Stunning Waterfront and Tiki Bar - Paradise Found Villa- HGTV Bahamas Life!

Welcome to our beautiful Paradise Found Villa located on the island of Great Exuma, Bahamas. The location of this villa provides magnificent views of Elizabeth Harbor, Stocking Island, Hooper's Bay, Jolly Hall and offshore cays right out your front door. Water and beach views from the patio, dining room, living room and master bedroom.

Paradise Found is perfect for couples, friends or a family wanting extra space with three bedrooms and two and half bathrooms. The villa has many extras including, a full kitchen, internet, 3-flat screen TV's, DVD player with movie library, board games, books, gas grill, private mooring ball and beach accessories that include 3- kayaks, paddle board, ice chest and water toys. Our villa has over 1800 sq. ft. of outdoor living space with an enclosed screened patio, tiki bar, outdoor shower and a large waterfront deck where you can sunbathe or enjoy the sounds of the surf mere steps away. It's always Happy Hour here with the addition of the TIKI BAR. Paradise Found is equipped with amenities to ensure you have the comforts of home and much more on your holiday.

We are steps from the pristine clear blue waters of Elizabeth Harbor and Jolly Hall. You can swim, fish and find great snorkeling right in front of Paradise Found Villa. Enjoy the spectacular views while you sit on the patio or in the sandy sunbathing area. From here you can watch for the occasional dolphin, sea turtle, stingray swim by or any one of the numerous seabirds fly overhead. A 1/2 mile walk or short drive from the villa you will find a stunning secluded beach at Jolly Hall and also a short drive is Hooper's Bay beach. Swim in the turquoise waters, sunbathe on the white sand beach, find starfish and sand dollars right offshore. At Hooper's Bay you can snorkel and see many sea turtles.

You will find many offshore cays to explore by renting your own boat or by taking a tour. There is great bone fishing, kayak tours of Moriah Harbor National Park or take an exciting tour up the cays to see the swimming pigs. You will discover why Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp chose to film and buy a home on these pristine cays.

Come experience the beauty of Great Exuma and the serenity of Paradise Found Villa.

Beautiful stay in Exumas
Paradise Found was a perfect location for our family for the week. The location is central to the airport and George Town. The place is perfectly described and is clean and more spacious inside than the pictures make it seem. The outdoor patio area is beautiful with several areas to sit and play for the kids. It was perfect for our family.

Fabulous….nothing else to say!
Rachel and Ed were very easy to communicate with and along with Cleo and her crew, we were well taken care of. The house is just like the listing - only better! The view is spectacular. I’d like to keep it a secret so that we could always have a home away from home. Thank you all.

Amazing vacation!!
Paradise Found is a wonderful home just north of Georgetown that has the most beautiful water right outside the door. We found this house was perfect in everyway. If you never wanted to leave home, you had floats and kayaks to explore. The snorkeling from just walking into the water was amazing. This house is in a perfect location to drive and explore the island in either direction, north or south. Exuma is a beautiful island. We will definitely be planning another trip here.

Fabulous place!
This was our families 2nd trip to Exuma and we had another fabulous vacation! Once you open the door to this amazing property, you'll know you have "found paradise"! The home is spacious, well laid out, and comfortable. The patio and deck area was our favorite place to hang out. We couldn't get enough of the gorgeous view out front, especially the shades of blue Caribbean water! Be sure to get up early to take in the sunrises...they are breathtaking. It was fun to watch the sailboats and barges come in and out of the area. We snorkeled out front and to the left of the property. Since our flight was coming in late, we asked Cleo to get a few groceries to have there upon arrival. She and her gals are great! Rented a van for the 5 of us from Sure to Shore, they were awesome to work with. We drove to different beaches each day: Jolly Hall, Coco Plum, Exuma Point. Our favorite beach was Tropic of Cancer. It was super windy the day we were there, but fun to play in the huge waves. We had conch fritters and pina coladas from the beach bar. Yum! We did the full day Staniel Cay/Pigs excursion with Exuma Watersports. Definitely a highlight again! We grocery shopped at Exuma Markets and Smitty's and made most meals at the house. It is expensive to eat out (3 sushi rolls and 2 rounds of drinks 195). Chat 'N Chill was super disappointing. Conch bar was closed, lines were long, employees were rude and food was gross expensive. Next time, we'll try the Cocount Club.

Wonderful family vacation home. Beautiful views, central location to beaches, restaurants, boat rentals and groceries. Villa is perfect for a family. Grandson enjoyed the large sandbox giving relaxation to mom and dad at the end of a beach day. Island is so family friendly. Paradise Found truly is paradise.

We FOUND PARADISE!
Rachel & Ed are excellent hosts. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and great location close to beautiful beaches and the airport. We also greatly appreciated the cold AC in every room! Honestly the house has everything you need, including all the kitchen/grill things you’ll need for a dinner at home, kayaks, snorkel equipment, small private beach, loungers and plenty of beach towels. The hosts were very communicative before our arrival and provided us with all the recommendations for restaurants, private chefs, photographers, etc. You won’t regret staying at Paradise Found Villa!

We had a great stay at Paradise Found. Rachel was great to work with. House is exactly as described. Super clean and well stocked. The outdoor area is great for lounging day and night. Access to the water was a huge plus for cooling off plunge. There’s a beach just to your left about a five min kayak ride as well. Would definitely come back with a group.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

After traveling in the Caribbean for several years, in 2006 we came across the peaceful and beautiful islands of the Exumas. Our family fell in love with the people and natural scenery of this Bahamian island and we have returning almost exclusively ever since. In 2017 we decided to make Exuma our permanent home away from home and purchased "Paradise Found". This secluded villa is nestled on 2.5 acres of coastline property and has spectacular views of Exuma's Elizabeth Harbor and Stocking Island. Our extended family enjoys the peaceful surroundings and we hope you do as well.

What makes this property unique

The home sits on 2 1/2 acres and has spectacular views of Elizabeth Harbor and Stocking Island from inside the home, on the large outdoor patio, and sandy lounging area. Walk down to the water and jump right in. It has a sandy bottom, and steps down to the water. Lounge and watch the sea life swim and the island birds fly by. Enjoy the early morning sunrise over Stocking Island while you enjoy your first cup of morning coffee or tea. Enjoy evenings of fun and relaxation at the villa Tiki Bar. It's said to be one of the best on the island. :)
