Beautiful and comfortable home (comfy beds!) In a safe neighborhood. Great ocean view and access. The beach really is very quiet and clean and not many other people are around. I brought my parents, who like to be comfortable and do not like big crowds, and this was perfect. Watch for sting rays and octopus sightings in the shallow water and make sure to go snorkle out by the rocks to see some other marine life. Recommended for anyone that really wants to relax and enjoy the sea. Thanks!

Thank you, Jessica, and I agree with you. The best part is how private and comfortable our villa is. We welcome you again with open arms. One time I was in the water with a friend, and a big black stingray, wingspan at least 3 feet, jumped out of the water within 10 feet of us. It was our National Geographic moment. It was beautiful. Then he started heading toward us and we just shude him it away. A moment I will never forget. Another time I found a starfish the size of a dinner plate, that was golden orange in color. Picked it up and when I turned it over, I could see the little legs moving. And immediately put it back in the water. If you do pick up a starfish and it shows size of being alive, immediately put it back in the water.

Picturesque vacation spot

Family of all ages had the most wonderful time. Huge house with everything you could need. What’s best: the location. Start and end your day on the ocean view porch. Take a walk up and down the beach. Go from private beach walk, up to the Banana Bay restaurant…eat, drink, swim, relax. Dave and Yvounger are the best hosts we have ever dealt with. Communication was prompt and overly helpful with getting us prepared for our stay. Yvounger met us at the car rental and brought us back to the house…what an amazing welcome! Thanks so much Dave and Yvounger, this vacation checked everything off our list!

Wonderful place on the beach

This wonderful place surpassed all expectations. From booking Dave, the house manager, was very helpful. A lovely lady called Yvounger met us at the airport and looked after us during our stay, and the property itself was spacious, well furnished and, best of all, on the beach. Having breakfast on the balcony every morning in the sunshine, with a view of the sea, was very special indeed.

perfect location, perfect villa!

Beautiful villa few steps away from the beach! Our family of 5 ( with 3 young children) had a wonderful stay! The villa is clean and spacious and had everything we needed It is situated in a very quiet gated community, we spent most of our time outside on the beautiful deck facing the ocean! The owner and manager are very helpful and gave us all the info we needed to make our stay stress free. A car is needed to get around but it is an easy drive and we always felt safe to cruise around the island. We will definitely come back , we had such an amazing and relax time there!

A little slice of heaven

Everything was perfect! The house the beach, the weather (and it even rained), the West End Ecology Tour, the car rental agency (KSR) and the house manager Yvoungar all made this trip heaven!! The only thing they could add but I didn’t have to have are beach chairs. This was our second trip so we came prepared by packing wind blown seats for the beach!

Best vacation ever!!

The house and its location are absolutely amazing. Three large bedrooms each with walk-in closets and bathrooms. Large living room with comfy chairs and long dining room table. However the best part of the house is a wide porch that runs from one end of the house to another with gorgeous views of palm trees and blue ocean. We spent hours on the porch drinking coffee, reading a book in the hammock and eating meals at the outdoor table. The beach was only 50 steps from the porch and was gorgeous - - white sand, blue waters, basically deserted and perfect for long walks. Everything about the house, the beach and the location was perfect for a relaxing vacation!!

We missed the boat

My wife and I visited this property when it was for sale a few years ago. We decided to pass at that time and stay in the US. We knew we would be back soon and try to stay here, and we did. We mutually decided that we missed the boat and should have bought this perfect house. Luckily the new owner is gracious enough to let others enjoy the house and surroundings and we will be back for sure. We did not watch one second of TV the entire week and only ate out at 2 of our favorite places, Banana Bay and Dolphin Cove...both of which we highly recommend. We will be back for sure.

BEAUTIFUL HOME

Absolutely amazing home, truly was a short walk right to the beach! THe home was well, well equipped for anything we needed! so many dishes to use. The float tubes were a lifesaver as the water was a bit chilly because of the cold snap:-/ But the house was way more accommodating than expected! Large Bedrooms and everyone has private baths. Air Mattress wasn't working but plenty of extra space for the teenager on the couch! Dave and Yvonga gave us great information for the island. Yvonga met us at the airport escorted us to the house and then escorted us to the grocery store!

thank you, Jessica, for the very kind review. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and do hope to see you return. Thanks for the heads up about the air mattress, we were not sure if it worked or not, and no one has used it for so long. It's good to know it's time to replace it. Last time it was used, there was no complaints, so we figured it was still good to go. And of course, that was a couple years ago. But now we know and we thank you for that. If you have any other suggestions, please send them my way. Thank you again for choosing us, Dave.

Wonderful Home and Location

Our family had a fantastic time. Our boys aged 16,14 and 10 had plenty to do with the beach and snorkeling steps away and we spent a lot of time on that back deck. The house is very spacious and feels like a true vacation home and it is exactly as pictured on the site - the beach is steps away and a wonderful view of all. The manager, Dave Kimbrell, and owners have really made it very convenient for travelers, from having a greeter meet you at the airport to being available to answer any questions. Plus, Dave's recommendations of activities were excellent. We highly recommend Bahama Adventures at Taino beach for some sun and water sports and Reef Tours in Port Lucaya for snorkeling and parasailing, among other things. Also, the Lucayan National Park was well worth the trip. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Dave and owners for make it a truly memorable vacation!

Wonderful and Relaxing Vacation Location

The Fortune Cay area of Grand Bahama is the perfect place for a peaceful and beautiful beach vacation. The property manager, Dave was very responsive to our questions during booking and sent us email reminders about COVID guidelines, getting through customs and the check-in process. Yvounger met us at the car rental shop, took us to the house, waited patiently while we enjoyed the amazing view and lead us to the closest grocery store. Be sure to ask her about her guava doff dessert! Delicious! The house was very clean and plenty spacious for our family of four. It is only 40 yards from the beach via a well-maintained walking path and not close to any resorts, so it is never crowded. There are two reefs just off shore with beautiful fish, rays and barracuda to find and watch. We highly recommend walking the beach to Banana Bay for lunch and the Stoned Crab for dinner, which is a 7 minute drive from the house. Also consider swimming with dolphins at Unexso that is down the street from Stoned Crab. It was a highlight of our trip!

Most relaxing vacation

This is an amazing property and wonderful support staff. Great communication. The location is perfect if you want a beautiful, empty beach at your doorstep. Very peaceful and quiet. Amenities and WIFI great. The kitchen is well stocked and the grill looks new. Dave, the property manager, was easy to work with and responded quickly to any questions. Yvounger, the local host, met us at the car rental and helped us get settled. She is a sweet person and quite helpful. All in all, a great operation. The villa is in a gated, very safe, community. In fact, we find the people on Grand Bahama to be very friendly and kind. We always rent a car (a must) from Brads. This is another great business to deal with. The cars are not new, but well maintained. Any issues are dealt with quickly. Driving on the island is simple compared to many other islands, as it is quite flat with mostly straight roads. There are many great restaurants nearby, our favorite is a quick walk down the beach. This was a most relaxing vacation. Do not hesitate to consider this villa if you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, relaxing beach vacation.

EXACTLY what we needed!

We were so happy with this rental, especially since it was our first time using VRBO to book a vacation. My husband and I brought our two small children and their grandmother to Grand Bahama for a week and wanted to have an easy, relaxing, and fun vacation. This house was in the most beautiful spot, and was nicely furnished. The best part for us was it's proximity to the beach, which made it super easy for us to enjoy sand, sun, and swimming fun between naps! (Not to mention the lunch restaurant a short walk down the beach was probably the best restaurant we went to). We felt very taken care of, and communicated with by the property manager and the woman they've hired to assist with things on-island. She was great, met us at the airport and led us around some of the sites before leading us to the house, and then communicated via text with any other questions that came up during the week. The ONLY small negative was that we were told there would be a highchair to feed our baby, but they were unable to find one in time and didn't let us know until we asked about it after being there a day. Despite that, the kitchen was very well-stocked, the bedrooms and bathrooms spacious and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the covered porch, and had dinner out there every night that we ate in. Thanks for helping us have a fantastic vacation!

What a beautiful home!

My family just returned from our stay at the Blue Inn Villa and let me tell you it was wonderful! The house and view were simply amazing. I think this villa has the best view of the beach/ocean! The house had everything you could ask for and more. I have rented a lot of vacation homes all over the globe and this was the best equipped home I've stayed in! We spent all of our time home on the back porch overlooking the ocean. It was so peaceful! The beach right out front was also amazing. We snorkeled on the little reefs every day and saw all kinds of sea life. The starfish are huge! We spent a day at Taino Beach and Gold Rock Beach. Had a blast, but as far as beaches go we all agreed our beach in front of the house was our favorite! It was very quiet and private. Only saw the occasional person(s) strolling by. Dave & Yvounger were great to communicate/work with. Super quick response time and full of information! Yvounger gave us a tour of the house and island upon arrival which helped out tremendously! She even called mid-week just to check in! Whether we were scuba diving, snorkeling, or just sitting on the back porch playing games we had a blast! A lot of great memories were made on Grand Bahama, and staying at the Blue Inn Villa made it that much more memorable! Thanks for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us! David & Shawnna B.

Great week in the Bahamas

Our family stayed for a week in early June--parents and three kids 11 and up. The house was as advertised and in an ideal location on the beach. The view is exactly as it appears on the website, except better in person. We usually had the beach to ourselves for long periods of time, except for the occasional people taking walks up and down the beach. The water was clear, warm, and good for swimming. As others have noted, there are several reefs just to the left of the house, pretty close to shore, that were fun to snorkel around. There are even several areas in the water to the left that are completely free of rocks for those with littler kids. We loved to sit on the porch and had dinner there most nights, looking out over the water. The outdoor shower was great for rinsing off the sand. The house was exceptionally clean when we arrived, and had pretty much everything you could ask for: lots of bath towels, beach towels, pillows, etc. The kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of cutlery, dishes, glassware, pots and pans, etc. The laundry was a big plus too, especially if you are there for a week. Wi-fi worked great too. Did not watch TV at all the whole time, but there is a big screen in the living room. Most importantly, Dave (who manages the house for the owner) was exceptionally helpful from booking through the stay. He answered all of my questions, and was honest and transparent about everything. He kept in touch with emails in the weeks before the trip, with suggestions and information about check-in, policies, activities, and more. Like others, we were met at the airport by Julie, who escorted us to the house, showed us around, and then took us on a brief tour of the area and showed us where the grocery store was. We were looking for a relaxing vacation, and so did not utilize her services or insights as much as some others seem to have, but she was responsive to the few questions we had and always friendly. In summary, the house is great, the location is ideal, and all of my interactions with Dave were positive and professional. If you are looking for a quality home right on the beach and a relaxing vacation, this is a great choice.

The owner, is from Louisiana and is a big fan of the island. They recently purchased the Villa, and she has been adding her charm and expertise to the property.

Why they chose this property

It was Love at first sight, but needed some love and attention. So with the great carpenters the owner found on the island, the beach house was transformed into a lovely getaway home. The city of Freeport is the perfect Bahama location. The water here is the perfect Caribbean color, it takes your breath away. The islanders are incredibly friendly, and they love the tourist like no other place you have traveled to. The location of our home is perfect. Just a five-minute drive to two Waterparks that have everything for water activities that you could want, with a bar and restaurant for you pleasure. One is free and the other is a minimum entrance fee. Masseuse on call and water jets to rent. But most of all is the quite peaceful atmosphere that our location gives you.

What makes this property unique

Your own beautiful private walking path, only seconds to the beach. The island isn't that big, so you don't get lost for long. The sunsets and sun rises are spectacular, that you can enjoy with coffee or a cocktail in the evenings. You will love walking the beach, not many people at all, and I make each sunset a must. A beautiful getaway and stress-free life. Our favorite lunch is to walk to the beach and turn left, and walk 10 minutes to a favorite local hangout. The food is wonderful, and you can meet many friends and enjoy the fun with an island cocktail of your choice. Also, the Lacaya Marketplace is very close to the villa as well as the Grocery store. We never wanted to leave the house, but when we did, the restaurants that are at the Lacaya Marketplace are so close that you have the hardest time figuring out where to dine. So many choices, and they all are good, or they want to last long. The locals have started many businesses that cater to the tourist, including deep sea fishing, Bone fishing is one of the biggest draws to the island, jeep tours, cave diving, water jet boards and all the water fun at the park next to us, you could want. The dolphin experience on the island is the best you can find anywhere. All of these factors were an easy pick for this location.
