About this property

Oceanfront, Beach, Tennis-Pickleball Court, Dock, Kayaks, Bikes

Bahama Backroads villa is one of the few rental properties in the Bahamas with a private tennis-pickleball court, private dock and various nearby beaches within a short walk or swim. There are panoramic ocean sunrises and bay sunset views from the villa. The newly established East Abaco Creeks National Park borders the property which offers fantastic snorkeling, diving, kayaking and of course bonefishing. In the ocean waters easily accessed from the dock world-class sailfishing is on offer as well as mahi-mahi, tuna, grouper etc.
Tennis or pickleball in the morning followed by fishing, sea kayaking, windsurfing, diving, or just plain lounging in the afternoon. Or vice versa. If you want pure rest and relaxation, this is the place. Use of two sea kayaks and two bicycles come with the villa.

The house also features a game room with ping pong and table soccer game. A billiards table has recently been added to the upstairs porch. There is also a small gym including weight set and stationary bicycle. Four bicycles and two sea kayaks are included in the rental.

The Bahama Backroads villa, located on two secluded acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, also now includes panoramic deck overlooking the harbor and ocean. The villa also features a separate independent apartment that is available for an extra cost for guests who might have friends or family visitors. Inquire to owner for rates.

For golfing enthusiasts The Abaco Club oceanfront golf course is only 10 minutes away and the Treasure Key championship golf course is only a 30-minute drive. Little Harbour is located 25 miles south of Marsh Harbor, where car and boat rentals are available. Forty-minute flights to and from Miami, Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach with American Delta, United or Silver Airways.
There are numerous nearby beaches within walking distance. The Winding Bay beach is easily reached via bicycle. Cherokee, a charming old Bahamian fishing village, is also nearby and offers a great beach and swimming pier. There is a also great bonefishing in the nearby Cherokee Sound.

For birdwatching aficionados the villa is one of the best spots in the Bahamas to see many species including wild parrots that fly by on a daily basis.

One of the best ways to tailor your stay at the Bahama Backroads villa is to rent a boat in Marsh Harbour and make the 45 minute journey down through the Sea of Abaco. Along the way there is the Pelican Keys underwater nature reserve where you can tie up to a mooring ball and snorkel. Schools of huge, harmless leopard rays are plentiful in the reserve.

There are also various barrier islands that can easily be reached by taking the kayaks from the dock at the house. There are miles of secluded, pristine beaches on those barrier islands.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Kirwin

Host profile image
I am a freelance writer who first visited the Bahamas on a sailboat more than 20 years ago and have been coming back ever since.

My appreciation of the unspoiled tropical environment that the Bahama Backroads Villa featurs stems from a career writing about environmental and sustainable living issues. Previously I worked for Time Magazine and the United Nations Environment Program and was based in Nairobi, Kenya, where I served as the editor of UNEP's Our Planet magazine.

Why they chose this property

Little Harbour is unique village in an unspoiled tropical environment. Having seen the haphazard, reckless development of so many beautiful seaside resorts over the years it is nice to be able to go to one that is still an oasis from crowds and crass overdevelopment.

What makes this property unique

A typical day starts with a swim and then breakfast on the porch. Later in the morning I try to get in a game of tennis or pickleball. After doing chores around the house I usually do some reading and otherwise just take it easy. After some late afternoon fly-fishing in the flats in Robinson's Bight, the highlight of the evening is a cocktail on the screened porch that offers a an always illustrious sunset panorama.
