This property checks all the boxes! Starting with the booking process and initial communication, it’s like no other. Arrival was welcoming, smooth and informative. The house is warm and comfortable with plenty of seating and yummy blankets to snuggle with. The kitchen was absolutely dreamy with everything you need if you are an executive chef or a microwave type of food preparer! The beds are so comfy and the linens were plush and plentiful. The outside is just as exquisite, with a pool that was clean and equipped with a number of floats. My favorite was the private beach and dock with tons of kayaks! We saw sea turtles during one of our adventures. If you are looking for wonderful place to stay, look no further! So grateful for an outstanding host that checked in every day to make sure we didn’t need anything!

The house has everything you could ever need in the kitchen. No need to take beach chairs, floats masks, towels, snorkels or anything. Jack has it all covered, as well as providing excellent recommendations. Check in was super easy and he checked on us often. Loved that we had Netflix, Amazon and plenty of tv options at night too. I can’t say enough about this rental or the Exumas. We will definitely be back!!!

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!

Wonderful location!

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 Santana’s!! We love the Exumas and this was our sixth time visiting. Loved the house and location. We will be back

Incredible Views! Awesome Place!

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!

winter getaway

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.

Perfect stay for our girls trip!

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!

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!!!

Great First Time Exuma Stay

Loved staying at Bahama Island House! Had everything we needed for a relaxed stay. Loved having the kayaks and pool floats, as well as a very fully stocked kitchen. One of the most responsive and helpful hosts I have interacted with which helped us prepare for our trip and make the most of it. Definitely need a car since it's a bit of a drive to get to any stores or restaurants.

This is a MUST STAY!!

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!!

The bedrooms are confortable. There’s 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. It’s a 5 stars rental !

Birthday Weekend Treat

Overall this was a Fantastic Birthday Weekend. This was our 1st time visiting Exuma so everything we planned was on impulse. The house (Island Bahama House) was cozy, clean and beautiful. If you’re looking for seclusion, relaxation and peace….. this is the best choice for you. It is a good distance from the main harbouring towns closest to (Georgetown) however you can get there between 30-40 minutes of everything. Small restaurants and supermarkets are within this same radius. Tropic of Cancer Beach and Santanna’s was approximately 20-25 minutes away via car from the house. The pool and shoreline (beach) at the house were nice however we did not indulge them. The patio /deck was nice early mornings to watch the sunrise and be ONE with God and nature…. Don’t forget your coffee. The owner(s) and staff were very accommodating and continued to check on us, our safety and needs. They were wonderful!!! We will visit again for sure!!!
