KITCHEN:
A huge open-plan space at the center of the house and leads into the TV Entertainment Lounge, the Formal Relaxing Lounge and the Dining Room. The close proximity to these other rooms allows the whole family or group to relax or do different activities but without being separated. The large island with granite counter-top serves as a meeting place for all guests. Ample seating is available - stools at the breakfast bar and stools at the round glass table (and a high-chair is available upon request at no extra charge). This makes it a great place to have breakfast altogether, mix drinks, and chat.
​
A separate door at the back of the kitchen leads to the UTILITY ROOM with a front-loading washing machine, a separate front-loading dryer, ironing board and iron.
 
DINING ROOM:
An airy and spacious room with a large dining table and six dining chairs, and overlooks our beautiful tropical front garden.
Situated at the front of the house, it is both open plan, so that guests do not feel confined, and also separate from the other living areas, to give a little privacy and quiet. The large dresser contains all the napkins, table mats you may require for the perfect formal island dinner in the comfort of Flamingo Lane.
 
TV ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE:
This open-plan room is great for everyday living. A bright floral three-piece suite, coffee table and two side tables are surrounded by big windows that overlook the tropical garden and pool. Glass double patio doors open out onto the covered porch. A large flat-screen TV with media player and speakers provide a great entertainment area for kids and adults. There is collection of books and novels, as well as a chess set, backgammon, board games and cards.
 
FORMAL RELAXING LOUNGE:
This open-plan room is set off by a very large, comfy three-piece suite in a soft, rich red fabric. Accompanied by a big coffee table and two side tables, this is a wonderful place to spend the evening inside with cocktails, watching the sun set over the water, as the glass double patio doors open out onto the covered porch and overlook the pool fringed by coconut trees and, beyond, the canal.

Very large room with king-size bed, walk-in closet and flat-screen TV. Glass patio doors (with full blinds) lead out to patio, and pool. En-suite bathroom with shower and spa bath.

SWIMMING POOL:
​​​The 30' x 15' large swimming pool is a focus for most guests, as you can imagine! Surrounded by coconut trees and Frangipani and overlooking the canal, it is definitely our favorite spot, too!
 
PATIO AREA:
The patio area surrounding the pool is approximately 2000 sq. ft. - plenty of room for entertaining. With several comfy loungers and separate pool towels provided, it is perfect for spending days relaxing in the sunshine or sunbathing. Around the corner from the pool is a patio sheltered by palm trees and complete with a BBQ grill, a big garden parasol for some shade and a large round picnic table for outdoor dining, drinking and entertaining.
 
COVERED PORCH:
The covered porch is often many guests' favourite place to relax in the evening. The sofa and armchairs all overlook the pool and, beyond, the canal - which provides a wonderful backdrop for the most beautiful sunsets (which we seem to be treated with almost every evening!) and the ideal spot for sundowners!
 
The house is situated in a large, quiet canal basin with a private dock. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and the house has a code-operated gate at the front.
 
By boat (included), we are just a few minutes away from the ocean and beautiful beaches (often nobody else there…it's amazing). One of the best beaches is just outside of our canal entrance, less than 1/2 mile away. The boat is also ideal for just pottering around our waterway.
 
By car, we are a five minute drive to all the main attractions on the island: colorful Port Lucaya Market Place with many shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment at Count Basie Square.
 
On foot, one of the beaches is just a 1 mile walk away!
 
We would be close by to assist you should the need arise.

We first came to these beautiful islands from the UK in the early 70's and spent 10 years here working. Upon retiring we returned to Freeport with our son Richard and bought our boat to live on while we built our house. We then took off on our boat and spent 3 years enjoying the islands while our house was rented. We would now like to give the opportunity for others to enjoy our beautiful home!
Why they chose this property
Lucaya is the hub of Freeport, almost everything that goes on in Freeport happens in Lucaya. Great restaurants, bars, shops, live entertainment under the stars in Count Basie square, casino, beach access, marina, and more. All less than 2 miles away.

Fisherman's Dream


Wow! What an amazing place. We had a party of 6 and came to fish for the week. It was nice to be able to pull the boat right to the dock and have a workstation there to clean and rinse the day's catch. It was a great location to hit the ocean through the short canal. We didn't have to go far to dive for lobster, conch, and fish for various species. The house is spacious and gives everyone their own little space if needed and makes cooking/grilling nice to have everyone move about and not on top of each other. The private pool is a nice added touch when coming in from the beach/boat. Since most of the party arrived by boat, and I traveled alone Bob and Carole were so nice to arrange for a reliable and trusted taxi driver to pick me up at the airport to meet up with the rest of the guests. I HIGHLY recommend Hayward with Grand Bahama Taxi & Tours to get you to your destinations if you choose not to use the van or need a ride to and from the airport. Bob and Carole were amazing with communication and gave a list of recommendations of things to do or where to eat. We only ate out once as we took full advantage of the kitchen/grill but the LaRoc was delicious food/drinks and a cool little vibe. My husband surprised me with a "swim with the pigs" excursion which wasn't too far from the location of the house. It was nice to be able to pull up on the boat and walk onto shore have a drink and feed/swim with the pigs. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and definitely will be back!

Beautiful Location and accommodations


The Hosts Bob, Carol and Richard were extremely pleasant. House was immaculate, location was beautiful and very relaxing. Should we venture back to the Bahamas again we would definitely rent this property again.

Very Relaxing Stay


We stayed here after getting married in Nassau. It was very relaxing. The pool is a wonderful touch. The house itself is lovely and very comfortable. The location was great as well. The hosts are very accommodating and responsive. While they do stay nearby I felt like we had a lot of privacy. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Host was hospitable and professional. Richard gave me dinner recommendations that were excellent. I left some clothes and the host met us halfway to delivery my clothes! Great place! Great view and great pool- house is immaculately clean and well apportioned. Thank you Bob, Carole, and Richard! Smith Family
