Take a break and unwind at this peaceful oasis. After a complete restoration we are thrilled to present The Bahama Island House. Every inch of this property has been thoughtfully improved to create a comfortable oceanfront experience. Nestled in Little Exuma, The Bahama Island House has floor to ceiling views of the turquoise sea and unbeatable Caribbean sunsets. A quick kayak to Moriah Harbour and within miles to the best restaurants. Take a dip in the pool before heading to the dock to enjoy the amazing view!
Our stay at the Bahama Island house was outstanding. It was a perfect set up and location for several families and young children. Jack was an exceptional host with great communication and recommendations on where to shop, what to do on the island and provided all the local contacts which was very helpful! The house and pool were fully stocked with everything you could possibly imagine! The use of the pool and kayaks to the lazy river was awesome. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our stay and vacation to the Exumas! We would highly recommend and stay here again!
The house is so spacious and the kitchen had everything you needed, including spices. Jack is a very attentive host. He provided suggestions/options of things to do. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check out!
BIH is a beautiful location to stay in Exuma. Very close (a few mins drive) to amazing beaches and 20 minutes to town. Kayak to Moriah Harbour and Lazy River. House was well equipped for beach days away from house, snorkeling and cooking at home. Very responsive owner/staff communication. Gave 3 stars for listing accuracy as pictures and description said sandy beach adjacent to pool and there was not a sandy beach. House is located on the water and you can get in the water but there is no sandy beach for kiddos to play in. I hope the listing is updated to reflect this change as it impacted our 9 night stay with young children and limited mobility grandparents.
We stayed two weeks at this property. You NEED two weeks, if possible, to enjoy the Exumas. Bonefish were just outside the door if you are interested in flyfishing. The view is amazing. The house itself has everything possible to make your vacation enjoyable. We spent most nights cooking as the view was awesome. We had a couple of hiccups which Jack and his crew were instantly responsive. Amazing! Tropic of Cancer really close by as well as Santanaâs!! We love the Exumas and this was our sixth time visiting. Loved the house and location. We will be back
The house was perfect, tons of space for our family vacation(4 adults & 5 kids). Property manager and owner were very welcoming and responsive. Views from the back deck were amazing. Everyone loved kayaking off the beach at the house.
We loved our stay at the Bahama Island House. The host was in touch with us for weeks leading up to our trip helping answer questions about the island, transportation and getting us in touch with local contacts. The check in process was smooth and the house was super clean. Plenty of towels and linens and a well stocked kitchen. The house is exactly as shown in the listing but the view is even more beautiful! The pool was well maintained and we were even able to take the kayaks out to a national park. 10/10 home and would recommend for any group!
Location of the house great, super private. View is of the interior not the open ocean, looking toward bonefish flats. This was a fun change for us. The pool, dock, decks, and outdoor spaces were well taken care of. The pool was also fully functioning and very clear which seems to be rare in exuma. The interior was well laid out. The only knock is the bathrooms are pretty tight quarters with both jack and jill doors opening in to them.
Just returned from a week long stay at the Island House. The property is as advertised and Jack is an absolute pro as a host. He gave us all the insights on the island and made our trip so much better.
Will be back!!!!
Had a great stay at the Bahama Island House. The place was clean...kitchen had all the stuff you need to cook, bathrooms were clean with toiletries, beds & pillows were comfortable. Outside space was private, clean & secluded. We felt like we were literally the only ones there! Enjoyed kyacking & Theo helped us out with a boat! Jack, ( the owner), was so helpful & kind. He sent us so much information that we needed. The locals are so kind also. Had a great stay! Will definitely be planning another stay here. Thank you Jack for everything! It was wonderful!!!
Absolutely incredible views! The house was beautiful and very clean. The property manager Luke met us when we arrived which was very refreshing! He showed us the property and told us the places for groceries, dining out, boat rentals etc.. This property came with new kayaks and paddle boards too! Love love this property and will definitely be back!
10/10 recommend. The house is beautiful. Directly on the water. The owner is great at giving you tips and ideas on things to do. If/when I go back I would stay here again!!
We had a great stay here for 7 days in March. The weather thankfully was fantastic. The home itself was perfect for our group. It was well equipped with everything and extremely clean. We had two chef meals prepared at the house and was perfect for that. The views and watching the sunset from sitting on the couch were incredible. The kids enjoyed the kayaks and being able to float around to the Lazy River. It's in a great location on little Exuma about 12mins to Tropic of Cancer beach which is stunning. The hosts were extremely helpful and provided a ton of information on things to do. Jack was fantastic and kept in constant communication. I would highly recommend staying here and hope to again one day! There are several restaurants not too far from this house - Blu, Santana's, Mom's Bakery etc. Fantastic location if you don't want to be in the middle of Georgetown, extremely peaceful and quiet. You won't regret staying here!
Jack's place, The Bahama Island House, is a must. His rental was clean, spacious, and with a beautiful view of the bay. Jack and Luke communicated great throughout the entire stay making sure we were doing well, enjoying ourselves, and making sure we had everything we needed. He even supplied an entire list of great local restaurants, sights, and must-do's. The accommodations were great. We stopped by the butcher shop and grocery store to pick up some food for the week and enjoyed the home. The rental providing kayaks was great. The kayaking into the bay was absolutely amazing. We even had a private in-house massage by one of their recommended masseuse, which was great. We would all recommend Jack's rental and would definitely stay again!! 10/10!!
Our family had the most amazing vacation! Exuma is beyond fabulous, but so was the Bahama Island House. Check-in was smooth, the house was immaculate, the pool was perfect! But the view was probably our favorite part. We used the kayaks almost daily for exploring. The kitchen had everything you need to cook meals. Jack and his team were super helpful with suggestions of places to go and things to do. We can't wait to go back and would definitely stay in this house again!
Our family enjoyed staying in this gorgeous home! We cooked most of our meals and the kitchen had all the supplies we needed! The blender was broken and Luke delivered a new one the next day! The open living space over looking the beautiful water was just what we needed after a Long Beach day! We loved being able to use the kayaks to visit "The Cut"!
The house is beautiful, with a large living area and a nice view. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, modern appliances, water fountainâŠetc. We enjoyed canoeing around (there are 12 canoes accessible right down the house), nice swimming pool and well designed external showers. The bedrooms are confortable. Thereâs enough space to park several cars in front of the house. Adding to the perfectly designed house, John is a very nice host, very responsive to our needs and sharing useful tips. Itâs a 5 stars rental !
Great place to stay with older active kids that like to kayak and fish. House was nicely remodeled. Deck pool area very nice. Owner communicated during our stay about weather alerts and street flooding.
Property manager helpful with questions.
Jack and his team were excellent to work with. They are very responsive and we staying in communication throughout the trip. The house is made to entertain and host! Its a chef's kitchen with excellent amenities you will not expect in most VRBO locations. The property is mint and will be a relaxing place to stay. We even cooked at the house one night due to how nice the cooking setup was for us. Very quite and peaceful location for sure!
The adults & kids had a great time staying at The Bahama Island House. From the time of booking & throughout our stay communication was outstanding. Jack & his team were very responsive to anything we needed & were very helpful as it related to suggestions / recommendations. The house was loaded with everything you need - kitchen supplies, coolers, beach chairs, snorkling gear, life jackets, kayaks & more. The water access & having a dock made the boat & jet ski rental a lot of fun. Being able to explore places like Stocking Island & Sand Bars via boat / ski made the Exuma experience that much better.
We had a blast fishing in the Exumas for our annual guys fishing trip. The house has everything we needed to make the trip a success. We took the kayaks out and did some snorkeling in front of the house. The house was very clean and the pool was refreshing after a day on the ocean. I have stayed in lots of VRBOs and I can say that Jack is the best host Iâve ever had. He was extremely responsive, gave great recommendations, and was very helpful in making our trip a success. Would highly recommend this property!!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Used the kayaks daily. The dock was perfect for renting jet skis. House was clean, well furnished and equipped. Enjoyed the pool and deck. Fantastic communication from the owner and property manager, before and during our stay. Only downside was the no-see-ums (bugs) at night. Limited our time outdoors after the sunset. Will definitely consider returning.
We have been to Exuma over a handful of times and Bahama Island House is are favorite stay by far. The home is fully equipped. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook, bake, or grill. The bathrooms are stocked with toiletries. The bedrooms have smart TVs and comfy beds (kings for the adults and a bunk room for the kids). The living room couch is so comfortable to unwind, after a day of adventuring. The house came with beach chairs,towels, snorkel gear, coolers, life jackets, kayaks and even kid kayaks.
We rented this house with friends for a week for my 40th birthday celebration and we cannot say enough good things about the house! Itâs stocked with anything and everything you can think of and itâs decorated so beautifully. It is very clean and the beds are comfortable. There are plenty of kayaks, snorkel gear, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels and everything in between. The location is perfect, in a quiet area, and photos do not do the beach/ water justice. The owner, Jack, will go out of his way to make sure youâre loaded with information about the island and the house! We cannot wait to return to this beautiful home.
