About this property

Waterfront Paradise. Dock included!

This newly built Grand Bahama Vacation Rental Home located on the water with boat access is professionally decorated and has a simple charm for both the beach goers and the fishermen. If you are a sport fisher or like to play on the water, this is your tropical paradise. Pull your boat up to the dock or simply throw your bait in the water right out back at the landing. The house has been stylishly decorated, making it a warm and cozy place to read, relax or sunbathe on the back deck. The landing has a 15 foot deep canal that doubles as a gateway for some of the best fishing and diving the Caribbean has to offer. A short walk down the road leads to the beach or snorkel the canal looking for tropical fish and lobster. Yes Lobster! In the evening, you are only a few short miles from the night life at Port Lucaya where you can dance the night away, enjoy a delicious dinner; or simply sit on the veranda in the rear of the home and smoke a cigar, star gaze, listen to music or even make a little of your own.

Awesome place and host!

August Lucaya Fishing
Everyone liked the house and accommodations. The boat fit at the dock very well. The house is located just inside the cut so it is not a long ride to open water. The owner was responsive and quite helpful. We will definitely rent this place again. We caught a lot of fish, particularly for mid-August.

This was the second time staying at this wonderful home. Jason, the owner was quick to respond to any questions and very helpful with recommendations. I highly recommend this home for its great location and cleanliness. The dock area was my favorite with the diving board and great snorkeling!!

Beautiful home in an even more beautiful location
We truly enjoyed this well-maintained home and its dock in Freeport and near Lucaya, located on a beautiful canal cannot be any closer to the fishing grounds. The home features a nice dock which had plenty of room for our 34' center console. The kitchen was well stocked and we really enjoyed barbecuing and the main living area/pool table. Jason is an excellent host, attentive, very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions we had. We look forward to staying at Haven Del Mar again soon!

Great location!
This was our first time in the Bahamas and this was the perfect house for our first stay. We loved sitting by the water in the morning with our coffee or sitting by while the kids were swimming. The house is clean and comfortable. It was nearby many things. The highlight was playing pool everyday. We'd highly recommend!

Comfortable & Relaxing
The house is in great shape, everything was very clean when we arrived (by private boat). The dock is in great shape, no issues there. Very relaxing to sit out there first thing in the morning or late at night. The beds were very comfortable, kitchen is well appointed with everything you would need. A/C works great, there are mini-splits in every room that are new. Took the bicycles for a ride down to Xanadu beach and we were literally the only people there. Jason provides an excellent and very detailed document that covers everything from how to get around, local attractions/stores and details about staying in the home. Overall an excellent experience, we will be back!

Great getaway!
We loved this home--it it new and very modern inside and out! The owner has taken every step to make it comfortable and absolutely care free! The beds are very comfortable, with high quality bedding. The bathrooms are roomy and modern as well. It sits on an impressively large lot with a nice view of the canal--which is great for swimming as there was very little traffic! Grand Bahama is a wonderful place and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic House and Location!
We drove our boat over from Florida, and the house was very easy to find. The location is right off the Atlantic Ocean, but nice secluded canal. The neighborhood is very clean and nice. The house has everything you need for a wonderful family vacation. The dock had fresh water for washing and cleaning fish. A bar with wi fi tv and comfortable chairs await you on the dock. The house has recently been remodeled, and all your needs anticipated. They even provide bikes and kayaks for your use. And, yes, the shark really hangs over the pool table! The kitchen is equipped with all you will need to prepare a family meal. The bathrooms are impeccably clean. Bed are very comfortable and well appointed. We are already planning our next visit to this wonderful inviting house!

Definitely recommend staying at this house very private but not to far from anything, Jason was amazing we ran out of propane an it was there the next morning! House was kept very clean inside an out, we loved the diving board an the snorkeling right off the dock! The pool table was an extra bonus since we didn’t have a car we stayed an cooked an had drinks an relaxed there no need to go anywhere.

Great place when you have a boat
This place was great! It is the Bahamas and expectations need to be in check regardless of a “5 star” resort or private home. If you have been to the Bahamas, you understand how rare working appliance are, and everything in the house operates. Everything is as described but if you are looking for a beach front resort this is not your cup of tea. It has easy access from the inlet, port Lucaya is a 10 min run by boat, and fishing grounds are just outside the inlet. We loved it and will visit again. Communication with Jason was great!

Dry dock elation
The house is nice but need some T.L.C. talking to Jason he say that the house will forgo a renovation by the end of the month. We had some problems that I already discussed with Jason. Over all we loved our stay. We were looking for quietness to be able to rest at night and we got it. The house is confortable good A.C. kitchen sufficiently equipped. Good entertainment center. I went and swim in the canal in front of the house, use the kayak and we had a BBQ outside. I highly recommend the property.

Pictures are out of date
We were very disappointed with the cleanliness of the property and the fact the photographs listed on VRBO are not showing the current state of the property (out of date photos). We stayed at the location for a month and left it cleaner than we found it. Here is a list of the major issues: - Area rugs in the kitchen, living room and under the pool table full of debris, food and sand. - Kitchen cabinet toe kick area and the cutlery tray had old food. - Dishes were so dirty we had to wash them all. Looked like the cleaner(s) wiped them with a dirty rag but didn’t use soap or water. - Left with quarter roll of toilet paper. - No propane on the BBQ. - Patio table broken and had to be held up with another chair. - The one and only patio wicker chair broken and unusable. - Diving board broken and not attached to the dock area for use. - Patio lounge chairs broken, we found one we could use but the legs were rusted and broken. (very sharp) - No hammock. - We couldn’t sit on the couch without using sheets because it felt so saturated with sweat, suntan lotion and tanning oil. You could see some one’s ass print in oil… it was just gross. - TV sound continually cuts out. - Toilet seat in the master bathroom was broken. Owner had someone come by with a replacement in the first week but put it in the closet saying she didn’t have the tools. We were there for a month and she never came back. She did leave us with a replacement lightbulb for the patio - we had to change it ourselves. - Master bathroom toilet wouldn’t flush properly and stinks so bad we had to shut the door due to sewer fumes. - Rugs in the bathroom dirty and not cleaned. I did find a booby pin in the rug when it went into my foot stepping out of the shower. - No drinking water……. Salt content of the water is currently to high and is undrinkable. Locals are using drinking water stations or bottled water. If you don’t have a rental car you will have a difficult time getting water to drink. - Next door house to the West (green house) had an audible exterior burglar alarm that went of every day 3 times or more lasting 20 minutes each time. It was so loud it woke our kids up at 3am multiple times and made sitting out side impossible when it was going off. This continued for the entire month we were at the location. - I could go on but I have wasted enough time on this place. This property is run down and the person watching the property for the owner is not taking care of it.

Quiet Week
The pictures don't represent this property accurately, it's even better in person. Had a great time fishing the channel and a few other areas the owner put us on. We booked last minute and the owner was able to schedule a phone call and provide us with exceptional information on fuel, bait, locations, restaurants and other key topics. We spent a few hours each evening jumping off the dock and swimming. They are near completion of a lounge at the dock...it already looks great. Cant wait to see it when it's completed. The house was clean and had everything we expected. The pool table provided us with a lot of entertainment in the evenings! Washer & dryer worked well. Kitchen and bathrooms were well equipped. The owner shared a large list of local dive sites and was equally open with fishing locations...a true ambassador to sports fishing. Most folks build these list after many years, a lot of money and sacrifice but then guard their efforts. Kudos for being a great ambassador! We had a wonderful time at this home and are already planning our next trip. Thanks for having our family!

Perfect Place for a group of people or a couple of families!
Jason was great! Super attentive and quick to respond and give info! If you fish, dive or boat this place is perfect. Location is somewhat central. For perspective, a 15 minute, $25-$30 cab ride to Lucaya or Solomon's. The house was super clean. Everything worked well and enjoyed the pool table. The dock space is adequate we had a 39' center console and it fit fine. Although I would suggest just getting rid of the beams on the lift that are in the water. There is no salvaging them, may as well get rid of them to give more depth in the slip. Just a suggestion. We will be back! I recommend staying here; great place.

Home away from Home
This property was everything we hoped it would be and more. The owner, Jason was helpful from questions about the reservation and throughout the pre-arrival and departure. We arrived by private boat and were able to dock behind the home. the owner provided us with a bevy of local way points for fishing and diving. We ate fresh fish every night including a lobster dinner caught in a secret location! Jason will let you know where when you book the home!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

Traveling throughout the islands, I wanted to build a home that had a tropical feel in a remote location while still having the conveniences of a modern city. Freeport is a cool mix of the laid back life style of the Abacos coupled with a hint of the city life of Nassau. You can drive to the east side of the island and walk for miles and not see a soul; or you can drive down the road to a store similar to Sam's Club or Costco and buy a weeks worth of groceries for your family.

What makes this property unique

Haven Del Mar offers direct access to the ocean from the backyard. You can pull your boat up to the dock, thus eliminating expensive dockage fees. You have the convenience of offloading stores and the catch of the day without traveling or walking long distances to your lodging. Hot day? Jump in the canal and catch some lobsters. Enjoy the tropical fish that live and play under the dock. Swim across the canal and you'll be on a remote beach that its only habitats are blue crab and tropical birds. Hear the ocean waves splash and crash from the back deck. In one of the most sought after neighborhoods in Grand Bahama, Haven Del Mar is ready to give you and your family remarkable memories of your exotic vacation to the islands.
