House No. 24
Essex, U.K.

We always dreamt of owning a stylish Caribbean hideaway home built on the edge of a paradise beach. Better still a house with all the modern day comforts none of us can live without, plus swimming pools, tennis courts - all surrounded by lush, tropical gardens. Our dream came true last year - we have a beautiful house at Shoreline on Grand Bahama Island where we have found the welcome as warm as the sea!

Owned by an English Property Development Company, Shoreline have found a magic formula to build large, detached properties for families of all shapes and sizes in such a way as to create a community whilst maintaining privacy and an independent lifestyle for the residents.

The properties are built to a very high (hurricane resistant) standard and despite there being only half a dozen styles to choose from, they all seem unique. We had an opportunity to choose a style of house, the colour of the exterior and the roof as well as making quite significant changes to the design of interior space. Kitchens, bathrooms, tiles, granite worktops were all chosen by us and nothing was too much trouble - even when we changed our mind a few times! The result? A made to measure holiday home that is even better in reality than it was in our dream!
