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 !
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!
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.
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 !
