This little cottage is located just a block from all the taxis and close to the cruise ships and tourist shops. Quick responses from owner. Things to know before you book:
Pool and fitness area are not nearby. Owner will lend you his bracelets for entry into Goldwynn resort a few miles ($20 taxi ride each way) away. Not sure it’s legal so we had to fib our way thru when asked. There is no hot tub.
Beds are very soft. Guest room slightly firmer. Blow up mattress also available with plenty of sheets and blankets.
Showers did not get hot - just barely lukewarm.
House is tucked back on a road behind the US Embassy. There is no view of anything as listed.
Seating and covered bench swing in the front yard. Seemed really secure since you had to pass thru a security gate at the embassy to get to the house.
Brand new a/c unit in the guest bedroom. Other two in master and in seating area are really dirty and maybe mold covered so we turned them off. Owner is aware and said he’d have them taken care of but check with him first!
Suggest renting a car if you will be there more than a day or two and want to see other beaches other than Junkanoo (walking distance) Beach. Taxi rides to Fish Fry (Restaurant row) are $16-20 each way, depending on the driver. Lucaya car rentals are reasonable and they delivered the car.
Bring Keurig pods- grocery isn’t very close.
Washer and dryer worked great.
Cameron was quick to answer questions and very friendly.
