About this house rental
Baycienda (Bay-see-en-da)- Your hacienda on the bay.
Baycienda is sprawling four-bedroom, three-bath villa on the bay of North Eleuthera, directly across the road from the Atlantic Ocean. The bedrooms are separated from the expansive Great Room by a covered patio as well as a very large open patio. The home has a dock and comes with a 17' foot, center console boat which is included for the duration of your stay for $500. There is also a fresh water spa pool to enjoy. Baycienda is located one mile south of Harbour Island and Historic Dunmore Towne, first settlement and first capitol of the Bahamas. Harbour Island has one of the 10 Best Beaches in the world according to 'Islands' magazine and is only a five minute boat ride away! Enjoy the beauty of Harbour Island without the price tag! Bedrooms totally separate from the living area make this property ideal for large families, parties, or small business conferences. The property is very private, located in secluded whale point, making it ideal for romance as well as quality time. Fishing, spearing, snorkeling, beach picnicking, turtle watching, and stand up paddle boarding are some of the activities you can do from the dock! Our dock can accomodate up to a 42' center console if you are traveling by boat and has 3' of water at low tide.
Your host, Mr. Jones, is a long time property owner in the Bahamas and private pilot who published the Pilots Guide to the Bahamas. He is a fantastic story teller and tour guide for all of the secret spots Eleuthera has to offer! He can direct you anywhere you are interested in going and make a few suggestions. Some of the favorites are the Sapphire Blue Hole, Preachers Cave Beach, and the Hatchet Bay Cave...Eleuthera is full of suprises!

This is a magical place. Most incredible sunsets, lovely great room. Interesting artwork. Unusual building layout. Stunning property with easy access to the most beautiful water full of vibrant sea life that we lost ourselves in for hours. Brenda and Tom are very nice and helpful. They offered lots of excellent suggestions. The only negative is that the property needs TLC, but the hosts are definitely working on improvements. It’s a large sprawling property with much to be done for upkeep. We took advantage of the boat to explore the Pink Sand Beaches and Harbor Island. There were some issues with the boat in the end, but we did get to use it for the adventures we were most excited about. The spectacular Glass Window Bridge is minutes away. Whale’s Point is a short walk down the road and worth the effort. Gregory Town is not far and has restaurants with and grocery stores. In most places, do be prepared to wait for your food, which is delicious, but it’s “island time”! When I booked Baycienda, I didn’t realize just how many turtles we would see. They’re right THERE! I also suggest taking a boat tour to Pig Island and the stunning sand bars.We had a fantastic time and will definitely be back. Locals say “Eleuthera is not for everyone” but I’ll say it IS for us!

Million dollar view, secluded, excellent host, the property is a little dated but did not deter from experience. Great to have boat available for running to harbour island
6 / 10Average·May 2024
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.
