Why This Address Matters
The Ocean Club is a legend—Versailles-inspired gardens, quiet prestige, and service that remembers your preferences. Add Four Seasons residential management and a private owners’ campus beyond what hotel guests see. Net result: brand-standard hospitality in a true private-residence format—rare anywhere, exceptional in the Caribbean.
When you’re investing in the Bahamas, it’s about more than square footage—it’s about peace of mind: predictable service, asset protection, and flexible income when you’re not in residence.
Location: Paradise Island’s Most Coveted Coastline
Sugar-white sand meets the Atlantic. You’re attached to The Ocean Club for dining, spa, and daily rhythm; a few minutes east sits the Ocean Club Golf Course; and just nearby is Atlantis for pools and family fun. Serenity and convenience finally meet in one address.
Residences: Real Indoor–Outdoor Living
Even the “entry” homes live like villas: deep terraces, gracious entertaining zones, and calm material palettes that let the ocean star.
- 2BR + Den: ~3,100 sf interior + ~850 sf exterior
- 3BR + Den: ~4,000 sf interior + ~1,200 sf exterior
- 4BR + Den + 1BR Suite: ~5,000 sf interior + ~1,400 sf exterior
- Penthouses: ~5,200 sf interior + ~3,900 sf terraces (many with private pools)
- Beach Villas (5BR + Den): ~7,400 sf interior + ~6,600 sf outdoor living with pool
Owners-Only Amenities (Beyond the Resort)
- Owners’ Lounge & Library/Boardroom for hosting
- Adult pool and family pool zones
- Kids’ club with supervised activities
- Fitness & spa access via a private entry path
- Café & bar plus a beachfront owners’ restaurant & bar
- Terrace lounges with dedicated beach service
- Owners’ private cellar (wine/cigar lockers and tastings)
You’re still steps from resort staples—DUNE by Jean-Georges, the Balinese-style spa villas, and the Martini Bar (featured in Casino Royale).
Four Seasons Management & the Optional Rental Program
Two questions I ask every client: How will you use the home—and what should it do when you’re away? With Four Seasons, you get preventive maintenance, housekeeping, and pre-arrival staging. If income matters, the optional rental program can market your residence to a global guest base.
Depending on structure and compliance, hotels legislation (e.g., Hotels Encouragement Act) may offer concessions. I coordinate with legal and tax advisors so the rental strategy supports your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Golf, Wellness, and Dining: Your Weekly Rhythm
- Golf: Ocean Club Golf Course (Tom Weiskopf; 18-hole, par-72; ~7,100 yards) along a breezy peninsula.
- Wellness: Sunrise beach runs; Balinese-inspired spa treatments by afternoon.
- Dining: DUNE by Jean-Georges anchors the culinary scene; the owners’ beachfront restaurant & bar gives you a private, walk-down option for hosting.
- Evenings: Cap the day at the Martini Bar—small, storied, and still the Ocean Club’s heartbeat.
How It Compares (At a Glance)
- Four Seasons Ocean Club Residences: New-build, Four Seasons management, owners-only campus, optional rental—privacy with brand-standard service.
- Ocean Club Estates (legacy): Estate homes and condos with marina/golf access; broader architectural mix and community feel.
- Atlantis-adjacent condos: Resort energy and family amenities; fewer ultra-private owners-only spaces.
Bahamas Residency & Tax Advantages (Essentials)
- No personal income, capital gains, or inheritance tax in The Bahamas (VAT/import duties apply elsewhere).
- Economic Permanent Residency (EPR): Plan for BSD/US$1,000,000+ qualified real-estate investment with a 10-year hold. I’ll sequence your acquisition and EPR filing with trusted counsel so documents, timing, and structures align.
How I Help You Buy Smart (Step-by-Step)
- Private briefing: Goals, timeline, usage, and residency objectives.
- On-site preview: Sales gallery tour; stack selection, finish schemes, view corridors.
- Reservation & diligence: Developer docs, bylaws, insurance, warranties, operating budget.
- Income modeling: Conservative scenarios by season/occupancy; net-after-fees clarity.
- Close & setup: Ownership structure, owner accounts, storage, pre-arrival checklist.
- Residency & structures: Legal intros for EPR, title/estate planning, and tax coordination.
- Aftercare: Turnkey stays, maintenance cadence, and a 12-month post-close check-in.
This is where experience really matters—and I bring 24+ years of it.
