Best Place in the Out Islands!

My husband and I island hop on our Cessna in the Bahamas each winter. Our requirements for accommodations are close to an airport, easy transportation on the island, having a kitchen, being on a beach with great views, internet and tv at an affordable price. Lot to ask!!! This cottage provided all of those and more! The owner met us at the airport with a fresh loaf of wonderful coconut Bahamian bread, kept in touch to answer questions, provided us with a golf cart as part of the cottage rental...all for a very afforable price. The cottage location on a ridge between the sailboat filled bay and the Atlantic gave us spectaculor views from all windows in the cottage!! New Construction, very clean!!! Will go back every year!!!!

Anniversary trip

We had an amazing time at Black Point staying in Seaweed Cottage. Ida was very responsive to my questions and arranged a golf cart rental and boat tour for us. She picked us up from the airport, gave us a quick tour of the island pointing out restaurants and markets, and stopped at a market before taking us to her cottage. The golf cart was waiting for us when we arrived which allowed us to explore the island as soon as we got settled in. The cottage is as described- Very clean, comfortable, with amazing waterfront views. The AC works great! TVs in all rooms with streaming services. The boat tour she arranged included 8 stops (including lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club.) I highly recommend the tour- saw the pigs, iguanas, beautiful sandbar, sharks, Rachel’s bubble bath, Thunderball grotto. We spent 3 days at the most beautiful, secluded beach nearby called Plain Bay. Highly recommend this beach! I packed basic snacks for our stay which allowed us to stay at the beach all day and we only went to restaurants at night. We ate at Emerald View, Lorraine’s High Tide, and Black Point YC. Ida’s son picked us up and took us to the airport for our departure. We will be back to stay in her cottage again but will stay longer next time! Thank you, Ida, for sharing your home with us!

Great Place to Vacatio and Get Away!!!

Our family of four stayed here for 7 wonderful nights. Every view from the cottage was beautiful. We pretty much had all of the beaches and ocean to ourselves! We spent some good unconnected time and slower pace with our boys. Ida was a great host. Cottage was very clean and was perfect for our family. We had Ida order groceries ahead of time (highly recommend). We met some wonderful folks both who live on the island or were vacationing. Recommend: Beach at end of King's Street, Happy Hour at Scorpios, Fishing with Clifton Smith (Staniel Cay), snorkeling off the bay in front of the cottage along the rocks at low tide, jet ski rental by Bread Boy, fresh bread by Coreen, swimming with the pigs, sandbar in the middle of the Cays, nurse sharks at Compass Cay, golf cart rides around the island, dinner at Deshommons (order dinner ahead of time), lobsters from Craven at the dock behind the laundromat, basketball games in the evening with the local kids, haircut for the kids by Ida right on the bay, Ida's homemade carrot cake and conch fritters. Bring bug spray for when the wind dies down! We will definitely come back and bring others to enjoy this wonderful place.

Exactly what we needed !!

When my husband and I decided to revisit the Bahamas for our 5 year anniversary, we dreamed of literally being alone on a tropical island together and that is exactly what we got at Blackpoint. This was such a great way to take in the local cultures and escape the traditional tourist tracks. The cottage was perfect, Ida and Terrance were amazing hosts and we truly had the time of our lives !! The golf cart is a must, there are so many private beaches to explore here. The boat is a must !! We visited the pigs, the iguanas, the gratto, and snorkeled until we couldn't snorkel anymore. The cottage was equiped with paddleboard and a kayak. There was truly nothing more we could have asked for. We came just outside of the "season" and only had 3 neighbors who were great. One thing to note, the pictures of the cottages only show 3 structures, but this bluff has about 10 different property rentals on it. As we came off-season, we still had a lot of privacy as most of the properties were not occupied. Just something to note if you are looking for a truly private experience. This was the best time that we have ever had and hope to come back and visit again very soon. Thank you Ida and Terrance for everything !

Just what we were looking for!

Spent 3 nights in one of Ida's four properties with my wife and 2 kids (10 and 12 years old). We absolutely loved it! The property itself was clean, roomy, comfortable, and situated a few steps away from an incredible sandy beach. Kayaks, hammock, lounge chairs, and paddle board are all made available for no extra cost and we made use of all of them. Black Point is a really charming town with super friendly people. We rented a golf cart from Ida which made getting around a breeze. My son played basketball with the local kids after school our first day there which was a blast. The kids were awesome and really made my son feel welcome. Ida was super helpful and renting a boat from her along with a captain to give us a day-tour of the surrounding islands and beaches was just jaw dropping. An absolute must! Supper at Lorraine's and buying freshly baked coconut bread from Lorraine's mom was also a standout. Just be aware that it is very relaxed on the island so long waits for supper can be expected. As a matter of fact, part of the menu is only available if you pre-order hours in advance... but it is well worth it. Ordered the snapper in the afternoon for our supper at 19:00 and it was delicious. Basically, if you are looking for a relaxing vacation away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas, black point delivers in spades. 3 days was not enough, we are already planning our next vacation here and will be staying 7 to 10 days next time. See you soon Ida!

Similar to a review below, I am also hesitant to write a rave review simply because it would be my hope that this remains, for the most part, one of the undiscovered gems of the Exuma Cays. This was our first time in the Bahamas, and of all the Caribbean destinations we have traveled, this is by far the most fun we've had! Ida and Terrence are wonderful hosts; this stay will exceed your expectations in ways that cannot be put into words! The locals are all so friendly and unlike many other Caribbean islands, actually make a point of getting to know you...we even had a few of them over to our cottage for drinks one evening. We had been given nicknames by the second day of our stay Lorraine's mother makes the most amazing coconut bread--she bakes it out of her charming home kitchen behind Lorraine's cafe. If you are an experienced boater- renting a boat is a must in order to experience all the Exumas has to offer. We rented a boat from Raymond 'Breadboy', expensive but worth it. Ida and Terrence also have a very nice boat available as well. Having the golf cart included was a huge bonus- we did a lot of birdwatching and exploring on remote dirt roads and deserted beaches on Great Guana Cay. If you are looking for resort-type ammenities and lots of sightseeing and tourist attractions, this is not the place for you! But if you are looking to get away from it all and experience the 'real Bahamas', this is the place for you! I would only recommend bringing with you as much food as possible as groceries can be limited and fairly pricey. We brought pasta, rice, crackers, chips, trail mix, oatmeal, spices, etc. and ate very well. Thank you Ida, you were a wonderful host and we are looking forward to our next trip to Black Point :)

Beautiful Beachfront Property to just Relax

Our family of 5 (3 kids between ages 9-13) stayed in the 2 bdr cottage and we loved it. It's noteworthy to mention that the prices on the listing are for renting out all four (4) cottages (2 x 2bdr and 2 x 1bdr). The cottage itself is clean and comfortable. It sits atop of a hill just 50 yards away from the Atlantic and it backs up to a small Cape. The evening breeze is incredible and the view of the stars is incredible! The kids had fun exploring the island, jumping off of the dock with the island kids, swimming, and snorkeling. The island itself is small and everyone there was incredibly friendly and hospitable. The landlady, Ida, was so generous with her time and knowledge. She took care of any arrangements we needed. She has a few boats available for rent and she arranged for a guide. He took us to swim with the pigs, iguana island, ThunderBall grotto, Staniel Cay, Compass Cay to swim with the tame nurse sharks, and a few great snorkeling spots. Hanging out with the pigs was amazing. We discovered that they know how to "sit" on command. The ThunderBall grotto was beautiful and full of fish. We didn't haves the the guts to jump from the top into the grotto but it was fun watching others do it. We enjoyed ourselves so much we decided to go back and do it again three days later. The boat is available for rent without the guide as well and since the waters are peaceful and shallow is was easy to get around the nearby Cays. The island is remote so if you are looking for urban nightlife this isn't the place, but I can't think of a better place to relax, enjoy each other's company, take in the beautiful scenery and get an authentic Bahama experience this is the place. Even though we started and ended our vacation with a couple of days in Nassau (and while we certainly had fun there) our stay in Black Point Exuma Cay was the highlight of the trip. I highly recommend taking the extra trip from Nassau to Black Point to stay in Ida's cottages.

The way life should be... heaven...

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we did not have a care in the world (other than making sure you ordered your dinner the night before or the morning before you started your day). Ida and everyone on the island were just so welcoming. They made you feel right at home. We hired a captain and spent a day touring the island by boat. Saw the famous pigs, iguanas, swam with the nurse sharks, had lunch at Staniel Cay, swam at Thunderball Grotto, stopped to take pictures and walk on an amazing sand bar, stopped and picked up some amazing oversized starfish and released them back into the water. If you have the time, I highly recommend this trip as it is a day you will never forget. The cottage location is perfect. The views were just… amazing. We spent days just lying on our chairs reading and taking it all it. Directly behind the cottage is the Atlantic side which is great for shelling and finding sea glass if that is your thing and also for exploring which we love to do. If you are internet dependent this is not the vacation for you at all. Internet at the cottage is not dependable. In town it is more reliable. This is a place to unplug and "let it go" as we kept joking all week. You will need to rent a golf cart to explore as there are some really beautiful beaches to see and spend time at while you are on BP. I would recommend bringing basics from Nassau. If you like your am coffee and half & half bring that as well as they do NOT sell it on the island. We brought bread, cheese, crackers, bagels and snack foods and what they sell in the market is basic and expensive. Would we return, yes! Our last night on our vacation was spent at Atlantis in Nassau and we both agreed we will never be staying at a large resort ever again. We have been spoiled by the luxury and warm hearts of the people of Black Point and we could never thank them enough for making our vacation so memorable.

Amazing Getaway!

Where to begin. Our stay at Ida and Terrance's cottage was amazing. Our flight from Nassau to Black Point was delayed for 4 hours the morning we were to arrive. Our phones were not working so we had no way to get in touch with Ida, so obviously we were a little worried about her picking us up from the airport once we landed. Not only was she there waiting on us when our plane arrived, but she had lunch waiting for us (chicken and rice) and it was awesome! Also, provided to us at the cottage was a case of bottle water, a freshly baked loaf of coconut bread (delicious), and a cell phone to use locally. Ida thought of everything from the restaurant menus to a map of the island. My wife had mentioned to Ida on our way to the cottage how she couldn't wait to try some conch fritters and you guessed it, by the third night Ida made her some and they were very tasty. Okay, enough about how great of a host Ida is, lets talk about the cottage and island. The 1 bedroom cottage we stayed in was more like a studio. It was perfect in size for us and very clean. We had a view of the Atlantic on the front porch and the Caribbean on the back porch. The cottage sits right on the bay, so you can take a dip whenever you want. We snorkeled around the bay and around the beach on the other side of the island (Ida can tell you how to get there), which is about a 10 minute drive in the golf cart provided. The locals are extremely friendly and are very easy to talk to and very willing to help you if you need anything. We liked hanging out at Scorpios. You can stay there and have a few drinks or buy a case of Kalik for $55.00 and take it with you. Ida also has a boat that you can rent, which we did. Its a 17' Boston Whaler (very nice), she also provided us with a tour guide upon request. The trip is a little pricey, but definitely worth it. We stopped at 3 awesome snorkeling spots, fed the pigs and iguanas, saw Johnny Depp and Tyler Perry's Islands. It was very fun! Thank you Ida for everything. We cant wait to come back and visit in the near future!

LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT!

This was such a wonderful location and we have such amazing memories that we will never forget! The whole experience was a delight from the beginning. We were able to leave Nassau 4 hours early because the all nine passengers and pilot were checked in and ready. It was a beautiful flight with wonderful colors of the sea. When we got to Black Point, the lady who ran the airport tried to reach Ida for us as we arrived early but could not get hold of her. So she put the 5 of us and our luggage in her pickup truck and she tracked down Ida. The 2 bedroom cottage was very nicely decorated with beautiful views on both sides of the property. Lots of towels and comfy beds. It had AC, which we did not use, reliable internet and TV which was only turned on for Sunday football. We spend most of our time on the deck or on the private beach. We did rent a golf cart which was a fun way to get around and see the area. There is the most amazing white sand beach about a 15 minute golf cart away (or about an hour easy walk). We were the only ones on it. The water was so clear and so pretty. We saw lots of stingrays. We did rent a boat and a guide one day to see the iguanas, feed the swimming pigs, swim with the nurse sharks and snorkel. It was definately a highlight for us. I am very grateful to Ida, who realized the winds had picked up and it was pretty rough, so she called our guide and got him to drop us off at a sheltered bay and she sent someone to pick us up in a pickup truck and drive us back to our cottage. The people of Black Point were warm and friendly. We did have groceries sent over from Nassau and were able to find what we needed at the local store to supplement as well as buying homemade bread from Corene. The bar (Scorpios) provided off sales of beer and rum. The beer was expensive but the rum was cheap. And Happier Hour was fun. Ida looked out for us and checked up on us every once in awhile to make sure we had everything. She was a wonderful person and we hope to be back one day. It was by far our favorite place!

WAY better than ever expected

I don't even know where to begin. Ida was wonderful from the very beginning. Responsive with inquiries from VRBO, provided several suggestions as to how to get to Black Point, what to bring, what to do, where to go etc. We stayed overnight in Nassau and flew Flamingo Air, early on a Saturday am. When we arrived in Black Point, Ida was waiting on us and we immediately felt like a local. Everyone on the island was extremely nice and welcoming. Our luggage was misplaced from Nassau to BP...it was not Ida's fault at all, although she did everything she could to help us, including calling the airlines every hour on the hour, arranging for someone to meet us on Staniel Cay and take us to a gift shop to buy bathing suits! This is just a small example of her hospitality and loyalty to her guests. We rented a boat from Ida's husband, who also is extremely nice. The boat was in great condition and was perfect for island hopping. Our first day back from island hopping, Ida met us on the dock with wonderful food that has just been cooked. It was amazing local BBQ & rice. Another day, she brought us freshly made carrot cake - amazing. The cottages are in perfect shape. All appliances were in excellent condition, linens smelled so fresh and were crisp...cleaner than many hotels I've stayed in. She had all of the necessities stocked at the cabin including water, sunscreen, soap, hair dryer, etc. There are two local stores with necessity items if needed and the local homemade coconut bread is amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed the porch with table for dinner at sunset. The cottages have a breathtaking view at any time during the day especially sunrise and sunset. There is also a private beach just for Ida's cottages with chairs, volleyball, and a kayak. The beach is located perfectly to view the sunset and when it is low tide, you can walk all the way to the boat dock. We found tons of starfish and sand dollars at low tide. Black Point is beautiful. It is quiet, yet the local restaurants have bars if you want to enjoy company. By the end of the week, we knew everyone at the restaurants by name and frequently enjoyed meals with them. The island is also very clean and I always felt safe. Ida's cottages come with a golf cart and that is a necessity. They were in great condition. You are lucky to have found Ida's cottages and I highly recommend them. We will definitely be visiting Ida again.

We wanted a great holiday get-away, just the two of us. 10 days. She met us at the airport, checked on us multiple times, met our every need, amazing place, private, low key. I wouldn't question booking this immediately again. Extremely clean and had everything we needed. No exceptions! Still in communication with her as our friend because we already miss her!

Fabulous cottage located on Black point.

Fabulous cottage located on Black point. Location is an A+. Communication was on island time. Upon arrival in Blackpoint found out Landlord was in Nassau. Had to track down her son to get checked in. No washer and dryer at site even though it says that is an amenity. Everything on island easily accessible by golf cart. Golf carts are available for rent from Landlord. If you’re flying out of Staniel Cay you must take a boat to Staniel. Best plans are to fly in and out of blackpoint. Well worth the money!

Welcome to Paradise in Black Point Cay!

Hi, it’s my sincere pleasure to recommend Ida Patton’s cottages in Black Point Cay. Her rentals are located with beautiful views of the leeward and windward sides of the island- just breathtaking. The cottages give you privacy and are extremely clean and well decorated. They are walking distance to great quaint restaurants and Ida also has great deals on powered boats, with or without guides, golf cart, and bike rentals. Ida is wonderful. A lifelong friend now after this trip because she puts her heart and soul into everything she does. She made our trip so easy and pleasant. Thank you Ida! All your great reviews are true, and thank you for your hospitality, kindness and help with every detail! I could go on and on about Ida - she is wonderful and it started before our trip as she answers questions before you go and can help you with any logistics, supply and any ideas you have for activities. She picked us up from the airport and she and Dellwood helped from day one to provide us with fantastic customer service! Dellwood also was a wonderful boat and tour guide and showed our family so many places to snorkel, and experience - certainly more than any commercial guided trip advertised - we saw it all! This is exactly what you want when you vacation. So many pictures and videos of unique spots and fun! Thank you Dellwood- you were wonderful! Takeaway- I have traveled with the military in many places around the world and this is one of the safest, most beautiful places I have ever been. I will be back and 100% will continue to rent from Ida! I also rented a 4 seater prop airplane into Black Point and the airport is great. No worries parking and everyone on the island is great! The sand here is like sugar-just amazing. The water is ice blue- on the leeward side and a beautiful blue on the windward side. Between my daughters and Wife and I we probably took 500 pictures or more. You just can’t believe how pretty this Island and the surrounding Exuma islands are unless you experience it yourself! Looking forward to returning!

Great week at Ida’s cottage.

Wonderful hiiltop location overlooking beautiful calm beach on one side and the rougher but also wonderful Atlantic beach on other. If strong swimmer, very nice close reefs on Atlantic side. Cottages exceptionally well maintained with all needed amenities. Definitely rent golf cart as Island itself has many empty beaches and nice spots you can go on your own (over rocky dirt roads). But also rent a boat for at least for few days to see all nearby attractions and hundreds of nearby beaches on other islands. Suggest boat guide for at least one day to show you the pigs, sharks, where get gas, and tips on navigating local water/fishing spots- Ida’s son was ours and did great job. Town has a few restaurants and grocery stores- but if staying longer definitely bring canned meats/rice/pasta. If you like to fish bring your rods (squid bait can be bought at Staniel Cay) and you will have food for the whole week. . Small town extremely friendly all of whom will know you in a few days- and as a definite plus staying at Blackpoint you avoid the uppity Yacht set crowd on Staniel. But best thing of rental is Ida herself. One of friendliest nicest people we have met. She will always go out of her way help you in any way possible.

Paradise

Black Point is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. The location of the cottage is perfect. You have water views from the front porch and the back deck. The water is crystal clear and the beaches are pristine. Words cannot describe how truly breathtaking this slice of paradise is. The people of Black Point are some of the loveliest, friendliest and kindest that I have ever met. Dining at Deshamons is a must! They accommodated every special request that we made. Definitely rent a golf cart. WiFi is spotty so try to unplug and enjoy the charm of this incredibly special place. A heartfelt thank you to our host, Ida, who picked us up from the airport, arranged an amazing boat tour, drove us back to the airport upon departure and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a fabulous vacation. This special place will always have a place in my heart and I look forward to returning!

Great Place we will be back.

The beach cottage was great and Black Point is so quaint and the water is the clearest I have ever seen. We rented a golf cart and I would recommend this for sure almost a necessity. We stayed a week and it did rain and had heavy winds the first part of the week but that subsided by mid week. We had to make the best of it. We did have a power outage one night and had a commutation issue with Ida but it was taken care of. We rented a boat and did the grotto and saw the pigs and iguanas. Ida packed us some food to give to both. She is really sweet. Note don't take the food out of boat on pig beach only feed the pigs once your leaving on boat. We also took the boat in a separate day down to farmers Cay and feed the turtles. Go to Ty's and have a drink and visit Roosevelt Nixon at the yacht club in Farmers Cay for lunch. Also eat at Deshamons we had fish almost every meal Simon and Diann Smith own this and they are the nicest people. Diann makes the best cakes and breads. Ida also makes great carrot cake. Also make sure you golf cart to Plain Bay beach it is the best beach in all the Bahamas. The people who live in Black Point are very nice and friendly. We can't Wait to visit again!!.

Amazing position ! Amazing host ! Amazing island living !

Ida's cottages have an incredible position on a very characteristic and charming bay that at low tide reveals many sandbars and allows for morning walks to the other side while looking for starfish and chasing sea birds ! Never seen such a place ! Moreover because they are located right were the island narrows down, depending on the wind you can walk down (few steps) to either side of the island and enjoy flat calm waters anyhow. You really have the impression to be on your own tiny island. The cottage itself is spot clean and like-new conditions. Sincerely we were not expecting such a beautiful place in such pristine state which you can call home for few days. Ida will go above and beyond to make your stay wonderful. She will arrange boat tours of Exumas cays to see pigs, iguanas, sharks, etc...at our request she managed to find fresh fish and provided a BBQ grill for us to cook it. Highly recommend renting from her a golf cart to be able to visit the many secrets and unspoiled beaches of the island. The best ones are only a short ride away and they are not to be missed. Figure incredible deserted white and rose sand beaches with a water so transparent that you can almost drink it and I admit I tasted it ! Just before sunset you have rays coming to shore on almost any beach looking for dinner and they eventually will bump into your feet if you stand still ! We visited South Pacific many times and so far this is the only Caribbean place that can compare. Please remember you are on a secluded little island in the middle of the sea not really different from being on a sailboat cruise so that you will appreciate things like internet (available via DSL and sometine subject to the wills of the elements...) and fresh water (produced by sea water desalinization) available at Ida's or being able to find (few) produces at local stores. We thoroughly enjoyed the stay and I personally went unconnected for a while and totally relaxed. Many many thanks to Ida as an exceptional host. She will pick you up at the airport (well...a short landing strip...the flight itself is quite an experience) and drive you back and wait for the plane with you, just like family !

Most amazing trip

If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway, this is the place. I can't begin to explain what an amazing time we had at Black Point. Ms. Ida is such a wonderful host. Her cottages were so clean and cozy, not to mention in a perfect location with an incredible view. We had a golf cart to get around the island and to go exploring. You can rent a boat to island hop over to Pig Beach, Iguana Beach, Thunderball Grotto and more. The people on the island were all so friendly and fun to be around. Everyone made us feel right at home everywhere we went. Thank you, Ms. Ida, for your hospitality and kindness and for helping us have this incredible vacation. Tabetha DuPriest

We loved every day we spent there.

My husband and I had a blast in Ida and Terrance cottage. It was our first time on Bahamas and we wanted to get as local as possible. From the first minute of our arrival we realized that it was a right choice: 15 minutes boat ride to the cottage from Staniel Island, turquoise water, warm greeting by our hosts made us happy end excited. The cottage is smartly decorated with conditioner and ceiling fan. Very comfortable bathroom with a spacious shower stall, fully equipped kitchen and complimentary water. Upon arrival we have to do food shopping: convenience store was 20 minutes walk and a short distance to the dock across the bay. First time in our lives we used kayak to "go" to the grocery store. This chore turned out to be a fun kayak trip to the local food store and a bar where we found everything we needed: beer, rum, gin, tonic, and wine. We are not picky so eggs, milk, serial, canned food, and freshly baked coconut bread were sufficient for our breakfasts and lunches. Several nights we enjoyed delicious suppers in the local restaurants. And a couple of nights we cooked the fish that my husband caught in the ocean right from the beach 200 feet away from the cottage. Hiking, swimming, kayaking occupied us all week long and if we could we would stay there forever. Ida and Terrance checked on us almost daily and were very responsive to our needs. My husband brought all fishing gears but forgot fishing poll at home. Ida and Terrance brought us several polls the same night that made my husband very happy. We highly recommend this cottage to all people who prefer to stay off beaten tourists tracks and go with the flow. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Ida and Terrance.

Exumas one of the most beautiful places on Earth!

One word can describe our visit to Exuma Cays "Amazing" . My Daughter and I visited BlackPoint Cay and stayed in Ida's two bedroom cottage. She was a gracious host and owner. Everything was perfect. Upon arrival she greeted us at the airport with our rented Golf Cart true VIP status. The cottages are very well decorated and with all amenities as a home away from home. Views from the cottages simply breathtaking with a gorgeous sunset every day. She also arranged a boat rental that we used for the day to visit the swimming pigs and other Cays in the area. Simply beautiful area The EXUMAS! Cant wait to go back. Warm friendly people on Black Point we had an awesome vacation. Thank you Ida look forward to returning soon.
