Oceanfront Beach Cottage Orange Hill 1BD

Everything went great until my colleague didn't pack up or check out on time. Hosts were understanding and worked with us, which was much appreciated.

Bianca and Florian are hands down the best hosts we've ever met. They go above and beyond to make sure their guests are well informed of the area and super helpful with any questions! Place nicely decorated and clean with the most beautiful views of the ocean!!

We LOVED our stay at this cottage. The decor is beautiful, view is to die for, and bed is extremely comfortable! The beach right across the street is serene and never crowded which is a nice treat. To top it off, the hosts went absolutely above and beyond for us, from helping with groceries, advice for things to do...you name it, they were there to help. We found the location to be perfect for us, only about 10 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes to baha mar, and a walk to a adorable breakfast/coffee shop. We would definitely stay here again.

Having used a few VRBO locations before, it is always nice to find a great host with a location that is exactly as pictured, and this was one of those spots. Florian and Bianca are very welcoming and communicative, they helped us with booking our Powerboat (Exumas) tour and even drove us to a nearby location for breakfast. He is always easily reachable before and during our stay which is a bonus, and gave us good tips/pointers for getting around the island. It was great being just 4.5 km's from the airport as well!

The home itself is very nice but they are doing some renovations (which we knew of and were NOT a bother at all). The main cottages being used were all very nice from what we saw, and our little oceanview was perfects for the two of us. The view was AMAZING and we couldn't get over it each and everyday. The room itself was as advertised, not as reno'd as the bigger/new ones but still good. The bathroom needed some touching up as did the floor in a couple of places was all. They had excellent TV service as well so I could watch my Toronto Maple Leafs (Canada) sadly lose in the playoffs (again!) lol. The A/C was well controlled and kitchen small but useable.

Location was great but if you want to be 'right in the middle of the city' this is a bit further out than you want. We wanted exactly this as it was still a short bus/taxi ride into town (very safe! bus is the way to go as it's cheaper) since it was much quieter and 'cleaner' than being near downtown. Also we loved the semi private beach out front across the road. There is a couple of plazas nearby, and Louis and Steen coffee house is amazing for breakfast or lunch. The Orange Hill hotel next door has dinner as well, but nothing fancy. We did not care for a pool as we had the ocean. This area of the island is also home to many nice homes. I would for sure stay here again given how well run it is and the ideal setting for being in the Bahamas.
