Welcome I'm sure many people will offer advice and of course different people will have different opinions. Perhaps you can consider them all and make up your own mind. So I'll kick off: Finding accommodation was not difficult, there are many realtors who will help finding a rental. Many are online but my personal experience is the online adverts are a little on the expensive side. I have seen adverts for properties online that are 20% cheaper in real life. I am very happy to recommend Marilyn Ayearst +1 242 4248707, marilyn@bahamasislandsrealty.com she is very helpful and found me the exact place I wanted. But there are others too.
What I did was stay for two weeks in Melia and searched like crazy. I was also working full time so if you havent a job, it might take less time.
As for safe areas, most parts of New Prividence are reasonably safe if you dont get involved in gangs and /or domestic disputes. I like the West, but East is good too, I know people who live there and love it. I would recommend gated compounds but again, I know people happy and safe in ungated areas.
PI is excellent, but expensive I think. Also getting off or on the island at peak times is a b***h as theres only one bridge on and one off. Who want to just sit in a car for hours?
I had a job before I moved. I believe its difficult to find jobs as an expat, but I have no experience of this, others might help.
As far as internet goes, as the place is small, internet is really not as well used as say the UK (where I am from)
Warning, things are really expensive here.
