You will discover why Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp chose to film and buy a home on these pristine cays.

Truly a PARADISE FOUND :)

Stop searching and snag this place while you can! This incredible property is even more amazing in person. The location is centrally located on the main island with easy access to anything you might need, it is very private, and the surrounding property/views/water are breathtakingly beautiful. The house itself is well decorated with thoughtful touches everywhere, CLEAN, VERY COMFORTABLE and meticulously managed. The multiple decks, games and water toys were the icing on the cake. Everything you need to explore other beaches is available for you to use - beach chairs, umbrellas, cooler bag, ice blocks, snorkeling gear, beach towels, etc. There is nothing I can think of this property could improve upon. Communication with the host and property manager were effortless and check-in/check-out was a breeze. My family of 5 spent 6 glorious nights here and it felt like a home away from home haven as soon as we arrived. We successfully experienced almost everything the host recommended in terms of beaches to see and places to eat and everything was excellent! Our unexpected favorites turned out to be the Cocoplum Beach Cabana food shack (some of the best food we had on the island!) and the newly opened Coconut Club on Stocking Island (expensive food/drink but VERY fun experience).* note - while there are places within walking distance to the house you should definitely spend the extra money and rent a car. It will make your vacation significantly easier and you will experience more.

Beautiful stay in Exumas

Paradise Found was a perfect location for our family for the week. The location is central to the airport and George Town. The place is perfectly described and is clean and more spacious inside than the pictures make it seem. The outdoor patio area is beautiful with several areas to sit and play for the kids. It was perfect for our family.

Fabulous place!

This was our families 2nd trip to Exuma and we had another fabulous vacation! Once you open the door to this amazing property, you'll know you have "found paradise"! The home is spacious, well laid out, and comfortable. The patio and deck area was our favorite place to hang out. We couldn't get enough of the gorgeous view out front, especially the shades of blue Caribbean water! Be sure to get up early to take in the sunrises...they are breathtaking. It was fun to watch the sailboats and barges come in and out of the area. We snorkeled out front and to the left of the property. Since our flight was coming in late, we asked Cleo to get a few groceries to have there upon arrival. She and her gals are great! Rented a van for the 5 of us from Sure to Shore, they were awesome to work with. We drove to different beaches each day: Jolly Hall, Coco Plum, Exuma Point. Our favorite beach was Tropic of Cancer. It was super windy the day we were there, but fun to play in the huge waves. We had conch fritters and pina coladas from the beach bar. Yum! We did the full day Staniel Cay/Pigs excursion with Exuma Watersports. Definitely a highlight again! We grocery shopped at Exuma Markets and Smitty's and made most meals at the house. It is expensive to eat out (3 sushi rolls and 2 rounds of drinks 195). Chat 'N Chill was super disappointing. Conch bar was closed, lines were long, employees were rude and food was gross expensive. Next time, we'll try the Cocount Club.

Rachel & Ed are excellent hosts. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and great location close to beautiful beaches and the airport. We also greatly appreciated the cold AC in every room! Honestly the house has everything you need, including all the kitchen/grill things you’ll need for a dinner at home, kayaks, snorkel equipment, small private beach, loungers and plenty of beach towels. The hosts were very communicative before our arrival and provided us with all the recommendations for restaurants, private chefs, photographers, etc. You won’t regret staying at Paradise Found Villa!

Couldn't have been better!

We rented Paradise Found for a few nights during our stay in late June. The property, owners, and property manger exceeded our expectations! The location is secluded and quite, while still being conveniently located within a few minutes to grocery shopping, take-out food, restaurants, and many beautiful beaches. The centralized location makes trips to the northern part of the island, Little Exuma, and Georgetown quite convenient. The house is well appointed - kitchen is equipped with all you need to make meals, furniture and beds are comfortable, lots of beach towels and floats for enjoying the water. There are multiple outdoor seating options - my favorite places for escaping the June heat while enjoying the view was the ocean deck and Tiki Bar! You will check in and never want to leave!

Amazing vacation!!

Paradise Found is a wonderful home just north of Georgetown that has the most beautiful water right outside the door. We found this house was perfect in everyway. If you never wanted to leave home, you had floats and kayaks to explore. The snorkeling from just walking into the water was amazing. This house is in a perfect location to drive and explore the island in either direction, north or south. Exuma is a beautiful island. We will definitely be planning another trip here.

Made fun memories - beautiful property

We had the best time this week! The house was better than described - when we rent in USA, the spices and condiments are all gone. This place had everything we needed! That is such a small thing to mention, but loved it. Cleo, the house manager, is the sweetest and very responsive. Rachel, the owner, is the same. We had everything we needed. We made so many memories here! The property was large enough that even though we had two families, there was plenty of space for everyone inside and out.

Awesome in every way!

1. Paradise fond was exactly as described. It's a great home in a great location. Located between the airport and George Town it was convenient to both. A really nice, little grocery store was just a short walk away (about 10 min). 2. The property was well stocked with 2 grills, and the tiki bar was really cool. There were plenty of beach toys and games. Don't underestimate the size of the patio. It's huge and was one of the best parts of the property. 3. Rachel, the property owner was probably the best part of the the whole experience. Without going into a lot of detail, she went beyond the call of duty. She basically rescued three weary sailors on arrival. She also was proactive in guiding us on what me might do. 4. If I had to nitpick, not having a beach there was a little downer but with beautiful, world class beaches just down and up the road made this really insignificant. Plus, it's always more fun to venture out and explore. In summary, I would definitely visit Paradise Found again. I can't wait to get back ASAP!

We went on a girls trip for my 45th birthday. The property and house was absolutely beautiful, the host and manger were very attentive and the driver gully was simply amazing and helpful. We would love to go back as a couples trip. The ocean right off the deck was invigorating and undescribable. We saw a song ready and a sea turtle right off the deck. The house has everything you could need for a pleasant stay.

Enjoyed the private paradise!

This was our first experience at a vacation rental while in the Exumas, and it was a good one! I most enjoyed how truly private the home and back yard paradise felt. We got in the water off the back of the property several times and there is a bit of rocky area to traverse but then you quickly get to the white powered sand bottom. The water everywhere on this island is just amazing. Beds were very comfortable, there was nothing we were missing, and it was really nice to be able to use the washer/dryer (and cooler) during our stay. Wonderful host and experience!
