About this property

NEMO HOUSE - Pristine Luxury Beachfront - Perfect for 4 couples OR 2 families

This stunning, well maintained beachfront home provides all the modern amenities needed for a private, relaxing vacation on the beautiful island of Great Exuma. All bedroom suites are located within the same house footprint on the same ground floor level. Over 3200 square feet of space inside and 1200 square feet outside on the porch. The beach is right on your doorstep!

New Fibre Optic Internet service in December 2021 - over 250MBS hardwire speed !!!! in addition to Wifi mesh system we have hardwired ethernet port in each bedroom.

The owners pride themselves on maintaining this house and its amenities to the highest standards. The kitchen is a gourmet dream and with 2 refrigerators you will never run out of space for cold drinks!

Note that VRBO charges a Service Fee of $599.00 which is not credited to the Homeowner

At $7,900.00 USD per week (7 nights), the cost per couple equates to $282.00 per night per bedroom suite based on a 4 couple occupancy minimum.

Notwithstanding the cancellation policy limits by VRBO- We will always endeavor to re-arrange your dates if for some reason refunds are not possible due to VRBO rules.

The house is well suited for 8 adults with possible space for 2 to 4 children depending on the age of the children. Children would sleep in the same room as the parents on the futon couch/bed or in the available portable Pack N Play or crib. (additional charges apply)

Located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Great Exuma and only an 8 minute drive from the Georgetown International Airport. It is central to all activities on the island but still on a very private stretch of beach. Walk for miles on our beach.

Many direct flights from Toronto (3.5hrs), FLorida (1 hour), Atlanta ( 2 hrs) and Nassau (35min)serve this carefree, casual and quaint island.

Exuma provides a perfect balance of simplicity and amenities for families, executives, couples and friends wanting to escape the stresses of work and everyday life. If you love white sand, pristine waters, surfing, snorkeling, golfing, fishing, scuba diving, boating, fresh fish and friendly people...then you will fall in love with Great Exuma.

The house offers a 1100 square foot Great Room with lounging, media and dining areas. There are four-500 square foot, King-size master suites with ensuites bathrooms that include a combination of walk in showers, soaking tubs and private toileting areas (see floor plan) . The gourmet kitchen offers solid surface counters, double refrigerators, dishwasher, induction cooktop and everything needed for preparing great meals. Nearby restaurants and in-house chef services are also available.

A 1200 square foot wrap around porch, overlooking the beach, provides outdoor living areas next to the sparkling, warm waters of Exuma where an outdoor Barbeque area complements the gourmet kitchen. This is one of the best beaches and houses in Exuma. There are No hotels or public beach access permitted along our beach which keeps it quiet. You are often the only people on the beach but it is still central to all island amenities making this location the most convenient on all of Great Exuma. A car is recommended.

Within eight minutes of leaving the airport you will be sipping a cool drink on the white sand beach beside the emerald waters of Tar Bay. The bay is protected by a reef a mile away and the sandy bottom and shallow waters are safe for kids. The crystal clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and on a calm day kayaking is a must. The summer water temperature is 85 degrees.

A short 8 minute drive east you will find the charming and friendly town of Georgetown, capital of this island archipelago of 3800 permanent residents. You will find everything you need for meal and drink preparation, satisfy your urge to shop at the straw market and boutiques and visit interesting historic sites. Order up some fresh Lobster, Grouper, Tuna or Mahi Mahi from the local fisherman and they will deliver it to the house.

This is a low key, laid back island with none of the hustle and bustle of tourist destinations- perfect for a relaxing vacation - Don't expect casinos, fast food restaurants and designer shopping here. The Exumas will offer a vacation where you reconnect with yourself and your family and friends.

Rent a boat, or hire an experienced captain from Minn's boat rentals to explore the clear, calm waters of Elizabeth Harbour. Don't forget to see the crustaceans at Starfish Beach and visit Sand Dollar beach. A freshly made conch salad and cold Kalik beer at Big D's or Chat and Chill on Stocking Island is a necessity for this boat trip. If boat rental is not an option for you then a water taxi will get you to Stocking island where you can partake in the fun with other sailors, visitors and locals. Have fun with a game of beach volleyball on the sand court , sip an icy Bahama Mama cocktail on a beach chair or feed the domesticated stingrays that hang out looking for food and a stroke on the back.

The love of water is probably the greatest attraction to Exuma. Here you can take your pick of Scuba diving (Dive Exuma), Parasurfing, snorkelling and even surfing on the ocean side of Stocking Island.

Bone-fishing enthusiasts know that Exuma is top-ranked for this sport. There are many charter companies available for hire for deep sea fishing too..

SORRY but we do not permit beach fishing on our beach as we wish to keep predator fish away from our safe swimming waters.

Exuma is like home. Friendly, relaxing and inviting.

FROM TORONTO: Direct seasonal flights are available from Toronto on Sundays . Expect normal return flight costs between $650 and $1300 depending on the dates. Contact the Owner (Cindy) about how to get the cheapest flights.
FROM USA: Daily Direct Flights to Georgetown (GGT) are also available via Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Charlotte, Atlanta with the large airlines (Delta and AA). Return flight costs can vary from $500 to $1500.
FROM NASSAU: If you fly into Nassau then there are at least 5 daily flights between Nassau and Exuma (Georgetown GGT) available with Western Air or Bahamas Air at a cost of approximately $120 each way.

Beautiful house in perfect location
The owner kept us well informed and shared information with us prior to arrival to assist us with ideas that we could do while at the Nemo House. We were met by her property manager and assistant manager Esther and Angel upon arrival. They were amazing and were always willing to answer quests and assist us with whatever we needed. The beach access was remarkable and had no rocks in the area of it which was nice with kiddos, the additional they had there was nice as well (paddle boards, kayaks, snorkel gear). The inside was stocked with all kinds of games and movies and a PS3 that the oldest loved. We absolutely enjoyed our stay and will be back to Nemo House the next time we come back!

Totally exceeded all expectations
Nemo house is beyond exquisite. The beach is pristine and the water was a color blue that I have never seen before. The owners of the house outfitted it with every conceivable convenience. And Esther, the house manager was on top of everything. We loved our stay and cannot wait to come back. Would highly recommend!!!

Amazing Property and Location
The property was amazing from Top to bottom, every thing you need is there. Have stayed at a lot of properties all over and this one was one of, if not, the best most complete property. Location is amazing and beach/water is incredible. I would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to Exuma. Layout was perfect for our two families (4 adults and 5 kids). Reading the welcome book I saw the owners build the property, they did a fantastic job. The lay out of the house was fabulous. 10 out of 10 , this property is a true gem.

Perfect for the whole family!
From large bedrooms and bathrooms to a well-stocked kitchen, this home has it all. The soft white sand in front of the house made a wonderful playground for our 2-year-old daughter. Our 15- and 17-year-olds had fun snorkeling on the calm ocean days and learned how to boogie board on the wavy ocean days. There was one cold and rainy day while we visited, so we took advantage of the variety of board games and movies stocked. We are already trying to figure out when we can make a return visit. This home is also centered on the island. It's a short 35-minute drive either north or south to explore the other ends of the island. If you decide to book this home, you will not be disappointed. It will provide you with lasting memories.

Spring break with family
Our high school seniors and college age children had a wonderful time (even with their parents; )! The Nemo house was a wonderful place to stay. The beds are really comfortable and the kitchen is amazingly well appointed. We used the grill several times during our stay as well. The bay in front of the house is just amazing - clear blue water and the rocks to the left of the house we called our "hot tub pools". It was a VERY relaxing time and the Nemo house only enhanced this atmosphere. Thank you so much for a wonderful week!!

Beautiful House
One of the best VRBO houses we've stayed in! We love the way everything is plainly labeled. It was too windy to use the toys but we enjoyed strolling the beach. It's a pain to pay for things with cash, especially when they give change in Bahama money, but we found out why. We used the credit card at one store and the information was stolen and used in US the next day. The airport rental car was a joke - 7 caution lights on the dash and window would not roll up (and raining). Upgrade would have been worth it.

Amazing property for our family reunion
Nemo House was exactly as advertised. We had an incredible stay for our family reunion including grandparents, parents and children (teens/tweens) and loved every moment. Every detail was thought through - from the garage full of beach and water toys (kayaks, paddleboard, inflatables, snorkel gear) to the fully stocked kitchen with every appliance you could need, to the unbeatable view of the ocean from both inside and from the wraparound deck. Esther was so helpful throughout our stay, providing us with recommendations for the island and helping us immediately with any questions we had. We definitely plan to return. If you haven't been to Exuma before this island is a must and Nemo House is an ideal location. Beachfront and close enough to Georgetown and the airport but also with easy access to both sides of the island so you can explore all the beautiful beaches.

We love the Nemo House! This is the second time we’ve stayed here and will continue to come back as long as we can. It’s perfect for two families, which was our group both times. The house is more than adequately stocked, super clean and comfortable and the amazing views are right outside. The location on the island is perfect for getting to things in town, and getting to both ends of the island for excursions.

Exuma vacation
Amazing property with the best beach which right off of a very nice and large porch. House layout is great for 8 people with plenty of room. Kitchen is one of the highlights with large counter space and island and very very nice appliances and cooking utensils. Only issue that we had was one of the bedrooms with the portable AC created a terrible odor. So much so that we abandoned using that bedroom and slept on the couches in the living room. Make sure that it is fixed before booking. Ester (Property Manager) was awesome!

Best house in Exuma
Exuma is our favorite island in the Bahamas and we come here every year. We have rented various properties throughout the years but nothing can compare to the Nemo House. This house is exceptional. The views of the ocean are breathtaking! A lot of houses advertise close proximity to the beach but Nemo house is right ON the beach! We enjoyed our stay very much! I also would like to note that Cynthia is a great property owner, the communication was great, she always responded in the timely manner and was extremely accommodating! The property is very well taken care of by property manager who is also available for any questions throughout your stay! Overall, we had amazing experience and will definitely be back again. We no longer will be looking for any other places in Exuma, we found our permanent vacation spot! :)

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Zahoruk and Luc Lacroix, Great Exuma Escape Inc.

Host profile image
Our family fell head over heels in love for the Exumas because it provided a relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Exuma offers friendly people and quaint lifestyle that lets you 'chill out'. There are no shopping malls, fast food chains, cruise ships, or stop lights. Exuma has the perfect balance of things to do and see, restaurants, gift shops, sports and an abundance of times when you will feel like doing nothing.

Our first vacation to Exuma was the best vacation we had ever had. We returned refreshed and rejuvenated.

We personally designed and built this home with the rental guest in mind so we offer everything you would need to relax in a maintenance free, well designed vacation space.

We feel fortunate that we can offer guests our wonderful island home.

Why they chose this property

This property has a perfect location because it is only 8 minutes from the airport. After the stress of flying you breeze through the Georgetown airport, walk 50 paces to pick up your rental car and within an 8 minute drive you are relaxing on the porch, with a cold drink. Don't worry the airplanes are not a disturbance as there are only a handful of flights per day.

The 3 hour flight from Toronto is non-stop with Air Canada. There are direct flights also from Atlanta (Delta), Charlotte, Nassau, Fort Lauderdale and Miami (AA).

The house is centrally located on the island, close to shopping in Georgetown, restaurants and Sandals golf course.

Did we mention that it is on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach you will ever encounter. With water so clear and warm and of the colour blue that you will never forget.

All bed linens, bath and beach towels, shampoo and body soap are provided. Bring your own sunscreen, or buy them at the local store.

What makes this property unique

We designed this house to be perfect for larger groups. Whether it is 2 families with kids, 4 couples, or parents, grandparents and grandchildren. It is large and spacious, has an enourmous Great room, wrap around porch, comfortable furniture and all of the things you would need to make wonderful meals, be entertained, relax, conduct business (if you must) and simply feel like you are at home.
