Perfect Bahamian Get Away
This was an absolutely beautiful home and property- the pictures and descriptions do not do it justice! We stayed with 2 other couples and it was perfect. It feels very secluded and private, and we never felt like we were bothering anyone or being bothered by anyone. Dinner next door was perfect and easy to get to. All management were so kind and helpful and got back to us quickly. It is the perfect spot for families or friends of all ages. Defintiely will be rebooking to take my adult children.

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Wild Orchid. The house is immaculate, and we loved its proximity to La Bougainvillea. We enjoyed the beach to ourselves, and had a great time discovering delicious restaurants on the island. Thank you to Pam and to Keenan for making everything so easy.

Livin’ the dream...
The group of people that we have to thank... Matt, Julian, Canyon, and our amazing chef Horatio!!! A million blessings to you all! The property is gorgeous, roomy and sits on a beautiful beach. Crystal clear water, powdery sand and a lovely breeze! My Miami family celebrated my son’s 30th and his buddy’s 31st! Every night was a party! The massages on the beach were spectacular! The DJ was awesome! We were pampered and we definitely “felt the love”....The Liebler Family
