An Absolutely Wonderful Stay!
Passionate Pelican is a small beautiful cottage w/ an INCREDIBLE view of the blue water at low tide! Owner Peter was helpful in providing tips for area by email & Violet was nice & accommodating giving the keys. Ample room for couple but note there are only 3 rms: combo living room/kitchen, bathroom, & air-conditioned bedroom. Another bathroom on lower level w/outside entrance. We stayed early Sept - very hot, but nice cool breeze on the balcony, so heat wasn't a problem indoors. Seems in Sept, the bugs aren't bad as I expected. I don't think they like breeze so had NO problem w/biting bugs. Amazing stargazing on balcony, we saw the huge Starlink satellite which freaked us out a little until I looked it up & knew what it was! Beach area in front of cottage seemed safe at low tide, went WAY out & could stand for most of it. Crystal clear water, warm as bath water! We snorkeled to left of the property where it's rockier & by Lochabar blue hole (scary looking!), saw some cool fish in those areas. Kayak worked well low tide, not so well high tide - big change in the water. Glad we didn't try to make it to the islands in the distance! Sept is offseason, saw very few people. Some restaurants close. Clarence Town was ghost town. Beautiful quiet relaxing vacation in paradise! Recommend boat tour (we used Big V Adventures) & Hamilton's Cave. Don't rely on BahamasAir to keep your flight time - we had to stay an extra night in Nassau due to changes. Locals said to take a ferry instead.
