I could not ask for a better vacation rental or hosts! They were perfect! The house was beautiful with a porch that wraps around the entire house., beautiful hard wood floors, all furniture seemed brand new, great comfy new beds/mattresses, with a new flat screen TV as well. It is very spacious with lots of amenities, full kitchen with everything you need, plenty of hot water (we had four people showering nightly with no problems), strong and fast wifi signal, and everything very clean. We explored the whole island and were very glad we picked this location...this really is where you want to stay if you want to be near all of the best beaches on the island. Galloway, Deans Blue Hole, Lochabar, and Compass Rose (also called Lowes I believe) were all about 5-10 min away! These four have a little something for everyone (for family, seclusion, sheltered swimming, snorkeling, beautiful sunsets etc.) and were our four favorite beaches on the whole island. Avoid the resort crowds up north..this is where you want to be!! Last but definitely not least...our hosts were second to none. They were available for anything we needed. They went way above and beyond for us and we cannot thank them enough! We did have issues with bags and our airline (Bahamas Air...there was some sort of strike...take Southern Air if you can) however Ramona and Danny set everything straight for us so we could just relax and enjoy our vacation instead of worrying or dealing with the hassle. You just aren't going to get that anywhere else! We are looking forward to staying with them again on our next visit back to beautiful Long Island!

We found the house as described in the web. We felt there being at home, relaxed atmospere, spacy rooms, quiet neigbourhood. Well equipped kitchen, shower outside. Many thanks to Ramona & Dan who helped us getting the perfect start in Long Island. This was our first time in the Bahamas. When we come back to Long Island, we will stay again in Villa del Sol!

Beautiful Accommodations, private, and clean. Ramona and her husband are very charming and personable. The beach is close by and restaurant too.

The owners, Ramona and Danny, were so welcoming, helpful and accomodating. The Villa del Sol is the most comfortable home we have rented, the beds were sooo comfy and linens very fresh and like home! We rented a car arranged for us (very reasonable) and visited one or two new gorgeous beaches every day, many times we were the only people on the beach. We explored every day and in the late afternoon at cocktail time, we used the coolers provided and took beer or rum and snacks to enjoy on the beach...it was bliss! We bought really fresh, caught that day, Yellow tails, snappers and groupers to cook on the outdoor gas grill...best fresh fish ever! The mosquitoes are a bit of a bother after sundown but there was plenty of insect repellent provided. All in all if you want comfort, friendly welcoming islanders, laid back find your own entertainment on the beach, or fishing, or snorkeling, or sleeping, being bone idle in total bliss...this is a place for you. It was a really relaxing and renewing 7 days for us. We will return! Thank you to Ramona and Danny, you are the best hosts.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday at Villa del Sol. The Villa is attractively furnished, clean and well maintained. Ramona and Danny were the perfect hosts. Ramona responded quickly to all of our email questions and Danny helped us with transportation from the airport, getting groceries and arranging our car rental. They greeted us with welcome drinks and took us on an orientation tour of Clarence Town and the south end of the island. We loved the beach at Gordon's for swimming and shelling and even saw a wild donkey on the way there. Galloway Beach had great scenery and good sand for walking. Salt Pond and the two resorts at the north end of the island were beautiful. We were welcome at the resorts to walk around and to have beverages or a meal. Clarence Town had good snorkelling around the coral between the dock and Gems at Paradise. You can use the kayak on a calm day to get there. The restaurants in Clarence Town and the restaurant in Miley had excellent food and reasonable prices. We bought fresh lobster from the fishery in Salt Pond and it was very tasty done on the BBQ. The people on Long Island were very welcoming and polite. People went out of their way to make sure we had a good time. Ena from Clarence Town explained straw weaving, "Beetle" shared some of his sugar bananas with us, the local fishermen explained how they catch fish, the couple who make the shell jewellery in Clarence Town explained their craft and the husband even played a Canadian song on his guitar for us. If you are looking for a quiet and safe stay in the tropics, we would suggest you consider Villa del Sol. (Just bring a little bug spray for the sand fleas that come out at dusk.)

The property is fantastic, the hosts are brilliant and the warm Bahamas breeze completes a truly relaxing escape. Danny and Ramona went the extra mile every step of the way in what was a last minute getaway booked literally at the last minute. Ramona and Danny not only collected us from the airport to take us to their beautiful property but they organized our return flights from Long Island back to Nassau, organized a rental car to be waiting for us at the property on arrival and furthermore greeted us with champagne and the local Conch Fritters on arrival. The house itself is immaculate; clean and spacious with everything that you will need including air-conditioning if required or let that great Bahamas breeze blow through the house. We stayed for 3 nights. You will need a car on this island if you wish to explore and Ramona will organize one for you which you can fix up with the company on arrival. There are some lovely and interesting places to visit on Long Island. We recommend "Blue Hole" nearby at Deans, dinner at the small cafe at the marina right near the house, driving north to Cape Santa Maria to swim, have a drink and watch the sunset and also heading south to Gordon's beach for hours of uninterrupted relaxation in a truly amazing and completely deserted beach paradise. This place is absolutely worth the short flight away from all the resorts, noise and casino lights on Nassau. It takes you to the REAL Bahamas and what the islands should have always been; beautiful, warm, friendly and worry free.

We could not have been happier with this house. I honestly do not have anything negative to say. The owners, Danny & Ramona, we so hospitable, welcoming and were always there for advice about the island. They met us at the airport when we landed and organized our rental car to be waiting for us. We then followed them to the house and were given a brief tour of the island along the way. It was a great was the get a quick introduction to the island. The house was amazing! The house and all the furnishing are all brand-new and it showed. We had 6 people staying in the house and did not feel at all cramped. We used both the pull out sofa and the roll away bed and both were quite comfortable. The kitchen was equipped with all the basic dishes and cookware. The bathroom was quite large and very clean. There were plenty of towels and they even offer a complimentary towel cleaning service every couple of days. I would have to say that the best part of the house is the fresh ocean breeze. The house had so many windows and door that the Air Conditioner was not necessary. It is so great to be able to have all the windows open and listen to the ocean from the living room or the amazing porch that circles the whole house. As I said before I can't think of a single negative thing about the island or the house. It was just an amazing vacation and the perfect vacation home.
