This site is all about San Salvador, a little island in the Bahamas.

south tip of San Salvador Bahamas — San Salvador Bahamas

About 180 miles south-east of Nassau, San Salvador is roughly 12 miles long and 5 miles wide. The most well know fact about this island is that Christopher Columbus discovered San Salvador in 1492.

We have maybe 1200 people living here year around and in average 400 guests per week in Club Med. (they never leave the club)

Other than that San Salvador has maybe 30 more tourists per week living in rental homes or condos and the Riding Rock hotel which is famous for diving or the Guanahani resort that is famous for kite surfing and 30 something families visiting during the year that own property on San Salvador or people come on their boat and spend time here in San Salvador. There is also the Gerace research centre which host students from the US for a few weeks at the time.

So, with only a hand full of people you can probably already imagine that the beautiful beaches of the Island are not only breathtaking beautiful but also deserted. You can walk for hours and not see another soul. People coming on vacation to San Salvador usually seek the peace and quiet and the beauty of the crystal clear turquoise and aqua waters. They go diving or fishing or swimming or snorkeling or boating but basically every activity involves the water.

We have a few restaurants on the island and a few bars and a festival once in a while and some beautiful sites to see but San Salvador is not your typical tourist destination. This island is all about relaxing and letting go and seeing the incredible beauty this Island has to offer.

Some people call San Salvador the “Hidden gem of the Bahamas”, I like to refer to it as “The forgotten Island” (there is a book with this title) but most locals call it “The Rock” because it really is a rock sticking out of the water.

Life here in San Salvador never seems to change, it feels as if time stands still. No rush, no stress, no drama, no crime, only friendly people that help each other. If you have a car and drive around the Island you have to keep your window open so you can greet each car that passes by. (if you know the people or not doesn’t matter)

Going shopping for milk usually takes me a few hours because I have to stop at Stanley’s bar for a drink or soda, then I talk to Edna for a little bit (Stanley’s mother) and before I leave some other people that I know show up and you have a little chat and once I am on the road again I might run into a neighbor and exchange some words and at the grocery store I always meet people that I know and we joke around a little and and and. Life is different here !!!

Please check out the picture section and read some of my posts/ stories to get a better understanding of this very special place. Hope you enjoy all the information about San Salvador.

Here are a few words directly from the owner of this awesome home on San Salvador Bahamas.

I knew I loved San Sal the moment we first landed on the island and began to tour the place. However when I came across Snow Bay I knew I had found one of the truly remarkably beautiful places in the world. I had to have my home right there. The shallow turquoise waters provide almost a gigantic private swimming pool. The shallow waters and the cays provide a natural buffer from strong winds and bad weather .

We built our ocean side home strong and sturdy. Poles anchor the house into the ground and the fiberglass roof provides no worry of damage from strong winds. The strength of this home was put on display last year during Hurricane Joaquin. While much of the Island was devastated and homes destroyed, our home was left with little more than some chipped paint off the walls. You need a strong home to battle mother nature out there. This is the one.

The house is set up very open and simple: a large living room/kitchen with two virtually identical bedrooms on either side (each with full baths). The real gem of the house though is the deck, fully circling the house, that provides an outside feel while still being covered from the sun and rain.

I have personally planted 20 or so palm trees on the lot…one towers 10 feet or so in height, others of varying heights, all which when mature will create a stunning landscape on the property. House has a 2.5 car garage. House runs on solar power and backup propane generator. Other amenities include:

– Eight newly purchased Deka gel solar batteries…these should last at least another 15 years

– Newly painted deck one year ago

– newly painted and sealed roof one year ago

– high dollar propane generator

– All furniture, decorations, dishwater, etc will be sold with the house minus clothes and personal pictures

This home is literally turn-key.
