In season, feel free to pick the bananas, papayas, and/or whatever may be available in the vegetable garden Getting There: Fly into Marsh Harbour

'Tranquillity' Because we spend four-five months a year at 'Tranquillity,' it is really our home, as such, we have tried to make it as complete, comfortable and convenient as possible. The house is situated between, and close to, the Sea of Abaco and the Atlantic Ocean. It is close enough to hear the surf of the Ocean and the lapping of the Sea, The panoramic view of both is spectacular.

Guest Book Thomas, 'The trip was fantastic. We didn't want to leave! We love your house and its wonderful view. The people there were fantastic, incredibly honest and very friendly. We had a great time and really enjoyed visiting with the locals and avoiding the US citizens. I think often of moving to such a place for political asylum. Thanks very much again for accommodating us at the last minute. It was one of the very best trips we have ever had.' David daz@whitney.usl.edu David A.
