Turning 50 Women Weekend

This place exceeded our expectations. We loved the views and the rooms. We had apps at the pool, snorkeled right out front and used the paddle boards. It was a perfect place with close restaurants and wine and spirits. We had a great time.

Great Property! Great Hosts!

We were here for a weekend. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating with early/late check in requests. The property is great. The beach underneath wasn't really accessible, but it's nearby others that are only a few minutes away. The pool is next to the house with a great view of the ocean. The property is well stocked with pots/pans/dishes/glasses/etc. Highly recommended! Would absolutely stay here again!!

Awesome Stay

How was very nice and view was incredible. Definitely recommend. Exiting onto roadway from parking can be a challenge, but you are surrounded by excellent restaurants within easy walking distance.

Wonderful getaway with friends

We are 6 college friends celebrating our 50th birthdays and Ivy May's did not disappoint! The communication leading up to the trip was excellent and Novlet was very responsive once we got there, though there was nothing that we needed as Derek and Kiima have thought of everything. This is a great spot if you're looking for a local, out of the way vibe for your vacation. The only downfall is that you can't really walk very far - the roads are very narrow and a bit treacherous for pedestrians. We are a group that loves long walks on the beach and unfortunately we were not able to do that. But we contacted Leo, one of the taxi drivers recommended, and he took great care of us, driving us to Bahamar one day and Love Beach another. There are two restaurants, an ice cream shop and liquor store right across the street, as well as the conch stand right down the road, which are all easy (and safe) to walk to. The large patio overlooking the water was awesome and we spent every morning and evening out there, we even found a couple yoga mats and had our own yoga session - such a treat! But one of the highlights of our trip was Chef Corey, who cooked for us for two days and treated us to amazing Bahamian meals - highly recommend! The house itself was very comfortable and homey and had everything we needed, from beach towels, to cooler bags, floaties and yoga mats and 6 brand new lounge chairs for the pool - a must!! Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

From the moment we arrived at the house we fell in love! The house is literally on the beach! Every morning I woke up and felt like i was on a cruise ship when i looked out the wondow.. It had everything we needed plus some! The location was great. The restaurants in the area where awesome. We even had a rainy day and the house was so comfy we just enjoyed relaxing in the house.

About the host

Hosted by Derek VanderTang

Currently living in New York. Derek is in IT while Kiima works in the beauty industry and recently received her real estate in New York. Ivy's Mays Beach House is family owned with roots in Jamaica and the Bahamas. We love the area and couldn't be happier to be involved in managing our family's lovely home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Ivy Mays Beach House has been in our family for decades. We love catching sunsets on the balcony...There is nothing like it!! The neighborhood truly has everything you need for dinning out for breakfast lunch or dinner or even dancing on the weekends!

What makes this property unique

Ivy May worked for the world-famous Island Records under the
direction of Christopher Blackwell. During this exciting time in her life, she was fortunate enough to assist Mr. Blackwell in the careers of Bob Marley, U2, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Will Smith, Robert Palmer, and many others. Ivy Mays Beach House was used to house the various artists and their families while they recorded at the studio across the street
(which is now the Studio Cafe restaurant)
