I highly recommend this lovely spacious duplex which is in a very beautiful and safe neighborhood in a quieter area of the island. The apartment has full kitchen,a wide variety of books, games and dvds, in addition to very stable wi-fi and loads of cable stations. It was wonderful to have a car to explore the island with. Our hosts Susan and Ricardo were so gracious. Our first night there Susan had prepared an amazing vegetarian meal for us - delicious and what a way to unwind from our trip there. Beaches are within a very short drive. Groceries and other stores close by also. No crazy crowded tourist areas to contend with yet a short distance from from Port Lucaya. Be sure to visit Fortune Beach and Banana Bay Restaurant for a fun afternoon. Both are just down the street from their apartment. We highly recommend the apartment. You will enjoy your stay immensely.

We stayed here for 7 days. The owners were very accommodating and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. They picked us up and dropped us off at the airport. You have everything you need that a hotel would offer like towels, sheets, shampoo, and a hairdryer. Except you have plenty of space, games, videos, and a full kitchen. It was nice to have little things you need like salt, pepper, spices, and other condiments without having to buy a pantry full of items you would only use a little. Having a washer/dryer was great. The bathtubs in both bathrooms were oversized so it was nice to soak after a long day at the beach. Even though we got quite a bit of rain during our stay, coming back to the house made it much more enjoyable. Thank you for a great stay.

We lodged here for two weeks, and it was an incredibly enjoyable time! Everything that is needed to make your stay comfortable is already there. We especially enjoyed staying in a quiet residential area. We're not one for tourist crowds, so it was enjoyable to be away from that and relax. The screened-in porch was probably our favorite are to congregate, but we enjoyed the house as a whole. Also, I'm a huge pillow fanatic, and the pillows were great! The movie selection is copious, and all amenities have been updated. My kids especially enjoyed feeding the chickens next door, and their animals (2 dogs, 2 cats) quickly adopted us . . . . . I have a feeling they adopt every guest that stays here. Having the car was a bonus too. We've already recommended this place to family and friends interested in visiting, and we would definitely stay here again.

My husband and I stayed for one month, and had a wonderful time Susan and Ricardo are friendly and warm. the car was really helpful It enabled us to see and explore the Island. Places to go Banana Bay open from 10-5 great beach and food,. Tony Macaronis on Tiano Beach great fish and view they do Jazz on Sunday the Island is safe and there is no shortage of things to do. The diving at UNEXCO is great the staff is professional and knowledgable. I found the house to be undersold, when we arrived I could not belive how spacious it was, My husband and I are going back next year

We spent six weeks at the guest part of Susan and Ricardos duplex and enjoyed it very much. Because we had to prepone our stay because of US visa issues, Susan and Ricardo even offered us to stay at their side of the house for a couple of days so we could arrive earlier than planned - great flexibility and hospitality!!! Our friends with their three year old girl joined us for the last two weeks and our hosts even arranged for a baby seat for the car (which was extremely helpful to have), toys and other things for the little guest. They showed us how to extract the conch (bahamian sea snail) from its shell and prepare our own conch salad, prepared a traditional dish, baked artisan style bread, tought us how to open a fresh coconut... I could go on endlessly. In a few words: Wonderful hosts! The house is big enough for six people with good media (TV-lots of channels incl. music, Wifi- surprisingly stable and fast for an island location). The screened porch (= no mosquitos) and the garden are very nice, but "nothing" next to the closeby (and other) beaches...GORGIOUS. Fortune Beach is only a few minutes by car (or a little longer by foot) and don't miss Banana Bay Beach Bar just a little further east at the same beach. Our drive to the West End was fun, you can check out some spots along the way (Boiling Hole, Conch fishermen, Snorkling at Deadmans Reef !sandflies! etc.). East End isn't worth the drive in our opinion, but there are beautiful and secluded beaches on the way east (check out Lucayan National Park - caves, mangroves and nice beach !sandflies!). If you want to cook your own meals, you can choose between a couple of supermarkets (Solomons, Butlers, Save-a-lot) but keep in mind that food is rather expensive on the Island compared to the US, so plan a few extra dollars (US$ are accepted everywhere). Gasoline was around 4,90 US$/gallon in January 2013. For our longterm travel budget there were not that many places of interest besides the numerous beaches- but those are pristine and you can walk for miles and miles, Lucaya Marketplace, Lucayan National Park (5 US$) and Deadmans Reef (3 US$). If you are visiting the Bahamas during New Year, be sure not to miss the Junkanoo parade. If you enjoy spending time at beautiful beaches -you will be alone most of the time- with clean white sand and turquoise water and warm weather this is the place to go and Susan and Ricardos house is the place to stay!
