Property was as listed and Ulrisa was very easy to deal with.

The surrounding beauty of this property can not be beat. Open ocean to one side and the Caribbean blue to the other. The hosts were very responsive to any needs and the boat tour from Breadboy was amazing. Keep in mind the Island is very remote, if you are going bring with you the necessities such as hand/dish soap paper towels, etc..There are a few small stores on the island and the host did do some shopping for us before hand. If you do this remember to add in the necessities. Having the Kayaks was a huge bonus as we were able to go out everyday at high tide and see the rays, sharks and turtles. You can even paddle over to the local restaurant and have a beverage! The patio furniture was rough and falling apart, but we made due. Something to sit on down by the water at sunset was a must!
The house has the bare minimum of what you need, not luxury but the surroundings more than make up for it. We had excellent service at the restaurants and rented the golf cart for a few days, that’s all you need to get around. Overall, just a beautiful place if you like low key and natural beauty. Just remember it is very remote and any resources are a flight away.
Thank you “Rissa” and Breadboy, we will be back one day..

The property was wonderful. We actually stayed at the the blue house. The views were amazing. The entire house has been upgraded with a modern kitchen and a tiled shower. There is a stone walkway to the water. We rented a boat and went to Pig Beach (Majors Cay) and Staniel Cay Yacht Club for a day. This is a must do activity. If one is not competent at navigation a guide is a must. We rented a golf cart for a few days and found a couple amazing beaches. Sunrise on the ocean is a five minute walk and sunset from the deck was spectacular on the bay side. Town is an easy walk or golf cart ride with excellent small restaurants. Nothing fancy but good food. Overall Black Point is a wonderfully quiet place for a low key vacation. Ulrisa and Bread Boy are wonderful hosts!

We came in by private boat and ran out of daylight, and Raymond was kind enough to come rescue us from Staniel Cay with his knowledge of the local waters. They even upgraded us from the property we booked to one with more bedrooms and bathrooms that was even closer to the beach! Black Point is an amazing change of pace from Staniel Cay (much less touristy and incredibly beautiful scenery/bay), and Raymond and Ulrisa have some of the best views on the whole island. I honestly cannot express how thankful we are for Raymond and Ulrisa's hospitality and generosity, and we absolutely will be booking a trip back here again. 10000/10 stay and 1000000000/10 hosts!

Great time with everyone in Black Point. Breadboy was great and the property was very clean, air conditioning was perfect and as I like o cook the cabin had all the cooking utensils required. The restaurants on the island were excellent and renting a boat from Breadboy made going to the tourist locations easy and fishing for Bonefish easy as well. Sorry for the shortness of this report but I don't usually write this much but this place was perfect for me. Will plan to come again. Thanks Breadboy and also need to mention our first boat trip was with Magic (Breadboy 's brother), he took us to all the tourists locations and gave us a good lay of the land , I highly recommend this to everyone. Thanks Magic!!!!

We left two days early... The listing description and pictures did not show the reality in multiple ways. Pictures did not show the satellite dish just outside the kitchen door, the houses that blocked the water view, the accumulated garbage out front of the house which was there during our entire stay, nor the dryer that needed to be opened using a wooden spoon because it had no handle, nor the constantly barking dogs including one that was locked up in a cage outside all day and night, and another chained outside who could not be let off because it might bite. The owners are right next door and loud, especially the husband and there were two brand new puppies taken away from their mom too early who cried and barked non-stop. I could go on and on.
Also, the owners super-charge for every additional request for outings/activities--even for drinking water--or getting to another island for dinner, etc. at prices that are outrageous and abusive.
The island is beautiful and we had some lovely times at beaches we discovered. It's really better set up for boaters who can visit and stay on their boats. Groceries are extremely limited and forget about trying to get fresh fish and produce. We would like to return perhaps one day, but would never stay in one of Raymond and Risa's properties. Apparently there are much better run options nearby.

Had a wonderful time on Black Point! Ulrissa and Breadboy are awesome hosts and extremely knowledgeable about the islands. Renting a boat for several days is a must!

Words cannot describe the beauty of BlackPoint and this home. Our family had an amazing vacation at this home. We were so happy we decided to come to BlackPoint and escape the hustle and bustle of Nassau. We loved swimming in the harbour where we treated to seeing stingrays and a baby loggerhead turtle. Ulrisa and Breadboy were wonderful hosts. Ulrisa arranged for our groceries to be stocked in the house at our arrival. Our flight in was pre-check in and our flight out was post-check-in. In both instances Ulrisa kindly allowed us to stay in the home. We went out on boat trips with their son who was so knowledgable and patient with us, helping us find places that our two young children would love to visit around the exumas.
I really cannot say enough about this trip. I hope our paths lead us back to BlackPoint one day and we would definitely stay in this house again. Ulrisa and Breadboy are wonderful hosts and kind people.
