Main Villa

There are no fancy gates at Three Bees to announce this property to the world. Instead, the entranceway is humble and private, totally without pretension. But the grounds surrounding Villa Bee are lush with natural growth. There are living spaces and bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs, plus verandas with wide ocean views. Villa Bee has the feel of a colonial plantation house, both outside and in — classic old Bahamas. Imagine the treasures that might grace the home of a 19th-century Bahamas plantation owner. Some simple. Some very refined. Some from nature itself. All contribute to the feeling at Three Bees of a gracious and welcoming home.

Villa Bee is a warm and personal place, with interesting mementos and family portraits surrounding its comfortable couches. It is always open to the sun and air. On both floors, verandas run the entire length of the house and are furnished with comfortable, casual furniture in several conversational groups. From the upper veranda, views of the sea are stunning – a proper inspiration for a letter to a dear friend. Three Bees is a place for families and for fun, as exemplified by its large rec room with billiards table and every type of board game. The five bedrooms in the main villa are en-suite, with four-poster beds and sliders opening onto the broad verandas.

After breakfast walk down to the (truly) pink sand beach, stretch out on a chaise and open the book you’ve been planning to read for months.The master suite with canopy bed and sliders opens onto the broad second-story veranda. The spacious master has an equally spacious bathroom. The Main Villa’s bedrooms, while they share Bahamas-traditional décor, have individual personalities. One of the five bedrooms in the Main Villa can be set up for the kids, with twin beds and even stuffed animals.
