The Bahamas Vacation Rentals

Vacation rentals in the Bahamas are often beachside villas with incredible ocean views and direct beach access. You can also find vacation homes in the interior with views of sugar cane fields and mountains.

Journey into the Bahamas

There are a variety of ways to travel to the Bahamas in a comfortable and convenient fashion. If you are arriving by air, The Lynden Pindling International Airport is the largest international hub in the county. Located on the island of New Provence near the capital city of Nassau, the largest metropolis in the country, the airport is only around ten miles away from the downtown area.

From the airport you can get flights connecting to many of the other islands. There are a range of transport options available to reach other locations within New Provence, making it easy to access your Bahamas vacation home, if this is where it is located. From the airport you have the option of taking a taxi or coach to your desired destination, or you can even rent a car for more comfort and a quicker journey. If you are driving, remember that John F. Kennedy Drive and subsequently Tonique Williams-Darling Highway will take you directly into the city.

From Nassau you can also reach other islands in the country by ferries, which depart from the Nassau port and head to locations such as Grand Bahama, South Abaco, and Andros. There are Bahamas vacation rentals on the majority of the islands in the archipelago, as wherever island you decide to head to, you can find a place to call home.

Get Ready for a Spicy Kick and Dig Into Conch Salad or Bahamian Fish Stew

Conch salad is made from raw conch, bell peppers, citrus sauce, tomatoes, and onion. The conch is essentially cooked by the acid from the citrus using a process called denaturation, so it's perfectly safe to eat. And consider yourself warned: the sauces and peppers can be very spicy.

Try Bahamian fish stew, either at a local restaurant or your vacation rental – you'll find the necessary ingredients at the nearby market. Made with fresh fish, this stew has a spicy tomato base with peas and plantain.

Head to Bambu to Dance or Escape the Crowds on a Dinner Cruise

Bambu, in downtown Nassau, is popular with visitors and locals alike. The nightclub's open-air dancefloor and bar overlook the harbour. Get a drink and dance the night away while feeling the soft Bahamian breeze off the water and enjoying the views.

See the islands of the Bahamas on a relaxing dinner cruise at sunset. Several operators offer dinner cruise options leaving from Nassau – choose from an elegant dinner or a party boat.

Go Rum Tasting or Dive at the Exuma Cays

Head to John Watling's Distillery on New Providence Island to taste their spirits. Popular options include rum, vodka filtered with pink sand, and gin infused with plants from Andros. Take a guided tour of the property and treat yourself to pina colada tasting.

Take a boat to the Exuma Cays to experience the clear blue water the Bahamas are famous for. Find a private beach to relax on and experience the water's 30-meter visibility yourself.
