Exuma Excellence!

This Fitz is a great studio for couples. This unit is centrally located and very convenient for traveling around the island. The owners have appointed everything you will need for a very comfortable stay.

AMAZING!!!

This property did not disappoint. Very clean studio. Lots of room. Owner left chairs, umbrella and beach toys. There is a 5 minute walk to the beach on a well marked trail. Only downside was a huge banana spider that decided to make its web across the trail. Yikes!! We just ducked under and kept going. There are also quite a few anoles that scurry around the yard and porch area. Delightful to watch. Definitely would rent again.

Great 7 day stay

This Fitz was just as described in the posting. The owners weren't there during our stay so didn't get to meet them but they were very timely for any questions or needs. This was our first time to Exuma and we felt like it was the perfect location to explore the entire island. Felt very private and secluded but directly off the main highway. Perfect for a couple traveling. The beach chairs were much appreciated. We walked the trail out to the beach a couple of times as well and it's maybe a 3 min walk. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect home steps away from the beach

This vacation home was perfect for us. Safe, quiet, cozy, and clean. It was well equipped with all of our needs. Just a short walk through the pathway to the beach. Just keep a lookout for spiderwebs, and you can easily avoid them. Tar bay was one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. You have much peace and quiet there, as well as privacy. We had a warm welcome and was easily accommodated for any of our needs. The location was right in the middle of everywhere we wanted to go. Be sure to rent a car so that you can see everything. We highly recommend this to everyone and hope to be back some day. Thank you Paul and Janet! It was a pleasure to meet you and maybe we will catch you back in nj. Well wishes from Lauren and Dinos!

Really a home away from home

This place was beautiful and relaxing to say the least. The hosts were very helpful, considering I asked them lots of questions, and they always had a kind response. When we stayed here, we didn’t have anyone else staying in the other units, so it was very private. We were even lucky enough to see a meteor shower. This place is close enough to the beach that you can hear the waves crashing, but not so close you have people walking nearby constantly. Crossing the road proved to be fairly easy most of the time so don’t fret about that if you’re considering this property. There’s a market nearby and a few restaurants, so no worries about finding something to do other than beach combing. Our favorite beach was Coco plum beach, although it also had the most people there so be warned of that. One thing no one ever talks about on your beach vacations, especially more remote beach vacations, is the sand fleas. I highly recommend packing bug spray and using it every single day you go to a more remote beach, such as tropic of cancer beach. Also, if you drink, I can’t recommend Exuma rum bags enough. They’re delicious and affordable, even more so than beer. Power did occasionally go out on us, but never longer than an hour or so. Thank you guys for hosting us, we had such a good time.

Island of Discoveries

This location was great , close to Georgetown but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Close to groceries and restaurants. The unit is well equipped, and the owners are very hospitable and helpful. Rent a vehicle so you can discover all the breathtaking waters of the different beaches. The beach chairs supplied were a great asset. Hopefully we will be back soon!

An amazing time in paradise.

The two of us stayed on the property from August 18, 2023, departing September 1, 2023. We loved the outdoor shower it is perfect because the sand is so fine at the beach. It really sticks to your skin. It’s hard to just brush off. The stove, oven, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, toaster and coffee pot. All worked perfectly. The path to the beach is perfect and we didn’t find the highway busy at all. We had a rental car and spent most of our time touring the island going to all of the beaches. We did two half-day excursions to go, snorkeling see the The pigs, and there were little baby piggies. They were also stingrays that work to feed Across, but you could hold in your arms. They are very used to people. Baby pigs were only a couple of months old. We also went to an island and saw iguanas. The staff on the excursion were amazing. They provided all the food and everything you need if you don’t have your own snorkels and fins. If you do a full day excursion, you can swim with sharks, but because we were there for two weeks, we didn’t wanna overdo it in the sun, so we’re pretty careful each day, even though we came back with great tans. We spent one day on stocking Island, and walked over to where homes and sell boats are kept. No one was on that side and it was only a five minute walk. My husband snuggled, and I just relaxed on the beach. This Fitz it’s really easy to find an access even at night. Would definitely stay again!

Loved This Fitz!

Our stay in the condo was great! It was very clean and well stocked with whatever you might need over the course if your stay. We had trouble getting a car to rent for the week and the host was able to help us secure one for our stay. She also was there no matter what questions we had. Exuma itself was different than we expected but the beaches were absolutely beautiful!

Just what we needed for a week on Great Exuma

My husband and I stayed here in March. This apartment is in a perfect location. It is centrally located, and Tar Bay beach is right across Queen's Highway (not really a "highway" :-). The property is tucked away so you don't see the road at all, and we only had to wait one time to cross the road on the beach path. We explored one end of the island (Exuma Point) to the other (Tropic of Cancer Beach on Little Exuma). Groceries and the Fish Fry are nearby. Janet and Paul are lovely hosts and we enjoyed happy hour with them! The kitchen and bath are updated and the apartment is large; it takes up the entire first floor. A perfect place for a getaway for two!

This studio apartment space was perfect for 2! There is a grocery store just up the road and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the shaded patio and going for walks on the beach. The owners are good people and gave us recommendations for things to do. We plan to come back and stay here again!

Great location to see the whole island.

“This Fitz” was perfect for my wife and I. We enjoyed our morning walks and 350 steps to the beach then miles of beach was great. The property is well kept with accurate pictures and description. The owners were so warm, inviting, and quick to respond to any questions and had great recommendations on food, boat rentals, and excursion companies. We recommend this property and hope to be back one day!

Lovely, private, quiet, well set up

This is a wonderful, relaxing place to stay in the Bahamas. It is not on the beach but has a 250 yard path that takes you through the trees, across the busy highway and down to a beautiful beach. The owners were very helpful and were responsive when we had problems finding the place. If we had had instructions to find the place when we arrived, we would have thought it almost perfect! Great value for the price!

Clean House with Central Location

The house itself was clean and private. They provided beach towels and beach chairs, which was nice. The owners helped us book a bonefish charter with Captain JJ which was well worth the money. The walk down to the beach was longer than anticipated. It took us about 4-5 minutes to walk to it. The wind was blowing 15-20 the whole time we were there and the waves crashed hard onto that beach, so we ended up driving to calmer beaches. Communication with the owners is probably my biggest complaint. For example, the listing mentions the use of laundry facilities, but we were not given the code to access it until we were going to bed the day before we left. Overall, it was a decent stay and the central location was nice. Definitely rent a car so you can tour the island.

"This Fitz"...A FABULOUS SPOT IN PARADISE..!!

This was our third trip to Exuma, so before we booked, we knew where and what we wanted to make the most of our vacation. "This Fitz" was our choice and it was absolutely perfect!! We came in late on a Sunday and were picked up by the property managers who also returned us to the car rental agency the next morning. The house was VERY nice and was well appointed with everything you need ... right down to the corkscrew. It is conveniently located to some of the best beaches (Tar Bay is a short stroll along a private sandy pathway and one of the best beaches and water in Exuma), grocery stores and a super butcher shop that sells groceries as well as prime meats and fish. I cannot say enough about the owners, who lived upstairs. Super people who gave us complete privacy but were also there if we wanted conversation and share a glass of wine, etc.. If you are looking for a perfect spot for a couple, this is it...!! We will be back..!! Thanks for everything. Laura & Steve Canada

Home away from home

“This Fitz” was the perfect place for a couple to stay on their Exuma trip. The location is most ideal and central to everything - you are a few footsteps away from Tar Bay with a private beach path. You are minutes away from the Butcher Store and Hoopers Bay. The apartment is spacious and the property is beautiful. Ron and his wife are the most gracious hosts. They welcomed us with groceries since we came in late and during holiday when stores were closed. They checked in with us to see if we ever needed anything. I was hesitant to stay at a rental with no reviews but I knew I was in good hands after I saw Ron, the owner of Prime Meats deli is the host. He is the best! Visiting his store is a must as well.
