The Story Behind the Property
Long before Ole Ike Bay was a place guests traveled from around the world to experience, it was a farm. Isaiah Rolle — known throughout Exuma as "Ole Ike" — chose this land for its exceptionally rich soil and for the rare natural freshwater pond on the property, one of the only strategically located freshwater sources in the area, making it ideal for agriculture and sustainable living. He farmed it. He raised livestock on it. He tended it with the kind of commitment that reflects a man who earned everything he had.
What makes Ole Ike's story even more remarkable: he attended university at 50 to study Agriculture. A farmer, community leader, entrepreneur, teacher, and preacher whose impact on Exuma ran through everyone who knew him.
Years later, his son John chose this same land to build his retirement home — because he never forgot how beautiful and unlike anywhere else it felt as a child, working alongside his family in this place. He named the estate in his father's honor.
Today, John's children — a sister and brother — continue that legacy as caretakers of something that spans generations. Guests who stay at Ole Ike Bay aren't renting a house. They're walking into a family vision built on faith, hard work, and love for a piece of land that has meant something to the Rolle family for a very long time.
That warmth is not manufactured. Guests feel it consistently.
