An exceptional opportunity awaits to acquire a fully operational, income-producing waterfront hospitality destination in the heart of Fresh Creek, Andros. Big Bamboo is a well-established boutique retreat and vacation rental destination, set upon approximately 1.78 gated acres of prime waterfront along 210 feet of Fresh Creek's calm, protected estuary waters. Much like life on a quiet lake, the setting offers still, sheltered waters, and an easy, unhurried pace, here reimagined within a Bahamian Out Island landscape. A rare convergence of lifestyle, business income, and expansion potential, offered as a complete turnkey package for the business owner, and equally compelling as a private, multi-generational family compound.

Arrival & Accessibility
Big Bamboo is exceptionally well connected. Andros Town International Airport sits roughly one mile away, with direct charter service via Maker's Air from South Florida and connections to Nassau and beyond. For a more seamless arrival, a dedicated seaplane moor sits approximately 200 feet from the main dock. By sea, Nassau is just 40 miles away, with a T-dock, a U-shaped boat slip, launching ramp, and protective jetties accommodating up to four boats.
The Houses
The property comprises two houses and a caretaker's cottage. Big Bamboo, the main residence, offers four bedrooms sleeping up to eight guests. Little Bamboo offers two bedrooms, a private pool, and sleeps up to four. Together the two residences accommodate up to twelve guests across two buildings, ideally suited to multi-generational families and groups seeking a whole-property experience.
Grounds & Waterfront Amenities
Life at Big Bamboo unfolds along the calm, protected waters of Fresh Creek, carrying the still, sheltered character of lake living within a Bahamian Out Island landscape. Two swimming pools, two private beaches, a hot tub, a fire pit, a dedicated outdoor grilling and bar area, and extensive tropical landscaping combine to create a resort-style environment that has drawn repeat visitors season after season. The T-dock adds a covered gazebo, water slide, and fish-cleaning station, a favourite gathering spot for guests of all ages.
A Turnkey Business Opportunity
Big Bamboo is offered as a complete turnkey operation, inclusive of furnishings, fixtures, equipment, and operational assets. With 100% peak season occupancy and an 80% repeat guest and referral rate, the business has been built on reputation and word of mouth rather than platform dependency. A generator, fuel storage tanks, and a fully equipped on-site workshop ensure complete operational independence.
Andros Island & Lifestyle Appeal
