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!!

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.

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 calm with a  sandbar 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.

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  were very useful in planning our 2-week visit there. We arranged for the  home assistant- Yvounger to pick us up at the airport. I can't 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. It's fairly central  and an only short walk down the beach to one of the 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 the 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 you're in the middle of the ocean! The area  behind the house itself provides a nice snorkeling spot if you're in to  that- but paradise cove is the 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. 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 allot 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!! The house is well  stocked and clean. We had one small issue, but it was promptly and  reasonably addressed! Loved it!

I stayed here with my 2 sons (22 and 17). We loved the house and  location. The house is lovely and very welcoming. The owners have  thought of everything. My younger son spent hours swaying in the hammock  on the porch while I sat and listened to the waves. My older son  enjoyed morning runs on the beach. The neighborhood homes are within  view but not so close that you feel cramped. Honestly we only saw other  people a few times walking on the paths to the beach. WE stayed in late  July and the cruise ships weren't up and running yet. This contributed  to the quiet but also several activities were closed down. That was ok  with us though - we were looking for laid back, peaceful days. There was  never anyone else on the beach at the same time as us. Loved Banana Bay  restaurant. We spent an afternoon at Lucaya National Park - again did  not see a single soul the entire time. Gold Rock Beach there is lovely.  The highlight of our trip was a customized, all-day ecology boat trip  with Keith Cooper of West End Ecology Tours. We fished (caught our  lunch), snorkeled a small shipwreck and then spent the afternoon at  Sandy Cay with the stingrays, lemon sharks and black tip sharks. My boys  absolutely loved this activity. Our local hostess Yuvonger is a gem as  well. If you are looking at this property, you won't be sorry!

Beautiful Property, People and Location

We  had a great stay at this property! The home is honestly much better  than the pictures represent, it is a 30-second walk to a great beach and  snorkeling area, and the property managers are extremely responsive and  kind.  This is one of the best experiences we’ve renting a property as would  definitely consider coming back!

Perfect location; your own little oasis with easy access to town.  The  layout of the house was wonderful.  Three en-suite bedrooms for privacy,  a huge gathering area with wall-to-wall windows, a full width shaded  porch, and oh! the views!  You feel like you’re in a private paradise.   The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, air conditioning  divine…. You can tell the owners take pride in the maintenance of their  home, which is no easy feat in a salt-air environment.  Dave, the  property manager, was extremely accessible and helpful.  Having “house  fairies” was wonderful….airport pick-up, grocery shopping, trips to town  and restaurants .  Our fairy, Julie, catered a home-cooked Bahamian  dinner for us, and it was wonderful.  Don’t hesitate to stay here!

We just spent 14 days at the Blue Villa Inn and it was just exactly if  not even better than we anticipated. The house is very roomy, the  kitchen very well equipped for cooking if you are so inclined. There are  2 great places to eat and drink in walking distance from the house, via  the beach. The porch is where we spent a good amount of time,  overlooking the ocean and a lovely yard. Internet was fast and made it  possible to work from there. The host and assistants always replied  promptly to any inquiries. We had the best time and hope to return  before too long!
