Sea Forever is located on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Bahamas. With the 3rd longest barrier reef in the world just off the beach deck, our property is one of only a handful of homes with direct access to one of the most secluded and private beaches on the island. You might stay there for days without seeing anyone. It will be you, nature, powdery sand and the ocean. Snorkeling, diving, fishing or simply being there is 50 feet away from the house.

Our home offers an open plan living area and kitchen and extensive wraparound decking - covered and uncovered - for the perfect island vacation experience. Expansive landscaping adds to the overall serenity and character of the house.

The living space is open and welcoming, with a comfortable, cozy sofa, chaise and chairs, a dining table for six, and an island bar with bar stools, Vaulted ceilings paneled in Cypress wood ensure the house is airy and filled with light.

The kitchen is equipped with just about everything you could need, including a Thermador gas range, a Kitchenaid fridge and freezer, two Kitchenaid ovens, a Kitchenaid dishwasher, and a microwave. You’ll also find plenty of pots and pans for cooking, an excellent array of knives and serving dishes, and loads of plates, bowls, cups and glasses (including all kinds of beach plasticware to take outside).

Just next door to the kitchen there’s a utility room with a washer and drier.

There are two bedrooms downstairs. The master bedroom has a king size bed, ceiling fan, side tables, chaise for relaxing, and french doors that open on to the deck, along with a large master bathroom complete with a double shower, double sinks, and a large walk-in closet.

The downstairs guest bedroom has a king size bed, ceiling fan and side tables, with its own outdoor covered deck. The downstairs bathroom is right outside the door with a tub/shower combo.

The third bedroom is upstairs, with a deck looking out on to the lawn, side tables, a ceiling fan, and a reading nook with an inviting double chaise.

Outside, you’ll find large deck spaces with a gas grill, two dining tables, dining chairs, and loungers for napping in the shade or sunbathing.

The beach is just off the back deck, and offers some of the softest sand in the world. There are only a few other homes on the beach, guaranteeing peace and privacy. The water is crystal clear, sloping gradually to the reef, where you'll find wonderful marine life featuring turtles, rays, groupers and angel fish.

With a golf cart rental (a must on the island - we'll send you a packet of information about the island when you book, including golf cart rental companies), you'll have the exceptional island of Great Guana Cay. From exploring deserted beaches to body surfing, beach combing to sipping a cocktail and watching the sunset at a beach front bar...

And if you rent a boat, or take advantage of a charter company excursion, you can explore the Abacos myriad of bays, coves and protected harbors, deep sea fish, scuba dive, or island hop to Hopetown, Man O War, Treasure Cay or Green Turtle Cay.

The lagoon between Great Guana Cay and Scotland Cay - a stone's throw away by boat - is an incredible place to spend the day, and the underwater scenery at Fowl Cay Marine Reserve - just a little bit further by boat - is some of the best in the Caribbean.

For a good feel for our home and location, please check out our video, which can be seen at the end of the photo gallery.

If you haven't been to Great Guana Cay and are contemplating a trip, we'd love to have the opportunity to correspond via email or chat on the phone to talk you through what a trip to the island looks like - booking flights to Marsh Harbour (our closest airport), taxis to the ferry terminal, taking the ferry to Guana, getting provisions, and all the things you can do once on the island.

In the meantime, the essentials are as follows: from the Marsh Harbour airport you take a 7 or 8 minute taxi ride to the G/L Guana ferry dock, where you jump on a 30 minute ride to Guana (ferries run about every two hours during the day). Once on Guana, our property manager will greet you at the dock, help you collect your golf cart, and lead you to the house.


IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO NOTE

We ask that you please strictly adhere to the stated number of people in your group. Per our insurance policy - and our fervent desire to make sure the house can support you - we ask that you please not have any friends or family over that might be staying elsewhere on the island. 6 people is our absolute maximum number of people at the house at any time.

The utility infrastructure in the Abacos is continually striving forward, but we may experience island wide power outages during your stay. These are usually short in duration (less than 90 minutes). Occasionally they can last several hours. We are typically not aware of outages as we have solar at the house. And we also have a back up generator.

Water is incredibly precious on Guana, and rain water is our only source. We'll discuss everything in further detail with you, but thank you so much for being mindful of water consumption.

It is very important to note that there are no medical clinics on the island. There is a hospital and several medical clinics in Marsh Harbour.

Lastly, we have outdoor security cameras for security.

    Host was exceptionally friendly, gracious and engaging willing to do anything to make our stay enjoyable, even arranging cabs/ferry suggestions, restaurants suggestions and other activities. She called the owner and arranged reservations at a new private restaurant on the island open only to guests at their resort and got us in for a memorable evening of high quality food and ambiance.

    I can’t say enough good things about this property. The location is phenomenal if you’re looking for a relaxing out of the way beach property. The host couldn’t have been more attentive and made getting to and from the property as easy as humanly possible.

    We cannot say enough positive things about Keep Smiling and Great Guana Cay! This was our 2nd visit to Keep Smiling. The home and property are exactly as advertised. The beach deck is our favorite spot at the home. We enjoyed the view of the spectacular beach and it was virtually all ours during our stay. At night, the view of the stars is incredible.Molly, the owner, is extremely kind and helpful. She will make you feel like family. She has contacts for everything that you could want or need for your stay. She is available at any time to answer any questions and provide assistance.

    This booking is the first time we spoke with the owners. The owners provide an exceptional, concierge-like experience, ensuring a flawless and stress-free stay through their immaculate attention to detail.This property offers the ultimate relaxation experience across three distinct areas: stunning warm hues of turquoise water views from inside the house and porch, a nearby deck perfect for non-sand relaxation - great for coffee and close of the day, and a virtually private beach with turquoise waters just steps away. The location provides both serenity and breathtaking beauty in a private setting.The well-appointed kitchen features quality appliances and utensils, while the living spaces offer oversized, comfortable furniture perfect for dining or gaming. Two separate living areas (inside & outside) accommodate different moods and activities. The spacious grounds, rich with vegetation, enhance both beauty and privacy; perfect for walks and quiet contemplation.While some in my family initially worried about the lack of “bustling” activity, these concerns completely vanished by the time we reluctantly departed. This property proves that sometimes the best experiences come from being with family and engaging in simple indoor & outdoor activities. I highly recommend even if it selfishly makes it harder to book.

    We spent 5 nights over New year’s at this beautiful beach setting. The water and white beaches were beautiful and so relaxing. Access to the beach was great and the house was very comfortable for us. And a great private and secure neighborhood! We will be back!!

    Keep Smiling made for an incredible first time experience on Great Guana Cay! The location on the South end of the cay was picturesque and we were able to really relax in the peaceful surroundings! We have traveled through nearly all of the Caribbean and this water is by far the most beautiful we have ever seen...the sand is incredibly soft too! We snorkeled almost daily right off the beach by the house and saw turtles, rays, a barracuda and assorted fish as well as the wide variety of corals! We used the lovely kitchen to make a meal of conch and fish that we caught during a boat charter that we enjoyed visiting nearby cays. Molly and Stephane were incredible in their helpfulness throughout our stay! The cay is so friendly that we felt like locals by the time we left with the friendships we made at area restaurants! We HIGHLY recommend staying at this fantastic home as we plan to be back again!!

    Wonderful home that has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The landscape was beautiful and the beach was amazing!! We saw maybe four other people on the beach during our entire stay. I highly recommend Keep Smiling for your next vacation, you will not be disappointed, Molly was an absolute dream to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure our trip was seamless. Thank you Molly for ensuring we had a wonderful family vacation!

    Molly and her house were nothing but incredible! This had been my dream to finally rent this one of a kind beach home and I finally got a chance and I can say I was in heaven the whole time. The property is a huge, well manicured yard with beautiful flowers and trees. The deck over the beach was my favorite spot with views of the almost private beach and reef! My boys and I snorkeled all day. Molly was beyond helpful and more than accommodating from beginning to end. She’s the nicest person/host I’ve ever experienced. The home is situated off the beaten path which we love - yet the most gorgeous golf cart ride to the main town. You won’t regret staying here. We are grateful Molly and her husband have shared their slice of paradise with our family!! Memories for a lifetime ?
