Was in the area for a work trip and had a great time at Maring Beach House. There is a plenty of space, and you’re right at the edge of the beautiful water. Definitely a good spot for quiet and to relax. Had a lot of amenities (no TV, but in this case that’s a good thing), and kitchen had a good assortment of cookware. It’s a rock beach rather than sand where the house accesses the water, but still the exquisite warm blue waters of the Bahamas. Sue was super helpful and communicative, and very flexible some last minute requests. You’re not close enough to any shops to walk, so a rental car is still a must, but you are just a 5-10 minute drive from the couple of stores and restaurants in Clarence Town. Would definitely stay here again, and recommend you do as well!

We are so grateful to sue for opening up this beautiful beach home for people to enjoy. I feel most pictures can be so deceiving when it comes to rentals. That was not the case with this. This home emExceeded expectations. The water is amazing, no real need to go a lot of other places, everything you need is there. Thanks again!

We had a lovely holiday at Marings Beach House. The location is great and the sea view from the large deck was the highlight for us the turquoise sea colours were a delight. We swam right by the house and our boys enjoyed catching Hermit Crabs and watching the wild life..We stayed for three weeks and hope to return again soon. The house is very well equipped there is AC but we didn’t use as there was always a sea beeeze.

Gorgeous place for a family that would like to get away from the crowds and city life. We spent 3 weeks and we had one of the best vacations in our life. Great privacy. Tons of beautiful places around the island. The best restaurant on the island 5 min away.

Great location. Property is exactly as described online. Air conditioning works great, but the house is incredibly well ventilated with all the windows open. Clean, great landscaping, and incredible view. House is walking distance to the marina (about a mile), which is the nicest marina I’ve seen in the Bahamas. Good food there and lots of fish to check out when the sportfishers clean their catch. Check out Tiny’s and Max’s. Max’s has great conch fritters

From the moment I walked in to the house I felt my blood pressure drop, and my mind flashed on Robinson Crusoe. I immediately turned to my wife and told her we made a mistake, we should have booked longer.. much longer...which we did for next year before we even left. I think that pretty much says about everything. Our days started with a cup of joe on the deck overlooking beautiful Lochabar Bay, a little breakfast and then off to explore a new beach everyday. Private beaches and sun kissed days... it doesn't get any better than that. Very nice house in a very private setting.

Upon arrival we were immediately relaxed at the casual feel of the house and the magnificent view from the deck, of the beautiful turquoise water. We had all the amenities we needed, plus a warm outdoor shower which was a pleasant surprise. Ernest was very kind and called to make sure we were enjoying our stay at the house. Being only a stone's throw from the the waters edge gave us the opportunity to swim everyday, take walks on nearby Lochabar Beach and kayak across the bay over to the barrier islands. We did enjoy exploring other parts of Long Island, taking a tour of Hamilton's Cave with Leonard Cartwright and going fishing with Locksley to catch our dinner, however most of our time was spent at the house, as we found that it was our favorite place to be.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Maring's Beach House which accommodated 2 adult couples perfectly. The house is beautifully and privately located overlooking the incredible Bahama blue water. The house was clean, comfortable and well furnished. It is a great location for beach walking, swimming, kayaking and exploring the island. Many thanks to the Marings for sharing their home.

Beautiful private property. Stunning beaches. Very clean. Easy access to Clarence Town for food and restaurants. Great access to beaches on both coasts. Highly recommended if you want to wind down in some peace and quiet.

We just returned from a great Thanksgiving week vacation and already planning to return soon. The house was great and the location is one of the best on the island. After driving from one end of the island to the other and everywhere in between, we couldn't be happier with our choice of where to stay. There is nothing fancy about the house but thats what gives it the true island vibe that we were looking for. Great views, comfortable breezes, and the sounds of the waves on the rocks. The layout was great as well and with the daybeds in the living room, you can lounge around and even use them for extra bunks if needed. The wood beamed tent ceilings and some local artwork were nice touches on the interior. The property manager Ernest was a great host and gave us some good local knowledge as well. We have travelled to almost every island in the Bahamas and they all have a different feel. This was our second trip to Long Island and it definitely ranks high on the list. If you want to get away from the tourists and the crowds, this is the place. It is a relatively undiscovered gem with some of the nicest resident islanders you are going to meet.

House is situated a stone's throw from the water on a protected bay with white sand beaches all to yourself. There were three in our group and the household amenities could have supported twice our number.Clarence Town is a tiny little village in a remote but relatively accessible part of the Bahamas. If you are looking for a beautiful and quiet place with clear water and little development, this is your spot.The property manager was available to help us with questions regarding any aspect of our stay on the island.The absence of air conditioning was only an issue on still nights when the no-see-ums would get thru the screens. We understand that air conditioning will be installed. As long as there is a breeze, which is most of the time, it is very comfortable with overhead fans and open windows. We would give five stars next time once there is a remedy for the no-see-ums

What a great place! My husband and I had a lovely, restful vacation in this perfectly appointed and comfortable home. My first inclination was to tell no one, as in " call a place paradise and kiss it goodbye" but this lovely house on it's gorgeous beach , near the picturesque town of Clarence Town, Long Island, will live in our memories forever .
