Middle Cay offers a unique "bridge" between the total seclusion of a private island and the social vibrancy of Harbour Island (Briland). Located just a 5-minute boat ride from the world-famous Pink Sands Beach and Dunmore Town’s high-end boutiques, Middle Cay allows guests to dip into the social scene and retreat to their own sovereign 2-acre sanctuary in minutes. The island is impeccably maintained, featuring a working miniature lighthouse and two private docks (one with an automatic boat lift). With a focus on high-service "barefoot luxury," the rental includes a dedicated boat captain and daily housekeeping, making it an ideal choice for multi-family groups who want a private base with easy access to the Bahamas’ most iconic social hub.
Accommodations & Design The estate is split between two air-conditioned villas totaling 7 bedrooms, featuring a modern Bahamian aesthetic with coral stone floors and vaulted wood ceilings.
The Main House (4 Bedrooms): Features a sprawling master suite with 270-degree ocean views and a private patio. The open-plan living area includes a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a dining table for 8.
The Guest Cottage (3 Bedrooms): A self-contained luxury retreat with its own kitchen, living area, and a child-friendly suite featuring a twin bunk and trundle bed.
Outdoor Spaces: The villas open onto extensive terraces, a heated swimming pool, an outdoor shower, and a fire pit area for evening s'mores.
Amenities & Inclusions The Middle Cay experience is designed for effortless adventure:
Included Marine Fleet: Use of a 22' Pursuit boat with a captain (fuel extra) for local transfers and snorkeling trips. Also included are 3 kayaks, 2 paddleboards, and 3 Yamaha underwater sea scooters.
Staff & Service: Your stay includes a private boat captain available for daily excursions, an on-site concierge, and 4 hours of daily "light-touch" housekeeping.
Available at Extra Cost: A larger 34' Intrepid boat for long-distance excursions to the swimming pigs or Spanish Wells, a private chef, butler service, and grocery provisioning.
Leisure: A beach volleyball court, snorkeling gear, and fishing rods are provided for guest use.
How Private Is This Island? Privacy at Middle Cay is tactical. While you are geographically close to Harbour Island, the 2-acre perimeter and lack of neighbors create a secure, gated-style environment. The island is strictly for the exclusive use of your party; the boat captain is at your beck and call, meaning you control exactly when you interact with the outside world. For high-profile families, this "private island proximity" is the ultimate luxury—you can enjoy a private chef dinner on your own beach at 8 PM and be at a high-end Briland club by 10 PM, with a private captain waiting at the dock to whisk you back to your silent sanctuary whenever you choose.
