The brief

The reason to consider it.

This charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom cottage is located directly on a crescent-shaped white sand beach in Wemyss Bight on Eleuthera, Bahamas. It offers breathtaking Caribbean sunsets and uninterrupted ocean views from its wraparound covered balcony, making it ideal as a permanent residence, vacation getaway, or investment property.

The cottage is set on 1.27 acres (55,321 sq ft) and features an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area that is bright and inviting. The spacious wraparound covered balcony overlooks the turquoise water, providing a perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing to the sound of the waves. Both bedrooms open onto this covered balcony.

Just steps from the beach, a screened, thatched cabana nestled beneath mature Casuarina trees offers a peaceful retreat for reading or napping while enjoying the sea breeze. The calm, clear water offshore is ideal for swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and boating.

Located in a quiet, established neighborhood, this beachfront cottage is conveniently a short drive from the airport, medical clinic, grocery stores, and restaurants.

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
