It was perfect! We loved it!

I can't begin to say how great this experience was for us. Belle was amazing to work with, willing to work with a date change due to my error, staying in communication with me, and just being so kind! Ms Verlene is a delight as well! She was close and so willing to answer any questions we had. Everything stated in the reviews I agree with... convenience to the beautiful beach and a detailed book with everything you need to enjoy your stay! The beds are comfy too! We primarily went to the different beaches but hope to return and try some activities. You won't be disappointed!

If we could give 10 stars, we would! DO NOT hesitate to rent this lovely home from Belle. It is EVERYTHING that the previous reviews say it is, and more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My husband, myself, and our 7 year old daughter stayed a week here, over February break, and we have never been so relaxed and happy any where we've ever stayed. Period. It was perfect. The place is impeccably clean and well appointed. The kitchen particularly is fully stocked and very agreeable to cooking and baking, which we took full advantage of during our stay. There is a grill, which we quite enjoyed, and used several times. The pool out in the shared back garden is the perfect size, and our daughter spent every minute in it that she could. We had it virtually to ourselves, most of the time. Also, there is a lovely dock on the large canal, and a covered gazebo just through the back garden, as well. We spent so much time there, just watching the fish and the water, and relaxing with our coffee in the morning, and G&T's in the evening. The beach is literally a 5-10 minute pleasant walk from the house: go to the end of the neighborhood street (about a city block), cross over the road, duck into the opening in the thick wall of jungle (very obvious), walk along a lovely jungle path, and there it is. We LOVED the walk, as we got to see plants and butterflies, and it felt like it was our secret, private beach, once we arrived. We walked there and back 3-4 x/ day, and were glad of the chance to do it, every time. For an easy breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink, take the same walk to the beach, but bear right along the beach. In about 4 minutes, you will come to Tiano by the Sea, which is a restaurant RIGHT on the pristine white beach, with amazing seating that makes you feel like you are practically in the sea as you dine. Prices are very good, as is the food and service. We highly encourage you to go get a drink and some nibbles there! We LOVED Gold Rock Beach (we rented a car, and it is a 20-25 minute drive) and spent two entire days there....we were practically alone on the beach each day. Belle has a complete and thorough informational binder, in the kitchen. Just do as it suggests, and you'll be as happy as we were. We are planning to return next year, and can hardly wait!!! She is available for any questions, at any time. The property manager lives on site and is kind, warm and lovely as well, and full of information. Thank you, Belle!!!

Belle's condo is everything as recommended by other folks that had stayed previously. It was clean, spacious with plenty of cooking staples, to which we added some additional items. As mentioned the property is well maintained with a pool area and docks. It is located at the end of the street with very little road noise. The most noise heard was from the birds in the early morning and boats later in the day travelling the canal. We had the good fortune to enjoy the newest island restaurant, the Stoned Crab, located at Taino Beach, approximately 1.5 kms away. Great crab! We also had the opportunity to try some of our favourite restaurants the Flying Fish, a perennial favourite and the Sabor. Had a great time at your Condo Belle, thanks for having us and being so patient the first day when we tried to get the TV working. We eventually succeeded, having grandchildren and knowing how they like to fiddle with the TV connections. Truly enjoyed our visit and will return in the future. Alex

Loved the pool & sunny weather! Belle & Verlene very helpful! Had a blast!

Absolutely loved our stay in this Freeport Villa! First off, the accessibility to the beautiful white sand beaches, restaurants, oceanside bars, grocery store and Port Lucaya (only being minutes away) was a huge added plus for us. This villa was immaculate when we arrived and well prepared with everything we needed for our 1 week stay. The house is very well maintained and incredibly spacious- a no brainer for us versus being stuck in a hotel or resort. Multiple televisions and a full set DVD collection was a nice way for us to wind down our evenings with the kids. Another reason we loved this place was its privacy and the fact that it is tucked away in a quiet area- not to mention the spectacular pool in the backyard overlooking the ocean canal. We are so happy to have booked this place and can't thank Belle enough for the experience and recommendations that were provided for us. If you're looking for a phenomenal getaway, you have got to stay here!

Our family had the most amazing vacation here. This island is quiet, relaxing, friendly, with plenty to do! We also felt very safe which is not to be taken for granted when traveling. (We have a timeshare in Mexico but just don't feel safe there anymore.) My husband especially loved the private beach just a short walk away. Walk down Martel Place, turn right on Jolly Roger Dr, cross the street, walk a dozen paces or so, you will see a small opening through the jungle on the left with white rocks on path. It was like going through Jurassic Park for at least 50 yards, then you exit to a private beach. (no pumas or poisonous snakes on island so totally safe!) Clear and calm waters. We also loved Paradise Cove where we swam with sea turtles in the wild. Deadman's Reef was awesome to swim with the pigs and we found some beautiful shells while snorkeling. Belle's condo was perfect! It was spacious for all 4 of us to spread out. Must note that the beds were all especially comfy! We slept so well! Free WIFI in condo worked great. Condo has everything you could possible need: beach chairs, snorkeling gear, and more, be sure to check her list. On the top floor is an office which really came in handy when my son needed to use the printer to print a page to sign for a new job he just got. Belle was very attentive, checking in on us a couple of times and sharing knowledge of the things to do. Use Belle's binder in the kitchen, has TONS of local information for your vacation. Ms. Verlene is the on-site property manager who was there to greet us. She is a sweetheart! There is pool right in the backyard, then a private dock where we watched the tropical fish swimming around! My daughter and I loved relaxing out there. You can charter a private boat to pick you up right in your backyard! These captains offer a bunch of different excursions. Wish we had time to do this, but 1 week was not enough. We did not want to go home, this place felt like home! Well, next time we will try one of the private charters. We were glad we rented a car, best way to get around the island. Book directly on-line with Brad's Car Rental, best prices in Grand Bahamas. Port Lucaya has a bunch of great restaurants and is just a short drive away. Cappucino's had the most amazing Italian food, Agave Lucaya was our favorite for steak/lobster combo at $34.95. (big enough to share) and a nice happy hour. Thank you Belle for your hospitality and sharing your home! XOXO, the Castros

Stop searching. You found it!‎ We have traveled to more than 50 countries and are hard to impress. But, Grand Bahama and this property are absolute gems -great value and best kept secret‎ in South Atlantic / Caribbean. GRAND BAHAMA - Quiet, safe, gorgeous empty beaches, great roads, fantastic food, friendly people, and excellent service - without the crowds. Much better value and more relaxing than New Providence (Nassau) and Turks and Caicos. Weather was perfect: 80F / 26C everyday. What’s more, Freeport is a short flight from North American mainland (just 3.5 hours from Montreal). Our only regret is that we didn't find this place sooner! Skip the crowded, overpriced, and touristy locales and come here and get a real, relaxing vacation for half the price. OMG SERVICE - Belle set us up for success and answered all of our questions before we left. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the wonderful ‘Ms. V’. She connected us with EVERYTHING we needed… best fish markets, restaurants, fishing/snorkeling charters, medical facilities. It was like having a personal concierge! PROPERTY - Town house is short drive (10 mins) from the airport, and yet is a world away. It is located on a quiet cul de sac backing onto inter-coastal canal within short walk (5 mins) to Taino Beach and Pirates Cove. House is private, quiet, modern, clean, very well appointed, and deceptively spacious. It has large modern kitchen and living area with 4 large bedrooms (including a large loft with two double beds and office) and 3 bathrooms over three levels, complete with free Wifi, cable TV, and AC in every room. Everything you need on site...snorkel gear, beach umbrellas, fishing rods, cleaning supplies, cooking oil, spices, etc. Also has AMAZING BBQ/grill (…OMG…we ate so much BBQ). Grocery store (Solomon's) and liquor store (700s) are co-located a short drive (5 mins) away. We rarely saw and never heard our neighbours. Our daughters (6 and 9) had complete run of the property and pool. ‎Every morning they would take the fishing rods out of the closet and go down to the canal and catch (and release) colourful Sergeant Majors while we cooked breakfast. One day, we booked a private charter to go fishing and snorkeling. The boat picked us up and dropped us off right at our dock in the backyard. Amazing property/ experience. Can't wait to go back! PS - Recommend Brad’s Car Rental. Best Prices. Located in airport terminal. Additional insurance is cheaper than most.
