Independent Great Exuma Island hotels

"You know when you read reviews and you think “there is no way this place could be this good?!” I am telling you IT IS and even more! We visited Bella Vista as a family of four (including two kiddos ages 5 & 8) and as a first-time VRBO renter. Michael and Roseann are the real deal - we were blessed to actually meet them in person, as they happened to be in town while we were. The property is absolutely immaculate. As a mom of little kids, the kitchen has everything needed to keep them happy, the Hideaways has a great pool, and this location puts you within walking distance to most things you’ll need or you can pop on the shuttle to get there. The views are just amazing as well. Need advice on things to do and see? Michael and Roseann have you covered - it is all well-documented from East to West in the coffee table book they wrote. We used Taxi 91 (Floyd) to get to anywhere the shuttle did not service, but I would 100% recommend renting a car if you’ll be in town for more than a few nights. Thought we are still in Exuma with friends on a boat, we wish we had more nights to enjoy Bella Vista - Roseann and Michael, THANK YOU for building something beautiful with your rentals. We can’t wait to come back. "

"I rented this home for my son and his friends while I had to stay behind for an unexpected work obligation, and they had an excellent experience. According to them, the house was wonderful—modern, comfortable, and very well maintained. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and the entire property had a cool, peaceful vibe that made it a great place to unwind.The only real challenge was getting there. Several nearby roads are washed out, so the route was a little confusing, and Google Maps fell short. Fortunately, the owner provided detailed photo directions that made all the difference. Just be aware that the drive in from the main highway can feel a bit like a maze the first time you make it.Once they arrived, though, everything about the stay was fantastic. My son highly recommends the place, and based on their experience (and the owner’s responsiveness), so do I."

"This was a nice house with a beautiful setting on the water. Plenty of amenities and the perfect place for our girls getaway to celebrate a 60th birthday. "

"The room was very nice, clean and well stocked. Bed was comfy and we had a lovely porch to sit on and enjoy the weather. The staff was great, always helpful and super friendly. The hotel also runs a shuttle into town so that is very useful. The restaurant is great too. "

"Food, location, service, accommodations all excellent. "

"We had a wonderful time at Casa Bella. We appreciated the remote location, the beautiful view and the wonderful accessibility of having a dock behind the house. The kayaks and Private beach were the cherry on top!"

"We had an amazing time staying at Aqua Vista! The home is super comfortable and the hosts are very attentive. We enjoyed the home so much that we had a bit of a hard time leaving to explore the island. That said, we did make it to the northern and southern most points of Exuma. This is a fantastic place to experience! If you are considering a trip here, you won’t regret this stay! We most definitely plan on coming back and staying at AquaVista!"

"Avie was wonderful to work with during our fabulous trip. He arranged for our rental car to be delivered to his beautiful location we stayed at and made sure we had transportation from airport ready and there to pick us up once we arrived. He also helped get our excursion dreams to happen. Can’t wait to go back! "

"Amazing stay! The house was beautiful and tastefully decorated. The beds were extremely comfortable, and the pool was perfect for relaxing. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
