We're happy to be able to say that both the house and the boats made it safe thru hurricane Irma.

Other people, whole islands, were not as lucky.

"Tess and Olav have mastered the art of AirB&B! Their house is VERY CLEAN and Well Organized! We only had to stop for groceries. Their kitchen is fully equipped and all the beds are super comfortable! We choose to rent a van at Brads rental car from the airport and it facilitated us to see more of the island. They gave us all kinds of helpful tips and ideas of what to see around the island! They really thought about everything! You'll find some kind notes left around the house to guide you. From beach towels/bags to social games and outdoor equipments like kayak, they have it all set up! My family mostly enjoyed the private pool and the big dinning table that can comfortably sit 8! (a high chair for babies is also available) We were able to gather for our traditional family dinners and that really made us feel right at home! We really enjoyed our experience from day one! Tess and Olav where very fast to respond to the emails. They made our last minute booking stress free and our stay very pleasant! I would definitely recommend it to everyone!"

"We absolutely loved our stay at Tess and Olav's place. The house is really well equipped with everything needed for preparing meals or a day on the beach.

Tess is a great communicator and it was a pleasure arranging our stay with her. For anyone considering a holiday on Grand Bahama island, I would strongly recommend their place"

The latest review:

"Genuinely cannot speak highly enough of this place. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING was exactly as promised from an effortless handover upon arrival to a swift getaway when we (rather reluctantly) had to return home.

The location is excellent - only a 5 min drive from Freeport but you feel wonderfully secluded, the silence only broken by the odd calling bird, the chug of a passing boat - oh yeah and the kids in the pool but that was kinda of our own doing.

Facilities are first rate and the little things have been thought of - there is washing liquid and dishwasher tabs, there is a Bluetooth speaker, there are bath robes and beach towels, fine glasses for dinner through to cheap plastic beakers for the pool.

'home from home' is an over-used cliche but we all genuinely felt at home within moments of arrival.

There is no doubt that we will be making a return trip."
