My family stayed in both of Henry's villas, including both sides of the duplex, immediately after the previous 1 star review and feel that such a bad review was unfair. We agree that the phone and internet service was not reliable, but so what, we were on vacation and trying to avoid those distractions. We did lose water pressure for a few hours which Marco fixed promptly. For more comments, see the review on the larger 3 bedroom villa titled "What a great family vacation!".
We had a great time in the Exumas and the duplex was a great place to stay for us. We rented both sides of the duplex and were very comfortable staying there. The amenities are as advertised and the beauty of the Exumas is amazing. The property itself is a bit weathered, but overall clean. Most of our time was spent on or at the water. Henry was great to work with and helped set up the private plane from Nassau to Black Point and back. He also met us at the Nassau airport the first day and gave us a tour of Nassau and took us shopping for groceries (highly recommended to do in Nassau) - above and beyond any other property owner I've worked with in the past. Every night Santos would stop by the house to check in and see if anything was needed. We rented a small boat to explore the Cays and went out almost everyday exploring. Black Point is a great launching place to do this, as the moorings and public dock are accessible and everyone in Black Point is super friendly and helpful with anything you need. Black Point itself is laid back and simple with Lorraine's, Deshemond's, and Scorpio's as the main places to grab lunch or dinner and a few grocery stores (with limited stock) should you run out of something. We found ourselves up at Stainel Cay Yacht Club for a couple meals as well during our stay, but the easy going style of Black Point suited us great for a place to be based out of and we are already discussing going back next year. As the Bahamian immigration officer said when we told him we were going to the Exumas - "OK, I'll see you again next year"
Just what we needed. A quite and beautiful Island. Definitely recommend the golf cart rental so you can explore the whole Island. If you are looking for internet I don't recommend; it was never strong enough-you can get it at the restaurants in town. We didn't have time for internet and enjoyed every minute of our vacation. If you are looking for smiling faces and beautiful scenery: Black Point is the place. Everyone on the Island is eager to see that you are enjoying your stay. Groceries are limited so we took ours from Nassau in coolers-it really would have been just as cheap to bring snacks and eat out in the 3 local restaurants! Groceries are very expenses. Over-all this is a vacation I will never forget! Absolutely Amazing!! If you stay in the Villas be sure to get Santos to be your guide for at least a day: We saw the iguanas', swam with the pigs, snorkeled in the cave were James Bond movie "Thunderbolt" was filmed (beautiful fish and coral) and got to pet the sharks!!! Black Point is a small island with big heart! Be sure to check with the local ladies to buy baskets, hats and homemade bread, especially the coconut bread-sooo good! Angela Gaskins
This is our second time staying at this property. We especially enjoyed the wonderful deck overlooking the bay. So private and amazing!
Duplex perched on a narrow, breezy ridge with wide porch all around and access to secluded ocean beach in front and broad, flat bay in the back with gazebo. Very pleasant 1 mile walk to town with several decent restaurants and small stores; owner will rent a golf cart. Absentee owner but quick to respond to phone requests (rather than Vrbo message). Problematic boat access at house because bay becomes sand flat at low tide (use docks in town) but almost no bugs because of breeze. Kitchen quite usable; excellent internet and cable.
