Who hasn’t heard and dreamed of vacationing in the Bahamas? The archipelago, which is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, with most of the travelers flocking to New Providence Island, Grand Bahama Island, and Paradise Island. While the Bahamas, which features over 700 islands, is best known for its white sand and unbelievably clear water, it actually has a lot more to offer beyond its beaches. It features a number of historic attractions such as Fort Charlotte and Fort Fincastle, both of which give fantastic views. The Pirates of Nassau Museum provide you with facts that have inspired the famous movie series. Pamper yourself on your holiday by staying at one of these best vacation rentals with chef in the Bahamas.
