Building With Steve Harbaugh

Grateful to the people of Exuma for welcoming me with the opportunity to build something special here. Baymahni Resort has truly been the project of a lifetime, bringing new experiences for families to enjoy and creating opportunities for this amazing community.

We’re making incredible progress each day, and I’m so excited to officially open this fall with brand-new amenities like the Beach Club and Daq Shack that will surely become staples here on Stocking Island.

And we’re just getting started, next up are the two-bedroom villas and eventually the estate homes that will take this vision to the next level. Thankful for the journey and even more excited for what’s ahead 🌴🇧🇸

Love pulling up to Chat ’n’ Chill for those perfect island vibes. Cold drink, toes in the sand, kids having a good time on the beach, and the kind of view that makes you forget what day it is 🍹🌴

Family time is everything to me. There’s nothing more rewarding than watching my kids grow, laugh, and make memories together… especially in a place as special as Exuma. Grateful for moments like these.🏝️

Back in the place I fell in love with the family. 🇧🇸

There’s something about Exuma that you just can’t explain. Being here with my family on vacation, surrounded by this water, these views, and these memories… it’s everything to me. Grateful for this paradise and the moments that remind me what it’s all about. 🏝️

Massive changes are happening at Baymahni

What started as a 14-room boutique resort is now growing into something much bigger — 40 keys, 35 private estates, and a vision that’s finally coming to life.

In this update, I’m walking through what’s next for the resort, and also sharing something important I’ve learned along the way:
👉 If you own land — or plan to — it’s not just about what’s on it now, it’s about what it could be.
Maximizing land value takes vision, strategy, and sometimes... a leap.

If you’ve been following the journey, this one means a lot.

This is more than just a resort update — it’s a blueprint for how to maximize the value of your land.We’re expanding Baymahni from 14 keys to 40… but that’s ...

A few years ago, I rented a boat while on vacation in Exuma. That one rental turned into a real friendship—and eventually a partnership.Today, that same boat is restored and now part of the Baymahni Resort fleet. And Rodney? He’s our builder and a key part of the team.You never know where a single moment can lead. 🚤🌴 Link to full story here: https://youtu.be/qvfXFxiXC8I?si=CF9UAyNFn_ZjcG2u

Full circle moment. 🚤🌴

A few years ago, I came to Exuma on a family vacation and rented this little Boston Whaler from a guy named Rodney who owned a local boat rental business. That conversation sparked a friendship… and eventually led to a partnership that would change both of our lives.

Today, that same boat is fully restored and officially part of the Baymahni Resort fleet. And Rodney? He’s not just the guy who rented me a boat, he’s now the builder and a partner on this incredible project we’re developing in Exuma.

You never know where one phone call, or one $250 rental, can take you.

Will we make the DEADLINE? Building Exuma Episode 6 is out now. We received our first rental of the Hoopers Bay Properties “BluWakes”. The clock is now ticking for us to get these houses done in time for the first vacation rental! Watch Here:

We’ve got 60 days to finish this place before our first guest arrives. The goal: take a construction site and turn it into a fully furnished vacation rental,...

None of this is possible without the people beside me. Grateful every day for the Baymahni crew! Teamwork makes the dream work 💪🌴

I’ve been coming to The Bahamas with my family for years, and every time we leave, we’re already dreaming about the next trip back. There’s truly no place like it in the world.

Some of our best memories have been made here, exploring the island with the people we love. Exuma means everything to us, and sharing it with others has become a meaningful part of my journey. Can’t wait to show you more of why we keep coming back!🏝️🇧🇸
