Fantastic. Exceeded our expectations!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beachfront property in Exuma. The house was spotless and incredibly well-maintained, with every amenity we could’ve asked for. The kitchen was fully stocked with quality appliances, and there were plenty of towels for everyone. We especially loved all the water toys—kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear—everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. The location right on the beach was stunning, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend!

Second visit, as magical as the first

Sometimes a second visit somewhere doesn’t live up to the first. Other times it’s just as magical - as was the case with our second visit to Holiday Affair: Perfect location, close to the airport, close to Georgetown, secluded beach, incredible views, that wonderful ocean breeze when you open up the living room doors, reliable internet, and Apple TV (to access your own subscriptions services in the evening). Thank you Nancy for allowing us to stay with you again. We love your home!

Beautiful home right on the crystal blue water

We stayed at Holiday Affair with our two kids who are in college. You definitely need a car if you want to explore the island. But the house is beautiful, well appointed, and on a beautiful beach. We took daily walks, and swam daily. Close enough to Georgetown but also within a drive to grocery stores and the Grand Isle Resort that has a beautiful view and a nice restaurant. Nancy was wonderful leading up to the trip and her caretaker was lovely. We would stay here again.

Wonderful property on a beautiful white sand beach with plenty of space to roam. Kitchen was great to prepare meals in and the deck was very enjoyable for morning and evening relaxation. Wish the water had been a bit calmer but it was close to full moon.

Felt like home

This spot was perfect for hubby and I...I love to cook and the kitchen had EVERYTHING as well as straws, to-go cups, beach towels, sunscreen...the list goes on. We stayed for 8 days and didn't have any real issues with the sand flys/fleas, that was a first, and it was in a great location to the airport and Georgetown.

Perfect for Relaxed Family Vacation

Our family of four (two daughters 17 & 14) had a fabulous week at Holiday Affair. House was clean and had everything you need. Water views are spectacular and from most rooms in the house. Beach is fantastic with white sand and gorgeous water. You basically have the beach all to yourself and it's only steps from the house. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful setting, quiet and very relaxing!! Five stars all around. Basic amenities are provided generously, and a kitchen with all of the appliances anyone would require. Washer/dryer a big plus. The gracious use of the kayak, paddle board, beach tubes, and beach towels another plus!
