Bahamas Philately: Ocean Spray Guest House

Ocean Spray Guest House was a pretty, pastel pink house owned by Si Moses, located directed across from the beach on West Bay Street. It was constructed in the late 1950s and appears to have opened around 1961. All rooms provided a private bath.

In 1967, Moses sold the guest house to German couple, Ernest and Olga Brokmeier. The house was demolished and replaced by a new building – the Ocean Spray Hotel.
