Wonderful stay at Passionate Pelican
Property was beautifully situated with an amazing view of the bay and ocean. Access to kayaks was a pleasure as were the easy waterfront strolls at practically the front door. Our hosts were incredibly helpful and made the stay simply wonderful

An Absolutely Wonderful Stay!
Passionate Pelican is a small beautiful cottage w/ an INCREDIBLE view of the blue water at low tide! Owner Peter was helpful in providing tips for area by email & Violet was nice & accommodating giving the keys. Ample room for couple but note there are only 3 rms: combo living room/kitchen, bathroom, & air-conditioned bedroom. Another bathroom on lower level w/outside entrance. We stayed early Sept - very hot, but nice cool breeze on the balcony, so heat wasn't a problem indoors. Seems in Sept, the bugs aren't bad as I expected. I don't think they like breeze so had NO problem w/biting bugs. Amazing stargazing on balcony, we saw the huge Starlink satellite which freaked us out a little until I looked it up & knew what it was! Beach area in front of cottage seemed safe at low tide, went WAY out & could stand for most of it. Crystal clear water, warm as bath water! We snorkeled to left of the property where it's rockier & by Lochabar blue hole (scary looking!), saw some cool fish in those areas. Kayak worked well low tide, not so well high tide - big change in the water. Glad we didn't try to make it to the islands in the distance! Sept is offseason, saw very few people. Some restaurants close. Clarence Town was ghost town. Beautiful quiet relaxing vacation in paradise! Recommend boat tour (we used Big V Adventures) & Hamilton's Cave. Don't rely on BahamasAir to keep your flight time - we had to stay an extra night in Nassau due to changes. Locals said to take a ferry instead.

Long Island Getaway
Home has a spectacular view and amazing beach in front of the house. Violet was extremely helpful and changed her schedule to help us get into the house. She also gave us a lot of tips on where to go/what to do as it was our first trip to Long Island. Location was great on the south end of the island, near the marina and about 30 miles from Gordon's Beach which was beautiful. Would definitely recommend staying here particularly for a party of 2.

Top position
This property in my opinion is positioned in the best place on the island. It has a great living area overlooking the water with a great balcony. High ceilings throughout which gives it a lot of space and it’s easy to find. The beach is great for walking , swimming and sunbathing. Thank you Peter and Pam !

Time off in Paradise
Great experience from beginning to end. Owners Peter and Pam very welcoming and helpful via email with local info. Violet, the property Manager super nice and helpful. She made us feel like we were old friends coming to visit. Any questions and she was back at you immediately with a reply. As Bahamians visiting one of our family islands, we are so happy to know that people going there will really have a good, relaxing experience. The view from the cottage was soooo beautiful. Suffice it to say Passionate Pelican was a little slice of heaven. Thank you Peter, Pam and Violet

This cottage was everything we were looking for!
Our trip started rocky with a delayed flight, but the island has a way of healing everything. Peter was an amazing host. He was very helpful with any questions and you can feel his love for the island. Violet is the manager, who is equally as awesome and helpful. The cottage is really something I could see myself purchasing in the future. There were no surprises. If anything, I was surprised I couldn't make it by myself to the outer islands while the tide was coming in lol. We had so much fun. It was secluded enough too, the vegetation is so high everywhere, there's so much to check out. Make sure you rent a car!
