A week in paradise!

The cottage was cozy and met our needs. The island and beaches were beautiful. Katt was extremely helpful and very accommodating.
It took us a long time to rate this, because this was such a different vacation than what we've done in the past. It was so relaxing, and so laid back. No schedules, no appointments, we just got to chill out on our own.
We enjoyed scuba diving on Bimini Road--it was excellent, kayaking out to the Healing Hole--we got to experience what we read about in the Edgar Cayce readings about Bimini Island.
The people of Bimini were so gracious and friendly. That was our biggest and most pleasant surprise.
The internet proved to be a little disappointing at the cottage, but by the end of the week, we found we really didn't care! We just went to the Big Game club and got our emails, where we met some interesting characters, so it proved to be a good thing!!
We enjoyed the local cuisine: bimini bread, (thank you Katt for the complimentary loaf of bread!) and one of the local guys introduced to fresh conch, right out of the ocean. He cleaned the conch right in front of us, and we picked up the rest of the ingredients at the local market, and made conch salad at the cottage. We also enjoyed conch salad from the Conch Shack, and would you believe, conch pizza from a local vendor! We enjoyed a gallon of fresh coconut water from one of the locals. We also had frozen lobster tails and red snapper that we bought from some of the local people. It was all delicious! We did a lot of cooking on the grill outside at the cottage.
The cottage was centrally located, and we could pick up most of our amenities within a few blocks. But we decided to rent a golf cart for a few days to tour the island. The island runs on golf carts!
All in all, we would rate this as one of our best vacations ever.

Owner's Response: I have always said that Bimini does not entertain you. You have to experience it. And my goodness you guys did. What more can I add? Thank you for your kind words and thank you for expressing the heart of the Bimini way of life. P.S. I figured out the internet issue. No problem now.
