A 3,000 sq ft (279 sqm) beachfront single‑family home located in the south of Cat Island, Port Howe. The house sits on a generous plot and offers uninterrupted ocean views from every room, with a wide balcony ideal for outdoor living.
Inside, the open‑plan living, dining and kitchen areas feature granite countertops, a curved double island with seating for eight, and stainless‑steel appliances including dual refrigerators, two dishwashers, a dual‑fuel range, a wine cooler and an ice maker. The master suite boasts a walk‑in closet and a full bathroom with double sinks, granite vanities and a glass‑block shower.

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
