The reason to consider it.

Each level is complete with a living area, kitchen and dining space, bedroom with w/i closets, and bathroom, plus plenty of outdoor living space on wrap-around decks. Both levels are finished in durable cypress T&G on the walls and ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, and vinyl-clad double-pane windows; each level has its own split system air conditioner and water heater. There is a large 17,000-gallon rainwater cistern. The property includes a double-car garage and a boat/garden shed. Beautiful coconut trees and other mature trees are on the property. Included are most furnishings and all kitchen appliances, washer and dryer. Turtle Cove beach is just a few steps away, and a short ½ mile walk to Dean’s Blue Hole.

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
