Excellent place to stay . There weren’t any exaggerations , all was as said if not a little better . The local property manager was responsive in a friendly manner and made sure all questions were answered . He gave us insights to the area and the binder Donna left there was thorough in instructions .

We’re pleased your family enjoyed their stay, Thomas. We’re glad we were able to accommodate both your requests: to change your arrival date given the airline had changed your flight and to be able to rent you our Whaler after you changed your mind once you had arrived.

Summerhouse is a beautiful property to stay in. The inside was well equipped, and most all of our needs for an enjoyable stay were met. The walk to the beach was not bad at all. We saw sea turtles in the canal in front of the house. We enjoyed coconuts found near/around the property. I would definitely recommend this house to others. The one negative was no beach chairs.
From start to finish (except the flight delays) this was the perfect vacation for our family. The hosts, Stephen and Joanne went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed from transportation from airport to local fishing guide recommendations. The house was clean and equipped with everything. We loved having the kayaks available to use. The view from the balcony is stunning !

Thanks for the positive review, Al. It’s gratifying for us to know the reality exceeded your expectations. Glad to hear that was your experience.
The house is as described, on a channel with a beautiful view of Cherokee Sound. The beach is a short walk or a quick kayak out of the channel. The beaches are amazing, stretching as far as the eye can see. We rented the boat and explored the sound. We saw starfish, sting rays, lobster, conch, turtles, and too many different types of fish to name. Communication with the host and property manager was seamless. We look forward to returning.

The house was very nice. Bed was great. Screened porch was a nice place to sit and relax. View was perfect. The owner described the area accurately. He assisted me with procuring a great fishing guide and local car rental. We were surprised however to find that other folks were docking their boats at the dock. We had assumed that the dock was private, which was one of the perceived amenities we liked.
Lovely house in a great location, overlooking a tidal creek and Cherokee Sound. A quick paddle or boat ride takes you out to the sound for beach access and fishing. I enjoyed watching the turtles and schools of bonefish in the creek right in front of the house.
Stephen and Joanne were very helpful and provided lots of good info. Everything was as described and in good order. The Abaco Big Bird is nearby with fuel and local produce, essential groceries, beer, wine, etc.
Kitchen is well equipped. Would gladly book again.
This was our second stay at this property. We are hoping to make it an annual event. We can’t say enough about the property, the owners and the host , John. It is perfect for our family as we love being away from everything and you really feel that while at Summerhouse. John arranged for a nice boat and we were able to fish and snorkel in the area close to the house. We arranged for a guide, Captain Mark out of Treasure Cay to take us to Green Turtle to swim with Rays and Turtles and of course a stop for a Goombay Smash at Miss Emily’s , then on to Nunjack Cay for swimming with sharks and No name Cay to swim with pigs (a little to commercial for our liking but the trip was amazing). The house has everything you could need, we were sad to leave today and already planning our next trip and hoping to bring some friends who can stay in the newly remodeled lower unit ! Thanks again Stephen and John !!
We had a great time. The area is very nice. Very quiet and only a 5 minute walk to beach. The house was all you can ask for. Very clean and comfortable. I have to mention John, the care taker and boat renter. He was very helpful explaining the house, boat, and surrounding area. Only issue was the bonefish fewer than I had hoped. This could have been because the winds were bad every day and the temps were only in the 70’s. You just can’t control the elements. We only did DIY, I would recommend you get a guide and fish the Marls. I did see one of the biggest bonefish I’ve seen in over 30 years of fishing. Bottom line the house, caretaker, and owners are first class. AAA
This place is absolutely spectacular, very new and spacious construction along with wonderful hosts and property manager that make me feel at home, cassarina point is beautiful and all the people are very friendly. It truly is a gem! Close to good fishing and amazing beaches too

You’re right, Tom; Casuarina Point is a great neighborhood. We’re glad you had fun and hope you’re able to return. We’d welcome you back any time.

The house and location were perfect and exactly what we were expecting. The evenings were perfect with a great ocean breeze. The house had everything we needed for cooking, etc. Having the boat to use was great and got us to our own island each day. Raymond was quick in responding when we had an issue. Highly recommend!

Great lay out. The fridge/freezer, air conditioning, internet, Host Donna, caretaker Raymond all worked great. We had a lot of fun. The Boston Whaler is good clean fun for all ages. Very close to town. Did not feel out of the way at all. We drove into town a took 5 different ferrys to different Cays and no one complained about the drive once.

Brad, so glad to hear your family enjoyed both exploring the area and the comforts of our house. Thanks, Donna
Thoroughly enjoyed this property!! The size of the property, the location of the property and the price of the property is unbeatable!! We appreciated the privacy the location of this house offered and how clean and well maintained the home is. Having the boat and kayaks was a huge bonus!! The house has everything you need. The marine life we experienced just in the canal was incredible. We are already missing sitting on the deck with our morning coffee and looking out at the beautiful water view. Talk about relaxing! We enjoyed Taco Tuesdays at Jake’s and enjoyed the atmosphere and food at Pete’s Pub. Donna, the host, and Raymond, the manager, were easily accessible for any questions and/or concerns. HIghly recommend this property!!!!

We found this property to be a true treasure.
This 3 bedroom home had beautiful views and was roomy and comfortable. Daily walks on the beach, fishing on the flats, boating and kayaking added to many joys we experienced.

Don, communication with you and Judy was so easy over the many weeks you stayed at Tortuga
Point House. We appreciated that so much. We wish you many more enjoyable adventures in your retirement.
Donna and Fred
Great family retreat in the Bahamas away from the crowds. When you stay in Casuarina Point you are surrounded by locals, it's a quiet community. We loved having the whaler for the week, we had our three boys, ages 21, 18 and 14 so island hopping, swimming, boating, exploring and fishing was the daily routine. Thank you Donna and Fred for being so accessible and helpful for our many questions. We'll be back!

Our family was right at home here! The view is amazing and the house was very nice, with great air conditioning! The front porch is awesome, with shade all day and a constant breeze. The property manager was very helpful and prompt to respond. We got to see a variety of marine life in the canal and also took the provided kayaks out to watch sea turtles in the bay. We really enjoyed our stay!
