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!

Excellent place to stay!!!
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 house is beautiful, with a large living area and a nice view. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, modern appliances, water fountain…etc. 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. 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!!!

Amazing vacation!
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"!

AMAZING property and host
We were debating between this house and another and we are so happy we chose Jack and this amazing property. We were greeted months prior to arrival with all the information and details we could have possibly needed. Then a week prior again with more details for arrival. Once on the island Luke the property manager greeted us with a smile and our groceries at the time we were r arrive at the house. The house was clean, comfortable and pictures were as shown. We had a terrible rain storm think like over your knees in town in some low spots. And when we arrived home due to the wind and rain some leaks were in the living room. Jack was on it with a trustworthy contractor out the next day and for our inconvenience (which there really was none) 2 bottles of wine showed up. When my husband had an ear ache he was right on the ball with recommendations and when we were thinking our flight might be canceled (it was not) he was on the ball with trying to help. I can’t say enough about this host and this house. It was everything. The only thing that I can say bad was my preference of mattress is very soft and these were not. However that is just personal preference and nothing that messed up my trip at all. They were not terrible by any means.

This was our first time to the island and we loved it. It was really nice being close to all the beaches on little Exuma. My kids loved having the pool to come back to at the end of the day after exploring. The house was very well equipped and any question we had was answered. We were provided with so much valuable information before even checking in which helped a ton with planning! Highly recommend!

Great Week in Paradise
We had a group of 6 stay for a week at the end of May. This was our second time to stay near Little Exuma and the Ferry. The house was very clean and had all of the necessities for cooking, beach towels, floats, kayaks, beach chairs etc. all the beds and linens were comfortable. The view is amazing. We enjoyed staying on the sound side of the island this time. Having a pool overlooking the water was a nice addition as well. We made it over to the Cut and enjoyed the Lazy River with the kayaks. Also, went fly fishing for bone fish and tarpon every morning and was able to hook up with 2 tarpon. We enjoyed pretty molly beach and Forbes beach, just a mile or 2 south of the house. We also did a pig and thunderball grotto tour with Sugar Adventures and rented a boat from Minn’s to explore the harbor (highly recommend doing this). It was a wonderful stay and we look forward to coming back!

Literally Paradise!
We rented this house with friends for a week for my 40th birthday celebration and we cannot say enough good things about the house! It’s stocked with anything and everything you can think of and it’s 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 you’re loaded with information about the island and the house! We cannot wait to return to this beautiful home. Jessica Testerman

Great Spring Break!!!
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.

Awesome Stay!
Traveled with a group of 10, including 6 kids 12 and under. This house and location provided us experiences that will last a lifetime! From the house we had easy access to beautiful beaches that often times we had to ourselves. We used the kayaks on day one to go to the Cut or Lazy River which set the tone for our trip. Also had quick access to Forbes beach and the Tropic of Cancer beach. Both were breathtaking! When chilling at the house the kids rotated between the kayaks, pool, and fishing from the dock. Browns marina is a short drive away in which we did a boat tour and a fishing trip. This location is pretty remote but offers all you need. The beds and huge couch were comfortable. Make sure to wear shoes on the deck, if you run around you will get a splinter! We grilled multiple nights and really enjoys sitting out on the dock at night! Great house and an even better location!

Very nice
Overall great house and property. Decorated nicely, living room and back porch great, and great kitchen well stocked supplies. Nice to have a dock and we rented a boat, though its very shallow behind house. Only thing we were surprised was the bathrooms were all jack and jill shared between rooms. (Except one hall half bath). And the water behind the house had a lot of mangrove jellyfish so just be aware of that. So we didnt spend as much time in that water. Short drive via boat or car to ocean side amazing beaches.

Guys Fishing Trip
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 I’ve ever had. He was extremely responsive, gave great recommendations, and was very helpful in making our trip a success.
