I never actually met Trevor, and it was a bit of a surprise when another man met me at the airport. Never heard from Trevor at all. However there was a manager guy who met me at the house after being delivered there by the taxi. The manager guy was good and gave me a cellphone with numbers and battery charger to call him if I needed anything. Which I didnt, the house was very well equiped (minus a can opener), and there was a wonderful Canadian couple next door who were so kind and helpful taking me shopping and offering to take me anywhere I wished. They also lent me a pair of fins for snorkeling which was great. The peaceful situation as just what I needed, loved the dogs, homely and felt very safe despite remote location. Would happily return if it was not so far from New Zealand. Thanks

I totally recommend this place(price/location )for the ones who love to enjoy something different than all-inclusive hotels. If you enjoy snorkeling, diving, reef fishing, kayaking and relax for a while then this is the place for you. I suggest to arrive by ASD airport instead of SAQ which a little further from the Treasures of Andros. I never get to meet Trevor but he was making sure that we did have everything necessary to enjoy our stay. Planning to come back soon.

Trevor was fantastic - he arranged pick up from the airport, took us shopping in his car more than once during our stay to stock up the kitchen, and was generally super responsive. We stayed at the house from Dec 24th-Jan 3rd, so while there were 3-4 houses next to ours, they were practically all empty. We had the entire gorgeous beach to ourselves. There's a few tiny supermarkets a mile or so away, which was why it was so helpful to have him drive us. He gave us two bikes, kayaks, fishing and snorkeling gear. A few things to keep in mind are that this is a scarcely populated island so there's not a lot to do beyond enjoy the sea, explore the natural parks on the island, and go diving. To dive there's Small Hope resort, a 10 minute bike ride away. They are dive and all-inclusive resort so if you're not a resort guest you need to call every day after 8pm to confirm they have spots on the boat for scuba diving the next day. We never had any problem with space and joined the Small Hope NYE party. We also biked to one of the inland blue holes and spent the day there too which was lovely. We had a great time. I think the only aspect I wish I had known beforehand is how expensive food is on the island - you will pay $4-5 usd for things that cost $1-2 in NYC, for example.

I had a wonderful time in Allancia's place. She was very helpful with planning the flights and her mum was really nice, too. If you are looking for a quiet and nice place to stay, this would be your choice!

It was a great experience. We didn't stay at the property described here. Some work was being done on it to repair the damage from Hurricane Matthew. But Allancia put us up in a Beach Front room at a nearby resort that her mother operates. The place was gorgeous, and Ms Emanuel was very helpful with everything. Allancia just had a baby (congratulations!!), so we understandably didn't get to see much of her. But everyone else, including her parents, cousin Rupert, and also Sam helped us with everything we needed. The bikes were very helpful. Andros is in general a place full of friendly and helpful people. And Allancia and her family, especially so. Heartily recommend.

I have stayed three nights in Allancia's house. It's ten mins drive from the airport and five mins walk the nearest store. Although I didn't meet Allancia, (her mom took a good care of me instead) she still gave me some good advice and company during my stay. Inside the house, simple but has everything you need. With the help of bill's blue hole map, i found it easily and had a really good time there!!!

We loved it here! There are THREE blue holes within biking distance! The bikes provided by the hosts were invaluable. And so many amazing beaches to explore. The folks at Mable's (where you'll be buying most of your groceries) are very nice. The bed was comfy, the house was calm & quiet, and the cats and dogs greeted us happily upon our return. I would absolutely stay here again.

We were hosted by Allancia's mother Sandra, who took good care of us. On the second day of our stay, the water pressure went down (from the whole village), so Sandra kindly arranged us a room in her resort close by. There's a fridge, a toaster and an electric water kettle, but no pans or pots, which may limit cooking possibilities. The place is however nicely located next to Sammy's bar where you could get snacks, drinks and a light lunch/dinner. Behind the bar there was a long sandy beach, which looked nice. For groceries it would've been a 15-20 min walk, but with a car it was very easy to move around.

The host canceled this reservation 5 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Allancia studio apartment was exactly what i was looking for... nice quiet getaway..great location. the description, and reviews below are more then accurate, everything was great. communication with allancia was spot on, same with her mom, who was very helpful. i recommend it - thank you allancia!

Allancia was a great host. Good communication before and during our stay. We didn't meet her, but her mom took good care of everything we needed, including setting us up with a rental car on short notice. We used the bicycles the first day and probably would have been fine using them all during our stay but we wanted to explore Andros more thoroughly. There is a very good restaurant nearby and we took advantage of it several times. There is a bank nearby as well, which we didn't use but I did see it had an ATM. The space is large and comfortable, with everything you need for a few days. We would stay again if we get back to Andros.

Sister & brother island vacation wk @ 3 venues Andros include 2 ngts Love at First Sight in Stafford Creek with attentive proprietor & chef Sheila Blatch. Fair prices full breakfasts 2 morns and fabulous dinners 2 nights (baked whole jack and baked yellow fin grouper) served in dining rm decorated with couple dozen H. Russell's wood carvings of Red Bays fame. Sheila arranged for neighbor Rev A.W. to guide us half day visit Red Bays where purchased some silver top plaiting & wood carved items and delicious chicken wings picnic at local take away. At Stafford Creek we enjoyed several walks in residential area nearby, affording waterfront views and greeted by friendly locals. Comfortably AC'd two-queen bed room with shower in bathroom. Small swimming pool for refreshing dip and well cared for grounds. We enjoyed inn's solitude & remoteness; if you don't want "lay back" vacation choose someplace else! I'm confident find good bone fishing @ Stafford Creek Sand Flat but didn't get to stalk up this time.

The on-site host, Sheila made us feel right at home. We woke up to amazing sunrises over the ocean from our window, and birds chirping. Love at First Sight is at a central location on the island. It's at the mouth of a small river where it meets the ocean. We didn't get a chance to fish, but I'm sure Sheila could have cooked them up. There are about 10 rooms on all, but seems usually only a few are rented at a time, so expect it to be very quiet or even have the place to yourself. There is a strong wifi signal, but no cable. She has a bunch of DVDs you can choose from though. You can rent kayaks from Forfar and kayak the river mouth to some nearby keys. Shoreline by the hotel is part limestone/reef/conch. There is a small sand area for laying out, but we didn't use it because there are so many desolate beaches to visit. I highly recommend renting a car to get around, the island is 50 miles long and you can cover a lot of ground without getting stuck with tour groups. Michelle had Sheila arrange a rental car for us (pick-up and drop-off from either airport). Car was $80/day and we got a Nissan March subcompact. Rooms are nothing fancy, if you're looking for that you're on the wrong island. But it is clean and fully functional and nicely decorated. Sheila asked what time we'd like to have breakfast and dinner and worked around our schedule. Loved having delicious hot meals to start and end our days and a clean room to come back to. This was a perfect set-up for our DIY andros exploration. One day we told her we'd find dinner in another town so she wouldn't expect us back. Sheila can converse as much or as little as you want, and gives you plenty of space if that's what you like, or tips on what to do. Meals came out to $12-$20 each and we had veggies and non-fried items for dinner - this was nice since other food places often just had fried "snacks". Sheila kept a running tab for food she gave us at the end of the trip. There are food options around the island but they can be hard to find or have limited hours. The entire place is very small-town and friendly. Leave your Yelp and (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) at home and ask the locals. Other Andros tips, places that accept credit will add a 5% fee. The ATMs will charge $5 plus your ~$5 bank fees. Many of the side roads on the island are terrible with potholes, flooding or are grown over logging roads, so drive carefully. I wish I had my truck.

P was very helpful from the beginning. Communication was excellent. We had to change location 2-3 days before arrival because of an unforeseen circumstance with the booked house. P took care of everything. Place is very secluded and far from everything, which can be great if thats what you are looking for. The place is located in Davis Creek on Andros Island, 1 mile north of Small Hope Bay Lodge. Some dogs are wandering around the village and will follow you but they are very nice and calm. People are nice and friendly but food store have some very limited supplies and selection. Overall I appreciated my stay.

We were four fly fishing anglers and enjoyed our stay at Robert's orange villa very much. The location was prefect. It was only a five-minute drive to the dock and a restaurant ( Teresa's place), and a ten-minute drive to a small liquor store and a small grocery store. The flat in front of the house is one of the most productive flats nearby. The view was truly beautiful. The villa was clean, comfortable and cheerful. It had most everything we needed. Because the local grocery store had very limited selection, Robert picked us up at the Nassau airport, showed us around and then took us to get groceries. With the groceries, we flew to Mangrove Cay. At the local airport, Robert's cousin Kenya picked up us and drove us to get drinks. Later that day, she also took us to a local restaurant to have our welcome dinner . Kenya also took us back to the airport for our departure. All were arranged perfectly by Robert. Besides cooking at the house, we also ate out at the Shine's Conch Shack, Four Kids Bakery and Cafe, as well as Teresa's place. All were excellent. We found that staying at Robert's place instead of an all-inclusive fishing lodge, really gave us the opportunities to meet the locals and experience the culture. Everyone was so wonderful and welcoming. Our Fly fishing guides Marvin Miller and Shine were outstanding. They were very knowledgeable and passionate about the fishing. We caught many fish with their help. Be sure to read about the travel policy on the Le Air website . There is a baggage weight limit. Also, certain items such as cooking oil are not allowed to be on the plane. Overall, we had a wonderful time and can't wait to visit Mangrove Cay and Robert's place again.

We had an excellent experience with Robert and his Mangrove Cay villas. We rented both villas for one week and were impressed with the facilities, as well as the great level of attention to detail and service Robert provided. Ahead of our trip, Robert proactively reached out to help plan our visit to the settlement, including transportation from the airport to our charter and provisioning for groceries in Nassau. Both were seamlessly executed. Upon arrival in Mangrove Cay, we were delighted with the location and the facilities - brand-new villas with beautiful finishes and all the comforts required. Robert even welcomed us on our first night with a home-cooked meal - going above and beyond all expectations. We've been coming to Mangrove Cay for many years and the primary purpose of our trip was fly fishing. The villas themselves are located on an excellent fishing flat and in close proximity to the docks where we met our fishing guides (walking distance). If you're new to Mangrove Cay, Robert will ensure you have an experience that introduced you to all the community has to offer and make you comfortable. Great for groups - particularly if you're coming for a fishing trip and looking for an alternative to staying at a lodge. Robert is an excellent, attentive and charming host.

Robert's place has all the modern amenities you need (and more!) for a very comfortable stay in quiet and scenic Mangrove Cay. He made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy his beautiful island to the fullest. Extra stars for the warm welcome from the whole community of Mangrove Cay, they are the nicest people we've met in the Bahamas. The variety of wildlife in the mangrove is also pretty amazing, in a few hours we saw everything from a turtle to a shark and even a seastar! :)

Our trip to Mangrove Cay was everything we expected and more. Our host Robert was extremely informative and made us feel very welcome. He even picked us up from the airport in Nassau, toured us around the city, took us to the government house, and Atlantis paradise island, while giving us a brief history lesson. This was completly optional as well, we could have sat at the airport for 6hours waiting for our flight to Mangrove Cay, instead we enjoyed our layover and went sight seeing in Nassau. From there Robert caught the same flight with us to Mangrove Cay and essquorted us to our villa. Because Mangrove Cay is very primitive, we brought our own food to the island (from Nassau). Robert, the man who where's many hats, said he could provide us with a cook, little did we know he's a chef and would be preparing our meals. At this point I was completly blown away with his hospitality and ability to go above and beyond for his guests. The villa itself was top notch, everything brand new, very comfortable and private. Not to mention your overlooking a bonefish flat. Also the villas are within walking get distance to the main port of the island, which is where we met our fishing guides. The fishing itself was amazing. We had awesome guides ( Alin Greene and Efraim) and caught lost of bonefish on the fly. I would highly recommend visiting Mangrove Cay and staying at the sea view villas with Robert. I know it's just a matter of time ever before we come back and visit. Thanks Robert, your the man!

Robert (the host) was fantastic! He had a cab ready for us at the Nassau airport where he took us grocery shopping and then when we flew into Mangrove Cay he had a cab there for us as well. The first night he made us a delicious bowl of conch chowder and showed us around the island. Mangrove Cay is a beautiful place to visit and Robert's home is idyllic. We definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a peaceful island vacation!

Loved seeing the starfish and bone fish right outside of the house. We tried walking to the islands across the way but started at high tide and never made it. Check the tide schedule. Everybody is so nice on this island. We felt very welcome. Bring OFF orange label 15% deet as the sand flies were treacherous. This is the only bug spray that worked. You might have to trip the breakers quick if the appliances stop working. We labeled them for future reference so it is quite easy.

I am blown away with this property. Our hosts were amazing and helped us with anything and everything down to home cooked meals that top any 5 star restaurant, I have eaten at. The home is huge, clean, and just magical! My family had an amazing experience in Andros Town and I would highly recommend this listing. We got to visit other properties and there is no comparison to the VIP service we received from the Douglas'. They are kind and amazing people... I will return as soon as I get the chance

Gabrielle and Peter and family were gracious and accommodating hosts - from the freshly-baked loaf of bread handed over with the keys all the way through to saying goodbye. The houseboat is spacious and airy and the absolute perfect place to get away from it all - relax doing nothing, fish for barracuda and snapper, take a swim, do whatever you want. Very private, very quiet, lovely and peaceful. And if you want more than doing as little as possible, the island itself offers plenty of cool things to do: trek into the forest to find and dive into an eery-but-enticing blue hole, get lost on the old logging roads and enjoy the orchids and birds and occasional family of wild pigs, scuba or snorkel the reefs, to name a few. All-in-all a thoroughly enjoyable getaway destination - very highly recommended!

Hosts Peter and Gabrielle are incredibly charming, generous, and intelligent people. The house is immaculately clean. After spending just a few hours, one realizes that the house has a very positive and happy vibe (if you believe in such things). The house is incredibly relaxing. Large screen windows allow for lots of air and let you enjoy the view. The house is equipped with all necessities, including basic cooking utensils. It was important to us, as we prepared most of our meals, getting our groceries from small shops in Fresh Creek. Even though you feel like you are in a very remote area, the house is conveniently located just minutes by car from Fresh Creek and Andros Town (two main settlements in Central Andros), as well as the airport. If you love nature, you will enjoy Sunset Point Houseboat (and Andros in general). Share some bread crumbs with friendly sergeant majors in “houseboat aquarium” under the deck, watch shy angel fish and bonefish. Listen to the myriad of birds in Gabrielle’s garden. Watch herons hunting for breakfast and dinner just steps from the deck. And if you love ocean… well, you have to, if you came to Andros, right? – do yourself a favor and at the very least snorkel the mangroves literally steps away from the house. This is like watching Discovery Channel.: a wide variety of fish, from tiny to quite large ones (that hide among mangroves but will come and check you out if you just wait), including a green moray eel (a rare encounter, even during reef dives!). Snappers, trumpet fish, at least two varieties of angel fish, yellow tails, basslets, wrasses, damsels….. the list goes on. I’ve been on close to 200 dives (and more snorkel trips), and I’ve never seen sights so diverse and healthy. We haven’t had time to go on the Barrier Reef, but got a chance to snorkel an incredible site in North Bight, with the healthiest coral I’ve ever seen and totally tame fish... Lots of fish... I spent over 2 hours in the water and could’ve easily spent more. I love Bahamas (have been to Eleuthera, Exumas, Bimini, and Nassau), but Andros won my heart with its welcoming and friendly people (even by Bahamian standards, Androsians are the best!) and heartbreaking beauty. My only regret is that we’ve spend only one week there. I definitely recommend Sunset Pont houseboat to everyone who wants to stay in Central Andros area. Tips: bring 75+ SFP sunscreen, lots of bug spray, and light long pants for protection from horse flies. If you a foodie, bring whatever delicacies you crave (cheeses, crackers, salami, nuts, etc), as food stores here are pretty basic. If you rent a car and plan on driving to North Andros, try to get an SUV – parts of the road to North Andros is quite bad, so bigger car will make your journey less bumpy.

Only great things to say about Gabrielle & Peter's Houseboat! We booked this place a few months in advance and Gabrielle was very responsive and resourceful from the start. Check-in and check-out was smooth and easy. On arrival we were pleasantly greeted with fruit, juice and freshly baked bread from Peter. Pros: -Gabrielle & Peter (they are wonderful people!) -easy to adventure & easy to relax -spectacular views from every window -fishing off the dock (we cooked a few of our catches!) -kayaks -wildlife around the house -location to airport and town -spacious & clean My boyfriend was set on catching a bonefish, which is what led us to Andros, we were successful in that and much more! We caught snapper and barracuda from the deck, snorkeled under the house and saw a few lionfish. We rented a car which allowed us to travel up and down the island quite easily. Gabrielle and Peter kindly pointed us in the direction of great beaches, local eatery's, to dos, etc. FYIs on Andros: nothing major -bring extra bug spray and sunscreen as the local markets likely will not have any -cases of beer are a little pricey -the running water smells very suplhury, but Gabrielle and Peter provide cold drinking water

We didn’t want to leave. The houseboat was all that we expected with everything we needed right there. It is large enough so that we each had our own privacy with access to the decks on the creek. Fresh Creek provided stunning views with great snorkeling and swimming. There were an amazing amount of fish including a small shark, stingrays, puffer fish and angel fish. Gabrielle was very helpful and answered all of our questions prior to our arrival. As we drove up, she came over to welcome us and show us the houseboat and its amenities. The kitchen was partially stocked and there was bottled water to drink. One caveat-bring lots of bug spray! We just relaxed and played in the water. If you want to unwind, this is the place to do it.

Sunset Point Houseboat was a once in a lifetime experience for us. It's all about the location. The Kreek is you garden. The houseboat is just perfect, with big bedrooms and private bathrooms. Just forget everything and enjoy the good life!

Gabrielle & Peter were incredibly warm and welcoming hosts. I can't say enough about how friendly, helpful and full of information they were about Andros. The houseboat was amazing -- being able to swim and snorkel anytime right from the deck was wonderful. There are schools of fish directly below the house that you can swim with and so much to explore in the water. It was such a private and quiet place to be -- it was like being on a tiny private island right next to Andros. The houseboat is also close to amenities and restaurants in Fresh Creek, beautiful deserted beaches and beautiful scenery. You can easily bike everywhere you want to go and the outdoor activities from the houseboat are pretty limitless. It's an amazing place and we absolutely want to go back for another visit to Andros and Gabrielle and Peter's houseboat.

We had a fantastic time at the Sunset Point Houseboat. Gabrielle and Peter could not be more welcoming and warm. They even have a handy book of all the things you have to do while you are on the island. This house is really one of a kind location: we woke up to sunrises over the water and watched the spectacular sunsets from the deck. We fed the fish off the deck, had coffee while dangling our feet in the water and watched the birds and marine life (fish, rays and dolphins). It's a very quiet and serene getaway (just don't forget the bug spray!)

Tina,是一个美丽温柔的母亲,女儿漂亮有礼貌,儿子帮了我们好多忙,每天把我们洗好的衣服叠的整整齐齐送过来,房子干净又安静,布置的很漂亮,Tina有空的时候总是接送我们,如果上班,也会安排其他人接送,带我们去吃当地美食,给我们安排行程,我们在这里度过了五天的愉快时光,感谢Tina!如果你来拿骚,就来这里吧!

My host made my husband and I feel welcome she greeted us with so much love and respect. The neighborhood was beautiful quite and peaceful. Tina has an amazing personality and loving heart. We advice anyone that's visiting the Bahamas to go to Rustic Charm Private Suite you will have an amazing experience.

awesome place very nice and clean!

Tina is truly a super host! We got lost coming from the airport and she came and got us on her lunch break from work! She was always checking in to make sure that we had everything that we needed! She also brought us some homemade bread that was delicious!! She can also recommend good authentic food around the area! The room is very clean, the wifi works great, and the air condition kept the room comfortable! We had a great relaxing week in Nassau and cannot thank Tina enough for her hospitality!

Clean and comfortable! I liked having the key left so we could arrive when we needed to. Being close to the airport helped in our early departure. Needed to drive to restaurant but we had a car so no problem. Recommended.

Tina was a great host, she helped us with arrangements to and from the airport. The private suite was exactly what we needed - it was very cozy and clean. Thanks again!

Tina's place is amazing! And Tina herself is a great, friendly and welcoming hostess. After I arrived with an overpriced taxi from the airport (its 10 min from the airport), Tina offered to drive me to town to get some things, and she arranged someone to drive me to the airport the morning I left for less than a third I paid for the taxi! The suite itself is, truly charming, tastefully designed, clean. There were rose petals on the bed when I arrived, there was a fact bottle waiting on the bed with 2 glasses. I was extremely impressed with everything. Totally recommend this place for a single traveler or a couple.

we had a wonderful experience and our host went above and beyond our expectations.
