Great location

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.

Black point duplex

Wonderful place for couples, families, anyone enjoying sand, sun, solitude. Not a nightlife kind of place, but Scorpios(the local bar is fun), and make sure you eat at least one meal at Diann's restaurant. Also, get some coconut bread from Lorraines mom. Rent a boat(pay for a guide for the first day, it is well worth it). We rented from Raymond(breadboy) and from Henry Rolle(talk to Santo or Marco). Only downside, the place is on the water, but you can't actually swim there(very shallow). But would be great swimming for toddlers and little kids. Be nice to everyone here, it is a small town, they work hard, and are not on American time.

A month in paradise.

This was our first visit to Blackpoint and our second visit to the Family Islands. This was our favorite place to stay and our favorite island. We love solitude and quiet natural surroundings and this villa was perfect. With an almost 360-degree view, we could watch the sun rise over one beach on the east side of the island, and watch sunset over Blackpoint Harbor, all from the fabulous wrap-around porch. Each beach is an easy few steps from the house, and the golf cart was a perfect solution to getting around this small friendly island and visiting any of the many deserted beaches. This villa was an ideal vacation home for us - we swam, snorkeled, paddled, took long walks, beachcombed, grilled our dinners on the patio, and enjoyed quiet evenings and dark starry nights. We chose this rental because it was pet-friendly, and we'll go back because it was a well-appointed vacation rental in an incomparably beautiful and quiet setting. We highly recommend this villa, especially for romantic nature lovers with families or pets or anyone looking to get away from it all. The local airstrip makes it a plus for private pilots.

Amazing week on a peaceful island!

My husband, myself and our 17 month old spent a week in half of the villa while our friends rented the other half for the week. What a perfect setup for doing something like this! This is an IDEAL location to travel to with small children, as we felt so at peace being able to relax and just let our small children run the beach during low tide. We did not see another sole on the beach until the last day we were there. We did not have to worry about our children bothering anybody, anyone bothering them, or them getting hurt because they could run hundreds of yards during low tide in the soft sand. The island is wonderful for adults too, as we went snorkeling in different locations almost every day. We are hoping to return again next year. Henry was more than accommodating! When things did not go as planned or if any problems arose, he was right on top of it. Santos is very friendly and helpful, as were the neighboring families and townspeople. We also LOVED the service at the Missionary Church!

My husband and I absolutely love this rental!! We have been to Kauai and Oahu and will probably never go back after staying at this villa. What makes this villa standout compared to others on the neighboring cays is that it is on a beautiful white sand beach, it has a very nice gazebo on the beach, lots of amenities such as a golf cart, washer/dryer, grill, full kitchen, and free calls back to the states. The location of this villa is also perfect because you can see the Atlantic Ocean out the front door and the Carribbean is out back door. It was really nice to look out over the Carribean ocean as we grilled and at night relax in the lounge chairs on the gazebo and look at the millions of stars. Aside from the the view and all the wonderful amenities, the house is really clean and the landscaping around the house is very nice. This area is really relaxing because there is no traffic, everyone on the cay is very friendly, it is safe to walk around at night, and the food is really good. I would like to thank Henry again for a wonderful and relaxing stay, along with Sontos who would help us out if we needed anything, Raymond for the wonderful tours of the cays and transferring us to/from our flight via Watermakers, and Resa for showing us around and the wonderful hospitality. We made a lot of friends while on Black Point and after a week of being home we really miss the area.

Another Great Get Away

This was our second time renting Henry's place. First and foremost, Henry is a great host. He checked in every step of the trip, making sure we had everything we needed and our stay was meeting our expectations. At the end of our trip, Henry picked us up at the airport and gave us a wonderful tour of Nassau and introduced us to Conch Salad. Back to the island. The weather was breezy for many of the days. Glad we brought light coats with us which made the wind less of an issue. Still enjoyed the beaches but planned the location after checking the wind direction every morning. Took the boat for a day trip to Stanial Cay. Trip over was beautiful and easy to navigate if you keep and eye our for reefs. The Yacht Club was fun and had a good crowd at noon. New supply store on the island is the best place to stock up. Every day brought something new. Viewed many new sea creatures both from the shore as well as snorkeling. Snorkeled on the east side of the island. Great things to see but keep an eye out for sharks. Went to Harvey Cay to Bone Fish but came back empty handed. Great location, but no fish this time. Looking forward to next year already.

Great family vacation!

We have been to the Bahamas many times and usually forgo busy Nassau, and head straight to the Family Islands. Once my daughter found Henry's villa on VRBO, I knew where we were headed. We found the villa is just as described. From the porch the deep blue Atlantic and the light blue Caribbean are visible with a turn of the head. A lit path leads down to a beachfront gazebo with views both day and night. The beach on Plain Bay at the southern end of the island is simply stunning. The residents of Blackpoint were very friendly and helpful. It is necessary to bring your own snacks, meat and milk, but there is plenty of fresh seafood available. We brought a cooler of meat, cooked on the BBQ and ate very well. The pizza at Deshamons is excellent and a great time was had by all at Lorraine's happy hour. We rented a fine boat from Raymond Andrews. He was an excellent boatsman and showed us how to get the many other sites close by. He also gave us a tour to the Land and Sea park, which is a must see. It is the best snorkeling I've seen in all of the Bahama's and Raymond knew the best spots. The kids also loved the swimming pigs and the giant iguanas on the nearby islands. Henry was surly the best owner we have rented from. His kindness and consideration of our needs is what prompted me to write my first review.

secluded private slice of heaven!

My wife and I spent our last anniversary at Black Point Ocean Villa and it is going to be hard to beat. This place is amazing. Very private, comfortable, and the people of Black Point are so nice and welcoming. Henry was so helpful with getting everything ready for us, and he really cares that you have a special time at his rental. We loved getting to explore the island in the golf cart. It was unreal!! Every beach we went to was private. You must meet and go out on a boat tour of the keys with "breadboy" him and his wife are beyond kind and really made us feel at home. Breadboy took us on a tour on our anniversary - which is something we wouldn't normally do, and he made it so special, showing us things of beauty that we never could have imagined. It was perfect. Later in the week we rented jet skis from him and explored on our own which was one of the most beautiful happiest days we've ever had. This place is very special. Not for those who need the luxuries of a fine hotel or an island full of exotic restaurants. The house itself is very nice and comfortable, and has everything you would need. It has beautiful views of the ocean from both sides and from your bed. It's just amazing. If you like privacy and a very slow paced vacation, this is the place for you. We loved this rental and island. I really don't know how we will ever beat this anniversary trip. Just amazing.

Living in the Laidback Lane

The accommodations were without a doubt, absolutely impeccable. Clean, well appointed decor, great kitchen setup, lots towels and linens as well as access to a washer and dryer. Henry the owner checked in with us via phone each morning to make sure things were to our liking. Santos, the local care taker, was an amazing guy. Anything you needed or any questions you have, just ask Santos, he stops by each evening to check with you. The golf carts were a wonderful way to get around the island. Don't miss the great beach on the far-side. The local people are very friendly and they all know your a guest on their island. You can't get lost! Need some fresh fish or lobster, just ask for Craven down by the docks and you'll have it the next day. Loraine's Cafe, has great food, a self serve bar and her Mom makes awesome breads. Deshmond's has a great little 4 seat bar and wonderful homemade pizza. Scorpio's also has great food and a well stocked bar. Cooking for yourself, don't miss Adderly's grocery where it's the only place to get supplies and she'll even show you how to prepare conch. Be sure to take advantage of Henry's Boston Whaler boat to check out the swimming pigs, the iguana beach and the Thunderball Grotto where the James Bond Movie was filmed back in the 60's. The daily opportunity to stroll on the sand flats when the tide goes out, was spiritually refreshing as well as fun to find sand dollars, starfish, sea urchins and even a conch. Sitting in the beach palapa sipping a cool rum punch, watching the sun go down and turn into a green flash, was the perfect time to reflect on the perfect day in paradise.

Almost afraid to tell too many people! It's a Jewel!

We just spent a fantastic week at Henry's home on Black Point. The pictures you see do not give justice to exactly how beautiful the water truly is. I have travelled all over the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Brazil and have never seen water so blue and crystal clear. The house is very well kept and Henry and his staff cater to your every need. This is not a resort type setting that you can dial room service but it is absolutely and totally relaxing. Henry includes a golf cart in the rental and you will need it to get around the island to visit Lorraine at her cafe or to shop for convenience type groceries at Adderly's. Best advice I can give is to bring your own frozen meat, cheese, salami, nuts, Powerbars, laundry detergent (washer and dryer work great) and other day to day items because you won't find them on the island. We used the grill everyday and bought salad prep items at Adderly's. Charter a boat or Jet Ski from Raymond "Bread Boy" Andrews or from Henry and they will make it a special trip. We did both and enjoyed every minute. Make sure you spend a day at the beach at Plain Bay...we spent 3 days there and were the only people on the beach! Internet is available at Henry's house although sometimes it was up and down but they are updating the service on the island. Get out on the island and explore...we covered every inch. Nicest people we have met in a long time. Everybody waves and says hello and actually means it! Don't count on that cell phone working if you have Verizon...we didn't miss ours! Oh and don't overpack if you are flying on Flamingo Air. They have limited cargo space but will make sure your bags get there. Thank you Henry, Lorraine, Raymond, and all our other new friends on Black Point for sharing your paradise with us!

very nice villa

My husband and I stayed at Henry's villa for the first week of April, and we had a great time. It is clean, well maintained and a no fuss place to stay. We hate the idea of casinos, hoardes of tourists and loud nightlife, and this place fit the bill perfectly. I have to say that you will never meet nicer people than those in Black Point. Within hours of our arrival we felt like family. But this place is really off the beaten path. Really off. This is the "real" Bahamas.... no reggae music, no hotels with shops, no beach bars. There wasn't even any sunscreen at the little store, so Henry brought some over from Nassau. Ida, the lovely lady who runs the laundromat, offered to bring some over from her house. So nice! (You can get sunblock at Isles General Store on Staniel Cay if, like us, you only bring carry on bags with the 3 oz limit on liquids). So just know what you're getting when you book here - a quiet, laid back place with friendly people, a few good places to eat, lots of interesting people to talk to (the boat cruising crowd are a lot of fun!) and the beautiful islands to explore. If you go, make sure to hire a guide to take you up to the land and sea park. It's a huge marine park, and you'll never find the good snorkeling spots by yourself if you don't know this area. So if all this sounds good to you, you can't go wrong renting from Henry. The only improvement I can think of would be the addition of ceiling fans. We ran the a/c a bit more than we wanted to stay cool. And by the way, Henry just finished a new villa, and it is gorgeous. The villa we rented is very nice but basic; the new one is beautifully finished. And it faces directly west, so the sunsets are spectacular! Ask him about it if you want to go down to Black Point. If peace and quiet with boating, snorkeling, beach walking and just relaxing is your idea of a good time, go! Thanks for everything Henry!

Paradise Found on Great Guana Cay

If you think paradise is lost, think again, because we found it at Henry’s Villa on Great Guana Cay! We have traveled all over the world, and our vacation here truly ranks near the top. To say it was epic is an understatement. We spent 10 days on the cay, and every moment was extraordinary! We explored over 10 beaches/cays and not once, not ONCE, did we see another human being. We played endlessly in the surf, snorkeled among tropical fish, star-gazed at the spectacular sky, kite-boarded on the most amazing turquoise blue waters, and explored every inch of the island. We rented a boat from Henry, which we HIGHLY recommend. With some navigational help from Henry’s GPS (ask him about this), we boated to countless uninhabited cays. We dropped anchor on deserted beaches, swimming and lounging (it’s so shallow in many places, you can simply sit in the surf and enjoy a tasty beverage) under the Bahamian sun. Words cannot accurately describe how beautiful this place is! The day before we rented Henry’s boat, we hired Doughboy to take us on his boat so we could get acquainted with the cays. His captain treated us to some amazing sites – the Grotto (an open cave you snorkel to), two cays with huge Iguana you can feed, a cay with swimming pigs, and a visit to an underwater plane wreck. What a special day! The Villa itself is absolutely perfect –the wrap around porch provides unbelievable views of both the calm bay on one side and the roaring ocean on the other. The Villa is extremely clean, bright, and well appointed for cooking meals. On the advice of others, we flew in a soft-sided cooler with all our meats, cheeses, sauces, etc. I also packed a duffle bag with all our dry goods, so we cooked all meals except one at the Villa. We purchased beverages and some incidentals at Adderly’s, but be aware that prices can be steep since everything must be imported. Henry was the most helpful and gracious host – we spoke frequently on the phone and he assisted us cheerfully and quickly with any and all requests we had. He was just wonderful. If you want to fall in love all over again, come to Henry’s Villa on Great Guana Cay.

Best location on Black Point

This was our first trip to the Bahamas and we weren't quite sure what to expect. The pictures of Ocean Villa are nice, but you have to see this place in person to really appreciate Henry's home and what is undoubtedly the best location on Black Point. Situated on a sort of peninsula, Ocean Villa sits right between the Atlantic on one side and the Caribbean on the other. Both are just steps away from the wrap around porch. The views are breathtaking! My wife and I have rented vocation homes for several years now and I have to really compliment Henry for maintaining the property in absolute pristine condition, making sure that we were comfortable and everything was in good order, and for going the extra mile to help us arrange travel logistics for our luggage which apparently decided to take a different airplane from the states than we did! With out a doubt, Ocean Villa has the nicest beach front of all of the rental homes in Black Point. The water is crystal clear, warm and knee deep at high tide. There are Kayaks for exploring Black Point's bay or you can just hang out on the white sand beach. At low tide the water retreats and leaves islands of sand and water for exploring. There you'll find Counch, Starfish, shells, sea crabs. During our stay we also had use of Henry's boat so that we could swim with the pigs in Big Major Cay, swim with the sharks and check out Thunderball Grotto (of James Bond fame) in Staniel Cay, feed the lizards in Guana Cay and explore all the other great places and secluded beaches around Black Point. Henry provided a Marine GPS to make it easy for newcomers to get around on their own or you can also hire one of many locals to be your guide. In town there's Adderley's grocery store which stocks most of the basic items that you'll need to get by. There are several restaurants and a bar or two. We spent most of our time at Lorriane's where we met many of the very friendly and helpful locals. While you're there, you'll want to try Lorraine's Mom's bread. She bakes several varieties fresh and right out of her home behind the restaurant. Exploring the island was a breeze with the golf cart that Henry provides. We found hidden beaches that didn't have a single person or footprint on them! We can't wait to go back to Ocean Villa again and see all of the great people of Black Point that we met. Check it out... you won't be disappointed. Thanks for a great vacation Henry! Rod and Cony Chicago, Illinois, USA

Les points faibles : Propreté, arrivée, communication et exactitude de l’annonce

Worst stay of the three houses in the Bahamas this year.

Henry was cooperative at first. We asked for a place to put our boat and a good cart to rent. We needed a bigger house so he was cooperative and upgraded the house to his bigger one. We arrived after a long crossing in the boat and he wasn’t available to meet us. He said the golf cart we rented would be at the dock. We arrived, no golf cart. We walked to the house and there were two golf carts. Eventually his caretaker showed up and I asked which golf cart we were to use. He told us to use both. We explained we didn’t need both and he said it’s no problem they are both for your use. One seemed to not be charging so we used the other. The caretaker came by and fixed the charger so we used both depending on what key we grabbed of the counter.. They had the owners name on them so they weren’t outside rentals. We were charged for two golf carts and Henry refused to refund. Then we went to cook and there was not any gas for the stove. We asked Henry and he sent his guy by but the stove only stayed lit for 5 min. We had to cook in the microwave. There aren’t any toiletries so bring everything with you. The dock he told us to use was an extra $250 of you are coming by boat. By the time we paid all the extras we could have just stayed in a nicer place. Don’t expect to be able to use the kayaks or sunfish they are missing parts. The view directly behind the house and next door look like a construction site and although nothing Henry can do about it, you loose power daily. We stayed in the three bedroom house but the original reservation was for the two bedroom which is a duplex. We looked and thankfully we switched because the duplexes are really small. The living area is maybe 10’ X 10’ with a small kitchen and bedrooms. The location is great. A little more effort in catering to guest and not focusing on profit over experience and Henry could have a nice rental business but as of this writing, profits seem to be more inmportant than catering to his clientele.

Paradise

The view from this house was amazing! It was a tough decision when choosing to sit on the front porch with beautiful views crashing on the Atlantic side or the back porch where you saw the beautiful turquoise shades of blue on the Caribbean side. The snorkeling was good along the sides and near the boat docks on the Caribbean side. When we were there the Atlantic side was too rough to get in until the last day. We all enjoyed snorkeling and playing in the waves. You need water shoes toget in and out on the Atlantic side due to the rocks. The people on the island are so friendly and helpful. We went on a boat tour with Breadboy who lives just down the road from the house and rented a boat from him another day. We swam with pigs, saw Thunderball Grotto, feed iguanas, swam with Nurse Sharks on Compass Cay, went to “the bubble bath”, went to the aquarium in the land and sea park, snorkeled a coral reef, went to little Farmers Cay and swam with the turtles (amazing) and had a meal a Staniel cay yacht club. Our guide the day we did the tour was David aka Fatcat.. He was wonderful and very knowledgeable. Breadboy stopped at the house to check on us and when he discovered meats from our grocery order were delayed he had his wife Ressa cook us a wonderful dinner of red snapper. She is an amazing cook! Henry was very efficient even from Nassau were he was vacationing. There were no matches to light the gas stove only empty Match boxes and one of the water coolers didn’t have a water jug. - I sent Henry a message about that never expecting an immediate response but within the hour we had matches and water on a Sunday night. He took care of everything we asked or questioned. Our guide to anyone traveling here would be to place a grocery order with Henry before your arrival. If you want anything fresh like produce, fruit or milk during the week you need to go to one of the 2 small stores and preorder for it to come on the mailboat that currently arrives on Thursday. Rent his golf carts because exploring the island on them is part of the experience. The washing machine on the property takes 2.00 in quarters. Take quarters with because it is really difficult to get them on the island. There are 3 restaurants on the island. You need to place your dinner meal order by 4pm on the day you are planning on going or you have a limited menu to choose from. Get bread from the lady in the White House behind Lorraines. It’s amazing.

Need to exterminate, fix shower hot water & pressure, and clean a little better

There was not much water pressure in the shower and the water was warm, not hot. The duplex was not very clean and there were huge cockroaches and tiny roach like bugs that flew everywhere inside the duplex. If you exterminate well, we can visit again...if not, we will not return.

Perfect! The house was clean and moteratley stocked.

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

Great location for an Exumas adventure

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"

Fantastic stay at the duplex—would definitely go back

We had a wonderful eight-night stay at the duplex. (The person who wrote the one-star review must be a hypochondriac or perhaps a grifter. There are no bed bugs, and to suggest that the property was "uninhabitable" is patently absurd.) My wife and I and our two young kids had one side; in-laws were in the other. We loved that the property was at a narrow part of the island so there was a wild, windy beach on one side and a sheltered, safe bay on the other. For the kids, the huge intertidal zone was a great place to wade, wander, and splash around. I did snorkel a bit on the windward side but for most of the (very windy) week it was too rough to try. It was great having two golf carts at our disposal. A few of us went up to the small harbor at the northern end of the island almost every day to go spearfishing out in the channel, and we usually rode into Black Point "town" a few times a day to get groceries, buy conch salad from the guys at the dock, or just putter around. We also took the carts down to Plain Beach, which is pretty much at the end of the road. We had one flat tire which Marko replaced very quickly. Marko also took us out on a boat to see the swimming pigs and the iguanas, the Thunderball grotto, lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club, and some good spearfishing spots. He and just about everyone else we met on the island were friendly and helpful, without being too omnipresent. Complaints? Nothing major. The windy weather did have some screens and doors rattling a bit, and I think some of the latches could stand to be replaced. All minor stuff. A hammock or two on the gazebo would be awfully nice. To-do: Buffet at Lorraine's (great food, great price), quiet dinner at Deshamon's, happy hour at Scorpio. Definitely do a day on a boat to see the nearby sites. If you do any spearfishing, go with a boat or set up a small floating tank/bucket contraption to hold your speared fish. The first day we went out, I had several speared fish on a float line (as I'd done many times in the South Pacific, without incident) and when we were almost back to the dock I let my guard down for a few moments and when I turned back to look at the fish I saw a Caribbean reef shark about two meters away. I watched helplessly as it grabbed the fish and yanked the whole line right out of my dive partner's hand. We ended up finding an empty gas can on the windward beach, which we converted to a floating fish hold. No further run-ins with sharks after that.

The villa is situated in a unique spot on the Great Guana Cay on a hill overlooking both the deep aquamarine waters of the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the shallow bright blue banks of the Exuma to the west. There's a beach and a gazebo right in front of the villa. Splash around in the safety of the shallow calm waters and be sure to try sunfish sailing!
