Starfish Bay an Exceptional Bahamian experience!!
This was our 2nd time visiting Abaco! It was our first time staying at Starfish Bay and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our week long stay! Brandon and Lucy have an amazing property and accommodations that are second to none! This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house was immaculate and very well appointed with any and everything you could ever possibly need or want! The huge front deck overlooking the sea of Abaco was so great for morning coffee and the sunrise to the east! The back docks, in the narrows, were great too, especially if windy on the Sea of Abaco! The snorkeling right on property was amazing! Their caretaker, Roland was extremely helpful and so kind! Unfortunately, we never had the pleasure of meeting Sandrine, but I can say that she does an amazing job keeping the house so clean and fresh! We walked along the ocean on Eastern Shores road every morning! The house is private in its location but so close to all the amenities, such as Maxwells Grocery, the liquor store and some great bars and restaurants! We would highly recommend this property for your stay in Marsh Harbour, Abaco Island! We plan to book another stay next year! Thank you so much Brandon and Lucy, as well as Roland and Sandrine for proving such a great experience for our annual family vacation! Ginna and Matt D

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this ocean front property in Marsh Harbor! From the moment we booked to arriving was a breeze & the property was impeccably clean. The location was perfect & the communication with the property manager was seamless. One of the highlights was the dock, which was exactly what we needed for the size of our boat. It made our boating adventures hassle-free & convenient. The hosts truly went above & beyond to make us feel like we were home, providing everything we needed & more. Packing was a breeze since the have everything covered - just clothes, swimsuits, sunscreen & deodorant were all we really needed to bring (& any food). Even their digital guide had all your questions answered, even questions you didn't know you had. Now lets talk about the view! It was absolutely breathtaking, something you could wake up to & enjoy a cup of coffee & watch the sunrise. The amenities provided were top notch, ensuring we had a comfortable & memorable stay. Roland was incredibly friendly, helpful & available whenever we needed his assistance. Needless to say, we would highly recommend this VRBO to our friends & family, & we wouldn't hesitate to rebook. Another great thing about this spot is its proximity to all the other Cays in the Abaco Islands. It made exploring the surrounding areas a breeze & added to the overall enjoyment of our trip. Thank you very much for everything!

5 Star Resort Experience
By far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. The hosts have thought of everything. You will not find a nicer, cleaner, better appointed VRBO in the Bahamas. We enjoyed the breathtaking views from the oversized deck every morning and evenings. The protected dockage was ideal mooring for our boat. The location was perfect for exploring all the Abaco Cays via boat each day. Communication and accessibility with the house manager was easy. He was extremely helpful and courteous everyday. We will definitely return to Starfish and Mermaid Cove often. Thank you Brandon and Lucy for sharing your home and little piece of paradise with us.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon and Lucy Samuels

Host profile image
We love the water and Bahamas. We have travelled Bahamas for over 25 years and visited every island .
Originally we cruised Bahamas for first 20 years on various different boats we owned. We typically would cruise all the Bahamian islands for 3-4 months every year while living onboard our 80 foot boat. When we sold out boat we purchased the property and named it LUSEA , same name as all our boats.
We knew eventually we would purchase a property in Bahamas and Abaco was the perfect location blending beautiful Bahamian waters and beaches with excellent boating and conveniences.
We live between our out homes in Fort Lauderdale and Abacos.
We are very active on the island especially with Animal welfare and taking care of both dogs and cats on the island. After Hurricane Dorian we donated over one hundred thousand pounds of pet food for dogs and cats so the animals would not starve .We also actively support the local dog shelter and donated a mobile animal clinic to the shelter. We continue to work closely with the animals of Abaco and people supporting this cause.

Our rental homes are a perfect way for us to share our unique and beautiful location with guest.

Why they chose this property

LUSEA which is the entire property name consists of our private residence and two rental properties, Starfish Bay and Mermaid Cove.
When we found this property we immediately knew how special it was.
The natural beauty of this property is hard to beat anywhere in the world.
Eastern Shores is a private peninsula on great Abaco island that is surrounded by water. This sea to sea location offers the Sea of Abaco direct oceanfront on the North side and protected waters on the South Side where a lagoon forms between Sugarloaf Cay and eastern shores.
This allowed us to build our dream property having a Marina on the South side of the property with protected dockage in all weather conditions and oceanfront on the North side.
Views from north where Starfish Bay and Mermaid Cove are located are spectacular. Montage Cay (formerly Matt Lowes Cay) is less than a mile away forming a protected bay and clam waters in most conditions . Man O War Cay can be seem just 2 miles away .
Another amazing feature of the property is that water will always be protected on one side of the property, so that if it is windy on one side, typically the other side is calm and will allow for water sports in almost all weather conditions.
The property also has amazing natural vegetation and is elevated to allow excellent views and natural protection from the elements.

What makes this property unique

* Centrally located with access by boat and car. Close to airport groceries and restaurants by sea and land

* Gated and secure community
