Staying at the Bahamas Island House was a dream! Leading up to our travels and throughout our stay, Jack and his team were super helpful and communicative. They provided recommendations for activities as well as tips & tricks to make our travel smooth. The house was perfect for the 3 of us but I could see how a large group would also be very comfortable there. The kitchen was stocked with every supply imaginable and made it super easy for us to cook every day. The setting is private and serene. Floating in the pool for hours was divine! Little Exuma has the best beaches! (Tropic of Cancer, Pretty Molly Bay) I was surprised how empty they are but also felt lucky that they were just a quick drive from the house. It made getting up to watch the sunrise at Forbes Hill beach very easy! Thank you Jack!!

We had a wonderful time at Bahama Island house. The house is so well appointed that there is nothing extra that you will need. The views are stunning. The pool is the perfect size and there is ample outdoor space to enjoy. The house is perfectly located so you can visit beautiful beaches on little Exuma but also get to Georgetown easily. The house manager and the owner were in contact and extremely helpful both prior to the stay and during. We had one small issue when the winds came up that the generator did not automatically turn on. We contacted Jack at around 4:30 in the morning and by five he had responded and let us know how to reset it. Even though the reset worked on the first try, he still had someone come out to check it to make sure it would be working properly. It's that type of attention to detail that you will see throughout this home during your stay. I came with my husband and my 77 year-old parents and we all agreed that this house over delivered. We would stay here again in a minute and can't wait for our next visit.

Everything was wonderful during our stay in Exuma. Communication was smooth, making the process so easy. If we had any questions or concerns, we had an almost immediate response from Jack. The kayaks provided were wonderful, our group of 9 used them almost daily. The house is completely stocked with all things, including beach items such as chairs, coolers, and goggles. I would highly recommend you give this place a look. Our party of 9 was very comfortable and had everything we could possibly need! I intend to be back very soon. Thanks Jack!!!

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!

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!!!

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!

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!
