Bahamian Bliss is Yours to Enjoy at These 8 Oceanfront Vacation Villas

From world-famous resort-lined beachfronts to back-of-beyond cays that summon to mind just about anybody’s vision of a Caribbean paradise, the Bahamas sing quite the siren call, needless to say. And their whitesand strands, reef- and seagrass-floored waters, and smoldering sunsets are yours to savor with a 100 Collection vacation home, thanks to our local partner The Good Life Bahamas.

Below, explore eight standout oceanfront rentals in the Bahamas that could be your very own ticket to paradise via this unbeatable partnership!

Surf House (Exuma)

A bright coastal kitchen with white cabinetry, wood countertops, and modern appliances opens to a balcony with sweeping views of turquoise waters and lush greenery.

8 Guests | 4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms

The dazzling seascapes of Great Exuma will be in full seduction mode throughout your stay at Surf House, a spectacular vacation spread in Hartswell, right on the doorstep of Moriah Harbour Cay National Park. It is, indeed, the play of light (including moonlight!) upon the aquamarine lagoon that helps to set the rhythm of Surf House, plus the sway of the lush green vegetation that nestles this gorgeous Bahamian home.

Along with a private pool, you’ll also enjoy private beach access to ensure whenever-you-want-it communion with warm, lapping waters, plush sand, and the kiss of the sea breeze. And kayaking and paddleboarding among seagrass beds and mangrove channels rich with marine wildlife are readymade activities for Surf House guests.

But the appeal of this place isn’t, by any means, all about the outside: Indeed, the plentiful windows bring the outside into the bright, airy interior. Here you’ll find a lavishly outfitted kitchen—complete with a stove, grill, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and toaster—and four bedrooms, all equipped with air-conditioning. There’s wireless broadband Internet available, plus a TV.

Casa Bella (Exuma)

A luxury beachfront villa with a private pool and shaded cabanas overlooks turquoise waters, with colorful kayaks lined up on the white sand shore.

10 Guests | 5 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Also in Hartswell—which, by the way, is a mere 20 minutes from the Exuma capital of Georgetown, with its shops and eateries—Casa Bella also casts a swoony spell with its sea views. What better place to enjoy those vistas than from the property’s infinity-edge pool and its deck, the outdoor jacuzzi, or the sunset-watching perch of its gazebo?

Those features alone may have convinced you to strongly consider this marvelous five-bedroom vacation house on Great Exuma, but there’s much, much more.

Hosting up to 10 guests, Casa Bella is a fantastic choice for larger group getaways to the Bahamas, with a decked-out kitchen, a dining area providing a spacious gathering space, and an outdoor grill for lazy cooking hangouts and fresh-air meals.

Throw in the fact that kayaks and paddleboards are available at the property—with the inviting expanses of Moriah Harbour Cay National Park and other waterways near at hand—and you’ve got an unbelievable setup!

Ballymena (Exuma)

Plush white lounge chairs line a wooden deck beside a hot tub and infinity pool, overlooking turquoise ocean waters under a bright blue sky.

10 Guests | 5 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Another one of the best villas in the Bahamas for group escapes, Ballymena provides a sumptuous home base in Hartswell on Moriah Harbour. From the pleasures of a fully equipped kitchen—and the services of a private chef available, if so desired!—to the outdoor jacuzzi and gazebo with their straight-out-of-a-dream Caribbean sightlines, this beachfront vacation home provides all the ingredients for an idyll in paradise.

The bathrooms boast such amenities as bathtubs and hairdryers, while the liquid skyline looks absolutely marvelous from the front-row seats offered by the private infinity-edge pool. And your Ballymena accommodations put you a hop, skip, and a jump from both Georgetown and Moriah Harbour Cay National Park, with kayaks and paddleboards ready and waiting to go.

Peeps Cottage (Exuma)

Two white Adirondack chairs sit on a wooden deck facing the calm turquoise ocean, offering a peaceful spot to relax by the shore.

4 Guests | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms

Cupped among murmuring palms, Peeps Cottage is another of The Good Life’s fabulous properties along magical Moriah Harbour: a luxurious but cozy beachfront waterfront hideaway with downright dreamy views out over the glittering flats and green cays.

Tailor-made for a romantic Caribbean escape with that special somebody, or an unforgettable family vacation in the tropics, the cottage offers a pair of master bedrooms—each with its own ensuite bathroom—and a well-appointed kitchen, where you (or your private chef) can prepare feasts to enjoy at the dining-room table or out on the vista-drenched porch.

There’s a TV room for nights-in entertainment, plus an infinity-edge pool, outdoor jacuzzi, and a dock for fishing or simply sea-swooning. You’ll also have convenient access to a marina, with endless boating opportunities right at your fingertips.

Seaclusion (Exuma)

A sandy path with a wooden walkway leads to two white chairs overlooking turquoise waters, framed by palm trees and tropical greenery.

16 Guests | 5 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Offering a sprawling, 5,500-square-foot, open-concept beachfront retreat in the Exuma capital of Georgetown, Seaclusion surely lives up to its name with its delicious tranquility and ocean skyline: a winning combo, to say the least, and with the ample capacity to host large family or friend gatherings, corporate retreats, and other bigger groups.

Soaring ceilings and windows, a comprehensive chef’s kitchen, a lovely shell-stone travertine patio and private pool: Seaclusion will have you and the rest of your party entranced from the moment you step onto the property to the moment you have to (somehow) tear yourself away.

Seabatical (Exuma)

A lush tropical lawn with palm trees and greenery opens to a view of turquoise ocean waters under a clear blue sky.

16 Guests | 9 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Another capacious, open-concept gem within the Good Life inventory, 5,500-square-foot Seabatical gives bigger families and other groups a palatial home-away-from-home along Great Exuma’s Tar Bay: a magical setting, and one backed up by the triple-stacked amenities of this high-end vacation house.

A mere 40 feet from the beckoning seashore, the property claims such note-perfect features as a shell-stone travertine patio, a BBQ grill, an infinity pool, and an enclosed porch—everything you need to soak up the seashore vibes.

With 14-foot ceilings, a chef-grade kitchen, and other interior flourishes, Seabatical provides a straight-line ticket to Bahamian blissing-out!

Sueno de Mar (Exuma)

A cozy outdoor seating area with striped turquoise cushions overlooks a pool and bright blue ocean, where a boat speeds by in the distance.

10 Guests | 4 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Fall under the spell of Grand Exuma’s Moirah Harbour at Sueno de Mar, which composes a beautiful medley of turquoise, deep blue, and green with its sea sightlines, sparkling private pool, and luxuriant landscaping. The ambience and views are out of this world, but you’ll also appreciate the practical creature comforts, from the ready-for-anything kitchen to the snazzy laundry area, anchored by a brand-new Whirlpool washer/dryer unit.

The master bedroom serves up masterly views (not to mention a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with a his-and-her’s sink), while the wooden deck outside encompasses not only that private pool but also a handy-dandy barbecue grill for Caribbean cookouts. What more could you ask for?

Seas the Day (Exuma)

An infinity pool overlooks lush greenery and the sparkling turquoise ocean, with the sun shining bright over the horizon and palm trees swaying nearby.

16 Guests | 8 Bedrooms | 5 Bathrooms

Whether it’s a corporate getaway or a big family reunion, the 5,500-plus-square-foot embrace of Seas the Day puts all that you need for a group idyll in the Bahamas at your fingertips.

Stroll down to the postcard-perfect beach, kick back on the shell-stone patio, or cook up a Caribbean feast in the chef’s kitchen—to be enjoyed in an unhurried, island-vibes sort of way in the roomy dining area, or perhaps al fresco-style. With equal access to the plush sands and the conveniences and attractions of Georgetown, Seas the Day delivers on every front.
