About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Bahama House, Luxury by the beach.

Bahama Style on your door step... literally as you walk through your entry way and into the high pitched foyer, an amazing tropical holiday experience awaits!

Take a short 1 min stroll to the golden sands of 4 mile beach and plunge into the warm waters of the coral sea or swim in the crystal clear water of your large pool.

Soak up the suns rays on a sun lounge by the pool or read a book under the shade of the raised Cocktail Pavilion.
Enjoy the colors and splendor of tropical plants around the pool.
Relax on a daybed in your own private piece of rain forest from where tropical parrots and birds will greet you each morning.

When the children (and you) need a break from the pool, there is the large screen Smart TV or a maybe a board game.
Hook into the Wifi provided and go online or quietly watch a TV provided in each bedroom.

In the evening, decide whether to take a short walk to one of the nearby restaurants, hop on the shuttle into town or maybe have a BBQ at the poolside Alfresco dining area.

A large built in BBQ, Outdoor Bar Fridge and Outdoor dining setting will ensure this dinner choice becomes a holiday favorite.

At night, sleep with the shutters open safe behind fly screening and listen to the sounds of the tropical north or simply close up the room and turn on the air conditioning.

For your morning coffee (if you don't want to use the house coffee machine!) walk to St Crispins Cafe (Escape St - we love it here).

With three Master suites to choose from, Caribbean architecture in the entertaining pavilions and breathtaking landscaping around your large private pool, you can live the dream!

A great base to explore the GREAT BARRIER REEF & DAINTREE RAINFOREST !

The Bahama House is fabulous and we had one of the best family holidays ever. Loved the layout, plenty of room both inside and out for our four families, including 3 grandchildren. The House is located near four mile beach, a kids playground, small shopping centre and a couple of cafes are within walking distance. Only a short drive to the centre of Port Douglas for dinner and lunch, or if you want, you can walk along 4 Mile beach to PD (lovely in the morning or late afternoon). The kids loved the pool and this was the centre of family activites. We couldn’t get the grandkids out of it. Daintree, Mossman Gorge and Barrier Reef are close by and we took advantage of the wonderful weather to hike the Gorge and Daintree, then take a boat out to the reef for a days snorkelling. Amazing world heritage destinations on our doorstep!! Of course theres the crocs and wildlife sanctuaries to visit as well. The hosts were fantastic, clear communication and very helpful. If you are looking for a special holiday for your family the Bahama House is exceptional.

A week of luxury
If you're looking for relaxation and luxury in a tropical retreat space, you're in the right place at the Bahama House. The house oozes style and spaciousness and with all the right touches. The location was perfect for our extended family of 10. We could walk to the beach and a few of the local hotel eateries and with just a short drive into town. We all spent plenty of time in the pool in between our outings exploring the treasures of Port Douglas and it's surrounds. A fabulous week, all round. We'd be back there in a heartbeat.

Paradise Found!
Our family has just spent 10 wonderful days at Bahama House and what a joy it has been. House is perfectly positioned in a quiet location a short distance from central PD and only 200 steps from the beach. House itself is massive, beautifully furnished and ideally suited to a relaxing family holiday. Dealing with the hosts was fantastic, clear communication and they couldn't have been more accommodating. If you are looking for a luxurious holiday for your family and The Bahama House is vacant - book it!

Our family honeymoon at the Port Douglas Bahama House
We loved the property. We had our overseas family join us on our trip to Port Douglas. The Bahama House has several areas to have fun together, lounge around the pool, in the cabana or in several other areas. It's only a short trip to Port Douglas and out of the hussle and bustle which we loved. Just a couple of minutes walk to Four Mile Beach. Every possible amenity you could want. We absolutely loved it. The only problem we had was with the coffee machine which was very tempremental, however having said that it could have just been the coffee pods we were using. We bought the same as the previous people had left, we should have investigated this further. We just loved this property. Definitely worth the price and we would definitely stay again. Thank you Sharon and Grant,

Perfect family retreat
The Bahama House is a beauty. It is exceptionally well appointed with a great layout, good furnishings, great kitchen and outdoor living area. The pool was a highlight for our grandkids, but does miss the afternoon sun. It's a perfect 4km walk into main town of Port Douglas which for us was an excellent way to start each day. (Grant St Kitchen is the ideal coffee/pastry experience). It was very thoughtful the way basic dry goods are left by previous guests and we ensured we left as much/more when we departed too Ticked off activities included Reef Sprinter to Low Isles, visit to Hartley's Croc Farm, visit to Wildlife Sancturary and a self drive estuary tour on a picnic boat (booked at the Marina) Thanks Grant and Sharon for having us
