Palm Cay

Palm Cay is a gated, oceanfront marina community spanning over 69 acres in eastern New Providence, roughly 15 minutes from Nassau. It's built around a full-service, 24-hour-secured marina with over 190 boat slips, alongside a private Beach Club with pools, fitness facilities, spa services, tennis, and pickleball. It's a mixed condo-and-home community popular for both full-time living and vacation/short-term rentals.

Palm Cay is one of the few gated New Providence communities that actively markets both long-term and short-term (Airbnb-style) rentals, giving it more visible rental turnover than some other gated enclaves. Reliable, specific monthly rental pricing wasn't consistently available in research — pricing varies by unit type (condo vs. home) and marina/water views, so confirm current figures directly with listings rather than assuming a fixed range.

• Beaches: A private beach club within the community; Yamacraw Beach is roughly 0.7 miles away.
• Schools: Nearby eastern New Providence schools are a short drive away.
• Groceries: Limited on-site retail; broader eastern Nassau grocery options are a short drive.
• Downtown Nassau: Roughly 15–20 minutes by car.
• Airport (LPIA): Roughly 25–30 minutes by car, on the longer side given its eastern, coastal location.

Palm Cay is accessed via a gated entrance off the eastern coastal road network. It's a car-dependent community; residents without boats rely on personal vehicles for most trips, as public jitney coverage in this far-eastern area is limited.

Palm Cay suits boating enthusiasts, renters who want resort-style amenities in a gated eastern setting, and those comfortable with a longer airport/downtown commute in exchange for marina access and beach club living. It's a reasonable fit for retirees and professionals seeking a quieter, self-contained lifestyle, and one of the more rental-friendly gated communities on the island.
