Summary: This is an absolutely lovely place. It’s like staying at your own resort. The gardens are beautiful and you can access the ocean via the harbour side on the dock or the flats behind the tennis courts. Lots of fishing – we enjoyed a few different kinds of snapper for dinners. We’ve played pickle ball and used the kayaks a ton! Went out for a day on the tennis court side with the kayaks and saw the blue hole, counted 100+ sea stars on our way and too many sea turtles to count. We swam off the dock at low tide. Took the kayaks over to Pete's Pub for lunch on two occasions. Very tasty food and very nice people. We picked up groceries in Marsh Harbour at Abaco Groceries on our way to the property, then added items during the week from the Cherokee Food Fair and the Abaco Big Bird Farm. The kitchen was great for prepping meals. Joe was very responsive to questions we had during our stay. We were asked to be mindful of water and electricity use and never had an issue the entire time. Our family had a wonderful time!

Summary: My stay at the Bahamas Backroads property was incredible The house was very clean and well prepped for our arrival. The grounds of the estate are truly beautiful and expansive. There are native plantings and gardens , stone walls and paths. I was immediately drawn to the upper deck. The upper deck with its covered picnic table was a great place to enjoy morning coffee. The deck has a commanding view of the harbor, the channel and sea beyond. There is a dock providing access to the harbor. It was a great spot to jump in and swim around the crystal clear water. It took me a day or two to really absorb the scenery. There is so much to do right on the property. Tennis and pickle ball can be played on the court. Following a path from the tennis court we were able to explore the shore on the protected “ Bight of Ole Robinson” We also walked over to Pete’s Pub and had delicious lunches and dinner. The open air beach bar has some of the best food in the islands and is an experience in itself. The nights we stayed in were delightful as well. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The screened in porch on the upper level of the house was perfect for watching the sunsets over the water. The house is large , well thought out and very comfortable with room for everyone. There are so many things to do right on the property you feel as though you were at your own private resort All of the homes in Little Harbour are “off the grid”. It is a nice feeling and you feel more connected to nature. I would highly recommend staying at the Bahamas Backroads property. It provides you with a real Bahamian experience and .I can’t wait to return.

Summary: We had a wonderful Christmas holiday spent at this house in Little Harbour. The area is idyllic with close access to beaches, trails, kayaking, boating, and various local sights. Great area for relaxing low key and cooking with family at the house- one restaurant/bar just down the road but not much else in the direct vicinity. We had some trouble with hot water as the house is solar powered and it was unusually cloudy during our stay. Joe was very accommodating to this and says he’s never had an issue with hot water previously. The house was spacious but with lots of stairs so thankfully we didn’t bring our grandmother- perfect for our family though! Abaco is still recovering from the hurricane but much of the island is recently rebuilt and we found it easy to entertain ourselves with outdoor activities. Overall, would certainly stay there again! Thanks Joe for great communication and advice for rental cars and fishing guides!

Summary: We had an amazing stay. The location is beautiful, right on the water where you can swim with sea turtles every day. There’s so much to explore just on the property, which is beautifully landscaped and has ocean views on both sides. The house is great and has stunning sunset views - I even had to work remotely for a few days and wifi was great. Can’t wait to come back!!

Summary: We traveled to the Bahamas primarily to pursue our fishing and birdwatching passions and the villa was a prime spot for both. We could walk the flats for miles or take the kayak to bonefish. We also did some offshore fishing with guide Randy Sawyer who the owner recommended. Randy picked us up at the dock and we caught several sizable mahi-mahi that we later cooked up on the grill. We had plans to travel around the island of Abaco to complete our birding check list but we did not have to leave the property as the place was a prime viewing spot. Very comfortable tropical island-styled house. We had for dinner some old friends who were anchored in the harbor. The kitchen is well equipped and the dining room table spacious enough for a group of eight. The gym and game rooms were used daily. Pete's Pub is special. It is especially nice place for lunch as you can walk to Bookies Beach after eating. The fresh fish platters are excellent. We found a walk around the nearby village of Cherokee to be a trip back in time when the pace of life was slow and simple. The long dock that extends from the village out into the ocean as well as the surrounding flats were a great place to fish and swim from. The one caveat about Little Harbour is the drive from Marsh Harbour at night. We went to Hopetown for a day and stopped in Marsh Harbour for dinner. The drive back in the dark was dangerous as the road has no lights and no middle markers in the middle or on the side of the road. Oncoming cars usually did not reduce their high beams. Next time we will be back before dark for sure. That said, there really is no need to go the Marsh Harbour other than to buy groceries as they are much cheaper there compared to Cherokee.

Summary: We were looking for a nice, relaxed alternative to overcrowded south Florida winter mayhem and gridlock. We found it at the Bahama Backroads villa in Little Harbour. The house is off the grid, private and surrounded by beautiful gardens. The only noise came from a squabbling flock of wild parrots that passed by daily to feed in the surrounding trees. The house was airy, clean,, spacious and every room has a sea view. The kitchen was fully equipped. The barbecue was great for grilling. We relaxed after dinner playing billiards and ping pong. The deck on the hill is spectacular. Every morning we did some yoga exercises and watched as many as 20 sea turtles swam about feeding on the incoming tide. The tennis and basketball courts were great fun. The bay behind the house in Robinson's Bight, which is now a national park dotted with spectacular blue holes, is an incredible estuary that we explored and fished using the kayaks at the house. We snorkeled off the dock as well as on a few local reefs easily accessed from the beach that the owner told us about. Pete's Pub was a throwback to the days when the Florida Keys were a laid-back open-aired outpost We also got a tour of the gallery and foundry led by a entertaining Frenchman who the owner put us in touch with. All in all just a great week. Definitely plan to come back for a couple of weeks in February to get another break from the south Florida mid-winter gridlock.

Summary: This was our third time at the Villa. Little Harbour is gorgeous and the house really impressive. Spectacular view all around the bay: from the deck we could watch the acrobatic moves of the rays and the sea turtles. Better than a tv show! Great starting the day with a swim and play tennis in the afternoon. We try to come every other year!!! Already planning our next visit.
