Shoreline #51

Long ago we formulated a short list of countries that might fit our requirements of somewhere to retire to; the country had to have very low or zero taxation, the native tongue should be English so that we could mix easily with the locals, the climate should be warm in the winter but not too hot in the summer and we did not wish to live in a bustling holiday resort.

After spending nearly 2 years trawling the internet and visiting possible locations we finally decided on Grand Bahama Island while further research led us to the Shoreline development.

We arrived on GBI and visited various properties for sale to give us a good idea of what was available and what Shoreline would have to live up to. After a few days we finally came to Shoreline and looked around the show home, it was exactly as we imagined and we were extremely impressed with the whole development.

We fell in love with GBI, Shoreline and the friendly, smiling people all around the island, after a short negotiation we put our name on #51. We were very impressed with KST's willingness to make changes to the internal design of the house and everything that we asked for was accepted. Nine months later the house was completed on schedule and the relatively short snagging list was quickly dealt with, the whole process was indeed as painless as Keith Jervis assured us that it would be.

In October 2007 we moved in and installed the furniture, which was probably the most stressful day though soon forgotten, and then we were able to sit in our lovely new home by the sea and feel very pleased with ourselves. We can only spend a few weeks at a time in our new home and we hate having to leave it along with all the new and wonderful friends that we have made on GBI and most importantly at Shoreline itself. It is a wonderful community that we have been so fortunate to join and we wait with great anticipation for the near future when Shoreline will become our permanent home and we will be able to sit every day on our decks and look out at the luscious gardens, lovely pool, views of the sea
