abaco moonrise for romance
property description: Moonrise for Romance is the perfect sanctuary for those seeking quiet and solitude, privacy and peace in the tropics. This unique cottage was developed by Marlee, an artist, environmentalist and naturalist and reflects the spirit of native and natural beauty on a six acre private sea to sea paradise. Indulge yourself in the crystal clear turquoise water and soft sand of your own private beach. Marvel at the infinity of a star washed sky at this ideal clandestine getaway vacation home. There is no generator or noisy air-conditioners, all solar powered for ultimate quiet comfort, collected rainwater for hot showers, but if you insist you can have wireless access for your laptop. Totally self contained, very green and lush. Greeted daily by native birds, curly tailed lizards and reef fish if you happen to fall off the dock!
The Abacos in the Bahamas is a little known treasure. Within 200 miles of Miami or a 60 minute flight you will be greeted by friendly people, native seafood, local fruits and veggies, culture is English speaking and very quiet, family oriented. Private Western Beach and Eastern Dock allows you to exhale and roam 6 sea to sea acres. Stargaze from gently swaying hammocks, snorkel right off the dock for resident sea life.
Explore the nearby islands for a cultural taste of island village life, dining and dancing in the evenings, daytime diving, deep sea fishing, surfing, beach combing, shopping, art galleries, or boating and pub hopping from one island beach bar to another. Grill your fresh daily catch on the deck watching the moon rise over the sparkling Sea of Abaco. From former guests:
location: A ten-minute boat ride from the picturesque settlement of Hope Town or the airport at Marsh Harbour, Moonrise is accessible yet charmingly remote. Island breezes keep things cool and comfortable throughout the year. The Abacos offer the world's finest diving, fishing and sailing. Enjoy our Bahamian hospitality and the special magic of the islands that just can't be put into words. Merely 30 minutes from the airport to the dock with flights from Ft. Lauderdale or Miami to Marsh Harbour at only 1 hour only (flights from Nassau 35 minutes) It really is easy!!
other details: Moonrise has hosted small weddings on the beach with our local minister, Mr. Vernon Malone. The cottage is an ideal honeymoon getaway, no disturbing telephones, tv's, a huge library with conscious living titles, a guitar, a telescope for stargazing and the calming rhythm of waves meeting the shoreline and the whisper of winds through the palms. As an artist, the sea called me to produce symbols of a maritime history. Silver Moon Seaglass jewellery is all
Abaco, seawashed antiqued glass pieces from shipwrecks, Loyalist tableware and Atlantic buoys set into fine and sterling silver represent a unique vanishing gem. For water sports enthusiasts you come under the umbrella of a paradise of reef colours and sea life, sailing is optimal with protected water and you can surf, swim, windsurf and even kite surf! Several professional dive companies offer scuba instruction, there are bonefish guides and bird watching guides for activity seekers.
pricing: Moonrise comfortably accommodates up to four free and gentle spirits at reasonable rates. Several flights leave daily from Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and Palm Beach, Florida to Marsh Harbour, Abaco. Boat rentals and water taxi service are readily available. 2009 summer rates from May to August are reduced to $1,200.00 weekly for a couple.
