Serendipity- As seen on HGTV’s Bahamas Life!

RyanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We loved our week at Serendipity! The view from the porch is gorgeous, the interior was comfy and cozy and had everything you needed. The location is central to the island, and the stairs into the ocean were awesome. We hope to be back soon!

Poponi Villa on pink sand Beachfront Estate

StéphaneRating, 5 stars66 months ago
This place is absolutely fantastic. The garden has access to a gorgeous beach which is basically deserted any time of the day. The house is big and very comfy. The only thing missing is a washing machine for the clothes (which can be a bit complicated especially when you travel with a baby) Otherwise our 2 weeks stay have been a dream and Rick has been really reactive to any questions we had. Another great thing is a big notebook with all the tips and adresses at disposal in the house. You have everything in it and certainly don’t need anything else to explore the island.

Beachfront "Sea-horse apartment" at Casuarina Bay

ChristianRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This place is absolutely stunning. The owner is incredibly friendly, the rooms are spotless and well-equipped, and the beach is right in front of the apartments. There are also beautiful cabanas overlooking the ocean, which made for the perfect spot to relax and watch the sunrise. What we loved most, though, was how peaceful and remote the location is - there are very few tourists in the area. We often walked along the beach for an hour without seeing another person.

I travel a lot for work. I always look for peaceful places that feel safe and have beautiful surroundings (in the event that I get to enjoy them on a work trip). Mo was a clear and responsive host. Parking is so easy in this neighborhood. The space is even more spacious in person than I expected. Thanks, Mo!

Seaside Serenity at Lillian's Bungalows

JoshRating, 5 stars6 months ago
This was by far the best Airbnb experience we have ever had. Bev and Jim were great with communication and the Caretakers Stephanie and Randy went over and above to make our stay amazing. If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen was well stocked, with all the pots pans knives and utensils you could need. I cannot say enough great things about our stay. Will definitely be going back and will definitely be staying at Lillian's Bungalows!

Coastal Comfort: Lillian's Oceanview Oasis

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The place was well stocked and included many kitchen utensils we wouldn’t have expected and other finds such as a beach bag and even ice packs. There was even a loaf of fresh local bread provided which was delicious. The location was perfect and we enjoyed the space both inside and out. The only complaint was that we wished we would’ve been able to stay longer. Our group would recommend the stay.
A covered deck is shown, featuring a long wooden dining table adorned with a colorful table runner. Surrounded by wooden beams, the space opens to views of lush greenery and the turquoise waters beyond. Several chairs line the table, inviting meals with a view.

Sundance Beach House, Pigeon Cay, Cat Island

KeithRating, 5 stars13 months ago
Sundance is paradise! The beach is awesome and a very short walk to the beach. The house was perfect for the us which we traveled with another couple. It had two master bedrooms with queen beds and 2 master bathrooms on separate ends of the house. Each bedroom had a French door that opens to the beach. You can literally open the doors lay in your bed and listen to the waves. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. Leslie was very helpful.

Cat's Cove, Pigeon Cay - 2 Acres w/ Private Beach

AnnieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
This was our third trip to the island, and by far, the best stay we've had! Cat was incredibly responsive and provided great insights. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed. The king-size bed was a treat and we loved watching the hermit crabs and lizards roam around daily. The beach was peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling, both of which were fantastic. Power outages were minimal (to be expected on the island), and while water pressure on cisterns can be a bit low, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, we had a perfect week in our favorite place and would highly recommend this property!

Thank you again Mary!!

Venice Island Tropical Oasis w Pool & Spa

Tawnya PRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Katty was a wonderful host! The area was exactly as pictured and described, we had everything one would need. I loved the outside shower! It had a wonderful tropical feel and not worried what so ever about privacy, you were totally alone. We spent evening in the quiet enjoying the peaceful surroundings! Many beaches, activities and excellent restaurants for foodies like me, all within a short drive or walking distance! Cannot wait to visit this Venice Tropical Oasis again! Thank you Katty for sharing your wonderful home with us!

Cayo Loco Beachview Studio Deserted PinkSand for 2

CarolynRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Where to start… this place is truly special. If you’re looking for a fancy resort this isn’t it, but if you want your own private insane white/pink sandy beach, local charm, and serenity this is your vacation. We were there 6 nights and saw one other person on the beach the entire time. We walked on the private beach 2 miles every morning followed by a swim in the ocean and a shower in the outdoor shower loaded with local shampoo and body wash made by a teacher on the island. We walked to pascals and had dinner and hung out with Sammy, and searched for other beaches only to realize ours was the best. It rained and we played cards inside our romantic cottage and listened to the waves. This is a special place and we will be back.
A coastal beach house is observed from the water, displaying a vibrant color scheme and surrounded by palm trees. An American flag and a black flag are seen flying nearby. The scene captures the serenity of an evening sky with a hint of blue.

The Beachfield House on Daufuskie Island

RachaelRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
A great vacation for our family & dogs! Chase’s place is very beautiful, private, and peaceful. The house had most things we needed, the bedrooms were comfy, and seating areas were perfect for a family of 6. Location to the beach was great, however we had a good bit of rain and the private beach access became quite the marsh so we opted for one farther away. We loved exploring the history-rich island in our golf carts and meeting the locals / visiting their shops & restaurants! Pack light and enjoy disconnecting for a bit! You’re on island time ✨

Had an amazing stay here!!! It was so fun and beautiful location. Very cute small house that has everything you need, ac kept us nice and cool and great shower. The backyard was awesome and the water and nature around us was great. It’s about a 15 minute drive from the beach and more with traffic so heads up to others because we did need a rental car get around. There’s lots of wildlife all around which is so cool and soo many bunnies that was a great surprise. I am sad to be leaving!!

JabulaniRating, 5 stars22 months ago
The place was very nice. The pool was the best part. The beach is gorgeous as all beaches are in Eleuthera. I thought there would be a path to the beach without going across the street but you also could drive about two minutes. That was the best way to go. Everything about the house is very good. It was a relaxing vacation.
