This beautiful, two story townhouse unit, built in 2007, is just steps from the white sand beach of Elizabeth Harbour. Professionally decorated in upscale island charm Unit 37 offers a spacious fully equipped and well appointed home with stunning views of tropical islands & crystal Caribbean waters. The thoughtfully designed main level is comprised of guest storage, a library & 2 bedrooms, each with their own private bath. The open & inviting upper level offers a full sized kitchen, dining & living areas, computer station, a half bath, & balcony access. Let your cares melt away as you enjoy the the sun rises over Lee Stocking Island and Elizabeth Harbour. Walk the tranquil & pristine Sandy Beach of Palm Bay & just around the corner, Jolly Hall Beach. Snorkel the azur Bahamian waters just steps from your villa and be awed by the reefs & abundance of sea life. Whatever dreams you have for your Island experience, opportunities are endless...
Great Exuma is a small, but inviting island with endless opportunities to experience the Bahamian way. A short trip to Georgetown allows you to visit local restaurants, buy groceries and gas, get your hair done, or order fresh caught fish. A visit to the local 'Straw Market' is a great way to pick up a few trinkets and t-shirts and watch local ladies weave straw baskets. You may even be lucky enough to pick up some fresh local veggies for supper. Fishing supplies and boat and fishing guide rentals are available. A pedestrian ferry, also located in Georgetown carries folks over to Stocking Island, a barrier island just off the east coast of central Exuma. Experience the unforgettable, traditional 'pig roast' at The Chat & Chill , get closeup and personal with huge rays or be really adventuresome and taste a local special 'conch salad'! Do some sail boat watching, snorkeling and exploring, which might even lead you to the other side of the island, open seas and great beach combing.
If you're more inclined to a driving adventure, there is a car rental agency 2 minutes walk from your vacation home. Drive up or down island to experience historic sites, amazing tropical scenery and more public and sometimes not so accessible beaches. Shoot a round at the fabulous Greg Norman Signature Golf Course, at Sandals Resort, just 15 minutes drive north of Palm Bay Resort.
And don't miss the evening 'Fish Fry'! Whether you're into the fresh caught fish of the day, prepared in any of many Bahamian ways or chicken and ribs over a huge drum barbeque, be sure to wander down the Queen's Highway about a half mile to a collection of kiosks and picnic tables called 'Fish Fry'! Yum!
Scuba diving adventures are amazing as the out islands provide opportunities for a variety of diving skills. Bring your gear or rent, and guides on the island will ensure you have a great day!

This is OUR Homeaway! (3rd Stay)

This was our 3rd stay in this unit (4th at Palm Bay). If someone chooses to stay at a place 3 times, doesn't that say enough???? We were just there in March (see previous review), but the family wanted to go again and I'm not going to argue about going back to Palm Bay or Exuma! Mike and Sandi are wonderful to work with. In fact, we brought a few things to leave in the kitchen to compliment our NEXT stay. We also left 4 floats under the stairs. We tie them to the boat we rent from Minns and they have a 25 foot rope that allows you to float around without going too far. They will also work great at Jolly Hally beach. Wonderful accomidations, great floorplan, full kitchen, full size washer and dryer, great balcony to view the sunrise and convenient to everything. Thank you for considering unit 37! If you do stay, be sure to let Mike and Sandi know of anything that is needed so that we can bring it down next time!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Without a doubt, our stay at Palm Beach proved to be our favorite family vacation to date!! The beach on the property was relaxing and easy -- the absolute perfect spot for our two year-old daughter to play. The water was clear and calm, and our baby girl was able to wade freely within it without us worrying at all. The staff at the hotel was always incredibly helpful, as were the owners of this property. The villa itself was spacious and nicely equipped with all one could need to feel at home. We have traveled all over the Caribbean, but Exuma now reigns as our favorite island. The turquoise waters are unparalleled, the white sand is powdery soft, and the locals are friendly. We cannot return soon enough, and will most definitely stay here again when we do!Owner response: Thank you for taking time to write this review, Evan and Michelle. We're so pleased that even the youngest of our visitors enjoyed their experience at our beautiful resort. We hope your family will return to Exuma to experience many more wonderful vacations, as there just seems to be an almost endless recounting of amazing opportunities on this gorgeous island. We would be happy to provide your accommodation again anytime.

We recently stayed her in June of 2011 and looked all around again to find a different island or maybe a different place to stay. After HOURS AND HOURS online and many family discussions, we kept coming back to how much we enjoyed Exuma and how wonderful unit 37 is at Palm Bay in meeting our family needs of space, comfort and privacy. If you are thinking about coming to Exuma, STAY HERE! It is spacious, clean, well stocked, has 2 and a half baths, FULL SIZE washer and dryer and a dishwasher (many units do NOT have one). The beds are comfortable, 3 tv's (if you use them!), onsite restuarant, free shuttle into town and Minns will let you keep one of their boats onsite. Mike and Sandi are very responsive and just nice people to work with as well! I have posted lots of Exuma and Palm Bay info on tripadvisor.com so go there for the things to do and tours to take. But, if you go to Exuma, you should try to stay here. The enjoyment of your trip depends on it!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The accommodations in this townhouse were excellent; all the rooms, especially kitchen and dining/living room upstairs, are spacious. Having a full kitchen in the unit was great. Because eating out is expensive, we mostly ate at the unit except when we were driving around the island, going out for lunch, or taking boat trips. The location of Palm Bay is great. It saved us a lot of money by avoiding renting a car except couple of times, when we wanted to explore the island. Palm Bay shuttle service to Georgetown was complimentary, it goes once every two hours (the first one at 9am and the last one at 5 pm) , it takes you anywhere within Georgetown (e.g. grocery store or Minn’s rental boats). We also rented a car across the street from Palm Bay, drove to Santannas in Williamstown on Little Exuma, had lunch there, it was excellent. If you like bakery and deserts, you can also buy very good (and sweet) rum cakes from Mom’s bakery that is next door to Santannas. Then, we drove to the north of the island. We also used a water taxi. It took us from Palm Bay to Stocking Island that was definitely worth visiting. We walked across the island to the ocean side of it, saw and touched stingrays which were swimming along the beach during lunch time. While Palm Bay beach is good, Jolly Hall beach that is 5 minute walk along the water from the unit is beautiful. We preferred Palm Bay beach for snorkeling, and Jolly Hall beach for swimming. Children also enjoyed kayaks and table tennis at Palm Bay. We spent two weeks in the middle of July at Palm Bay. We were afraid of hurricane season, but It rained only twice during our stay: first time it lasted from 3 pm to ~10 am next morning, and second time it was overnight. So, the weather was very good. Overall, we had a great time, and would stay at this unit again.Owner response: Thank you for the amazingly descriptive review. Of course we're very happy you had such a great stay at our beautiful townhome at the beach, but we really appreciate you telling other potential guests some of the details of your adventures and discoveries while on Exuma. Thank you for taking time to write this review and know you'll always be welcomed back.

Everything Positive at Palm Bay!

When we decided to return to Exuma, we thought we might try someplace different as we have stayed at Palm Bay before. But after looking at MANY choices, we know we made the correct decision! Mike and Sandi have a wonderful place! It is roomy (2 stories with bedrooms down and living up), well appointed (comfy beds, dvd players/flatscreens & plenty of places to sit), has a wonderful layout, fantastic & USEFUL balcony (great view overlooking beach & dock), full size kitchen (including dishwasher), & FULL size washer & dryer (remember you are at the beach and EVERYTHING gets sand in it!). You can look all over the net, but with the features this unit has, then add free shuttle into town (a taxi is $10 one way), FREE use of dock should you rent a boat (only way to go), on site restaurant (for times you just don't want to cook), great snorkling RIGHT off the beach (including large barricuda!) you really won't find a better place for your money. Trust me, I could ramble on about how wonderful staying in THIS unit made our vacation, but the short and sweet of it is for YOU to get in touch with Mike and Sandi and discuss getting this place reserved. They were easy to deal with & had great communication. If you should have any questions or would like additional information about our experience or Exuma, please feel free check things out at tripadvisor.com Thanks Mike and Sandi for making our trip very comfortable!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you Larry, for choosing to stay in our villa and for sharing some of the adventures you and your family experienced while on vacation on Exuma. We're really pleased to hear that you loved the accomodations, and hope you'll call us next time you visit Exuma.

We spent a week in this unit and had a phenomenal week. The Exumas are phenomenal and this condo is roomy and in fantastic condition. The beds are extremely nice and comfortable for a rental unit and the other appointments are very nice. The view is great as well. What a peaceful and relaxing place. Make sure to hit the Fish Fry, Big D's Conch Spot and the Chat n Chill. The beach on the Atlantic side of Stocking Cay is deserted and beautiful. Mike and Sandi were very easy to work and helpful with info as well. The prestocking service was great as well. Snacks and Kaliks were in the unit when we arrived. Thanks.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you for the great review, and for telling us a bit about your week on Exuma. We're so pleased to hear your stay in our beautiful townhouse #37 at Palm Bay was just what you were hoping for. Please call us again when you consider another visit to Exuma!

Palm Bay Beach Club was a perfect vacation getaway

We just returned from a 4 day weekend getaway (2 couples) at Palm Bay Beach Club. We rented unit 37 directly from the owners. The owner (Sandi) went out of her way to make the process as easy as possbile. She was quick to respond to questions and requests and provided many details on what to do while at Palm Bay and around Great Exuma. We flew privatley from Florida into Exuma International and found the airport staff and customs personnel extremely easy to work with and inviting. Odyssey Aviation staff are great and made entering/leaving a snap. The pictures on Homeaway.com make Palm Bay Beach Club look very nice, which is why we chose to check it out. However, the pictures do not do this place justice. # 37 is a two story townhome DIRECTLY overlooking the beautiful beach and harobur towards Stocking Island. It has to be one of the prettiest views in the Carribean. A couple of hundred yards down the beach is another beach that is even prettier. The resort area is fantastic with pool, beach, and restaurant/bar right on site. The food at Splash was basic, but very good and the drink/food prices were extremely moderate. We went one night to Peace and Plenty's restaurant and the food was also very good. We took the resort shuttle into/out of George Town (2 minute drive down road) several times and took taxis (very numberous) several other times. The shuttle was free and the taxis are reasonable @ about $12 1 way (not bad for 4 people). Absolutely do not miss out on Stocking Island's Chat N Chill. First time over we took the ferry. Chat N Chill was like Gilligan's island with food, drinks, perfect beaches, and unbelievable water. Chairs were free and we sat on the beach ALL day. The food and drinks are all very tasty. Rent a boat from Minns. Very nice people and perfectly located in town. A ride around the islands within Elizabeth Harbour was great with many isolated beaches with sand like powdered sugar. Really unbelievable. Ended up taking the boat back to Chat N Chill for the Sunday pig roast. Not to be missed and delicious. The folks at the resort were all friendly and the accommodations were perfect. The townhome is quite large and equipped with everything we needed. We are already discussing when we can get back down to Palm Bay. We've been all over the Carrebean and the Bahamas, but the Exumas and Palm Bay have to be one of the prettiest places we've seen. Thank you Sandi for your help and we wish you the best.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, girls getaway, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, families with teenagers.
Owner response: Thank you for such a glowing review. We're thrilled our guests had such a great time on Exuma and were so happy with our beautiful suite and it's location. We'd welcome them back anytime!
