Property was exactly as described, clean, comfortable, and has amazing views!

Absolutely magical property. The views are indescribably beautiful. Everything you need is here!

What a great house! Would definitely stay here again.

We’ve been visiting the Bahamas for 20 years but this was our first time to Long Island. From the moment we walked through the front door of the Marings, we knew we’d picked the right place to stay! The views of Lochabar Bay and the cays across the way are simply stunning—sweeping and expansive, and yet the location and configuration of the thoughtfully landscaped property allow for complete privacy. Having kayaks on hand was terrific as we were able to see even more from the water: turtles, small sharks and schools of fish, barracuda, sea stars, sand dollars… The cottage setup, décor, and furnishings (both inside and out) are comfortable and in keeping with a beach house, which we thoroughly appreciated (wood, rattan, cushioned). The kitchen is well equipped, living and eating areas spacious, and bedrooms perfect for listening to the ocean waves while drifting to sleep. We were glad for other amenities as well: the outdoor shower, large washing machine, two clotheslines, bbq grill, cooler and chairs to take to the beaches, a cupboard full of games and puzzles.Since we were lucky enough to have four weeks on Long Island, we took the opportunity to explore just about everywhere. Each time we returned to “our” cottage, we truly felt we were home. Our sincere thanks to the Marings for sharing their place!
