About this apartment rental

Beautiful 1 bedroom with 2 double beds. Nestled among hundreds of beautiful palm trees on miles of white sandy beaches and blue green water, makes for one of the most spectacular views imagine. This is the view that you will see staying at the Bayinn along with beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Besides the view the neighborhood is a quiet quaint settlement sitting on a hilltop with kind friendly people. Children welcome

The room was clean and comfortable. The beach was amazing and the food and drinks at the restaurant were delicious. The hosts went above and beyond to take care of us, even trying to light a fire to keep the mosquitoes away while we ate outside. They were also very kind and let us leave our bags in the room after check out while we went on an excursion. I would definitely recommend this property, especially if you are on a budget.

I would have to say that if you are looking for a high end stay, this is not the one for you but the price to stay says it all since it’s super cheap. Now, I will start by saying that the place was super clean and the hosts simply the best. From the second I arrived, I felt like family and treated as so. The way I felt and the quality of people and their familiarity reminded me of my childhood back in Cuba where everyone helped each other and the neighbors felt like a giant family. Personally I believe that what I received was way more than what I paid for. The beach was in its entirety for our group and the hosts also own a bar- restaurant by the water to serve all your needs. I can’t wait to go back I truly feel the good Bahamian style of life which is not present in places like Nassau. Rolleville in Exuma it’s a must visit for environmental lovers and people looking to simply disconnect from the noise. Betty and her sister will make sure you have the time of your life and Amos at the bar was simply the best. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness and for sure will see them again soon.

From very warm welcome to easy on everything we've loved and enjoyed our stay very much. We've received a big room with large balcony and all essentials we need. we were worried that we will miss a stove.. But beleive me, You will never be able to beat Beatty's cooking at Cabanna bar. White sand beside of a lot of coconut palms slovly transferring to cerulean-fluorescent color of wather - that is very rear to see, but it is available here, if you stay here. Betty was proposing an aeroport pickup and car rental, that what we should do instead of a kissing a lock at aeroport rental becouse our flight has late for 15 min... Thank you Betty and your family, and hope to find a time to return back.

Its a nice quiet place. There is a lot of things for improvement, but its clean, safe and right on the most beautiful beach. Cute small restaurant on the property with a good food and fair prices. Best conch fritters. If you looking for 5 * go to the next door Sandals.

We had a lovely 3 days at Betty’s place. It’s right on a gorgeous beach. The accommodations were basic but clean and comfortable. We enjoyed meeting people at the Cabanna bar and loved feeling like we were staying in a local Bahamian community instead of a touristy resort. It really gave us a chance to experience the warmth and friendliness of Bahamian culture. Betty and her sister were always available to assist and we had a chance to relax and chill with gorgeous weather and swimming.

A big room with 2 beds a fridge and microwave. No covers or extra pillows, just a fitted sheet and sheet. Ants in bathroom. No breakfast at cabana as stated. Kids with sticks was hitting stray dog on property where my husband was laying in chair on beach and dog became angry and started snipping at my husband out of fear. No shampoo. Found a travel bottle of conditioner. Sliding door broken, very hard to open and close.no coffee pot. Large family lives here. A little bit more rustic than expected. Everyone friendly.

First off, Betty and her family are absolutely amazing! They made us feel so welcome and safe the entire stay. Our room was clean, nice and provided everything we needed for our stay! Location is great with an amazing beach just steps away. Kayaks were available, the cabana had amazing food and drinks. No reason to even leave the area. We will be back!

Miss Betty made us feel like part of a family for a few days. Really the most lovely and authentic stay we could have dreamed of. The property is super clean, spacious and RIGHT on the beach. It’s truly a hidden gem and made this stay EXTRA special. Miss Betty and her family are really the best hosts and would recommend the stay to everyone

This home away from home is a small apartment with full kitchen among other family owened homes and apartments. Betty the host is wonderful and runs a kitchen beside a full beach bar where a handful of locals frequent. We had everything we needed, even a rental car and the whole beach to ourselves! Absolute Paradise for those not looking for a crowd. It was Perfect.

The place is great and the owners treated me like family. I recommend everyone to stay at this place and enjoy the best that Exuma offers. Don’t forget about weekend nights at Cabanna Bar, Ms. Betty excellent cuisine and Mr. Marvin’s conch salad. I had a great time and will definitely come back.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Booked a room with two double beds. Showed up and they gave us a room with 1 double bed that was utterly disgusting. Shower not cleaned - prior guests soap left in there and their hair. What a joy. Dead bugs all over the windows. Killed a cockroach. I checked my reservation and realized they gave us a different room. When we ASKED about it (they said nothing to us) they said we thought you wanted this room as it had a full kitchen and you were trying to save money, and you were a couple (we were not). Sneaky owners (they used the room we booked for other guests). Needless to say we left the next day but with only a partial refund and paying a lot more for another room. The interesting part about VRBO is they do not refund you, so they say, their service fee unless a full refund is given or you contact them within 24 hours (which is nowhere in the policy). They expect you to call them while on your holiday and make it worse than it is? So I ended up paying almost double for a horrendous one nights stay in a place where nightmares are made! I use booking platforms all the time and that's a first. The beach is beautiful but lots of sand flies in this area. Be warned and find another place to stay.

If you are looking to unplug and experience a quiet as well as an absolutely beautiful area of the Bahamas then this is your place. Theres a restaurant/bar on premise with a fairly limited menu however there's a few other dining options within a couple miles. There's a local conveince store S&L where you can pick up enough to make some meals in the room however plan on brining up some food if you're going to be staying for more then a couple days. The grounds are very nicely kept and the employees and locals are very friendly. With exuma point about a 10 minute drive away this is a fantastic location to setup shop to explore the norther part of great exuma Visitor tip - keep your eyes around Martins lodge when driving to exuma point beach. You might see one of those 4 legged animals that exuma is famous for...Im guessing he probably made the swim across or a storm possibly blew him over when he was young?

Although we were having a hard time looking for dining around the area, the hosts offered to make meals and there’s also a restaurant 3 minutes away so it wasn’t too bad. The beach is beautiful and the pig island is near so you can kayak. The apartment was very clean and the host were very helpful and friendly. Thank you Betty and Margaret :)

Most gorgeous beach!

Most gorgeous beach!

Hosts were perfect. Beach was truly one of the top 10 beaches we have ever been to. Walked for miles on gorgeous white sand and tropical Bahamian blue green water everywhere. Accommodations we’re old and worn , bed was very comfortable, air conditioning worked and bathroom was clean. We spent all three days at the beach. Within a block, short walk on the beach, was a beachfront bar and cafe which served lunch, dinner and drinks and was very good. Also could get dinner from our hosts which we did one evening and it was good too.

Bay Inn is a wonderful place to stay

Bay Inn is a wonderful place to stay

We greatly enjoyed our time at the Bay Inn in Rolleville. It's on a great beach that's almost completely empty. There is a small coral reef not far from the shore, that's just covered with a huge number of fish (and one invasive Lionfish). You can take kayaks out to explore the area nearby. There is a restaurant/bar next door (Shoreline) also looking out at the beach. There are even some swimming pigs on an island nearby. It's hard to beat the location. Our room was extremely large, and had a balcony looking out at palm trees and the ocean. Betty and Margaret are great hosts. They cooked dinner for us one night. The are some things that might be negatives for some people. It is a family-run resort, in a Rolleville Commonage area. This means some of their relatives are staying in other rooms in the building, and some are rented to tourists. The relatives have dogs and kids running around. We found everyone really friendly, but don't go expecting a gated resort with nothing but tourists, that's not what this place is. Our room had a fridge/freezer, hot plate, microwave and toaster, but it wasn't a full kitchen. Very minimal cooking supplies, but you could make do. No kitchen sink, so washing up is difficult. However they have plans to add a restaurant on site, add more units next door, and perhaps add full kitchens to each unit. So I think with their fantastic location, their plans for expansion will make it even better. I think it could use a better name, Bay Inn is too generic. Maybe "Rolleville Beach Resort" or something more descriptive of the area.

We found this place by chance and yes we can corm that this is Exuma's best kept secret :). We were there in mid-August and were surprised that we had an almost a private beach! Being able to swim and tan naked proves that this is secret place. Great hosts and beautiful landscape. Coconut trees and what not! All you can imagine for an exotic get away. You can even take a boat to a small island nearby where there are no one else other than yourself. Our only complain was about the conditions of the apartment. It could be better cleaned and maintained. Other than that, it is a dream place and we are planning to go back as soon as we get a second chance. There is nice tavern, and a couple restaurants where you can get some delicious local food. Make sure you try the Conch Salad!

I want to say it was bad just so it will continue to be a secret ;)

I want to say it was bad just so it will continue to be a secret ;)

This was such a wonderful spot. Beautiful, pristine beaches with sparkling blue waters..like those perfect screen saver photos you swear don't exist. Family business with such a great family... We feel honored to have spent time here! Hostess Betty was always ready with suggestions and interesting conversation and everyone else was slso helpful and kind (Thanks Louise for helpng us get settled in as well!) If you're looking for sparkling marble and stuffy staff, please do all of us a favor and head to Sandals. This is a place to bring graciousness and appreciation for the people and the place. We had a 2 room (1 bed) room that included a kitchenette. The space was perfect for 2 of us. The view from the balcony is blue waters thru the coconut palms. Stop at the market on your way from the airport and you'll be set, or enjoy the snack bar on sire (have a gully washer!!), or try one of many restaurants that are under 5 miles. Slow down to island time and recharge.
