Wonderful vacation at Winnie's home!
Winnie's home was perfect for our family vacation! Exactly as described in the posting and Winnie was an exceptional host. Definitely recommend for your vacation at Palm Cay. The walk to the beach and beach club was short and easy, and having the pool outside the front steps was perfect.

An amazing family experience
We are so grateful to Winnie for being so kind and accommodating. We lost a family member and needed to reschedule last minute. Winnie made it work and also gave us a sweet card. The condo is beautiful and Palm Cay is a wonderful place for families. Pro-tip for families with infants: The condo is three bedrooms, but the pack-and-play fits in the walk-in closet off the bathroom with room to spare if all the other bedrooms are taken and you want baby to have his/her own space. Buy the beach passes, they are worth it! Check out the Pink Octopus and say hi to Ginger the cat for us! Lastly, one of our favorite memories of this trip were the taxi rides to and from the airport with Fred. He knows so much about the area and will show you some amazing things in your 30 minute trip with him.

Great stay
Winnie was great to work with and we had the pleasure of meeting her when we arrived. She also didn’t disappoint with the cake - which was greatly appreciated by my two sons! Accommodation was perfect. Very clean and spacious. Great location. About 10mins walk to the beach/gym etc. Super quiet at night as well. We all upgraded to the resort passes which is $20-$30 per day per person depending on if you have gym access. It’s not cheap for a family of 4, but it nice using the beds at the beach. Bar and restaurant very good. All in, we had a great trip. I would definitely recommend Winnie and this apartment to anyone looking to visit the Bahamas but stay away from the hustle of the cruise ships. It really was a little piece of paradise.

Our 3rd time booking from Winnie and Reto. They are great to deal with and quick to respond. The Villa is gorgeous and has everything you need inside and a pool just outside your front door and beach a few minutes away . Palm Cay is lovely, quiet (even with all the construction) and safe! Access to the private Beach Club is worth it. Don't miss out on eating at the Pink Octopus, whether for dinner or lunch and Sunday Brunch is also a treat. The Bar also has some great drinks. A little bit of Paradise without having to go to Paradise Island with all the crowds.

Exactly what we were looking for!
We loved our stay at Palm Cay in large part because of the condo itself. Winnie met us at the condo to make sure everything was perfect. She even baked us a cake as a welcome gift! We loved the resort, amenities, and resort staff. We walked everyday to the beach enjoying the views along the way. We played tennis, went snorkeling, relaxed, used the fitness center, enjoyed the bar and restaurant. We also had lunch at the marina market one day. We utilized her recommendations for a driver (Fred)everyday to and from different places. He was fantastic and we felt like we gained a new friend! The pool outside our condo was always clean and literally steps from the front door. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Winnie!

Wonderful Stay at Palm Cay!
This is a perfect getaway for a family. It was spacious and impeccably clean. Winnie allowed us an early check-in (thankfully, as we were traveling with a toddler from the U.S. very early in the morning) and left us snacks and water. The condo has everything you would need, including beach toys. Rent a golf cart! It's a 10-minute walk to the beach and we were constantly shuttling back and forth to the beach, playground, and shops. The cart is fun, and so worth it.

We had such a lovely stay at Winnie and Reto’s condo. The photos are a perfect representation of the space - it was so clean and had everything we needed and more. Winnie and Reto were very communicative and quick to respond when we reached out. We also rented an SUV through Winnie and Reto which was such an easy experience. Fred was amazing just as the other reviews mention and was prompt getting us to and from the airport. We spent the extra money to have access to the owners beach and additional pools - would highly recommend. The chairs and tiki huts that are included as part of the owners beach were perfect. We really spent the majority of our time at the beach and pool! Thank you Winnie and Reto for sharing your home with us! We will definitely be back!

Perfect paradise!
We took our adult children to Nassau for a family vacation. We wanted to stay away from the busy part of the island, but close enough to access restaurants for dinner. This unit in Palm Cay cold not have been more perfect! Winnie was the most wonderful and attentive host with prompt communication and assistance with car rental private boat tour. Check in and out process was seamless. The beach and pool were amazing, beautiful views, and not crowded. We also enjoyed the pool right outside of the unit. The unit itself was clean, well-appointed, and spacious enough for our group of 5 adults. We enjoyed the Pink Octopus a lunch and dinner as well as the cafe for morning coffee and breakfast sandwiches. There’s also a large grocery store and smaller liquor store right down the road which was very convenient for getting a few items to prepare during our stay. We had an amazing vacation and would highly recommend this unit!

Immaculate well appointed property with an amazing host. Unfortunately, it was cooler and cloudier than we hoped to enjoy a beautiful beach. You need a car as there are not many places to dine. Food at the resort is pricy and could seem limited if you like more variety. We would still go back with these things in mind because we still had a wonderful vacation.

Palm Cay
Our stay at Winnie and Reto's place was amazing. As other reviews mentioned the photos do not do their place justice. The high ceilings, spacious rooms, stocked kitchen, covered patio and the beautiful decor around the unit make for a very inviting space to relax and enjoy. Having the pool just steps out the door was an added bonus. Since we went during the rainy season we would wait for breaks in the storms and throw our bathing suits on and jump in the pool. Winnie and Reto were fantastic hosts. Quick to reply and respond to any requests or questions we had. We rented a car from Reto and would recommend this option to others as well. They had Frank (personal Taxi driver) pick us up and drop us off at the airport at no extra cost. Frank was always on time and full of knowledge about the island. We highly recommend purchasing the extra amenities from the welcome centre that provide access to the beach, lap pool, and beach bar. Without it you would be pretty limited in what you can do. The beach is well maintained, raked for seaweed every morning. Our only complaint is the staff there are not very welcoming and often seemed annoyed if we asked for anything. This area is fast developing and will be very luxurious once complete. But in the meantime it is under construction. This did not bother us as the unit is far enough away from the construction sites that the noise wasn't too noticeable. Overall, we highly recommend staying here. Winnie's place will not disappoint!

Beautiful Nassau Escape at Palm Cay - Winnie's Unit
The pictures on Winnie's website are beautiful but when we got there I didn't imagine it to be as beautiful as it was in person! It is immaculate and well stocked. If you are considering renting the electric golf cart, I highly recommend it. We were able to drive a maximum 2 miles away from the unit with the golf cart because it could only go up to a certain amount of mph. We were able to drive it to the beach that was not too far. The grocery store called "Solomons" is just a couple of blocks away from the unit so having the golf cart made it convenient for picking up groceries. You park it just like a regular vehicle. They have a restaurant in Palm Cay called the Pink Octopus which we ordered some to-go items but Winnie had all of the cookware to make food which we found to be economic for us. The only thing is that she did not have a rice cooker, but she had all of the teflon pots in all sizes which was not a problem at all to cook rice. The pool is honestly right outside of the door. Perfect for taking a dip in the pool. Winnie was so thorough with showing us around the unit and even letting us know that it is recommended not to drink the water which may cause some stomach issues so we made sure we bought water at Solomons. Solomons has everything that you could find in any grocery store. Sign up for discount card. It takes 2 seconds. We were able to log in to Winnie's smart tv's with our Netflix and she has smart tv's in every room. I have more to say... to be continued

Amazing Experience!
Our experience staying in Palm Cay at this 3-bedroom condo was amazing! Winnie and Reto provided our family with exceptional customer service and professionalism. They arranged a cab service for us to and from the airport with Fred (the driver). Fred was outstanding and provided us with some history on the Bahamas. The condo was perfect for our family of four. We stayed for 7 days and had no issues at all. We were able to cook in the beautiful kitchen and do laundry so we could travel back home with clean clothes. The beach was only a 1 minute drive away and we were also able to enjoy the pool located right outside of the condo. Winnie and Reto provided us with several great restaurant recommendations, excursions, and even provided coloring books and games for the kids.

Break from snow!
First of all, there are no false descriptions of this property. Everything was exactly as stated. You cannot ask for a better host than Winnie. If you have any questions or concerns, she is very quick with an answer. Having the pool right outside your door is so nice as that is where we spent a good share of our time soaking up the sun. We also enjoyed some beverages and the food at the Pink Octopus. We only had one issue and that was minor, but still annoying, was the fact that the bartender at the tiki bar would not wait on us, so we left. One thing that cannot be left out is our recommended driver, Fred. The man is so nice and very reliable. We went to the Baha-Mar for our anniversary and Fred gave us a ride back in the evening. He drove back along the coastline and gave us a little island history along the way. He is the BEST! Overall, a very nice property and resort. Thank you Winnie, Rick and Patty

Amazing beach getaway with family
We were looking for a relaxing beach vacation and we found it in the Palm Cay community. Winne's place is lovely and we enjoyed coming back to a well-appointed, comfortable and roomy condo after each day's excursion. The set up of the gated community is very convenient, beautiful and low-key and isn't as overwhelming as staying in a huge resort. We used the beach club every day, either at the beginning or end of the day, while exploring other parts of Nassau. We rented a car, which was helpful to have since we enjoyed going the downtown area of Nassau for variety. We ended up driving to the beach club from Winnie's house nearly every time since there's plenty of parking at the club area, but the few times we walked to the beach, it wasn't that far. We also loved having the community pool right outside our door on mornings we wanted a quick swim before we started our day. We bought groceries from Solomon's (which closes at 7pm on Sunday's - FYI if you're checking in on a Sunday) and ate some meals at home and others at Pink Octopus and downtown Nassau. Also, listen to Winnie when she tells you how to protect yourself from mosquitos (they are everywhere outside, though you can't see them). We did not listen and got eaten up alive! Despite the mosquito bites, I cannot recommend this place and this community enough if you're looking for a chilled, laid-back beach vacation with family.

This property is perfect for a nice, relaxing vacation in Nassau. We loved having the space of the home, in addition to the resort amenities that we purchase for the week. I would definitely recommend renting the golf cart to get to and from the beach and the grocery store (especially if you have small kids). The home was very clean and Winnie was very responsive and helpful. We ate mostly within the resort but utilized her favorite driver (Fred) for transportation off property. I highly recommend this property and location!

Hello Bethany, It is always a pleasure to know that my guests enjoyed themselves. It was certainly a pleasure hosting you and will be happy to do so again should you return. The golf cart is definitely a plus because it gives you that total resort feeling. Stay safe, Sincerely, Winnie

Amazing family vacation
Our family of four had the best vacation at Winnie's condo. We enjoyed 9 days here and left wanting more. The condo looks brand new and is sparkling clean. We had plenty of space and enjoyed having the front porch and pool outside our door. The beach is 5-10 minute walk and is absolutely gorgeous. We paid for the beach club membership and rented the golf cart to go and get our groceries. We also used Fred any time we went on an outing. We enjoyed a day at Atlantis and a day at Rose Island swimming with the pigs. One night we dined at Latitudes and I highly recommend the restaurant. Having the Pink Octopus restaurant onsite was amazing too. We can't wait to return to Bahamas and would definitely stay here again. Winnie is the best host!

Highlight of the trip
We booked this while in Nassau as our first place was not what we expected and we decided not to stay. I was unfamiliar with the eastern part of the island but Palm Cay is fantastic! So thankful that Winnie had availability and we instantly felt rescued. I am just sorry we couldn't have stayed longer. Everything about this place is a 10/10. Can hardly wait to go back

Very clean condo and the amenities at Palm Cay are great. The pool right outside of the door was perfect for the kids. The beach bar and Pink Octopus are very convinient.

Perfect for a Family of 6
This place was perfect. I took my family for my birthday. The condo and amenities had everything we needed plus more. The condo is gorgeous. The beach was my favorite. And the pool is literally right outside the front door. It was a gated community. So, I felt safe allowing my 3 teenage daughters to walk around freely. Winnie was amazing, there was never a lack in communication. Overall, I highly recommend this location. This has nothing to do with the host or her condo but warning, the property is pretty big. Walking to the beach was about a 15 minute walk. I recommend renting the golf cart provided by the host. There is no market on site, so stop for food before you arrive. And whatever you do, do not rent the Bird scooters. I ended up paying $60 for two 15 minute uses.

Birthday Getaway
Our family of 6 stayed for 5 nights at Winnie’s condo. It was perfect! We loved the set up and property. We rented the golf cart and paid for access to the additional amenities. We are at the restaurant multiple times (lunch and dinner) and everyone in our party loved it - staff was amazing. Biggest highlight of the trip was our driver Fred - other have left rave reviews and I understand why - he made our trips off property super easy - he is very knowledgeable and friendly. When we arrived our group was starving and Fred took us to the sweetest brunch spot - it started our whole trip off right. We will highly recommend this condo and location - we will for sure be coming back!

Fantastic rental!
The hosts were so attentive and understanding. They always answered our messages quickly and the property is immaculate. One of the very best rentals we have ever stayed in. Great vacation location if you do not want to be around all of the hustle and bustle. We also rented a golf cart from them which totally made our trip carefree. Finally the recommended taxi driver named Fred was a pleasure to ride with and was very attentive and timely. Thanks for a great trip!

What a fabulous experience!
The property is located in a beautiful quiet haven on the southern eastern coast of Providence Island. It's the opposite of Nassau, Paradise Island and so many other resorts. You will have the opportunity to get to know the staff and other guests . . . by the way, such a valuable experience! Really no need to leave the private community unless you want to! The market is just around the corner and quite extensive. As a family of five consisting of 3 large teenage boys, we cooked at home and ate out. Favorite dining spots . . . Pink Octopus located on the water ~ great EVERYTHING; Syrah Cellar Cafe in Nassau ~ fabulous food and wine AND parking; and don't miss the Dockside Cafe in the marina! Winnie is amazing ~ fabulous hostess!

Enjoyable getaway
Unit was the perfect size for our 6 person getaway. Kitchen was well equipped for preparing meals. Owners were delightful and extremely responsive with any inquires we had. They offered great recommendations for restaurants, shopping and fresh lobster. Recommend utilizing the golf cart for driving to the beach and for your shopping needs. At this time, there is still quite a bit of development and construction in Palm Cay so it can be noisy at times in the unit and by the beach. Beach area and beach club were smaller than anticipated but was still very nice. Servers were friendly but service was slow at both the pink octopus and the beach bar throughout the week; however, the cocktails were delicious. If you need a taxi or driver, Fred is definitely your guy. We so enjoyed our time with him that we invited him to lunch on our last day. I recommend this unit for anyone looking for a calm and relaxing getaway.

Hello Susan, In spite of all the development going on, I am happy you had a great time, right down to grilling your last meal which smelled delicious. I am sorry the disturbance from the development bothered you. Hopefully, it will be finished soon. It is unfortunate, but in order for Palm Cay to grow and become a bigger and better Resort, we must go through this process. I enjoyed hosting your family and, hopefully, will be able to do so in the future. Take care and stay safe. Sincerely, Winnie

Enjoyed our Stay at Palm Cay, but will have to go elsewhere next time!
My family of 5 (three kids), my mom and I, greatly enjoyed our stay at Palm Cay! We arrived at Palm Cay after staying at Atlantis. The condo was extremely clean and it had everything we needed. We enjoyed playing board games, having breakfast on the porch and going to the beach. We also really liked Winnie. As much as we'd like to give this location a 5 star review, there were a couple of details that fell short. First, this location is about 30 minutes away from downtown, not 15 minutes a shown in the description. We rented a car and easily drove up to the Palm Cay beach, but if you don't have a car it would take about 15 minutes to walk. Furtheremore, the beach at Palm Cay is small-it's essentially two coves and it wasn't as pretty as the beaches on Paradise Island. One of the cove's is for members only and there's a $27 fee per person, per day to have access to the main cove, a lounge and an adults only lap pool. The other beach cove is free, but the non-members entrance to the cove was narrow, uninviting, full of old furniture and there weren't any loung chairs is this section (felt more like we were entering through the back door). This was a huge miss for us. Also, keep in mind there's a fee for each activity, such as paddle boardding and kayaking. Finally, as we were checking out we were told to take our time and still checked out on time, but as we left the house, the next family checking in was waiting outside the door. This made it extremely uncomfortable for our family.

Hello Gisela, I am so sorry that you did not have a good experience. I know that at the beginning of your vacation you arrived at the airport to find that your flight was cancelled which cut you a day short in the Bahamas. At that point, you contacted me about a refund, (you were not entitled to any refund at all), but I did refund to you what I could, which I did not have to do. A few points of clarification: Downtown is about 15 minutes away from Plam Cay. If you are driving your own car and did not know the way, it could take you longer. The walk to the beach is about 10 minutes, not 15 minutes. You had a car, so did you walk to the beach to time it or are you assuming? There is a cost for the additional amenities, such as the use of the adult's lap pool, the beach bar and the private beach with Tiki huts, lounge chairs and beach towels at the cost of $50.00 per person for five to seven days. The $27.00 per day does not add up. The other beach that is free is the owner's beach and the "old furniture" is there temporarily due to ongoing work. And last but not least, the checkout time is 10:30 am. If I do not have a check in the same day, I allow my guests to stay late into the evening, free of charge. It just happened that on that particular day, I did have a check in, (which you knew about), but those guests arrived on an early flight and only wanted to leave their luggage while the condo was being cleaned. I would have done the same for you or any other guest. Like I said, I am sorry that you did not have a good experience which was, perhaps, spoiled from the beginning with your cancelled flight. Hopefully, your next vacation, wherever it may be, will be the best ever. I wish you all the best and a wonderful 2023. Sincerely, Winnie

Amazing Bahamas escape!
If you have the chance to stay here, grab it and don't miss out. Best host, incredibly clean and nice home, well stocked kitchen, games (which our family absolutely utilized), TVs in every room, pool directly in front of the home so can watch the kids swim while relaxing on the balcony, and the Palm Cay property amenities are awesome too - beautiful private beach, restaurant, fitness center, cafe with Starbucks, etc. If we ever get to come back, we would definitely stay here again. Host responded to any questions within minutes and left us a bottle of champagne for our anniversary - so sweet! Highly recommend, best experience possible!

We were there for the Bahamas bowl game and this was a perfect place to stay. The place was gorgeous, and was close to the water so we were able to walk to the beach. The hostess was fantastic and gave us all the information we needed about the home and the area. We will definitely be staying there again in the future.

1st Bahamas trip! Enjoyed our stay
Winnie was a fantastic host and property was immaculate. She was so helpful if we needed anything. She even gave us a ride to the store and restaurant the first day. She also arranged our pick up from the airport with Fred (fantastic) and made sure we had all questions answered. We stayed at Palm Cay area and enjoyed the beach, pool, restaurant, playground, and tennis courts.. We did hit Atlantis for the day with the kids, recommended restaurants, and booked a fishing trip from downtown. Side note - I had a harder time booking from Palm Cay marina so I made the call to use fishing charter downtown and it was great! Just make sure you prearrange a taxi.
