Quite a find

If you’re looking for a quiet beautiful place to relax and enjoy time with family and friends, this is your spot. It’s rare that a rental home is even better than the pictures, but this place exceeded our expectations. Our experience with the owner was the best we’ve had, and his on-site hostess was super helpful. We’ll be back.

Great location

We had 4 weeks at the property and it was ideal for us. It has a great view of the sea and all that you need might need. It was very peaceful during our whole stay. Would definitely rent it again.

Grand Bahama Family Vacation

The house was lovely and very well stocked. The setting was beautiful-at the edge of the beach. The large porch was a great asset. The host had been helpful before arrival and the house manager welcomed us warmly

We missed the boat

My wife and I visited this property when it was for sale a few years ago. We decided to pass at that time and stay in the US. We knew we would be back soon and try to stay here, and we did. We mutually decided that we missed the boat and should have bought this perfect house. Luckily the new owner is gracious enough to let others enjoy the house and surroundings and we will be back for sure. We did not watch one second of TV the entire week and only ate out at 2 of our favorite places, Banana Bay and Dolphin Cove...both of which we highly recommend. We will be back for sure.

Once Again Just Awesome!!!!

This is our second year staying in this beautiful home and we love it. We go to the Bahamas each year to do a community back-to-school event and last year we fell in love with this home and will book it always for our stay. The quiet area, the location, the view, the beach, the owners, and Yvonne were fantastic in all ways and we can't wait to return. The pictures here don't do the view justice it is just awesome! Thanks for everything

Wonderful place on the beach

This wonderful place surpassed all expectations. From booking Dave, the house manager, was very helpful. A lovely lady called Yvounger met us at the airport and looked after us during our stay, and the property itself was spacious, well furnished and, best of all, on the beach. Having breakfast on the balcony every morning in the sunshine, with a view of the sea, was very special indeed.

BEAUTIFUL HOME

Absolutely amazing home, truly was a short walk right to the beach! THe home was well, well equipped for anything we needed! so many dishes to use. The float tubes were a lifesaver as the water was a bit chilly because of the cold snap:-/ But the house was way more accommodating than expected! Large Bedrooms and everyone has private baths. Air Mattress wasn't working but plenty of extra space for the teenager on the couch! Dave and Yvonga gave us great information for the island. Yvonga met us at the airport escorted us to the house and then escorted us to the grocery store!

perfect location, perfect villa!

Beautiful villa few steps away from the beach! Our family of 5 ( with 3 young children) had a wonderful stay! The villa is clean and spacious and had everything we needed It is situated in a very quiet gated community, we spent most of our time outside on the beautiful deck facing the ocean! The owner and manager are very helpful and gave us all the info we needed to make our stay stress free. A car is needed to get around but it is an easy drive and we always felt safe to cruise around the island. We will definitely come back , we had such an amazing and relax time there!

Best vacation ever!!

The house and its location are absolutely amazing. Three large bedrooms each with walk-in closets and bathrooms. Large living room with comfy chairs and long dining room table. However the best part of the house is a wide porch that runs from one end of the house to another with gorgeous views of palm trees and blue ocean. We spent hours on the porch drinking coffee, reading a book in the hammock and eating meals at the outdoor table. The beach was only 50 steps from the porch and was gorgeous - - white sand, blue waters, basically deserted and perfect for long walks. Everything about the house, the beach and the location was perfect for a relaxing vacation!!

Most relaxing vacation

This is an amazing property and wonderful support staff. Great communication. The location is perfect if you want a beautiful, empty beach at your doorstep. Very peaceful and quiet. Amenities and WIFI great. The kitchen is well stocked and the grill looks new. Dave, the property manager, was easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions. Yvounger, the local host, met us at the car rental and helped us get settled. She is a sweet person and quite helpful. All in all, a great operation. The villa is in a gated, very safe, community. In fact, we find the people on Grand Bahama to be very friendly and kind. We always rent a car (a must) from Brads. This is another great business to deal with. The cars are not new, but well maintained. Any issues are dealt with quickly. Driving on the island is simple compared to many other islands, as it is quite flat with mostly straight roads. There are many great restaurants nearby, our favorite is a quick walk down the beach. This was a most relaxing vacation. Do not hesitate to consider this villa if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, relaxing beach vacation.

Wonderful Home and Location

Our family had a fantastic time. Our boys aged 16,14 and 10 had plenty to do with the beach and snorkeling steps away and we spent a lot of time on that back deck. The house is very spacious and feels like a true vacation home and it is exactly as pictured on the site - the beach is steps away and a wonderful view of all. The manager, Dave Kimbrell, and owners have really made it very convenient for travelers, from having a greeter meet you at the airport to being available to answer any questions. Plus, Dave's recommendations of activities were excellent. We highly recommend Bahama Adventures at Taino beach for some sun and water sports and Reef Tours in Port Lucaya for snorkeling and parasailing, among other things. Also, the Lucayan National Park was well worth the trip. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Dave and owners for make it a truly memorable vacation!

Wonderful and Relaxing Vacation Location

The Fortune Cay area of Grand Bahama is the perfect place for a peaceful and beautiful beach vacation. The property manager, Dave was very responsive to our questions during booking and sent us email reminders about COVID guidelines, getting through customs and the check-in process. Yvounger met us at the car rental shop, took us to the house, waited patiently while we enjoyed the amazing view and lead us to the closest grocery store. Be sure to ask her about her guava doff dessert! Delicious! The house was very clean and plenty spacious for our family of four. It is only 40 yards from the beach via a well-maintained walking path and not close to any resorts, so it is never crowded. There are two reefs just off shore with beautiful fish, rays and barracuda to find and watch. We highly recommend walking the beach to Banana Bay for lunch and the Stoned Crab for dinner, which is a 7 minute drive from the house. Also consider swimming with dolphins at Unexso that is down the street from Stoned Crab. It was a highlight of our trip!

EXACTLY what we needed!

We were so happy with this rental, especially since it was our first time using VRBO to book a vacation. My husband and I brought our two small children and their grandmother to Grand Bahama for a week and wanted to have an easy, relaxing, and fun vacation. This house was in the most beautiful spot, and was nicely furnished. The best part for us was it's proximity to the beach, which made it super easy for us to enjoy sand, sun, and swimming fun between naps! (Not to mention the lunch restaurant a short walk down the beach was probably the best restaurant we went to). We felt very taken care of, and communicated with by the property manager and the woman they've hired to assist with things on-island. She was great, met us at the airport and led us around some of the sites before leading us to the house, and then communicated via text with any other questions that came up during the week. The ONLY small negative was that we were told there would be a highchair to feed our baby, but they were unable to find one in time and didn't let us know until we asked about it after being there a day. Despite that, the kitchen was very well-stocked, the bedrooms and bathrooms spacious and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the covered porch, and had dinner out there every night that we ate in. Thanks for helping us have a fantastic vacation!

What a beautiful home!

My family just returned from our stay at the Blue Inn Villa and let me tell you it was wonderful! The house and view were simply amazing. I think this villa has the best view of the beach/ocean! The house had everything you could ask for and more. I have rented a lot of vacation homes all over the globe and this was the best equipped home I've stayed in! We spent all of our time home on the back porch overlooking the ocean. It was so peaceful! The beach right out front was also amazing. We snorkeled on the little reefs every day and saw all kinds of sea life. The starfish are huge! We spent a day at Taino Beach and Gold Rock Beach. Had a blast, but as far as beaches go we all agreed our beach in front of the house was our favorite! It was very quiet and private. Only saw the occasional person(s) strolling by. Dave & Yvounger were great to communicate/work with. Super quick response time and full of information! Yvounger gave us a tour of the house and island upon arrival which helped out tremendously! She even called mid-week just to check in! Whether we were scuba diving, snorkeling, or just sitting on the back porch playing games we had a blast! A lot of great memories were made on Grand Bahama, and staying at the Blue Inn Villa made it that much more memorable! Thanks for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us! David & Shawnna B.

Great week in the Bahamas

Our family stayed for a week in early June--parents and three kids 11 and up. The house was as advertised and in an ideal location on the beach. The view is exactly as it appears on the website, except better in person. We usually had the beach to ourselves for long periods of time, except for the occasional people taking walks up and down the beach. The water was clear, warm, and good for swimming. As others have noted, there are several reefs just to the left of the house, pretty close to shore, that were fun to snorkel around. There are even several areas in the water to the left that are completely free of rocks for those with littler kids. We loved to sit on the porch and had dinner there most nights, looking out over the water. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off the sand. The house was exceptionally clean when we arrived, and had pretty much everything you could ask for: lots of bath towels, beach towels, pillows, etc. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of cutlery, dishes, glassware, pots and pans, etc. The laundry was a big plus too, especially if you are there for a week. Wi-fi worked great too. Did not watch TV at all the whole time, but there is a big screen in the living room. Most importantly, Dave (who manages the house for the owner) was exceptionally helpful from booking through the stay. He answered all of my questions, and was honest and transparent about everything. He kept in touch with emails in the weeks before the trip, with suggestions and information about check-in, policies, activities, and more. Like others, we were met at the airport by Julie, who escorted us to the house, showed us around, and then took us on a brief tour of the area and showed us where the grocery store was. We were looking for a relaxing vacation, and so did not utilize her services or insights as much as some others seem to have, but she was responsive to the few questions we had and always friendly. In summary, the house is great, the location is ideal, and all of my interactions with Dave were positive and professional. If you are looking for a quality home right on the beach and a relaxing vacation, this is a great choice.

Was great, except for the unpaid guests (spoiler alert- house had mice)

House would have been a 5 if not for the mice. Yes, mice (plural). The Good: House is really beautiful.Kitchen has everything you'll need. Beds are comfortable, furniture is cozy.View is tremendous.There is a reef not 30 ft. from the shore. Great snorkeling. Yvounger was great to work with-my kids (2 girls 17&15 and boy 11) liked her instantly. She was distraught over rodent issue. Dave was nice to work with prior to visit & even after when we disagreed on refund. Unfortunately, he had to communicate on behalf of an owner who only communicated thru Dave. I found the whole situation bizarre. The Bad- the reality of my "relaxing beach vacation" came into focus on the 2nd night when my daughters were awakened to a mouse IN THEIR BED. I have video of this. The next day Yvounger brought glue traps. The next night we had 2 mice run into the living room. We managed to trap and kill both. If you're counting, that is 3. At this point my wife is beside herself and each night we had to put towels under each door threshold and hope more didn't get into our beds. Thursday we awoke to one in my sons room. Son slept with parents for remainder of trip (romantic right?). All in all I trapped and disposed of 4 mice.They had an exterminator come out mid week who did very little. Our food remained in sealed bags and off counters the entire week. Everyday was filled with taking inventory each time you walked in a room. My stress level was high the entire trip. Wife's was off the charts. I do believe this was an isolated incident but the fact of the matter is my trip was filled with rodents and not what i expected or paid for. Result: I was provided a gift card for $200 to be used only at the big resort on the island. 3/4 of resort is closed and all but one restaurant so was unusable and i returned it. They offered to put us in a hotel on Thurs but w/ 3 kids and $300 of groceries this was just not feasible. Owner reimbursed me $500 and offered another $500 only after i had to convince them that i wasn't "fine" with what happened. Can you imagine having to argue this point? Also, it was contingent only AFTER a positive review. I told them i was uncomfortable with this and got an email reply from David on owners response-"I was instructed to send you nothing". I was incredibly gracious and kind during the entire experience. I did not get equal kindness or graciousness in return. Just something you should consider as you choose your vacation destination.

A little slice of heaven

Everything was perfect! The house the beach, the weather (and it even rained), the West End Ecology Tour, the car rental agency (KSR) and the house manager Yvoungar all made this trip heaven!! The only thing they could add but I didn’t have to have are beach chairs. This was our second trip so we came prepared by packing wind blown seats for the beach!

Part 1 A view you wont forget and memories that linger

Let me start off by saying , from the minute we booked here, the communication was top notch- Dave provided tons of details and tips that was very useful in planning our 2 week visit there. We arranged for the home assistant- Yvounger to pick us up at the airport. I cant say enough about how amazing she is! Such a pleasant and cheerful individual—she helped us unload baggage, drove us to go get groceries and helped us again get everything in before leaving us to enjoy paradise. The location of this property is amazing. Its fairly central and a only a short walk down the beach to one of the most prettiest areas on the grand Bahamas(Banana Bay restaurant beach). The minute you walk in the home, you are greeted by the most magnificent view that pictures can’t do justice for. The beach is literally 100 feet away! When you visit through, make sure you pull up the daily freeport tide chart and time your walks in either direction down the beach as it will come up fairly far and require you to navigate around it- either in the bush or through the water. However, this was never really a problem for us. Be mindful that the beach area directly behind the house is slightly rocky- but if u go down a bit to the right, there are nice areas to enter ocean and enjoy nice powdery sand beneath your feet. If you really want an experience, travel a short distance to your left- about a 10 minute walk to the beach where the Banana Bay restaurant is located— we did this daily and loved it!! During low tide you can walk so far out that you literally feel like your in the middle of the ocean! The area behind the house itself provides a nice snorkeling spot if your in to that- but paradise cove is thee place to truly snorkel. it’s about a 25 minute drive away, recommend car rental as transportation options are minimal! In general, we felt a car rental was a must! You would be very limited if not, especially if you want to go out to eat, go to the amazing fish fry, gold beach and the National park, etc. Some must things to do: National park/Gold Rock beach, Wednesday night fish fry( outriggers), the market when all the vendors are there( time this when the cruise ships port as a-lot more vendors will be out selling their stuff ), stone crab restaurant for amazing seafood and if you get your fill on seafood- Cappuccinos for Italian is awesome!! House is well stocked and clean. We had one small issue, but was promptly and reasonably addressed! Loved it!

Awesome!!!!!

We have a great time from start to finish. Host advice before the trip was spot on and Mrs. Wood’s welcome was great. My husband asked if I knew her, because she welcomed me like we were family coming for a visit. No words for the view and as many has said the pictures online doesn’t give it justice. There was a full moon and the pictures were outstanding. The entire place was beautiful and easy to find. Banana Bay restaurant was awesome and the beach in front of it was clam with a sand bar to walk on. We had fun chasing the fish as they swam around us. The house had everything we needed and more. It was a quite relaxing place and we can’t wait to return.

Great stay

Magical place---the views are incredible. If you are intimidated at all about driving on the left side of the road do not be. The traffic was not bad at all, and I highly recommend a car to fully enjoy your trip. The Covid requirements coming in were a lot, so I recommend staying at least 5-6 nights to make it worth while.
