Amenities
In the kitchen is a VHF radio, which serves as a local telephone system. You can use it to make dinner reservations, for the ferry, or to entertain yourself by listening to all of the conversations. The kitchen is very well equipped for almost any of your needs and includes a blender, a microwave, coffee maker, a toaster and a dishwasher. There is a charcoal grill for your enjoyment (please leave hot coals in grill for at least 24 hours before throwing them into the garbage pail). We have 24-hour city electricity, as well as an auxiliary generator in case of a power failure. Two bedrooms have queen-size beds and one bedroom has two singles. Both baths have stall showers. The water is collected off the roof in a cistern under the house and we ask that you be as careful as possible about wasting water. Towels, linens, and blankets are supplied, but beach towels are not. Please bring your own. A lovely ocean beach is only a three-minute walk from our property across the island.
Activities in the Area
By now if you are not already familiar with the Abacos, you have an idea that this is not Miami or Nassau. The Abacos are for those whose nighttime activities require no more than nice restaurants and an occasional Calypso band with dancing. Evenings are spent reading, playing games, listening to music, or watching TV. The Sea of Abaco is a protected body of water with miles and miles of calm sandy beaches and several quaint villages for you to explore. There are many places for you to cross the islands or take your boat to get to deserted ocean beaches. Snorkeling and skin diving can be done in shallow or deep water and the choices are numerous. For the true diving enthusiast, the reefs are magnificent with wrecks, two underwater marine parks, and miles and miles of reefs to explore on the ocean side of the islands. Combine this with the clearest water in the world and that spells beautiful diving. Fishing is great and includes. wahoo, grouper, snapper, marlin, tuna, sailfish, bonefish, and dolphin. Other species can be found just a short distance offshore. There are excellent local guides and charters available at reasonable prices. Tanks can be rented and filled at Dave's Dive Shop in Town.
