Best Birthday Vacation Ever!
Review Submitted: November 25, 2009
Date of Stay: November 2009
First I would like to say Thank you for helping me have one of the very best birthdays to date! The Tranquility II really exceeded my expectations. Bert was very quick and professional with responding to my inquiries and placing my reservation. Barbara greeted us when we arrived and she was extremely and helpful. Bert really hired a great person to oversee the property. The phone wasn't working, but Bert had it fixed immediately. The townhouse includes a Vonage phone so you can make free calls! This is great so you don’t have to worry about huge charges on your cell phone or buying phone cards. The property grounds were very well kept and gated. The unit itself is very clean, tv's in every room. There are DVDs, cd player, and an XBox for entertainment. The only thing you need to bring is food to stock the pantry. We grilled out one of the nights on the patio and watched the sunset on the ocean as we ate. The pictures represent Exactly what this place looks like and you will not be disappointed. The bus stops right in front of the property; it's the #10 ($1.25 per person each way) and it goes into downtown Nassau on Bay street where you will find the famous Straw Market (you can buy trinkets and bargain for merchandise), diamond dealers, Starbucks, a couple of banks, Pharmacies, and other stores. A few minutes before the market is a place called the Fish Fry where there are local restaurants that sell the best seafood, steak, and chicken. We ate at a place called the Twin Brothers and it was delicious. If you get there before 4pm, they have a very reasonably priced special (lobster tail for $14.99!). You can also ask to be let off at the Food Store to buy groceries. Once you get into town, you can walk behind the straw market and pay $6 round trip per person to take the Ferry to Atlantis Paradise Island. After being at the tranquility property, Atlantis was boring! I am so glad we chose to stay at Bert's property instead of at Atlantis. It was fun to go to the casino, however.
Tips: Bring plenty of money for groceries. The Bahamas is expensive and eating out is going to cost you a lot. If you go to the straw market, do not accept the first price given. All of the merchants sell the same items, someone will sell it to you for the price YOU want to pay. The citizens are very nice and always provide great service so it is good to tip them, but they will not insist you do like on other Caribbean islands like Jamaica.

Excellent Condo

Tranquility Nassau 2 was a lovely condo convenient to the ocean and pool. A bit far from downtown Nassau, but a quick jitney ride took care of that. Don't expect to take a jitney after 6 pm, however. Taxis will be needed for nighttime fun (expect to pay $30 each way for a ride downtown).
All in all a lovely clean condo with maid service. What more can you want for a great vacation?!

Beautiful bahamas getaway

This rental was a beautiful Bahamas getaway. We had 7 people and although it was a little cramped when it was time to sleep, we all had a great time. The home is well maintained and kept in good repair. The colors are beautiful and beds comfortable. TV's in every room insures that everyone is happy.
It was wonderful to have great snorkeling and a nice beach within steps of the home. The pools were beautiful when cleaned, but had a tendancy to become "green" every couple of days. However, we still loved to swim in them. The best snokeling was off the rocks outside the livingroom deck. Snorkeling off the pier was random, some days good, some not. Trash seems to accumulate there after storms.
Barbara was very nice and met us the first day to go over the house. Although housekeeping was supposed to be everyday (expect Sundays and holidays) it wasn't. We saw Barbara two times and she did a great job cleaning when she came. We had another lady come one day but she only vaccumed and stayed maybe 15 minutes. So for 9 days we had housekeeping 3 days.
The owner, Bert, was very nice. When we had trouble with the air conditioning, he let us know how to fix it immediately. He also invited us to his club, which was a wonderful day. We can't thank him enough for his hospitality.
The location is relaxing and away from the usual tourist traps. However, because you are out from the town, dining choices are more limited unless you want to drive. I would recommend a rental car unless you want to stay home and cook. The #10 bus does pick-up right outside the gate and is convient for small groups, but a little more difficult if you have larger groups. Most dive companies and tourist companies have vans to pick you up for activities.
Overall, I would recommend this place for people who want to relax and enjoy the beautiful ocean. This place is good for people who like snorkleing and enjoy simple pleasures. If you like fancy hotels and an exciting nightlife activites, you should stay closer to town or on Paradise Island.

we enjoyed the house. It was very safe, confortable and clean. We appreciated all the amenities in the house, and the two swiming pools, as well as the easy access to the beach. We will recommend this property to our friends.
Great Place to Stay near Nassau

My husband and I and our friends were looking for a condo that was on the water and close to the major resorts in Nassau. We were very pleased with our stay at the Tranquility #2. The ocean is right off the back deck, and a lovely swimming beach is only a few steps away. The condo was clean and well-equipped, including a beach umbrella and chairs, and items for a baby. Bert was helpful and the taxi driver was readily available. One minor inconvenience was that we occasionally had problems with the A/C in the 3rd bedroom, but after the sun went down in the evening it would kick back in. This was a very affordable and very nice alternative to staying at a huge, all-inclusive, expensive resort. We were very happy with our choice.

Overall, my wife and I were very pleased with our stay and we would definitely recommend it to anybody, and have already done so.
It is rare when one of the only complaints you can think of is the fact that the ocean is so close that it occasionally gets a bit noisy on the deck!
This spot is a little bit away from the downtown area, so you will need to rent a car if you don't like to ride the jitneys. Myself, I found the jitney rides very entertaining.
The townhouse was very clean and the owners and staff very helpful. No complaints there, other than the occasional ant, which seems to be a Bahama-wide issue.
I wouldn't really recommend this place for young children, since there are not a lot of local activities, other than the pools, and so you'd need to travel a lot. But older kids would be fine.
The onsite pools were not fantastic, but it didn't stop us from using them. The beach area was definitely below par, but there are lots of nearby beaches within walking distance.
All in all, a great place and a worthwhile stay. We'd do it again.

We had a great stay at Tranquility Nassau 2. The condo was very clean and comfortable. We were traveling with teen age children and it was nice for us all to have our own space. All the rooms have their own TVs and there was even an xbox and other games for them to play when we had down time. The view from the balcony is nice and bus service is just a few steps away. One of our party was on crutches and he didn't mind the walk to the bus. The owner was very hospitable and we were treated very well. When we arrived we were even driven around to pick up groceries and beer. Over all a nice quiet place to stay.
Awesome Sunsets!

We chose Tranquility 2 for a one-week family vacation, and it was a great choice! We were a group of two couples and a child, ranging in ages from 60-something to 7, and we all enjoyed the townhouse tremendously! What we liked best were:
Location:
- The unobstructed sunset views from several locations in the townhouse were awesome!
- The #10 bus stop is located just outside the front entrance to the development. The buses were clean and ran frequently - we generally waited less than five minutes for a bus.
- Both the townhouse as well as the entire development are in a quiet location.
- The Poop Deck restaurant, located right outside the front entrance to the development, serves excellent food.
Features:
- There are two pools overlooking the sea, a sandy beach, and a pier. There is good snorkeling around the pier.
-The townhouse was immaculately clean, and the grounds were nicely landscaped and kept clean.
- There were numerous entertainment options, including 4 televisions, a DVD player, Xbox, CD players, radios and board games.
Hospitality:
- Bert, the owner, was extremely generous and personable. He recommended several activities and was very knowledgeable about the Bahamas.
- Barbara, the property manager/housekeeper, was also a real gem. She was exceptionally flexible and accommodating.
We highly recommend this property!

Our family spent a great week in this beautiful, tranquil property. What you see on the web is what you will get, a nicely decorated and newly furnished and renovated townhouse directly at the ocean. The townhouse is well equipped and provides you with beach chairs, sunumbrella, beach towels and games for evenings on the ocean front patio. The residential area was very quiet, has beach access and two pools. Sometimes we were the only ones at either beach or pool, so this is a great location if you seek distance to the crowded hotel beaches or Paradise Island and enjoy to relax. Depending on the currents, the beach may get a lot of seaweeds and it is with about 600 feet not a walking beach, but this does not matter when you are there alone. The supermarket is about 10-15min walk, or you take a jitney. A car is not really needed.
Bert was of great help and organized us the transfer to the airport and provided us with insights about the island and what things to do or not to do. The Ardastra Gardens with the parrot feeding are nice for little children.
