So Beautiful and Relaxing
Submitted: April 16, 2013
Stayed: April 2013
My husband and I have stressful jobs ( who doesn't?) and we were looking for a place to relax and reconnect. Adagio Beach exceeded our expectations. We awoke each day in our pretty bedroom with a beautiful view of the sea and fell asleep each night listening to the crashing waves.
We were able to walk on the beach for miles during low tide on the sand bars. The contrast between the white sand and blue green sea is spectacular....breathtaking!
The beach cottage is absolutely charming and filled with beautiful artwork. It is stocked with everything you need including satellite tv and wifi. The cottage is located about 45 minutes from town. Just perfect for us as our goal was to "get away from it all." in fact, we laughed and said it was our own private "Blue Lagoon.". There are two places close by to enjoy a dinner of fresh fish and the proprietors are colorful and friendly characters. If you want more action, you can travel to Freeport to shop and dine out. In my opinion, the best of both worlds!
Del and Bill were extremely helpful. We received emails prior to leaving giving us information on car rentals, where to pick up groceries, and travel tips. They were available to us for any questions during the week but left us alone to explore and enjoy their slice of paradise. They provided everything we needed, beach chairs, a hammock to lounge in, gas grill and even a fire pit on the beach.
I will always remember my trip to Adaigo Beach and will remain thankful to Dell and Bill for sharing such a magical place with us.

We were looking for a quiet place where we could escape cold weather and really relax. Adagio was ideal. We woke each day with a view of the ocean. We saw almost no one. It was an easy drive to town to get groceries. We rented a car from Millie's, and that worked out well. The cottage was private, clean and modern. We had a great escape from our over-busy lives. Nothing could have better.

My husband and I stayed for a wonderful week at Adagio Cottage. It exceeded our expectations. The cottage is beautiful and well-maintained. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. The owners are also very warm, gracious and helpful. We loved our stay and can't wait to go back and enjoy the crystal clear water and soft sugary sand of the deserted beach. If you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy your significant other, this is it. You can grill a wonderful meal and enjoy it on the porch with a beautiful ocean view and no one to bother you. The half-hour drive into town isn't that bad, but staying in is so much better.

Wow, what can I say. Over delivered on every front. Air conditioned beach house 200 feet from the water, telephone, internet and satellite tv. Fully featured kitchen and fantastic master en-suite. Nearest supermarket 20 miles away, but nearest beach diner/bars a mere 2/3 miles away. A car a must have. The owners are next door and offer just the right amount of help and advice. They even let me put ham radio antennas and wires up with encouragement and support. Saw few other people on the beach. I will be back !!!

Our last stay was just as amazing as our first. My wife and I were engaged in the Bahamas 3 years ago and while we have stayed at various places we continue to come back to the paradise that is Adagio. We love the worlds best beach that runs for miles. Being to various places in the world I have never seen a beach and sandbar as amazing as it is at Adagio.
If you love getting away for a romantic getaway or just to relax and get your mind reset to a more manageable pace this is deffinitely the place.
Dell and Bill thank you very much for another amazing stay in Paradise and congratulations on the rennovations the place is looking better then ever.
Until next time........... Chris and Jen

We got to spend a week of relaxation and fun! I got to spend a week playing radio! This house is perfect for a long getaway and a place to unwind. Over the week we stayed at the house, we encountered four people on the beach. Most days it was miles of vigin beach and solitude. On a clear night, the star gazing is amazing!
You are about 25 miles from the big towns, and that suited us just fine. There is a gas station (with some food items) if you forget something. The cracked conch and cracked lobster at Bishops (five miles away) is incredible!
I got to play ham radio and the location is amazing. Very quiet and secluded. Lots of good signals! I left an HF6V vertical for others to use. Enjoy and take care of the antenna for future visitors.
I'd recommend Del and Bill's place to anyone who'd like to totally get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Enjoy some quiet time on the beach and relax in this beautiful cottage!

The Perfect Vacation
Submitted: June 7, 2011
Stayed: May 2011
Wow! The perfect vacation - didn't want to leave. We loved being able to get away from the hustle and bustle of "touristy" areas and just listen to the gentle ocean waves. I pinched myself every single time I went out to the beach to make sure I wasn't dreaming. Stunning clear/turquoise water, white sand and absolutely no one around on the beach. Like having our own paradise. Very nice to have a king sized bed, comfy pillows, in-house laundry, internet and fully equipped kitchen and bbq. The grocery stores in town have everything you need (and very well-priced liquor) and the Bahamian people are friendly and helpful. Bahama John's beachside grill is a short 15-minute drive away if you don't feel like cooking, and he boasts the best ribs on the island. A gas station 3 minutes away carries any items you forgot at the grocery store and while we didn't sample it, the food in their little "restaurant" smelled delicious too. Adagio's large screened porch provides the perfect place to enjoy your meals while looking out over the lovely yard and out into the ocean. The ocean is full of treasures to be seen and enjoyed - we saw several manta rays, a seahorse, a barracuda and crabs galore. The yacht club is about 20 minutes away if you want to look at gorgeous boats and enjoy lunch. At the other end of the island, Paradise Cove has beautiful snorkeling along a coral reef - worth the drive but on our last day a local told us that the reef just down the beach from Adagio is the same if not better. All the comforts of home with a beautiful private beach just steps away... we loved Adagio!!

Caveat emptor
Submitted: February 27, 2011

I have rented several homes through VRBO in the US, Mexico and now the Bahamas and this was the first time I felt that the rental was lower quality than I expected.
The beach at Adagio is fantastic, particularly at low tide when you can walk for miles. We had a magical moment at sunset one evening as we watched a dolphin swim by in the clear water. But the accommodations are NOT in great shape. One bathroom is old and cruddy, and the other is so small that the sink is in the bedroom. Bedrooms close with very noisy folding plastic doors, limiting privacy. While the photos on the web make the house seem minimally decorated, in reality every wall is jammed with the owners' artworks. Be warned that you are staying in her gallery - so make sure you like her artwork before you book the house.
Finally, be aware of how remote the location of the house really is - you are looking at about 45 minutes drive each way to town for a meal or to the grocery store or any other services.

Owner's Response: Dear Diane; Glad you had a magical mother/ daughter moment at Adagio! As you say, the beach at Adagio is fantastic, particularly at low tide when you can walk for miles…and, that you had the opportunity to watch a dolphin swim by in the clear water was truly magical. You are correct. Adagio Beach Cottage is out of town away from the tourist crowd. It seems to be what most guests find as a big plus. The open concept of the rustic cottage and its large deck, we have been told, provides an airy island living feeling to Adagio… and yes one is staying in our Island Art Gallery, again said to be a pleasant native touch. Thank you for your visit.

Best vacation ever! We were looking for a romantic and relaxing vacation to escape the horrible Canadian winter and that is exactly what we were treated with. We enjoyed the private white sand beach and walking out at low tide and snorkelling in the coral reef just off shore. The cottage was very well kept and outfitted with everything we needed. Del and Bill were amazing hosts and Adagio is so much more fun and has so many more benefits than staying at a resort. Waking up every morning to the ocean breeze and amazing sunrises was something we will remember forever. I recommend getting a car to explored the island like we did. We found all the locals to be very nice and we felt quite comfortable, safe, and relaxed everywhere we went. The Grand Bahama Island life is something special!
