Undeveloped Bahamian Beauty
Posted Mar. 4, 2024 on HomeAwayThe location of this property on a beautiful beach is perhaps the best on North Andros. The House is clean and comfortable. The Caretaker (Zona) is very helpful and knowledgeable. Nicholls Town is a beautiful little town with very friendly people and several choices for simple good places to eat and have a drink. There are adequate places nearby to purchase groceries. Our neighbor caught fish and got lobster right off of our beach almost every day. Overall, we had a wonderful vacation and will be back.

Thank you James for the wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. Your description of what to expect is also appreciated as Andros is limited but does have all of the necessary amenities to make your stay a fantastic one from food and drink choices, hosting some of the best fishing in the world, to having wonderful, friendly local residents. /
We look forward to your return!
Sincerely,
Francine

Seaglass #1
Posted Apr. 20, 2023 on HomeAwayA little oversold. House #1 was nice, it had a great view and access to the beach. It wasn't as private as presented, compound was shared with another party and or the owner. Beach was not exclusively private, locals could use the area. Not all promised amenities were available.

Thank you David for your review, I’m so sorry that you were not satisfied with your stay. I will take this opportunity to put some clarity around your points of concern. The first sentences on our listing clearly state that this is one of two, beach front villas, that they are steps apart (approximately 50 feet). We clearly detail the shared and not shared areas and that it is a very private property with plenty of common and private areas to accommodate all preferences. The SeaGlass Villa’s are located on a large beach front property, on a point, with no Neighbors north or south. It is pure beach on either side, I’m not sure how much more private we can be except for when both villas are rented at the same time. Even then, we have never had anyone complain about not enough space or privacy so I am sorry you felt that way. The owner (me) was not on the property during your stay and we are never there when guests are on the property , so I’m not sure who you are referring to . There is only one other villa and our local host Zona who takes care of all of our guests does not live on site. As for the beach and some locals walking on it, no one owns beach, it is there for all to use however because the locals respect us and our privacy you may see the odd local Bahamian walk along the beach with a fishing line trying to catch dinner and that’s about it. David you said a bbq and fins were not available, they are 100% available to all guests, you never asked for these during your stay. Zona puts these away to avoid theft and salt corrosion but makes sure that all guests have all amenities available at all times, that is what we offer and deliver. All amenities are listed on our site and everything is available at all times. We make sure that all amenities are kept in good functioning order. It is unfortunate that you were not satisfied with your stay, we only wish that you would have brought up your concerns to either Zona or myself so that we could have accommodated your requests while you were there.

Just what the doctor ordered
Posted Mar. 11, 2023 on HomeAwayI was recovering from an injury and Seaglass vila1 was just perfect. This studio apartment is beautiful and wonderfully appointed. the kitchen is so well equipped. The WIFI was good. We kayaked, walked the big beach next door ( the one in front of the house is small but great for launching the kayaks and sitting and snorkeling off of. And then there is Zona. Zona manages the property but is so much more! We went fishing with him for a day, he brought dinner over for us one night and is a wealth of information about Nicoll's Town (born and raised). He even showed us some of his favorite places. We were there for 6 nights . We rested, we were active and were restored and recovered. Thank you Francine for offering this very special private hideaway

Peaceful Gem
Posted Mar. 1, 2023 on HomeAwayTruly a beautiful spot!
First, there were some definite uncertainties going into this trip, this isn’t an all inclusive resort. But once you relax into the unknowns & embrace the island life, you will see that everything works out & will be ready to live the simple life. Francine was most helpful & arranged our charter flights from Nassau to Andros. When we arrived in Nassau we got a taxi the short distance to the smaller charter airport. Once there, we felt a little confused by the process but everyone was friendly & kept assuring us our pilot was on the way. After a couple hour wait (remember this is island time) our pilot (Craig) arrived & we loaded up with a few locals into a small, seemingly well worn plane and took off. What started off as a ‘what are we getting into’ quickly dissolved into exhilaration and excitement. The local pilot was skilled & was it was the smoothest & most beautiful flight I’ve had. Be sure to stop at the grocery on your way to the villa even if you aren’t sure what you want. Selection is basic but they have meat, dairy, fruit and veggies. There is a store close to the villa but it has a smaller selection. We ended up cooking most of our own meals as there weren’t many restaurants open during our visit. We did go to the Driftwood owned by Zona’s sister, food was delicious!! The local people speak English but have a heavy accent so you may find yourself asking them to repeat again. Most people were friendly & helpful! Relax & enjoy the beauty:)

Peace & Tranquility
Posted Jan. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayWe rented Seaglass Villa 1, which is well-represented in the pictures provided.
Our goals of privacy and seclusion, on a beach, in order to completely disconnect for reading and soaking up some sun were completely met at the Seaglass Villa property. Our communication experience with Francine and with Zona were prompt and pleasant.
As long as visitors understand that they are renting a private residence on a beach in a rural Bahamian town, they will not be disappointed in this property.

Fantastic trip!
Posted Jan. 13, 2023 on HomeAwayWe just spent 8 days on the property and didn’t want to come home. We went with another couple and had both villas. The location could not be better. We had the whole compound to ourselves and it was just amazing. Zona was absolutely fantastic! He is so helpful and he and his wife cooked us an amazing dinner our first night. He also stocked groceries and drinks so we didn’t have to worry about anything after our long trip. He took both couples bone fishing and put us on some great fish. We had a blast. We also fished from the shore at the villas and caught barred Jack there. Zona’s sister owns the Driftwood and the food was amazing. Best pulled pork sandwiches and conch chowder ever. We met some great people in Nicholls Town and rode the villa’s bikes all over town. I’d recommend One for the Road with Marilyn and The Cabin with Nikki. The location is remote and you’re on island time so flexibility is key. The only downside of the trip is the bugs were horrendous. There’s nothing the owner and Zona can do about that and they do provide bug spray. I recommend using it early and often. We felt so welcomed and the people we met were so friendly and kind. We will for sure go back, but we will stay longer next time. Thanks to Zona for making this an amazing trip for us!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Julie! We really enjoyed hosting you and hope you will return again in the near future. Regarding the "no-seeums" as they are called, or sand flies, these guys can be tricky. They don't bother me at all and they love my husband so it all depends upon the person. We do supply bug spray just in case of sensitivities and "Skin so soft" works amazing! Thank you again for being our guests.

Great Stay On Andros
Posted Nov. 25, 2022 on HomeAwayMy husband and I had an incredible stay at this property. Francine and Zona were both highly communicative, very helpful and made our stay seamless and memorable. Wish we would’ve stayed longer!

Absolutely, the nicest place I’ve stayed while visiting Andros
Posted Apr. 28, 2022 on HomeAwayI cannot say enough good things about this property. The location, the level of comfort, the view and the amenities are absolutely first class. The only thing better than the property, is Zona the property manager, Bernadette his wife, and Francine the property owner. The instant I had a question, or a need, it was taken care of in the friendliest and most efficient way possible. Truly a world-class, wonderful experience. 10 out of 10, five stars, I cannot wait to go back!

Great time
Posted Apr. 11, 2022 on HomeAwayWe very much appreciated our stay recently. Quite peaceful and relaxing area.
Community is very friendly and always felt very safe. Wish there has been more info provided about local restaurants, groceries, etc. Took us a couple days to figure out where the restaurants, stores etc were and just as long to understand how they operate. Ie restaurants may not be open. Definitely want to call ahead and let them know you want to come and they will open up. All online info was a couple years out of date for things around the community.
Loved the villa and the property. Would strongly recommend it.

Thank you Lena for your wonderful review. We enjoyed hosting your group of 4 in both of our SeaGlass Beach Front Villa's and so happy that you all enjoyed your stay. Your specific comments have been addressed below....with regard to restaurants, we will continue to keep our information updated as Covid has made it a bit challenging when documenting all open restaurants. Andros is a sleepy island and hours may vary considerably from day to day. Our best advice is to refer to Zona for the latest and greatest in the area so that he can book ahead for you and you don't ever have to wait a few days to figure things out...that is what we are here for and Zona, your local host is always available at your service!
We hope you will return again in the future and thank you again for being our guests!

Honeymoon
Posted Nov. 3, 2021 on HomeAwayThis property is exactly as pictured! Secluded, remote, romantic place to spend our honeymoon together ❤️Francine is an amazing host communicated with us the entire time upon arrival to departure. The added benefit to this place is Zona our local friend that picked us up from the airport, had our kitchen stocked with provisions we requested, & so much more!! My husband is an avid Fly Fisherman… Zona was our guide for 3 days in the mangroves & flats of this beautiful tropical paradise which made this trip even more spectacular experiencing the beauty & tranquility of Andros. Make sure if you book this villa to read all reviews & also Francine post as it is very quiet & remote if that’s what your after it’s fabulous! We stayed in Villa #1 & loved it! We hope to celebrate future anniversaries there again, making friends with Zona was the best 😎thank you Francine & Zona! CHEERS!🥂
