What a great find. This house was everything my family of 5 needed and more. Way more room than we expected. Didn’t realize there was a sofa bed in the very large master. Plenty of room for two families. Ryan met us at the rental car place and got us all settled in. He was great. Everything was very clean and well kept. Loved the pool. Was in it all day and the went night swimming with all the lights off to see shooting stars. Saw 6! We loved snorkeling in the cove. Saw sea turtles and tarpons. The boat was perfect for zipping out the short inlet and spearing dinner. Caught so much fish we only ate out once. Beautiful little beach next to inlet. Got to enjoy the Thursday night summer parade. But my personal favorite was sitting next to the bay window over looking the water reading and sipping my coffee. Can’t wait to return.

We had a great week with my wife and our 12 year old son. Thank you so much for all of the hospitality. The house was fantastic and we enjoyed each day.
All of the restaurants that were recommended were excellent & we all agreed that the best one is right there in the neighborhood, Dolphin Cove. We were really impressed by the food on the island. The boat ran great and we had no issues getting around the island.

This was a fantastic stay; great location, super quiet area, house is clean and comfortable, the boat is a wonderful addition and kayaking the canals was beautiful. Grand Bahama is a lovely, friendly island. I've visited a few times now and have always felt safe and welcomed. If you enjoy gorgeous, near empty beaches, caves, kayaking and friendly locals, this place is for you.

The property was like a home from home for us, we enjoy vacations that let us see the sights at our own pace and this was just what we were looking for
We enjoyed using the boat and had some lovely days sailing round to the local beaches
Bruce and ryan were both helpful and accommodating
It is a very peaceful and quiet neighbourhood but still close enough to bars restaurants etc by car
We noted everything seemed to be 6 mins away lol
Thank you Bruce for being so helpful and speaking with me personally with some questions i had before our trip
I would recommend this villa 100 percent

Beautiful - a little piece of paradise
The property is tucked away at a quiet end of a lane 5 mins from Port Lucaya. Beautiful spot on the canal in a secluded area. Loved watching the fish jump as the sun came up and went down. Used the boat for fishing the waterways and going to spot the turtle who lives in the next canal. Explored with the kayaks too. Everything you need is there for self catering stay and the well stocked supermarket is 8 min drive. Ryan the manager was fantastic, really helpful and communicating with Bruce the owner was a pleasure.

Grand Bahama
Our stay was wonderful! The book could use some updating. I believe it was because of the time of year we went that many things were closed but not due to Hurricane Dorian. Also, Liquor stores are closed on Sunday's!! Overall it was a great trip and Ryan the property manager answered all of our question even though he was a bit under the weather. Thank you Nixon Family!!

Can’t wait to go back!
House is perfect! Communication with Robert and Ryan is perfect!
Ryan is gracious and a wealth of knowledge. He met us at the airport, gave us the lowdown on the area (shopping, where to get bottle water and to stay out of the police station. ;-). We rented a van so we could all travel together, but it was nice to have the Jeep as a back up.
The beaches are amazing, Gold Rock Beach was our favorite. We snorkeled, shelled, walked having the entire beach to ourselves. Great beach for kids! Rented umbrellas from Valentino and he had fresh coconuts that we drank from, a must do! Fortune Cay Beach and Banana Bay restaurant, we rented chairs from the restaurant and the food was very good!
Played golf at the Reef Golf Course, also drove up to McLean town and fly fished with Leroy.
At the end of the day it was so nice to come back to the house, enjoy a beverage while watching the sunset. Night Herons visit every evening, an occasional turtle and to watch the Bar Jacks stir up the water. House furnishings and beds are super comfy.
We hope to return to the Bahamas soon, the people are wonderful and the beaches are gorgeous.

Incredible base for an adventure vacation
The house and property was beautiful. Right on a canal with lots of fish by the seawall to watch and feed. And of course the boat is right there to take us to the reef, and there are kayaks for exploring the canals. On top of that there's a jeep to explore the many beaches and caves on the island. And a private pool! All included in the price of the rental. Bruce and Ryan were responsive, friendly, and very helpful. Loved Lucaya and Bruce's home.

The best maintained house in Freeport with all the toys!
This house is immaculate, extremely well maintained, convenient to everywhere you want to go and the hosts were phenomenal with descriptions on how to work everything and very prompt to answer any questions that we had! We pulled our boat right up to the 50' of dock space they have available and we've loved taking the jeep into town. We took the small boat out to the reef and snorkeled for the day and it runs flawlessly! If you're on the fence about booking this property --- book it now.

Best vacation!
The house was very clean the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed the pool everyday, the house manager was very helpful and responsive. We brought our own food and cooked every night the house was plenty big enough for our family of 6 plus our two year old son. We went on a Sunday to the national park to see the caves and went to the beach we were literally the only people on the entire beach It was great! we hope to be back soon!

Despite the start of the Corona virus in Canada, we decided to make the trip to Grand Bahama in mid March since we would be able to keep to ourselves in this house should it come to that. Considering Bahamas didn't have any cases at that point that seemed like a reasonable decision. We were greeted at the airport by the property manager Ryan, giving us a lift to the house where he showed us all the amenities, explained how to use the boat and Jeep. Ryan was great as he also gave us tips where to go out, shopping, snorkeling and so on. We felt immediately comfortably at home and enjoyed our first few days and explored beaches and Restaurants of which The Stoned Crab is our favorite! Unfortunately, the Bahamian Government decided a few days into our stay to close all Restaurants, businesses and even beaches and we were pretty much confined to the house and pool, but made the most of it. However when all the airlines started to cease operation out of Bahamas we decided to take the last available plane for a long time and go home.Bruce was nice enough to credit the missed days and we will be back in the fall for sure. Amazing place with amazing people! Thank you Bruce and Ryan!Until soon!

We are just waiting at the airport readying for departure. We've had a lovely time. We took many of your suggestions for eating spots: Pisces, Zorbas, Sabor ... Flying Fish was our favorite. We rented a minivan for one day to go east: Lucayan National Park and Gold Rock beach, then headed west to Paradise Cove/ Deadmans cove for snorkeling. We swam with turtles, rays and so many fish. Absolutely beautiful! I swam most mornings in the canal, and we motored around your canal and the one over by Lucaya a couple of times. The boat was a BIG hit. We had a seasoned boater amongst us who loved nothing better than touring thru the canals. We boated over to the beach near the Lucayan market...pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Ryan was terrific! My husband dropped his prescription sunglasses off your dock and Ryan came over to swim down and get them. He provided a recommendation for a doctor to look at my daughter's ears. We all piled into his truck this morning to get to the airport. I haven't ridden in the back of an open truck since I was a kid. This might allay people's misgivings. I would not have known that a hurricane had affected your property whatsoever. My husband became our jeep driver...he became quite adept at driving on the left side of the road. I was the trip planner! I wanted to see the beaches, national parks, eat local fare, snorkel, etc... The Bahamians are such lovely people. It was fascinating to hear their stories of such a terrible storm and their resiliency is impressive. We loved that the market area was so close and we enjoyed many a drink and meal there. We WILL be back!! Cheers,Loved it!Your Bahamas home is beautiful!

Great Find!
We quite enjoyed our recent stay at this property! The house and grounds were beautifully maintained and provided an ambiance that was both relaxing and secure at the same time. We found the added amenities of the boat and jeep to be just what we needed to take our island adventure to the next level! We spent countless hours free diving/spear fishing the local reefs and managed to eat like royalty from the bounty that the ocean provided. Many thanks to both the owners and the caretaker for allowing us this wonderful opportunity. Throughout the whole process they were attentive and helpful. Even the neighbors seemed quite nice! I would highly recommend this rental!

Excellent Experience
Renting this house was an excellent experience. The owner was in contact with us directly in regards to different details about the property. He took the time to continue to email with us and answer any questions we may have had about the property and island itself. The house is gorgeous, very clean and well taken care of. If we needed anything while we were there the property manager was only a phone call away. The owner even helped in setting up a vow renewal for my wife while we were there. We have never rented a house like this before and this truly was an incredible experience. If in the future we find ourselves back in the Bahamas hands down would I rent this house again from this owner. Another huge plus to this property was the house had an alarm system as well as a gate you had to open to enter the property. Just a little extra security which was nice while being in a different country. Overall excellent experience so thank you to the owner and property manager for making my families vacation a great one!

Excellent property
We had a delightful stay. The house is well furnished and supplied. It was very convenient to have the use of the Jeep. Although, the weather made it difficult to get out on the open water during our stay it was nice to have the boat to putter around on the canals. Ryan was very nice and very accommodating. We highly recommend this property.

Great time in Freeport
The house was fantastic and made us feel right at home back in Freeport! Had everything for a family to do, from the use of the boat, swimming in the pool and kayaking. We celebrated Thanksgiving and grilled the turkey on the gas grill and watched the ball games on large screen TV. House has everything for a great stay.
Ryan the caretaker did a great job and was very helpful and booking with the Nixon's was very easy and the info provided for the house explained everything!

My family and I spent a week here recently. The accommodations were exactly as described and suited our every need. The use of the Jeep and CC Boat made the trip so multidimensional that everyone enjoyed something different! Highly recommend a visit

Great property! Great Deal!
We enjoyed staying at this property in the Grand Bahamas. It is a sweet deal with the boat and Jeep included. We weren't able to use the pool, as the weather was only in the high 70's most of the time. We were on the ocean in the boat almost every day (weather permitting). The reefs are great for snorkeling...yes, we endured the water temps, as we didn't want to miss this opportunity! The home has everything a family could want/need. We enjoyed the games the home had available, the outside dining and the use of the grill for the fish we caught. The biggest expense, outside of the plane tickets and home, is the food and gas...very expensive! Ryan and his wife took great care of us and ensured we were well informed and taken care of during our stay. Thank you to the owners for this opportunity! It is a great family memory for us!

Everything one needs for a getaway.
Couldn’t be improved upon. House, pool, Jeep, kayaks, bikes, boat, all 25 minutes from a gorgeous and empty beach. The adults particularly enjoyed the evenings in the outdoor living room overlooking the canal.

Great vacation!
This home is lovely. The caretaker Colyn is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The fact that this home comes with a boat and a Jeep makes it a fantastic bonus! Our kids loved the boat the best and we took it out a lot of the days. Bruce (the owner) was also exceptionally responsive when we had questions or concerns.
We really enjoyed New Year’s Day during the evening parade in downtown Freeport called Junkanoo! It was similar to the Mummers parade in Philly.
Thanks for a great time!

A Great Stay!
We arrived at the airport and found the care taker no problem. We arrived at the house and it was very clean. Myself and four friends headed down there to use the boat provided and go spear fishing. Everything about the trip was great and the owner went far out of his way to make sure our vacation was perfect! Truely a boater's and fishing paradise, but also close to the beaches. Overall, can not say what a great job Bruce did taking care of our group and will definitely be making another trip in the future.

Beautiful house with excellent hospitality!!
This house is amazing. It is in a wonderful location on Grand Bahama Island, convenient to the beach and Port Lucaya. This house is very well equipped and there is nothing you need to bring other than your bathing suit. We loved taking the boat out in the beautiful clear waters to snorkel around the coral reefs...AWESOME!!! It has a great outdoor pool with outdoor dining and a gorgeous view of the wide canal. The inside of the house is beautiful and comfortable...you will not be disappointed with the decor and all of the beds are more comfortable than ours at home in the States!! Just a couple of minutes to the beach and very close to shopping and great dining. Bruce is a great owner and very responsive and we found Colyn the caretaker very helpful and informative with any questions we might have. Our favorite night was sitting on the dock on Sunday listening to live music at "Flying Fish" provided by Chef Tom. We highly recommend this home for a great vacation and are planning on coming back next year!!

Beautiful Home On The Water - Great To Get To By BOAT!!
First off, Bruce was very responsive and professional well before we arrived at his home. My friend's and I have always talked about making the run from the East Coast of Florida to the Bahamas by personal boat for a once in a lifetime fishing trip. Bruce helped navigate to the home by boat and his friend Colyn greeted us with a warm smile as we docked our boat in Bruce's back yard. THIS HOME IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We had breakfast every morning on the patio overlooking the swimming pool and ocean. After breakfast, we took our boat, caught fish, came back and used the grill at the house to cook our dinner. After dinner, we would take the jeep (INCLUDED IN THIS RENTAL) in to town and restock at the local grocery store a few minutes away. The interior is beautiful and pristine. You truly feel like you are at home here. I will certainly be back to rent this home again next year!!

Loved this house!! Awesome vacation in the Bahamas...
Our family vacation to the Bahamas was perfect, everything we had hoped for... and we have Bruce and Kathy to thank for their fantastic hospitality. Their caretaker “Colyn” was there to meet us at the airport and to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our awesome vacation on Grand Bahama Island. The home was beautiful and it had a spectacular view of the huge gorgeous canal. We loved sitting on the back porch with our cocktails and watching the sunset! The pictures on the website were so lovely, we wondered if it would meet our expectations when we finally arrived. MET AND SURPASSED! The location was perfect; so close to Port Lucaya and the ocean just a short drive down the street; the house was charming and so well appointed. There was nothing the owners overlooked. We loved having our own private boat “Bellafina” to explore the island by water and go snorkeling and having the cool Jeep Wrangler to drive just topped off the trip. We looked at dozens of places to stay on the island (resorts, hotels, rentals), and I am so glad we choose this rental. It has been a dream of mine to bring my family to the Bahamas…thank you for making that dream come true.
