House in Central Abaco
Reasons to book
About this house rental
This property has numerous amenities that set it apart from most Bahamas rentals: a 50,000 Watt generator to ensure continuous electricity during the inevitable power outages ; and, and a high pressure pump to ensure constant water pressure. However, again, in the Bahamas these amenities can be quite temperamental. Also, there is a Tiki bar with a gas grill . Gas grill works great ; but, like most gas grills, the ignitor went out a long time ago.For lighting lift far left grate and use either lit paper towel or long lighter to reach burner then turn burner on . The tiki bar was recently recently renovated , including rebuilding commercial gas grill; and, it is awesome for poolside entertaining . Amenities also include 35-foot boat slip with 6 foot depth at low tide ; and, water filtration system. We also provide beach chairs, toys, and towels, as well as 2 beach cruiser bicycles. If the tiki bar grill is unavailable we have a back-up gas grill and small charcoal grill, which my husband prefers for his heart-clogging, thick steaks.,
Although the Abacos is well-known for its low crime rate, we installed extra security precautions: a wall safe to store your valuables; extra flood lights on the house exterior; and, the dock area has motion-activated lights. We also installed cameras to remotely monitor the boat slip and driveway .
As my husband is an avid foodie, the kitchen is extremely well-stocked with cookware, utensils, appliances, and storage containers. The 5-burner electric stove will allow you to easily cook a feast for a large gathering; and, there are 12 dining seats available. For those that don't want to eat in , there are a handful of dining out options. The beachfront Bahamas Beach Club has reopened; the food is a little pricey but excellent . It offers a beautiful view when dining outside . Ditto for recently re-opened Treasure Sands :pricey but excellent food; and awesome scenery dining right on the beach. The landmark Florence's Café (Flo's) now serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Her cinnamon buns are an absolute must when visiting Treasure; and ,her grouper fingers meal is delicious. A take-out dining option is Creative Hands. Don't let the exterior---a dilapidated trailer--- fool you.The food is delicious. I highly recommend their tasty cole slaw ; it goes great with fish tacos made with your catch of the day .A really neat restaurant is Coop’s . It is just a few miles down Bootle highway towards marsh Harbour . Sunset Pizza serves great pizza, oven fired .Lastly, for those who want a delicious meal but don't want to leave the house, have it catered by Nettie's Kitchen Catering. Desiree and Deniro operated a restaurant A touch of Class pre-Dorian . They prepare and deliver authentic Bahamian cuisine. We have not tried it yet . The reviews are impressive ; and, the prices are very reasonable . A new restaurant, Sunset Pizza, has recently opened. We ate there on our last visit; and, the Italian style pizza is very, very good.
The Abacos is coming back strong. We definitely recommend bringing or renting a boat to do a little island-hopping when visiting Treasure . Dodge's Book "Cruising the Abacos" is an excellent resource for navigation . Our favorite hot-spots are Grabbers and Nippers on Great Guana and Big O's on No-Name. And don't forget about Cap'n Jacks in Hopetown on Elbow Cay. About a 45 minute boat ride but Hopetown is a trend little settlement to trek around. If you are flying into Marsh Harbor, we can help you arrange for a driver to pick you up, take you to Maxwell's/beverage store to stock up, and then deliver you to the house. We have a caretaker that will respond immediately to any issues that may arise.
If you have a large group, there are two neighboring homes with identical house plans and use of pool/cabana with private boat slips. Their VRBO numbers are 3137520 and 2939381.
For boaters, we have 2 photos showing the aerial view of where our house/dock is located. The lat/lon is 26-40-21 N 77-16-30 W . We also have water and electricity at the slip ; we installed cleats because Johnny hates wrapping lines around poles.
I look forward to hosting your group .
