The reason to consider it.
Marnie’s is a private residential community comprised of forty-one spacious parcels of land. Located on the southern end of Elbow Cay, each of the approximately half-acre staggered lots offers calming views of the Sea of Abaco, beach access, and lush vegetation. Paved roads, underground utilities, and a private slip in a protected marina round out the amenities of these esteemed lots, which are just a short golf cart ride away from some of the island’s most notable bars and restaurants. This particular property includes a pool and separate pool cottage, which have not been repaired or renovated since Hurricane Dorian—offering a unique opportunity for the new owner to restore or reimagine these spaces. The lot also comes with a private boat slip (Slip 18) providing convenient access to the water and enhancing the lifestyle offered by this exceptional coastal retreat.

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
