getting here

We are only 180 miles due east of West Palm Beach (a one hour flight) and 90 miles north of Nassau.  There are daily direct flights from Florida and Nassau to Marsh Harbour. Delta Airlines offers a non-stop flight from Atlanta to Marsh Harbour.

 

  After clearing customs in Marsh Harbour, you will take a 20 minute taxi ride to the Ferry Terminal. Both G&L Transportation and Albury's Ferry Service run ferries between Hope Town & Marsh Harbour. The ride to Hope Town is approximately 20 minutes. Once on board tell the ferry driver that you are staying at Gazebo Villas and ask to be let off at the Lower Public Dock.  Our property manager will meet you at the dock and escort you to Gazebo Villas.
