Amazing family getaway

We had 6 adults and 3 children under 4 and this house was so awesome! We could’ve fit more people comfortably. Everything was so clean and organized! Plenty of kitchen supplies and plenty of towels. And communication with the owners and property manager was great! Can’t wait to stay here again next summer!

Amazing dive trip

We come to West End from Palm Beach and Broward counties (Florida) at least once per summer, and this was only the second time I haven’t stayed at Old Bahama Bay (stayed at Bootle Bay once about 10 years ago). The location near OBB was great, the house was very clean and had a frigid a/c!!, and the service was impeccable. We had a slight issue with the grill not working, and literally within an hour we had a new part delivered. Nothing ever happens that fast in the Bahamas!! Having the boat on the dock right next to a private pool was the perfect combination for cleaning fish/lobster/conch while having drinks!

Paradise

We had a great stay. The house was perfect. Room for 10 to sleep comfortably. Pool was beautiful and welcoming after a long day on the boat. We stayed for 10 days and enjoyed it all. Beaches great, boat dock was great, fresh fish every night. If you’re looking for the perfect Bahamas vacation this is it. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home.

house with pool and boat dock

We enjoyed our stay here with our group of 10. House has a nice layout with 5 bedrooms. we came by boat so it was nice to have the boat dock and when we weren't boating we hung by the pool. A great vacation.

Luxury Island Retreat West End Bahamas was Wonderful!

10 of us stayed very comfortably in this wonderful house! The location to open water is great! Docking the boats behind the house was very convenient and safe. Security rode around the neighborhood and kept everyone and everything safe. The host responded quickly and helped out with the few extra needs we had! The house is set up great for large groups and beds were great! Can't wait to visit again soon!

Best House in West End

I have rented many homes over the years along the canals at West End at Old Bahama Bay. This one is definitely the nicest of them all! The location is perfect, the dock easily had room for both of our boats (each 32 feet) the pool and the many bedrooms and bathrooms along with a very large kitchen/great room made for a very comfortable fun location for the group to gather, make dinner and enjoy each others company and time in the pool and patio area. Its proximity to some of the best fishing spots as well as near nice snorkeling and sting ray sites make West End our preferred location when we visit Grand Bahama Island. This home is a decent walk from the main hotel with its pool and restaurant, but having our own very nice pool made that trek unnecessary However if you want to use the main hotel area I would suggest renting a golf cart or car. The staff are wonderful and address any needs you may have and kudos to the owners for maintaining the property so well. We will definitely be visiting again!

WONDERFUL!

This is a beautiful home and was the perfect home for our family! It was very well stocked with essentials as well as non-perishable food, condiments and items left from previous guests. The kids had a blast with access to the resort within walking distance. Once booked, the owner reached out directly so we could report any issues or ask questions. The owners were extremely responsive via text before and while we were there. I would go back and stay at this home for sure! Get groceries at the CostRight (like a Costco) before you drive to the West End!

Amazing week in the Bahamas!

This home was amazing! We had a blast with our family for the week. It is very spacious, well stocked and we enjoyed having 2 separate wings for our 2 families. The owner was so gracious and easy to communicate with. The local caretakers, Marvelle and John, are so kind and helped us get some extra supplies we needed from the store in Freeport. We would love to return again!!

We came by boat and stayed at this house. Check in was a breeze and house was everything we needed and more. Lots of space and kitchen is well appointed. Location is great for being close to the resort but having all the space you need with a large group, we had a great time and look forward to visiting again!
