The reason to consider it.
This 3‑bedroom, 2‑bathroom single‑family home sits on a generous 3,000‑sq‑ft lot overlooking South Cat Island’s pristine, 310‑foot white‑sandy beachfront. The house itself spans roughly 3,000 sq ft, designed to capture sweeping ocean views from every room and a wide balcony that invites outdoor dining.
Inside, the layout is open‑plan with a living area, dining space, and a kitchen featuring black granite countertops, a double‑island bar that seats eight, and high‑end stainless‑steel appliances including two refrigerators, dual dishwashers, a dual‑fuel range, and a wine cooler.
The main bedroom occupies one end of the house, offering a large walk‑in closet and a double‑sink ensuite with granite counters and a glass‑block shower. A bonus room can be converted into a fourth bedroom or office space. The home is built to withstand 200‑mph winds, with hurricane‑impact glass and a deep foundation.
The property includes a 1,800‑sq‑ft covered carport that houses a 2,000‑gallon water storage tank. With its spacious layout, ocean frontage, and robust construction, the house presents an excellent opportunity for a private getaway or a lucrative Airbnb rental.

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
