Comfortable
During our 3 week stay we never heard from our host Jonathan. Barbara, the lady in the attached unit next door makes this place run!
From picking us up & dropping us off at the airport, she was a pleasure to deal with. She ensured there was always a replacement jug of purified water for replacement when ours ran out, and provided a cell phone with GPS to help us navigate the island.
When our rental vehicle had a flat tire, she had it repaired in 2 hours. All minor issues with our unit were handled quickly and professionally.
The unit is a no frills accommodation and was clean and comfortable. It's listed as a 3 bedroom, but there are only 2. The 3rd bed is a pullout couch in the living room/dining room area.
Other than that, all the amenities were as per the listing.

Great Affordable Property
We enjoyed our stay. The unit was exactly as advertised. It was safe and clean. The location is great too, but you will definitely need a vehicle! Rent from Barbara. Affordable rental and cheaper than taxis. The internet is just okay. You will need to be in the front room to get the best service. . We would stay here again when we come back to the Bahamas

Great!!!
This is a no frills property. However, Barbara, our host was phenomenal. She went over and above to make sure we were comfortable and provided us with a vehicle and a driver at a reasonable fee. Thanks Barbara and Jason for making out time in the Bahamas memorable. We will def come again.

Staying at Barbara's property is great for anyone looking to spend time in "the real" Nassau. The neighborhood is quiet yet situated close to everything that you could want or need. Barbara is wonderful. She's right there if you need anything. I highly recommend staying here.

The property was exactly as pictured. Great place place to stay if you really want to experience island life. This location leaves you about 15 to 30 minutes from most locations you want to visit. Supermarket is a stones throw away and barbara was a great host.

Fabulous
Place was very clean and well maintained. Plenty of space. Neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely be staying again.
Barbara was so friendly and helpful! We felt safe at night ...double locked doors and twenty four hour cameras... Two single women alone And I got to learn how to drive on the left side of the road and follow the traffic l o l
My family and I had an amazing experience staying at the Bougainvillea Inn. It offered all of the comforts of home and Barbara is warm and welcoming. This was our first time staying here but it won't be our last, we'll be back!
Big thank you to Barbara (our host) she was super nice. Thanks for everything! Our family had a great time. Thanks for car it worked out so well. Love the Dove family #TeamDove

Great stay
Barbara is a wonderful host. The property is exactly as described. It's great for a family of 3 or more. Especially with 2 bathrooms. The property is centrally located in the heart of Nassau. If you're looking to get out and experience Nassau and not just stay in your resort, this is a great place to do it.
I loved this property; it was very clean and comfortable. Barbara was awesome anything we needed she made it available. I enjoyed coming home to this house because it was cozy, and I was able to really relax. I also liked the fact that she had a car available to rent. If you rent the car, she picks you up from the airport and takes you back when you fly out.

Villa
We stayed for a month and our host was great. The area was quiet and easy to get to all the places we needed to go. The villa was clean and you are provided with plenty of supplies and linens and beach chairs/towels! It is also bug free!!! We will definitely stay here again. I believe she has a car to rent as well if needed. We loved our stay!!

The Best of the Best
This was my first outing with my family and we wanted to feel comfortable. I would have to say the home was more comfortable than I expected it to be. It was well cleaned and everything we needed was there for us with no hassle, as well as a vehicle that the owner let us use with no problems. I highly recommend this house for anyone who is trying to rent it. If i ever go on a trip again, i will gladly book for this house.

Wonderful, clean and well stocked house that has everything you need for your stay.
My husband, myself and our 100 year old French friend stayed in Nassau at Jonathan's house for two weeks. It is super clean and well stocked with everything you need in the kitchen to enjoy your stay. There was also drinking water, TP, shampoo, soap and plenty of linens. This is not often the case when we rent a house. Barbara lives on the property and was very helpful and kind to us. We became very good friends. Jonathan offered us a car to rent, at a very reasonable price and we are really pleased that we rented it. The car rental even included Barbara picking us up from the airport and taking us back for our return flight. She let us use a cell phone for map navigation (we just purchased minutes for the data) and we easily visited every sight that we read about. There are books and information at the house about sights to see and we checked them out and planned our visits once we arrived. The area is very interesting and the house is central to many of the activities we enjoyed. Jonathan responds to questions very quickly through Home Away and he emailed me many suggestions of things to do for our two week visit. Stay at this lovely house. You will enjoy it as much as we did!
