The pool was wonderful. The home was great. We met the guests at the other two houses which was fun. Can’t say enough about how great Harrison is! You can’t go wrong by staying here.

Take off your watch and shut off your phone cause you have reached paradise. Nice house with deck overlooking the ocean and pool in the backyard, there were days we just listened to the ocean and cooled off in the pool. Spent two weeks on the island and enjoyed long walks on the Pink Sand Beach of Greenwood, went to Olivias bakery for some fresh baked goodies and of course a visit to the highest point in the Bahamas.. Make sure you take advantage of caretaker host Harrisons Kings catering, we had the cracked conch.. Harrison even came by with some fruits/vegetables from his garden for us to enjoy..It was so peaceful and enjoyable place to stay on a great island..Already thinking about a return trip next year and would stay at this place..

2nd stay at the gate house and everything was perfect. The house has everything you need for a private relaxing stay. Will definitely return.

We stayed for 6 days and everything was absolutely wonderful! Harrison went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Definitely have him cater your arrival meal. Our mistake was not booking for a longer stay, Will definitely stay here again in the future.
