Vacation Rental Description

Beautiful Oceanfront Home, Private Location with miles of Secluded Beach. Perfect!!!!
Our Home is called Pleasant Dreams because it is located on Pleasant Harbor in Northern Andros (and it is our Dream come true!). The house is completely secluded surrounded by coconut palms, island habitat, white sandy beaches and turquoise ocean waters. You can walk the secluded white sandy beaches for hours seldom encountering another sole. The third longest Barrier reef in the world borders the island of Andros, making it a spectacular Diving, Snorkeling, and Fishing destination.

Our miles of sandy beach/ocean front with crystal clear turquoise waters is perfect for children, where the shallow waters, gradually descend deeper. Also great for the adult who likes to swim, float on chairs in the beautiful water and relax in the sun. For the adventurous adult, deeper waters and snorkeling are just a short swim out. There are several small reefs (easy to snorkel on) right off of our beach where you can spear lobster, collect conch, and fish or snorkel for many kinds of reef fish.

There is also some very good BoneFishing (Andros is known as the 'Bonefishing capital of the world') right off of our beaches. If you are interested in Sport or Spear Fishing off of a 28 foot sport-fishing boat (for Mahi Mahi, Dolphin, Grouper, and other large game fish), Guided Snorkeling Trips, or a BoneFishing boat & guide, Rodney Miller (a local Bahamian fisherman) will be glad to set up an island adventure that you won't forget. He will pick you up in his boat right in front of the house!!! Let us know if you are interested in these options.

For the non-fisherman, Kayaking (we provide 2 complementary 2/seater ocean kayaks for your use), walking the empty beaches, relaxing in the crystal clear waters on floating chairs, Biking on the Complementary Bicycles provided, and beach combing for shells is a favorite pastime. In addition, Andros is an excellent place to go for Bird Watching. There are more than 300 species of birds found in the Bahamas.

Pleasant Dreams can be rented in two different ways: 1. As a Three Bedroom 2 Baths (sleeps 6) or 2. As a Two Bedroom 1 Bath (sleeps 4). The whole house is always yours, we just rent the smaller portion if there is a smaller party and they don't need the whole house for a cost savings. The Master Bedroom is located on one side of the house and can be locked separately so that the whole house does not need to be rented if you do not need the space. The Master Bedroom has a King Size Bed with an Ocean View, and a small private bath with a shower. Main House has two bedrooms, which can either be made into Two King Size Bed (with pillow tops) Or Two Twins Beds in Each Room (We just need to know ahead of time what configuration you would like). We also have an additional trundle bed and air beds for extra sleeping arranged upon request and with permission (extra fees may apply)

One bedroom has a beautiful Oceanview the other, overlooking the gardens and coconut palms swaying in the breeze. The bath in the main house has a tub/shower combination. The Kitchen is modern with stainless steel tables and open shelving, gas stove, coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven, and a full refrigerator. The Living Room/Dining Room is pleasantly furnished with a large dining room table which seats 8-10, beach house rattan living room furniture, a TV/VCR (for viewing movies only), large supply of movies, and a working fireplace for those cool January evenings.  Internet access is provided, please bring your own laptop.



 

Area Description

Andros is known as an 'Outer or Family Island' which requires some explanation. No one (that we know of) takes credit cards, and travelers checks can be a problem (not everyone takes them or they charge you extra to use them). Cash is the best thing to bring for money. There is an ATM on the island that you can access if you need more cash, it is located a couple of miles from our house at the Scotia Bank.

The island is very remote, there are a few local restaurants which serve local bahamian fare, and small grocery mom & pop type grocery stores within a couple of miles of our house. Nothing fancy though, and very non-touristy.  We usually bring a cooler with frozen meats and deli items (hard to find on the island), you can get fresh fish, seafood, and other items on the island.

To get to North Andros, San Andros Airport, you take a flight to Nassau, then either take Western Air www.westernairbahamas.com , or a private pilot over for $60 per person each way (prices subject to change), call Glen Pratt at 305-360-8978 or Jerome Henfield at 242-471-8188 for more info on private flights.
