Hoopers Bay is a sought after location and one of the best beaches and bays in Great Exuma. Private, yet close to the airport, shopping, and dining. This is an ideal retreat for couples or a small family. Hoopers Bay is a calm, protected bay with your own semi-private beach. Rarely will you see more than a few people on your beach your entire stay, even in high season. Traffic is low, relaxation high. Step out on the large deck and walk a few feet to the soft, powdery sand and magnificent calm, blue waters.

From the moment you walk into Sand Nickels you will be mesmerized by the views of the Exuma blue water (nicknamed Windex). From virtually every window you will see the sea. The main living area is open concept. Relax in comfort on your Arhaus couch and watch Netflix, (if you can tear yourself from the view) or listen to music on the Sonos speakers. The kitchen is equipped with anything a chef would need. Sand Nickels is complete with two Weber grills for your cooking pleasure; one on the upper balcony and a larger grill on the lower deck. There is a breakfast bar and dining seating for four, if you choose to eat inside. Enjoy coffee or cocktails on the upper level balcony while enjoying the sea breeze.

Perfect Getaway at Sand Nickels
There were 3 of us, ages 82, 48 and 13 on this trip to Exuma. Sand Nickels was incredibly clean, well furnished and located in a fantastic spot. Communication with owner/property manager was excellent and responsive. The house was beautiful. Everything flowed nicely from room to room. The bathrooms were lovely with benched showers. We also loved all the art and little beachy touches/decor. The balcony and decks provided panoramic, breathtaking views of Hoopers Bay. Previously if you’d asked my favorite spot on the island, I would have said Tropic of Cancer. Now, it’s Hoopers Bay. The water was always calm, allowing for kayaking and long hours of swimming and snorkeling. It was a short walk from the deck to the water, which was greatly appreciated by our 82 year old guest. The outdoor shower and hose were also a great benefit. My son has already declared that he wants to come back to this house when we next travel to Exuma. My ONLY small recommendation would be for the owners to put a set of heavier drapes over the sheers. The sun poured into our bedroom at 6:30 every morning, and we’re not early morning people. If you like to sleep in past dawn in the summer, I recommend bringing a sleep mask with you. Otherwise, A+, 5 stars, top notch place to stay! Would definitely book here again!

Spectacular!
This was our 2nd time staying at Sand Nickels and it was spectacular! We love it so much there we are returning in Aug 2024! The views from the home are breathtaking and the convenience of being on the water and close proximity to stores/shops/restaurants is great! Great place and exactly like the pictures/description.

Perfection
We recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful beach house in Exuma, and it was an experience I will cherish forever. The house itself was stunning, with a perfect blend of modern amenities and charming island decor. Spacious and airy, it offered breathtaking views of the turquoise waters from almost every room. The private beach access was a highlight, allowing us to step out onto pristine, white sands whenever we wished. The outdoor deck and lounge area were perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings. Every evening, we were treated to spectacular sunsets that made our stay even more magical. The location of the beach house was ideal for exploring Exuma's natural beauty and attractions. We were just a short drive from the famous Pig Beach, where we swam with the friendly pigs, and close to some fantastic local restaurants offering delicious Bahamian cuisine. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, from a fully stocked kitchen to comfortable beds that ensured restful nights. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, providing us with helpful tips and ensuring our stay was smooth and enjoyable. Overall, this beach house in Exuma provided the perfect setting for a relaxing and unforgettable vacation.

Beautiful house with amazing views!
This was our first time visiting Exuma and we had the most wonderful stay! Sand Nickels is a beautiful home and fully equipped with everything you need plus more. The views from the deck are breathtaking and the property grounds are lush and private. The location is central to everything. Our host so thoughtful. We were there for a 50th birthday celebration and she had a bottle of Moscato and a birthday card waiting for us. We highly recommend Sand Nickels and cannot wait to return!

Great Trip
Beautiful home and location! The views were breathtaking and the beach was beautiful and very private. Host and caretaker were very responsive and gave great information and even had someone stock some things at the house since we were arriving on a Sunday and most groceries close early. We cannot say enough about this great house and area on Hoopers Bay. Would definitely stay again!

We just spent Christmas week at Sand Nickels. The house was beautiful, the beach left us speechless! Perfect location, easy to get to the grocery stores, restaurants, airport and island activities. We enjoyed cooking at home - the kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. The kayaks and chairs made beach time so much fun. We enjoyed the huge deck every evening. Communication with the owner and their property manager was easy. We will definitely return!

Amazing Property!
My husband and I rented Sand Nickels with another couple, and it was the perfect house for us. The house was extremely well-stocked and was just how the photos show. We made great use of the SUP, kayaks, beach chairs and cooler. Seriously, this house has EVERYTHING you may need for your stay. We even met a lady and her daughter on our flight who stayed here numerous times. Will definitely return,

Mesmerizing View of Hooper's Bay
This well appointed house was the perfect getaway for me and my family. The house sits on the hillside with vistas of Hooper's Bay, and on the lower level is access to a huge deck surrounded by palmettos, and beyond that, a path to the beach, kayaks, beach chairs, all to soak up this little slice of heaven on earth. The only way this vacation could be improved is if it was longer.

The pictures of this property are accurate….just a short walk to Hooper’s Bay! Mornings are best sipping your coffee and enjoying the ocean view. Sand Nickels is conveniently located to Georgetown…minutes away. The property is set back from the road which gives you a sense of privacy. Great property to rent!

This is a beautiful place to stay especially if you want to see sea turtles. Clean and comfy. Houses around but feels private. Good place to access everything on the island. Don’t expect all of the things you can get in the US to be in Exuma stores. Friendly people. Felt safe.

We spent one week in your cozy home. Plenty of seating inside and outside for 4 adults. The kayaks were a huge plus! The property manager was very responsive! Highlight of the week was seeing the sea turtles!! Highly recommend Blu for dinner, it’s on Little Exuma but is worth the drive.

Best spot to stay on the island!
We fell in love with the property/home from the first time we drove down the gravel drive! The views were spectacular, the house was lovely and we loved having the use of kayaks/paddleboard, floats, etc. and especially snorkle gear to swim with the turtles, which I think we did every day we were there. Our 1st day there, I had just barely waded in the water right behind the house when a baby turtle popped his head up, not even a foot, in front of me to say hello. The evenings were beautiful at Sand Nickel and we were fortunate we did not experience any bugs. Our entire stay was so wonderful - thanks so much for the much deserved rest and relaxation! 😎
