An excellent house for a week getaway

Four of us stayed for a week at Fair Winds. What an excellent house. It had everything we needed to cook meals there, which we enjoy doing. Just a short stroll to the beach and had it mostly to ourselves most days. We rented a car and made our way around the island to see the sights. The owners were helpful with suggestions, always responded quickly, and helped us make sure we had the best time possible.This house is worth a second stay in our future! Thanks Kristen for all you did to help us with the booking and stay.

Great Place

We had a great stay. Nicely decorated, clean, and well organized with plenty of room for our family.Communication was terrific and proactive.The beach was a minute or two walk from the house. We preferred exploring during the day but it was a nice spot to visit in the mornings/evenings.

Fair Winds

This was our first visit to Exuma and Kristen has been great to communicate with from the moment we booked Fair Winds till the moment we left. The house is everything the listing says and more. It’s a home away from home, the decor is perfect, the story of the house is even better. Kristen has thought of everything you could need while on vacation. Perfect location, not far from the airport and central to both sides of the island. You can walk to 2 beaches from the home also. We will definitely be back.

“Perfect Family Getaway in Exuma – Spacious, Comfortable, and Convenient!”

Five-Star ReviewWe had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful home in Exuma! Traveling with our family of four, including two small kids, and my parents, we needed a place that was spacious, comfortable, and family-friendly — this property exceeded all expectations.The home was immaculately clean and well-appointed with everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The layout was perfect, providing plenty of room for everyone to spread out, yet cozy enough for us to gather together. The kitchen was fully stocked, making meal prep easy, and the thoughtful touches throughout the house truly made it feel like a home away from home.The location was ideal, with easy access to Exuma’s stunning beaches, restaurants, and attractions. Whether we were lounging at the house, exploring nearby sites, or enjoying the breathtaking views, we always felt like we were in the perfect spot.The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a seamless stay. We can’t recommend this property enough and hope to return for another family getaway in the future!

Beautiful property

The house & grounds are beautiful & well kept. The size was perfect for our family of 5 to sit, sleep & spread out. Central location to drive around the Island. Beach was very close but waves were bigger here during our stay, but our teenagers did not mind. Owner is very easy to Communicate with.

Great experience overall at the beautifully decorated and cosy spacious house minutes away the bech

Fair Winds is a great house just few minutes away from the beach, thoughtfully decorated, very cosy but spacious at the same time, with plenty of space to host 5 of us, and would accommodate more people if some of them are couples. The house has everything provided to make you feel at home. Kristen, the owner, went well and beyond and was super accommodating and provided with a lot of tips and recommendations and was responding to all of our questions very promptly. Highly recommend this property!

Perfection in Paradise

Our stay at Fair Winds in Exuma was amazing. The house and property are wonderful spaces to relax and enjoy the island life. From short walks down to the beach for incredible sunrises, to sitting on the porch to watch serene sunset, to perfect family meals around the big dining room table, everything was better than we could have hoped for. Kristin was the perfect host and gave us all the local tips on where to eat and what activities not to miss. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Lovely getaway

We spent a great month at Fair Winds. The house is attractive and very comfortable. We headed often to local beaches, did some bonefishing, found fun restaurants, and relaxed on the deck. The owners were very accommodating of our needs and local contact, Keno, helped with household requests and local recommendations. Love that hospitality!

An amazing home away from home in paradise

Thank u so much Kristen for sharing your beautiful home with us. We had everything we needed and more. The house is even better than the pictures. The beach right by the house was so beautiful and we always had it to ourselves. Kristen was always available for any questions and every recommendation she gave us was top notch. We wanted a relaxing vacation to recharge and it was exactly that. I feel in love with Exuma and plan to return and hope to stay at Fair Winds again.

Fabulous house!

Great place for us to stay on Exuma! Kristen was an exemplary host - she went above and beyond to make sure that we had all that we needed (and more) for our stay. House was perfect for our family of six - exactly as advertised. We appreciated havng a well-stocked kitchen as eating out is pricey in Exuma and we made a lot of meals oursevles. Would highly recommend!
