Flamingo Lane is a luxury 4000 sq.ft., 5-bedroom 3 ½ bath waterfront island villa
Near beach, we are situated in a large canal basin with views over the water and our large pool is surrounded by tropical gardens.
We have available a 7/8 seat people carrier.
There is a 18 foot centre consul boat with GPS Chart Plotter available for experienced boaters. If you are not confident enough due to lack of experience we also offer an experienced captain who can take you from our dock to a beach, reef and waterside restaurants for an hourly rate. (Usually available, check before booking)We also have two person Kayaks and a paddle board for you to enjoy and explore the canal system. Should you bring your own boat dockage is available up to 50 foot.
This is a house built for entertaining! With multiple open plan living areas inside and 2000 sq. ft. of patio around the pool. Flamingo Lane is perfect for, group vacations and big families.
Getting to beaches is so easy. The bars, nightclubs, shops, cafes, restaurants, beach bars and markets of Port Lucaya are just over a mile drive away. For those arriving by boat, we have 125' of deep water canal frontage (approx. 16' deep) to accommodate both small and large vessels, plus 30 and 50 amp shore power for which there is a charge. WiFi internet, TV and water hook up.
To ensure your quote is correct make sure you have the total number of people in your booking. The standard rate is for eight guests and for each person over eight up to 12 there is an additional cost. If necessary please check our House Rules regarding number of people.

KITCHEN:
A huge open-plan space at the center of the house and leads into the TV Entertainment Lounge, the Formal Relaxing Lounge and the Dining Room. The close proximity to these other rooms allows the whole family or group to relax or do different activities but without being separated. The large island with granite counter-top serves as a meeting place for all guests. Ample seating is available - stools at the breakfast bar and stools at the round glass table (and a high-chair is available upon request at no extra charge). This makes it a great place to have breakfast altogether, mix drinks, and chat.

A separate door at the back of the kitchen leads to the UTILITY ROOM with a front-loading washing machine, a separate front-loading dryer, ironing board and iron.

DINING ROOM:
An airy and spacious room with a large dining table and six dining chairs, and overlooks our beautiful tropical front garden.
Situated at the front of the house, it is both open plan, so that guests do not feel confined, and also separate from the other living areas, to give a little privacy and quiet. The large dresser contains all the napkins, table mats you may require for the perfect formal island dinner in the comfort of Flamingo Lane.

TV ENTERTAINMENT LOUNGE:
This open-plan room is great for everyday living. A bright floral three-piece suite, coffee table and two side tables are surrounded by big windows that overlook the tropical garden and pool. Glass double patio doors open out onto the covered porch. A large flat-screen TV with media player and speakers provide a great entertainment area for kids and adults. There is collection of books and novels, as well as a chess set, backgammon, board games and cards.

FORMAL RELAXING LOUNGE:
This open-plan room is set off by a very large, comfy three-piece suite in a soft, rich red fabric. Accompanied by a big coffee table and two side tables, this is a wonderful place to spend the evening inside with cocktails, watching the sun set over the water, as the glass double patio doors open out onto the covered porch and overlook the pool fringed by coconut trees and, beyond, the canal.

BEDROOM 1:
Very large room with king-size bed, walk-in closet and flat-screen TV. Glass patio doors (with full blinds) lead out to patio, and pool. En-suite bathroom with shower and spa bath.

BEDROOM 2:
Very large room with king-size bed, closets and flat-screen TV. Glass patio doors (with full blinds) lead out to private patio with BBQ grill and picnic table, and to the pool. En-suite bathroom with walk-in shower.

BEDROOM 3:
Large room with queen-size bed, large closet, flat-screen TV and dressing table with mirror. Looks out over our beautiful tropical garden. En-suite bathroom with double sinks, bath and overhead shower.

BEDROOM 4:
Queen-size bed and bunk beds with closet. Looks out over tropical garden. Bathroom is shared with Guest Bedroom 3 via a separate door in the hall. There is also access to a half-bathroom via the hall.

BEDROOM 5/STUDY:
Queen-size pull-out sofa bed (very comfortable) with desk and hanging closet. If preferred, this room can be used as an office or study.​

Complementary toiletries in all bathrooms. Hairdryer available in all bedrooms. Bath towels provided.
A baby cot can be provided upon request at no extra charge.

SWIMMING POOL:
​​​The 30' x 15' large swimming pool is a focus for most guests, as you can imagine! Surrounded by coconut trees and Frangipani and overlooking the canal, it is definitely our favorite spot, too!

PATIO AREA:
The patio area surrounding the pool is approximately 2000 sq. ft. - plenty of room for entertaining. With several comfy loungers and separate pool towels provided, it is perfect for spending days relaxing in the sunshine or sunbathing. Around the corner from the pool is a patio sheltered by palm trees and complete with a BBQ grill, a big garden parasol for some shade and a large round picnic table for outdoor dining, drinking and entertaining.

COVERED PORCH:
The covered porch is often many guests' favourite place to relax in the evening. The sofa and armchairs all overlook the pool and, beyond, the canal - which provides a wonderful backdrop for the most beautiful sunsets (which we seem to be treated with almost every evening!) and the ideal spot for sundowners!

The house is situated in a large, quiet canal basin with a private dock. The neighbourhood is quiet and safe and the house has a code-operated gate at the front.

By boat (included), we are just a few minutes away from the ocean and beautiful beaches (often nobody else there…it's amazing). One of the best beaches is just outside of our canal entrance, less than 1/2 mile away. The boat is also ideal for just pottering around our waterway.

By car, we are a five minute drive to all the main attractions on the island: colorful Port Lucaya Market Place with many shops, bars, restaurants and entertainment at Count Basie Square.

On foot, one of the beaches is just a 1 mile walk away!

We would be close by to assist you should the need arise.

ACTIVITIES:
Only 60 miles east of the Florida coast, Grand Bahama has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and some of the clearest turquoise seas which make exploring the reefs with an abundance of colorful fish an amazing pastime - so make sure you bring along your underwater camera. If you scuba dive, the shark feed is a must or you can explore one of many wrecks.

Very Relaxing Stay
We stayed here after getting married in Nassau. It was very relaxing. The pool is a wonderful touch. The house itself is lovely and very comfortable. The location was great as well. The hosts are very accommodating and responsive. While they do stay nearby I felt like we had a lot of privacy. I would definitely recommend this place to others.

Perfect for a Bahamas Fishing Trip
We rented the home with a group of 14 friends (mostly couples) for a fishing trip (arriving by boat). The house amenities were great and the location was perfect to fit our needs. Plenty of space to park our boats. We really enjoyed the pool and the large living spaces.

Great vacation rental property!
This is a wonderful vacation rental. It was clean, spacious, and up to date. Three couples shared this home and found we had plenty of room. Beautiful decorated, large kitchen was well equipped. The owners take a lot of pride in their home and want your stay to be perfect. We would definitely rent this home again!

Super Awesome!
No complaints here! The house was fantastic as were Bob & Carole. They left contact information for a taxi driver, boating, and various things to do on the island. The house is very clean, cozy beds, and had all we needed. Great outdoor space as well. The pool was a bit on the chilly side but refreshing, didn't keep us out.

All inclusive home
Check in was easy. Owners arranged taxi pick up at the airport for all 9 of us. The home is beautiful and accommodated the 9 of us easily. They kept the pool clean and are easily available for questions. The house comes with a mini van that seats 9 (very convenient for getting around the island), and a small boat that seats four. Kayaks are also available. We loved the entire experience.

Best Vacation Ever
Choosing Freeport and not knowing quite what to expect following hurricane Dorian 2 years ago and the Covid lockdown was a real concern. But I can tell you without a doubt Freeport seemed almost totally back to normal. Our stay at this property was absolutely splendid. Bob and Carol, the hosts, made our trip exceed our expectations as they were so very helpful in many ways, especially in deciding on places to visit and dine out. The home is beautiful and was perfect in every way meeting our needs. You will love it!

Family Getaway
We took all of our Teen to Twenties children and their friends for a Bahamas getaway. The house was wonderful and plenty roomy for 10 of us. It’s in a quiet neighborhood with great boat access. A skiff and kayaks are available for use if you don’t have your own boat. The owners and their son were very responsive to our needs and questions. Their proximity (on a boat next door) was great for us as they even helped us fix our boat. They were not intrusive at all and it seemed that we only saw them when we needed them. Bob, Carol and Richard are great hosts. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Bob and Carol were great hosts to us. We were a party of 9, including 2 little ones and they picked us up from the airport and drove us back at the end. We had everything we could possibly need in this luxury villa. The pool was amazing. The views were breathtaking and the beach was a short 3 min boat ride. Once there it's like your own personal beach!! If you're looking to get away, find peace, host ur party in a very large and homey villa, then this is a must! Would love to go back and stay again!!

Amazing
This place was the perfect spot for us to land for a week in the Bahamas. The owners lived on a boat outside the property in the cannel and were very responsive to all our messages and were great people to visit with. They have tons of island knowledge having lived there for quite a while. The house was perfect, two masters, with an additional 1 1/2 baths, perfect bunk room for kids and super comfortable. Two seating areas inside and a covered porch by the pool meant everyone had space to spread out. There was even an office for the little bit of work that needed to be done while we were there. I cannot recommend this place enough, we will be back at some point for sure and I can't imagine being anywhere else.

House was nice
The owner was very nice, the house was nice but the location on this particular Bahama island, without your own boat, is not ideal. There's just not much to do with children. The restaurants are very much on 'island time' and we would show up at noon to feed hungry children and no staff would have arrived yet. One item about the house we wish was listed in the listing is that the owner's middle-aged son is living on his boat at the dock of the house. We felt this should have been disclosed on the listing as we have children and found this to be a bit odd that he was basically out in the backyard the whole time and would pop up out of nowhere in the backyard. Just wish we knew this up front and would likely have picked a different property.

Delightful Property Owner
The owners are very communicative and strive to ensure your satisfaction. In fact, they met us at the dock upon arrival and helped us tie up the boat and hung out long enough to ensure we had everything we need. The property is well kept and has everything you'd need from a VRBO house. My only suggestion for the owner is to create one additional convenience for larger vessels. The floating dock onsite is great. However, it may be advantageous to add a anchor ball 65'-70' from the shore so large vessels can tie a line to the ball in lieu of having to set an anchor daily. On my trip, I had a crew that was against setting an anchor. That first night we had a nasty storm and I was glad we set the anchor. If I plan to bring my family back I'd like this convenience to ensure securing the boat nightly does not become overly laborious at the end of a long day. Thank you!

A Wonderful Week
As a group of five adults and two teens, we could not have found a better home for our first trip to the Bahamas. Each morning began by the pool overlooking the canal and each evening ended either in the pool or on a lounge chair stargazing or both. The neighborhood is very quiet and calm, but is close enough to many services and attractions: the grocery store is less than ten minutes away by car; Tiano Beach is a bit over ten; Banana Bay is a bit over fifteen, and Paradise Cover is about thirty. As a former British colony, driving is on the left and the wheel is on the right. For someone used to the opposite, it was a blast! The home owners were not only beyond helpful with suggestions and advice, they are very enjoyable people. Each question or concern was handled with speed and ease. This also holds true for many of the Bahamian people we met. Even complete strangers went out of the way to help us during the Goombay festival. I truly can't wait to return to Freeport and this home.

Great Location and amenities (car and small boat)
We had a party of 8 so we used 4 bedrooms during our stay. There were pros and cons but the pros definitely out weighed the cons. Pros: The house is beautiful and spacious and the location is great. The proximity to the beach is great, especially if you use the little boat to go to the beach via the canal. Having access to a vehicle that would hold 8 passengers was a game changer and we were able to use it to travel out for dinner and/or shopping each day. Great communication from host who also helped with arranging pickup from the airport. Overall, I would return to this VRBO. Cons: We were not aware that the air conditioner would not be allowed below 74 degrees. While not a big deal for some, it was a big deal for us as many of us get hot. It was an additional $25 per day to get it lowered to 72 degrees and $50 a day to get it lowered to 70 degrees. We paid the extra $50 a day. The master suite off of the kitchen still was hot at night; we think that room is just normally the hottest room in the house. Also, the 2 queen sized bedrooms both reported that their beds made quite a lot of noise when they moved on them so it would wake them at night frequently. I sat on one of them and it was so loud. I would not have been able to get a good night sleep on a bed that noisy. The last con is that it was a bit weird having the hosts staying on site as they stay in a boat docked behind the house. We did feel a bit like we were being watched over, especially when we were outside.

Amazing House and Very Accommodating Hosts!
Bob and Carol greeted us upon our arrival at their perfectly appointed house. They reviewed their house rules and showed us around the property, which was beautiful. They offered guidance and suggestions for our time on the island and were always only a few steps away if we needed anything. The house was very clean with all the amenities of home. There was even spices and staples available for our use. It couldn't have been more easy to settle in. During our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the use of the pool, the kayak and paddle board, and the boat. We enjoyed exploring the canals and beaching the boat on the nearby shores of Manta Ray Bay. We were able to see so much marine life by simply sitting on the docks! There was a family of seahorses and many other tropical fish a few steps away. We fed the fish daily our leftover scraps and enjoyed watching them all eat. Our kids spent hours in the pool swimming and playing games. We also cast a few lines to try our luck with fishing with fishing poles that were supplied. We grilled out on the patio grill and relaxed on the covered patio daily. Mornings were splendid as the sun came up and we sipped coffee outside before it got too hot. The outside of the house was beautifully landscaped with a variety of beautiful tropical plants. We especially enjoyed the night jasmine.....the smell was incredible. Other activities we enjoyed on the island included the Lucayan Marketplace, which we traveled to by public transport, which was inexpensive. We spent one day at the annual coconut festival on the east end of the island. It was awesome to live like the locals for a day, enjoying the beaches, local food and drinks. We also explored the Lucayan National Park and the mangrove trails were beautiful. The highlight of our excursions was our snorkeling trip to Paradise Cove. The reef was so clear and beautiful and full of aquatic wonders including sea turtles, baracuda and other tropical fish. Bob, Carol and Richard hosted us for an evening aboard their boat and we enjoyed getting to know them. Truly wonderful people and very gracious hosts. We look forward to a return vacation.
