“We sailed all over the Caribbean looking for an Island to lay down roots. We found Stella Maris on Long Island and were hooked. As Columbus noted in his journal when he first anchored, “probably the most beautiful Island in the World.”

We discovered a wonderful community of residents and local Bahamians that we grew to love. Come join us!”

“On the 46th hour of a 48 hour house hunting trip I discovered “The White House”, fell in love and bought - it was a shell of a house! Not the beachfront I had initially thought of, but it was “ME” with my long dreamed of sunset view over the Caribbean coupled with the amazing facilities of Stella Maris.”
