“What struck me about this beachfront property in Dunmore Town is its dedication to providing both luxury and an authentic Bahamian experience, especially its access to the famed Pink Sands Beach. The seaside bistro elevates local Caribbean cuisine, while the option of private cottages with direct beach access creates a truly exclusive experience. In my opinion, this is a place where relaxation meets genuine island charm.”
