About this property

Villa Esencia, 4 Luxurious bedrooms each w/private bath, Tropic of Cancer, Exuma

Nestled along the breathtaking shores of Tropic of Cancer Beach, this extraordinary beachfront retreat offers an elevated island experience on one of the Bahamas’ most spectacular coastlines. Set on the quiet east end side of a mile-long stretch of powder-soft white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, the villa combines contemporary luxury with the relaxed beauty of Exuma living.

Designed to embrace the natural surroundings, the home features expansive open living spaces soaring 20-feet ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors that blur the line between indoors and out. Sunlight pours through every room, while panoramic ocean views create a constant sense of serenity.

The villa’s thoughtfully curated interiors balance modern sophistication with effortless comfort. Spacious bedrooms provide private sanctuaries for rest and relaxation, while the gourmet kitchen, elegant dining area, and inviting lounge spaces are ideal for gathering with family and friends. A dedicated workspace offers convenience for guests who may need to stay connected during their stay.
Outside, the experience becomes truly unforgettable. Lounge beside the sparkling pool, unwind on the sun terrace with a morning coffee, or step directly onto the pristine beach where calm, shallow waters invite endless swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, and long walks along the shore. As the day winds down, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant sunset colors, followed by starlit evenings and the soothing sound of the ocean just steps away.

Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape, a romantic getaway, or a luxurious family vacation, this private beachfront sanctuary captures the essence of barefoot elegance in one of the Caribbean’s most idyllic settings.

Bedrooms & Wellness Amenities

Each of Villa Esencia’s four ensuite bedrooms has been thoughtfully curated to provide a luxurious and restorative retreat. Premium TEMPUR® mattresses, cooling memory foam pillows, individual climate controls, and wellness-focused sleep amenities ensure every guest experiences exceptional comfort throughout their stay.

Additional wellness features include massage functionality, customizable LED ambient lighting, and ergonomic support designed to enhance sleep quality and help alleviate snoring, acid reflux, and lower back discomfort. The suite is completed with a luxurious TEMPUR-ProAdapt® 12” Firm Mattress and premium memory foam cooling pillows.

Bedroom 2 — Beach & Pool View

Offering the same breathtaking beach and pool views, Bedroom 2 combines sophisticated comfort with elevated sleep technology. This king ensuite includes a 55-inch TV with Apple TV, central AC with individual thermostat, and an advanced adjustable bed frame with personalized positioning for complete comfort and relaxation.

The host resides nearby and is very knowledgeable and accommodating. They helped us so much upon our late arrival and provided us with food due to stores being closed. The house and beach are exquisite and luxurious. Don’t miss rooftop patio…a special place all around.

We loved this house! It was so nice and clean, and the beach was absolutely gorgeous and so secluded. I would stay here again in a heartbeat! There were several kayaks for my boys to kayak across to the beautiful two little islands across from the house to explore and fish. Valerie was so gracious and helpful and went above and beyond to help us check in after our crazy flight day. Highly highly recommend this property to families or couples !

A superb home

We have stayed in Exuma over 15 times in the past decade or so, and Villa Esencia is a GEM. it is clear that the owners took great care in crafting a solid, well-designed, and thoughtful home. The ceilings themselves and light-infused living room is gorgeous. Each bedroom has an en suite. Mattresses and pillows are top notch, and the induction cooktop is awesome! Valerie and Pierre are SO kind, and communicated exceedingly well. We look forward to our return to Villa Esencia.

This wasn’t our first trip to Exuma and we were excited to return. About 2 weeks prior to our stay, we were informed by the owner that the beach was no longer accessible from the property. She offered a full refund but also suggested that we could access the beach 50’ away from her property next door. We decided to make it work but stressed that pool and beach access were top priorities for us. We arrived to find out that the beach wasn’t accessible from her property either and the closest beach access was over 1/4 mile away. That is problem number 1 which was huge but wait there’s more. The owner came over without warning regularly. When she came over it was never pleasant. She came over one time and complained to my guest that someone spilled something on the pool deck. It was actually seagul poop which we pointed out and she changed her attitude quickly. Of all the options to stay in exuma this one is incredibly overpriced and the host is difficult and unpleasant to deal with. There were more issues but I am ready to put my experience at, villa esencia behind us.

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Dec, 2025
We’re sorry to hear that the guests felt their stay did not fully meet expectations. We’d like to provide some factual clarification for future guests. Approximately three weeks prior to arrival, we informed the guests of temporary changes in beach conditions due to seasonal trade winds and shared detailed photos and videos so they could fully assess the situation. At that time, we also confirmed that alternative properties were available and offered the option to cancel the reservation without penalty. We outlined three available options for water access: 1. Direct access from Villa Esencia via the stairs to the shoreline, where a sand and pebble mix was present, 2. Access to a neighboring beachfront property approximately 100 feet west, offering a fully sandy beach, and 3. Access to a sandy cove approximately 500 feet east. These distances can be easily verified using public maps. After reviewing the photos and videos provided, the guests chose to proceed with the stay. During the visit, the property manager stopped by briefly on a limited number of occasions to ensure the pool and grounds were in good condition. These visits were not intended to intrude, and no accusations were made toward guests. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly and professionally. After departure, concerns were raised primarily regarding beach conditions that had been disclosed in advance. As a goodwill gesture, we offered a partial refund equivalent to one night of the stay, which was declined. We are committed to transparency, respectful communication, and providing a high-quality experience. Villa Esencia remains a premium property priced consistently with its amenities, location, and level of service, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify these points for future guests.
