Please scroll down for additional travel information.

Unlike most homes on this island... you can EASILY WALK from the villa to Stella Maris Resort’s Restaurants, Pools, Bars and Beach! This makes your vacation so much more relaxed!

READ OUR RAVE REVIEWS to hear why this house and this island are so special... and you can also follow us on social media to understand our laid-back “island vibe”. (RockHill_Bahamas)

DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM SOUTH FLORIDA:

MAKERS AIR flies direct from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport to Stella Maris on Thursdays and Sundays. —www.makersair.com—

Alternatively, you can do a private charter with Makers Air or Air Flight Charters (—www.airflightcharters.com—) along with many other companies.

A private charter in a 9-passsenger typically costs $10k - $14k. This price includes both the outgoing and return trips. If you have a large group this can be an economical and convenient way to travel. Skip the major airports and long lines of customs/immigration!

COMMERCIAL FLIGHTS TO STELLA MARIS VIA NASSAU (NAS):
This is the most common route taken to Long Island. Nassau International Airport is the major air hub for the Bahamas with many direct flights from the USA, Canada & London. Major carriers include Jet Blue, American Airlines, Delta, United, Air Canada, British Airways, West Jet and Bahamasair. Upon arrival in Nassau, you will need to clear customs/immigration and then take a short flight to Long Island. Stella Maris Resort Air Service can pick you up in Nassau and fly you directly to Stella Maris in one of their resort aircraft. This flight is extraordinarily beautiful and lasts about one hour. Rock Hill is less than a mile from the runway.

Stella Maris Resort Air Service is the preferred way to reach Stella Maris. However, Southern Air Charter, Island Wings Charter & Bahamasair also offer daily flights to Stella Maris and Deadman's Cay Airport. Please note that Stella Maris Airport is much more convenient.

Rock Hill was designed as a "relaxed island getaway" by Strang Design, an award-winning, Miami-based architecture firm. The villa's clean, minimal interiors reflect a mastery of the "island modern" aesthetic. Long Island is world-famous for its pristine waters and endless miles of white, sandy beaches and coves.

Rock Hill features a total of 4 Bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Layout: two Master Suites are on the top floor and a Bunk Room (4 beds total) and additional Master Suite on the lower floor.

A Great Room and Lanai offer stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. The interiors include furnishings from Restoration Hardware, Design Within Reach and Room & Board. Please note this villa is not suitable for the elderly, toddlers and very young children due to some unprotected walkways, terraces and stairs.

In addition to our private pool, you have free access to the stunning pools/beaches of Stella Maris Resort.

A rental car is not necessary to enjoy yourself at Rock Hill, however, rental cars are strongly recommended for longer stays and/or if you'd like the freedom to explore the entire island at your leisure. Our property manager, Bruno, will assist in arranging rental SUVs for your stay. They can be left at the airport or house for your convenience.

Prior to your arrival, you can email a shopping list to our property manager and your fridge/pantry will be stocked when you arrive.

All persons are required to have a valid passport for travel to The Bahamas (certain nationalities may require a Visa). If arriving into Stella Maris Airport, our property manager will greet you at the airport. You will need to use a taxi service or your rental car to get to the villa... only two minutes away!

Wonderful property and stay!
My family consisting of my husband, 2 adult daughters (27 & 19) and their fiancé/boyfriend and 2 teen daughters (16 & 14) absolutory loved staying at Rock Hill and would not hesitate to do so again. The property is spacious and has a beautiful view, though you do have to make a short drive to enjoy truly swimmable beaches. The Moonshine Bar is great for an afternoon snack and a frozen beverage...enjoyed almost daily by our entire party. They also have some fun weekly rum parties with music and such. The dining room at Stella Maris is good and works in a pinch, but it is expensive. I recommend Tiny's for exceptionally good food, beautiful views and a delightful breeze. Bruno was wonderfully attentive and you don't realize how nice that is until you deal with less than attentive property managers! A couple of things that would make the stay more enjoyable are: 1. A couple of cushy chairs or a more traditional sofa - while my girls seemed to enjoy the sofa (which is very low to the ground and has very little cushion), my husband most definitely did not. 2. A television in living room/bedrooms - after a long day of snorkeling/adventuring we enjoy watching movies as a family. We were able to hook our laptop to the projector and watch Netflix, but it was a bit more effort than would be necessary if there was a TV in the space. A TV in the master rooms would also be nice when you want to escape your family and catch an episode of whatever you are binging. Overall - Excellent!

Amazing house
Absolutely beautiful home with fabulous deck and great ocean views. The house was everything as advertised plus some. Really enjoyed the shuffle board court in the yard and being able to walk to the beach, a good restaurant and the bar. Both Max and Bruno were very helpful and responsive to our needs. Would definitely stay here again and really miss the relaxed way of life on Long Island.

Wonderful stay at Rock Hill
We had a blast on Long Island and really enjoyed Rock Hill. The house is perched up on a hill overlooking the Atlantic. It’s a great space for a large group with large open spaces and a fantastic porch. Bring bug spray because the bugs are brutal. We enjoyed the Stella Maris resort and our day on the boat with Docky. We also loved driving up to Cape Santa Maria, eating at the resort and enjoying the beach. Tiny’s and Docky’s Flats Bar were our best dining experiences. Bruno was really helpful with information about the island, what to do, where to eat, etc. It was a great family vacation and the house made extra special and enjoyable.

What a relaxing vacation!
This property is wonderful. It is located a short 5 minute walk from Stella Maris Airport and you can rent a car that will be waiting for you at the airport from Omar's rental cars. Bruno the property manager will meet you at the airport or at the house and he is a very nice gentlemen who has been living on the island for years. The house is a short 5 minute walk to Stella Maris Resort and Erna's natural pool. The house is situated on top of a hill and has a beautiful 180 degree view of the ocean. It was designed by the owner who is an architect. The air-conditioning works great and the house is very well cooled. The house has both a cistern and water from the resort so you won't run out. It is about a 15 minute drive to the nearest convenience/grocery story and a 20 minute drive to the gas station/liquor store. There are two rooms upstairs with large beds and downstairs one room with a bunk bed and one room with a large bed. All rooms have their own bathrooms that are very clean and large! There is an incredible members only beach about 25 min away that is breathtaking with a hammock, and private wooden gazebos. The water is crystal clear there. There is almost never anyone there and it is a short 5 minute drive from there to Cape Santa Maria Resort for drinks and lunch/dinner. If you are looking for a great home to host a family/friend visit, I highly recommend this place. Get a rental car and explore the island. There is a map of the island with all the landmarks marked on it in one of the drawers. We highly recommend Delbert for a boat trip or fishing charter. The island is fantastic! We spent 7 weeks there!

This house is amazing!. Be ready for remote living. Not sure if it was because of COVID but lots of houses in this neighborhood are vacant. Long Island has lots of sites to see and water was beautiful! We came by boat and left it at Stella Maris- it was deserted but safe. Definitely rent a car one day and go south!!!

I want to go back! My two friends and I stayed six nights & felt like we found the best place to stay on the island. The house is like one from a magazine that you dream about living in. It’s clean, modern, uncluttered & inviting. It looks exactly the same as in the pictures, but even better since it’s impossible to capture all the subtle details that make it so special. When we weren’t off exploring the island, we spent most of our time relaxing on the porch gazing at the mesmerizing colors of the ocean & catching the spectacular sunsets in the evenings. Regarding the people & things to do on Long Island, I don’t even know where to start & it would take up too much space to tell it all. Highlights were eating at locally owned restaurants…..from roadside stands to dining indoors…all recommended by Bruno. Dean’s Blue Hole is a must. The 1.5 hour drive is more than worth it & we enjoyed all the sights along the way. The people on the island are the friendliest you could ever meet. We enjoyed many conversations during our stops along the way & many had us laughing all the while. We took two boat tours, one that was more towards the north-end of the island & the other one near Deadman’s Cay, which toured more of the west side of the island. Both were great, but the second one was especially memorable because we were able jump in the water & pull one conch each to be used in fresh conch salads upon our return to the dock. The salads were prepared while watching & sipping on a rum drink, only a few steps away from where we got off the boat. Also, one of my friends did some snorkeling during the boat tours & also at Dean’s Blue Hole. Our favorite place to shop was Starfish Traders. The ladies there are so kind. All is handmade on the island & we couldn’t resist getting one of their Spider Web Straw hats, custom made to fit. I’m sure there were other good places to shop & dine, but some were closed due to the slowdown in visitors due to Covid. But the upside is that we almost had the island to ourselves! Last but not least, Bruno was fantastic, best host ever! From the start, he met us at the airport & with the rental car ready to go & was ever so helpful throughout our entire stay. All his recommendations were spot on. He has the patience of a saint with three ladies asking him all kinds of questions, losing the house key on the first day, having to jump-start a dead car battery from us leaving the headlights on overnight & also locki

Our stay was beyond our expectations! The location was perfect and accessible to so many things. The view of the ocean from the porch is breathtaking. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and very tasteful. You can tell extra attention was given to the details and design of the home making it modern, but complimentary to the neighborhood and culture surrounding it. This home has a perfect layout for a large family or several couples staying together. Each room is spacious and has it's own bathroom. There is plenty of privacy and the open and large family room/kitchen was a great spot for gathering. Do not hesitate to book this location! You will not be disappointed. Check in and check out was a breeze due to the property manager, Bruno. He takes care of it all! We stayed for two months and had many questions and requests during that time. Bruno was easily accessible and happy to assist. I only wish we never had to leave!

Wonderful Stay
Our experience at Rock Hill couldn’t have been better! My two friends and I stayed for almost a week at the property and loved it. The home is spacious, clean, and beautiful- the views from the home are spectacular! It is fully equipped- plenty of towels, toiletries, etc. We cooked at home a few of the nights during our stay and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. Bruno, the property manager, was extremely nice and helpful in preparing for our trip and any questions we had during our time there. Long Island offers an experience unlike any of the other Bahamian islands we’ve visited. It is a great place to visit if you are looking for untouched natural beauty and a vacation away from crowded beaches and tourist attractions. We had the perfect balance between relaxing days on the many beautiful beaches and stargazing at night, and then days with activities (boating with Docky, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming at Dean’s Blue Hole, and so on). Our experience at RockHill was amazing and we can’t wait to get back!

The house was fantastic. The use of the near by Stella Maris resort was great. It is a bit dated of a resort, but people were extremely nice and accommodating. Long island is a quiet place, but w a Boat, fishing and sightseeing, we filled up 5 days quickly and had a blast. Bruno, the caretaker is such a great guy. I recommend calling him first to help with whatever plans you want to make. He is a great resource. This house was a great place to stay, couldn’t have asked for anything more.

Beautiful Home
The house was absolutely gorgeous! It was clean when we arrived and the check in proceeds and check out process were all very smooth. It is a little far from most things on the island but the view and comfort of the home made up for it. I recommend doing a big grocery shop before getting to the house so you have everything you need. Stella Maris Resort is close but the food is not very tasty. For better food go to Cape Santa Maria Resort their beach is also gorgeous! We had 6 people and the house was affordable we also got the security deposit back without any issue.

A beautiful and stylish recently built Bahamia home with stunning /uninterrupted views of the ocean.
Only 3 mins walk from the charming Stella Maris Resort, Rock Hill offers an idealic getaway home for anyone seeking peace and quiet, direct walking access to 3 delightful beaches and all the authenticity of a Bahamian island. The house is exceptionally well appointed and all of the appliances and furnishings are of a very high standard. The house has a modern feel to it but is sympathetic to local style / architecture. All your needs can be easily taken care of by the very friendly house manager who is even very happy to stock up your fridge with food and drinks before you arrive! Days can be spent simply lounging on the terrace watching the days go by or alternatively a car can be dropped off at the house (extra charge) so that you can explore the island. Down south there is the 600ft deep Deans Blue Hole and the nearby marina (good food) and along the way, an assortment of local waterside bars serving conch ceviche and rum punch! Fifteen mins drive away are the beautiful beaches of Cape Sta Maria. Docky, the local boat guy is only too happy to take you out and show you his own small island to meet his pigs, into caves and cliffs that you can jump off, snorkeling in the shallow waters and of course shark and sting ray sightings! Food on the island is typical Caribbean fare. Groceries can be found for basic cooking. We preferred to try all the local spots. The bar / restaurant at Stella Maris offers good food and an eclectic scene of both guests and locals. It’s super friendly. The Oceanside pool bar offers good food with a spectacular view and a pristine beach! It’s would be hard to say anything bad about Rock House, it’s location (5 min from a tiny airport) or the experience waiting for any visitor. It’s a fabulous destination!

Simply Fantastic!
Our stay at Rock Hill was absolutely amazing. The home is very well-appointed and has a very asthetic appeal. It is spacious and the bedrooms provided ample room. The kitchen was well stocked with tools that you would need for meal preparation. We also appreciated the use of a cooler that we could take to the beach. Bruno was fabulous and he had the kitchen stocked with items upon our arrival. He also provided useful information about sightseeing and restaurants in the area. The views from the home are stunning and we enjoyed seeing the beauty of the ocean in the distance. This was our first time on Long Island and certainly would love to return in the future. It is less commercialized than Nassau and we loved it! We’d find beaches and coves where we were the only inhabitants. Don’t hesitate to book this property we highly recommend it.
