Mcgregor House - Villa by The Bay

We stayed for 5 nights and loved our stay at the villa overall, as well as meeting Gilly and his father. Both of them are super kind. The place is well decorated and has everything one needs for a short stay. The location is easy to find, but you must show drivers the map with the full address because some of them didn’t know where it was and refused to look at the map until we begged, lol. Tip: tell them it’s in front of the cemetery, which is pretty, not scary. You can even walk through it to get to the center, btw. It’s also very close to Junkanoo Beach (though our favorite was Cabbage Beach, further away), and to a grocery store where you can find SIM cards, if helpful, but far enough from the noise.

We can’t give it a 10 because the mattress wasn’t comfortable. It sank when we lay down and moved whenever any of us moved, which gave us back pain and led to shorter nights of sleep. We solved part of it with some of the pillows, but it’s definitely far from the quality we expected. I’m also a host and offer better mattresses to my guests. Lastly, we appreciated receiving our luggage early, but it was placed inside a plastic container under direct sunlight, so some of the things inside melted, including a pair of earrings. It’s worth keeping that in mind for future guests.

If Nassau, only McGregor House – Villa by The Bay. Gilly is simply the best host in Nassau — professional, reliable, incredibly welcoming, and always making sure every guest feels special. Thanks to him, the whole experience becomes unforgettable. If you’re looking for someone who knows Nassau perfectly and truly cares about people, Gilly is the one.

The location was amazing! I could walk to Junkanoo beach, straw market, fish fry and McDonald’s etc.

I didn’t like the light shower pressure but the water got extremely hot and that matters most to me.

No breakfast , very basic room with no amenities. Room with no view , felt closed in, no safe box. Bathroom very run down with barely any space for toileteries. Really steep rickety stairs to climb up and down. Only the aircon was working well. Gili was helpful.

Need a window with a view, need a safe box for our valuables , need a remote that works, need better appliances , need a vanity for the wash basin, a better mirror , better bath curtain etc. you can’t charge these prices with such basic and spartan room conditions.
