About Gavin Stretton
My name is Gavin. I, along with my wife Sarah, manage the property. We have two children of 11 and 8 years old. Lucaya Gardens is our family business built condo. I have been involved in the project from conception to finish. I have literally shed blood, sweat and tears into it and am very proud of our achievement. I spent 18 months working on the project before my family joined me which was tough but it has all been worth it as we now also live in the building.
Why Gavin Stretton chose Bell Channel Bay
We first came to Grand Bahama Island in 2004 on a cruise following a week spent in Disney Orlando FL. We were only on the island for a day but we immediately knew that this was where we wanted to live. Year round sun, beautiful oceans and so much to do sold us on the spot! My father-in-law and I came the following year to see what properties were available and we know that Port Lucaya and Taino Beach were by far the best spots for a vacation so it was here or nowhere!! We were fortunate to acquire the lot on Jennings Place, some 6 months after our trip. The rest....is history!

Beautiful Condo that feels more like a private house
We came into the property after a long hard boat ride over and when we saw the beautiful big yellow condo it made the long day worth the travel over! It is beautiful and had everything we needed for a fun family trip. Sarah was on site and greeted us and was very accomodating to any of our needs.
I don't believe there was anyone staying on the property as guests. We never saw anyone else but Sarah. That was kind of nice although we don't mind making new friends!
The boat dock area was nice and Sarah made sure we had a hose and fresh water to rinse the boat off each day. There was also an electrical hookup if needed with an extension cord. The pool was a nice temperature and within 20 feet of the door to the condo.
The condo itself was open and spacious and had a cool modern feel but still it was cozy. Bathrooms were big and spacious as well.
The one small thing I would say is there was no local TV stations. However we were able to stream a major news feed from the states. And we could get our Netflix so it was all good.
We brought food over so we used the kitchen for every meal. I had everything I needed for cooking. It would be great to have a gas grill for cooking outside since it was so nice out. There was a small charcoal grill but we didnt have any charcoal. Although I'm sure Sarah would have helped us out in getting some.
Overall our stay was fantastic! If we ever find our way to Lucaya we will definitely stay here again!
Thank you Sarah and Gavin!
Great place for a family vacay!!!
Just spent an amazing 4 nights at this gorgeous place and could not have been more impressed! Gavin and Sarah were so helpful in guiding us through our stay. Their recommendations for excursions , restaurants etc were spot on and Gavin even took us to an awesome cliff jumping spot that the kids loved! The unit is spacious, immaculate, and tastefully decorated. The pictures don’t do it justice - beautiful high ceilings and top quality construction is obvious throughout. The private pool is surrounded by lush landscaping and there is even a brand new dock that is a great sunbathing spot. We highly recommend this amazing place !!
Great spot for a fishing trip!
This condo is the perfect spot for a fishing trip. Just steps out of the back door to the dock, pool and fish cleaning table. Marina is right across the waterway for fuel and ice. Unit was beautifully furnished and the kitchen nicely equipped with everything needed to cook up a great meal. Gavin went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. We look forward to our next visit!
Exactly as promised great location fully equipped condo
I can’t say enough about Gavin the on-site contact for your stay !!! We had one issue with the WiFi router that Burnt-out during a storm and he responded immediately with another one and a laptop to program it !!!! I have a Vrbo property I rent as well and I understand the problems and I KNOW Good Service when it’s provided ! This is a great place to stay !!!!
As described
Close to everything
Place is top notch
Came over from WPB by boat for a few days of fishing. I wish the weather would have been as great as this pad. Super nice inside, awesome pool, great dockage, and a great caretaker in Gavin. We will be back
