My husband and I have been traveling to the Out Islands of the Bahamas for several years. We have traveled to Exuma several times, The Abacos and Eleuthera. This was our first time on Long Island and it won't be our last. The islands are all unique in their own ways, but there is something special... almost magical, about Long Island. It's full of beautiful beaches and natural wonders (Shrimp Hole, Lowes and Bonniecort Beaches, Dean's Blue Hole), but the people were all so very friendly and kind. We are from WV (US) and we are used to waves from strangers and friendly "hello"s, but not so familiar with that on the Out Islands. It made us feel so welcomed as we traveled from tip to tip over our 10 day stay. From Columbus Point to Gordon's Beach, it was all breathtaking and memorable. Ron's house is perfect! It is by far the most well equipped home we have ever rented. It was clean, well appointed, comfortable and those VIEWS from every room are absolutely spectacular. I will treasure those beautiful views in my minds eye forever. We really enjoyed the kayaks and kayaked across the bay and throughout the blue hole at low tide. We saw turtles, rays and even a small shark (from far away). We played Phase 10 at night while enjoying the view of a million bright stars and enjoyed walks along the beach at sunset. We also enjoyed the small library that is available! I found the perfect book and enjoyed reading it during our stay. Ron's property is perfectly located and I was super impressed with the variety in the grocery store (best one on any island) and Erica's Bakery was a hit with my husband! Lighthouse Point was a great place to grab a nice dinner and Gordon's Beach Bar was wonderful as well. We enjoyed getting to know the owner, Ernest! He was very kind and jovial and was happy to share all sorts of stories. We loved visiting the Caribbean beaches. Go to Galloway Beach (road between the two salt ponds) and turn left to experience the gorgeous canal and rope swing! That place is magical at sunset! Ron was always attentive in answering all of our questions and it is obvious that he goes out of his way to ensure that every guest has a comfortable, wonderful and memorable stay. Book Ron's place! Experience Long Island, Bahamas from the best place to stay on the island!
