2 Bedroom 2 Bathroom Stilt's House
Stilt's House is cozy two bedrooms, two bathroom beach style home that will make your Bahamas vacation fabulous! Set among a mass of palm trees and lush vegetation this property is private and stunning with 'peek- a -boo' ocean views, yet only an 8-minute drive from Georgetown International airport. A paved road continues to downtown Georgetown which has many delicious restaurants and quaint shops. But don’t expect the hustle and bustle of a big city; Exuma is a quiet island with friendly locals and stunning beaches.
The house has a wraparound balcony that consists of an outdoor dining table, BBQ, and lounge chairs. The shaded veranda is perfect for relaxing and enjoying ocean views. The two bedrooms can sleep four comfortably. One bedroom has a queen bed and the other a double bed. The bedroom with the double bed also features a small brand new (2017) en-suite bathroom with a fully tiled shower. Each bedroom boasts a view of palm trees and has an air conditioning unit and a ceiling fan. Bedrooms are spacious and equipped with new mattresses and linens.
The 900 square-foot house is perfect for a family or couples looking to relax and enjoy the Island of Exuma.
Great Exuma belongs to the chain of Exuma Cays and is the largest in the chain. Georgetown International airport has many direct flights from Toronto, Miami, Atlanta, and Nassau. (Air Canada, Delta, American. Bahamas Air, Sky Bahamas). Exuma has pristine waters, white sandy secluded beaches, and an array of activities both on and off the water. For example golf, snorkelling, fishing, scuba diving, volleyball, tennis, boating, kayaking, spas, etc. There are many boat rental spots or captains for hire that would love to help you explore the clear, calm waters around Exuma. Water taxis are also available to transport you from downtown Georgetown to Stocking Island where you can get fresh conch salad at ‘Chat and Chill’ or enjoy impressive views dining at St. Francis restaurant. Beach volleyball and weekly pig roasts are also a favourite on Stocking Island.
The Stilt's House is a unique property offering space and seclusion but yet so close to many services, attractions, and beautiful secluded beaches!

About Jane Stoller
I always loved the Bahamas, and in 2013 my parents and I took a family vacation to Exuma and fell in love with the Island. The secluded beaches, lovely people, and fantastic atmosphere make for an unforgettable vacation. I purchased Stilt's House and my parents and I spent the months of November and December 2014 renovating - adding two bedrooms and a bathroom with a local contractor.
Jane Stoller purchased this House in 2014
Why Jane Stoller chose Exuma
The Stilt's House was the best choice for myself and my family. It has an ideal location - minutes from Georgetown airport, minutes from downtown, across from the most beautiful secluded beach and a slight ocean view from the dining room. Additionally, the property is home to many palm trees and lush vegetation that makes the house feel tropical, private and provides the ability to grow flowers and eat fresh coconut daily.
What makes this House unique
The unique benefit of this house is the size of the property. You don't feel as if you have any neighbours and although close to the main road the noise is minimal. The ease of landing at Georgetown International airport and being home within a few minutes is the perfect way to start a vacation.

It was absolut pretty nice
The House, the furnishing, the garden, the owners, everything was so great. We enjoyed every second in Stilts House. The house has everything you need for cooking, living, sleeping, to enjoy and also it has towels and a blanket for the beach. It was really clean. Greetings from Germany to Jane and her parents. We will come back.
Convenient location, great value!
Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Silt House. It's only a 5 minute drive from the airport and conveniently located to anything you could want in Exuma. Across the street is a beautiful, quiet beach. The cottage was spotless and outfitted with everything you would need. The host was wonderful and responsive with any questions. This place offers a fantastic value.
Thank you for the wonderful review. I am so happy you enjoyed the house and Exuma! Looking forward to having you back again soon.
Great property! Highly recommend.
Clean, spacious. Exactly as described in the pictures! Opening the doors and letting the breeze in is heavenly and peaceful. Owner was responsive and quick. Centrally located on the island. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
Thanks for the review and looking forward to having you back!
BEST home!! Beautiful and big!
I cannot put into words how amazing my stay was at the stilts house. The house was central to everything and close to the airport. It is on the main road making it easy to find and still quiet! The home itself is cleaner than my own home! So well maintained, I was so amazed. The home was so spacious and for the price it couldn’t be beat! I don’t think I could have found a better place on the island. Jane is so accomadating and the home has everything you need. From towels to food, books games and more. I will be staying at the stilts house every time I stay on the island. The home and Jane exeeded my expectations. Jane provided me with many different places to go and how to get around on the island. She knows this place very well, which made me feel a lot better traveling alone. I still can’t believe how nice the home was and how easy it was to communicate and book. Look no further! This is where you want to stay!! Plus, a large back yard to boot. Your own oasis! Couldn’t be more perfect!
Thank you for the kind review! I am so happy I could help make your Exuma vacation so memorable! And I look forward to having you back.
Amazing place to stay
Amazing vacation in Exuma! The house is perfectly located and only minutes away from downtown Georgetown and the airport. Food and drinks at Chat 'N' Chill Beach Bar & Grill on stocking island as well as a boat tour with captain Antonio are a must for anyone visiting Exuma.
The house was very clean, well equipped, and the large backyard was beautiful for enjoying the outdoors. Jane was a great host and made sure we had everything we needed.
Thanks for the review and agreed Chat and Chill and a day boating are a must for Exuma!
Wonderful Place!
My husband, mom, sister and I stayed in The Stilts House for 8 days. We loved the place and the space it offered the 4 of us. Jane responded to any questions and/or concerns immediately. I never had to wait for a response! The house was in a great location as well. Never too far from anywhere we wanted to go explore. Thank you for such a smooth, worry-free vacation Jane!
Thanks for the review. I am so happy you and your family had a great vacation. Looking forward to having you back soon!
