About this property

Ultimate Outdoor Living, In the Heart of the Action, High above it all

Giant vacation house with a total of 7 BR and 7 BA. Our 10,000 SF house is triple the size of most rental houses on Exuma. The Prime Minister stays at this house every April.

The oversized pool/hot tub/deck/cabana/100” outdoor movie theater are bigger and better than most Caribbean hotels. Experience seamless indoor-outdoor living with shaded lounges, open-air kitchen, secluded outdoor showers, island Tiki Sky Bar, and dining areas under the stars. All with exceptional panoramic views of the ocean. It is the most outstanding outdoor living space on the island.

Located at the apex of a hill above the Hotel Zone. Walk to three restaurants/beach bars at the base of the driveway as well as The Fish Fry. Walk to incredibly calm and beautiful Jolly Hall Beach. Walk to a private dock where you can board your boat, join an excursion, or catch the shuttle boat en route to Stocking Island and it’s five beach clubs including Da Sand Bar. Short drive to groceries and boat rental. LOCATION. IS. EVERYTHING. ON. EXUMA.

• Summit Exuma guests enjoy complimentary shuttle boat service to the Peace and Plenty Beach Club on Stocking Island. Enjoy food, drinks, paddleboards, water swing, and snorkeling gear. The shallow water is perfect for lounging. From here walk to the iconic Chat n Chill, Baymoni Beach Club, or hike to the windward beach. Take the boat shuttle from Peace and Plenty Hotel, in Georgetown (1 mile south)

• For guests arriving in Exuma by personal boat, we have convenient nearby docking options.


THE HOUSE - Summit Exuma is no ordinary vacation house — it is a true island estate, where soaring 28’ ceilings evoke a sense of grandeur and opulence. Private 500-foot driveway secured by an iron gate. Inside, the estate features a gourmet kitchen with commercial ice maker, a fully equipped private fitness center, and even a self-playing Grand Piano. The craftsmanship and finishes throughout are unparalleled anywhere on the island.

THE LOCATION of your vacation home on Exuma is extremely important to the enjoyment of your trip. When your whole vacation is within 5 minutes of the house, your vacation explodes with choices. Unlike most rental homes that have no walkable restaurants or boat lift and require very long drives down the winding two-lane road just to get to a grocery store or rental boat, Summit Exuma is set in the island’s most coveted area atop the hotel district just outside Georgetown.

• Three restaurants/bars down the hill, at the base of the driveway.
• The popular Fish Fry, home to 12 authentic Bahamian bars and restaurants including Shirley’s is a 1/4-mile to the right/south.
• The ultra-protected and calm water Jolly Hall Beach is 300 yards to the north. Think of the perfect beach... this is it.
• Quick taxi ride into George Town to hit the grocery store, straw market, Minn's Water Sports (boat rental), several more restaurants, boat shuttles to Stocking Island etc...
• Stocking Island/Elizabeth Harbor is where most of the boating, sandbars, beach bars, and snorkeling on Exuma happens. This is where you want to be. (Summit guests can walk to a private dock and catch a prearranged shuttle boat en route to Stocking Island.)

Summit Exuma allows effortless exploration: from dining to boating to nightlife, your entire vacation is within minutes.


THE BEACH: Your Private Path to Paradise

Summit Exuma is just a short stroll from Jolly Hall Beach — widely regarded as the best calm-water swimming beach on Great Exuma.

• Accessed via a discreet path, this pristine beach remains untouched by commercial development. As with all beaches in the Bahamas, it is public, but its hidden entrance and low profile keep it serene and uncrowded.
• Protected by surrounding islands and natural shoals, Jolly Hall Beach offers a half-mile stretch of tranquil shoreline, making it an ideal destination for swimming, relaxing, and savoring the beauty of Exuma as it was 50 years ago — and likely will be for generations to come.

While many vacation homes on Exuma showcase photos of idyllic, calm waters, the reality is that much of the island’s coastline experiences rough surf two-thirds of the time. Selecting a location with reliably calm waters is paramount, the best being Jolly Hall. Located down the hill and left 300 yards.

AMENITIES
• Beach chairs, coolers, water floats, snorkel equipment, beach wagon, and lots of beach towels.

A TRADITION OF LEGENDARY EXUMA HOSPITALITY

Enjoy SKY DECK and SKY BAR to the max:
• While soaking in the hot tub, count stars and mast top lights of the 300 boats anchored off the Stocking Island.
• Sit with family and friends at the Sky Bar overlooking all of Elizabeth Harbor and Stocking Island.
• Watch your favorite movie or ball game while floating on a raft in our heated 1,100SF pool.

As the principal owners of The Peace and Plenty Hotel, we have been hosting on Exuma for over 20 years. We have mastered the art of showing people a good time while visiting this island. Our prime location is close to restaurants, bars, and boats heading out onto Elizabeth Harbor unlocks an incredible vacation.

-Rent a boat at Minn's and go explore. Experience the enjoyment of boating from island to island in some of the most beautiful waters in the world.

-Spend your day bouncing between Peace and Plenty Beach Club, Chat N Chill, and Baymoni Beach Club snorkeling reefs, sand bars, and swimming with the sting rays. Walk to the monument or explore the 2-mile windward “wild ocean” beach on the other side of Stocking Island. A great natural adventure for the whole family.

About the host

Hosted by Jill and Steve Harrington

Host profile image
As the principal owners of The Peace and Plenty Hotel, The Cottages and the Peace and Plenty Beach Club, we have spent over two decades perfecting the art of hospitality on the pristine shores of Exuma. Our prime location—close to restaurants, bars, and boats heading out onto Elizabeth Harbour— offers the perfect gateway to paradise.

Summit Exuma guests enjoy complimentary shuttle boat service to the Peace and Plenty Beach Club on Stocking Island, with the shuttle departing from the Peace and Plenty Hotel in Georgetown. At the Beach Club, guests have access to snorkel gear, paddle boards, and kayaks upon request (though we do recommend bringing some of your own snorkel equipment if possible).

Why they chose this property

Perched atop one of the highest points on the island, Summit Exuma is in the very heart of Exuma. This premier location is just minutes from nearby grocery stores, fuel, the straw market, and the famous Fish Fry.

300 yards from Summit Exuma lies one of Great Exuma’s most pristine, calm-water beaches — an untouched stretch of paradise perfect for swimming and relaxing.

At the foot of our hill, you'll find three of the island’s best restaurants. Stroll down to enjoy waterfront dining at Latitudes at Exuma Beach Resort, vibrant island flavors at Frankie Bananas at Augusta Bay, and casual coastal fare at Splash at Hideaways Resort.

What makes this property unique

The panoramic views of Stocking Island and Elizabeth Harbour from all three levels of Summit Exuma are truly breathtaking. While many rental homes may offer a glimpse of the ocean, few can match the sweeping, commanding vistas of the entire six-mile stretch of Elizabeth Harbour that Summit Exuma proudly delivers. Here, every sunrise, every sparkling tide, and every sunset feels like a private spectacle reserved just for you.

While no-see-ums are a common nuisance throughout the Caribbean and across Exuma, Summit Exuma’s elevated position offers a natural advantage — virtually eliminating these pests. At certain times of the year, you may experience a few no-see-ums for about 30 minutes around dawn and dusk, but overall, the difference is remarkable. We still recommend bringing bug repellent for your island adventures beyond Summit.

A common complaint among Exuma visitors is the long drive and often rugged road to reach their vacation home — Summit Exuma offers a distinct advantage: our property is accessed directly from the island’s smooth, paved main road, ensuring a seamless, stress-free arrival and departure. No popped tires!
