We had a great time. The hosts , the place, and the amenities like the boat and the guide are fabulous. The property is well-worn and has a great library. We would recommend bringing some supplies as the stores are a bit far by car, but easy to get to by boat!

I don’t want to leave a positive review because I’d hate for anyone else to find this place. But i owe it to Tom and Brenda. They were amazing hosts and Baycienda is paradise!
The bay is better than most beaches you’ll find and the cliffs on the Atlantic side of the island are a great place to watch the sunrise.
Thank you Tom! We can’t wait to come back!

Amazing!
We had a fantastic week in Whale Point at Baycienda. Tom and Brenda were incredibly helpful including helping us to navigate the challenge of cancelled flights on Christmas Day and chartering alternates with local providers. We had stayed very busy all week and spent 2 days out with Capt. Sanchez to see the pigs/Spanish Wells one day and a beach picnic spear fished by Sanchez himself another day. He was amazing! Our crew of 4 adults and 6 kids ranging from 7-14 had an absolute blast at Baycienda and at Eleuthera in general. We hated to leave!

Beautiful location & Captain Sanchez is the best!!
The location of this property is amazing! We really loved being able to explore all that the area had to offer. So close to the turtles and rope swing, which our young boys love!
Captain Sanchez is just the best and made our trip so memorable! He was so good with our kids, fun to hang out with, amazing fishing excursions and the food he prepared was absolutely delicious! We all loved every single thing he cooked.
Overall, we feel that the house itself could definitely use some updating for the price per night. This was not our first stay in Eleuthera, we have stayed in a few different houses at this same price point, so that is our comparison.

Pretty property
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.

lovely house but overbearing hosts
Awesome house ideally set up for entertaining. The layout with the bedrooms on one side and kitchen/dining/living rooms on the other side with a covered outdoor dining area in the middle was amazingly effective. The view was incredible!
When we booked the house, a car was included with the rental but as we got closer to the trip, I noticed the car was removed from the listing. We really wanted a car to allow us to come and go as we please.
The hosts and the house steward were lovely and meant well, but we found them overbearing. There was no privacy in the main house to speak off, with the owners living in a house in the back yard and the steward letting himself into the main house every day.. I am sure some guests might like the hosts' active involvement in their vacation, but I am sure there are many like us who want to DIY in privacy.

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!

A True Bahamian Property
We’ve been vacationing in the Bahamas for 36 years, 1 to 3 visits per year, and we’ve owned our own VRBO rental. Baycienda is absolutely the real Bahamian Experience.
This home is humble and non pretentious, which is real Bahamian. The community building is a very roomy setting from kitchen to 2 dining tables (6 + 6 seats) and a relaxing family area with TV. The dining tables & chairs are beautifully painted by the hosts. Quality wicker couches and relaxed seating give a true caribbean touch. There are nice touches, from local art to coral walkways and beautiful wood ceilings.
If you are planning to cook for many as we did you will be disappointed. The Oven/Stove is difficult to use. The kitchen itself needs renovation.
The family room view is spectacular but the sliders (all windows) need a good cleaning.. The bathrooms are also in need of updating and a good cleaning but the bedrooms are comfortable with clean linens.
The backyard boasts a variety of indigenous plants that are beautiful and make for an hour of discovery. Every few hours, hummingbirds cruise through the hibiscus plants for nectar. The view beyond is spectacular, made possible by trimmed shrubs and trees, starting with the australian pine lined beach, wide dock and amazing water view. The owners have gone to great lengths to ensure everyone is having fun, from the paddle boards, kayaks, pool, water skis/wake board and sand edge beach.
We recommend Baycienda for its beautiful setting.

We had the best vacation over the Thanksgiving holiday! The layout is perfect for families with young kids. They can go to bed early and you can in the living area without worrying about being too load. The home is "weathered," but it has everything you need and it gives it character! We will definitely be back!!

Great time in a wonderful property with fantastic hosts
We had a fantastic time even with a tropical storm passing through for 2 days! There were 6 of us total, everyone had plenty of room, the property was very lovely and secluded. The hosts Tom and Brenda were extremely accommodating and friendly. They even were able to help us stay one extra night when the airline decided that our flight was cancelled 30mins before the airport closed.
Sanchez was also a great, he definitely made us a tasty dinner!
Thanks again for everything!

Wife’s Birthday Weekend Getaway
Tom and Brenda helped me pull off a wonderful surprise birthday weekend for my wife. They were able to make reservations for us at a restaurant on Harbour Island that was excellent. Brenda was able to have a birthday cake made for my wife. It was beautiful and delicious. We had Tom and Brenda set up a beach picnic and Sanchez knocked it out the park catching fresh fish and lobster and prepared a wonderful meal on the beach. We also had Sanchez catch fish and lobster for us one day and he prepared a wonderful Bahamian style dinner for us that did not disappoint anyone in the group. The views at sunrise are absolutely amazing on the ocean side and the sunset is breathtaking. Tom, Brenda, and Sanchez truly gave us the trip of a lifetime. We will for sure be back to Baycienda.

Beautiful stay at Baycienda!
The view is beautiful, the house is great, and the location is perfect. We had a small family reunion and this was a great place. There was plenty of space and bedrooms are separated from living room/kitchen. This is nice when you have a group making noise at different times. We used the boat to go fishing, but we stayed in the harbor and didn't catch many fish. We swam around the docks and the turtles and fish were very friendly. We also saw starfish, eels, and a small shark at different times. The vehicle was not running very well, so we could only use it for short trips. We had to use a rental car to go down to the southern part of Eleuthera, but Tom Jones was very helpful with this. Ashley, the caretaker, was very helpful and available when needed. There were no bugs and the everything was very clean.

Amazing location, great features for the outdoor lover
The good
This property is sprawling and sleeps 8-10 easy. We loved having 3 separate full bathrooms. The split plan is very cool with all the bedrooms on one side, and the kitchen, family, and dining on the other side. All connected by an outdoor courtyard.
The Bay is stunning and teeming with wildlife. Sea Turtles, Sting Rays, Grouper, Snapper, Star Fish etc.. all at your back door. The boat that is included is a great extra.
The service provided was also excellent. Tom the owner is extremely responsive, and the property manager onsite is excellent.
The cons
The air conditioners struggle to keep the bedrooms comfortable during the day. Forget an afternoon nap, the rooms are so warm because of the afternoon sun beaming in.
There are so many bugs it is crazy. Flys, Mosquitos, Locusts, beattles, you name it they are abundant. Not a big deal for me but the kids were always worried.
The kitchen is in need of some upgrades, it is probably 30 years old or more.
I would assume a winter stay would be more comfortable as the A/C would be more efficient and bug population would be cut in half easy.
Overall I would recommend this place if you dont have little kids who are scared of bugs, and you are okay with a kitchen that is not very modern and needs some updating.. We had a good time and the property was really in such a good location on the water that outweighs the other stuff. I mean that is the reason you go to the Bahamas.

Wonderful time at Baycienda
We had a great time at Baycienda. We were picked up at the airport by a lovely couple who were extremely helpful throughout the stay. The house and the place were great, however somewhat old.
The car had seen better days, but worked and got all 8 of us around. We also had good fun with the boat and it took us to Harbour Island. Definitely a place we will remember.

Informazioni sull’host
Host: Tom Jones
I am a 50 year pilot who published the Pilots Guide to the Bahamas and Carribean and have spent the last 25 years living in Eleuthera. Of all of the islands, Eleuthera was my favorite so I settled here. I am a father and grandfather who is now a local resident. I am originally from Georgia and my children and grandchildren reside in Charleston, South Carolina. This is my piece of paradise that I love to share with guests, all of whom become friends after their stay.
Perché ha scelto questa struttura
Whale Point is an amazing spot! It is secluded and remote, but with all the access you need to adventure out by boat to Harbour Island or go fishing, diving, or snorkeling.
Cosa rende unica questa struttura
We want to make sure our guests have a full and fun experience and get to explore all that North Eleuthera and closely neighboring Harbour Island have to offer which is why we offer a boat for an additional fee so you can have the freedom to explore! This is a very unique offering that regulars will tell you, you will not find anywhere else. We have an experienced native boat captain who can give you the "lay of the land" and help you plan any boat outing you might enjoy.
Harbour Island is one of the top 10 beaches in the world, but the music stops at 2 am, and the roosters start at 4 am. Baycienda offers seclusion and serenity within a 10 min beautiful boat ride from Harbour Island.
Snorkeling is great right under the dock. There is a small spa pool that is perfect for a dip or for cocktail hour and a small man made beach area for laying out or reading in the hammock.
