Suma Sands Villa by Exuma Exclusives - a 3,400 sq.ft. Villa, located directly on Exuma's most famous beach, Tropic of Cancer Beach (Atlantic side of the island, approximately 40 minutes from the GGT Airport).
Note: - This home no longer has an upstairs outdoor patio/balcony. - Although our maximum guest count is 14, the maximum allowed number of adults at this home is 12.
Elegant seaside artwork hung over luxuriously comfortable beds, share the truth that at Suma Sands Villa, genteel luxury is evident. A sister house to Yumey Sands Villa, the name Suma is a historical reference to the island, making it a luxury vacation home that honors the past while facilitating fabulous experiences in the present. A short pathway gently slopes forward between the pool and seaside, extending a daily invitation to stroll along the beach, promising a healthy beginning to each seaside stay.
The Villa boasts an expansive oceanside patio with a heated infinity pool, lounge area, and dining area, giving you magical views of the turquoise waters of Exuma as well as Turtle Island. Turtle island offers gentle protection from the crashing waves of the ocean, providing Tropic of Cancer with calm and relaxing waters. With relatively calm waters, the area is great for swimming and exploring on kayaks. The beach is sandy all year round and stretches for 2 km's making it ideal for sunrise/sunset walks or runs.

Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide: Upon booking, all guests automatically receive our curated Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide to help you save time planning your dream vacation. This complimentary package is carefully crafted to answer (almost!) any question you may have around planning your trip, recommended activities, restaurants, or points of interests, cost expectations, and the island in general.
Customer Service: By booking an Exuma Exclusives home, you can be confident you’ll receive the highest level of customer service before, during, and after your trip to Exuma. Our expert local property management teams can assist you with any aspects of your stay including, but not limited to: grocery delivery, chefs and local caterers, rental vehicles, excursions (such as visiting the swimming pigs!), babysitting services, fishing recommendations, and any other local recommendations or assistance you need. They have a wealth of knowledge about the island and are committed to ensuring you enjoy all Exuma has to offer - hassle free.
Important things to know when planning a trip to Exuma: - Renting a car is highly recommended. Almost all of our guests rent cars for the duration of their stay and it is the best and easiest way to explore the island. Additionally, Exuma is unlike other islands - golf carts are not a typical form of transport on the main roads. - Protect yourself from the unpredictable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip that protects against any unexpected travel disruptions or delays. We’d be happy to recommend specific providers. - Thinking of a boat rental? Boat rentals on Exuma are typically daily rentals only (no overnights). Therefore, it may not be necessary to pick your house based on the presence of a dock. If you’re bringing your own boat and your property doesn’t have a dock, please identify your closest Marina (beginning of description). - Plan ahead: Restaurant reservations are recommended for peak seasons, particularly for large groups!
Other Rules: No parties. No exceeding guest count on property. Minimum 7-night stay over peak or holiday seasons and/or weekend to weekend bookings. Christmas (night of the 25th) and New Years Eve (night of the 31st) cannot be booked together, except for stays of 14 nights or longer. Instant bookings are subject to 24-hour review to ensure adherence to house rules. Note: A 3% non-refundable processing / administrative fee on the total value of the stay will be due for all cancellations. Fee will be waived if the booking is moved/shifted to future dates without cancelling.

This house is a dream. Its location and all the amenities make this the perfect place. The island is a special place. The most beautiful beaches and water you will ever see. We had great dinners at Blu and peace and plenty and lunch at Exuma yaught club. The property manager, Judy, is what help make our trip. Our flight was delayed and rental car closed but she not only drove us to our house but then supplied rental cars delivered to our house. She gave us countless recommendations and helped us book a great fishing trip on her boat. She was the “it” factor that made it all so special. Will was also very helpful with additional details. I would definitely book this house again and the beach is by far the best one on the island.

Amazing Property On Tropic of Cancer Beach
House was even better than advertised. Extremely well stocked with everything you could need in the kitchen, to plenty of toys for the beach, to a nice grill. Owner and house manager are great communicators. We did the chef service each evening it was amazing. Pictures of the beach don’t do it justice. Just book it!

We spent a lot of time looking at places for our big group trip and decided to stay here. The communication, planning and details provided by the owner were simple and outstanding. As soon as you walk in, you realize that the pictures did not do it justice. The house was a lot bigger than the pictures lead on. The pool, beach, water sports and amenities were better than other properties I’ve visited. Would love to come back.

A great family vacation. The villa was amazing and has everything you need. The location is excellent. The pool and beach are amazing.
I would also recommend Judy and her team and the services they provide. The fridge was stocked upon our arrival and the chef services for dinner was excellent!
If you’re looking for a boat tour, I can’t recommend Theo and Tours R Us enough. They offer one of a kind service and can tailor a trip to your needs.

We were 10 adults staying for 1 week! This property was amazing! The kitchen was fully equipped with appliances, utensils, plates, etc. We had plenty of beach chairs & floats to use. The house was extremely well kept & clean. The property manager responded to our needs when we texted her. The pictures show a second story patio that is no longer there - that was a little disappointing. WARNING - the road to the property is extremely rough & the “no-see-ums” were savage! This, however, would not stop us from renting this property again!! We give it 10 stars out of 5!!!!

A Slice of Heaven
5 couples enjoyed this home for 6 nights in the middle of June. The weather was impeccable with only a few rain showers in the afternoon and evening. The home is beyond beautiful. The access to the beach made life so easy for us to bounce back and forth between the home and water. We enjoyed the pool, kayaks snorkeling gear, chairs and umbrellas. This home is well stocked with everything one might need to have a relaxing beach trip. Judy and her staff were quick to bring water when we ran out and Answer any questions we had regarding local attractions. The beach was very private with less than 20ish people using it on a daily basis. We enjoyed meals at both Santanas and Tropic Breeze. They were both enjoyable with delicious food and drinks. Everyone should take the time to get to this home and enjoy the peace and quiet it brings.

Amazing Trip - Epic Time - Greatest People
We rented both houses (Blue & Yellow) and had 8 people on each house and it was amazing start to finish. Location was breathless - one one of the greatest beaches in world - perfect location.
Judy and her team were amazing - had chef service two nights and the dinners where fabulous. She pre-loaded villas with our shopping list - service was awesome.
Must meet her cousin Theo - legendary boat tours - get his number from Judy.
Overall a 10 out of 10 - would highly recommend to anyone!!

The outside space was great and the beach fabulous. Just a short walk to a fun and funky beach bar and very close to Santanas and Tropical Breeze, two of the best restaurants on the island. Judy was excellant and was quick to respond to our questions and water delivery. She also arranged for a catered dinner cooked by her daughter which we really enjoyed. A large number of kayaks so we could all paddle to the of shore island and cave. Plenty of beach toys, umbrellas and chairs.

Beachfront Paradise!
Our group of 7 just returned from the most amazing stay at Suma Sands Villa on Tropic of Cancer.
The home is fully equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Upon arrival, our breath was taken away by the views that surround this property. The property was clean and well taken care of. Comfy beds and a nice indoor sitting area for the evenings (outside was too buggy). We spent a lot of our time in the pool and walking along the beach. Exuma is a very special island and we are so thankful we were able to experience it.
You are within close distance to some of the best food options on the island: Tropic Breeze, Santanas, Blu on the Water, Haulover Bay. We also hired Chef Khriston for one night during our stay and it was by far worth it - best food of our entire trip!
Communication with the host was excellent. All questions were answered promptly and we really enjoyed all the recommendation and information provided for us before our stay.
Will definitely be back to this beautiful spot someday!

Everything about this home, location and stay was exceptional! Suma Sands is my dream home in my dream location. It is far from the action-which was exactly what we were looking for. The view, the water, the beach were perfection! Andy was quick to respond and helpful before our trip. Judy and her team were very kind and quick to respond to a couple of needs while there, i.e. propane refill, vaccum. We thought we would miss the hot tub but the pool was so warm it didn't matter.
