Location: George Town, Great Exuma, The Exumas, Bahamas, Caribbean (Tar Bay)
Accommodations: House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 5)
Jericho House is a secluded property on the small island of Great Exuma. Houses on the island have names rather than addresses. Ours is no exception. Jericho House is named after a pond that has since then been filled but the name remains. The house is a simple single-story beach house designed for kicking back at the beach.
If solitude and beautiful views are your idea of paradise, you will love Exuma. Exuma's appeal is that it is not filled with tourist traps and fancy hotels and restaurants, but rather that it a place of serenity where walks on sparsely populated beaches and boating or diving in pristine turquoise blue waters bring peace to even the most stressed-out travelers.
Jericho House is located less than five miles from the airport. It is difficult to see from highway, and the neighbors are barely visible as well. The property has a large number of mature coconut palms giving the home a very tropical feel. When you walk through the door, you will remember why you spend a difficult day traveling. The ocean is visible through the picture window and is the first sight you see when you open the front door.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1983
My name is Steve McCann and my wife and I currently live in Bradenton, Florida. We have owned the home in Jericho for 26 years and have many wonderful vacations there.
Why the Owner Chose George Town
We wanted a place with beautiful water and beaches and one that was off the beaten track. Boating, diving, and snorkeling, and relaxing in a place where the people are so generous and friendly have enriched our lives for many years.
The Unique Benefits of this House
We have made so many friends from all over the world through our trips to the island. Exuma and its people have greatly enriched our lives.
