Our new favorite
This has become our favorite rental in the Bahamas. We live in Miami and make several trips in our boat each year. The dock set up is top notch. The house is comfortable, well located and appointed, and has a beautiful view. The kids loved the pool. Ruthann is a Bahamas veteran and will help you with anything you ask. She is well organized and reliable. We are already talking about next year.

Sea Side Cottage
RuthAnn is a long time resident of Great Harbour and has a lot of experience renting this property. She was there when we arrived and gave us a lengthy tour of the house and facilities and explained how things worked there. We traveled with another family on two boats and this property accommodated us all very well.

An amazing week in paradise with an amazing host!
I knew after hanging up the phone with Ruthann that this was going to be an outstanding vacation, it started with our host picking us up at the airport , something we certainly didn't expect, she had bicycles, kayaks, fishing gear and nearly anything you would want that you were unable to bring over on your own to the island. our host took us on a guided kayak tour of the infamous shark Creek were we saw wildlife in and out of the water and tons of sunshine. When we would return from a day at the beach we would find ourselves floating in her freshwater swimming pool with a cold beer in hand, and at night we would fire up her stainless grill and throw a slab of meat on for dinner, if it's fish you want, she'll take you to the dock where her friends have an abundance of fresh fish caught daily as well as fresh Conch. We spent our time fishing off her dock which couldn't of been more than 25 steps from our cottage, we caught plenty of fish, Snapper, Grouper and Parrot Fish, We did rent a jeep that she reserved for us at the marina for the week of our stay ...$40 daily. My wife and I have flown or airplane in to many of the Bahama out islands but Great Harbor Cay is by far our favorite to date, the beaches are the most Beautiful beaches we've seen to date and the residents of the island were very accommodating as they have been freinds of Ruthann's most of their lives. Ruthann was a great host and now a great friend, we would like to return In May and do a little more fishing off that dock! Thanks Ruthann! for a wonderful experience, your a sweetheart!

A comfortable retreat, fully equipped house with great access to marina, harbor.
The house comfortably slept our family of four with room to spare. The kitchen is fully equipped, and the owner Ruthan went to great lengths to provide us with all the gear we needed--kayaks, bikes, even fishing rods so our son could fish off the dock. The home is clean and the pool a great place to cool off after a hot day at the beaches. Ruthan also served as our tour guide extraordinare on the island. She was a wealth of information on the best places to kayak, the best beaches, where to eat and where to shell. I would highly recommend a stay at Ruthan's home, the combination of the owner's customer service and privacy of the large home is ideal for a Bahamian retreat.

Why they chose this property

I have cruised by boat in the Bahamas for many years and seen many island but when I came into Great Harbour , it was so beautiful and the people were so warm and friendly, I knew I was home.

What makes this property unique

Being on a 6 mile island that is only a mile wide at the widest point, allows you easy and fast access to beaches, harbour, shelling and exploring uninhabited areas within minnutes.
