We will have a shuttle bus running throughout your stay to get you around the island. Rental cars are available but can be a bit stressful, Driving on the left side of the road firstly, then avoiding sheep, wild pigs, goats, chickens, snakes, birds and people all can add to a stressful visit. If you still want the thrill of driving yourself, we can provide you with rental car agents.

Yes you do! Get working on it now, it could take months and we want to see your beautiful faces in March!
WinterHaven Inn would be your best bet for a vacation stay. Welcome dinner and reception will be on the property and they have a lovely restaurant and pool. Just down the dirt road (easy 2 min. walk) is a lovely bar and restaurant.
American money is excepted all over the island (you will get Bahamian money back though). I believe there is one ATM on the island, it is far away and rarely works. All major credit cards are excepted almost everywhere. Note: there is not a bank on the island
There is a medical center on the island that can handle most minor issues. There is also an island doctor that is in residence several days during the week.
