About this property

Sand So Sea: A Remote Paradise with Panoramic Ocean Views

Perched on the edge of a remote coral atoll, Sand So Sea offers an exceptional getaway on Great Guana Cay, an outer island of the Grand Abacos. This hand-crafted Bahamian villa is situated on a bluff providing spectacular views of the turquoise stretches of the Bay of Abaco, Scotland Cay, and the Atlantic Ocean.

The house itself is 2800 square feet comprised of three bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, each with it's own independent entrance, indoor and outdoor living/dining areas, a bedroom and bathroom. With natural wood finishes, custom cabinets, and marine grade fittings, the space is like a "ship on land" and has been crafted for comfort and efficiency. We have an automatic generator that runs all the functions of the house in case there is loss of power.

The wrap around deck effectively doubles the living space, with 300 degree views of water, stretching from the Bay of Abaco on the west all the way to the Atlantic Ocean to the immediate east. From the deck, enjoy dazzling sunrises each morning, and from the dock, flaming sunsets over the bay.

Great Guana Cay's miles of white powder beaches begin just a few minutes walk from Sand So Sea, and are so isolated that often the only footsteps in the sand will be yours. Additionally, there are both inner and outer coral reefs that run the length of Guana Cay. If you love snorkeling, swimming, diving, kayaking, boating or fishing, all of it is accessible by foot, golf cart, boat or kayak.

The settlement of Great Guana is located about 2 miles west of the house. A tiny outcropping with a population of under 200 people, the settlement hugs Guana Harbour and has a grocery, rental agencies for boats and tours, and several restaurants boasting colorful beach bars.

This is a unique property and we hope you will find, as we do, that it is a shatteringly beautiful place and that it will provide you with the getaway of a lifetime.

Please note that we book up to a year in advance, but reserve the right to defer beyond that, as rates may need to change from year to year.

About the host

Hosted by Dana Conley

Host profile image
Jack Dillon is a property manager in Savannah Georgia, and an old friend of the Owner, Dana Conley. Dana travels professionally and is not always available, so Jack is the reservation manager for Dana in her absence. (He is not the Owner, contrary to what it says below!)

Dana Conley fell in love with international travel during college while studying art and politics abroad in Florence, Italy. She majored in International Relations at Stanford and has traveled to over 50 countries in search of authentic adventures, beautiful meals, and life-changing moments to share with her private and organizational clients.

In 2009, Dana made her home in France in order to pursue her passion for cheese, art and cultural curiosities. Now, running trips in several countries, Dana divides her time between France, Italy, the UK, Germany, and the new Conley & Silvers headquarters in New York City.

Both Dana and Jack have both been known to enjoy a rum infused coconut....

Why they chose this property

Dana Conley regularly travels to exotic locals; Tanzania, Vienna, Paris, Scotland, Spain...

She began vacationing at Dolphin Lookout several years ago, fell in love, and through grit and determinations was able to convince the former owners that she would take care of it as they had if only they consented to sell it to her.

And they did.

With the world at her fingertips, this is where she goes to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

Dana spends a month or so each year at Dolphin Lookout. She spend most of the time just staring at the ever changing kaleidoscope of blues and greens in the vast seascape. It is a profoundly beautiful and relaxing vista.
