About this property

Ocean View- and Banks Vacation Spot Awaits You

Ordinary is no place to be. Our villa is located right in the heart of the beautiful Bahamas, in the Exuma island chain. Dubbed 'the crown jewels of the Bahamas' these islands offer a unique retreat that is quiet and serene. The waters are astoundingly pure and the blues shine through unlike anywhere in the world. Many of nearby islands are uninhabited, free for you to land on and explore the pristine white beaches, collect shells and do anything you like.

Whether you like to just enjoy the comfort of the villa's facilities and its beach watching the sun set and rise in the ocean or go around exploring the land and the ocean adventurously, you will surely experience the vacation that is in every way unforgettable.

We gladly welcome every visitor and will cater to your every need from cooking to organizing trips around the islands. There are several powerboats available for rent along with access to a golf cart at a low cost, that lets you explore the area in and around the Black Point settlement and of course the sunfish boat!

Let yourself have the vacation of your dreams just the way you want it!

We loved the place and the location — absolutely beautiful. The convenience store and restaurants are about 1 km away on foot. The beach is incredibly beautiful. The only downside: the host’s employee was supposed to pick us up to take us to the airport on our departure day, but never showed up. Fortunately, two girls passed by and offered us a ride. Otherwise, we would have missed our flight. But aside from that, everything was perfect!

Great location

Duplex perched on a narrow, breezy ridge with wide porch all around and access to secluded ocean beach in front and broad, flat bay in the back with gazebo. Very pleasant 1 mile walk to town with several decent restaurants and small stores; owner will rent a golf cart. Absentee owner but quick to respond to phone requests (rather than Vrbo message). Problematic boat access at house because bay becomes sand flat at low tide (use docks in town) but almost no bugs because of breeze. Kitchen quite usable; excellent internet and cable.

The view from this house was amazing! It was a tough decision when choosing to sit on the front porch with beautiful views crashing on the Atlantic side or the back porch where you saw the beautiful turquoise shades of blue on the Caribbean side. The snorkeling was good along the sides and near the boat docks on the Caribbean side. When we were there the Atlantic side was too rough to get in until the last day. We all enjoyed snorkeling and playing in the waves. You need water shoes toget in and out on the Atlantic side due to the rocks. The people on the island are so friendly and helpful. We went on a boat tour with Breadboy who lives just down the road from the house and rented a boat from him another day. We swam with pigs, saw Thunderball Grotto, feed iguanas, swam with Nurse Sharks on Compass Cay, went to “the bubble bath”, went to the aquarium in the land and sea park, snorkeled a coral reef, went to little Farmers Cay and swam with the turtles (amazing) and had a meal a Staniel cay yacht club. Our guide the day we did the tour was David aka Fatcat.. He was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Breadboy stopped at the house to check on us and when he discovered meats from our grocery order were delayed he had his wife Ressa cook us a wonderful dinner of red snapper. She is an amazing cook! Henry was very efficient even from Nassau were he was vacationing. There were no matches to light the gas stove only empty Match boxes and one of the water coolers didn’t have a water jug. - I sent Henry a message about that never expecting an immediate response but within the hour we had matches and water on a Sunday night. He took care of everything we asked or questioned. Our guide to anyone traveling here would be to place a grocery order with Henry before your arrival. If you want anything fresh like produce, fruit or milk during the week you need to go to one of the 2 small stores and preorder for it to come on the mailboat that currently arrives on Thursday. Rent his golf carts because exploring the island on them is part of the experience. The washing machine on the property takes 2.00 in quarters. Take quarters with because it is really difficult to get them on the island. There are 3 restaurants on the island. You need to place your dinner meal order by 4pm on the day you are planning on going or you have a limited menu to choose from. Get bread from the lady in the White House behind Lorraines. It’s amazing.

Worst stay of the three houses in the Bahamas this year.

Henry was cooperative at first. We asked for a place to put our boat and a good cart to rent. We needed a bigger house so he was cooperative and upgraded the house to his bigger one. We arrived after a long crossing in the boat and he wasn’t available to meet us. He said the golf cart we rented would be at the dock. We arrived, no golf cart. We walked to the house and there were two golf carts. Eventually his caretaker showed up and I asked which golf cart we were to use. He told us to use both. We explained we didn’t need both and he said it’s no problem they are both for your use. One seemed to not be charging so we used the other. The caretaker came by and fixed the charger so we used both depending on what key we grabbed of the counter.. They had the owners name on them so they weren’t outside rentals. We were charged for two golf carts and Henry refused to refund. Then we went to cook and there was not any gas for the stove. We asked Henry and he sent his guy by but the stove only stayed lit for 5 min. We had to cook in the microwave. There aren’t any toiletries so bring everything with you. The dock he told us to use was an extra $250 of you are coming by boat. By the time we paid all the extras we could have just stayed in a nicer place. Don’t expect to be able to use the kayaks or sunfish they are missing parts. The view directly behind the house and next door look like a construction site and although nothing Henry can do about it, you loose power daily. We stayed in the three bedroom house but the original reservation was for the two bedroom which is a duplex. We looked and thankfully we switched because the duplexes are really small. The living area is maybe 10’ X 10’ with a small kitchen and bedrooms. The location is great. A little more effort in catering to guest and not focusing on profit over experience and Henry could have a nice rental business but as of this writing, profits seem to be more inmportant than catering to his clientele.

Need to exterminate, fix shower hot water & pressure, and clean a little better

There was not much water pressure in the shower and the water was warm, not hot. The duplex was not very clean and there were huge cockroaches and tiny roach like bugs that flew everywhere inside the duplex. If you exterminate well, we can visit again...if not, we will not return.

Perfect! The house was clean and moteratley stocked.

Just what we needed. A quite and beautiful Island. Definitely recommend the golf cart rental so you can explore the whole Island. If you are looking for internet I don't recommend; it was never strong enough-you can get it at the restaurants in town. We didn't have time for internet and enjoyed every minute of our vacation. If you are looking for smiling faces and beautiful scenery: Black Point is the place. Everyone on the Island is eager to see that you are enjoying your stay. Groceries are limited so we took ours from Nassau in coolers-it really would have been just as cheap to bring snacks and eat out in the 3 local restaurants! Groceries are very expenses. Over-all this is a vacation I will never forget! Absolutely Amazing!! If you stay in the Villas be sure to get Santos to be your guide for at least a day: We saw the iguanas', swam with the pigs, snorkeled in the cave were James Bond movie "Thunderbolt" was filmed (beautiful fish and coral) and got to pet the sharks!!! Black Point is a small island with big heart! Be sure to check with the local ladies to buy baskets, hats and homemade bread, especially the coconut bread-sooo good! Angela Gaskins

Great location for an Exumas adventure

We had a great time in the Exumas and the duplex was a great place to stay for us. We rented both sides of the duplex and were very comfortable staying there. The amenities are as advertised and the beauty of the Exumas is amazing. The property itself is a bit weathered, but overall clean. Most of our time was spent on or at the water. Henry was great to work with and helped set up the private plane from Nassau to Black Point and back. He also met us at the Nassau airport the first day and gave us a tour of Nassau and took us shopping for groceries (highly recommended to do in Nassau) - above and beyond any other property owner I've worked with in the past. Every night Santos would stop by the house to check in and see if anything was needed. We rented a small boat to explore the Cays and went out almost everyday exploring. Black Point is a great launching place to do this, as the moorings and public dock are accessible and everyone in Black Point is super friendly and helpful with anything you need. Black Point itself is laid back and simple with Lorraine's, Deshemond's, and Scorpio's as the main places to grab lunch or dinner and a few grocery stores (with limited stock) should you run out of something. We found ourselves up at Stainel Cay Yacht Club for a couple meals as well during our stay, but the easy going style of Black Point suited us great for a place to be based out of and we are already discussing going back next year. As the Bahamian immigration officer said when we told him we were going to the Exumas - "OK, I'll see you again next year"

Beautiful view and beach with extremely uninhabitable house

The house was musty and smelled like the windows hadn't been opened in months. The thermostat read 86 degrees. The AC did not function properly till day 3- running constantly. It was freezing for days! The window enclosures were not protected with intact screens so we were unable to open the windows. The unit is held out to be a 2 bedroom which in fact is a 1 bedroom. There is a kitchen with a small love-seat (occupying much of the small kitchen) and table/chairs. 1 bedroom with a closet, 1 bthrm, & 2nd room with a bed and a door leading out to the porch. Where we are from this 2nd rm would NOT be considered a bdrm. The unit is advertised as having Wi-Fi and a land line. The phone was not working our entire stay. The Wi-Fi was also down a significant portion of the time. This was definitely a rental issue bc locals did NOT have this problem. We contacted Henry, rental owner, reg. this issue. He offered the caretakers cell phone but this wasn't available for 24hrs. The 2nd time we asked to use the cell phone he never responded. Two of the 8mornings started without plumbing. No running water or toilet! The bthrm had a stand up shower with a broken shower head. The cleanliness of the home was terrible. There were no cleaning supplies. There was a broom but no dustpan. We showered outside with the hose. We informed Henry that the washing machine wasn't working. When attempting to run a load we found a stuffed washer with sheets & towels being washed by the other rental unit. We were not only unable to wash our clothes but we have since been charged for the damage to the machine. The worst part of the week were the "bug bites" that we thought we were getting every day on the beach. We mentioned to Henry and he said they were sand flies, although sand flies were not normal in January per Henry. My legs alone had over 100bites on each, as did my husbands. Upon our arrival home we saw a doctor who diagnosed both of us with BED BUGS! All of the above was relayed to Henry in an appropriate amount of time. We asked him to relieve us of the rest of our obligation to the rental when we determined that things were not salvageable. This was met with no sympathy. We asked for a buyout of the rental as the house and accommodations were not as advertised, prepared, or ready for inhabitants. All of our requests were dismissed and we were instead told of the freebies we were getting. ie. water, kyaks, broken golf cart.
