The property is on one of the nicest beaches anywhere. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The cottages are right on the beach. The cottages are well thought out for a family of 4 with 2 double beds and 2 singles.

Wonderful!

We had a lovely four night stay in this idyllic spot. The beach is perfect - amazing white sand with lovely clear water. A real opportunity to get away from it all and a long way from the crowded tourist hotels of Nassau. Many guests return and I can understand why. Our two boys (10 and 14 years) loved it too.

Staff was wonderful. Grounds are well-maintained and clean. Rental cars were available on-site. For those who are new to snorkeling or have kids, there's a good spot at the gut at the northern end of the property if people aren't fishing there. Snorkeling's also good at the Columbus monument's beach, a short drive north of CSMBR.

100000000/10 stars. A true tropical paradise and we felt very taken of …. we did not want to leave. Will try to go back every year. Every picture is like a postcard but still doesn’t do the property justice. Lots of great new friends and adventures.

This property is absolutely beautiful! Hardly anyone on the beach, very laid back. Not everything is perfect, our safe didn't work, could only lock door from inside villa, they didn't have the proper tip to inflate our floaties, but you have to remember you are in a remote area. You also have to remember you are on island time!! No one is in a hurry. We loved this place and will be back.

No GRACE given

This trip was accidentally booked to Bermuda and we are visiting the Bahamas. I am still waiting to see if they will issue a refund. It's a shame that I am being penalized for an error made unknowingly. We never used their accommodations so it's pretty upsetting that I'd have to pay almost $500 for an unoccupied room.
