Near beach, we are situated in a large canal basin with views over the water and our large pool surrounded by tropical gardens.
We have included a 7/8 seat people carrier.
There is a 14 foot boat included along with a two person Kayak and paddle board for you to enjoy and explore the canal system. Should you bring your own boat dockage is available up to 50 foot. If you are experienced in small boat handling you can use our boat to potter around in, and if the weather is permitting even venture around to a beach only 4 minutes away.
This is a house built for entertaining! With multiple open plan living areas inside and 2000 sq. ft. of patio around the pool. Flamingo Lane is perfect for, group vacations and big families.
Getting to beaches is so easy. The bars, nightclubs, shops, casino, cafes, restaurants, beach bars and markets of Port Lucaya are just a 2 mile drive away. For those arriving by boat, we have 125' of deep water canal frontage (approx. 16' deep) to accommodate both small and large vessels, plus 30 and 50 amp shore power for which there is a charge. WiFi internet, TV and water hook up.

KITCHEN:
A huge open-plan space at the center of the house and leads into the TV Entertainment Lounge, the Formal Relaxing Lounge and the Dining Room. The close proximity to these other rooms allows the whole family or group to relax or do different activities but without being separated. The large island with granite counter-top serves as a meeting place for all guests. Ample seating is available - stools at the breakfast bar and stools at the round glass table (and a high-chair is available upon request at no extra charge). This makes it a great place to have breakfast altogether, mix drinks, and chat.
A separate door at the back of the kitchen leads to the UTILITY ROOM with a front-loading washing machine, a separate front-loading dryer, ironing board and iron.
DINING ROOM:
An airy and spacious room with a large dining table and six dining chairs, and overlooks our beautiful tropical front garden.
Situated at the front of the house, it is both open plan, so that guests do not feel confined, and also separate from the other living areas, to give a little privacy and quiet. The large dresser contains all the napkins, table mats and candles/candlesticks you may require for the perfect formal island dinner in the comfort of Flamingo Lane.
TV ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE:
This open-plan room is great for everyday living. A bright floral three-piece suite, coffee table and two side tables are surrounded by big windows that overlook the tropical garden and pool. Glass double patio doors open out onto the covered porch. A large flat-screen TV with media player and speakers provide a great entertainment area for kids and adults. There is collection of books and novels, as well as a chess set, backgammon, board games and cards.
FORMAL RELAXING LOUNGE:
This open-plan room is set off by a very large, comfy three-piece suite in a soft, rich red fabric. Accompanied by a big coffee table and two side tables, this is a wonderful place to spend the evening inside with cocktails, watching the sun set over the water, as the glass double patio doors open out onto the covered porch and overlook the pool fringed by coconut trees and, beyond, the canal.
BEDROOM 1:
Very large room with king-size bed, walk-in closet and flat-screen TV. Glass patio doors (with full blinds) lead out to patio, and pool. En-suite bathroom with shower and spa bath.
BEDROOM 2:
Very large room with king-size bed, closets and flat-screen TV. Glass patio doors (with full blinds) lead out to private patio with BBQ grill and picnic table, and to the pool. En-suite bathroom with walk-in shower.
BEDROOM 3:
Large room with queen-size bed, large closet, flat-screen TV and dressing table with mirror. Looks out over our beautiful tropical garden. En-suite bathroom with double sinks, bath and overhead shower.

Complementary toiletries in all bathrooms. Hairdryer available in all bedrooms. Bath towels provided.
A baby cot can be provided upon request at no extra charge.
SWIMMING POOL:
​​​The 30' x 15' large swimming pool is a focus for most guests, as you can imagine! Surrounded by coconut trees and Frangipani and overlooking the canal, it is definitely our favorite spot, too!
PATIO AREA:
The patio area surrounding the pool is approximately 2000 sq. ft. - plenty of room for entertaining. With several comfy loungers and separate pool towels provided, it is perfect for spending days relaxing in the sunshine or sunbathing. Around the corner from the pool is a patio sheltered by palm trees and complete with a BBQ grill, a big garden parasol for some shade and a large round picnic table for outdoor dining, drinking and entertaining.
COVERED PORCH:
The covered porch is often many guests' favourite place to relax in the evening. The sofa and armchairs all overlook the pool and, beyond, the canal - which provides a wonderful backdrop for the most beautiful sunsets (which we seem to be treated with almost every evening!) and the ideal spot for sundowners!
The house is situated in a large, quiet canal basin with a private dock. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and the house has a code-operated gate at the front.
By boat (included), we are just a few minutes away from the ocean and beautiful beaches (often nobody else there…it's amazing). One of the best beaches is just outside of our canal entrance, less than 1/2 mile away. The boat is also ideal for just pottering around our waterway.
By car, we are a five minute drive to all the main attractions on the island: colourful Port Lucaya Market Place with many shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment at Count Basie Square.
On foot, one of the beaches is just a 1 mile walk away!
We would be close by to assist you should the need arise.

Grand Bahamas Gem
This was an adult family get together and the house seemed ideal, especially since the use of a vehicle and boat were included. We were not disappointed in the house but the island as a whole is still recovering from Hurricane Dorian. The locals are hurting but we supported the economy going fishing, golfing, and eating out a lot. The house fulfilled our needs. No fresh water was a little bit of a pain (the storm surge did a number on the water supplies) so water bottles, ice etc were on our shopping list as well as some of the basics like coffee, laundry detergent (only enough for one load) etc. Shopping is expensive! Over all the place fit our needs and had the basics to make do. The real bummer, and our mistake in reading the details, was that there wasn't a hot tub. The spa is an extension of the non-heated pool so served no purpose. It gets quite chilly at night and the constant wind doesn't help so this would have been a nice addition. Our hosts were delightful and lived on their boat moored at the property while we stayed there. They were available as needed and were fellow Brits....an added bonus point!

Couldn't Have Been Better
What a wonderful experience. Our family of 8 adults fit into this house with no problem whatsoever. Bob and Carol are wonderful hosts that respected our privacy the entire time we were there, but if we needed their advise they were there. The amenities included (use of the car and the skip) with the property certainly made our stay much more enjoyable. When our travels take us back to the Bahamas we certainly will be in touch.

Quiet, Relaxing, Wonderful Place to Stay
Our family of 7 enjoyed an amazing vacation at Bob and Carole’s home. They were the best hosts, very friendly and helpful. My son-in-law brought his boat over which he docked right there at the house. Access to the Atlantic Ocean was short and easy. The pool was clean and perfect for relaxing in the sun. The house was large enough to give us all plenty of space and the kitchen was huge and had everything we needed to prepare meals with the fresh fish we caught. We would definitely stay here again if we plan another vacation in the Bahamas. Thank you Bob and Carole! We loved meeting you and feel like we have two new friends!
