STANIEL CAY BEACHFRONT

Available on request

The brief

The reason to consider it.

This rare oceanfront offering in Staniel Cay features 230 ft of shoreline, placing it among the island’s most desirable waterfront parcels. The property combines three distinct coastal elements: a long sandy beach, an elevated rocky peninsula, and a private sandy cove, all within a naturally protected setting. At the northern end is a beautiful sandy beach, positioned furthest from the runway for maximum privacy, allowing uninterrupted walks and open ocean views with distant yacht passage and aircraft visible but unobtrusive. The central shoreline features a rocky elevated peninsula extending into the ocean, offering panoramic views over Long Beach and the sheltered bay, ideal for a porch or gazebo. This elevation screens the sandy cove and provides an ideal location for a private dock extending into the bay. The remaining shoreline includes a protected sandy cove with calm waters and exceptional privacy. The land benefits from an elevated limestone bedrock foundation, providing a strong and stable base for construction. Staniel Cay is easily accessed via Staniel Cay Airport (MYES).

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
