Make sure to buy soap before you come. Most places accept US credit cards and well as US dollars (Though they give you change in Bahama dollars). They are pretty responsive to requests.

Great Place to Stay

It was a cozy place to stay. Within walking distance of Adastra and the fish fry. If you don't mind a 25 minute walk, you can walk to downtown Nassau. There's a small grocery store around the corner. Julie and her family were amazing. Super responsive to any questions and helpful when coordinating activities. We would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness

Disliked: Amenities

The property is located in an area that makes it very accessible to near by scenic attractions. Less than quater mile walk to fish fry. Site is also close to the zoo, bontanical ( this is currently close for renovation), downtown and other attractions. You can literally take the bus everywhere you need to go. Taxi is always an option, fare varies (barter), bus only $1.25. There are 2 rooms with a roll out bed available. Kitchen with little amenities. Owner willing to take you shopping and yes, she does provide a ride from the airport. My only complaint was issues with A/C. Each room and living had a unit, but you are not allowed to run the A/C in the living and main bedroom at the same time, due fo needing electrical upgrade, which leaves one area practically inaccessible and hot when decide to sleep in late. But we are always on the go until late night. So I will leave A/C on the living room when out and turn off the one in main room. I was travelling with 4 kids and this was sometimes difficult. The owner was willing to get me a fan which helped cool the living room at night. Currently in Nassau, due to increase power surge, each day customer's power is shut off for abt 2-4hrs (time varies) which means no A/C or internet. Kids did not like this. But found out customer at Atlantis loss power and ran out of water. So considering all things, we did well staying at the villa. Issue with A/C need fixing and possible a back up generator as this power surge will run until Oct.

Location location

If you're looking for a place with easy access to great food and activities, this is it! We had a wonderful time staying at this house, and our host Julie was great. It was an easy walk to the famous Bahamas Fish Fry and the beautiful botanical gardens. My group rented a car to get around, but was pleasantly surprised when we were told a taxi ride from the airport was included as part of our stay. If you are looking for relaxation, a local beach was about 4 minutes away. Overall a great trip and we will definitely be coming back to stay with Julie.

Nice two bedroom with a great location

Cozy and clean place with all the amenities. Small grocery store around the corner. Several great restaurants and a beach less than 10 min walk. Julie herself gave us a ride to the house and was very responsive to our messages. Would definitely stay here again.

Beach Vacation

My husband and I were very happy to have the owner, Julie, arrange airport pickup, as well as Julie herself, bringing us to the Fresh Market grocery store that evening. (I would recommend taking advantage of this, if you are not renting a car. Buy what you need for the time that you are here). Get water, TP, paper towel, soap, (kitchen and bathroom), and whatever you need for snacks, etc. We got the big water jugs, get the red cap water, (no salt in it), and used about 3 of them in 12 days. We chose to cook a lot, to save costs and time, (more beach time is wonderful for us), and Julie has all amenities needed for this. We packed a beach lunch daily, plus ate breakfast and some dinners here. We took buses for $1.25 each, or slightly higher for further away beaches, and we would highly recommend this. The bus stop is a 5-8 minute walk, down by the Fish Fry Restaurants,(don't let this name fool you, there are lots of restaurants with good healthier food too there. We enjoyed Twin Brothers). Wait at the bus stop on the L of this Road, (Dunmore/Chippingham), to go West of town, or the one R of this condo road, opposite side of the road, to go into down town Nassau, East of town. We went to 8 different beaches while here, and loved them all. Our favorite ones were Cabbage, on Paradise Island, (we took Matthew, Julie's recommendation for a cab driver there. Plan on $50-$100 for cab trips most places). We loved the Pink Octopus Restaurant for a healthier eating experience. Plan on at least 2 hours there. Luciano's is also an excellent restaurant! We also loved Clifton Heritage Park and had an amazing day there. Try the BBQ, pork and chicken one. If you take a bus to further places like Clifton, plan with the bus driver to pick you up at a certain time. The park closes at 4, but they do have security available after to call a cab for you if needed. Have a good cab number. We used Matthew and felt he was honest and knowledgable. Try to connect with the locals, both walking in this area, as well as on the bus. They love it, and it's a way to learn about their Island. We loved the Ardasta Zoo close by, great for children, but anyone really. Go for the Flamingo Show and enjoy the beautiful foliage. Julie made our stay perfect, by providing linen and towel change for the longer stay. We would stay again here, or at another location with Julie, as she is the best for good service, a clean place to stay, and very reliable contact during our stay.

perfect property, perfect location

Stayed here for six nights. Location is perfect. Easy walking distance to Nassau and all it offers. #10 bus to town and Cable Beach minutes walk. Junkanoo beach a few minutes walk. Cricket ground with good food and a game on Sunday again mins walk. Fish fry also an easy stroll. Home itself Bahaman style well maintained and extemely clean with all the amenties . Julie was very accomodating : arranged a pick up and drop off at the airport plus a trip to the supermarket en route which was very welcome as there are none in the local area. All in all a friendly affordable Bahamian accommodation that we highly recommend.

Excellent location!

Another couple, along with my wife and I spent 9 days and had a wonderful time! The location of Julie’s villa apartment is excellent! The Fish Fry, beaches, and downtown are just a few minutes away. Julie’s driver met us at the airport when we arrived and we used his cab service for our entire stay. He was personable, reliable and generously shared many interesting facts about the history and culture of The Bahamas. Julie was a wonderful host. She called to see if we required anything and when we did was quick to respond. We had the opportunity to meet some of Julie’s family who live in the same complex. They too were wonderful hosts. Great vacation!

Great location and very helpful and accommodating owner!

The property was in a great locale close to the fish fry and we felt very safe to walk back and forth in the area. Groceries are very expensive in Nassau, it was fabulous to have Julie drive us to the market for a trip to stock up our first day to help us out! Our family of 4 was very comfortable in the suite and the only thing we really missed was somewhere to sit outside each morning With a bit more space. We would recommend this rental for sure!

Perfect location!

Julie is an amazing host and her villa apartment was exactly what we needed! The location is amazing - just a five minute walk to all the restaurants at the fish fry, and 7 minutes to Junkanoo beach. There are some beautiful smaller beaches just a short walk in the other direction (away from downtown, towards Cable beach) as well. Julie had a driver meet us at the airport to make sure we arrived safely, and she also took us out to get some groceries on our first night. Anything else we needed was easily accessible - nearby corner stores for water, and a fruit and veggie stand on the corner by the fish fry. The unit was very clean, and there were even some basic kitchen supplies (salt, pepper, seasoning, sugar, oil) in the cupboard. Wi-fi was a good speed - which was perfect to be able to keep up with the occasional work email, or even to watch Netflix on the one rainy night we had during our stay. Julie was very easy to get in touch with, and very responsive to all our questions :) We had an amazing time and can't wait to return!

Just what we wanted for our first trip to Nassau!

We wanted to stay away from large resorts and hotels with their outrageous costs and explore the local area. Julie's apartment is exactly that and in the right spot for walking to the beach and Fish Fry(5 minutes) and downtown Nassau (15 minutes) She and her family are great hosts. Some of her family lives in the same apt. complex and are so helpful and kind. Julie took us to the grocery store on our first night there and we stocked up on breakfast foods and snacks. There is a small grocery store around the corner and we picked up a newspaper, water and other necessities there during the week. The apartment is very clean, has great wifi and had everything we needed. We loved talking to the locals in the area, and being in a quiet location. If we get the opportunity to return to Nassau we will book with Julie again. Thank you and your family Julie.

Convenient location

Julie's place is low maintenance and cosy with a fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, ceiling fans and airconditioning so it definitely met the needs of my family of 5 for 9 days. Julie arranged airport pickup and took us to the grocery store and laundromat (she can also arrange for someone else to do your laundry) which was great. Julie kept in contact regularly. The Ardastra Zoo is a few minutes walk away, the kids will enjoy the flamingo show and feeding the rainbow lorikeets. There is also cricket or the cricket club for a meal and Fort Charlotte is in walking distance too. Fish Fry is a 5-10 minute walk at the end of the road, it has a great selection of seafood restaurants and although everyone claims to be the original Fish Fry, we recommend 'Oh Andros', large servings of food for the same price as the others. You have to try the conch fritters and grilled lobster tail. You can catch a #10 or #12 jitney (mini bus) from Fish Fry to go east downtown (different museums and shops) or west to go to various beaches (like Cable beach) or the airport. The #12 can take you all the way to Clifton Heritage Park, snorkeling in the underwater sculpture garden. It usually costs $1.25pp per ride, a little more if you go far. They stop running at 6.30pm. We hired a car for a couple of days just to explore at our own leisure, loaded up with our beach gear and the cooler from the house to visit other beaches at Paradise Island as well as just driving along the coast (visit the Rum Cake Factory!). Hire online, it is more expensive to hire over the phone or as a walk-in. Julie provides a car space. Thanks Julie!

Enjoyed our stay

We stayed in Julie's condo in March 2015 and it met our needs very well. Its location gave us easy access to points of interest, it was comfortable to stay in and Julie went out of her way to be kind and helpful. We would stay there again without hesitation.

DON'T HESITATE , CLEAN, WARM AND WELCOMING

Juile is the BEST, she is your personal entertainment, tour and dinning guide, her place meets and exceeds expectations for cleanliness and requirements for a short/ extended stay. If I didn't have to go back to work my husband and I would have stayed for as long as she would have us. Julie along with her fellow Bahamians made our 15 night stay on the island the best holiday we have ever experienced. I would highly recomment this suite for anyone and for any amount of time.
