The reason to consider it.

Wake up to the sound of the sea at this 3-bedroom, 2-bath oceanfront home on a full acre in peaceful Bahama Palm Shores.

The acreage provides privacy within a quiet, established neighborhood known for its natural beauty. Located in South Abaco, it is near Winding Bay, Schooner Bay, and Little Harbour, along with other small, charming communities that define the area’s authentic Bahamian lifestyle. Bahama Palm Shores is also home to the rare Abaco parrots, often seen and heard throughout the neighborhood.

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
