Boho chic studio nestled in the heart of the Cable Beach area – a short stroll to various restaurants, Starbucks, Baha Mar Resort & Casino, grocery stores, a variety of liquor stores, and even better, it’s only a short walk away from several beautiful white sand beaches with pristine turquoise waters – take your pick! When you get home you can relax under the stars in the spacious backyard, or enjoy the cool breeze from your room while reading a book or binging on some Netflix. Seagrape Studio is a fully furnished studio apartment adjacent to a larger main house where hosts Ky and Kate reside. The house boasts a large, lush backyard which is a favourite stop off for a variety of indigenous wildlife, from native birds to curly tailed lizards. Although this property is in the heart of a tourist friendly area and close to pretty much everything, once you step off of the street and into the yard you feel like you are in your own private paradise, surrounded by vibrant greens, beautiful hibiscus flowers and several small palms – you might even get to drink a fresh coconut or two right off of the tree in the backyard! Seagrape Studio is located on the right hand side of the carport, and while the space may be cosy, once you step inside the studio the tranquil seafoam décor and vivid greens of the surrounding foliage will have you relaxing in no time. The view through the window above your bed is a very large, stunning Bird of Paradise, and the view from your bedside window is a set of very tall, picturesque Coconut Trees, a large Seagrape Tree and an Umbrella Tree. During your stay you have access to the entire backyard complete with a variety of native trees, handmade stone firepit, a BBQ for grilling, clothes line, Adirondack chairs and sun loungers. We provide beach towels, a portable freezer bag and Tumbler mugs for the beach – and if you want any advice on secluded beaches or must see spots, just ask your hosts! While you may want to taste test your way around Nassau, Seagrape Studio is complete with a fully stocked kitchenette including an apartment sized fridge and stove, pots/pans, dishware, a microwave, kettle and a folding wall table. The bed is a luxurious and very comfortable Queen with large fluffy, yet firm pillows. The floating bedside tables have power strips with a phone dock and USB outlets for your convenience. There is a large ceiling fan, or A/C if you prefer, however we are an environmentally friendly household, so we do ask that you be conscious of your electricity and water consumption if possible. We do have laundry facilities on-site, just ask your hosts if you need access to those – you can use the dryer or we have a large clothes line right in the backyard. The backyard is a shared space, but we encourage you to enjoy it to the fullest! The vibrant greens and lush plants offer tropical seclusion – whether you are enjoying your morning coffee while gazing at the various birds and animal visitors, or stargazing after a long day in the ocean, we want you to enjoy the space as if it is your own backyard! Come to The Bahamas and stay at Seagrape Studio, explore on your own, or let hosts Ky and Kate help you experience it like the locals – find out for yourself why “It’s Better in The Bahamas” Your hosts live in Nassau, and while we may be busy with our day-to-day activities, we are only a message away. We are more than happy to assist in any way we can to make your experience here the very best possible. Sometimes we are off island, but we always make sure that we are available and easy to reach should you have any questions, and we are more than happy to help! We can help you organize tours or give you tips on where to eat, what to try and what experiences are a must while you’re here!

The bus will take you directly past “The Fish Fry” or “Arawak Cay” – an area with multiple little restaurants and bars along the water – an awesome location for an easy bar hop or food hop where you can taste your way down the beach. This is a hotspot for tourists and locals alike, which often features live music, Bahamian drinks and cuisine, and festivals.
