About this property

Sundowner house, beach front, one of the best views on the island. Sleeps 6.

Sundowner House sits with an unparalleled view of the beautiful light blue sea. You can watch fish swim past from the patio– ideally done at “sundowner” time! The house sits 35 ft. above the sea and 25 yd from it, with beach frontage and safe swimming. Hoopers Bay is one of the most beautiful on the island, and extremely quiet. The house has three bedrooms, 1 with a king bed, one with a queen, and the other with twin beds which can be moved together to make another king. There is a mooring in front of the house, marked by a polystyrene buoy. This was installed in August 2022, and is a helix anchor point. All living rooms have fans, air conditioning and a full unobstructed sea view. In response to comments made by one tenant, we took on board what was said, and decided to give Sundowner a facelift, and the following renovations were carried out . The kitchen units, sink and bar were all replaced, and a new refrigerator/freezer bought. For the dining area, a new dining table with 6 chairs provided. All cracked ceramic floor tiles in the house were replaced. The master bedroom has a newly tiled floor, a brand new king size bed in 2018, whilst it's shower room has been completely renovated. It now has a walk in shower. The end bedroom has been altered, the wooden door to the outside has been filled in. The patio has 4 new sunbeds.

Please note, the HOUSE IS ON THE BEACH. I am frustratingly unable to get removed the note that it is a "7 minute drive to the beach".

Two paths lead from the house, which join up then take you to some steps onto the beautiful beach.
Exuma is one to the best bone fishing areas in the world, and it has some of the clearest and cleanest seas to swim, snorkel or dive in. Facilities are available in George Town to do all these things, and also hiring boats. Brochures have been placed in the house to help you in this matter.
The house has satellite WIFI using Starlink so is very fast.
There is split A/C in all bedrooms, kitchen and lounge/diner area.
2 outdoor showers.

One good suggestion from a renter is to bring with you a few paper products that are light and easy to carry, such as trash bags, detergent pods, tin foil, baggies etc as they are very expensive to buy on the island. If you use the App "What3words" the driveway to the house is identified by "sunlit.fattens.mentioned"

Located right in the beach and most of the time felt like a private beach. The house is nice but older and well maintained. Would stay here again.

Best location on Hoopers Bay
Stayed here 3 times. Can’t beat the location and size of the property. Slightly elevated so the views of Hoopers Bay are awesome. Steps away from one of the nicest beaches in Exuma. Easy to get to Georgetown, Smittys, or Prime market. Great house that we will book again.

Short Family Christmas Trip
We stayed at the Sundowner house for 3 nights. The location was perfect. The view was spectacular! The house is clean. Views from all three bedrooms and the living room. Nice outside sitting area. The house has everything you will need. It is an older home, nothing fancy.

Great Spot
We enjoyed our first time in Exuma. The house is a perfect location with a beautiful beach. The view is spectacular and the water is so blue! The house is showing some wear but it was fine for us. We spend most of our time outside anyway. Jenny was great and answered any questions we had. We would recommend this house.

Amazing home!!!
What a cute, comfy cottage vibe with everything you could need for a lovely vacation. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms made it so nice, with each BR having access to their own full bath. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. No dishwasher, and that would have been nice, but not a big deal. Beds were fine, everything was clean!The VIEW!!! Simply stunning!! Quick walk to the beach, some steps, so must be able to walk well to navigate. Lots of blow up floats. One thing I really missed was having sand chairs!! That was the only thing that I coveted, all else was lovely. Our host and liaison were warm, responsive and kind. The house cleaner, a gem. Great location! Rent this home!

Great house in a great location!
Our stay at the house was fantastic. The house was clean, and its location was perfect, just a short drive from downtown Georgetown and convenient grocery stores. This central location made exploring the area effortless. Hooper's Bay, right in front of the house, was calm all week and clear, making it hard to leave and explore other areas. We enjoyed every moment and will definitely return!

Spectacular setting and location!
The view from this home is fantastic, the most peaceful and serene broad look across Hooper's Bay and out towards the outer barrier islands in the distance. I've been all over the Caribbean and never seen more beautiful water.The living room and all three bedrooms look out over the water. The deck/patio that is right off the living room and all bed rooms is a great place to hangout, whether for morning coffee, a late day cocktail, or any other time.The beach was pristine, fine white sand, and virtually uninhabited for its entire width (this was the week before Christmas).Home has everything you need, kitchen is very thoroughly appointed, furnishings are functional if not the most current / "luxuriously" comfortable but that is the only nit I would make, and the entire experience of the house is overwhelmingly positive.Communication with the owner and the local caretaker was thorough, clear, and very quick to respond. The owner provides some excellent guidance on local restaurants and attractions, and even recommended a boat charter captain who we used, was a fantastic experience and less expensive than others on the island.Bottom line, I would absolutely return to the Sundowner.

Functional
First, location is great and the views from the deck are spectacular. From there, I would call the house functional. Don't expect a bunch of bells and whistles with this one other that the view and location. Three bedroom and three bathroom worked for our group. The kitchen was well stocked and everything worked but there was nothing spectacular about it with a small cook top and no dishwasher. Being right on the beach was great but if you have issues with hills or stairs, you are going to want to stay away as it is a trip down a significant hill to get to the beach. A few beach items were in the storage room but no chairs (note that the owner states that beach gear is questionable so no complaints from this). Would we stay here again? Maybe but it wouldn't be my first choice.

About the host

Host profile image
British, and first bought land on Exuma in 1964. Retired over 25 years, formerly an RAF pilot and airline Captain. My first house on Exuma I had built on Tar Bay.

Why they chose this property

Bought the land and built the house in 1990, due to its stunning location. The width of the plot allowed me to have 3 bedrooms all with a sea view.

What makes this property unique

Stunning view where 10 islands can be seen.
Height above the sea, which gives fantastic sights into the sea, where passing fish can be seen.
Closeness to the main town, and the airport.
