About this property

Luxury Home on Pristine Beach

Belle Mer Cottage is private home located on the most beautiful beach on Great Exuma Island. It sits along 2 miles of white sandy beach with views of the protected barrier islands and sailboats gliding into Elizabeth Harbour in Georgetown. Belle Mer is the perfect home to host a romantic retreat or a special family reunion.

Enjoy the gracious open living space with views of the turquoise crystal clear water from every room. The main house with 3000 square feet of living space has large tile floors in all the rooms. It has four king bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. There is a fifth suite over the garage also with its own bathroom. There is also a powder room on the main floor for convenience. The home has comfortable soft seating and colorful local art.

The two ground floor master bedrooms, with cove wood ceilings, flat screen smart televisions, and recessed lighting with dimmers, have king size beds with Tempur-Pedic mattress toppers and large sliding doors with screens that open onto the veranda with breathtaking views of the beach. Each bathroom has dual sinks, large shower and separate toilet room. The upstairs ocean view master bedroom is tastefully decorated with a king size bed, smart flat screen television, and child size daybed. It has a large marble tile bathroom with double sinks and a huge shower with rain head. The upstairs king bedroom has a king size bed with en-suite bathroom boasting double sinks and a shower/tub combination. Like the other master suites, it has a smart flat screen television to watch all your favorite movie channels like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. The fifth bedroom is above the detached double garage, steps from the front door. It has its own bathroom with shower, 2 twin size beds, a flat screen television and VCR. It is the perfect getaway for kids or a couple of adults who are young-at heart! The house has ceiling fans in every room and central air-conditioning when the island breezes are not cool enough. Please note that although the home has bedding for more, we allow a maximum of 10 people at any one time. The additional bedding simply provides more options to meet the sleeping configuration needs of the group.

The large modern kitchen features slab granite countertops, stainless steel appliances with two full size refrigerator/freezers, wine cooler, microwave, dishwasher, drip coffee maker, and new glass cooktop/oven. It is fully equipped for you to prepare and enjoy a snack or a gourmet dinner. A full size washer and dryer are within easy reach off the kitchen. The great room features a ceiling fan and giant windows to capture the sweeping ocean view. The entertainment console has a 58 inch smart HD television capable of accessing your own internet-based accounts (e.g., Netflix and Amazon Prime), Blu-ray, Nintendo Wii, iPod docking station, and WiFi. For old fashion fun we have plenty of board games, puzzles, playing cards, and books to read. Bring additional Wii games or Blu-Ray/DVDs to have even more fun in the evening. The large round wood dining table seats 8 or sit on the 4 bar stools around the kitchen island to enjoy your home cooked meals. We can also refer you to a local Bahamian chef who will prepare a great Bahamian meal right in Belle Mer's kitchen. Although we have never experienced crime on the island, there is a safe provided for peace of mind.

Belle Mer features an outstanding outdoor living space with 700 square feet of covered wrap around veranda and soft outdoor living room seating. A gas grill and large dining table are great for entertaining. Right on the beach, It is the perfect place to watch the billions of stars in the evening sky, listen to the lapping waves on the beach and watch the moon's rising reflection on Belle Mer (beautiful sea).

This beautiful vacation homes offers all the amenities needed for a truly memorable experience. If not relaxing or strolling on the white sandy beach Belle Mer is also equipped with snorkel gear, 2 double sit-on-top sea kayaks, 2 paddle boards, 2 sets of golf clubs, rafts for floating, and children's water toys. All of these are complimentary during your stay. After enjoying the ocean we even have an outside shower next to the veranda. If you need to stay connected during your vacation, you can enjoy our new fiber optic cable high speed internet, phone, and television. We also have a generator to ensure continuous power even during rare island outages.

Also consider renting a Boston Whaler in Georgetown to explore Elizabeth harbor, hire a Bonefish guide, take a water taxi to Stocking Island or charter a boat and captain to visit other surrounding Cays. The home is cleaned to spotless before arrival. Guests staying 10 nights or longer receive a complimentary mid-stay cleaning.

The Sandals Resort (formerly Four Seasons), Greg Norman golf course and Marina can be reached in approximately 20 minutes by taxi or car. A number of grocery stores in Georgetown about 10 minutes away stock all the items you will need for your vacation, but also try the wonderful local restaurants. Our welcome sheet has our favorite restaurants, guides and places to visit for a fun filled vacation. Enjoy!!!

Belle Mer Cottage complies with Bahamian law and pays the required 10% VAT on all rental income. Many other properties skirt this regulation. By staying here, you’re supporting Bahamians. Thank you for helping give back.

It was like a home I’ve always dreamed about. Absolutely gorgeous! So much space in the home….all of the rooms, kitchen, eating areas, bedrooms and bathrooms. I was there with my family of 9, 5 adults and four grandchildren ranging in ages between 7-12. The older two loved having the privacy oh the loft!But what we all loved the most was the spectacular view of the ocean. The kids spent hours in the water every day, using the boogie boards, etc. that were provided. Many sandcastles were made. Food from surrounding restaurants was great…just a wonderful experience !

What a fantastic vacation! Our 3-generation last Spring Break together was unforgettable! Exuma is NOT like other tourist traps with high rise resorts taking all the open space along the coast, and lines of people for everything. Not this lovely place! Think of those dreams you have with your very own beach right outside your door, sleeping to the sound of ocean waves churning with the windows open, and walking down the beach sharing it with no one else in either direction. Yes, this is the place you want to be! Belle Mer has thought of everything you need and more. A garage full of beach toys, blow-ups, (and a pump too!), paddle boards and a even a kayak. My teen girls have NEVER had their very own King bed on vacation instead of sharing squished space in a queen bed. OK, the Masters golf was on TV, but the rest of us sat on the shaded deck and just watched the day go by. Getting up early isn't on teens' agenda but the sunrise's glorious show dominated our camera roll most mornings. We ALL made so many lasting memories that will last a lifetime. We picked the correct place to stay!!!

We had a great stay in this beautiful home. Fantastic location between the airport and Georgetown and right on the water. The house is well equipped and we had more than enough space in the two refrigerators and beverage fridge for our two families with 8 people. Sam (owner) and Norm (property manager) were very responsive to inquiries, which we appreciated. Highly recommend Belle Mer.

We had our family of 10. Ages were 2 to 64. This house met every need (including a portable crib for the 2 year old) and then some. Beautiful home with all the extras included. We did not have to buy rafts for the ocean, they were provided. Snorkel gear, was provided. I cannot think of anything we did not have that we wanted or needed.

About the host

Why they chose this property

The developer went belly-up, however, another developer came in and built the Four Seasons Resort and Greg Norman golf course on this property. We fell in love with the Island and its people. So in 2000 we were able to purchase our lot on Tar Bay, which is the longest sandy beach in Exuma some 2 miles of white sand and aqua crystal clear water. The beach is protected from the Exuma Sound and the Atlantic Ocean by barrier reefs and barrier Cays.

We hired a Nassau architectural firm and drew up three different plans over a 4 year period. Finally, we came up with the perfect plan and built our beautiful beach house taking two years of construction. Building on the island was very arduous and time consuming since everything must be shipped via a container boat from Miami. We also had to deal with customs agents and island natives as builders. All in all it was worth it since we love 'Belle Mer Cottage.' Many of our international neighbors on Exuma consider our home the most beautiful on Tar Bay.

What makes this property unique

The beach house has two identical master suites for the two owners. We also have two additional master suites upstairs and an overflow bedroom above the garage. Each suite has a flat screen TV and king bed with wonderful bedding. The great room has a 58 inch smart HD television capable of accessing your own internet-based accounts (e.g., Netflix and Amazon Prime), Blu-ray, Nintendo Wii, iPod docking station, and WiFi. The kitchen is all stainless steel appliances with dishwasher, double refrigerators/freezers, beverage center, oven range, microwave and all small appliances (e.g., coffee maker). We love to cook and grill at the house since we have what we consider the best view on the island.

Our veranda has large comfortable soft seating with the beautiful white sand and lapping aqua water within 40 feet from the steps. The outside shower is a real treat after spending time in the ocean.

Belle Mer Cottage is only 3 miles from Georgetown International Airport, 4 miles from GeorgeTown with great local restaurants and island bars, and 5 miles from the Sandals Resort with a golf course and casino.
Belle Mer is paradise on the friendliest Island in the Bahamas. Come join us and leave your worries at home. Welcome to Great Exuma!
