Million dollar view, secluded, excellent host, the property is a little dated but did not deter from experience. Great to have boat available for running to harbour island
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!
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!!
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!
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
We did not stay with Tom yet, but he was great and understanding leading up to a trip we had to cancel due to the current crisis. We can't wait to stay with him and make our second trip to the beautiful island of Eleuthera .

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.

Amazing vacation!!
Had a wonderful time and enjoyed all that Baycienda has to offer. The views and water were outstanding. The use of the boat and toys added to a truly amazing vacation. Our host Harry couldn’t do enough to assist our family with all our needs. We look forward to visiting again soon.

Amazing vacation, awesome hosts and lodging
We just returned from our first visit to Eleuthera and had an amazing stay at Baycienda. We could have chosen a more modern property with fancy granite countertops and a dishwasher, but our vacation wouldn't have been nearly as memorable.
First, the hosts were fantastic. Tom, the owner picked us up at the airport after a long travel day and greeted us warmly, as if we were family. He showed us around the property, pointed us to restaurants and steered us towards a nearby lagoon with a rope swimg we kayaked/paddleboarded to with the boys. When the boat had a minor issue, he had someone out that night to fix it and took my husband on a ride to Harbor Island, about 10 minutes away by boat, and showed him where he parks. We were sad to see Tom leave a few days into our stay, but he flew his friend Harry in and he was just as great. He took us out on the boat to fish, with his personal fishing rods and bait, and made sure that both of our boys got to reel in some fish with him - they were thrilled! And, he took us to a special spot to find some conch shells, which turned into a great fishing spot for us. What an amazing experience! Our 5-year-old would love one more day fishing with Harry! He also took my husband snorkeling and fishing while the boys napped. Both Harry and Tom were there as much or as little as we wanted, even joining us for an occasional meal.
As for the property - the negatives are like a hotel - some of the beds are more comfortable than others, there are some cracks in the walls, and some chipped paint, and some of the doors have trouble sliding, but none of that mattered to us. Our boys loved playing in the pool and feeding turtles and fish from the dock. They got to see sting rays, barracuda, starfish, needlefish and even sharks swim right past the dock! We made most of our breakfasts and lunches at the house and the big open floor plan was great for us. We played games every night in the "great room" overlooking the water. The view from the property was even better than we imagined.
We loved the location - about 20 minutes from restaurants and a couple of shops in Gregory Town, half of which is a rough island dirt road, but fine. We spent about half of every day around the house and explored nearby the other half. I wish I could write more!
Tom and Harry, thank you for your hospitality, especially with the boys and my mom. It didn't go unnoticed. We can't wait to return! Shannon (and family)
