Summer Place

Hi Folks,

I just listed a property in Man-O-War called 'Summer Place'. A low maintenance simple house that is an ideal place for a getaway! It has three bedrooms so there is room to bring your children and grandchildren to enjoy the charming community of Man-O-War. There are numerous beaches on Man-O-War and the neighbourhood is quiet, safe and peaceful and maybe best of all is located across the street from the ice-cream place and Marina/Restuarant where all sorts of delicious treats can be found!

Here is the link to check it out:

Full Moon Dinner

The Abaco Beach Resort recently started having Full Moon Dinner show. The setting is the beach right there on the grounds. The first dinner started out with cocktails and teh guests enjoyed Bahamian conch salad, boiled fish and an old time favorite 'Johnny Cake'. Guests enjoyed the sounds of Bahamian music

The resort is under new management as of earlier this year and this is a new idea that he has implemented. Seems like a good one to me. The next one is scheduled for Nov 8th. There was also a movie for kids shown at the below decks and kids enjoyed a night of fun with fellow guests as they munched on popcorn.

As the holidays approach the hotel will be offering special menus and there will be entertainment from the local Abaco bands and Abaco church's.

I'm happy the hotel is able to offer this for it's guests and also the natives.

Well I am back from cruising the Western Caribbean. It was a nice trip and the ship was lovely. The down side of things was it was cloudy and rainy almost the entire time. I had originally booked the cruise mainly to go to Grand Cayman. Unfortunately due to the heavy sea surge we were not able to tender in to that port. I was quite disappointed but had to make the best of it. We took a tour of the Dunn's River Falls. It was amazing to see.

During all of this cruising and site seeing I found a little bit of time to sneak some work in and check my emails. Things were still on the quiet side but I was able to put a new house listing under contract so I guess some things were happening in the real estate world here in Abaco.

All in all though the market is still soft and now with the US election day over with hopefully the economy will pick up and people will be ready to travel and invest again, and what better place than Abaco which is so close to the US.
