VHR, WORLDWIDE

 

     VHR, WORLDWIDE's introduction into the villa and condominium rental business started in Treasure Cay when we organized the resort area's first home owner's rental program back in 1982.  We dove into this opportunity to promote and manage the vacation residences of our friends and neighbors with great trepidation.  This lovely, low-key resort community on the Out Island of Abaco is very dear to our hearts, as the President of VHR, WORLDWIDE's family has been a part-time resident since 1974.  However, Treasure Cay ticks off so many of the items on our 'perfect vacation' list that we simply could not keep it a secret.

 

     Treasure Cay's claim to fame is its world-renowned beach comprising 3-1/2 miles of talcum-powder-soft pink/white sand lapped by the most beautiful turquoise blue water that you have ever seen.  In our business, we've experienced a lot of truly wonderful beaches but few come close to Treasure Cay's shallow, expansive sandy bottom which is ideal for swimmers and nonswimmers alike.  Treasure Cay's beach is also a delight for shell-seekers as the sand bars right off shore (walkable during low tide) are strewn with sand dollars, starfish and a vast array of seashells.

 

     In addition to the amazing beach, Treasure Cay also features a full-service marina where you can dock your boat or sailboat (with advance notice).  Accomplished sea dogs can rent a boat for the day (or longer), and those who are not skilled mariners can charter a craft with a captain who will provide you with a half-day or full-day tour to some of the other nearby Out Islands (e.g. Whale Cay, No Name Cay, Guana Cay, etc.) for snorkeling, lunch, swimming with pigs, and/or fishing.

 

     Many of our guests ask us to rent a golf cart for them in advance (they are in limited supply), as this is the best way to get around the resort community.  From the accommodations on the marina, it is only a short walk to the grocery store, liquor store, resort shops, bank and post office - even shorter trip with a golf cart!

 

     A short taxi ride will take you to the Treasure Cay ferry dock (water taxi) where you can visit Green Turtle Cay - a fun day trip.  Man-o-War Cay and Hope Town (Elbow Cay) are also interesting and can be reached via ferry service out of Marsh Harbour, about a half hour's drive from Treasure Cay.

 

     Treasure Cay's classically designed, Dick Wilson golf course - only a few minutes away by golf cart - stretches 6,985 yards from the back tees with fairways framed by thick subtropical vegetation.  Tee times can be made through the golf clubhouse; special island golf events and unlimited play packages are updated regularly.

 

      While there are several restaurants within walking distance of the marina area, a five-minute taxi ride will take you to other dining options.

 

     We have a wealth of information on the resort community, including other nearby islands to visit for lunch or the day, that is provided to our guests (renters) prior to their trip.

 

     BH401 is a two bedroom, one-and-a-half bath condominium overlooking the Treasure Cay Marina.  If you were to pick the perfect spot from which to enjoy the amazing sunset over the sailboats and yachts that are moored there, this would be it.  One of our best vacation rentals since the day we opened for business, this two-story, air-conditioned condominium is well-equipped for a party/family of four.

 

     The first floor is an open plan design comprising a fully-equipped kitchen, dining area, and living area plus a bonus half-bath (not all of the condominiums have the extra guest bath).  The view of the marina can be appreciated from anywhere on the first floor, as well as from the patio off the living area which has outdoor seating.

 

     Two bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the second floor.  The Master Bedroom has a queen-size bed, dresser, and closet plus a small balcony with seating from which to enjoy spectacular sunset and marina view.  The second twin-bedded Guest Bedroom overlooks the well-manicured tropical flora and the shared, heated, freshwater swimming pool and tennis courts beyond.

​

     Like most of the vacation homes in Treasure Cay, this condominium does not have cable or satellite TV.  The WiFi strength is very good, so bring your laptop or tablet to watch your favorite television shows or movies.

 

     BH401 is a block and a half from Treasure Cay's magnificent beach.  The swimming pool is only steps from the door of the condominium, with the tennis courts (free) just beyond.  There is also a laundry room with washer and dryer, workout room, and freshwater spigot adjacent to the Manager's office - just 2 minutes' walk away.  Also available on site for guests are BBQ grills.  The Manager is available during the daytime to assist with any questions or special requests.  Next to the Manager's office is a parking lot for your golf cart, bicycle or rental car (free parking). 

 

     A 10-minute walk or five-minute golf cart/bicycle ride will bring you to the local grocery store which is well stocked with everything most people need.  Also in the same small shopping area is a liquor store, ATM, cafe, gift shop, laundromat, hardware store, gift shop, golf cart and bicycle rental.

 

     Children are welcome.  No pets.  Smoking is not permitted inside the condominium.  Guests will be required to abide by the community's policies and courtesies regarding noise levels after hours, the use of the swimming pool, tennis courts, workout room, and other common areas.

 

What We Really Like About The Treasure Cay Resort Community (Staff Visits):

 

• The beach is nothing short of spectacular.  National Geographic rated it one of the Top 10 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World.  None of our properties in Treasure Cay are more than two blocks away from the beach and it is never crowded, even during high season.

• The beach is 3-1/2 miles of talcum-soft, pink-white sand with calm water.  Great for walking, shelling, and swimming.  During low tide, you can walk out to a small island called Sunrise.

• This is a self-contained community.  You can easily walk, bike, or take a golf cart to shopping, restaurants, tennis, golf course and, of course, the beach.

• Taxis are readily available to take you to restaurants and shopping outside of the resort community, the ferry dock (to visit other nearby islands), and the airport.  The cost is set by government standards.

 

 

     "Treasure Cay has the most amazing beach I have ever seen.  I can see why VHR wants to keep this place out of the sight of tourists.  :-)  Nothing like Nassau. Our condo was very nice, well appointed and spotlessly clean when we arrived. The local Bahamians are friendly and helpful.  Everything is within easy reach on foot or by bicycle or golf cart.  If you're looking for low-key, this is the place to go! VHR has a winner in Treasure Cay!"                              - Wendy L.  (various dates)

 

     "I absolutely LOVE Treasure Cay!  It has everything I need for a relaxing vacation.  The condos around the marina are a good size, with a great location.  You can walk to the beach, bar, restaurants or grocery store in a matter of minutes.                                                                                - Sandy F.
