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.

Tom & Brenda were the best hosts. We had the most relaxing time and were able to use the boat to visit Harbor Island. Such an amazing spot to stay.

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.

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!

Tom and Brenda were great hosts! We all had a wonderful trip and recommend doing a boating/beach day with Sanchez (he’s a really good cook too).

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.

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!

Good Times
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!

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.
