We loved our stay at this property with all the bedrooms & each having their own bathroom! The beach was very private & the most beautiful beach I have ever seen! The views were amazing from the deck. The owners were very responsive & nice. It was so helpful that Mary sent us so much info on the island before we ever arrived. We enjoyed our trip very much!

Amazing location!

We had a wonderful time. The views are spectacular and having our own private beach was a highlight. The house was perfect for the nine of us. Overall, a perfect location if you want a relaxing vacation. We also enjoyed heading to Tim’s for lunch and also just hanging out at the pool with a “few” beverages!

Family vacation

Our extended family of 9 had a wonderful time at One tar bay. The location and views are best. Plenty of room for everyone. The owners were such a big help with finding activities with last minute cancellations. The pool/beach/deck area was terrific especially for those who needed shade. Great vacation.

This is a great property located centrally on the island making all the amenities very close. The property itself is gorgeous with unbelievable views, great decks and lovely pool. The beach access is right there. The owners are very gracious and will do everything they can to improve and support your stay. We were there for 12 days and there wasn't a single day where we weren't doing something really fun. The house has lots of beach accessories so you don't need to bring any. Exuma is beautiful and this is a great place to experience it.

Amazing week in paradise!

Exuma is breathtaking, and we loved being able to call this space home for the week! Great location, amazing views, and all the amenities we needed. Owners were very responsive to questions leading up to the trip and even allowed us to change our rental dates when plans changed. Cleo, the property manager, was also great and so helpful with local recommendations during our trip. Great place to stay!!

Gorgeous views, great for families

The views from the house are amazing. Owner was very attentive throughout the booking and during our stay (although we didn't need anything during our stay). House is perfect for families, beach access, pool, plenty of toys, games, equipment, etc. We loved it, traveled with party of 8 including 3 teens.

Great property

The house was perfect for our family. The downstairs apartment gave our twenty-somethings space to themselves and somewhere to stay up late without bothering the rest of us. Everyone having their own bathrooms was FANTASTIC! The views were beautiful and the pool and beach access made it the absolute perfect vacation home!

Excellent property Due to storms/flooding prior to arrival it damaged beach area in front of house/property. Overall great place to stay. Was a nice and relaxing vacation. On site property manager was very helpful in organizing activities. She also cooked a dinner which was fantastic. Would recommend staying here.

Shawn, Thank you for your review. In January 2023 ocean surges caused much damage to the beaches of Tar Bay and Jimmy Hill. We have been waiting 6 months for a part for the barge to repair these damages and they are being repaired as we write this. We hope you will come back and enjoy the improved beach access from One Tar Bay.

Amazing Home and Hosts

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property. From our first contact at booking to our check-out, Mark, Mary and Cleo were wonderful. We can’t recommend this property highly enough. The location is perfect, the indoor and outdoor spaces great for a group, the kitchen well stocked and everything is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Mark and Mary are a great resource for things to do and see on the island. Thank you for a wonderful stay…our group of 10 will be back!

Wonderful week!

We had a wonderful week in this property, it was perfect for our two families. The kids enjoyed the pool and we walked the basically empty beach daily. Cleo was very helpful at check-in and responsive to any needs. The owners were even kind enough to give us duct tape when needed! The location is central to both sides of the island and we were able to explore it all. Perfect views and a beautiful home!

Great week at One Tar Bay

8 of us stayed here for a week in March to celebrate a 50th birthday. It was fantastic. We were grateful to have the pool because the ocean was very rough and hard to swim in. Mary was extremely responsive to our questions and requests and Cleo was very helpful. The house had everything we needed and was just as expected.

Aquamarine Dreams

Situated right on the water, the views are to die for and the house is located next to one of the best beaches on Great Exuma. The house comfortably fit our group of seven and was located within 10 to 15 minutes drive of shops, restaurants and grocery stores. It is also handy to the airport and some of the better beaches on the island. Would recommend for large groups, as there is a two bedroom apartment on the lower level as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better home for our first trip to Exuma! Everything listed is accurate. The home is clean, perfect location. That view! Doesn’t get better. Cleo is fantastic. Her cooking is delicious and she is very helpful giving you some tips on local restaurants and guides! Thank you Mary and Cleo for a wonderful trip!

Beautiful house, great location

Just got back from a week at One Tar Bay. Was there with 8 other adults. The place is amazing. Everything needed is there. There is a long stretch of beautiful beach where you can walk to Tim's on the water for drinks and food. If you're into exploring, it's also a great location to go to other beaches, which are all incredible, and a short ride to town, groceries and the airport. If you just want to relax you have the deck and pool right there along the ocean. The owners are very thoughtful and had the property manager greet us and make sure we had everything we needed. They provided a fantastic detailed guide of what to do, where to go, what to bring, etc. which was very helpful. Overall, an amazing place to stay and island to visit.

Infinity Pool, Location, and great spot for a friends vacation

Accommodating hosts that sent great recommendations before our trip, grocery shopped before we arrived, and were flexible with our dates and check-out time. We loved all that the house had to offer- beach chairs, coolers, snorkeling gear, etc. The pool and deck layout can’t be beat. We explored the whole island and loved being centrally located- don’t miss Shoreline, Hooper’s Beach, Cocoplum beach and bistro, pig/iguana tour, Tropics of Cancer beach and Santanas. Gotta recommend Shirley’s and karoake on Friday night at Mark’s. Our boat rental fell through and Graeme helped us easily secure an amazing boat for our group of 10. We loved the separate bedrooms and bathrooms and many outdoor spaces to enjoy the sun and stars for our group of 3 families.

Wonderful escape!

We had a wonderful stay at One Tar Bay. Mary and Cleo were wonderful hosts. We arrived early and were able to arrange a drop off of our luggage before the scheduled check in. Everything was set up as requested and Mary was very transparent that the internet was out due to a down pole the night prior and that they were fixing it (it came back on a few days later in spite of the weekend). Plenty of space, all the utensils and kitchen items. Pool toys and beach towels. Lots of great books and games (we gifted our puzzle that we brought along). We look forward to coming back in the future! Thank you for a fabulous escape in the Exumas!
