About this property

Sundowner House sits with an unparalleled view of the beautiful light blue sea. You can watch fish swim past from the patio– ideally done at “sundowner” time! The house sits 35 ft. above the sea and 25 yd from it, with beach frontage and safe swimming. Hoopers Bay is one of the most beautiful on the island, and extremely quiet. The house has three bedrooms, 1 with a king bed, one with a queen, and the other with twin beds which can be moved together to make another king. There is a mooring in front of the house, marked by a polystyrene buoy. This was installed in August 2022, and is a helix anchor point. All living rooms have fans, air conditioning and a full unobstructed sea view. In response to comments made by one tenant, we took on board what was said, and decided to give Sundowner a facelift, and the following renovations were carried out . The kitchen units, sink and bar were all replaced, and a new refrigerator/freezer bought. For the dining area, a new dining table with 6 chairs provided. All cracked ceramic floor tiles in the house were replaced. The master bedroom has a newly tiled floor, a brand new king size bed in 2018, whilst it's shower room has been completely renovated. It now has a walk in shower. The end bedroom has been altered, the wooden door to the outside has been filled in. The patio has 4 new sunbeds.

Please note, the HOUSE IS ON THE BEACH. I am frustratingly unable to get removed the note that it is a "7 minute drive to the beach".

Two paths lead from the house, which join up then take you to some steps onto the beautiful beach.
Exuma is one to the best bone fishing areas in the world, and it has some of the clearest and cleanest seas to swim, snorkel or dive in. Facilities are available in George Town to do all these things, and also hiring boats. Brochures have been placed in the house to help you in this matter.
The house has satellite WIFI using Starlink so is very fast.
There is split A/C in all bedrooms, kitchen and lounge/diner area.
2 outdoor showers.

One good suggestion from a renter is to bring with you a few paper products that are light and easy to carry, such as trash bags, detergent pods, tin foil, baggies etc as they are very expensive to buy on the island. If you use the App "What3words" the driveway to the house is identified by "sunlit.fattens.mentioned"

First time at Sundowner House

This was our first stay at Sundowner House. We had been to Exuma the previous two years but had stayed at a different location. We found Sundowner to be extremely conveniently located. Walking distance to Prime Meats and Mikes Pizza and less than five minutes from Smittys grocery and pharmacy. The house was clean and spacious with fantastic views and great beach frontage. You can be in Georgetown in less than 10 minutes from there and the airport is close by as well. The owner was communicative and even offers to have a few groceries on hand which can be a huge help especially if you are arriving on a Sunday as most things close early that day (if they open at all). There is also a local property manager close by that was responsive if you need than. Great stay and wonderful place. We will definitely book again.

Best location on Hoopers Bay

Stayed here 3 times. Can’t beat the location and size of the property. Slightly elevated so the views of Hoopers Bay are awesome. Steps away from one of the nicest beaches in Exuma. Easy to get to Georgetown, Smittys, or Prime market. Great house that we will book again.

Amazing home!!!

What a cute, comfy cottage vibe with everything you could need for a lovely vacation. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms made it so nice, with each BR having access to their own full bath. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. No dishwasher, and that would have been nice, but not a big deal. Beds were fine, everything was clean!The VIEW!!! Simply stunning!! Quick walk to the beach, some steps, so must be able to walk well to navigate. Lots of blow up floats. One thing I really missed was having sand chairs!! That was the only thing that I coveted, all else was lovely. Our host and liaison were warm, responsive and kind. The house cleaner, a gem. Great location! Rent this home!

Location is EVERYTHING!

Sundowner is sweetly positioned on one of the best bay's on the island with the clearest water and the most pristine beaches! The beach makes for a beautiful morning and evening walk with no bugs. Down by the docks, the weeds allow for a great beach shelling spot. There's a natural reef/structure to the left of the beach that has amazing fish (Barracuda, Sea Turtle, Sea Cucumber, Starfish). There was a resident shark that visited a few times. We weren't too worried as we know Lemon Sharks are fairly common on the island. Geoff, and Jenny were amazing hosts and anytime we had questions, they were there to answer! The house itself had most everything you need for a successful stay. Plan on buying/bringing toilet paper, paper towels, tin foil, kleenex, etc. LOVED having a walkout for each room! The patio was our daily resting spot for boat watching. Smitty's down the road was great for basic things like gallon drinking water (cheapest), and a full pharmacy. Prime Meats is walking distance, be aware, the last hour of the day, is hectic. Locals come get last minute items. For pizza, we preferred Splash more than Mike's (pizza battle). Peace & Plenty has resident Turtles. MINOR Feedback - 1) Driveway walls are super tight for vans. Add gravel to bottom to prevent bottoming out (every time). 2) Low patio walls can be sketchy for littles. 3) Kept having small bugs getting in from somewhere on the counters & food. 4) Master shower door doesn't close all the way. 5) Grill vent rusted.

Spectacular setting and location!

The view from this home is fantastic, the most peaceful and serene broad look across Hooper's Bay and out towards the outer barrier islands in the distance. I've been all over the Caribbean and never seen more beautiful water.The living room and all three bedrooms look out over the water. The deck/patio that is right off the living room and all bed rooms is a great place to hangout, whether for morning coffee, a late day cocktail, or any other time.The beach was pristine, fine white sand, and virtually uninhabited for its entire width (this was the week before Christmas).Home has everything you need, kitchen is very thoroughly appointed, furnishings are functional if not the most current / "luxuriously" comfortable but that is the only nit I would make, and the entire experience of the house is overwhelmingly positive.Communication with the owner and the local caretaker was thorough, clear, and very quick to respond. The owner provides some excellent guidance on local restaurants and attractions, and even recommended a boat charter captain who we used, was a fantastic experience and less expensive than others on the island.Bottom line, I would absolutely return to the Sundowner.

Great Spot

We enjoyed our first time in Exuma. The house is a perfect location with a beautiful beach. The view is spectacular and the water is so blue! The house is showing some wear but it was fine for us. We spend most of our time outside anyway. Jenny was great and answered any questions we had. We would recommend this house.

Functional

First, location is great and the views from the deck are spectacular. From there, I would call the house functional. Don't expect a bunch of bells and whistles with this one other that the view and location. Three bedroom and three bathroom worked for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked but there was nothing spectacular about it with a small cook top and no dishwasher. Being right on the beach was great but if you have issues with hills or stairs, you are going to want to stay away as it is a trip down a significant hill to get to the beach. A few beach items were in the storage room but no chairs (note that the owner states that beach gear is questionable so no complaints from this). Would we stay here again? Maybe but it wouldn't be my first choice.

Paradise is for real!

My stay at the property on Exuma Island in the Bahamas was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were utterly amazed by the breathtaking location. Nestled in a serene and picturesque setting, this house truly had everything we needed and more. The interior was impeccably furnished, providing all the comforts of home. Each room was thoughtfully designed, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. Whether it was the fully equipped kitchen, the cozy living spaces, or the stunning views from every window, we felt right at home. However, the highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the beach. It was, without a doubt, the best beach I have ever seen. The soft, powdery sand and the crystal-clear turquoise waters were simply mesmerizing. We spent countless hours soaking up the sun, swimming in the gentle waves, and marveling at the natural beauty surrounding us. This property on Exuma Island offered us a slice of paradise that we will never forget. It was the perfect getaway, providing both relaxation and adventure. If you're looking for an unforgettable vacation, look no further – this place has it all. Thanks Geoff for the help and all the good advices you provided!

Great house in a great location!

Our stay at the house was fantastic. The house was clean, and its location was perfect, just a short drive from downtown Georgetown and convenient grocery stores. This central location made exploring the area effortless. Hooper's Bay, right in front of the house, was calm all week and clear, making it hard to leave and explore other areas. We enjoyed every moment and will definitely return!

Fantastic View

The view was amazing. The house was perfect for us. The one thing i would suggest is that the walk way from the house to the beach have a railing. One of our guest could not go down, it was to steep with nothing to hold on to. We had a fantastic time and Geoffry gave us many suggestions of where to go and what to see.

Perfect Rental For Us

My wife and I were making our seventh visit to Exuma and we finally convinced her sister and another couple to come with us. This is the first time we've rented a house and this one could not have been better. Absolutely perfect location. Close to Georgetown. On Hooper's Bay. Near a couple of stores. Perfect. If you want an ultra-modern, super ritzy house, this is not for you. It's a homey, comfortable home with everything you need for comfort. Everything worked. Lots of little home comforts - i.e. books, puzzles, kitchen utensils of all kinds, binoculars, swim fins and floats, etc. All little things that made you feel like you were at home. Highest recommendation. We'll be back.

British, and first bought land on Exuma in 1964. Retired over 25 years, formerly an RAF pilot and airline Captain. My first house on Exuma I had built on Tar Bay.

Why they chose this property

Bought the land and built the house in 1990, due to its stunning location. The width of the plot allowed me to have 3 bedrooms all with a sea view.

What makes this property unique

Stunning view where 10 islands can be seen.
Height above the sea, which gives fantastic sights into the sea, where passing fish can be seen.
Closeness to the main town, and the airport.
