Marsh Harbour, Abacos, Bahamas

STARFISH BAY — live on the water in the heart of the Abacos. Step outside and the Sea of Abaco stretches to the horizon in every direction. Starfish Bay is a luxury three‑bedroom oceanfront home built directly on the water in a private gated peninsula at the tip of Marsh Harbour. With over 2,000 sq ft of outdoor decks, a protected dock in a private marina, and stairs that lead straight into the sea, this is island living at its finest—designed for families and friends who want space, comfort, and the ocean at their feet. Rated 4.94 with 17 reviews and an Airbnb Guest Favorite badge. Guests consistently praise the expansive outdoor living, the dock, and the central location. brbrTHE HOME brStarfish Bay was purpose‑built for luxury waterfront living and completed in June 2022. Bahamian‑style exposed ceilings and an open‑plan layout create a home that feels grand yet relaxed, with every main room oriented toward the sea. brbrInterior highlights: br3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with high ceilings throughout brMaster bedroom with king bed, premium hemp linens, and large sliding doors opening directly onto the covered patio with unobstructed ocean views brGuest bedroom 1 (waterfront) with queen bed and sliding doors to the patio and ocean view brGuest bedroom 2 (garden view) with queen bed, separate A/C, large closet, and plenty of storage brOpen‑plan kitchen, living, and dining area flows to the outdoor spaces through multiple large sliding doors brWell‑stocked kitchen with gas range and griddle, full‑size refrigerator and freezer, dishwasher, standalone ice maker, air fryer, coffee machine, toaster, blender, and electric kettle br50 smart TVs in all bedrooms and the living room with Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and more brSonos and Bluetooth speakers for streaming your personal music brLarge closets and generous storage in every room brHigh‑speed Starlink WiFi reaches every room, patio, deck, and dock brbrOUTDOOR LIVING — THE HEART OF STARFISH BAY brThe outdoor living at Starfish Bay is exceptional. With three distinct zones totaling over 2,000 sq ft, your group will spend most of their time outside and never feel crowded. brbrZone 1 — Covered porch (~600 sq ft): brLarge sliding doors from the master, living room, and waterfront guest room open onto a spacious covered porch. This is the transition space between indoors and out—shaded, breezy, and furnished for lounging. Perfect for reading, napping, or escaping the midday sun while staying close to the action. brbrZone 2 — Upper deck (~1,000 sq ft): brThe main event: a massive uncovered deck with infinity ocean views in every direction. Furnished with four cushioned chaises, four Adirondack chairs, an outdoor dining table that seats six, and a high‑top table for four. A cornhole set is always out for friendly competition. A large outdoor A/C unit helps keep the covered areas cooler on hot summer days. This is where sunsets happen, dinners are shared, and memories are made. brbrZone 3 — Lower deck with ocean access: brBelow the upper deck, a lower platform with wide stairs leads directly into the crystal‑clear Sea of Abaco. An outdoor shower on this level lets you rinse off after swimming, snorkeling, or a day on the boat. brbrOutdoor kitchen: brA full outdoor cooking setup sits on the deck level—Weber gas grill, outdoor sink, and prep counter. Grill today’s catch, prep sides, and serve everything without leaving the waterfront. The chef stays part of the group. brbrHammock: brStrung on the upper deck, the hammock is a guest favorite—sway in the sea breeze with a direct view over the water. brbrWater toys launched directly from the lower deck: br4 watercraft (mix of kayaks and stand‑up paddleboards) brLarge floating water mat brSnorkel gear (fins, masks, snorkels) for up to 6 guests brWide deck and stairs make launching easy, even for younger guests brAll water toys are also available for use on the marina/canal side—giving you a protected, calm‑water option when northerly winds make the ocean side choppy. brbrYOUR PRIVATE DOCK & MARINA brStarfish Bay includes access to a private, protected boat slip in our on‑site marina for vessels up to ~60 ft. The marina is located on the calm canal between the property and Sugarloaf Cay—a south‑facing waterway that provides sheltered dockage in most weather, including strong northerly winds that can make other docks in the Abacos uncomfortable or unsafe. brbrDock amenities: brReverse osmosis fresh water at the dock br30‑amp and 50‑amp shore power brComfortable Adirondack chairs and shaded seating area for relaxing brFish‑cleaning station—clean your catch steps from your boat brA completely different water view from the marina side: south‑facing over the Sugarloaf Canal and lagoon with spectacular sunsets brbrThe marina gives your stay a second waterfront. While the house faces north over the open Sea of Abaco, the dock faces south over the protected canal. Two different experiences, two different views—and you have access to both. Whether you bring your own boat, rent one locally, or simply want a quiet spot to sit and watch the boats go by, the marina is always yours to enjoy. Please inquire about dockage at the time of booking. No liveaboards. brbrOFF‑GRID LUXURY — POWER & WATER brStarfish Bay is part of a self‑sufficient private property. You will never worry about power outages or water quality—a genuine concern at many Abaco rentals, but not here. brbrSolar power plant provides reliable 24/7 electricity. Two diesel generators stand by as backup only. This is a true “green” power system—you are staying at one of the most sustainably powered vacation rentals in the Bahamas. brbrRainwater harvesting collects and stores fresh water on‑site. Reverse osmosis and a quadruple filtration system with UV treatment ensure every faucet delivers clean, drinkable water. No need to buy bottled water. brbrHigh‑speed Starlink satellite internet delivers fast, reliable WiFi to every corner of the property—indoors, on every deck, and at the docks. Stream, video call, or work remotely without interruption. brbrPRIVACY, SECURITY & EXCLUSIVITY brStarfish Bay sits within Eastern Shores, a private gated peninsula at the very tip of Marsh Harbour. Water surrounds you on nearly every side—the Sea of Abaco to the north, Sugarloaf Cay channel and lagoon to the south—creating a uniquely private and scenic setting. brbrGated community entrance with private road access brRing security cameras monitor the road entrance and marina only—no cameras inside the home or in any private spaces brQuiet, upscale residential neighborhood ideal for walking, jogging, or simply enjoying the peace brYour home has its own private parking, entrance, decks, and ocean access—completely separate from any other structure on the property brbrTHE MOST CENTRAL LOCATION IN THE ABACOS brUnlike rentals on the outer cays—where you are confined to one small island and dependent on ferries—our location on the main island of Great Abaco, at the hub of Marsh Harbour, gives your group unmatched flexibility to explore by land and sea. brbrBy water (approx. from your dock): brHope Town / Elbow Cay — 3.5 miles brMan‑O‑War Cay — under 3 miles brMermaid Reef (snorkeling) — 1.5 miles brLubbers Quarters / Tahiti Beach — short ride south brFowl Cay National Park — nearby brMontage Cay — less than 1 mile across the bay; a 53‑acre private island being developed as a luxury Montage resort (inn, spa, deep‑water marina, and multiple dining venues) that you can see from your deck brTreasure Cay — ~20 miles north brGreen Turtle Cay — ~20 miles north brLittle Harbour / Pete’s Pub — to the south brbrBy land (from Starfish Bay): brMarsh Harbour Airport (MHH) — minutes away brAlbury’s Ferry Dock (Hope Town, Man‑O‑War, Guana Cay) — less than 1 mile at the entrance to Eastern Shores brMaxwell’s Supermarket and Price Right grocery — minutes brLiquor store, pharmacy, clinic — minutes brLocal restaurants — minutes brBoat Harbour Marina (full‑service with fuel, diesel, and restaurants) — ~1.5 miles by car or boat brbrMarsh Harbour is the hub of the Abacos—the airport, main supermarkets, ferries, and essential services are all here. You get the privacy of a waterfront estate and the convenience of being minutes from everything. A rental car is recommended for getting around and exploring the mainland. Taxis are always available at the airport. brbrBOATING IN THE ABACOS brThe Abacos are widely regarded as one of the best boating destinations in the world, and Starfish Bay puts you at the center of it all. The Sea of Abaco provides naturally protected waters between the outer barrier cays and the mainland, creating ideal conditions for day trips in every direction. brbrFrom our dock you can: brIsland‑hop to Hope Town, Man‑O‑War, Great Guana Cay, Green Turtle Cay, and smaller cays brAccess offshore and bonefishing grounds brAnchor at pristine, uninhabited beaches and sandbars brSnorkel coral reefs and underwater parks like Fowl Cay brVisit Tahiti Beach on the southern tip of Elbow Cay brCruise to Pete’s Pub at Little Harbour for a waterside lunch brReach Treasure Cay and Green Turtle Cay to the north for extended day trips brbrBeing centrally positioned on the Sea of Abaco means you avoid long open‑water crossings. Day trips in every direction are short, safe, and enjoyable—even with children aboard. If you plan to rent a boat, we strongly recommend booking early—rentals fill up fast in peak season. If bringing your own vessel, please provide details when requesting your booking so we can prepare your slip. brbrACTIVITIES FROM THE PROPERTY brYou do not need to leave Starfish Bay to have an incredible day on the water: brSwim directly off the deck into the clear Sea of Abaco—sea turtles, starfish, and tropical fish are regularly spotted in front of the house brSnorkel along the shoreline with the included gear brKayak or paddleboar

The LUSEA estate includes two rental homes (Starfish Bay and Mermaid Cove), a private residence, on‑site marina, and its own power and water plant, all within gated Eastern Shores.

High‑speed WiFi covers both homes, all decks, and the docks, so you can work or stream from anywhere on the estate.brbrThe entire property is off‑grid without sacrifice: a large solar power plant provides 24/7 electricity with two diesel generators as backup only, giving you constant power even when the rest of the island is dark. A private water plant combines rainwater harvesting, reverse osmosis, multi‑stage filtration, and UV treatment, so every faucet in both homes delivers clean, great‑tasting drinking water—no need to buy bottled.brbrINTERIOR LIVING – STARFISH BAYbrbrStarfish Bay is a brand‑new 3BR/2BA home (completed June 2022) with an open‑plan layout, high ceilings, and water views from every bedroom.
