Holiday rentals with a kayak in The Bahamas

Spectacular beachfront setting with open ocean views. Very private setting. Although there are other homes on Banks Road it felt like we had the beach to ourselves. Several good restaurants and pristine, sheltered beaches are just a short drive away. Home is partially updated (new appliances, new TV, new outdoor furniture and new covered beachfront deck with 4 lounge chairs) and features a spiral staircase to get to 2nd floor where the 2 bedrooms and a bathroom are located. We were very happy with our stay. Rachel was highly responsive and we would welcome the opportunity to visit again.

We were blessed to go on this trip for my mom's 70th birthday and it did not disappoint! Jim & Mary were both incredibly helpful, communicative, and friendly and they have local support in the area to help you navigate your first day or so if needed. It is important to know that this location is not a tourist destination and you need to be ok driving, cooking, and enjoying their beautiful home and beach front property. The home is fully stocked with what you need to enjoy the water (paddleboards!) and to cook, sleep, and soak up the sunshine. The outdoor shower was a spa experience as you look out at the amazing lush yard. We highly recommend this unique, super-special stay in Eleuthera!

Amazing place to stay in Eleuthera. Absolutely stunning panoramic views of the ocean, and great living space with everything you need. Very well equipped kitchen which is appreciated as we cooked most of our meals, and a gas stove that came in handy as we could still use during an island-wide power outage (there was only one during our stay). Local caretaker (Derrick) was a phenomenal help, even helping my husband and I track down some local fish and lobster to cook. Would definitely stay here again!

Lured Inn is a hidden Bahamas gem! This was our first time to the Bahamas with our family of four - two kids age 9 and 11. Amy was SO helpful from the minute we booked assisting in travel, transportation, and recommendation help. Her proactive communication made getting to and enjoying this tucked away spot seamless. The pictures do not do justice to the stunning property perched on white sands with the cove seemingly to ourselves. We enjoyed a half day trip up the cove to Money Point for snorkeling and leisure, saw many sea turtles swimming in the cove, kayaked, and leisured. Nathan, the grounds keeper, was a sweetheart and kept the beach pristine and the kids hands full of fresh coconuts! We ventured down to Kizzy's for a fabulous island dinner - you MUST get the cracked conch! Two days were spend out on the water with Gandal - fishing the flats for bone fish (SO FUN) and snorkeling the reefs. We had a fabulous stay and would recommend Amy's in a heartbeat!

If it were possible to rate Shannon higher I would. Shannon’s place was neat and had all the amenities including solar and high speed internet. Shannon was great at communication and was extremely responsive. When we checked in she had mangoes and papaya and water waiting for us and she brought over brownies on the second morning and a lovely blueberry cake our third day. Everyday she offered great advice and her guidebook was very informative. The kitchen was fully stocked and we were able to find everything we needed. She also had tons of things in the bathroom. Including razors and shampoo and bug spray which you will need on the islands. I can’t think of anything we needed that Shannon did not provide. She’s a great host.

Our stay in Abaco was beyond perfect! We brought our three young children and Frank did everything possible to make us happy and comfortable. The house is absolutely beautiful and located on a peaceful, serene slice of this world! We enjoyed swimming, paddle boarding, swinging in the hammock, playing in the sand, long walks, grilling, and exploring the rest of the island. Highly, highly, highly recommend!

The location is perfect. Having never been to Exuma, we wanted to stay centrally located. We were able to explore the whole island from Edahlia's. Being right on the beach was awesome! Morning coffee watching the sunrise over the ocean from the deck.... sweet! So many beautiful beaches to choose from! Capricorn Beach in front of the house was always nice. We had it all to ourselves. We always felt safe and the few neighbors were friendly and helpful. These are not deluxe accommodations. If you are looking for that, those are available. You can spend as much as you want. The home was clean and comfortable. We will definitely return to Exuma and Edahlia's place will be the first one we check for availability.

I can’t describe how wonderful this house was because you have to visit to believe it His place was serene, beautiful and so relaxing!! Just what we needed for a week away from the hustle of work!! Just off the beaten path but so worth it and we had our own private beach with snorkel gear, kayaks and floatees!! Will recommend to anyone!! 5 star!!!

This is our second time staying at Buttonwood and it was just as wonderful! The cottage is cozy, clean, and perfectly located. We loved waking up to the ocean breeze and spending our days exploring the island. Marielbys is an amazing host—responsive, kind, and thoughtful. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

We had such a lovely stay at Serenity Cottage. It truly was a serene and beautiful space and location. We loved the close access to the flats for strolling and fly fishing. The house had everything you may need, with comfortable beds and cold air. Cheree and her house manager were both incredibly kind and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Care is the thing that most comes to mind. The care that went into the home before our stay. The care that Torin and Joanne put into everything they do. The care we were treated with during the stay by both. Whether it was a great recommendation for home made pizza,setting up a golf cart for our extended stay or a recommendation to watch a YouTube video to catch up on current events. We truly felt cared and appreciated the conversation so much that we have already booked a return stay. Best equipped vacation home we have ever experienced. Thank you a million times over.

The place is more than beautiful. The property is located on a beachfront lot. The beach itself is really serene, we’ve seen only 3 people on it over the 4 days we’be passed there…. And it was Christmas… The villa is spacious for our party of two and could ideally accomodate a family. You’ll have every accessories you need to spend 2-3 weeks vacation there. We wish we’d book for longer but decided to visit a couple of Bahamian islands on our 10 day visit. There are lots of good restaurants nearby but a car is really a must if you want to reabh them easily. We liked afternoon munches at Potlatch Club, dinners at Bougainvillea and, of course, relax snacks at Tippy’s. Barbara is a great host and did everything she could to accomodate our (belated by the airline company) arrival and departure. Her manager, Winifred, is also really pleasant to deal with and efficent. I definetly would go again and recommend the place.

Thatch Bay Cottage is absolutely beautiful inside and out. We couldn’t have found a better place to stay for a week. The interior and exterior matches the pictures, but the pictures can’t even do the views justice. We hope to come back for another stay in the future. Thanks Che and Glen!

Our stay was wonderful. The beaches are beautiful and many times we were the only two people on the beach. This is a very quiet island a great place to unwind. Henley is an exceptional host. He was on the island as well and shared a lot of information about the island. He even took us on a Sunday drive . The bed was comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we need. We highly recommend this cottage.

Lona is a superstar !!! The best host in Airbnb so far, lots of tips and great flexibility. The house is right in front of the water and have the best views for sunsets ever !!!!!

You know those pictures of places that are advertised as you having a private beach with no one else around? This is that place! If you want peace, rest, and relaxation this spot is perfect. North Andros, as Francine mentions in her description, is truly undeveloped. Her house/rentals are in Nichollstown where you are among the local people. The water is beautiful and warm, the sands are white with lots of shells and sea glass (I collected quite a bit!). We stayed in Sea Glass Villa 1 - beautiful place with many amenities. To get there, you do need to take a puddle jumper from the Nassau airport - its about a 20 minute flight to Andros Island. Zona, the local property manager is your life line for all things. He is accommodating and loves to share the history of his town and family. His wife Bernadette is a fabulous cook! We had several meals made by her and relatives - lobster, conch 3 ways (fritters, crack conch, and conch seviche), and breakfast. Wonderful vacation!! Thank you!
