Incredible Family trip! Amazing location
Amazing location directly on the water. Snorkeling right outside in the shallow waters we saw stingrays, barracudas and all types of fish. Our family of 6, 4 young kids ages 10-5 loved every minute of Shawn's Home. The private pool was a huge bonus for windy days or to just bum around whenever we wanted. Shawn lined up our initial airport transfer and gave us numerous recommendations for car rental, restaurants, activities etc. He was very accommodating. Our favorites were the balconies for morning coffee, fully stocked kitchen with all utensils that we needed as we cooked every breakfast and many dinners in the home. Everything worked, everything was clean and we couldn't have been happier with our very first VRBO. Shawn we hope to see you again very soon. Bahamas, we miss you already.

All we could ask for!!
Everything about this stay was absolutely amazing!! There were 9 of us and I'm not sure we have anything to actually complain about! The house was exactly as described, the primary bedroom (on second floor) was great with the most amazing views, nice ensuite and lots of space. 2nd bedroom on that floor was large as well, big bed, lots of storage,. Bathroom was just outside the bedroom door and a good size bathroom with tub/shower. 3rd floor is a large open room w/4 king size beds, perfect for all of our kids to have their own space, and balcony, Main floor kitchen/living/bathroom.. beautiful views..Kitchen had what we needed to enjoy the stay, and lots of seating in both. Beautiful pool well maintained, the beach across the road is a lot nicer than some people gave it credit for. It's basically private. More than enough towels provided to use at both! Shawn was the most amazing host, who perfectly walked the line of making you feel like he wasn't even there, but being there anytime we needed anything. He went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, by the little things he did. Can't praise him enough! Also, hire the driver!!!!!!! Best decision we could've made!! Another wonderful human who will do everything he can to make you time enjoyable!! My personal suggestions, full length mirror in primary, more storage on the 3rd floor, and a mop. None of these were big issues so I never even told Shawn or I'm sure he would have fixed them while we were there!

Bahamas vacation
Good location only 15 minute drive to downtown Nassau. Nice, safe neighborhood with friendly residents. Great sunrise mornings, sandy beach nearby, nice pool. Small kitchen with outdated appliances, only one frying pan and no baking pans. Furniture is outdated and shower in main bathroom is very small and in poor shape. Interior needs improvements.

Great time had by all!
My husband and I just recently stayed at the Ocean Spray with our 5 adult children. We had a wonderful trip! Shawn is a great host. He was very quick to respond to any questions I had prior to our trip. He was also very accessible during our stay to help us out with a couple of things we needed. The pool is great. It is in a very private location. It is a good size and temperature and is 7 ft deep at one end so nice for adults to use. The home is right across the street from a small beach. This is not a great beach to sunbathe on. The location where the sand is exposed is quite rocky in the water. There are concrete steps down to the water where the parking lot is. If you enter the water at this spot, it is very sandy The water is shallow for quite a distance out and there is a semi-circle of rocks that offer protection from the waves. It was a great spot to cool off in the ocean. The view is amazing! This was my favorite part of the property. It is right on the ocean and there are decks on all three levels that have spectacular views. There is a pretty busy road that runs right in front of the property and this does take away some of the enjoyment of the view, but it is still absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend hiring Shawn's driver. Brenoid was such a pleasure to deal with. He was always prompt with pickup and had great suggestions for places to go. There are pros and cons with the location. The listing clearly states that this property is in a residential neighborhood, however, there really is nothing to do within walking distance. It was necessary to have the driver pick us up every time we wanted to go out and it took at least 15 minutes to get to any restaurant or activity. Just for a reference, one night three of my kids wanted to stay longer than the rest of us at a bar at the Atlantis and took a taxi back. It cost them $70. While it is nice to be away from the hectic downtown area, we did get a little tired of needing transportation for absolutely everything.

Great Location! Even better driver.
This house was perfect for two couples and their kids. All the beds are king size which matters to us. The 5 girls were able to share the 3rd floor loft. That being said, you will be sharing a bathroom with whoever is on that 3rd floor. This is not a problem for our family. The pool is great place to unwind from a day out on the beach, excursion or sightseeing. Having the beach across the street was so convenient. We spent 3 of our days lazing in that beautiful inlet. We found so many beautiful shells and treasures. Such a relaxing experience. We hired Berniod for our driver for the week and it was a great decision! He is so kind, funny and laidback. Our car Karaoke will be a cherished memory from this trip. :-) His taste in music was on point and made our drives so much fun! Katy Perry will never be the same!

Beautiful property with all the amenities
We had the best week in Nassau! We took our 4 kids with us from Texas. It’s our 3rd time to the Bahamas and it was nice to stay outside the resorts. The property was as described. When we arrived, Shawn had it all Cleaned and smelling fresh. It’s an awesome location near the beach and a very clean private pool. My favorite things as a mom is as the washer and dryer and the kitchen was set up perfectly with the right tools to cook during our stay. The third level was perfect for my 4 kids as it had 4 queen beds set up in their own private space! They loved it. Lots of towels were available as well. Shawn also saved the day with coffee filters one morning as I forgot to pick those up from the market. The biggest plus was having his private driver Brenoid. He made the travel around the island easy and took us to the market to shop right as we came Into the island. My kids and I miss Brenoid already. He’s super patient and knows all the good places to visit. Can’t thank both these guys enough for making our stay in the Bahamas so fun and special.

Lovely house and wonderful Host
Ocean Spray is exactly as advertised! The house is very spacious and has all the necessities required. Lovely clean home in a quiet residential area away from the bustle of the city across the road from the beach, with wonderful views of the sunrise from the balconies. Shawn is an excellent host. He made everything easy from a flexible checkin and out to even driving us to get groceries I highly recommend hiring Shawn’s driver, Brenoid. He was available whenever we needed him, always arriving promptly. He has a large (12 passenger van) that can accommodate your group and luggage. Even provided an infant car seat for our stay. His fee included airport pickup and drop off, gas, tolls, mileage etc. Overall our family had a wonderful vacation made special by Shawn’s assistance and recommendations. We will look forward to returning!

Blue Water Family Dive Vacation
I reserved the Ocean Spray Beach House for a family trip that included several dive days for 10 of our family members (we had 12 members staying altogether). We were very pleased with our accommodations, and especially enjoyed Brenoid and Wayne as our drivers all over the island throughout our 5 day stay. Shawn is an excellent host and set us up with Brenoid to meet our transportation needs. We found the home comfortably equipped for our family needs and the pool was also a wonderful asset during our stay! We had a vacation full of lifetime memories and Shawn, Brenoid & Wayne made this possible! Thank you for the excellent property and hospitality! Clarissa House

Nice roomy house right across from a beach.
Renting from Shawn was a great experience. He was easy to work with and was there to greet us when we arrived. Whenever we needed anything, he had it to us by the next morning. As far as the house goes, it is in a quiet area on the East side of the island. The sunrises each morning were spectacular. There was plenty of room for the 9 of us. The parents slept in the two bedrooms and the young adults had plenty of room in the loft. The house is well kept and has all the necessities. We ate about half our meals at the house and half out, so having a full kitchen was great. Also, having the washer and dryer was helpful after the days water adventures. There also a brand new pool in the side yard. I would definitely recommend using Bernoid as the driver. He can take up to 12 and is available from 6am to midnight and even worked later to pick us up on New Years Eve. Wherever we needed to go he was there promptly to get us there. As the kids said “Bernoid is the man!” The reason for four stars instead of five is there are a couple of minor maintanence issues, the WiFi kept cutting in and out and there needs to be more seating in the living room. Overall, our stay at Oceanspray was fantastic and we will stay there again on our next visit to Nassau.

Large and lovely home for the 12 of us
We were 12 of us for a 5 day trip and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was clean and well appointed. Plenty of light around the home at night. A crib and high chair was ready when we got there. Air conditioning was very effective. Plenty of bottled water was provided. And Shawn was very friendly and responsive to our requests. For example, he delivered some coffee filters we needed first thing in the morning and one night he set out the grill before we got home so it would be ready for us after a trip to the supermarket. (Beware: food is pricey on the island, higher than what we are used to in the USA.) The home is in a quiet residential area with little traffic, away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. We hired Bernoid, a driver that Shawn recommended, for the 5 days. He had a 12 passenger van that fit all of us at once, including luggage. Otherwise we would have had to rent 2 vehicles and dealt with driving on the left side of the road. Transportation is required if you want to got to the supermarket or to one of the resorts on the island. Bernoid's fee included all gas and tolls. He picked us up whenever we wanted, including transportation from and to the airport, and was a great resource for information about the island. Shawn's place is highly recommended! Thank you, Shawn!

Large Space for a big family
My family stayed here because of the square footage, and the beachfront (although you have to cross a road to get to the beach). The house was large and spacious. We were surprised with the size of the loft space. We had four children on the third floor but it could have easily accommodated 8 people on that floor alone. Shawn is an absolutely amazing host and I would give him six stars if I was just reviewing him. If we had a problem he arrived promptly and resolved any issues. Once we had a problem with the AC and the WIFi and both times Shawn promptly fixed the issues by resetting the equipment. You definitely need a driver if you are staying here. We are glad we decided to at the last minute, because the location is about 20minutes from town. Our driver Brenoid was amazing! He even was there at 5am in the morning once after being up all night (it was New Years Eve) and was an excellent source of information about Nassau. Our only issue was that the beach was not really a beach to layout on if it was high tide. It's okay during low tide. However, if you just want to snorkel or swim it was perfect. The microwave wasn't working properly, but a few buttons worked so we operated it that way. Also the WiFi didn't work on the second and third floors so we had to go to the first floor to get on the internet. Not sure we could have found anything on the island with this amount of space, and for this price. It was a great stay for all.

Awesome and quiet
We loved our trip and this house. We got this for the seclusion. Having the driver was good because it is a solid 20 min or more from Atlantis and the main tourist stuff. The house was great. Shawn was awesome and helpful. I thought there would be more of a “beach” but with the tides that effected it. However, the last two days we went down and snorkeled out in front of the house and the rocks created a reef and we saw a ton of fish. So it was more fun than I initially thought. The ac in the house was excellent. Tons of room. Had a great time

Lovely house - everything as advertised!
We had a group of 4 families (10 adults and 8 kids) rent out both the Oceanspray and Seabreeze homes from Shawn for a 6 day trip to Nassau. So glad we found this house. First off, everything was as advertised/presented. Beautiful CLEAN house in a residential (not touristy) neighborhood with all the amenities and space we needed across the street from the beach. Fully stocked kitchen, linens, etc. Beds for everyone. In fact, the top floor is just a huge room with a bunch of beds so the kids slept up there. The beach across the street was lovely in the morning and at most times was empty (like a private beach for us). The grocery store was 5 minutes drive away and the prices were reasonable (compared to the touristy part of the island). We would generally eat one meal per day in the house and one out so it worked out. We brought some ingredients from home and bought the rest from the supermarket nearby and there was plenty of equipment and appliances in the kitchen to make meals. But the part that really was the cherry on top was the owner Shawn was the best. He did everything he could to make our stay as pleasant as possible and checked in on us several times and never hesitated when we asked him for anything. As a local he had great advice about what to do on the island. One example of his dedication to make our stay as comfortable as possible is about a week before the trip I checked with him to find out if the houses had 2 pack n play cribs (we had 2 babies) and he replied back saying he only had 1 but would try to get another. Within a day he replied back and said he found one. I don't know if he bought one for us or got from a friend but that was very thoughtful of him as things like that are not so easy to access on the island. Our group likes to explore so we drove around the island exploring the beaches (Coral Beach and Jaws Beach were our favorites) and taking a few snorkel trips (ask the guy renting jetskis at Coral Beach to arrange one for you if you have group) and it was so comforting to come home to our Oceanspray/Seabreeze houses and take showers (another thing - houses NEVER ran out of hot water with 18 people taking showers/baths simultaneously/in a row), warm up a nice dinner, put the kids to bed, and put our wet stinky clothes in the laundry while we drink coffee and relax outside while listening to the ocean waves lapping against the shore. Perfect for us!

Horrifying and unbearable
The photo and description says we are renting a villa, which would have justified the extremely overpriced price! However when we arrived there was only half a villa! Because the landlord himself lives in the other half! It was an old house inside and just newly painted on the outside. It stinks of mildew without end in the small uncomfortable seating area at the very entrance. But he advertises for 12 people. There would never be room for the 12 guests in the small half of the house! There is a bedroom with a bathroom that needs renovation (water damage to the closet), rusted fittings. Everything is carelessly set up like in a bachelor pad. We also found more than 3 dead cockroaches and one live one in the kitchen, beds and sleeping area. The house is as is and in need of renovation and should not be rented out for the price! However, the hammer is the completely restricted (very sloping ceiling) on the 3rd floor (attic conversion), in which we found 4 double beds next to each other, like in a reception camp! And another double air mattress! No seating area, or closet and the harshness, two completely unfaired huge motors for the house air conditioner, which were loud and horrible to see in the attic. This is not a bedroom! The bed linen was also partially uncleaned and smelled of use. Everything like in an old house where a grandma is dying. The owner was always friendly. But that cant help! We feel cheated!!!
