“Great Location, but issues...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2009

Our group rented two villas, and while the location is wonderful -- water on both sides -- we were disappointed with cleanliness and value issues. For the rate ($225/night), it really would not have been too much to ask to have the beds made properly and the villa checked for dust and missing/out light bulbs. We arrived at 10pm after a long day, so were pretty outraged at opening the sofa bed to find the rumpled sheets of the previous occupant. The other beds were made, but had clearly been slept in before, as there was sand and hairs on the sheets. If it was not as late as it was, we would have left immediately. The kitchen was not very well cleaned either, but the following morning, we left a note for housekeeping asking them to clean and put fresh sheets on the beds -- all of which was done and the villa much cleaner than before.

Perhaps there was an oversight or comminication problem, but it would be reasonable to expect to arrive to a clean place. The location does make up for this though, as the villas are steps away from the water. Of the 6 villas, some are closer to the "beach" than others which have only a rocky shore in front. Beach is a loose term also, as depending on the tide levels, there may or may not be a beach. Definitely bring water shoes as there are rocks in the water too.

The villas are a short walk from "downtown" Marsh Harbour with restaurants and shopping. Renting a bicycle is a fun way to get around, with rentals available in town (also cars and scooters)

“Relax and stay a while”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2009

I've actually stayed at this property a few times and loved it! It is right on the water overlooking the Sea of Abaco. The location is very quiet and relaxing, but local entertainment and shopping is nearby. I prefer to walk, but you may also call for a taxi. My favorite moments were waking up to the beautiful sunrises with a freshly made pot of coffee. The villas have fully equipped kitchens, central A/C, cable, and phone, if you are in need of a few extras. A short swim off shore to mermaid reef provides a great little snorkeling area. This location would also be good for a family reunion, as you could rent all the villas. Do not forget to stop in at the Jib room for a great dinner or a few drinks, its about 5 minutes walking distance away. One other tip... on your way to the villas from the airport, ask your taxi driver to stop so you can pick up a few items at the grocery store. I'm sure you will be thirsty after you unpack!

“NOTHING BEATS ABACO SUNRISE”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2008

I lived in Marsh Harbour many years ago and returned for a memorial service for a dear friend. Our cottage was very nice and quiet. We had no problems with the house everything was in great working order. The cleaning service was excellent and unnoticed, I love clean towels but don't want to be bothered with the details of them getting there. Everything was perfect including the beautiful sunrise from the deck. Nothing is more beautiful than an Abaco Sunrise. It made a sad occasion very easy. Would defiantly stay there again

  • Liked — sunrise from deck
  • Disliked — rocks but if you go to abaco you should expect some rocks

“Loved our Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2008

Beautiful location. Cottages in great shape. Stayed there a few times over our 5 weeks in the Abacos. On arrival if no one is around there is a board in the window of the office with your name and cottage number. Nice folks and gorgeous view can't beat it. Walking distance to Jib Room. Laundry on site, very handy. Phones in cottages along with satellite television.
