The brief

The reason to consider it.

Nestled off the highway, this charming two-story Bahamian cottage sits directly above one of the best beaches on Great Exuma. Start your mornings on the back patio with coffee watching the waves, then spend your day enjoying the white powder beach and swimming in the crystal blue water. The lower deck is perfect for a sunbathing siesta and wrap the day on the upper balcony enjoying cocktails before dinner. As you enter the home, you’ll notice slate floors, an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with eclectic styling that feels instantly welcoming. The open concept gives ample space for the whole family to enjoy time together cooking, dining, and playing games while taking in the panoramic Exuma ocean view. Off the living area sits a half bath and garden-view bedroom, while upstairs boasts two oversized ensuite bedrooms with balconies to enjoy the unobstructed beach view. A major bonus feature of the house is its rooftop solar panels. With enough solar and battery backups, you don’t have to fret the electricity bill or power outages.

What people say about Bahamas

Sources agree that foreigners can own Bahamian property outright and that an ordinary home purchase needs a registration filing through a Bahamian lawyer, not a discretionary permit.

  • Positive Foreign buyers mostly register rather than seek a permit; permit applies to large or commercial land
  • Mixed Closing costs are dominated by a 10% transfer VAT for foreign buyers, usually split with the seller, plus legal fees
  • Mixed Annual property tax is being reshaped in 2026 (new foreign owner-occupied category), and Bahamian realtors dispute fairness
  • Concern Vacant land owned by foreigners carries a notably heavier tax until built on
