Stella Views has stunning 360 degree views of Long Island, Atlantic & Caribbean

We stayed 3 days used kitchen and bbqLocation needs 4 wheel drive to reach Needs to be communicated ahead of time.

My husband a I came for a week with two other couples. The house was wonderful for our needs. The owner, Bill and the house manager, Karin were great at communicating and made sure our stay was very comfortable. Karin met us at the airport and took us to the house and help to arrange a rental car for the week. We all had a great time and look forward to returning to Long Island in the future. I would definitely recommend this property.

We loved this house/ location. Well equipped. Lots of breeze on the verandas! Best vantage point for the sunsets. Great support from the owner and host.

This was our first booking that wasn't actually beach front and I was a little nervous. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, it meant that every day we took off for a different adventure. From the first time I looked at the property and had questions, Bill, the owner was amazing to work with, answered everything truthfully and promptly. The home itself is a beautiful home, huge and well equipped. It is a home on the outer islands of the Bahamas so it has a few things that need a little attention but as this is our 15th trip to these special islands, we are well aware of how things go. Absolutely nothing wrong that detracted from our amazing visit. Karin, the house manager went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and answer all questions we had. She stocked the fridge before we arrived with a list of things we needed. She was at the airport to greet us and show us to the house and explained all of the many features of this well equipped home. I needed an iron and one was promptly brought over. We don't usually return to houses more than once but will definitely return to Stella Views. Thank you Bill and Karin for an amazing 10 days on Long Island.

Seems to me the previous reviewer thought they had booked a Four Seasons in Hawaii instead of a house on a remote island. Our group booked this house with the intention of getting away to a beautiful island where we could ring in the new year along with a birthday and an engagement - while most importantly avoiding the crowds during a pandemic. The house, the hospitality, and the island experience was everything we needed and more. Supplies aren't always easy to come by on islands like this, so it didnt come as a surprise to find a few things out of order in the house. That said, it was more than comfortable for the 6 adults we had and it could have easily accommodated more. The outdoor shower on the lower master was incredibly refreshing. Top notch views from the rooftop for sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing. We didnt use the pool a ton because the beaches on Long Island are too good to pass up, but when we did it was revitalizing. We cant give enough praise to both Karin and Bill for the prompt communication we needed to coordinate this trip with constantly changing plans due to COVID. They went above and beyond taking care of our group and helping to arrange groceries, meals, rental cars, COVID tests, and anything else we asked last minute. Thank you Bill for opening your doors to us and huge thank you to Karin for hosting us on this picture perfect island! Look forward to coming back in the future when international travel is less stressful! Dave

This is a beautiful, 5 BR, multi-BA home with its own pool, large outdoor decks, workout room with treadmill and bike, nice furnishings and incredible views. The bedrooms are large and comfortable. The owner and his property manager were very cordial and helpful offering tips on things to do and places to go on Long Island. If you plan to dine out, be sure to go to Chez Pierre restaurant. It's killer. Overall, the home was a great place for our family of 6 adults and 4 kids that was just minutes from the Stella Maris airport and amazing beaches--particularly Cape Santa Maria just 20 minutes away. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay at this home...with minor exceptions. However, not all was 5 star. The home is beginning to suffer from lack of maintenance with clogged bathroom drains, two inside showers not functioning (had to use outdoor showers), toilets that did not refill properly and continued to run after flushing, causing the limited water capacity to be taxed, many light bulbs not working or missing entirely, AC units out of Freon and therefore not working and only one of the AC remote controllers with batteries making operation of the units a problem. The solar cover for the pool was pretty much trashed and a number of the chase lounge chairs were broken. The northside patios are beginning to suffer from black mold which will eventually damage the stone if ignored. However, the kitchen was well stocked with plates, silverware cups, bowls, etc. so eating in was great...it was only the grocery stores that were out a ways away with limited variety. Nevertheless, we never suffered from lack of food. Stella Views is a wonderfully designed home that provides great space for larger groups such as ours. My hope is that the owner will not neglect to properly maintain it, particularly when it comes to insuring ample water supply without having to take abbreviated showers and flush toilets only every other use or more. This is an amazing place that deserves more attention than it seems to be getting today. This may be temporary but it did feel as though the home was not getting the TLC it deserves. Having said that, I would still recommend this home.

This is the first time my wife and I have rented from VRBO. We have always stayed at Resort properties or Private Villas, managed by rental companies. The Bath and Beach towels were stained, and mutilple colors, so no bleach is used which we were very uneasy about. Also, the bed sheets in the Master Bedroom smelled musty, not freshly washed. My wife checked over the other multiple bedrooms, and found the same thing. Second, the toilet in our bedroom stopped working on day 2. I am pretty handy, and was able to fix it temporarily, then it broke again the next day. There are 2 outdoor showers that are useless. You can not enter from outside the house, so sand is tracked all through the house and up the stairs. Also, the hot tub was broken, and we were not made aware until we were taken around by the house manager. The pool was ice cold, not refreshing, we only went in twice. There was barely any salt and pepper, and my wife had to buy a 3 pound bag of sugar just to use 2 tsp for some tea. Why aren't there any sugar packets? No complimentary tea or coffee either? It's all these little inconveniences that overall led to 3 stars. We spent the majority of our time enjoying the island, and didn't spend alot of time in the house which may if been a good thing.

Quite enjoyable

Stunning house with breathtaking views! We traveled with extended family and there was ample space for us to spread out. Multiple seating areas both inside and out. Dinning table easily seated eight. Kitchen was well equipped for meal preparation. Balconies and views on all levels. The turret is easily the highest point on this part of the island and offers 360 views of Long Island. Close to both Stela Maris and Cape Santa Maria resorts. Both are very friendly and open to non-resort guests to make use of their restaurants and activities. Nearby Cape Santa Maria beach is hands down the most stunning and best swimming beach in the Bahamas/Caribbean! We’ve been spending holidays on various islands each year for almost the last 10 years (St. Barths, St. Martin, St. Croix, St. Kits, St. Thomas, Nassau, Harbor Island...) and this was one of our favorite places to stay so far. If you’re looking to get away from the crowds without roughing it, this is your place. Great for larger groups and kids.

This house was absolutely beautiful with amazing views! Very spacious lay out and very well stocked. There are multiple outdoor spaces from which to take in the stunning ocean views. We kept forgetting about the two roof decks in addition to the great seating area/balcony right off the living room. The living room has two large seating areas. I would absolutely stay here again. The owner always replied quickly And was easy to work with. It was a great vacation!!
