The spacious accommodation enjoys wonderful beach and sea views of Hoopers Bay which is regarded as the best beach to stay on in Exuma. Guests have said "WOW what a beach!!" when they first step onto the soft white sand of the half mile long beach which is only seconds from the property and through our palm filled garden to the sea.
See our turtles-exuma.com website and enjoy watching how our guests have interacted with the turtles and learn more about their lives and protection.

Sandy Palms is quietly located down its own tree lined drive and not disturbed by other properties. It is only 12 minutes from the international airport and 6 minutes from the capital, George Town whilst a good range of local shops are within a 5 minute easy walk.
Two of the upper 4 bedrooms with King & Queen sized beds are sea facing with large sliding glass doors leading to the spacious sundeck with tables and chairs for meals or relaxing and enjoying the sea views stretching all the way along the island and in summer offers marvelous sunsets. The two other bedrooms are garden facing and one can be either 2 x twins or triples or king, with the other being a Queen with a rollaway bed if required and this gives a wide degree of flexibility for groups of families or friends traveling together but who want to enjoy space and privacy.
The Great Room, which runs the length of the building, directly connects all the bedrooms (see a floor plan on the photos page) and has a dining area seating 10, the fully equipped kitchen (with dishwasher) a study area and lounge which leads to the spacious sundeck. There is also a washer and dryer laundry facility in a separate room in the upper floor. Beside flat screen TV + DVD player there is high speed fiber optic Wifi for working, playing games or watching videos.
Outside, from the sundeck, a large staircase leads down into our palm filled garden which extends to the beach where we have loungers, tables and chairs and kayaks for our guests as well as a selection of beach toys and games. We also provide FREE kayaks and paddleboard for our guests to enjoy exploring the calm and safe Hoopers Bay or paddle with our resident GREEN TURTLES! See some of the photos for how guests have enjoyed meeting them.

Also guests can enjoy a rental power boat delivered directly in front of the property and available to use whenever they want to explore offshore cays, go fishing or snorkeling without the need to each day collect and return it to George Town. Ask us for details.

ADDITIONALLY, for smaller groups of 2 or 4 or 6 guests we can also offer our adjacent beachfront coralsandsbahamas. See our listing #4241028 for the 3 bed condo, or our #3708343 for the 2 bed apt. or #3707980 for the Studio and all enjoying being directly on the same beautiful Hoopers Bay beach!

A little piece heaven
The home and location were amazing. The home owners so accommodating and friendly. Our family was looking for an exceptional location to unwind and connect. We had a week of perfect weather on a beautiful secluded beach. This vacation exceeded our expectation.

Perfect Location for Families on Exuma
We loved our stay perfect location on Exuma....we were able to visit both the southern end and the northern most end easily via the van provided! Families with kids will love Hoopers Bay in that the water was as calm as I have ever seen it in Exuma and clear. Added bonus was the sea turtles 🐢 and the kayaks!!! This location and house are ideally situated. I did all the research on this vacation and felt like I picked the best place overall on the island!!! The owners are delightful 😀

Family Sanctuary
Sandy Palms at Hooper Bay is what every family vacation spot wishes it could be. Powdery beaches with turquoise water steps from the back deck. Open the door and you can turn the kids loose with a snorkel and a frisbee only to return when they're hungry. Generations of sea turtles live in the bay. You can swim and take pictures with them all day long. With kayaking, sea shell collecting, swimming, and lounging to be had there isn't any reason to leave the beach house, except to reload on food and drink. The floorplan of the property is ideal for families (if you're ever inside). Peter and Betty go all out to make your stay perfect. This place is your own private sea world filled with sun and beauty. Don't tell your friends.

This is the place to swim with turtles
We had a fantastic time. Walking distance to stores. You will always see turtles in the water. Peter was great and we were able to get a van with the rental. He was helpful in hooking us up with a chef and various tours.

Beautiful view and great beach
The house was nice and roomy. Peter was very helpful and very friendly. He showed us around and gave us recommendations of where to eat and things to do. He was always around or an email away with any questions we had. Beach was beautiful and the turtles were amazing to see. Very nice relaxing vacation. The only issue we had was that the kitchen could use some updating on utensils and pots and pans. Would recommend to others.

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Betty Oxley

Host profile image
We are Betty and Peter & we moved from England to Exuma in 1999 and first established the Coral Gardens B&B Guest House which has been rated #1 every year since 2009 by the worlds largest travelers website. We have enjoyed welcoming guests from all parts of the world but recognised that some people wanted to stay directly on the beach.
After some while of searching we found in 2012 the ideal beachfront location, only a short distance away and named it Sandy Palms in view of the numerous palm and coconut trees in the 1.5 acre garden which surrounds the property.
We have sold Coral Gardens but still live nearby and are on hand to welcome guests on arrival and help them during their stay.

Why they chose this property

Why not stay here on the beautiful white sand of Hoopers Bay Beach which is regarded as the best beach to stay on in Exuma. It is very special, with a quiet but convenient location and a wonderful unspoiled beach to relax or enjoy as you wish. You can also enjoy swimming with turtles which live in the sea at Hoopers Bay.
Getting to George Town, Exuma (airport code is GGT) is straightforward with daily direct flights by both American, JetBlue & Delta & weekly with Air Canada from Toronto in the winter months. There are daily flights from Nassau on Bahamasair or Western Air.
We organise the short taxi ride from the airport where you will be greeted by our dedicated driver and either Peter or Betty will personally welcome you on arrival at Sandy Palms and show you around and be available to explain local facilities and activities.

What makes this property unique

Hoopers bay is the most protected beach on Exuma as it is sheltered from the prevailing winds. The 1/2 mile ( 1 kilometer) long, soft white sandy beach slopes gently into the calm sea. Guests can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, kayaking or finding some of the green turtles to feed, all from the beach by Sandy Palms.
Some of the advantages of staying at sandypalmsbahamas are:-
--Direct "on the beach" position on the best part of Hoopers Bay.
--Peaceful location and our property sits on its own 1.5 acre tropical garden.
--Only 12 minutes from the international airport, less than a minute from a good range of local shops, and 5 minutes from a number of restaurants as well as George Town, the capital.
--FREE kayaks for our guests to explore Hoopers Bay or offshore cays.
--FREE pickup for the private transfer to the swimming pigs boat tours.
