We had a wonderful stay at this home in Hoopers Bay and would absolutely return. The location is hard to beat. In fact, we think it may be one of the best spots on Hoopers Bay. The beach access is incredibly easy, with a charming wooden path right down to the water, and one of our favorite features was the natural shade at the beach, which made spending long days there so comfortable.The water here is stunning, calm, clear, and perfect for swimming. If you enjoy snorkeling, we found turtles by swimming out to the left past the dock. There’s some good snorkeling there, but be aware the tide can pull you out, so it’s best for confident swimmers.The house itself was perfect for us. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook, and there were even some helpful basics like seasonings and oils.A special thank you to Luther, the caretaker, who picked us up from the airport and dropped us off. He was fantastic and made everything easy from the start.We did have an issue with the air conditioner during our stay, and while it meant a couple of hot days, the owner was very responsive and handled it as quickly as possible, even replacing the unit. We really appreciated how seriously she took the issue and how quickly she stayed on top of it.Overall, this was an amazing place to stay and a beautiful home base for enjoying Exuma. Highly Recommend!

The host and caretaker were very welcoming! We love this location, it’s central to the island, nearby to Georgetown without being in town, there’s a couple small grocery stores within 1 km of it and it’s on hoopers beach which is our favorite in this area of the island. The home is welcoming and very well equipped, everything (and more) in the kitchen… I mean everything from a juicer to a bread machine, coffee drip and pods, toaster, toaster oven and oven. We also enjoyed the complimentary 2-person kayaks and most of all it’s literally on the beach. Morning coffee on the back deck looking over the beach was very relaxing. If you’re looking for a place on the island, I’d definitely recommend once upon a tide!
