About this property

The Sandbar Luxury Oceanfront Home, 5 Bedroom 5 Bath, Infinity Pool/Hot Tub


The Sandbar is a luxury Bahamian beach house located in Tar Bay. We are 8 minutes from the airport. The house is set on a dreamy 4 km private sandy beach. A picture perfect setting has been created for our guests with all the tropical entrapments of palm trees and stunning views of the legendary turquoise waters of Exuma.

A driveway entrance of carved out limestone and Coco Palms reveal an island home adorned with sky blue Bahamian shutters and a creamy white shiplap facade. A window glass door welcomes you where you can see the ocean as soon as you have arrived.

The beach house features a 4 bedroom main house, sleeping 10. Guests will find two King oceanfront bedrooms and one King with a custom Murphy Bunk Bed, all with ensuites. The fourth bedroom has King bed that can be customized to be two Twins. A pocket door provides access to a King ensuite. The beachfront cottage is spacious and offers panoramic views of the ocean. It is fitted with a King bed and ensuite. It is steps away from the main house and the beach.

The Sandbar was designed to celebrate and create long lasting memories for family and friends. The open living areas encourage socializing while providing spaces for seclusion and relaxation. The Great Room is striking with its vaulted ceilings and whitewashed rafters. An entertainers dream kitchen is the heart of the room and a 6' bar window allows guests to be engaged with the outdoor happenings as well. The custom round dining table for10 will have you sharing food and drink into the wee hours. I can hear the stories and laughter now ! There are comfy couches with a large coffee table you can put your feet on, a swivel Egg chair you can snuggle up in and read in, a games area to play chess, cards or dominoes AND an open area for dancing !. You have to have dancing ! The windows and French doors of the room stretch 32' across the oceanside to an expansive pool deck featuring a covered Alfresco dining and lounge area for 12 .The tanning ledge infinity pool is decked out with two tanning ledge loungers, while another six loungers hug the pool edges. A lower deck of white Adirondike chairs provide another area to hang out in and enjoy what I call the "The Exuma Effect"... being hypnotized by the color and sounds of the turquoise waters.
The Lower deck is just steps from the ocean where you can access the storage underneath to gather up your kayaks or paddle boards. While some are taking in the waves, others taking in the pool and 6 person hot tub, I like to head to the kitchen bar and make the gang Goombay Smashers and let the holiday begin !

Bahamas with babies was paradise!

The perfect vacation! Four families each with a small child (6 months to 2.5 years) and one nanny had the BEST time at the Sandbar! The home is perfectly equipped, squeaky clean, convenient to the airport, and even better than the pictures. The hosts were great to communicate with and helped plan a perfect trip with their excellent recommendations from a private chef to a private boat tour to see Exuma’s famous pigs! Highly recommend this home! We will be back!

A Slice of Paradise: The Sand Bar in Exuma

Our family just returned from a dream vacation at The Sand Bar in Exuma, and it exceeded every expectation! This luxury rental is truly second to none. This is our second time to Exuma and the location cannot be beat.The house itself is absolutely gorgeous. Every corner is thoughtfully designed, blending luxury with a welcoming, homey vibe that made us feel right at ease. It accommodated three generations of our family seamlessly, offering enough space for privacy and communal areas perfect for creating cherished memories.Heather, our host, was exceptional. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, answering questions promptly and providing excellent recommendations. Her attention to detail and warm hospitality made the experience even more special. We ordered food from Betty for night one and groceries since the store was closed after 3pm on Sunday.The location? Pure perfection. Nestled on one of the most picturesque parts of the island, Whether it was sunrise walks or evenings spent under the stars in the hot tub, every moment felt magical.This trip was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Three generations of our family shared paradise together, and The Sand Bar was the perfect backdrop for these unforgettable memories. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of heaven! Highly, highly recommend!

Great house for family vacation

This was our first trip to Exuma. The Sandbar listing represents this beautiful property well, but walking in the front door took my breath away. The house is great space for a large group, decorated warmly and welcoming, and provides all of the amenities you need for a relaxing, comfortable beach vacation. Heather was so helpful before and during our trip with tips and information. The property manager was available to answer questions and help in any way. The beach is soft, white sand and the pool and hot tub were put to good use. It was just an outstanding property!

The best place to stay in Exuma!

The Sandbar is an incredible ocean front home on one of the most beautiful beaches you’ll ever see. Our 9 night stay there as a family of 10 was perfect and Heather was most helpful in planning our vacation-from activities to chef services to just enjoying the house. The house itself is stunning, comfortable and well stocked. She has thought of everything. I highly recommend this property and host and hope we will be returning again. I can’t imagine ever staying anywhere else on the island. A true gem!

Sandbar did not disappoint!!

Tar bay is our favorite place to stay on the island and we absolutely loved our stay at the Sandbar. The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. We loved the common spaces inside and outside of the home. The views from the deck/pool and house are stunning. The house was very clean and well kept. We loved all the hats on the wall and even got to use some. The house is inviting and cozy And really does feel like home. Heather was amazing to work with, very responsive. Thank you for letting us enjoy your slice of heaven. We will be back!

We had the best time at Heather's house! We imagined it would be nice from the pictures on the listing but it's even better in person! The layout of the house was perfet for our group of family and friends. The ocean, the pool, the excursions Heather recommended were all top-notch. If you are thinking about booking, do it already!

Sensational Stay at the Sandbar!

Beautifully appointed house, with an incredible ocean view, anchored by the best outdoor area with an infinity pool. Relaxing, refreshing, and the perfect place to decompress and forget about the rat race. We had eleven in our party including five teenagers and the house accommodated us perfectly. We enjoyed a couple of boat rides, snorkeling, paddle boarding, among so many fun things. Heather was great and I highly recommend the Sandbar! I hope we go back in the future!

We had the most incredible experience at the Sandbar. Heather was so responsive and helpful with our plans since day 1 of booking several months in advance. The home is spectacular - clean and gorgeous. You really can’t beat the view and proximity to the airport. We are already planning our next trip back to this same home! 10/10 truly.

Home away from home!

I honestly don't know where to start because everything was so amazing and noteworthy. If you are considering booking, do not hesitate, you will be so thankful! From the moment of booking Heather is wonderful at communicating and giving you every resource you could possibly need. She is more than your typical vrbo host, she truly cares about your vacation plans. We went with a group of 10 adults and it was perfect for that size group. This home is in the best location, it is clean, has everything you could ever need and THE VIEW is breathtaking. It is truly hard to put into words how at ease you feel the whole time. There are so many caring for the home as well and a simple message away if you have any questions while there. The only negative is having to leave. It is a place we will absolutely go back to again and again!

Immaculate House

This was our first time to Exuma and picking the Sandbar house for our stay was the best decision we made. It met our expectations in every way. Not only is the house clean and fully stocked but it is decorated so cute. The pictures on the listing don’t do it justice. At the Sandbar, you will have everything provided for an unforgettable vacation.

Could not have been any better!!

Our family has been blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy many incredible family vacations. Therefore, expectations have gotten high. Somewhat shockingly, The Sandbar exceeded all expectations! The house, the location and views, the amenities, and the help from Heather and her team were all impeccable! I truly can't imagine anything that could have been better. Every detail, big and small, was proactively addressed. So much so that it motivated me to post a review (which I've never done). Thank you Heather!

Perfect location, beautiful new house!

From the day we began the reservation process to the last day of our stay everything was terrific. Heather made excellent recommendations and took care of several of the reservations personally, something the past VRBO owners we have had haven’t done. The house is even nicer than the photos. We recommend Betty for meal delivery and Chef Khristont for dinner (and a song)! Awesome Al took us the see the swimming pigs. Recommend it and note that it is about a 60 mile ride out and back. Highly recommend The Sandbar!

Perfect!

Everything about this property exceeded our expectations! It is just as perfect as it seems in photos. Heather was a pleasure to work with. We ordered food from Da Kitchen upon arrival which was not only delicious but perfect for leftovers throughout the week. Exuma was absolutely lovely and we enjoyed beautiful weather. Despite our best efforts with diligent bug spray and repellants, the sand flies got us if we tried to be outside in the morning or evening, so that is my only caution. The home is absolutely gorgeous and the owners have really thought of everything! We would love to return! ♥️

Our Island Beach House
- The Sandbar -

Legend has it that when God created the world she had some bits and pieces left over
and scattered them over the Western Atlantic.
I call this place Heaven on Earth.
My husband Robbie and I discovered the Exumas through friends,
having absolutely no idea that
a string of pearl islands and aquamarine waters
would dramatically change our lives forever.

Why they chose this property


We chose to develop this property due to it's spectacular beach and stunning views. We searched the island far and wide to find the perfect lot that we could build our dream vacation home. We bought the property in 2019 and began building in 2020. We are a Canadian family with two young adults kids who love Exuma as much as we do. No time is wasted when you arrive. We are 8 minutes from the airport until you are on The Sandbar pool deck sipping drinks and taking in that turquoise water view.
