vacation rental description

If you are seeking the ultimate luxury vacation with privacy and romance than look no further. Experience your island sanctuary with breathtaking views of the crystal blue ocean and your own private beach house located directly on the beach, (2 villas steps away from each other, 2 guests per unit) beautifully decorated with gorgeous Caribbean furniture, a luxurious king size bed featuring the highest quality linens, ultra plush bath towels, and comfy white waffle weave, spa robes. With no neighbours in site, imagine upon your arrival that you are greeted with drinks on ice, smooth island music and some delicious Bahamian dishes prepared especially for you. Sink into complete bliss with an on site professional massage, a cool cocktail with your loved one while sitting in your own private screened in deck or relaxing on a hammock under the majestic Casarinas....your choice. A large plazma screen satellite TV, stereo system and free wifi will get you in the vacation mood while keeping you connected.
Your vacation sanctuary offers complete privacy, beautiful white sand beaches, and crystal clear water surrounding the property as it is on a point, creating the most incredible panoramic views, sun rises and ultimate relaxation. The properties are located on "Nicholl's Town Point" which is on the North East side of Andros Island. The beach heading both north and south of the property are virtually void of any buildings or people however, within walking distance (2 minutes) you will find the local tikki huts serving native dishes, drinks, and small grocery stores. We believe our point holds one of the most incredible views in the Caribbean where the ocean surrounds you on both the north and east side of the property creating a stunning panoramic view. Andros Island is the perfect holiday to bring your flip flops, sunscreen, and a great book. It is also a great place for self made activity such as going for a run on a cool crisp morning and listening to the roosters crow, meandering around the village by foot or bicycle, taking a long walk on the beach and jumping in the ocean to cool off, snorkling along one of the largest barrier reefs in the world, fish all day -deep sea or bone fish and catch dinner for the night.

LIVING AREA SET UP:
Each unit is a self contained, clean, open concept design with lots of light. Each unit has its own private bathroom, fully stocked open concept kitchen and living area.

ACTIVITIES:
AndrosIsland is full of activities to do both in and out of the water. Whether it's fishing for trophy-size fish, exploring ancient ruins, bird-watching, hunting for buried treasure, meandering through quaint coastal towns and villages, shopping for batik fabrics or simply soaking up the tropical sunshine,AndrosIsland has something for everyone.

BICYCLES:
Bicycles are available for rent. Tour the areas surrounding Nicholl’s Town. We have maps and suggested itineraries. Or bike a few miles south to an inland blue hole for a fresh water swim.

FISHING:
Book a 1/2 or full day. Andros offers world class Bonefishing, reef fishing, deep sea fishing—you can do it all! You can hire a guide for a day or just cast a line off the point right on your own private beach. Andros is known as the "Bonefish Capital of the World".

MASSAGE:
Book an on site massage: a massage therapist will come to you, enjoy a massage on the beach or under a shady tree with a relaxing breeze

DIVING & SNORKLING:
AndrosIsland has world renowned diving and fantastic reefs for snorkeling. You can dive during the day, night dives, shark dives, and one-on-oneSpecialty Dives anytime. All of this on the Andros Barrier Reef - the 3rd largest reef system in the world! A day trip by boat can be arranged for a fee plus there is plenty of great snorkeling along the shore.

WILD BOAR HUNTING
Andros has an abundance of wild boar. You can hire a guide to take you hunting for a day through the mangrove swamps! This can be a dangerous trek so please do so at your own risk. This certainly is not for the faint of heart, wild boars are vicious animals and have been known to massacre multiple, pit bull dogs in one trip. Or, on a more mellow approach, you can purchase a side of boar from the hunters and cook it over a nice flame on the BBQ (we prefer this method). If you ask nicely, you might even get to keep a few tusks from their recent catch.

BIRDING
There are over 200 species of birds that inhabit theBahamas--andAndros, with its vast undeveloped land, is home to many of them.

HAMMOCKING
One of our favorite activities and can soon be one of yours….

MILES OF UNTOUCHED BEACHES
Anytime is a good time to stroll along the beach. It's perfectly safe, day or night.

COLLECTING SHELLS
Being an undeveloped island, imagine the interesting finds on a leisurely walk down a mile or two of virgin beach, you can find the most beautiful shells, sea urchins, dried coral in multiple colors, and whatever the last storm blew onto shore….

RED BAYS
Basket Weaving A remote village settled by Seminole Indians and Blacks in 1821. The basket-weaving crafts practiced here are detailed and highly advanced.

Red Bays is a very different community on Andros, originally settled by the Seminole Indians from Florida. When theUS was putting Indians in reservations, a group decided not to accept that "good deal", and hopped in their little boats, high-tailing it toAndrosIsland. The people live in a pretty 'rough' style, and it's fascinating to see.

Andros Blue Holes Below the surface of Andros Island is a complex maze of underwater caves called blue holes. Experienced recreational divers can enter from either the ocean or island entrances and retrace the steps of the famous Jacques Cousteau.

 Native Colony Ruins  About a half-mile south ofPleasantHarbour, on the inland side, are eight stone buildings dating back to the 1930s that represent the old Bahamian style of architecture.

traveler reviews for this bahamas villa rental

kick back

rest and relaxation (ontario)
Review submitted: March 2, 2013   Date of arrival: February 16, 2013

We would totally recommend this property for a relaxing vacation. The property was private enough but at the same time you could walk or bike through town feeling completely safe at anytime of the day or night. Walking distance to the property are small very cute huts that offer fresh fish and conch salad and local fare, a must to eat at. The property is a 10/10, ocean from every viewpoint and the beach houses are clean, comfortable and you can tell have been developed with a personal touch. Being a foodie, the kitchen was set up with everything I needed to make and eat wonderfully. I would recommend you bring favorite spices. The lobster is the best! The local gentlemen Leslie, who looks after the property and you for your entire stay is a gem. It is his goal to make your vacation experience unforgettable. We used him for all services we required. We suggest to have Leslie cook the first night he is amazing and will provide local fare and then have him take you shopping the next day to the Mennonite farm for fresh produce and baking. Save your liquor purchases for the larger store that he will take you to for nicer wines etc. We road the bikes everywhere, ask Leslie about Conch Sound its full of shells, the Blue Hole and kayaking is great! The water is amazing everywhere and the beach outside of the property is beautiful. This is great destination to kick back, relax and spend one on one time, we loved it. Francine and support services were all so professional and eager to help.

Beach house 2 is definitly not amazing at all

Keshar T. ()
Review submitted: February 16, 2013   Date of arrival: January 6, 2013

When we arrived at the Beach house 2, we just wanted to leave.... Its in the basement of the owner house (they were not there), it is very very small (on the pictures one can not realize it)- it is quiete dark - narrow.... The Beach house 1 is wonderfull, we were invited there and the view is just amazing, its large and beautifull. But the number 2.... Only very small windows so you hardly see the ocean. As this spot is the most windy of the Island, you cant stay outside at night and the dinner place is sad inside. The house is well furnished. The bed very confortable. So after few days we just get used to it but we will definitly never come back and it is VERY expensive for what you get. The Beach in front of the house is not so beautifull and polluted (black fuel spots everywhere but maybe its not always like that) . Again, its so windy in january that you have to go to the other side of the Island to be on a nice Beach. A great service provided by the owner is that you have a lovely person called Leslie who come every day to bring you somewhere if needed or to organize your dive, car rental.... He is very very friendly and nice. We didnt like Andros so much. There is really nothing to do there, even not a nice restaurant nearby the house. Coming from beautifull Eleuthera we were a bit disappointed. We went diving at small hope and this was a great day. But we appreciate the peace and confort of the place.

Owners response: As this is our first ever review less than 5/5, we believe these items need to be clearly addressed. Please note that half of all of our reviews are from very happy and satisfied customers who stayed in Beach House #2. Andros Island is a unique, getaway destination which is why we ask all potential guests to thoroughly review our fiddleheadproperties website as it not only provides floor plans, pictures, frequently asked questions, and complete details of the island, it also clearly outlines the island vibe.
First of all, Beach House #2 is not a basement, it is a ground level, beach front building with a roof top deck. It is a completely separate, self contained unit separate from the owners residence. Beach House #2 is not smaller than #1 and is in fact 25 square feet larger. The layout and configuration is very different from Beach House #1 but these are clearly laid out in all pictures, floor plans and documentation on our fiddleheadproperties website. Each ocean front window is 4 feet x 4 feet and has an unobstructed view of the ocean which is only 25 feet away from the building. January in Bahamas can be windy and cool. We choose this point of land because of the beautiful breeze which keeps mosquitoes and noseeums away. Regarding the eating area, it is small and designed for 2 guests. We offer Beach House #2 at a slightly lower weekly rate due to the fact that there is no screened in porch (we are pleased to say that we are adding a screened in dining area and French Doors from the living room into this dining area). One of the beautiful features of Andros is its natural beaches complete with seaweed, shells, sea glass and other finds. These beaches are not groomed daily by machinery. Regarding activities on Andros, our fiddleheadproperties website provides an abundance of activities, places to go, and notes about the fact that if you are looking for fine dining, action and night life, that this is not the island for you. This review is very disappointing as we strive to set clear expectations with our guests before booking so that it is the perfect vacation and a fantastic experience.

Review submitted: January 21, 2013   Date of arrival: December 17, 2012

Every Holiday Season my daughter and I travel to tropical locations. We came across Francine's place on line and did some research on the Bahamas and Andros. Everything we found on the internet met all our wish list. We love snorkelling, walking, exploring, sandy beaches but as two women we also wanted to ensure the environment was safe. Andros and the Beach house by far exceeded everything we ever wanted in a vacation. The house was beautiful - the location perfect! Leslie was amazing. He was such a welcoming host making sure we had everything we needed and WOW he is a great cook! The beach house, Andros and Leslie gave us a vacation that left us longing to return. We are actually returning in July and bringing two friends with us. I can't wait to share the beauty and peace of Andros. Thank you Francine for sharing your piece of paradise with us. And thank you Leslie - we can't wait to come back
