Harbor Villa is located on Lochabar Beach at Clarence Town Harbor, Long Island, Bahamas within sight of the Flying Fish Marina in a quiet tropical setting overlooking an exceptionally beautiful mile long white powder beach. We are located 13 miles south of Deadmans Cay Airport(LGI).
This new house is built at an elevation of 40 feet above sea level with ocean views from every room. The deck, balcony, covered porch, and all rooms are above the tree tops to catch the breezes and for fabulous views of Clarence Town Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Three cays (small islands) situated between our beach and the Atlantic Ocean stop large waves and provide us with a gentle sloping, sandy beach free of currents and undertows. The calm, crystal clear water and long beach make this a classic. Lochabar "Blue Hole" is a short walk away.
Our house features three full-size bedrooms, each with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, queen-size beds, and private bathrooms. Large covered and screened entrance porch with skylights, ceiling fan, table, and chairs is perfect for outdoor dining or relaxing in the shade. Great for the infrequent rainy days! Large L-shaped deck facing the ocean, extending out 28 feet at tree level, is ideal for sunbathing. In the evening watch the full moon rise above the ocean. On the darkest night, lay on the deck and look up to see millions of stars as you have never seen them before.
Clarence Town, the capital of Long Island and the principle harbor on the east coast of Long Island, is one of the prettiest settlements in the Bahamas and has two twin-spired churches with a most interesting history as they were both designed and built by the late Father Jerome, an architect and religious figure known throughout the Bahamas. You can visit both churches and it is possible to climb the narrow passage up into the towers of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church for a spectacular view of Clarence Town, the harbor and dock, Atlantic Ocean, and the Lochabar Beach area and cays.
A bicycle ride to the dock and through the friendly community is time well spent. We have three adult bikes and two children's bikes for this outing or you can kayak into town with our two one-person kayaks or the one two-person kayak. Life jackets are provided and required for kayak use. Kayak to the marina and have lunch at the "Outer Edge Grill Restaurant". Long Island is for adventurous type people who love remote places or who just want to relax and read. The possibilities are endless - you will need more time.
