Can’t beat the view !
The property is amazing. The pool, the dock, the location … you really can’t ask for more ! Jonas the property manager is THE nicest man - super helpful and very responsive. The house was perfect for our stay - 2 bedrooms/baths in upper main part of house, master suite is separate and the lower bedrooms/bathrooms worked out great for our party. The lower rooms are not connected by stairs, you walk outside - just FYI. The pool is great, the hot tub was perfect. If you have a large group of couples and/or family, this house really is ideal.

Great property
Wonderful property overall but a few deferred maintenance items. Everything worked so not the end of the world, but the grill is in dire need of repair and has almost rusted through. The pool was too cold for a January visit. For the price, I would have expected a pool heater. Beautiful views and a great dock. Watch the dishes as most had to be rewashed as did utensils, glassware etc due to food chunks on them. We were offered concierge groceries but after emailing the groundskeeper within the week's deadline we did not have the groceries requested ... not a big deal but would have preferred to know this request could not be accommodated prior to arrival. Again, a great property but I expect these small issues to not exist based on the price of the property.

House is the star
Easily one of the nicest properties in Exuma. Views are exceptional and the layout is ideal for multiples couples. Family could not have been more pleased. House does have minor deferred maintenance (roof leaked under very hard rains, but nothing distracted from our stay). Will definitely be on our short list to rent again.

We stayed at Vista Del Mar the week of July 4th. The house location is wonderful. We have been coming to the Exumas for 10 years and this by far is located the best! The house is near everything we could need. The view of Elizabeth Harbour every day is stunning. Jonas, the caretaker, was helpful if we needed any assistance. Hope to come back and rent again!!

Great Stay, Great House and Location
Home was exactly like the pictures, very clean and well appointed. Outdoor areas and dock were great. We enjoyed getting a boat each day at Minns and then picking up the family off the dock each day. Highly recommend this property. Location is also great, only 10-15 minutes from airport and shopping is close by. Would stay here again for sure.

Great Vacation
Really enjoyed our stay. Check in/out was seamless the property was well maintained and the owner and property manager where prompt in their communication with us. Overall we really enjoyed out vacation would definitely recommend this to folks that are considering it. One minor issue was the hot tub, for whatever reason it was not ever hot. Not a problem in the summer but in spring it would have been nice to be able to use it in the evenings and watch the sunset.

No hot water in the bathrooms for the first few nights, but Jonas took care of that finally. Hot tub was not hot in the afternoons. Otherwise everything was excellent. Jonas was very helpful, responsive and respectful to all of our group of five couples. Great trip to Exuma. House is in a wonderful location with an excellent dock.

Our family of 8 just spent a week at Vista Del Mar. The house was Beautiful and had everything we needed. This was our first time to Exuma and the location of the home is perfect to explore all of the island. The owners were great and Jonas met us at the airport to escort us to the house. I highly recommend this house. We will be back!

This villa is gorgeous. You will have an adventure to remember. Jonas is a great caretaker and available to help with whatever is needed. The adults and kids loved the pool, new dock, and water toys. Convenient to Hooper's Bay beach and Jolly Hall beach. Short drive from the airport. We wished we could stay longer!

We have loved our stay at this wonderful property. The openness and flow of the villa ensured a family of four plus friends had both privacy and great times in the many communal areas. The views were wonderful also. Jonas was a great support when needed and we wanted for nothing. Only small regret was that we didn’t rent a car and should have prior to arriving because there were no cars available once we were here. Thank you for a great vacation, The Parkin Family.

Outstanding Property
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Vista Del Mar. The views were stunning from everywhere on this property. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or villa to stay for our family of eight. We were so close to town yet felt like we were in the middle of paradise by ourselves. . There was plenty of room for everybody to spread out if they wanted to and lots of areas to gather together as well. We loved all the seating areas around the property The property manager Jonas was very receptive to all of our communication and was very helpful the entire trip. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return soon!

Excellent stay!
This was our first time to Exuma. The house was wonderful with an amazing view! All of the amenities were provided. It was so nice to have floats, kayaks, paddle boards, games, and all kitchen supplies. The dock was amazing and we enjoyed floating under it to escape the sun at times. Jonas was very quick to respond with questions. The owner was also very quick to respond. We rented a boat for two days and it was great being able to load and unload at the dock. We will definitely be back! The most beautiful water we have ever seen!

About the host

Hosted by Denise Witmer

Host profile image
Paul and Denise are Canadian business owners with a flare for travel.
We are adventurous and willing to adopt new challenges, thereby challenged by the renovation and pool construction on this property. Having enjoyed Mexico, Hawaii, Italy, Greece, Scotland and England, we were ready to have a home away from home, somewhere warm and not too far away from home. Georgetown, Exuma, with an easy 3 hour flight direct from Toronto was our deciding factor.
As we enjoy people, we also enjoy entertaining & we invite you to experience the Villa and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We first traveled with friends to The Bahamas in January of 2015 and instantly fell in love with Exuma. The tranquility of the area with the small-town atmosphere and friendly people inspired us to investigate properties. We preferred the breezy Atlantic side versus the leeward/backside of the island where it is much hotter. We were enchanted by the steady stream of boats of all sizes passing in the near distance into and out of Elizabeth Harbour, a safe harbour for an estimated 500 boats. This provides a tranquil entertainment.
Paul, being a student of architecture, really appreciated the Spanish flair to the structure of Vista Del Mar. The arches reminded him of the Roman aqua-duct enticing us further. Paul's knowledge of structures helped to determine that the building was sound and well-constructed, thereby being a good basis for our investment. The attention to detail surrounding the column placements allows for unobstructed views of the water even from the furthermost interior rooms of the house. The elevation of the property ensures that the building will not see extensive water damage from ocean tides and swells. As well the building itself is additionally secured with double-ring hurricane beams, making the Villa able to withstand hurricane force winds.

What makes this property unique

The Villa has an unique elevated view that is breathtaking. With a private infinity pool and hot tub there is no need to go too far to enjoy the heat of the day. Likewise there is always a cool, shaded or breezy spot, or a hot, sunny sheltered area somewhere on the premises, dependent upon the ever changing wind patterns.
The Master bedroom private wing is also unique in that the Master is remote from the activities of the household.
We had the vision to entertain many people, yet at the Villa all are able to find a quiet corner to themselves.
