Island vacation rentals in The Bahamas

This place is absolutely fantastic. The garden has access to a gorgeous beach which is basically deserted any time of the day. The house is big and very comfy. The only thing missing is a washing machine for the clothes (which can be a bit complicated especially when you travel with a baby) Otherwise our 2 weeks stay have been a dream and Rick has been really reactive to any questions we had. Another great thing is a big notebook with all the tips and adresses at disposal in the house. You have everything in it and certainly don’t need anything else to explore the island.

Lillian’s Bungalows is one of the first things we booked when going to the island for a vacation and thank goodness we had it as our home base. This place is amazing with beautiful large rooms, comfortable beds, a kitchen with everything you need, the perfect porch for morning coffee, laundry at your disposal, the little touches of extra hats, bags, and towels- it truly was perfect. The property is a short walk to the nearest beach, nearby Seagrapes for great breakfast and any of your alcohol needs, and between restaurants and the clubs that made it easier for us to get around the island. To top all of that, Bev and Jim, as well as Stephanie and Randy, were extremely responsive, proactive, friendly, and made our trip a breeze. Highly recommend Lillian’s Bungalows if you are looking to come to Green Turtle Cay- you won’t regret it.

We had a great stay at Rainbow house. Bedroom set ups were perfect for our guests. Great location at Stella Maris, close to the airport and we were able to explore the island.

Tajas beach apartment is a casual rustic small one bedroom in an amazing spot on a very private beach with a great deck on the beach to relax on. Morning sunrises and late night star gazing are both amazing. Walk minutes to two more spectacular beaches, French Leave and Twin Coves. Walk or drive into town for good food and local ambiance. Hosts are very helpful. Friday fish fry was fun. Island beach hopping a must. Loved our stay on this beautiful, quiet island where nature is the main attraction, people are friendly and helpful. Would go back!

This is our second visit at White Ocean Coral, and you cannot beat the direct beach location and incredible views from every room! Home is clean, private, and with the amenities you need for a proper vacation. Excellent communication with the caretaker and owner of the home, and if you’ve been to Cat Island, you know how special it is. You can stroll the beach right in front of the house and not see anyone, it’s like your own private piece of paradise. We feel so lucky to have found this home and will be back!

All was great. WiFi had a little to be desired. It rarely worked. Fix the exposed nails in the outdoor shower. Everything worked wonderfully.

Where to start… this place is truly special. If you’re looking for a fancy resort this isn’t it, but if you want your own private insane white/pink sandy beach, local charm, and serenity this is your vacation. We were there 6 nights and saw one other person on the beach the entire time. We walked on the private beach 2 miles every morning followed by a swim in the ocean and a shower in the outdoor shower loaded with local shampoo and body wash made by a teacher on the island. We walked to pascals and had dinner and hung out with Sammy, and searched for other beaches only to realize ours was the best. It rained and we played cards inside our romantic cottage and listened to the waves. This is a special place and we will be back.

The house and property: Peaceful. Pristine. Private. The host: Friendly. Knowledgeable. Responsive. Our family had a wonderful time at House Marlin! Cathy is a friendly, responsive, knowledgeable host. Check-in was easy. The house is clean and had all the amenities our family needed. We were steps from the beach and our kids loved the pool.

Our stay at Ryan’s Ocean View met every expectation we had of a tropical reprieve from a cold Maine winter. The house is spectacular with incredible views of the ocean and beach. We regularly walked and explored the beach on our way to a swim. The design of the house is perfect for 4 people to share but has enough spaces for anyone looking for solitude. We took full advantage of the wraparound porch and the hot tub. Long Island is a gem. We explored many back roads and were almost always rewarded with incredible endless beaches with not a human in sight! We had multiple snorkeling experiences which is always magical, Dean’s Blue Hole, Compass Rose and Columbus Point. We visited Hamilton Cave and had a lovely and informative tour from Mr Cartwright and his wife, visited the northern end of the island and the southern end too. The host, Bill, was easygoing and responsive and pleasure to work with.

Our trip at Nature's Delight in Crooked island was exceptional. The neighborhood was as described; "sparsely populated and very quiet"! This was to our liking. We enjoyed trips to the beach and quiet time on the verandah. Our hang out was mostly at the restaurant on site, which became our "watering hole" Barbara and Dave, the owners, were very accommodating and entertaining. The meals prepared were scrumptious and had that island flare! Here we met members of the community like Simon and Devanno who were truly entertaining. We also met the island's Administrator and the Chief Councillor of Acklins, a nearby island. The accommodations were clean and tidy. Covid regulations; social distancing and disinfecting, were practiced all around us. Dave took us on a fishing trip, and we were able to enjoy our catch for dinner. Can't wait to visit Crooked Island and Nature's Delight again!

Great cottage on Lubbers, very peaceful and nicely redone. Easy to run over to Hope Town & other nearby cays daily. We kept our boat at the Lubbers Marina the entire trip due to high winds and had no issues at all. Comfortable bed, good AC and Starlink WiFi worked fantastic for remote work and streaming. Hosts were quick to respond to questions and very helpful.

Centrally located to both the north and south ends of the island. Close to the primary gas station and food store. Great view of both the Atlantic and Caribbean sea.

Best place to be in the Exumas!! Excellent experience, thanks again Ann!

If you're looking for a Bahamas getaway, you've found it at Kestrel Cottage. The space is fresh, clean and inviting, and the hosts are very friendly. You'll have everything you need to relax and be comfortable in this charming beach villa. The kitchen is extremely well stocked with equipment and cooking essentials. Lots of fresh towels and linens. The views and breeze are amazing. Walk down to the dock for a swim in the ocean and enjoy a refreshing outside shower afterward. A short walk to Pete’s Pub & Gallery, or utilize one of the kayaks to paddle over. Dock your boat right out your backdoor to easily explore the rest of the Abaco Islands. We’ll definitely be back!

Jim aptly named Serenity as it is the essence of a peaceful escape. Why this cabin isn't featured among the top AirBNB's is surprising as I have spent hours pouring over listings to find places as secluded or private as Serenity. Where else can you find miles of beautiful beach with only your own footprints on it? There is one other home about a half mile down the beach but nobody appeared to be there during our stay so we had miles of sand all to ourselves with no prying eyes. The cabin itself was a lovely space, and we had no issues adjusting to solar and found that with even limited sun, plenty of power was produced to run the fan, hotplate, lights, and keep our devices charged. We had no issues with bugs as even light winds seemed to keep them at bay. The kitchen had all the basics and the market is a very short drive, although food prices in the Bahamas are about 3-4X that of the US. My only complaint is that it's difficult to escape the sun and in the morning hours.
