Discover Life in Old Fort Bay

Old Fort Bay, on the western shores of Nassau, blends history, nature, and modern island living in a way few places can. The heart of the community is the restored 18th-century fort, now a private clubhouse and gathering place shaded by a centuries-old Silk Cotton tree. 

Around it, lush tropical landscaping, pristine beaches, and winding canals create a setting that feels both secluded and welcoming. Families bike along quiet streets, boaters head out from private docks, or friends meet at The Club — life here has a warmth and rhythm all its own.

What makes Old Fort Bay stand out:

• Restored 18th-century fort, now an exclusive clubhouse and restaurant
  

• Private access to one of New Providence’s finest beaches
  

• Eco-friendly design preserving native trees and coastal beauty
  

• Canal-front living with boat docks and deep-water access
  

• Minutes from Nassau’s international airport and Lyford Cay
  

• Family-friendly atmosphere with nearby top-rated schools
  

• Lively community spirit with events and gatherings at The Club

Investors are drawn to the community’s steady demand and prestige, while families appreciate the close proximity to schools and the airport.

Beachfront Homes 

Old Fort Bay is home to some of the most coveted beachfront properties in The Bahamas. Yet few listings are available at any time, so these residences remain rare finds that hold their value. 

Estates here offer direct access to one of the island’s finest stretches of sand. You can enjoy sweeping ocean views from breezy verandas designed for indoor-outdoor living. Many estates feature guest cottages surrounded by lush gardens for ultimate seclusion. 

Beachfront homes appeal most to families and retirees seeking a private escape and international buyers looking for a second home that captures the best of island living. 

Canal-Front Homes 

The canal-front properties are perfect for boaters as many include private docks, deep-water access, and space for yachts. These homes are ideal for those who want to spend more time on the water. Just step off your veranda and onto your boat in mere minutes. 

Buyers range from young families who love the active lifestyle to seasoned investors who recognise the long-term appeal of canal-front living.

Rentals in Old Fort Bay

Rentals in Old Fort Bay are limited, making them highly sought-after. Most homes available for lease are furnished estates, offering tenants the same world-class amenities and privacy that owners enjoy. The rental market here caters to executives, expats on long-term assignments, and families wanting to test out the lifestyle before purchasing. 

With only a handful of leases signed each year, competition is strong, and well-maintained homes tend to be taken quickly. Investors can expect steady income because the scarcity and prestige of this gated community keep rental demand high and ensure properties rarely sit on the market for long.

• Average Rental Price: $45,000

• Median Rental Price: $45,000

• Rental Price Range: $45,000

• Typical Rental Appeal: Families, Snowbirds, and  high-level expats seeking turnkey luxury in a secure, close-knit community
