Great place!

Overall a perfect vacation for those wanting to get away. We deliberately booked here to get away from the tourist stress in Nassau. Located on the very quiet, sheltered Caribbean side of Long Island and a 10 minute drive from Clarence Town, the Galloway Beach House is located on a secluded gravel road. Swimming in the beautiful warm turquois waters with a powder sugar soft sand beach felt like swimming in your own giant private pool, and when you looked out the patio door you see your beach with the turquois waters and you could hear the ocean. Truly a dream location! The house had good WIFI and TV with access to Disney+, Netflix, Amazon TV, and Youtube. House had air conditioning and fans in all bedrooms plus kitchen/dining area and was very comfortable. Outdoor shower to rinse sand off before coming inside and plenty of bath and beach towels available with washing machine and a good equipped kitchen with coffee maker, microwave, toaster, fridge and gas stove/oven. Also a gas grill outside. Plenty of nice outside patio furniture. Plenty of comfortable bedding and nice beds. The house is in a VERY quiet location and we rarely encountered other people on our road. The only "negative" thing I can say is that because it is so remotely located and quiet, it is a bumpy 10 minute drive to where we can drop off the full garbage bags, and about 20-25 minutes to the next "supermarket" (mom and pop store) to buy groceries. The shelves only got restocked once a week on Thursday because the boat with supplies comes in on Wednesdays (usually). Although Erika's bakery in Clarence Town does have some limited supplies and delicious Banana nut bread 10 minutes away. We highly recommend this place to anyone, and for those with kids we can say the beach had very calm waters and goes in at least 20 meters before it went over their heads, plus in two weeks we never noticed a current. We spent hours in the water relaxing while the kids snorkled and played in the soft sand.

Our stay at Galloway House was perfect. The house is comfortable and very well maintained. The location is perfect! The beach is amazing, white power sand, crystal clear every shade of blue you could imagine Caribbean Sea. Close to Clarence Town for a quick visit to the bakery, marina for lunch, wandering through the beautiful churches and amazing scenery. This island is perfect for a true getaway type of stay that you will never forget and long to return. Thank you Liz and Gary and owner Patty for such a great place to stay.

We loved our stay at Patty’s house on Galloway Beach. The beach and water is unreal - it blew my mind every time we saw it. The water was calm enough for my 2 year old and the beach was immaculate. Just a quick walk and you are at the cut which provides hours of exploration. The house was well stocked with supplies, and has plenty of room for a family. The property is large and very private. Honestly, it’s hard to believe locations like this exist. Thank you for allowing us to experience Long Island at your home, Patty! We will never forget it.

Our family of 6 thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Galloway Beach. The house worked well and had plenty of space. It had everything we needed for our stay. The beach is amazing. Patty and the property managers were very responsive and answered all questions quickly. My kids were very sad to leave!

If you want peace and quiet and no tan lines 😉 rent this property. We spent a lot of time at the gazebo by the beach and the outside patio. The sand was like flour. Although the house is older it’s very clean and roomy, but then again there was only two of us. The kitchen is very well stocked and we had no issues with the wifi. There is a small TV but we never turned it on. The main bathroom with shower was big, bright and water pressure fine. You have to understand the water comes from a cistern. We bought a 5 gallon bottle of water for drinking. Groceries stores and liquor (expensive but hey your on vacation) were within 20 minutes. Please note they close at 10am on Sundays. The road to the house is rough, but the view, beach and quietness was well worth it. This time around we rented a SUV from KCR Rentals since we flew with Stella Maris Air. It was very windy the 9 days we were there so we didn’t have issues with mosquitoes and no see ums at night, except the last night the wind died and they all came out. Bring bug spray. We’ve been to several Bahamas islands and bugs are the norm. We’re spoiled with a memory foam mattress which the beds at the house are inner spring. We made it work though. I love the brightness of the bedroom with the bunk beds. I would suggest doing the same to the front bedroom. We travelled light this time and did do one small load of laundry and hung on the outside line. There are tons of games, blankets, towels, sheets, etc in the closets. They have two 3 person kayaks that we didn’t take out. We did see 3 sharks and other sea life while walking the beach but didn’t catch any bonefish due to the weather conditions. But the island has great fishing overall. Gary and Liz are the caretakers and also own the best tiki bar on the island. The conch salad is outstanding! The Fly Fish Marina restaurant and On The Go have great food as well. The LI people are super nice! Everyone waves! We stayed in Whymms on another trip but fell in love with Clarencetown. The Deadman’s Clinic did our return COVID testing Sunday with no issues. Patti the Premier Host was very responsive to questions and accommodating when our flight changed and we had to decrease our time. Everything in her description of the house is spot on! It’s been a week since we’ve been back and we miss the Galloway Beach house! We would definitely rent this house again! Thank you Patti for for making our 31st Anniversary the best one yet!

The house was amazing. Had some horrible flights and delays in and off the island, but once we were at the house that was easy to forget about. Would definitely come back!

This is our second time staying at Galloway Beach House and it won't be our last. We have been to over 30 islands in the Caribbean, at least half in The Bahamas, and this is the most beautiful and pristine beach and beautiful private location that we have visited. The house is ideally situated on 5 acres with the utmost privacy. The patio is very large with lounge seating (coffee in the morning) and space for enjoying dinner while viewing the sunset. You may not see other people while you are on the beach. The stretch of beach is perfect pure powder white and the water clear blue...most definitely the prettiest on Long Island in my opinion. (And yes we've seen Cape Santa Maria and also seen house after house after house.) We enjoyed floating in the "lazy river" next to the house. Every evening we took our cocktails to the gazebo to witness the stunning sunsets from the gazebo on the beach. The house while simple and relaxed is very well appointed, clean and extremely comfortable with plenty of space even for a large family. When we were there, there were two kayaks and many rafts to use. The water is extremely calm so that both kayaking and floating were effortless. If I HAD to make a critique, it would be to brighten up one of the rooms with white paint...but honestly it certainly doesn't detract from the amazing location, charming home, and the feeling of being comfortable and very safe. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family which afforded us the time, peace, and serenity to build special memories that we will fondly recall as "that time at Galloway..."

We travel the family islands regularly and this beach has to be at the top of the list for beautiful, secluded and pristine beaches in all of the Bahamas. The house is fantastic as are the owners and property managers. We loved wasting away the days under the cabana on the beach and in the pristine water that has to be seen because it can’t be accurately described. The sea life was abundant and it never got old. The house is very roomy and comfortable and well cared for with everything we needed for our family of 6. Long Island is a nice mix of seclusion yet groceries and restaurants are readily available and the people could not have been more hospitable. If you want entertainment, shopping and night life, go to Nassau. If you want a vacation with peace, tranquility and the finest people in the Bahamas, this is it.

If you forget something, you’ll probably find it in the house. Those who stayed there previously left things they didn’t use or want to take back with them. Felt very homey. :)
