Hey Brian,
Your place is just the greatest! We've now stayed in it at least 4 or 5 times and always find it nice, clean, comfortable and inviting!
We LOVE the location with the great views of the ocean and beach and the fantastic deck! Perfect ocean breezes! The beach is absolutely beautiful, not many people, so extremely enjoyable!
It's a real plus that the kitchen has lots of useful tools as we do a lot
of our own cooking. We also love the internet access!! What else can I say? We've stayed in several
other places and like yours the best by far!

We've stayed at Brian's Place several times now, and every time it's time to leave, we begin to think, immediately, about when we can possibly return. We just love this place so much it's hard to describe. A beautiful beach is literally steps from the studio, some great golf couses are just minutes away by car or taxi, the best dive op on the island (Grand Bahama Scuba/ Fred & Melinda) is very close by, and the Lucaya Market Place (with its multitude of shops and restaurants) is within walking distance. The studio apartment itself is much more than comfortable and commodious, and the terrace space and views are simply spectacular. If Brian (the owner) was not such a great guy to deal with, I wouldn't even write all these glowing comments, for fear that his hidden paradise would never be available to us. And for a Yankee fan to say nice things about a Red Sox fan means that he (and his extraordinary place) must be very special indeed. We can't wait to get back there! As always, Brian, thank you! (You lucky S.O.B!)

Thanks Brian- Great time- great value! We stayed from June 8 June 15th and had a relaxing vacation- the beaches were perfect! The food at Lucaya was better than I'd remembered- be sure to visit Shenanigan's for the awesome potato soup and Zorba's for the pastichio!
Blackbeard's is still not up-and-running, which would have been great, but all else makes for a future return visit!
Thanks again! |

| Thanks Brian! We had a great time, the location is great - walking distance from where all the action takes place but secluded enough to allow for some privacy. I would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to several coworkers. |

| 5/8-14,2007 - Brian's condo was a wonderful (and economical!) way to spend a relaxing vacation in the Bahamas. This area is more laid back and slower paced than Nassau. The condo is well equipped and the terrace provides a fantastic view of the beach and pool. The poolside bar (BlackBeards) was closed due to a dispute with the new mgmt, so you will need to have breakfast/lunch foods. We suggest packing snacks and foods like crackers, EZMac, KoolAid and cereal. The food here is very limited and twice the price in the US. Also, BlackBeards rented the beach chairs, so none were available. It'd be good to pack a "noodle" (they were $20 here!) or find a few chairs to keep at the condo. If you are looking for an easy, laid back vacation, this is the perfect place for you. The resorts at Port Lucaya are fancy & nice, but Brian's place had much more to offer for much less $$. We met a few ladies that have been coming to Coral Beach for over 15 years and still love it. I can see why! We hope to come back again very soon. |

Blackbeards is going through internal changes and it appears the present leaseholder has walked away from the business. Hopefully the bar will be remodeled and open for business soon!!!

| 3/21-3/28 07 The views from the terrace are truly amazing! Location to Port Lucaya is great, enjoyed happy hour every day at Blackbeards. Should we come back to the Grand Bahama Island again, we wouldn't hesitate staying here. Sorry we didn't get to meet you, Brian. Several people at the complex told us you are a great guy! Thanks again for sharing your place with us. |

| We just returned from Brian's place and we must say we felt much more like honored houseguests than renters. The place is so well equipped. Best place at Coral Beach, your search stops now! Book Brians if you can! |

Just returned from a week at Brian's place at Coral Beach. October is a great time to be in the Bahamas, and Coral Beach is the perfect location. Brian's condo was very nice - big and comfortable and having all the conveniences. It has a perfect view and the terrace is great. It's a great value.

| We stayed at Brian's place last October, not long after the storms. Well, what a wonderful location! The terrace is something else, with the views, the dawn to dusk sun, and the sea so near. Love to return one day. The condo itself has been well equipped by Brian, who we have since had the pleasure of meeting (at the bar!) on a subsequent visit to CB. |

| Another wonderful two weeks at "Brians place" /Coral Beach in beautiful Bahamas. We really enjoyed the new stove, microwave, counter space and other improvements in the kitchen. Our favorite spot is the wonderful deck where we start our day with coffee and the most beautiful sunrises you have ever seen and end it with a nightcap while listening to the waves hitting the beach. We enjoy walks on the beach--quiet ones leading down to the jetty and fun ones on our way to the resort and Port Lucaya. All the people are very friendly, restaurants are good, casino is beautiful, beaches and water are the best, -these are the reasons that we have called this "our home away from home" for nine years! |

| Another perfect two weeks at Coral Beach --in Brian's Place. We enjoyed the new improvements. Much more room/counter space in the kitchen and the new pic's and bedding were a nice touch. Since we spend most of our time on the deck, from early morning sunrises to our nightcap listening to the surf, we really appreciated the new carpet on the deck and the very comfortable hamock! We'll be getting in touch with you soon--to make plans for 2006. |

| The place is wonderful! I just pray and hope that it is still there after Hurricane Frances. Everything you see in the pictures is what you get at the condo, so do not even hesitate to book it. The condo is right on the beach and the view from the terrace is amazing. It's also very convenient to the marketplace for eating, shopping, and gambling. To me, it was more of a 20-25 minute walk, but well worth it! Also easy to catch a bus or a taxi. Thanks for everything Brian! |

Clean-up from Hurricane Frances is progressing and Coral Beach should be up and running by mid-late October.

| We stayed 7 days in Brian's condo. It was the best vacation that we ever had. The view from the terrace is amazing. The beach is very laid back with just a few people. The locals were extremely nice and helped out any way they could. If you want a vacation where you can relax and leave your worries behind, This is the place to stay!! |

| We had a fantastic time - Thank you, Brian! We swam every day in the ocean and the pool. The garden and grounds were lovely and very nicely kept up. The condo was perfect, with spectacular views from the terrace. We can't wait to go back again! Marianne and Larry |

| Thanks for sharing your place Brian! We stayed for a week in late February and had a great time. The weather was sunny and 80 degrees with a 10 minute shower here and there. The condo is well maintained and the terrace is spectacular! The condo is located about a 15 minute walk along the beach from the resorts and Port Lucaya Marketplace. Great location as you have a beach in front of the condo complex that was fairly quiet or the opportunity to experience all that is going on at the resorts. I would recommend Brian's condo to anyone looking for a get-a-way! |

| I went in early January and had the most amazing time. The view from the condo is spectacular. I woke up early every morning and laid in bed and watched the beautiful sunrise over the water. The beach is beautiful, the people are friendly and inviting. The food is out of this world, it's strange, I had to go to a carribean Island to have the best Italian food I've ever had, Giovanni's (try it) The unit is very well kept and very convenient to the center of all activity on the Island, you can walk along the beach to get there or take a cab (I reccomend the walk). All in all I must say I had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back again. Thanks Brian. |

| We stayed for 3 weeks during the holidays and it was the best vacation we ever had. I completely concur with the other guest that the terrace view was amazing. We had breakfast overlooking the ocean every day. The resorts are a 30 minute walk on the beach. Coral Beach in front of the condo is the best since there are not to many people. The Bus Stop is a block away and ony one dollar. I would recommend Brian's place to anyone interested in living in paradise for a couple of weeks! |

| We loved the condo! We ate breakfast every morning on the terrace enjoying the amazing view. We slept at night with the sliders open listening to the sound of the ocean. We didn't want to leave! Thanks, Brian for sharing it with us. |

| What an amazing place! We stayed for a week and loved every minute of it. We loved the beach (not a rock on it!) and the pool. We made frequent visits to the beachside pool, Blackbeards and even used the gym. I would absolutely recommend others to stay here. The view from the terrace is unbelievable and you get all the comforts of home plus the use of the amenities at the resorts that are a short walk up the beach! I'm definitely coming back!! |
