DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA:

MAKERS AIR flies direct from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport to Stella Maris on Thursdays and Sundays. —www.makersair.com—

Alternatively, you can do a private charter with Makers Air or Air Flight Charters (—www.airflightcharters.com—) along with many other companies.

A private charter in a 9-passsenger typically costs $10k - $14k. This price includes both the outgoing and return trips. If you have a large group this can be an economical and convenient way to travel. Skip the major airports and long lines of customs/immigration!

COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS TO STELLA MARIS VIA NASSAU (NAS):
This is the most common route taken to Long Island. Nassau International Airport is the major air hub for the Bahamas with many direct flights from the USA, Canada & London. Major carriers include Jet Blue, American Airlines, Delta, United, Air Canada, British Airways, West Jet and Bahamasair. Upon arrival in Nassau, you will need to clear customs/immigration and then take a short flight to Long Island. Stella Maris Resort Air Service can pick you up in Nassau and fly you directly to Stella Maris in one of their resort aircraft. This flight is extraordinarily beautiful and lasts about one hour. Rock Hill is less than a mile from the runway.

Stella Maris Resort Air Service is the preferred way to reach Stella Maris. However, Southern Air Charter, Island Wings Charter & Bahamasair also offer daily flights to Stella Maris and Deadman's Cay Airport. Please note that Stella Maris Airport is much more convenient.

Rock Hill was designed as a "relaxed island getaway" by Strang Design, an award-winning, Miami-based architecture firm. The villa's clean, minimal interiors reflect a mastery of the "island modern" aesthetic. Long Island is world-famous for its pristine waters and endless miles of white, sandy beaches and coves.

Rock Hill features a total of 4 Bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Layout: two Master Suites are on the top floor and a Bunk Room (4 beds total) and additional Master Suite on the lower floor.

A Great Room and Lanai offer stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The interiors include furnishings from Restoration Hardware, Design Within Reach and Room & Board. Please note this villa is not suitable for the elderly, toddlers and very young children due to some unprotected walkways, terraces and stairs.

In addition to our private pool, you have free access to the stunning pools/beaches of Stella Maris Resort.

A rental car is not necessary to enjoy yourself at Rock Hill, however, rental cars are strongly recommended for longer stays and/or if you'd like the freedom to explore the entire island at your leisure. Our property manager, Bruno, will assist in arranging rental SUVs for your stay. They can be left at the airport or house for your convenience.

Prior to your arrival, you can email a shopping list to our property manager and your fridge/pantry will be stocked when you arrive.

All persons are required to have a valid passport for travel to The Bahamas (certain nationalities may require a Visa). If arriving into Stella Maris Airport, our property manager will greet you at the airport. You will need to use a taxi service or your rental car to get to the villa... only two minutes away!
