Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Exuma

My friends and I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Ingrid’s beautiful Airbnb in Georgetown, Exuma over the weekend, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we could tell we had chosen the perfect place. Ingrid’s home was not only spotlessly clean, but also fully equipped with everything we could possibly need — it honestly felt like a home away from home and so peaceful. Every little detail was thoughtfully arranged to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The location could not have been more perfect. We were just minutes from the airport, which made arriving and departing incredibly convenient, and we were right near the Regatta site, which was a huge plus since we spent a lot of time there enjoying the festivities. Being so close to everything made our weekend stress-free and allowed us to make the most out of every moment.

If you’ve never been to the Bahamas—especially Exuma—you’re in for something special. We stayed at Monkey Sea, Unit 2, and it was perfect. The house was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and the kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy to cook after long beach days. We had a brief power outage (common on the island), but the hosts were prepared with rechargeable lights. Big bonus: the kitchen has filtered water, so no need to buy bottles all week! One of the highlights of our trip was meeting Alicia—she took us to incredible local spots we’d never have found on our own. Her tips made our experience unforgettable. Don’t forget to ask Robert for recommendations—he’s full of great suggestions! Another great tip: rinse off at the outdoor shower to avoid sand fleas. Monkey Sea’s fair pricing, central location, and amazing hosts made this stay unbeatable. We’ll absolutely return—highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic! Just what we were looking for. Situated perfectly on top of a hill, overlooking the ocean, the views were unbelievable. We stayed 8 nights with our two adult children and their partners. Stephen’s house was perfect, giving everyone private space yet with a large communal area; kitchen, living room, and patio for coming together for meals and card games. Although it’s described as “off the grid” we lacked for nothing. Hot tub, pool, full laundry, a/c, a well managed house. We were more aware of our environment footprint, yet we lacked for nothing nor did we go without. We lived just like we were at home. Even with the remote house location there were two perfect rustic beach shacks within 10 minute walks along the beach. We had great food and drink service at both. Finally the beach, over a mile of unspoiled paradise. Shallow clear waters, beautiful colors, insanely peaceful. Absolutely no crowds. At most we saw maybe 30 people on the busiest day.

Wow, this place is absolutely stunning! Nestled right on the beach with its own private pool, this house is a true gem. We had a group of nine, and everyone had their own spacious and comfortable room, making us feel right at home. I highly recommend sticking to the host’s recommendations. We tried a restaurant that wasn’t recommended, and it was quite a hassle to get there and out of the way. One thing to note is that the ocean can be a bit rocky, so make sure to bring water shoes. But don’t worry, a pair of flip-flops will suffice just fine. Overall, this place was incredible! I can’t wait to come back. Oh, and Martin was incredibly responsive. We needed a pack and play and paper towels, and they were delivered within 30 minutes.

This house is even nicer than it looks in pictures. The rooms are huge, and the views are AMAZING! We were so pleasantly suprised. Robert was out of town during our stay, but Cameron was so helpful and Robert still kept in touch throughout our stay. There were a couple of issues that came up, but Cameron and Robert took care of them immediately. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Dave is a great host and Kestrel Cottage is the perfect spot to get away and relax for a few days. Just about everything is perfect. My only request: a cookie sheet would be great :) Other than that, the place is well located and has everything you need. Dave answers quickly and makes staying there easy. We'll be back!

This was our second time staying here, we love it!! Quiet area, great view and convenient location if you want to adventure north or south.

we had a fabulous time staying. The house was new construction and very nice. The location was perfect for my wife and I. We will be coming back to staying here again. Shenifer was very responsive with anything we needed.

I only slept one night Anyway well

Khrazia was amazing. She allowed us to check in after 7am even though check in was at 3 pm . The place was really clean and AC was on when we got in. It was extremely easy to access the keypad. Nice clean towels were on the bed and when we walked in the place smelled amazing. It was a pleasure to stay there . She was also very responsive. Perfect for a weekend getaway and very close to town. That’s what we loved .

Sheila’s “Lower Deck Apartment” was a perfect jump off spot for our active family of four. Although not within practical walking distance from the beach or amenities, everything was a short drive away. Groceries, restaurants, beaches, boat rentals, etc. were nearby. You will need a rental car if you stay here, or get really good at arranging taxis. We couldn’t find snorkeling gear to rent, so we bought some where Sheila recommended and donated it to the house. The apartment is peaceful and pretty with just enough of the basics to cook most anything. The beds are plastic coated, which we figured is normal in the tropics. But it does make for noisy shifts in the night. All in all, we would like to return to Sheila’s place should Exuma be a future destination. The island is just wonderful with excellent splashing and snorkeling, and the many locals we interacted with were warm. The general easygoing vibe there affected the whole family.

We really enjoyed our stay! It had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Loved the little beach across from Airbnb and nearby restaurants.

I enjoyed my time at Marisa's Air bnb . It was the same as the photos and she was very helpful with answering my questions and assisting me. I will book again.

Great location and place to stay while visiting Exuma, Very clean and lots of space for the two of us or more. Convenient area to walk to splash bar across the street or to Jolly hall and enjoy the beach. Beach towels/cooler/sunscreen was also available on hand to make the most of our beach days. Clinton was very responsive and accommodating for any needs or questions. I will definitely be booking with Clinton again when returning to Exuma.

The location was perfect! Very own beach area, with SUP and kayaks at our disposal. So peaceful and private, yet not too far from town. The property manager, Lott, was fantastic, and so helpful. We went on excursions most days; rented a boat and toured Elizabeth Harbour; went to every beach we could find...all exquisite and peaceful. Weather for us, couldn't have been any better. Took a day long tour to Staniel Cay which was super fun and filled with lots of cool activities. Touristy but a must see, sort of thing. Looking forward to going back to Exuma.

Theodore was an excellent host, very helpful and accommodating. The place was very clean, quiet and accessible. Exactly as described. Can’t say enough as to how responsive and helpful Theodore was during my stay.

Sandy Beach Cottages had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the beach chairs and umbrellas! It allowed us to spend longer time on the beautiful beaches! Plenty of beach towels and bed linens. House was equipped with everything we needed. Host was quite friendly and very responsive. Only downside was being on the bottom floor. People above us had heavy footsteps. Pictures are a little deceiving in that there are other buildings nearby. However, they didn’t seemed occupied, so parking and beach in front were vacant! Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The studio at Hideaways is perfect for a solo traveler or a couple, it was clean, right across the street from the beach, and had a delicious on site restaurant. I will definitely stay here again next time I’m in Exuma!

It is located in Little Exuma in the area where there is almost nothing. House in the tranquility of Barraterre beautiful and has just been renovated all new . Equipped with everything you need It is built on two floors with 2 bedrooms (one double and one with 2 single beds) each with bathroom A shared bathroom Small but fully equipped kitchen x 4 She also provided us with water and drinks in the fridge. Mirrored Ground Floor. There's a place with a washer dryer and all detergents Outside 4 sun loungers for relaxation. Very windy at night but I don't know if it's the time Jenny(the wife)was always available for anything(she also helped us with excursions)and one morning she cooked us the typical Bahamian breakfast. I'd be back in a hurry! Terrace with a view of thewater

The apartment was everything we could've wished for. We had an amazing time. The location was great, 2 min drive to our favorite now Fish Fry, 5 min drive to downtown. There is a beach within 4 min walk. My husband walked from Hideaways. The apartment was clean, comfortable and provided everything we needed. The washer and dryer were a life saver for us. Tamara and Dallas were very responsive to our inquiries. I had accidentally booked the morning arriving flight instead of afternoon, they had the apartment ready for us to check in early in the morning, and accommodated us with late check-out to match our flight schedule. I hope we could stay here again if we plan another trip.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kelly’s condo being on the second story we could have an amazing view of the sunrise over the water. The condo was way bigger than we thought. It would be with the full kitchen and living room. Kelly was so helpful with all of the directions And suggestions on what to do!

Marina was an absolute wonderful host. She was very responsive, helpful and friendly. I never felt like a burden when reaching out with questions. When we arrived she had even bought a bottle of Chardonnay for my husband and I as we were on our honeymoon. Very thoughtful. The unit was cute and perfect. It was in the back but that just made it that much more private. We would definitely stay here again!

Overall great stay. We stayed in Villa #3 and it was prettier than it looked in the pictures. You can see the beach from living room and has a nice seating area just in front of the door. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Margaret was a great host and addressed few small issues immediately. The ocean was windy with lots of waves during our stay so we couldn't enjoy the beach in front of the villa much but that was our luck. It is very close to the airport but in this island you will almost definitely need a rental car. Also not related to our stay here, but we flew with Bahamas Air and they brought our luggage only the next day and we were told that they do this all the time. Keep this in mind and be prepared if you fly to Exuma with them.

We loved every bit of our stay. The owner was responsive and very friendly. There is a bar/restaurant right in front of it- super convenient, and we met the owner of that restaurant who was also very friendly. It is a popular spot for the locals at night. The home was clean, no complaints. There is AC in both of the bedrooms, which is great, but not in the living room/kitchen. That was not a problem for us with the temperature during April, and able to feel the breeze through the screen at times. The beach is gorgeous and private. It was one of our favorite beaches that we had visited/experienced. We saw starfish, an eagle ray, and lots of fish right off the beach. We stayed at Hoopers Bay at another airbnb right after this stay, and we prefer this spot. Hoopers is nice and very convenient to shops, grocery, and restaurant options. But this spot is mixed in with the locals and the culture. We hope to be back again soon!
