CATERING TO SAVVY TOURISTS AND EXECUTIVE TRAVELERS
Baycroft Ocean View Condominiums is surrounded by multimillion-dollar mansions on Nassau's prestigious East End. Directly across the street from oceanfront villas owned by royalty and the country's pre-eminent families, Baycroft is renowned for its convenience, quiet intimacy and safety.
A gorgeous, local beach is only a short 90-second walk away. Perhaps you've seen Montagu Beach featured in movies such as "Into the Blue" starring Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious) and Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four).
LOCATION. LOCATION. LOCATION.
Baycroft Ocean View Condominiums sits across the street from shimmering aquamarine Montagu Bay. Just a few steps down the road is a beautiful, sandy beach renown for its family-friendly atmosphere and calm waters. Hungry? Visit Carnetta's Kitchen, a bright yellow food cart parked amongst the waterfront coconut trees. For $8, you can dine on freshly caught snapper, cracked conch or oxtail soup with your toes in the sand and a panoramic view of the Ocean Club on Paradise Island, where James Bond rolled up in his Aston Martin in "Casino Royale."
Ever dreamt of flying through a shark tank in a clear tube waterslide or swimming with dolphins? Rising out of the ocean, Atlantis is only a three-minute drive away. Enjoy the vibrant nightlife, helicopter island tours, luxury spa treatments, a world-class golf course, water rides and the casino.
Divers will love the apartment's convenient location to the best underwater sites as well as the leading tour operators (such as Bahamas Divers). In addition, the condo is just down the road from the ferry terminal where you can easily take day trips to visit neighboring islands.
Downtown Nassau offers world class duty-free shopping with luxury brands such as Chanel, Rolex and Fendi. If you desire local goods, visit the Straw Market where you can haggle with local craftsman to buy everything from guava jelly to colorful straw hats.
Baycroft is central to the finest cuisine the island has to offer, from the five-star Graycliff (the former manse of a pirate captain) to the local fish fry. We are pleased to share some of our favorite restaurants that run the gamut in terms of both price as well as cuisine.
For those seeking a serene oasis adjacent to one of the Caribbean's most vibrant cities, Baycroft offers a truly unique and memorable experience.
DESIGNED WITH EXPERIENCE (AND LOVE)
The owner of this special apartment has visited over ten islands in the Caribbean. But when it came time to buy a second home, the Bahamas was an easy choice. Quite simply, it's one of the most magical places on earth. The color of the sea. The culture and history. The friendly, educated people. The cosmopolitan sophistication blended with a tropical flair. All of these elements, and so many more, make the Bahamas truly special.
While the condo is intentionally rustic to retain its genuine "Bahamian vibe," this space has been tailored to provide guests with a thoroughly enjoyable experience. From the whimsical local art to the state-of-the-art computer docking station, every corner of this apartment has been designed with a careful and exacting eye. We invite you to be our guest at Baycroft!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2008
Baycroft's owner is a successful, internationally recognized consultant and Wharton MBA. He has been widely quoted in publications like The New York Times, Time, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Nikkei, Sydney Morning Herald and U.S. News and World Report. In his search for the perfect condo, this astute owner has visited over ten islands in the Caribbean such as Barbados, St. Lucia, Vieques, Anguilla, Tortola and Bequia.
This condo represents the owner's fifteen year search for the "perfect apartment." He wanted a refuge that was within easy grasp of a quaint, metropolitan city, but was also exceptionally quiet and peaceful. Baycroft is such a place. A tribute to its Bahamian roots, this two-bedroom apartment has a clean, rustic feeling that is blended with modern conveniences such as cable TV, high speed Internet access and a tankless hot water heater.
Why the Owner Chose Nassau
Baycroft is located on Nassau's prestigious East End. Due to a momentary zoning loophole nearly sixty years ago, Baycroft was built amongst some of the country's most lavish estates. It is, and will forever be, the only apartment community to co-exist among the waterfront and waterview villas. The condo represents a unique opportunity to live among some of the country's most elite residents.
As the oldest condominium in the country, Baycroft has a well-deserved reputation for stability, cleanliness, safety and pride of ownership. The neighbours are friendly and courteous. And the grounds are well-maintained by Rolland who is in perpetually great spirits.
The Unique Benefits of this Condominium
While the East End is conveniently located from the island's exotic hum, downtown Nassau and Paradise Island are only minutes away by car. Shop at some of the finest retail establishments in the world on Bay Street. And enjoy world-class casinos and entertainment at Atlantis.
In the mood for a great, local beach? A short walk away from your front door lies Montagu Beach with its calm waters and views over to Paradise Island. You should look for Carnetta's food cart which is hard to miss with its bright yellow paint. A former pastry chef, Carnetta serves up wonderful homemade Bahamian dishes for about the cost of a fast food hamburger! You can then enjoy your meal on a picnic table overlooking the ocean.
