Island paradise at Bahamas vacation home rentals
Made up of over 700 islands, as well as many coral reefs and rocky cays, The Bahamas sit among the sparkling Atlantic Ocean, with year-round sunny weather. Book Bahamas vacation rentals and you can enjoy long days on the white, sandy beaches, taking dips in the turquoise sea or sitting under a palm tree. However, it's worth hiring a boat or taking a tour for some island hopping, visiting uninhabited islands and scuba diving to spot exotic fish. Discover small towns with colorful markets, and visit Nassau to learn about Bahamian culture, with museums and traditional restaurants.

Activities near Bahamas vacation homes
The best way to explore The Bahamas is underwater, where there's a colorful world, full of coral reefs and exotic fish. Mermaid Reef in Abaco has an abundance of sea life, with schools of fish and moray eels swimming through the warm, clear seas. Your instructor might even take you through some underwater caves where you can get up close to reef sharks, who often swim close to divers. Explore the spooky Sugar Wreck off Grand Bahama Island. This shipwreck is home to many exotic fish and is just 20 feet below the surface making it suitable for beginners.
Best time to travel to Bahamas vacation homes
The Bahamas have warm weather almost year-round, reaching up to the mid-80s. However, the most popular time to book Bahamas vacation rentals is mid-December to mid-April, when it becomes an excellent winter escape and humidity is low. Outside of these months, the island is usually a lot quieter, and the rainy season between May and October usually only means short showers. Officially, hurricane season is between June and November, but The Bahamas aren't usually as badly affected as the rest of the Caribbean, so keep an eye on the news.
