Stay at Bacienda

Tom & Brenda were the best hosts. We had the most relaxing time and were able to use the boat to visit Harbor Island. Such an amazing spot to stay.

Pretty property

We enjoyed Tom as a host and his recommendations were great. We stayed two nights. There was no boat or car. We were given half of boat fee back (full would have been appreciated). The house was large but the missing boat and car was a bit disappointing as those were amenities we wanted. We didn’t have hot water during our stay. Would recommend.

A True Bahamian Property

We’ve been vacationing in the Bahamas for 36 years, 1 to 3 visits per year, and we’ve owned our own VRBO rental. Baycienda is absolutely the real Bahamian Experience. This home is humble and non pretentious, which is real Bahamian. The community building is a very roomy setting from kitchen to 2 dining tables (6 + 6 seats) and a relaxing family area with TV. The dining tables & chairs are beautifully painted by the hosts. Quality wicker couches and relaxed seating give a true caribbean touch. There are nice touches, from local art to coral walkways and beautiful wood ceilings. If you are planning to cook for many as we did you will be disappointed. The Oven/Stove is difficult to use. The kitchen itself needs renovation. The family room view is spectacular but the sliders (all windows) need a good cleaning.. The bathrooms are also in need of updating and a good cleaning but the bedrooms are comfortable with clean linens. The backyard boasts a variety of indigenous plants that are beautiful and make for an hour of discovery. Every few hours, hummingbirds cruise through the hibiscus plants for nectar. The view beyond is spectacular, made possible by trimmed shrubs and trees, starting with the australian pine lined beach, wide dock and amazing water view. The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure everyone is having fun, from the paddle boards, kayaks, pool, water skis/wake board and sand edge beach. We recommend Baycienda for its beautiful setting.

Amazing!

We had a fantastic week in Whale Point at Baycienda. Tom and Brenda were incredibly helpful including helping us to navigate the challenge of cancelled flights on Christmas Day and chartering alternates with local providers. We had stayed very busy all week and spent 2 days out with Capt. Sanchez to see the pigs/Spanish Wells one day and a beach picnic spear fished by Sanchez himself another day. He was amazing! Our crew of 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 7-14 had an absolute blast at Baycienda and at Eleuthera in general. We hated to leave!

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

House comes with a complimentary car for trips to gregory town for supplies and a boat! For touring the islands, rental cars/vans are available and recommended.
We want to make sure our guests have a full and fun experience and get to explore all that North Eleuthera and closely neighboring Harbour Island have to offer. This is a very unique offering that regulars will tell you, you will not find anywhere else.

Harbour Island is one of the top 10 beaches in the world, but the music stops at 2 am, and the roosters start at 4 am. Baycienda offers seclusion and serenity within a 10 min beautiful boat ride from Harbour Island.

Snorkeling is great right under the dock. There is a small pool that is perfect for a dip or for cocktail hour.
