Reviews for this vacation townhouse rental in Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas
I and my daughters enjoyed our stay at the townhouse from 2 to 12 October 2009. The weather was nice and hot (no rain!)
The apartment ist very comfortable spacious safe and clean. The most beautiful beach is a short way away.
We would recommend this apartment with pleasure to our friends and we hope also to return!
Julie is a very friendly and helpful person.
My daughters and I had a great time.
Bye Julie, we hope to see you again.

On our previous visits to Nassau - which have been many - my friends and I have always stayed on Paradise Island. This year we decided to look for accommodations on Nassau side. I am so glad that I discovered Julie's townhouse. The accommodations fit our needs perfectly. The house had everything to make this a "home away from home". It was comfortable, well maintained and well equipped. Great value for the price which included transportation from and to the airport.
Julie's warm hospitality and willingness to show us the island made us feel like members of the family. We will definitely stay again.
Upon arriving at the airport, our very friendly driver, Cheryl, drove us to the townhouse and gave us lots of tips about things to do in Nassau and how to get around. Staying at the townhouse, instead of a hotel, offered a bit of an opportunity to experience what it is like to live in Nassau. We met many friendly local people while at the beach, shopping at the market, and eating at the Fish Fry. The townhouse was clean, roomy and relaxing for our family of four, and it was very well equipped with plenty of cooking utensils, a large dining area, TV's, even laundry detergent for the washing machine. We loved walking out the back door and picking a mango to eat with our breakfast! It is a five minute walk to the beach and it was not at all crowded. The bus line is close and you can get to anywhere you want to go for $1.25. We had a great experience and look forward to our next trip back!
Our family of four enjoyed our 10 day stay at the townhome. The townhome is very clean and comfortable and we enjoyed having space to relax. It was wonderful to have a kitchen and laundry. We really enjoyed the fresh mangos! Julie was very nice and helpful both before and during our trip.
My family and I have just arrived back in Scotland after a great stay in this lovely house. Its a nice 5 min walk to the very frequent bus service and beautiful beach. Julie was very helpful,showed great Bahamian hospitality and her restaurant recommendations were excellent. The house is very clean spacious, well equipped and we will definately go back
Thanks Julie
I was recently a guest with 5 of my gf's and we had an amazing time. The house is really clean and has lots of room. It's just a bus ride away from everything. Julie was really great and got us everything we needed. Defitaltey a must to rent. Thanks Julie for everything!
The condo was very clean and had all the things listed. It was conveniently located and easy to get to. Julie was the best part! She is such a gracious, helpful and kind person. She made our stay great!
I stayed in this townhouse for a week in April 2009 with two friends. The townhouse was spacious and clean. There was alot of room for all three of us. This space would be suitable for two couples traveling together or a family. It was close to the beach and close to the 10 bus route which allowed us to travel to different parts of Nassau easily. Julie was extremely helpful and friendly and ensured that we had everything that we needed. I highly recommend this property and thank Julie for all her help and assistance. We had the most pleasant stay and can not wait to come back!
My wife and I, and our two year old, needed a last-minute escape from the Canadian cold weather. After deciding upon the Bahamas, we tried to determine where best to stay. The hotels seemed extremely over-priced for the ammenities offered and the traveller reviews received, so we decided to rent a home or apartment, as we had done before when we travelled to France.
Boy - did we luck out!
A previous reviewer of this property had commented that the homeowner and her family made you feel as if you were a part of their family. I would agree whole-heartedly with that assessment. She (and her family) were extremely accomodating, and offered rides to the grocery store and to the market. The homeowner offered tips and advice about the island, which was perfect for persons like us, who were newcomers to the Bahamas.
The property is wonderful. It is clean and new (it seems five to ten years old to me). It is quite spacious. There is plenty of room in the kitchen for preparing meals.
My husband and I and our two teenagers stayed at Julie's condo for a week and had a lovely time. Cheryl was waiting to pick us up at the airport and kindly offered her services should we need a taxi anytime during our trip. We booked her for a ride back to the condo after a dinner out downtown. The buses in Nassau stop running around between 6:30 or 7:00 pm. Julie’s condo was very clean and had all the comforts of home. There is a new barbecue for nights you would like to eat in and sample some delicious local seafood. My children enjoyed the wireless internet and a good selection of DVD's for family movie watching in the evening. Cable Beach is a short walk away and was beautiful. Julie and her family are extremely warm and friendly and their hospitality was exceptional. We learned so much about the island, its people and its culture. Julie's mom is an excellent cook who treated us to some delicious homemade Bahamian food. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.
My boyfriend and I brought his parents and stayed in this town house for a week in April. We had a great time. Julie made us feel welcome and would help us with anything we required. As soon as we arrived in the airport transportation was arranged for us, and getting to the townhouse and starting our vacation was easy. The property was extremely clean and well taken care of with all the amenities. We are definitely going to stay here again. Feel free to call me if you would like to ask about my stay. 403.461.2618
Myself and 5 friends stayed here in April for one week and had a wonderful time! It was great having Julie right next door, we felt safe and welcomed. Access to the beach was a short walk and to the buses as well. We also loved having Cheryl the taxi driver available to call if we needed her. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thanks again Julie for everything! We hope to see you again!
My husband and I stayed at Julie's townhouse for two weeks in March, 2009. We were extremely pleased with all facets of our stay. Our taxi driver, Cheryl, was at the airport upon our arrival and she provided excellent information regarding the Island during the drive to the townhouse. Once we arrived, Julie promptly showed us the townhouse. The townhouse was clean and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The stove, fridge and gas BBQ were brand new which made preparing meals very easy. On our first evening Julie took us for groceries and gave us a tour of downtown Nassau and the surrounding area. Julie frequently checked to see if there was anything we needed. Julie and her family brought us goodies, such as, homemade buns and tropical fruits during our stay. One day, Julie took us on a tour of the Island which included a trip to a fish market to buy fresh fish. When we arrived home, Julie said that her mother would cook the fish for us. That evening we were treated to
I want to say that we had most exciting time,the hospitility was fantastic, we felt like we were at a relatives house.the house was very nice and clean it had all the extras of home, Thanks the Speights family.
Nous avons passe 1 semaine formidable. !
Un accueil chaleureux, des attentions durant tout le sejour... ! L'emplacement de l'appartement offre un bon compromis entre plage et centre ville.
Très bien équipé, il permet d'accueillir une famille au complet dans d'excellentes conditions.
Pour notre premier séjour à nassau nous ne pouvions rêver mieux.
Looking for a home away from home tagged with a great price? Then this is the condo for you and your family. Just minutes away from the beach and walking distance to the famous Fish Fry we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Very clean, safe, quiet, family-friendly home equipped with everything we needed for our group of 9 people. Julie (the home owner) was very accommodating, made us feel very welcome and a part of her family. I would highly recommend this home to all my friends and family members who are traveling to the Bahamas for the first time. Thanks again Julie :)
My wife, parents and I returned from our vacation in the Bahamas in extremely high spirits thanks to Julie and her wonderful family. If you are looking for a getaway with a genuine taste of local hospitality, this is definitely the place to be! Julie did her best to make us feel perfectly at home by introducing us to Bahamian foods. In addition, she took on the role of concierge to help us plan and execute our activities such as snorkeling and sight-seeing. We felt very much at home during our visit to the Tropical Vacation Townhouse. The location is great since the #10 and #10A buses run eastward and westward. You have your choice of many, many activities just by taking these buses which are a three-to-five minute walk from the Townhouse. The surrounding community is gated, very peaceful and quiet. I have more to say about our stay at this wonderful property; please see my post by Googling: "vacationsandtravel wordpress"
Thanks again Julie!!
Great spacious, tidy, very well-maintaned place, conveniently located. Reach several beaches on foot, others by bus, taxi or rental car. Very family-friendly home equipped with everything you need. Our 1.5 year-old son was totally enthusiastic about the tropical fruits and pets in the backyard. Owners are very hospitable and attentive, we felt as part of the family. They even treated us to a luxurious Thanksgiving meal! We liked this personable and truly authentic Bahamian expericence much better than any artificial hotel environment.
To any one wanting a great get away.
We want to encourage you to stay at this condo. This is truely better than home away from home. From exotic birds in your back gearden and sweet bananas picked off the tree in your backyard. A wonderful, clean, secure, stay with all the luxuray's you'll need. Small town hospitality, complete customer satisfaction, I recomend this to my friends as a must to stay at place. The neihborhood is quiet and safe, and central for a quiet walk to catch the local bus. Totally awesome expierience.
Four of us stayed at the condo from Nov 10 to Nov 16, 2008. It was very spacious and clean. Here are the highlights of the condo:
- Great price when compared to other condos and hotel rooms.
- Two bedrooms and 2.5 baths - very clean
- Large dining table with plenty of silver ware
- Kitchen with toaster, gas stove, oven, large refrigerator
- Ceiling fans in the bedrooms and dining area.
- Central Air conditioning
- Cable TV, DVD Player
- Wireless Internet
- Washer/dryer
- About a 5 min walk to the bus stop - which takes you to Cable Beach and downtown Nassau. Bus rides are $1.25. I think this is a great option vs. renting an expensive car or scooter. Buses run until 7pm. Once bus service ends, we took taxis everywhere.
- Owners are very attentive and friendly
As you can tell, we were VERY satisfied with the condo and recommend it to anyone.
