Sundowner house, beach front, one of the best views on the island. Sleeps 6.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Sundowner House for the week of New Year's 2016 and it was absolutely perfect for our family group. The house was wonderful in every way. It was even better than depicted in the pictures. Every room had a magnificent view of the water. The house was fully equipped and contained many little extras that made it feel like you were at home. Dealing with the property manager, Jenny, was a pleasure. The booking process was easy and Jenny was very helpful.

The Hooper's Bay beach was magnificent. The house is at the west end of the beach. You can get some shade on the beach if you want it and there was some decent snorkelling along the rocky shoreline west of the house. Our daily routine involved walking down the beach to the docks and swimming with the friendly turtles (pure bliss!). Half-way down the beach, someone had anchored a climbing iceberg in the water that the kids enjoyed climbing and sliding down. The beach was never busy and was peaceful and relatively calm even on breezy days.

We rented a van and toured the island. We saw many amazing places, but came to the conclusion that we could not have picked a more central and perfect place to stay on the island. Unless you wanted to tour the island, you could likely get away without a car. There is a well-stocked deli and convenience store practically across the road, Jolly Hall Beach is also within walking distance and several restaurants and Georgetown (where you take the ferry to Stocking Island) would be a short cab ride away.

We're dreaming of the day we can go back to this delightful place!

I just came back from sundowner house and I wish I was there again, 8 days was to short to enjoy the beach.I chose hoopers bay because I'm very picky when it comes to beaches and when I saw the the pictures in Vrbo of Sundowner house I fell in love. The house look exactly like the pictures, the whole time I was there it felt like home. The house is not fancy but has everything you need and is seating in one of the most beautiful beach in the world.The house was not to far from the airport (15 min) the taxi ride cost $20 and George Town is only few minutes away we didn't rent a car because we took taxi's everywhere( cheaper then renting a car) unless you want to explore the island.The house did come with some thinks but we had to buy laundry detergent and garbage bags( no big deal) the only complaint I have will be the internet in the 8 days we were there it only work total for 30 minutes oh well I was on vacation( smile) Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful house! The people in Exuma are wonderful friendly people!!

My husband and I, along with our two children and parents stayed at the Sundowner for a week at the end of March 2014.

Prior to arriving Jenny was extremely helpful providing any information we requested, picking up some groceries as the grocery store closed prior to our arrival, as well as bringing some beach toys to the house for the kids.

We travelled to both ends of the island seeing many rentals as well as several resorts but the consensus was that the Sundowner was the place we would choose.

The house was on the beach making it easy to allow the kids to play on the beach within view. It was such a quiet bay we were typically the only ones on the beach. We saw stingrays, turtles, jellyfish, starfish and many, many beautiful shells all without leaving our beach.

Having a car for the week was also very helpful to explore the island as well as run into town. The house was close to Georgetown making it easy to run into town for groceries or our many trips to the straw market.

This house is definitely the place to be if you want to relax in a quiet and beautiful setting.

We would definitely make a return trip here!

Our three generation family, including a 2 year old, stayed at the Sundowner House for the month of February 2014. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The house was exactly what we wanted. I felt the house was as described and what we expected from the pictures provided. The proximity to gorgeous, almost deserted beachfront made our stay perfect.

Since we cooked in nearly every meal, we appreciated that the kitchen was large, with plenty of counter, cabinet, and refrigerator space. The bedrooms and living areas were spacious, and access to the full length deck by sliding doors from every room helped us feel closer to the sunshine and water day and night.

Our rental car enabled us to explore Great Exuma and Little Exuma from one end to the other, and to grocery shop in George Town where the larger food store is located. I recommend a car in order to fully experience a stay on Great Exuma. We didn’t find a single location on the island that we would have preferred over Hooper’s Bay.

It is true as a previous reviewer noted that some fixtures are outdated. This did not interfere with our pure delight with the Sundowner House in the least. There are plenty of fancier houses available on the island. We came for the spectacular clear blue water, perfect weather, and the laid back and very friendly island atmosphere. We were satisfied in every way.

We are also grateful to Jenny, the local house manager, for prompt and helpful communications throughout the months of making arrangements for the rental. We arrived on Great Exuma on a dark and rainy night and a warm welcome put us right at ease.

The house is clean, spacious and extremely well located, with an amazing view of Hooper's Bay. The interior furnishings, bathroom fittings and appliances are somewhat worn and dated, however. And there were no basics such as tea, sugar or laundry detergent provided, which was a little surprising.

Contrary to the description provided, there is no Internet connection in the house, which had been a significant factor in us choosing to rent this property. And within minutes of lighting the stove to make dinner on our first evening, the gas supply ran out and wasn't replaced for the entire week. We understand that Exuma is a small island and that everything has to be shipped in, but there were two gas tanks and the reserve tank had also been allowed to run out. Our main concern was that the property manager did not proactively follow up about this, we had to keep calling each day.
