Having taken over 30 trips to the Outer Islands of the Bahamas and several other less-traveled Caribbean islands I can honestly claim that this was our best trip yet. Bahama Dreamin was well constructed and wonderfully equipped. No expense was spared anywhere on site. Quality appliances, cookware, utensils and dinnerware. Comfortable beds, rattan sofas and lounge chairs. The bathroom/shower was great as well. TV(not used), AC and fans in each room. Screened-in full length porch with BBQ grill overlooking a fabulous ocean view. A vehicle comes with the package !
Lots of snorkeling and exploring to be had. Many good local bar/restaurants to experience (Max's, just up the road, was our favorite). Fishing from shore was good. These fish have never seen a hook ! Ate more than a few.
Quiet beaches on both sides of the island and notable landmarks to visit- Dean's (deepest) Blue Hole and Columbus Point(first landing) among them.
For those who like to cook for themselves there are several decently stocked groceries and liquor stores as well. Rhum is cheap.
For ourselves the greatest quality are the people of Long Island. Friendly locals who have not been "jaded" by an overwhelming tourist experience. Everyone gets along and are helpful to visitors. No casinos, cruise boats, traffic, crime, loud presumptuous visitors or fast food outlets. Island time at it's best.
The owners of Bahama Dreamin are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating at making your stay a good one. Upon your return home you'll be posting your own glowing review as well.
By the way the cracked conch, fritters and salad at Max's are the best I've ever had anywhere. If you go tell "Garo and Candacious" that the guy with the beard says hello.

PS We will pass along to Max's your glowing review also.
1 review Bahama Dreamin was the most amazing place to stay on Long Island!! The views are unbelievable from the villas and Robin is a perfect host. We stayed on the top floor of the blue building and the villa has everything that you need for your vacation. It was really great to have a vehicle to come with the villa as having a vehicle to get around is a must. There is so much to explore on Long Island and Robin was very helpful in giving us ideas on where to go. I can hardly wait to come back next year!!

I tasked my husband with picking the spot for our 15th wedding anniversary long weekend getaway, and after many other options, we decided on Bahama Dreamin'. I don't know if I can say enough great things about it, honestly.
Robin and Mike were the perfect hosts! Everything from meeting us at the airport to helping us find the hidden gems around Long Island, to telling us the best places to look for beach glass in their protected cove was done.
We stayed in the Pink Conch upstairs apartment and it was perfect; spacious living/dining/kitchen, a fantastically comfortable bed and a nice large bathroom. All topped off with a screened in Lanai with a million dollar view of the lagoon and some of the brightest stars you'll ever see at night.
This was the perfect weekend vacation for us (though I definitely want to come back for a week next time); stunning beaches, fun adventures, lovely people, beautiful accommodations, a Jeep to cruise around in and as much peace and quiet as you could possibly need. This was the best cure for high blood pressure ever!

Bahama Dreamin' is as wonderful place to stay. Robin and Mike are so accommodating and knowledgeable and just great people to know. Even before we got there they were so helpful. When our luggage didn't arrive they went back to the airport (very close by, so convenient) and retrieved it for us. They connected us with so many friendly people on the island, knew the great places to eat, drink and be merry. They advised us on many activities such as snorkeling locations, great boat ride to isolated areas.
The place we stayed was so great. Wonderful view of our "front yard'--the ocean. Everything you'd need kitchen, etc. Beautiful tiki hut on the way to our own private beach.
They even lent us a car for our stay.
I cannot praise them enough. I feel like I made some great friends in the process of staying in a little bit of heaven.

I've stayed on Long Island several times and Bahama Dreamin is one of the best rental homes we have booked. Mike and Robin have thought of everything. The jeep they provide with the rental is perfect for exploring the island. If you can think of anything they haven't they are eager to add it to the rental. The view and snorkeling are among the best on the Island. Absolutely beautiful. If you are considering a visit to long island you can't go wrong with Bahama Dreamin. This place is a bargain!!!

From the second I was picked up at the airport in Deadman's Cay and taken to my Villa I was impressed. My villa even included a loaner car to make my stay effortless . The view right outside my villa was one of the best on the island with a nice breeze most of the time. The location is perfect and just 10 minutes from the airport.
I stayed in the Blue Lagoon Villa and it was one of the nicest and newest place I have ever stayed. Looking forward to coming back in October.
