Private Home on Amazing Beach! 22 Steps to Beach!

CRESCENT BLUE
The beautiful white sand beach is less than 25 steps from our peaceful home located on
Welk Cay just north east of Salt Pond, Long Island. The 4-bedroom home is situated in a
quiet area with a gorgeous beach cove right on the Atlantic Ocean. The crescent shaped cove protects the beach allowing for an oasis of beach days, sand castles and swimming.

INSIDE (Approx 2600 sq ft):
The house has a walk around deck to an incredible huge lanai with comfortable patio
furniture, a porch and pergola all overseeing the beach cove and Atlantic Ocean only 22
steps to the beach.

You will enjoy a large master bedroom, comfortable king size bed with a memory foam mattress, and a fabulous Atlantic Ocean view. The Master bedroom has its own air conditioner to provide the perfect climate. The beautiful luxury en-suite bathroom has a garden tub, a walk in shower, a modern toilet and double sinks with heated mirrors.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed with a memory foam mattress and another
great Atlantic Ocean view with an en-suite bathroom. This bathroom has a walk in shower, a modern toilet and a single sink along with a heated mirror. This bedroom also has its own air conditioner for the perfect climate choice.

The third bedroom has a queen size bed and faces the front of the home for a more peaceful day when activities are going strong on the back deck and beach. This bedroom has a queen bed with a memory foam mattress. It has an en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower, modern toilet and a single sink along with a heated mirror. This bedroom also has its own air conditioner for your personal comfort.

The fourth bedroom has twin beds and are made to be placed together for an additional king bed if desired. The beds both have memory foam mattresses. The en-suite bath includes a walk in shower, a modern toilet, and a single sink with a heated mirror. The twin bedroom also has its own air conditioner for your comfort.

KITCHEN and BEYOND
The minimalist kitchen is well-appointed and has everything needed to prepare everyday
or holiday meals. The pantry stores a blender, coffee grinder, French press, waffle maker, margarita maker, rice cooker and lots of baking essentials. There are a number of spices available. The quartz prep/bar separates the kitchen work and open concept dining and great room area. From the kitchen bar you can look beyond the elegant 8 place dining table and on to the living area with a glass wall of sliding doors that provides a stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean rolling on to the outer banks of the protected cove. The glass sliding doors lead to the family sized lanai and beach only 22 steps away. A patio nook just outside the sliding doors provides shade for an opportunity to relax at happy hour or just get out of the sun for a few moments! The pergola on the very north east edge of the lanai has an 8 place setting table with lights for alfresco dining at any time. An outdoor Bluetooth speaker allows your music to set the mood.

LAUNDRY AND MORE
You can quickly get your laundry done with the smart stacking L/G Wash tower. We provide detergent for your convenience.
The hall closet offers beach chairs, game boards, an umbrella, beach towels, and a few
beach toys for your convenience. There is also a beach cooler to take along on an
adventure day.

ENTERTAINMENT
The open concept living room comprises a comfy sectional couch with additional seating and a 55" TV which includes Roku, and a Fubo TV subscription. You can easily log onto your own entertainment media. A DVD player and a selection of Bluray movies are provided. Popular board games and decks of cards are in the closet for the young and old. Great games for hanging out and enjoying time with the family. Kayaks and floating mattresses are available in the garage.

WIFI
The Starlink wifi offers >100 MBPS connectivity. Excellent quality service if you need to stay in touch with home or the office while traveling.

SCHEDULING LOCAL ADVENTURES
Our house managers, Charles and Teresa Knowles can assist you in great adventures
during your time on Long Island. These include a Sea Wildlife Safari, Reef Fishing, Deep
Sea Fishing, a Cookout on a secluded cay, a trip to see the endangered iguanas or the
swimming pigs or a Land Tour of Long Island. These are all offered as separate
opportunities from your house rental.

Long Island offers tremendous fishing opportunities for both fly fishing and offshore fishing...inshore for bonefish and offshore for Wahoo, Snapper & many other species!

The 100+ pound Wahoo replica in the home was caught in 2022 right off the coast of Long Island!

CATERING
It’s great when the family cook can take a break from full time cooking while on vacation. Catering is available from one, two or three meals per day. Occasional meals are also available just request information from our property managers for details.

VIEWS
The Master Bedroom, Bedroom 2, the living room, the shaded porch, the entire lanai, and pergola all have beautiful views of the cove as well as the Atlantic Ocean beyond the reef. This is one of the single most important reasons not to pass up on this house. The
amazing beauty and peaceful calm!

enjoying a day on the beach at the house or after beaching explorations of Long Island.

Cresent Blue was excellent
Crescent Blue was the perfect place for our family during our visit to Long Island. The house is amazing with 4 bedrooms, each with a separate bathroom and A/C. The house is fully equipped with everything you will need. The view of the ocean and beach is breath taking and very private. The hosts were also very helpful and attentive. Would highly recommend!

Everything we wished for and more…
Our 4 teen and preteen kids immediately agreed that this was the best vacation home that we’ve ever stayed in! The house is beautiful, warm and inviting beach themed throughout. The layout is rare find with en suite bathrooms in each of the 4 large bedrooms. The best feature of all is the beautiful/mostly private beach, the backyard to this home! The sunrises are breathtaking. We enjoyed swimming, kayaking, snorkeling and also exploring farther down the beach. Teresa and Charles are amazing! They were so helpful with anything we needed. We really enjoyed a beautiful family dinner they prepared for us using some fresh catches we got locally on a fishing trip. We are definitely coming back!

Total relaxation!
Osprey nest is paradise. The minute we stepped into the house and saw the waves crashing on the beach in front of us we were hooked. The villa is lovely, with 4 large bedrooms off a central living and dining area. The huge deck and outdoor dining is great for just hanging and taking in the laid back vibes of this undeveloped island. The location in the middle of the island is perfect for exploring down north and up south. Favorite beaches were Gordon’s to the south and Cape a Santa Maria to the north. People here are so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend going to the blue hole and Columbus point. Also loved. Maxs bar and grille and Chez Pierre. Just remember to reserve and order your food a day ahead or your reservation will be cancelled. Also sous side in salt pond is a great place for a rum punch and watching the sun go down. Be prepared to fully let go and relax. You will wish you lived here. Thank you Chuck and Theresa for making our week one we will never forget!

Beautiful Location - Wonderful Caretakers!
This property is beautiful, spacious and a wonderful location on a secluded beach. The house has all of the amenities you need including beach chairs, fully equipped kitchen with all the appliances you need and even shampoo, conditioner and soap in each of the bathrooms. The caretakers are helpful, friendly, kind and made the stay wonderful. The only two items we wished we had known was (1) the location is pretty remote, so it is best to rent an SUV and (2) the beach, while the most sheltered in the area, can still be a bit rough with the winds. It would have been best to bring some child sized life jackets for the kids. The surf was fine for the adults.

This is a beautiful location with a great house. The cove where it is located is a perfect beach on the Atlantic side with lots of sand and even good snorkeling. Great breeze with no bug problems at all. Located only 5 miles to all the stores you need and being mid-island, it was a good launch point for North or South exploring. Everything worked as it should and stocked very well. We had no issues of any kind. The local property managers were very responsive and helpful.

Our traveling group of six friends loved our stay at the Osprey Nest and recommend it to others!!
We have stayed in beautiful properties on other islands in the Bahamas, but this is our favorite!! The home was so comfortable and the location was beyond our expectations. We could enjoy the private cove/beach to snorkel, swim, and catch fish. Able to enjoy long walks on beautiful beaches accessible from the house. Stayed at our property often because we enjoyed it. Charles and Theresa, the caretakers were very helpful and we enjoyed time with them and their wonderful family. Long Island had many beautiful sights and beaches. We plan to return!!
