Beachfront Villa with swim-up pool bar, spa, and pickleball court

10/10 Excellent
"This is the best property and experience that I've ever had. We are hosts of a luxury property as well so we have high expectations of what an experience should be for a guest. Jane (owner) and her team (Monique and crew) were absolutely fantastic. The team met us at the marina to help us transport all of our luggage and brought us directly to the home. We received a very detailed tour of the property and were told that they would help with anything we needed during our stay. The property itself is simply stunning. The views are absolutely epic, the court is stocked with all of the paddles, balls etc. that you would ever need and the pool is terrific after a day on the water. The home is incredibly well stocked and includes a separate icemaker that comes in handy for fishing and making frozen drinks! The bedrooms are beautiful and all of the decorations are up to date and in great condition.The home had COLD AC. So many places throughout the Bahamas struggle with that, not this place. That was a pleasant surprise. The team came to tidy up each day and answered any questions we had immediately. A wonderful place, with wonderful staff. They even helped us transport all of our luggage back to the boat when checking out. Perfect stay."

Secluded Private Beachfront Villa on Staniel Cay in Exumas Bahamas

Secluded Private Beachfront Villa on Staniel Cay in Exumas Bahamas

10/10 Excellent
"I can't tell you enough how gracious and fabulous Chet and Brooke (the hosts) are. They welcomed us at the door with freshly baked Sourdough Bread, built a fire for us one night and were incredibly helpful with everything. Wade the manager was fabulous as well navigating any of our requests and queries. As for the property its simply incredible. We were a family of 8 (with a nanny) and everything was perfect. The views spectacular and we kept saying we felt we were on a yacht it was positioned so perfectly. The children spent their days scampering over the rocks and beach picking up shells whilst the adults sat back and gazed out across the beautiful turquoise waters. You simply must stay here if you visit Staniel Cay."

Ocean view cottage on a quiet beach, minutes from swimming pigs - "Harbor Blue"

Ocean view cottage on a quiet beach, minutes from swimming pigs - "Harbor Blue"

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great location with easy access to the beach. We only had a few people visit the beach while we were there. You can float back and forth with the tides. Plenty of towels in bath. You need a golf cart to access restaurants and the store. You do pass the dump on the way to and from the location and planes go straight over the house to land. I didn’t consider either a negative just informational. I would definitely choose to stay there again. The host responded to all my inquiries in a timely manner."

Incredibly clean. And honestly bigger than it looks in the listing.The pictures don't do it justice.The hosts were about as nice and communicative as it gets. They nailed it every step of the way.We're already looking to rebook for next year.Loved this house. Can't recommend it enough."

10/10 Excellent
"Rum Punch was as advertised . It’s not fancy, but has everything you need. The A/c in one bed room didn’t work, but was able to be cool enough if all the doors to the other rooms were left open. We particularly enjoyed a few mangoes from their tree. Water pressure in one bath was weak, and you can’t run the washing machine and do dishes/take showers- but allThings that can be worked around."
