Baha Mara - New Tarpum Bay Beachfront

The front door doesn’t have a good seal so if you are prone to bug bites, this is not the house for you. I had to wear long sleeves and long pants with socks pulled over them and still got bit at night by the noseeums. The house was ok but the cleaner came before checkout, let herself into the house which I felt was a safety risk and I had to ask her stay outside until 10am which was super awkward. Maybe just a one off based on other reviews but not a great experience.

My family and I travel internationally quite often, and we've stayed at a wide range of vacation rentals across the Bahamas and beyond. I can honestly say this property is one of our favorites.First and foremost, the location is ideal. Baha Mar is clean, safe, and tucked away on the quieter, more serene south end of the island. It’s perfect for anyone looking to escape the crowds and experience the natural beauty of Eleuthera in peace. While you won’t find big waves on this side of the island, you're just a short, scenic drive from Surfer’s Beach—one of the top-rated spots for catching waves and enjoying a more adventurous day by the ocean.What you do get right at the property is unbeatable access to calm, crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking, or simply floating and relaxing. The beach area is private with only one next door and a few more down the beach. It makes it feel like your own slice of paradise. The kids and I enjoyed exploring the shorelin, turtles, so many fish, and even sharks just off shore. Bring water shoes as it is rocky in places.The house itself is beautifully maintained, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed for comfort. It’s spacious enough for families, with great communal areas to gather and enjoy meals, game nights, or just sit and take in the view. The kitchen had everything we needed, and we cooked and grilled out each night.If you're looking for a relaxing island getaway away from the crowds, this is it.

This home was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The water was beautiful with all the different shades of blues and greens. We enjoyed visiting nearby Governor's Harbour. Joanna was great to work with, even giving us a great contact for a car rental. Kayak and paddle boards were fun!

Went to Eleuthera to visit friends that are staying on their boat in Rock Sound. Had only one windy day. Great week.

If you are looking for a laid back central location on Eleuthera with local vibes….this is it! Minutes from Tarpum Bay, Rock Sound, and not far from Governor’s Harbor. Located on the Caribbean side on a Lovely stretch of beach known as “Combers Beach” because of all the shells, corrals, star fish, etc. Great separation from neighbors on one side and all natural on the other, We also appreciated the shade the non-native pines gave the ocean side yard, very comfortable temps! The beautiful five palms beach on the Atlantic side is only a 5 minute drive away - best of both oceans!The house is very comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with cooking ware, dishes, silverware, glasses, etc has everything you need to cook great meals and entertain which we like to do. You won’t be disappointed if you are looking to stay in this part of Eleuthera.

My wife and I have rented extensively throughout the island, and we consistently favor the Tarpum Bay area. This property is truly exceptional for families. The spacious house is well-stocked with amenities and boasts one of the best ocean views we've encountered. While the shoreline is primarily rocky, numerous sandy areas are easily accessible nearby.The highlight of this property is the incredible marine life directly offshore. Our two boys (ages 10-12) spent hours snorkeling in the crystal-clear, shallow water (less than 6 feet deep), encountering rays, a diverse array of fish, baby sharks, dolphins, and turtles daily. A short walk to the right of the property offers excellent shore fishing.This is, without a doubt, the best family rental we've experienced, and we would wholeheartedly recommend it and rent again if available. Thank you for an amazing vacation!P.S. Updating the interior and waterfront photos would further enhance the property's online presentation.

As the title states two weeks in Eleuthra and at Baha Mara wasn't long enough and went by in a flash.Very comfortable home in a secluded area while also being a short distance of anything you need. Great location as home base to explore the south end central areas of the island. Or just stay home and enjoy the beautiful water steps away from the porch.

This was our third time to rent Baha Mara, a home away from home. Staying at Baha Mara is always a seamless and pleasant experience. We love the location, amenities such as Starlink internet, and the modern feel. I definitely recommend Baha Mara for your perfect Eleuthera experience!

Enjoyed hospitality. Clean and comfortable. Great hosts

This is a beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed house in a stunning location. Kitchen is extremely well-stocked and there are games and books available for entertainment. The view is incredible and the beach feels private, although there are a couple of houses to one side of the home. The water in front of the house was crystal clear and great for paddle boarding and kayaking. It’s very shallow. The owner was easy to work with and very helpful in solving a little situation we had. Would highly recommend.
