Comment “King's Crown” for booking info!

Set on the bay side of Harbour Island, King’s Crown feels like a private resort. With eight ensuite bedrooms, it balances space and privacy for big groups, retreats, or multi‑family trips.

A showpiece 75‑foot lap pool anchors the outdoor living areas, alongside a hot tub and wide bay views. Indoors, you’ll find spaces to gather—open common areas plus a rec room for downtime—so the home works as well for connection as it does for escape.

When you’re ready to explore, you’re on one of the Bahamas’ most iconic islands, with easy access to Pink Sands Beach and the shops and restaurants of Dunmore Town.

These are the kinds of escapes we love facilitating for guests who book with The Good Life Bahamas.

Those strange monuments you sometimes see rising above the Bahamas are remnants of an era when salt was one of the islands’ most valuable exports.

Before refrigeration, salt was essential for preserving meat and fish during long voyages. The Bahamas had the perfect ingredients for producing it naturally: shallow coastal ponds, intense sun, steady wind, and long dry periods.

The process was surprisingly simple. Seawater was directed into shallow salt ponds, or salinas. The water was then cut off and left to evaporate under the Bahamian sun. As the brine became more concentrated, salt crystallized on the bottom, where workers called salt rakers collected it, dried it, and carried it to waiting ships.

Why the monuments?

Ships approaching these low, flat islands needed something visible from offshore to tell them where the salt ports and safe loading areas were. Tall stone beacons became giant landmarks in a landscape where very little else rose above the horizon.

One of the best preserved examples is the Salt Beacon near Williams Town on Little Exuma. The tall Tuscan-style column overlooks Exuma Sound and the old salt ponds, and once guided vessels coming to collect salt from Little Exuma’s salinas. Today you can still stand beside it and look from the old salt-producing landscape out toward the sea where those ships would have approached.

Then there is Stocking Island’s Beacon (the one in this video), commonly called the Salt Monument. Sitting high above Elizabeth Harbour, it was once used as a navigational beacon and is now one of the best hikes around George Town.

The Stocking Island hike is the one to do for the view. Trails cross beaches, dunes, tropical vegetation, rocky terrain, and hidden coves before climbing toward the beacon. From the top you can look one direction across Elizabeth Harbour and Great Exuma and the other toward the open Atlantic. It is one of the rare places where you can really see how narrow Stocking Island is and how dramatically different the protected harbour and ocean sides can be.

The Little Exuma Salt Beacon is the better stop if you want the history. The Stocking Island Beacon is the better choice if you want the hike and panoramic views.

Neither serves its original navigational purpose today, but both remain as reminders of a time when the Bahamas’ shallow ponds, sun, and salt helped support an entire maritime economy.

Vacation with us in The Exumas. We boated here from Surf House, one of our favorite island rentals. Comment “Surf House” for details.

This location is tricky to reach if you are not an experienced Bahamas boater. The banks are shallow, the routes change with tides, and the easy looking water can hide sand and coral heads. We recommend going with a captain who knows the cuts, the tide timing, and the safe approach. When you book your vacation rental with The Good Life Bahamas, we can connect you with trusted local captains to bring you out here the right way.

The scene
The Exumas were used for the Isla Cruces beach sequences in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, including iconic beach fight moments. The reason they filmed here is simple: the sandbanks create that endless white runway look, with turquoise water on both sides and nothing modern in the background.

Why the sandbanks exist
The Exumas sit on a massive shallow carbonate platform. Over time, tides and currents move bright white carbonate sand into long bars and flats. At low tide, sections of these sandbars rise above the surface. At higher tide, they sit under inches of crystal-clear water. Sunlight bouncing off that pale bottom is what creates the unreal mint to electric blue gradient you see in the video.

How to enjoy it
Go at the right tide so you actually get the walk on water effect. Bring water shoes, plenty of drinking water, and sun protection. Keep it simple: wade the flats, take photos, float in shallow warm water, then add a snorkel stop on nearby coral heads if conditions are calm and your captain recommends it.

The safest way to do it
Let a local captain handle navigation, tide timing, and anchoring. That is the difference between a magical half day and a stressful one.

If you want to build a day like this into your Exuma trip, message us your dates, group size, and budget. We will place you in the right home and connect you with the right people to make it happen safely.

Comment “Towne” for info.

Downtown Nassau is entering a new phase. With recent changes at the Ministry of Tourism, Tourism Minister Glenys Hanna-Martin has put renewed emphasis on revitalizing Downtown Nassau while creating more opportunities for Bahamian ownership and investment in tourism.

Current plans include upgrades to lighting, paving, signage and landscaping along Bay Street, continued removal of derelict buildings, new green spaces and public plazas, and efforts to attract mixed-use projects combining hospitality, retail and residential development. The government has also announced plans to explore grants and low-interest financing for Bahamian entrepreneurs and property owners investing downtown.

That makes the location of The Towne Hotel particularly interesting.

Located at 40 George Street in the heart of Downtown Nassau, this 46-room, turn-key boutique hotel is already operating with an established clientele and team in place. The property offers 6,460 square feet of floor space on an 8,844-square-foot parcel and has been part of downtown Nassau since 1954.

Location is one of its biggest strengths. The hotel sits steps from the U.S. Embassy, government offices and hospitals, with Bay Street and Nassau’s historic downtown surrounding it.

And major investment has already happened nearby. The $300 million redevelopment of Nassau Cruise Port transformed the downtown waterfront, expanded the port to six cruise berths, and added more than 60 retail and food outlets, cultural attractions, entertainment space and a new waterfront experience.

For a buyer interested in Bahamian hospitality, this is an operating boutique hotel positioned directly inside an area the government is actively working to make more residential, walkable, active and economically vibrant throughout the day and evening.

Comment “SHORELINE” for booking info!

Shoreline Flats is a renovated waterfront vacation rental on the bonefish flats of Great Exuma, set up for easy Bahamas travel and quiet days outside. It’s sized for a couple, friends, or a small family vacation with 4 guests, 2 bedrooms, 2 beds, and 1 bathroom.

The whole point of staying here is what’s right out front. The home has direct beach access, so you can step out, wade into the flats, and settle into that calm-water Exuma rhythm that makes a Bahamas vacation feel completely different from anywhere else.

If you want the “do something every day” kind of vacation rental, the page lists kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, and bone fishing as right-outside-your-door activities. Sunset time is built in too, with an outdoor seating area made for winding down after being on the water.

Back at the house, you have the practical comforts that keep a trip smooth: Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor grill with a seating area, and beach essentials like towels and chairs.

When you want to explore more of Great Exuma, the listing notes it’s a short drive to Georgetown/George Town for shopping and dining, which makes this a simple base for mixing quiet beach time with town stops.

Want to lean into the flats? The listing also mentions options to rent a 16’ Ankona microskiff and that concierge can set up a bone fishing adventure in these flats, plus booking a car to explore.

These are the kinds of escapes we love facilitating for guests who book with The Good Life Bahamas.

Comment “NOTOS” for booking info.

Notos Cove is a newly transformed waterfront retreat in Nassau designed for groups who want beach access, private wellness amenities, and room to settle in. The listing accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 rooms, 6 beds, and 5.5 baths.

Outside, a private heated pool and outdoor hot tub create two easy ways to unwind. The property also offers beach access just steps away and is classified as beachfront, waterfront, and ocean view.

The home also includes a private fitness room, high-speed Wi-Fi, air conditioning, ceiling fans, washer and dryer facilities, parking, and a private porch. Optional housekeeping is available as well.

For group meals, the outdoor dining area and grill make sunset dinners easy, while the listing also notes complimentary airport pickup to help make arrival smoother. Since the page does not spell out the exact transfer conditions, those details are best confirmed at booking.

Notos Cove is a strong fit for families or friend groups looking for a modern Nassau base where pool time, beach access, fitness, and easy evenings at home can all be part of the same stay.

These are the kinds of escapes we love facilitating for guests who book with The Good Life Bahamas.

Comment “Skyline Drive” for listing details.

Located in Skyline Heights, this Nassau estate sits on nearly one acre of landscaped property with 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a private pool, and approximately 7,416 square feet of space.

What makes this property especially interesting is the layout. The estate includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom main house, a separate 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom guest house, and an additional 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom staff or guest cottage. That gives families flexibility for multi-generational living, long-term guests, staff accommodations, or simply more privacy between different parts of the household.

The main home includes an open-plan living and dining area, a spacious kitchen with a breakfast nook, a study, a guest powder room, and a separate sitting room with its own entrance.

The outdoor space gives you room that is increasingly difficult to find in Nassau. The property includes a private swimming pool, mature garden space, covered parking, storage, and plenty of room for pets and outdoor living.

The home is also unusually well equipped for island efficiency and backup utilities. PV solar panels, a solar water heater, propane appliances, a large generator, and a private well all help reduce dependence on traditional utilities and add another layer of practicality for full-time Bahamas living.

Skyline Heights itself is a quiet, tree-lined residential area, giving you a more private setting while still keeping you centrally positioned in New Providence.

For a buyer looking for space, multiple separate living areas, a pool, nearly an acre of land, and the flexibility to accommodate a large or multi-generational household, this is a property worth seeing in person.

Comment “ISLAND TIME” for booking info.

Island Time is a brand-new beachfront home on Flamingo Bay, Great Exuma, built for groups who want the beach, pool, and water activities all in one place. The listing accommodates up to 12 guests across 4 rooms, 6 beds, and 4.5 baths.

The bedroom layout gives larger groups useful flexibility. Two primary suites have king beds, ocean views, and spa-like bathrooms, while the other two suites are described as having king beds and bunk-bed setups—making the house especially practical for a mix of adults and kids.

Outside is where Island Time really earns its name. There’s a private heated pool with a tanning ledge, a gazebo, a grill, and beachfront access just beyond the outdoor living area. The villa also provides kayaks and paddle boards, so getting onto the water doesn’t require leaving the property first.

Inside, a high-end kitchen connects with spacious living and dining areas designed for the whole group to spend time together. Wi-Fi, air conditioning, washer and dryer facilities, beach chairs, and optional housekeeping add practical comfort throughout the stay.

The location is another major advantage. The listing places Sandals Emerald Reef Golf Club 4 minutes away, Emerald Bay Beach 7 minutes away, Coco Plum Beach 11 minutes away, and George Town International Airport (GGT) about 15 minutes from the house.

These are the kinds of escapes we love facilitating for guests who book with The Good Life Bahamas.

Vacation in Moriah Harbour Cay with us.
Comment “Foster Hill”

What makes these mangrove forests so special?
For one, the canals form a natural lazy river. You can pull right up by kayak, hop into the crystal-clear water with your snorkeling gear, and drift through a living Bahamian forest teeming with life, sea turtles, juvenile fish, starfish, and rays.

It’s one of the safest, calmest ways to experience untouched Bahamian nature. You get the feeling of being completely immersed in the wild, while still feeling peaceful and secure.

These mangrove “lazy river” channels aren’t technically rivers. They’re shallow tidal creeks and lagoons that wind through mangrove wetlands, with the water level and flow driven mainly by the tides. We call it a “lazy river” because as the tide moves in and out, that tidal current creates a gentle flow through the channels that can float you along in a similar way.

We offer many vacation rentals in kayaking distance from these channels. Comment "Foster Hill" to browse some of our favorite options.

Comment “Foster Hill” for booking info.

Peeps Cottage is a waterfront stay at Foster Hill in Great Exuma, set just steps from the white sand with open views over Moriah Harbour. It sleeps up to 4 with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 2 beds, and both bedrooms are set up as master suites with ensuite bathrooms. It’s a great fit for two couples or a small family that wants real privacy without a huge footprint.

The layout is built for slow mornings and easy routines. There’s a cozy TV room for wind-down time, a fully equipped kitchen for cooking at home, and the option for cleaning and laundry services during the stay. If you want the week elevated, arrangements can be made for a private chef, a massage, and boat tours.

Outside is where the house wins. The infinity edge pool feels like it melts into the sea, and the heated whirlpool bath is made for nights after the sun drops. There’s a dock for starry hangs, morning coffee, and handline fishing with the kids, and you can relax at the end of the dock with the water right in front of you. The home also offers access to a marina where you can keep a small boat if you want to explore the nearby waters.

Peeps Cottage is part of the Foster Hill collection, made up of four distinct homes nestled side by side around a private marina. The marina connects the homes into a shared sense of place with your boat docked just outside and the ocean always within reach, and the beach is secluded and just steps from your door. With multiple houses in the collection, you can scale up or down based on group size and still stay in the same private pocket of Exuma.
