About this property

Lovely and affordable...close beaches/town/ fishing/360 view, 84 5 star reviews

LOVELY AND REASONABLE...GET AWAY FROM IT ALL ! A very spacious house with 1800 square feet inside plus a large wrap around deck.Breathtaking views of the Atlantic and Caribbean ...Experience Great Exuma from the comfort and privacy of the Hummingbird House and enjoy stunning 360 degree views of the colorful waters of Elizabeth Harbor, Master Harbor, Crab Cay and the south side bone fish flats. We are located only two miles from Moriah Harbour National Sea Park. Soak up the sun and revel in the mild maritime climate of the cays while making this well appointed refuge your own, with space for parties of up to 6 guests. Lush tropical foliage surrounds this centrally located property that offers easy access to the bone fish flats by foot but there is no beach there per se ; take a 10 minute drive to Georgetown or to access 6 beaches. Or stay in and enjoy the unique open floor plan of the upper floor: a fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining room areas , and 2 covered, elevated decks connected by a walk around deck space. The upper floor also contains a single bedroom and half bath as well as a day bed in the living room that sleeps 1 guest. Downstairs you’ll find spacious king and queen bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, and the house laundry room. Wake up to the tranquil sounds of hummingbirds and bananaquits that frequent the tropical gardens surrounding the house.

The house is located 20 minutes or less( BY CAR )from the beautiful southern beaches, including Hooper's Bay, Jolly Hall, Stocking Island, Forbes Hill and the world famous Tropic of Cancer (voted among the top ten beaches of the world by “Island Living” magazine) and Pretty Molly Bay Beach. The bonefish flats, known for world-class fishing, are a ten minute walk away...wade into bonefish and do your own thing and the Moriah Harbour Cay National Park is minutes away by car. These waters are fabulous for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling and other water sports. Please note we are off the beaten path and Exuma roads are not great. We use a small Honda but you may want to consider an SUV.

The private location of this house provides the perfect getaway for those seeking peace and tranquility despite being close to several restaurants and the amenities of the quaint town of George Town. Whether you enjoy relaxing, golfing, bird watching, beach combing, fishing, water sports or night life, the Hummingbird House is your home away from home for enjoying all the cays have to offer. As you can see from the reviews folks love our house and location. Please contact us if we can provide more information and ask about stays for longer than one month.

**We do have a well that is treated with chlorine but the quality of the water in the Exuma aquifer can vary with storms and run off so we do not drink the water. We suggest drinking only bottled water on the island . There is a 5 gallon water jug in the pantry if you would like to use . The water refill store, Naturally Fresh , is located about a mile north of the house before Cheaters Restaurant and it is $4 for 5 gallons which is a reasonable way to go.

We do offer a discount for stays 30 days or longer. Please ask for more information. GUESTS MUST BE 25 OLD UNLESS WITH PARENTS. We do not refund due to hurricanes but guests can use their credit for a future stay. We encourage travel insurance during the storm months.

Our house is very private. We use an enhanced cleaning and sanitizing protocol. We have excellent WIFI and food delivery can be arranged...sequester in paradise if you like.

We are required by law to include a 10 percent VAT tax to the Bahamas Gov which is included in your fees/payment.We can provide our TIN number .

About the host

Host profile image
We started coming to Exuma six years ago to help veterinarians with free neuter and spay clinics for cats and dogs. We fell in love with this beautiful island and its people immediately. We have been all over the Caribbean and Bahamas and have never seen water quite as beautiful as it is around the Exuma Cays. We are all animal lovers and like the fact that there is an ongoing effort to try to help the animals of this island. We live in a cold climate and this is the perfect warm getaway for us.

Why they chose this property

We love this house because it is so private but yet is close to town, beaches, fishing and several excellent restaurants. The view is absolutely breathtaking, the colors of the waters are stunning and the tropical flowering gardens provide a natural habitat for many types of birds. It is the perfect getaway any time of year. The summers are a little warmer but still very nice. We are off the beaten path but you can walk to the bonefish flats for great fishing of all kinds , kayaking , paddle boarding and snorkeling . We are close to the 6 best beaches on the island ... 10 to 20 mins away by car.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the view from this house. We have been told by locals that it is one of the best views on the Island. In the morning one can watch the sun come up with a cup of coffee and in the evening there are glorious sunsets. Also, because of the location on the ridge, there is always a cool ocean breeze.We love the location...private , close to town and beaches. Everyday is an adventure on Exuma, whether it is discovering a new beach, fishing the flats or talking to folks from all over the world who love the sailing that the Exuma Cays provide.
