A dream vacation property!!! We loved the amazing view and beautiful home. The staff was so friendly and professional. Every need was anticipated. Adding the cook every day was a smart idea because she took care of all of the groceries and meal planning. The house was perfect and impeccably clean. The bedrooms were well-appointed with comfy beds, plenty of towels, good storage areas. The rooms also had screened windows and doors so you could enjoy the wonderful ocean breezes. If air-conditioning is your cup of tea, that is also available.Activities abound! The island is focused on fishing but there are other ways to be entertained. We were able to tour the island, visit Captain Bill's Blue Hole, go to beautiful beaches - all were very fun and interesting. The house has snorkeling gear, kayaks, a boat and much more. The coral reef is right off-shore in front of the home.Mike is a fantastic host with communication that is on point. Zemi and Michette (sp), the cook and housekeeper respectively, were lovely and so friendly. Our family had a blast and know you will, too.

Our stay here was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we knew this place was special, but it exceeded every expectation we had.The home itself is absolutely stunning, but the view is what truly makes it magical. Sitting on the deck watching the ocean felt surreal — we saw sharks, stingrays, dolphins and all kinds of marine life right from the house. It honestly felt like having our own private nature show every day.The outdoor space and pool area are incredible. It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind, and soak in the beauty of the Bahamas. Whether we were having coffee in the morning or watching the sunset in the evening, every moment felt peaceful and unforgettable.What really sets this property apart, though, is the level of service and hospitality. Having a concierge available at our fingertips made everything effortless, and the private chef experience was phenomenal. Every detail was taken care of and everyone involved truly went above and beyond to make our stay perfect.Mike, the host, is exceptional. He is incredibly generous, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about making sure guests have the best experience possible. From recommendations to helping arrange anything we needed, he was always available and eager to help.This place is truly something special — a rare combination of breathtaking scenery, luxury, and genuine hospitality. We feel so lucky to have experienced it and can’t wait to come back.Highly, highly recommend.

Magical private getaway!

If you are looking for a very quiet, luxurious place to getaway, KettleStone is for you! The property is gorgeous, completely private, and service is the most thoughtful, attentive and excellent we've enjoyed at any VRBO. Whatever you do, don't try to cook for yourself - you want to enjoy Zemi's incredible hospitality and delicious meals...plus there just is really no where nearby to get groceries. We can't wait to return.

Wonderful accommodation and hosts

Superb home in superb location. Host and assistants first class in every way. Every request handled perfectly. The home comes with everything you need. Spacious and comfortable. Be sure to request groceries pre-arrival, not much of a grocery shopping option, but host will handle before and/or during stay. In house chef fantastic. Can't wait to return.

Spectacular stay in Andros

We had a wonderful time at KettleStone Villa. Michael was a great host. Friendly, accommodating and always available to help with any needs that may arise. Zemi and Michette go above and beyond to provide great food and keep the house clean. Having access to the van for quick runs to town and to the blue hole for a swim was nice. The boat was great, too. Zemi prepared our freshly caught fish for dinner every night and it was spectacular. Andros is a beautiful island. If you love the Bahamas and its natural beauty you will not be disappointed. KettleStone Villa is a five start experience from beginning to end. We are planning a trip back very soon!

REALLY A BEAUTIFUL ESTATE!

Gorgeous and I mean GORGEOUS property. Pretty much exactly as nice as it looks in the photos. No surprises which we really appreciated. Owner Mike made homemade pizzas and the in-house chef Zemi cooked meals which were all FAR BEYOND what one could find in a restaurant. Really lovely lady too! Zemi and Michette worked daily and took care of literally everything. Mike arranged all excursions which were super. If you truly want a luxurious vacation in paradise, this is the place!!!

Stunning stay! Our experience at Kettleston was beyond exceptional. The breathtaking views, luxurious accommodations, and impeccable service made it truly unforgettable. The highlight was undoubtedly the talented chef Zemi who delighted our taste buds with culinary masterpieces every day. Michete brightened our afternoons and created a welcoming environment. Michael was always “at the ready” to help make our experience unforgettable. We fished, laid in the sun, soaked in the pool and relaxed in paradise. We felt like royalty, pampered and catered to in every way. A dream vacation come true… we are definitely coming back!

Another Great Visit to Kettlestone

We recently returned from our second visit to Andros and Kettlestone. This trip was, perhaps, even better than our first because we were able to expand on our activities and knew some of the ins and outs of Andros. Andros is a beautiful island and we enjoy the serenity. What truly makes the experience, however, is the attentiveness of Mike and his willingness to arrange or direct you toward any activity that you might be interested in. In addition, the house is beautiful and is equipped with everything that you might need during your stay. We will definitely be back for a return visit.

Quiet, Welcoming & Peaceful

Our stay at KettleStone did not disappoint. Our family of 5 had just the right amount of space for both privacy and family time. There was plenty to do, on and off the property and a variety of options to choose from - if the weather was fickle. Some highlights included DIY snorkeling with the boat, beach days at Somerset, bone fishing with Jamal and pizza night with Zemi and Michael. All that said, the staff was out of this world... friendly, knowledgeable, funny, welcoming and hard working. The food was delicious, fresh and made with love. Michette and Zemi are the BEST. We left with full hearts and refueled tanks.

Paradise surrounds you!

Mike and his wonderful staff (I don't like the word staff because Zemi and Michet treat you as family!) go out of there way to set you up for sucess. The Villa is open to the pool then the ocean and just makes you relax. Zemi makes amazing meals as a well as K' Lee and Porsha (They treat you as family as well!) Please don't go and cook for yourself, you will miss some amazing food! Mike ha sthis place dialed and will set up everything for you (give him advanced notice as Andros has limited everything.) Not a better place on Andros!

Fabulous!

The staff were exceptional and we enjoyed getting to know them. Michael was a tremendous host. He arranged everything for us— charter flights, snorkeling, diving for conch, massages, pedicures. When our flight was canceled, we were able to stay an extra night, and Michael made it extraordinarily easy for us by arranging for a charter flight change and even obtaining and administering COVID tests when we had to do them a 2nd time late on Christmas Eve. The accommodations were amazing and pristine. It was one of the most relaxing vacations any of us have had. We had Zemi cook many of our meals and highly recommend her.

About the host

Hosted by Michael Hornby

Host profile image
KettleStone is the brainchild of Michael Hornby, a former resident of Ontario, Canada, who fell in love with Andros Island during a diving vacation in 1988. In 1997, driven by his passion for scuba diving and a desire for a simpler lifestyle, Michael took a leap of faith and moved to the Bahamas. Today, he resides on Andros Island, where he consults for a local all-inclusive resort and manages KettleStone. With a wealth of experience in the hospitality industry, Michael enjoys engaging in activities like Blue Hole cave diving, deep wall diving, and holds licenses as a private pilot and boat captain. Throughout his 26 years on Andros Island, Michael has developed a genuine appreciation for the island's unassuming beauty and the warmth of its local community. Motivated by his vision, Michael set out to create KettleStone, a luxurious home that seamlessly blends with the island's natural surroundings while embodying meticulous attention to detail. His aim was to provide a haven of relaxed elegance, inviting others to revel in the splendor of the environment. Today, KettleStone stands as a testament to Michael's unwavering dedication to his vision.

Why they chose this property

Nestled on a one-acre parcel, KettleStone Villa was meticulously chosen after years of local island research and a stroke of fortunate timing, which presented an opportunity to secure an ideal piece of untouched land for construction. Preserving the natural flora was a top priority, and the land was thoughtfully cleared by hand to protect the existing mature growth. Conveniently located just minutes away from amenities and an international airport, KettleStone Villa is easily accessible with a short one-hour flight from Florida. Situated merely five minutes from a port of entry marina, the location is perfectly positioned within a barrier island chain, overlooking a shallow lagoon. With an elevation that allows for panoramic views and refreshing breezes, KettleStone found its ideal beginning.

What makes this property unique

KettleStone was meticulously crafted with great attention to detail. The villa takes inspiration from the captivating 'Kettle' formations at the water's edge, and showcases the use of handcrafted local 'Stone.' Immerse yourself in the oceanic experience on the hand-cut limestone terraces and poolside patios. Effortlessly transition from an ocean swim or snorkel to a refreshing dip in the freshwater pool or jetted spa, all while enjoying the soothing sound of the cascading waterfall. The high vaulted open cedar ceilings and open concept design of KettleStone create a spacious atmosphere while allowing for natural temperature control. Each suite and the centrally located kitchen offer panoramic views, keeping you connected to the beauty of your surroundings. The design ensures that wherever you are in the villa, you always feel the unique environment that Andros Island has to offer. With fully landscaped grounds, sheltered breezeways, ocean-facing patios and terraces, as well as a back patio, KettleStone provides inviting spaces to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. Prepare to witness breathtaking sunrises that must be experienced to be truly appreciated. Welcome to the captivating world of KettleStone, where every detail has been carefully curated to ensure your utmost enjoyment and relaxation.
