaxing vacation. Only one suggestion -- new beach chairs would be nice. Most of the chairs were broken and unusable. The airport is very close and we got to know the flight patterns and planes pretty well, but it didn't disrupt our beach enjoyment and we couldn't hear the planes inside the apartment. Thank you for a great trip!
Couldn't have picked a more perfect place to stay!

Absolutely perfect and exactly what we were looking for in our vacation. The accomodations were wonderful! Very nice, clean and loaded with amenities. The location on the beach was amazing. We mostly had the entire stretch of beach to ourselves. And what a beach! The water was still and clear...JUST GORGEOUS!! And of course, the owners were very nice and accomodating. We had rented the minivan, which was very convenient. It was very easy to get to all the tourist spots, including Paradise Island.
The Bahamas has the most amazing food. We mostly ate at the Fish Fry's. Seafood Haven was our favorite. Be warned though, that grocery shopping is very expensive.
We will definately be back!

We rented the place on the first floor July 1 to 8, there 6 of us plus a baby and the place is fantastic. The condo was nice a spacious for 6 people, extremely clean and very comfortable. My father is elderly and had no problem walking to and from the beach. All the pictures are what you get in real life, the only picture that does not do it justice is the beach. The beach is beautiful and was practically deserted when we were there, the water is clear blue and literally less than 500 yards away, seemed very private to us. There is a kayak and volleyball net, the place next door Nirvana also rents snorkel gear but we brought our own. We also reserved the car which came in extremely handy for going downtown to explore the island as well as for groceries. The owner was super nice and extremely helpful. Overall was a great vacation and I would highly recommend the MOL to everyone and would definitely go there again.
Wonderful Time!

My family and I just returned from the Bahamas and our stay on Cable Beach at MOL. It was absolutely wonderful and relaxing. The place had everything we needed and Timothy couldn't have been nicer picking up from the airport. The beach is AMAZING!!! We had the beach to ourselves most of the vacation like your own private getaway. It is true the pictures don't do it justice. We opted for the car rental as well and it was perfect for 6 adults and a baby. It was very easy to get around and explore the island. We are so thankful to Timothy, his family, and Angela for making our stay such a pleasant one! We will back there again for sure!

We had a perfect stay for our group of kids in the Bahamas for the ITF Junior Circuit tennis tournament. The house is clean and has everything you could possibly need. Being right on the beach was great fun! We plan to be back next year - save our week !!!
Love beach, we love it!

Manor of love is well located. The beach is a few steps from the house. Love beach is the best beach of New Providence Island! The scenery is breathtaking! We were almost alone during our stay (2 weeks). The entire beach for ourselves! It is great for young children and seniors. There are no waves and they can walk and play safely into the water. We were 3 adults (including the grand-mother) and 2 young children (3 years old and almost 12 months). The sea is blue and turquoise. Every morning, we walked by the beach from Manor of love to Compass Point and most of the time we didn’t met anyone. Also, we brought our snorkelling gears and we snorkelled every day in front of Manor of love or near Compass Point just in front of the 2 grey buildings. We saw reefs, a lot of type of colourful fishes, rays, lobster, spider crab, squids... and a reef shark (it was a little inoffensive shark, below a rock and didn’t move). The housekeeper came 3 times during our stay, and it was very clean. We rented owner’s van for 2 weeks and it was very convenient. The owner has done his best to respond to all our requests, getting a safety car seat, a playpen for our baby and also a beach umbrella. We missed the beach and the sea! Merci beaucoup à Timothy et Angela ! Manor of love a répondu à tous nos besoins. .
Perfect, non-tourist experience in Nassau

If you are looking for late nights, loud people, flashy Las Vegas-style accommodations, and the corporate fabricated "fun" of Paradise Island, then Manor of Love is NOT for you. If, however, you want a quiet, relaxing time on a beautiful, near-private beach in a waterfront property that is clean, well appointed, and comfortable, then you should really take a look at this place. The owner, Timothy Treco, and his family, are as nice as anyone you'd ever care to meet, and were most accommodating and helpful with all aspects of the rental process and our stay. I felt I was taking a bit of a gamble booking over the Internet a property I had never seen (or had not been personally recommended to me), and I cannot overstate what a pleasure it was finding that upon arrival all was as advertised - and the service was even better.
Advice regarding your stay: 1) Do NOT go to the Poop Deck Restaurant unless you like the name so much you want a shirt with their logo. The prices are high (to be fair, there is virtually no restaurant in Nassau that is not overpriced), the service is moderate, and the food is pedestrian at best. 2) DO go to the Beach Club Cafe - entrees are similarly priced, but the service, food, atmosphere and view are all infinitely better. 3) If you want a uniquely quaint and non-American experience, go to the Ardastra Zoo and Gardens. A little down-at-the-heel, but you get closer (touching distance) to the animals than any any place I've ever seen in the US. Ardastra is particularly good for kids under 12. 4) Check out the Straw Market downtown. You'll only ever need to go once, but it will make you appreciate your own lifestyle when you get home.
