Very nice flat, but too expensive. No nice beach!
There is a cat visiting every day: please feed her. She is cute and very friendly. The flat itself is very nice and clean. The garden is beautyful. The private beach is not nice: stones and not the beautyful blue color as the other beaches! The beautyful beaches are on the other side of the island. Very quiet as long as you are alone there. If there are other guests in the upper flat: no privacy, they can even see your bed as there is no door or proper curtain to the bedroom. You need a car! There is only a dirty road to get there.

Sunset Peaceful Gem
Absolutely wonderful experience!Plenty of room inside and out.We loved the screened in porch to do a little remote work and eat our meals. Lawn chairs and kayaks were perfect.Kayaked everyday in the beautiful water and area. Jig fishing off the rock breaks and snorkeling was fun. Visited and enjoyed a couple of the local restaurants but ate most of our meals at the condo. Sunsets were gorgeous. The property management met us on site at check in to make sure we had everything we needed. Pins were marked for us on google maps of all the places we wanted to go. The couple of items we needed during the 8 day stay were delivered quickly. Plenty of linens, towels and kitchen supplies. Very clean. Having the water cooler was a money saver and very much appreciated. We really enjoyed being so close to the water and on this side of the island. Roads coming in were an adventure in our rental car just needed to drive slow. We hope to return and enjoy this little gem on Exuma.

November trip
We stayed in November for our anniversary. Prior to arriving, Lott messaged me to ensure we had no questions. In arriving, Lott gave us a quick tour and provided suggestions to do. The home was just as stated. It was clean, had the items needed for our trip like chairs and umbrellas. When I had questions, Lott was super helpful and informative! Location is a little outside of Georgetown but easily access with a rental (which is a must in our opinion). Everything was great and we would definitely recommend this cute home.

Honeymoon Paradise
I recently had the pleasure of staying here, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the property’s stunning location and meticulous upkeep. Nestled in a beautiful garden and steps from the water, it provided the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway.
The amenities were truly outstanding. The spacious living area was bathed in natural light, making it a comfortable space for lounging or enjoying family time. We used the kayaks a few times to visit a small island across the flats. It truly made our time here! The most beautiful views. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, like a welcome basket filled with fresh fruit and bottle of wine.
The bedroom was a private oasis, decorated with style and comfort in mind. The bathroom was equally impressive, with plush towels and spacious shower.
Outside, the property offered an inviting patio area complete with a grill, outdoor seating, and a beautiful garden that was perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The proximity to the highway made it easy to explore and enjoy everything the island has to offer.
We were visiting during slow season for our honeymoon after getting married and spending the previous week in Paradise Island, Nassau Bahamas so it was nice to slow down and relax.
Jean Louis was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed, even snorkels & chairs. This rental made our honeymoon truly memorable and we can’t wait to visit again!

Amazing private beachside stay
Beautiful property with beautiful private beach. The kayaking is so much fun. The owners of the property are so nice and are willing to help with recommendations.
Apartment on the beach ,Bonefish lounge is the best place to stay on Exsuma Island .
Jackie and Jean Louis are very accommodating an knowledgeable of the island .
The property is unique to most of the island .
Location great for kayaking ,snorkeling, swimmimg and sunning . The apartment is cozy, moderen and well designed and furnished.
Better book this apartment if you want to get a feel of the island life . Centered mid island with easy excess to all the has to offer.
5 star all the way !!

Island adventure!
Host was extremely nice, courteous. Property was exactly as advertised. Very clean, plenty of room, cute.
Getting there is rough, don’t even think about renting a car unless you get a jeep if you don’t want to bust a axle! But that’s the entire island not just where this house is.

This is a perfect place if you are looking for seclusion, close enough to the main road but feels like your are in the middle of nowhere. Clean and well maintained property with first class hosts next door if you need anything. Don’t hesitate when booking this property!

The property sits right on a private small beach, with calm blue water.
It was very nice to have our gracious host

Paradise Found at Thalassa
We spent a fantastic 8 days/9 nights in this island paradise that far exceeded expectations. Pictures this locale justice. Our own private beach with snorkeling in the cove w/ 40 ft visibility on one day. Saw many tropical fish and little snappers. Saw a green sea turtle twice right off beach. Perfect mid-location to explore both Little Exuma and northern Great Exuma. Apartment well-stocked and water cooler saved us bundles as opposed to if we'd had to keep buying bottled water. Friendly owners, friendly caretakers...we're dreaming of our next trip to this little slice of heaven. Chuck & Beth Rawlinson, Richmond Hill, Georgia, U.S.
It’s a very beautiful, well appointed property. The water is unbelievably gorgeous. The owners are very nice and live next door year round. They were available to assist and answer any questions we had. They provided us with all the necessities from cooking to kayaking. The only drawback is the road condition is pretty rough. I would rent a jeep next time. Many of the roads are like this so it’s not unique to this property. Also, there is a larger apartment on the second floor that also gets rented and if the upstairs guests are loud, you will definitely be hearing them.

The paradise we needed
Our first trip in a year and half and we are SO happy we chose to stay here. Jean and Jackie are the most gracious of hosts and made sure everything we could need was provided. They greeted us personally and were always available to help. Their advice helped us maximize our stay and choose our daily excursions wisely! We took advantage of the kayak to enjoy an afternoon on our own little private island not far from the property coastline (a gorgeous sandbar is halfway where you can get out and walk around). The views were truly stunning from every room and we were so comfortable. Truly sad to leave, but can’t wait to come back (with friends!) to utilize both the downstairs and upstairs units. If you’re looking for a relaxing escape to a dreamy oceanfront abode, this is the place for you.

Great stay!
We loved staying at Jean-Louis and Jackie’s property! Located right on the water (Caribbean side), they have everything you need to enjoy your stay. We kayaked to the sand bar multiple times and snorkeled right outside the house. They were so helpful with any questions we had and made us feel right at home. Would love to visit again!
