Sand Dollar Cay, Private Island

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

Sand Dollar Cay is one of the islands that forms the harbour known as Little Harbour in the Berry Islands and is directly west of Little Harbour Cay, which lies north of Bond’s Cay. The island offers deep water access, crystal clear waters, and white sand beaches and great elevations.

J. Linton Rigg, in his book entitled Bahama Islands, described Little Harbour thus: Here is the best harbour in the Berry Islands. It is well named, the inner harbour being little, snug, and a veritable hurricane hole.

There are foundations of a stone home on Sand Dollar Cay along with stone paths leading to the beaches. The island has great elevations and the home is set where it will have 360-degree views around the island. The Berry Islands have a great location being just 30 miles to the northwest of New Providence and Sand Dollar Cay is just over an hour away from Lyford Cay by boat.

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
