A Stone's Throw Away Review
Featuring seaside comfort in fashionable surroundings, this "gourmet bed-and-breakfast"—as the French and Belgian owners describe it—is a luxurious hideaway. The three-story colonial-style inn with wraparound verandas is perched on a limestone cliff overlooking the beach, 13 mi west of Nassau. The public rooms and guest rooms have the character of a century-old manor house with pickled-wood ceilings, pine plank floors, Oriental rugs, leather plantation chairs, mahogany antiques, and a dining room that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You can read on the porch, walk to the beach, or relax by a small pool and waterfall.
