The epitome of paradise, the Bahamas are what beach dreams are made of. A high-income and developed country, tourism is the main contributor to the economy. Which is why they take such great care of tourists.

Finding the best rental to call your island home doesn’t need to be a headache. There are plenty of Bahamas Airbnbs to suit every preference. Although you’ll rarely find hostels, you’ll be happy to know that condos and private rooms don’t cost an arm and a leg. Even if you have a strict budget, you can have a private space without breaking the bank.

A top tip is to check with your host if they offer airport transfers for free, or for a small fee. Make sure you start off your Bahamas getaway on the right foot.

Private Rooms

There are so many Bahamas Airbnbs that cater to travelers on a strict budget. Whether you are looking to stay right by the beach or in town, booking a private room is a great option and reasonably priced.

You can have the entire room to yourself but still be able to mingle with other guests in common areas such as pools, gyms, and patios. Private rooms commonly have private bathrooms, but there may be the occasional spot with a shared bathroom.

You may even find an entire guest suite, which is like a studio apartment on your host’s property.

Condo Units

Condo units are all over the Bahamas, and are one of the most popular accommodation options. Most are catered to couples but bigger condos can be found for families and groups of friends.

They offer great value for money, and come with a all the amenities such as pools, gyms, and BBQ areas. One of the best things about condos is that they are nevevilr far away from the most happening places. Guests will find themselves next door to restaurants, bars, and shopping areas.

Villas or Residential Homes

Villas and home are some of the most expensive options on Airbnb. But, guests will be spoiled no end with top-notch amenities. A lot of the island’s villas are oceanfront with stunning views and many villa vacation rentals in the Bahamas come with a private beach, private pool, and are surrounded by palm trees.

A great option for families or large groups of friends, you will also find smaller entire rental units for a romantic, luxury getaway. What’s better than waking up to complete luxury?

Planning a tropical getaway can be complicated. Let Airbnb make it easier with their smooth and hassle free system.

• Staying Long-Term: If you are planning an extended stay in the Bahamas, you can take advantage of the long-term discounts often offered by hosts.
• Airbnb Experiences: Nothing makes your stay more authentic than an intimate, personal tour conducted by locals. I’ve compiled my favorite Airbnb Experiences in the Bahamas you absolutely must try.
• Unique Vacation Rentals: Hotel rooms are boring. Mix it up a little with the most distinct and gorgeous Airbnbs in the Bahamas. You’ll find luxury that you won’t find in a hotel, such as a private beach or paradise beachfront cottages.
• Privacy: There are plenty of private homes and rooms available on Airbnb. All you need to do is filter, and scroll through the endless options.
• Affordability: Airbnb is the best place to find affordable places to stay. Cheaper than hotels yet the same quality, comfort, and convenience – what more could you want?!
