Located on New Providence Island in the heart of the Bahamas, the quaint beach town of Nassau beckons visitors with its laid back Caribbean vibe and warm hospitality. Come here to relax, reconnect and make fun vacation memories. The white sand beaches and glassy waves off the coast make this a perfect destination for a romantic escape or unique family getaway. You'll find plenty of exciting things to do here, all against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty. Experience first class Nassau golf on champion caliber courses, quaint Nassau shopping at the boutiques and art galleries downtown, and the vibrant energy of Nassau nightlife, restaurants, and bars.

The best way to experience Nassau and the rest of the Bahamas is by staying in a vacation rental of your own. A luxury home or condo will provide you with all the space you need to store your beach gear as well as the amenities you need to relax in style. Wake up each morning in your elegant ocean villa and enjoy a cup of coffee on your private balcony. Spend your days on the beach and in the evening, brush off the sand and come home to your vacation rental to host dinner for your family and friends.

Here are a few additional suggestions for your trip:

• Snorkel Nassau: Bahamas charter boats leave each day from the harbor and take scuba divers and snorkelers to offshore reef systems teeming with colorful fish, sea stars, and stingrays.
• Visit Blue Lagoon Island: This legendary wildlife area is home to the famous Blue Lagoon dolphins and California sea lions.
• Play on the beach: Some of the most breathtaking beaches in the Caribbean lie along the shores of Nassau. Arawak Cay and Cable Beach are among the most popular.
