Pineapple Point Resort
““minutes away but worlds apart…”
Phillips Property International welcomes you to Pineapple Point Resort, Treasure Cay‟s
Premier Luxury Waterfront Residences. Located in Treasure Cay, Abaco, Bahamas, just 45
minutes by air from the east coast of Florida, not only is the Bahamas one of the top vacation
destinations in the World, it offers many financial advantages to the private investor seeking to
make sound real estate investments in a stable real estate market with international appeal.
Phillips Property International is developing a limited number of Custom-Built Luxury
Residences on the shores of Treasure Cay. With the availability of 2 & 3 bedroom
condominiums and 4 bedroom townhouses, each luxury residence is situated within a lush
tropical landscape with direct water frontage on the protected crystal blue waters of the Treasure
Cay Lagoon leading directly out to the Sea Of Abaco and beyond to the Atlantic Ocean. Each
residence has its own private deep-water boat dock suitable for yachts of up to 70ft in length.
The development is being constructed using only the finest materials with individual custom
designed interiors.
Treasure Cay beach is 3.5 miles in length and has been voted one of the “Top 10 beaches in the
World” with white powder sand leading you to the warm turquoise crystal clear water. Just a 5
minute golf cart ride away from Pineapple Point Resort is the award winning Treasure Cay 18
Hole Championship Golf Course. Shops, restaurants and bars are also conveniently located just
minutes away that all form this very special, rarely found, traditional community atmosphere.
Another appealing aspect of owning a residence at Pineapple Point Resort is the flexibility to
own an appreciating asset that offers you the freedom of having your own vacation home while
also being a TAX FREE income producing asset through the Rental Program if you so wish. If
you choose, your property will be managed and rented by a team of professionals to ensure you
receive the highest rate of income while protecting your asset year round.
The development features local Bahamian architecture with classic quoin and keystone details on
the exterior and every unit enjoys unspoiled views across the water. Uniquely located on the
peninsula that forms the entrance to the Full Service 150 slip Treasure Cay Marina, Pineapple
Point Resort enjoys the convenience of all the amenities Treasure Cay has to offer but also the
seclusion from life‟s distractions. Truly a unique development in an exceptional location.
The Phillips family has been developing real estate in the Bahamas for over 40 years and has
developed and built more resort condominiums than any other developer in Abaco including
Royal Palm, Royal Poinciana, and Royal Harbour on Great Abaco and also The Green Turtle
Club and Bluff House Yacht Club Resorts on Green Turtle Cay. The few remaining Pineapple
Point Resort Residences are now being offered for pre-construction sale in Building 5.

The Opportunity
Starting just 60 miles off the coast of south Florida and stretching as far south as Cuba, and the
Dominican Republic, the Bahamas is an archipelago of 700 islands, 29 of which are inhabited.
The Bahamas has a comprehensive and modern infrastructure.
Electricity and water are in abundant supply. Telecommunications
services and facilities are state of the art, with direct links provided
through a 100% digital system.
The Bahamas is an independent monetary entity. The Bahamian dollar is
on a par with the U.S. dollar (perfect for European and American
investors) and there are no income or corporate taxes.
Easy access to the islands is a key reason for this tropical playground‟s
appeal as a year round holiday/second home destination, and for people
holding a UK passport you can stay without applying for a visa for up to
8 months of the year.
If you own a home on the islands you are eligible for a homeowner‟s residence card, renewable
annually. This card will facilitate entry into the Bahamas and entitle the owner, his spouse and
minor children to enter and remain in the Bahamas for the duration of the validity of the card.
Application may be made to the director of immigration.
The development is located on 68,000 sq ft of prime real estate with 550 feet of pristine Treasure
Cay waterfront for this project. Accommodating a limited number of private luxury resort
residences, Buildings One, Two, Three and Four are complete and SOLD OUT.
This project offers something for everyone, from investors wishing to invest in a stable
“international” real estate market to people just wishing to personally acquire their piece of
paradise with a holiday or second home. Everything is pointing in the right direction for
investment here in the Bahamas with solid capital appreciation, superb rental returns, a strong
and stable real estate market, glorious weather and some of the friendliest people you will
encounter throughout the world.
Pineapple Point Resort is made up of 2 bedroom / 2 bath Condominiums,
3 bedroom / 3 bath Condominiums and 4 bedroom / 4 ½ bath Townhouses.
Ranging in size from just under 1100sqft to over 3000sqft, the
accommodations are spacious & luxurious. Every unit has a clear view
of the crystal blue water and it‟s own private dock. There is also a
private resort style “heated” swimming pool for the exclusive use of
Pineapple Point Resort owners and their guests.
The Bahamas has No Sales Tax, No Income Tax, No Inheritance Tax
and No Corporation Tax

Location, Location, Location…”
PINEAPPLE POINT RESORT
Everyone knows the three words that are crucial in choosing the right real estate development.
“Location, Location, Location..”
Pineapple Point Resort has “The” Location in Treasure Cay. Situated within the protected
waters of the Treasure Cay Lagoon, just minutes by boat to the beautiful crystal clear water of the
Sea Of Abaco, Pineapple Point Resort is a haven for the boating community. Sailors from all
over the world travel to Abaco to enjoy the beauty and the safety of the Sea Of Abaco. Just a
short journey from the east coast of Florida, Pineapple Point Resort with its private deep-water
dockage is the perfect “getaway”.
Pineapple Point Resort‟s close proximity to the Treasure Cay Beach makes it the perfect location
for both couples and families too. Treasure Cay offers world-class fishing, scuba diving,
snorkeling, tennis, boating, windsurfing, golfing, island hopping, dining, swimming or just
relaxing in the sun. There is something to suit everyone‟s taste and needs.
At 6,985 yards from the blue tees and with 66 strategically placed sand bunkers, the Treasure Cay
Championship Golf Course presents a formidable challenge with ocean breezes, tight fairways
and a layout that makes you ponder every club selection. Designed by the legendary Dick
Wilson, the golf course will certainly make you want to play it more than once.

“Dear Ian & Stacy
I had thought of purchasing this property myself some years ago but I am glad I didn’t as you have
created something far more beautiful than I would have done ! You really have done a marvelous
job and you should be very proud of your achievements. Your quality is second to none.
TC Homeowner
Dear Ian & Stacy
We are so excited about having reached an agreement to be part of your community. Really gives us
something to look forward to. Want to thank Stacy and you for your wonderful hospitality. Quite
honestly, ya'll were a very big part of why we got comfortable with making the decision."
Owners - Mitch and Sherry from AL
Dear Ian & Stacy
As you are aware, Kathy & I have been long term (over 20 years) visitors to the Bahamas and after
10 years of vacations and kind of looking around, we decided that Treasure Cay was the best
location in the Bahamas for us. After looking into the investment and property ownership options,
initially with some fear, we decided to bite the bullet and purchase a condo at Royal Palm. Ten
years later, after deciding to sell our Royal Palm condo, we again took a calculated risk....the preconstruction purchase of another condo on our favorite island Treasure Cay at Pineapple Point
Resort. The pricing and location were a no-brainer! To say the least Kathy and I are extremely
pleased with our purchase. We, as you know, just left after another 2 week stay and Kathy & I are
just overly happy and so proud of our purchase. Not only did we have probably the best visit to
Treasure Cay ever, but the time spent in Pineapple Point has been virtually perfect. Much more
privacy than where we were before, the view is no contest, the quality of construction is superb and
the options in our condo exceeded our expectations. The warm friendship and trust of the staff
and all operations are off the charts! Truly a reflection of you as the developers who have created
the very best condo complex in Abaco and kept prices to a point that I feel will make this a very
lucrative investment over the coming years. We have many friends in Treasure Cay who are pleased
that we have decided to stay and also think that we have made a good (some say the best! ) choice
of all properties available. Stacy & Ian, again Kathy & I thank you.
Owners – Ken & Kathy from FL

for you, while providing the space and comfort afforded by up to 3000+ sqft of living space, our

take care of everything for you. You just turn up, enjoy yourselves and you will always find
everything just as it should be with nothing to worry about at all. As with our condominiums, all

the Ocean.
