"Quite an American feel complex for a small Bahamian island. Wasn’t expecting quite so many units. Feels quite Floridian. Unless you have an Ocean Front you really won’t get much of a sea view more the property facing you! Palapa grill was pretty disappointing for breakfast and dinner but the 23 North restaurant was well worth the money and we ate there twice. "

"Probably the best property our family has rented in the 15 years of traveling together on our annual trip. Our party of 12 was blown away. The location is so unique and absolutely gorgeous. Your own kayak “river”, private sandbar, private little beach (not to mention the beach just a few steeps over the rocks. Snorkeling just out the back door just yards from the private beach. The host took amazing care of us and the owner was great to communicate with. The host arranged for taxis, rental cars, chef prepared meals, massages in the villa, spear fishing, boat trips to the pigs, chat n chill, sandbar, pirates of the Caribbean beach….. just to name a few. All were outstanding. Highly recommend!!"

"St Francis is uniquely situated on Stocking Island off Great Exuma. It has Atlantic Ocean beaches and the Elizabeth Harbor with its own Marina. It’s a stunning locale with superbly friendly and professional staff. The food and drinks are the BEST! Enjoy a horror view meal! Book a beachfront room and let your cares fall away. Shout out to Shay, Anise, Sterling, Donnamae, Bree!! The best!!"

"My husband and I have visited Exuma many times. We brought our family on this trip. Rick has the most beautiful and well maintained place. We stayed in the main house plus the guest house since we needed the space. Everyone was very comfortable. We loved being so close to the beach that was within walking distance. We used the pool almost every day. The kids especially loved it. The rentals were well stocked with everything we needed from cooking supplies to poll floats and kayaks. The location is perfect and has the ultimate view! We absolutely enjoyed our stay and plan to stay at Blu Hues again."

"We fully understand why it is called shades of blue! Most fabulous beach ever!"

"We had the most incredible experience at the Sandbar. Heather was so responsive and helpful with our plans since day 1 of booking several months in advance. The home is spectacular - clean and gorgeous. You really can’t beat the view and proximity to the airport. We are already planning our next trip back to this same home! 10/10 truly."

"The best family vacation we have ever had. We have a large family, so the 2-home set up was perfect. The property managers Anna & Luke were wonderful & TJ our butler and his associates were over the top, they pre-shopped, did errands, house was spotless, laundry done, when the pressure in our shower was light, he called a plumber and was fixed same day. He truly made our trip dreamy. We hired chefs who served amazing local cuisine every night, family style, with a gorgeous spreads like you have never seen. We ordered fresh sandwiches, fruit and veggies, to be delivered every other day. The homes were new, with modern amenities & decor slept like babies. We hired a boat captain, Theo, & went island hopping to a variety of beaches/bars in the area, the next day we rented Jet Skis from Theo, and mid-week, we rented our own boat, (theo) all provided countless memories. The ocean coloring is astonishing, with countless shades of blue, and green, with white sandy beaches, and the ocean floor was like powder, for swimming you really don't need water shoes, but bring as back up. The infinity pool was warm enough to enjoy all week, anytime. If you want to see an amazing beach, visit The Tropic of Cancer Beach simply breathtaking with straw top bar. The houses are located in a more remote area, very private. One night we ate at Rusty Anchor at February Point, I highly recommend. Lunch at Santanas Bar, w Mammas Bakery next door was divine. Pack light, mainly bathing suits & cover ups."

"This was the first time that my husband and I have been in the Bahamas. The Exuma Islands are amazing! We are super-happy with our stay at Bella Vista. The view was beyond expectation, and the location could not have been better. The unit was very clean and well equipped. We had everything we needed. The staff at the Hideaways are very helpful and friendly. The packet that we received from Michael and Roseann as soon as we booked was very useful. Michael and Roseanne were always quick to reply to any questions we had before and during our stay. We would definitely recommend Bella Vista. Thank you for a great experience."

"The views from our room overlooking the pool and the ocean was spectacular morning walks every morning on the beach, quiet and able to see the three sisters rocks. "
