11 Reviews of Property 377261 on Nassau & Paradise Island, Bahamas

My family and I just returned from a week's stay at SeaBreeze. With 5 teenagers, finding a place that's comfortable for everyone can be a challenge, but Seabreeze was a definite hit. The house is exactly as pictured, clean and comfortable. Shawn was friendly and helpful and our entire stay was wonderful.

This house is wonderful, and Shawn is a great guy! We were worried a little before arriving, but upon arrival we were very pleased with everything. We held our wedding on the front steps, and the house was a wonderful back drop for the wedding photos. We decorated the columns with island colors, and it looked beautiful. The bus route comes by the house, so getting around the island is easy and cheap. 1.25 per person. The sunrises are awesome, and the water is wonderful. A nice place to snorkel on the beach with many little tropical fish. We grilled almost nightly, and we purchase fresh fish and lobster right on the beach. Delicious!!!! We sent Shawn some wedding photos.....great home for staging a wedding.

Thanks Shawn!!!

This townhouse was in a peaceful residential area away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown. The ocean views are incredible and having a sidewalk to enjoy walking each morning was an added bonus. There were two families and we had plenty of room. Sean was very accommodating and so helpful from telling us some great restaurants to eat at as well as activities to enjoy. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back again.

Like the title says, this was our first vacation rental experience and I want to thank Shawn(!) for making it a trip my kids and I will always remember! I have to admit that I was initially a little worried about the process but I can assure you that this property is a great value and Shawn will do everything that he can to make your trip as pleasant. The property is clean, well maintained and exactly as it appears in the photos. I was a single dad traveling with three kids so this house gave us exactly what we were looking for (namely beds for everyone, a kitchen, proximity to the water, and Dominoes and Wendy's a short drive away... after all, it's vacation and who wants to cook every night?). Some other general thoughts:
- This property is not located in a part of New Providence that is known for tourism. So if you are looking for resorts and amenities, you should be aware that you are a 15 min drive away from downtown, Paradise Island, Atlantis, etc. For us this was a plus.
- I'd recommend that you rent a car. Shawn can recommend drivers, if you prefer (we used both Dave and Steve and they were great!). But it's just much easier to have your own transportation. Even though they drive on the wrong side of the road down there, it's very easy to get the hang of. Wendy's, Dominoes and the grocery are just far enough away that a car makes it more convenient. (all are located on Prince Charles Dr). It's also easy to navigate the island although traffic can be bad at peak times.
- The beach across the street is very good. This isn't a resort beach so don't expect it to be raked and pristine. But the water is shallow for several hundred meters in all directions (at low tide) and the snorkeling is very good (perfect for first timers). We found lots of starfish, saw fish of all varieties and even saw a couple stingrays (one was quite large!). We even saw a small nurse shark sleeping in the rocks to the southeast of the house. I highly recommend you bring your own snorkel gear and that you have swim shoes as the local beaches can be rocky. The beach is popular with the locals. Everyone was very friendly and engaging
- Shawn can recommend a number of activities... planning ahead is key as many of the activities are booked up weeks in advance by the visiting cruise ships. (BTW, if you are going to visit Atlantis, I recommend booking a room at the Comfort Suites. It gives you full access to Atlantis at a fraction of the cost of day passes)

This relatively new property was clean and well maintained. Waking up to a view from the main bedroom window of the sun rising over the sea was a special treat. The owner was forthcoming, helpful and easily contactable. The listing description and photos are accurate. To enjoy this property it would be better to have your own transport, although one needs to be aware that the traffic in the centre of Nassau is tricky and time consuming considering tha tone is on a island. The property is ideally located for day trips to Paradise Island ( Atlantis) which we thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend. The diving is also good. One needs to be aware that downtown Nassau is very tourist orientated and caters mainly for all the cruise ships that dock daily. Parking is scarce but taxis are good to and from town to Paradise Island. Yes, we would recommend this property to friends and relatives looking for value-for- money accomodation for 6-8 people - all beds are double beds!

Shawn was great to work with! We were skeptical at first but no need to be. The town house was modern and clean just as in the pictures. We did not realize that there was a fairly busy road between the town house and the beach but it wasn't to bad. We got to see a beautiful sunrize each morning. We had Steve as our personal taxi for the week. He was awesome. This was well worth it because it takes longer to navigate around the island than one might think, it's busy at times and most speed limits are only 25 or 30 mph. Bring plenty of cash for this reason, the taxis do not take credit cards. All in all a great island and a great place to stay.

We arrived at the property to find it almost exactly the same as what we thought we were renting. It's a split design containing two nice and comfortable units. Shawn was very prompt and helpful with our plans even before we arrived in Nassau. Our neighbors (east unit) were using a private taxi but we felt more independent as we had rented a van for our group of 6 adults and an infant. The property has spectacular views and I would highly recommend that you go into the water in front of the property, it is shallow, you can walk for 100's of feet and still be in waist deep water. Grocery stores are 5 minutes away on Prince Charles and it is only 15 minutes from Pradise Island or downtown Nassau.

The views are so good from the property that you will usually find cars parked across the road during the day to take in the view. Initially my daugters didn't like this but later on they accepted it. Water pressure from the city supply is sometimes slow in late morning early afternoon which makes taking a shower interesting but other than that you will enjoy the clean and spacious bathrooms.

Overall, I would give very high marks to Shawn and his property. And if we were to go back to Nassau we will certainly consider staying at the same place. I have no issues in recommending it to others.

Our experiences at Seabreeze Beach House far exceeded our expectations! From the time we contacted the owner - Shawn - till the time we boarded our flight home, the vacation could not have gone any better! Coming in not knowing anything, Shawn's courtesy and assistance to make our vacation great, made us very comfortable and was more than we could ask.

The home is located about 10-15 minutes from Atlantis. Located right on the water, the views of the ocean, the sunrises and the ebbing and flowing of the tides were picturesque. The home is clean and well maintained. Do not have any reservations about selecting this home for your Bahamian vacation.

There were 6 adults in our group..........there was more than enough space to be comfortable,......the area is safe..........and its a beautiful location.

Upon our arrival, Shawn was present to make sure everything was in order for us. ( It was!) He was there upon our departure to say good bye and to make sure everything met our expectations.

During our stay, we also met David, who was extremely helpful to our vacation and a delight.

Our family misses these two fine, courteous men, very much and they will make your vacation special. We think about them often. Thank you, Shawn and David, for helping us make great memories of Christmas and New Years in the Bahamas in 2011!
