Enjoyed our stay. Viola’s was great, all the staff were wonderful and fair prices! Easy access and proximity to the beach. Used gate code and stairs to walk down. Down the beach was a short walk to dunes (great food and elegant vibe) and a short walk in opposite direction was beach venders selling drinks, souvenirs and water experiences. Beds were very comfortable, nice and firm! Bedrooms were nice and dark and stayed cool. Kitchen had everything you could need. Bring kpods! Comfortable couch. Plenty of towels.15 min walk to small island grocery store and harbor side restaurants. Felt safe as 2 women walking around. No bugs at all around the island in early May. John was a great communicator and helped us with anything we needed. Unit had chairs to bring to beach and toys and floats for the kids. Only issue was with miscommunication with security guard when we first got there.

Great location with all the amenities one could ask for in a clean well kept condo that was steps away from the pool.

Run don’t walk away from this “affordable” property on the beach. It’s location and the fact that it’s on the beach are really the only good qualities this property has. The photos and description claiming that the unit is updated are a complete lie. Many things such as the kitchen cupboards, shower doors, and the king bed frame in the master bedroom are completely busted.

Just as described. Great stay right on the beach.

We enjoyed staying at Sunrise. It is a good location and far more affordable than Atlantis. This unit is nice though I would suggest some decluttering as it is quite small. The patio especially needs fewer pieces of furniture. Maybe two white lounge chairs and a table. Move the grill to another location. Atlantis is a 15 minute walk. And you can walk to the bridge pretty easily. Violas is a great location. Food is pretty average. I liked the beach the most. Quite close and great for walks.

Very pleasant stay. Very close to the beach. Chairs and umbrella were supplied by John and were very much needed in the hot august sun.

The villa is conveniently located right on the beach. Just walk two mins and you are on the beach. There is a nice restaurant on the property. However, the closet grocery store is 10min walk. There were beach chairs and plenty of towels for us to enjoy the beach. The kitchen had all the pans and pots that we needed. The place was clean. The only reason I did not give 5 stars for the overall rating is because we ran out of drinking water in the water cooler the last day of our stay.

Everything from checking in to the communication with John was perfect. The condo is very spacious. Had everything we needed. Tons of activities on Cabbage Beach. I highly recommend Sandy Toes Pig experience. We will absolutely visit again! The locals were ver friendly. Violas on-site was also perfect!

WE haven't been away for quite a while. This was the vacation we needed. thank you!

This property was a great find for us! We stayed in unit 12 and loved that we had a lot of space for our family of five within the unit as well as immediate access to the beach. The beach and pool area never felt crowded. This was a great value and we could easily walk to Atlantis, the marina village, and other areas of interest on Paradise Island. John’s communication was great so we felt very prepared for our stay and getting around upon arrival. We would definitely stay here again.

For our kid's spring break, we chose to check out Atlantis without the craziness of Atlantis, so we booked this condo for 7 nights. The condo itself is cozy with two beds and two bathrooms plus a couch that folds out into another bed. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking in all our meals. After the first day of $200 lunch (with a few cocktails included) and about 2 hours of sitting at a restaurant table, we decided we would cook all our meals. There are a few grocery stores to choose from with varying levels of expense. It is helpful to bring a bunch of staples with you in your suitcase to help reduce the grocery bill. The condo is steps away from the most beautiful beach you will ever see, and it wasnt very crowded. Atlantis was about a 20 minute walk on the roads and about a 10 minute walk back along the beach. FYI - if you rent a car in Nassau, everyone drives on the left side of the road so be prepared to mentally flip everything you know if you are an American driver. John was a great host, very responsive to all my questions during our stay. We will stay here again.

Overall, this property was a great choice for a family with kids. It’s a perfect location on the property with the pool immediately out the back gate and a short walk to the beach. The restaurant on property, Viola’s, had such a large menu that we were able to visit for dinner every night and try something different. They even catered some dishes to appease our kids. Highlights: cleanliness, quick response time from owner, location on property and location on island, spacious unit with spacious master bathroom/shower, both pools were amazing, beach wasn’t crowded, Wifi included and worked well, cable TV worked well, plenty of towels and blankets, a/c worked well, toiletries included. One negative experience which wasn’t TOO big of a deal: the Google doc provided before our stay indicated beach lounge chairs were included but when we got to the beach, the man was charging $10. I messaged John and unfortunately didn’t hear back for two hours when he let me know he’d contact the property manager to see if they had anything. When we got back to our room there were two bag chairs and an umbrella on our patio and a message from the property owner, which was very much appreciated, just a tad too late. I recommend confirming with the owner prior to your stay to manage expectations.

This was my second time staying in this condo and it was better than my first time. It was my wife and I and our 2 adult children and our granddaughter. I don’t want to stay anywhere else in Nassau. The location is perfect!!! Walking distance to a pristine beach and beautiful pool at your front door. The owner and property manager are top notch and professional. They made sure everything was in order and were quick to respond to all of our needs. We all felt at home and will be back next year!!!

The overall experience was amazing. I didn't have to check in with anyone when I arrived, and was given immediate access to my villa. The rooms had all the necessary equipment and were very clean. The master bathroom was very nice, and beach towels were kindly provided for us. Every time we needed something, it was easy to communicate with the owner and the items were brought to us right away. Highly recommend !

Great place in a fantastic location. John was excellent to deal with and very accommodating when we wanted to add extra days and get an early check in. Condo is very comfy but we were rarely indoors given the fabulous location.

Quiet location with direct pool and beach access. Easy to communictae with owner

Manager is very easy to talk to...great location.

We did a Sister trip there there were 4 of us. Condo was perfect. Location was on the beach and we were steps from the pool. Security was also awesome. We walked to Atlantis a couple of times it’s just a short walk. We took the water ferry to the straw market it was great. Couldn’t have asked for a better sister trip.

Everything was wonderful! From the time we arrived until the time we left! Definitely will be back!

Came for a 4 night family getaway and couldn't have been happier with the choie to stay at #12 Sunrise Beach Villas. Condo was very clean and spacious and the outside patio had plenty of room with a propane grill. Plenty of room for everyone to relax for a bit after a long day at the beach or before bed. The A/C units all do a great job of keeping the apt at a comfortable temperature. The two pools were nice and never very crowded in the pool or at the pool deck. The few other residents we did interact with were all very friendly. A walk down the stairs outside the back gate brings you directly to Cabbage Beach, which wasn't overly crowded but plenty of drink and souveneir options as well as water sport activities if you want. The area certainly felt very safe, but on top of that there was security on premise, which is a nice bonus to see when you're in an unfamiliar location. We took a cab to SuperValu the first night just to stock up on some items (this might be better suited for daytime) and the kitchen amenities were enough for breakfasts and some grilling. The restaurant on site Violas has very good food but service was not overall the best (and I don't mean slow, slow is fine on island time), but still enjoyed eating there a couple of nights. I know someone had mentiond seedy looking in one of the reviews and I would absolutely say that is not the case. Now if you are expecting a hotel like appearance where there are maintanance personnel on staff 24/7 to make sure every cabinet knob is on tight and every cracked tile gets replaced right away (not that there were a lot of either of these), then maybe a hotel would be better suited. If you want to stay in a nice sized apt that is reasonably priced and in a great location, I don't think you can go wrong here.

We enjoyed our 2 week stay at the villa. Everything was perfect for us. We will be looking to rent again. Garnet & Janet

The villa was great. Accommodating and responsive owner. Great location, walking distance to Atlantis. Villa has a really good restaurant. Beautiful place on the ocean.

We enjoyed our stay at John’s property. With 6 of us there was plenty of space and the outdoor patio really expands your living space. Diana was easily reached and very responsive to any questions we had. The on-site resturaunt was a wonderful addition. The best part of all though is the pool right outside your door and the beautiful ocean just beyond the pool. The beach is amazing and the morning and evenings you virtually have it to yourself. It was a great stay.

After spending a week in the Bahamas with the beach as our main focus, we realized that Villa #12 is a great deal. My husband and I stayed comfortably with our 4 kids, ages 8-14. Violas restaurant was a reasonably priced option to have right on site with great service. We picked up groceries at the super value on the way from the airport. Driver waited there for us. Highly recommend this option if you plan to cook as there is only a small grocery store on paradise island with very small selection and even higher prices than the big store. Good place to get water if you run out though. The pros: Kitchen to cook your own meals (not fully equipped but pretty good), pool access right out your patio door, ocean view, 2 min walk to an amazing beach without crossing any roads, very secure, friendly neighbors, nice clean pool, responsive host and manager. The cons: By American standards the place could use a little upkeep. One of the kitchen cabinet doors falls off their hinges when opened. We were not able to use the cable in the main room, although we didn’t try very hard and didn’t even tell manager till last day. (We didn’t want to spend vacation watching TV). The refrigerator is not level on all legs so rocks back and forth. Could use some plastic cups, more bowls and more silverware in general. The beds were just ok. The ‘hotel’ staff can be a little abrasive and non cooperative towards villa guests, but overall not a huge issue. A little more info: Plenty of bath towels and beach towels to use. Beach chairs are not available till 10 for villa and hotel guests. They usually ask to remove them by 3:30 or so. We would usually stay longer with just our towels and our belongings. Not a big deal. Bring tips for people moving chairs and umbrellas. We walked down to Atlantis one day and walked through the resort just to see what the fuss was about. We decided not to do any activities there because of the cost and hectic pace of the resort. Sitting on the beach in front of sunrise was just the kind of family time we were looking for. This is one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches we have been to. We did eat out for dinner about 5 nights. There are several places on paradise island to walk to. If you want to get to Nassau, check out Curlys in the fish fry area. Because the focus of our trip was the beach and warm weather, this villa was the perfect fit for us. Well worth a few extra bucks to stay in a perfect location right on the beach!
