About this property

Oceanfront mansion, heated infinity pool. 6 double rooms, 11 beds can sleep 18

Sandbanks is a modern building located on the waters edge of the stunning bonefish flats. Turtles feed just yards away from the house. It is well-equipped, beautifully furnished, very well-appointed and private. The property boasts a heated infinity pool, a pool table, a ping-pong table, kayaks, paddle boards.

We have a small, man-made beach (ideal for the little ones) and a dock which you can use to board rental boats. Access to the water is via the boat ramp and the water height varies from a few inches at low tide to 5ft at high tide.

We are located 10 minutes away from George Town, which has restaurants, grocery stores and banks and 30 minutes away from the airport.

Sandbanks is one of the few houses to have solar power, and a generator which automatically kicks in when the power cuts out. Power outages are frequent on the island so it's important to have this reserve power source. Our hot water is heated directly by the sun. We have recently installed a $200,000 solar farm to cope with all the property's energy requirements.

We can organize excursions, chefs, masseuses (or pretty much anything) when you arrive and we have contact details in our visitors manual which we send out when you book with us.

Flights to George Town (GGT) are direct from Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nassau (Bahamas) and Toronto (Canada).

Amazing stay
We came with a group of 16 and the house accommodated everything we could have imagined. The kitchen was large enough for our group and room to cook, all of the kids had comfortable beds, including the adults, Josh, the house manager was very responsive, and the pool was big enough to accommodate our group as well. I would definitely stay here again.

Awesome property and communication all around was great! Road to the property definitely could use some work which isn’t the homeowners fault. Besides very minor issues our stay was excellent and we definitely would stay again but rent a different type of vehicle.

Loved every minute! James was easy to communicate with for the months prior to our stay and Josh was great when we arrived. Home was clean and perfect for our group of 10. We enjoyed walking the sand bars and low tide and jumping in the pool at the end of our beach days. Amazing home amazing people to work with. Thank you James and Josh!

House perfect for a large family
Our family was very comfortable and enjoyed the accommodations, pool, kayaks, location to many island activities, and short distance to the Georgetown airport. The views from the many balconies of the water and sandbar was spectacular. There were several issues that were resolved quickly. This is the reason we are giving it a 4 rating.

This place was amazing! It really had everything we needed and was very spacious. I will say, the road getting to the property was a bit bumpy and more like an off road experience, so make sure you have a vehicle suitable for getting to and from! 😎 Josh, the property manager was very attentive. One of the showers didn’t work in a kids room and the gas grill didn’t work upon arrival. In the property’s defense, we didn’t mention it until departure. We’d definitely book again! 🏝️

Heaven on Earth!
This is a dream house! We were 2 families, 8 adults and 2 children. The house has 3 levels. The younger couples stayed downstairs on the pool level with the games room. Perfect! The rooms are all spacious with en suites. The master is out of this world. We rented a boat for the 10 days we were there and a couple of jet skis. We caught and cooked fresh lobster, crab and fish every day! Holiday of a lifetime!

Amazing Trip!
We had the absolute best time at Sandbanks Lodge! The property was even more beautiful in person and was everything we hoped for and more! I group of us came down to Exuma for my husbands 50th birthday and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. James and Joanes were easy to communicate with and they made sure everything went smoothly for our trip. We had a few questions and needed help w some stuff at the property and Joanes was extremely helpful. He helped us sent up boat tours and fishing too. We cannot wait to come back!!

Amazing memories!
House was amazingly beautiful and couldn’t ask for more amazing views to wake up to every morning! We had a group of 12 with 4 teenagers who loved every minute! The roads to the house were tricky but made it ok with the rental mini vans. Watch out for pot holes! The house had everything we needed to cook , towels, washer and dryer, kayaks, and paddle boards. Pool was great and even had a daily visitor who became our vacation mascot “Chewy”! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to get back there!

Stunning and comfortable
The house was more than comfortable for the 10 people in our party. Everyone was pleased with their rooms and the master suite was outstanding. Beautiful and interesting artwork throughout. The pool was a fun gathering space! And the kayaks and paddle boards were often used by our group. The QR codes with instructional videos were wonderful! So helpful. And Josh was readily available for whatever we needed - which wasn’t much! We highly recommend this property for your next vacation!

A little slice of paradise
Our week at the Sandbanks Lodge was everything we hoped for and more. The house is gorgeous with well-appointed rooms and kitchen. The outdoor space was where we spent most of our time. The kids loved the pool and the dock & outdoor swings. Hours were spent fishing and playing in the water. Communication with the owner was easy and he was very responsive. Josh, the caretaker, was always available for any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this accommodation. Two notes: the roads to access the property are challenging, but we had a minivan and still managed just fine. Secondly, if traveling with small children we brought our own life vests (easy inflatable ones that were very packable on Amazon).

Epic Exuma Stay
Sandbanks Lodge was the perfect house for our four families. From the moment we pulled up to see the view of the beautiful flats to our last morning enjoying the beautiful heated pool! The 6 bedrooms had the most comfortable beds and each had their own bathroom with towels and beach towels. The air conditioners in each room cooled the rooms down quickly in the afternoons so that we would turn them off during the day while we were out visiting Exuma's beautiful beaches. The kitchen was large and open to the great room for fun family meals and game nights. There is another full sized refrigerator in the game room too! The teens loved the dual pool and ping pong table. The mom's loved the yoga mats and weights provided and everyone enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. One day at low tide we even walked to the island straight out from the house- we were thinking it is 3-4 miles round trip but a fun adventure. I would definitely recommend this house to any groups looking for a fabulous time in Exuma!

Wonderful property
Spent a week at the SandBanks Lodge with two families (total of 11 adults). This house has a great setup on 3 levels so there was plenty of ample space. I have to add that the upstairs master bedroom has a super comfy mattress so appreciated that! The kitchen and dining room are spacious and the large patio overlooks the ocean. Having the heated infinity pool was a plus along with canoes and paddle boards that we used to get to the sandbar that appeared at low tide. Josh, the caretaker, met us shortly after we arrived and explained everything about the house and was always reachable by text…even on New Year’s Eve when we ran out of paper towel and the stores were closed. While we did explore the island and did several excursions, we also spent plenty of time at the house relaxing inside and out and everyone agreed it was the perfect landing spot. We would definitely recommend this home to family and friends if they head to Exuma.

Amazing Family Vacation!!
We had an absolutely amazing time at Sandbanks. We had a group of 15, ranging from ages 4 to 84. The house was large enough that we all had plenty of space to spread out, but there was also plenty of space when we wanted to hang out together. The water in front of the house is some of the prettiest water on the island! We walked out to the sand bars a few times. The pool was great. We were able to use the charcoal and propane grills for dinners. The only real complaint I have would be that we never really got a hot shower. Most likely because of so many people in the house. But other than that, it was so great. Josh, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful. We had some air conditioning issues that were quickly resolved. The location of the house is great, but the roads are ROUGHHH. We had a Pathfinder and two minivans. The minivans struggled until we found some better roads to get to the house. I can't say enough great things about Sandbanks though, and would highly recommend. You can not get a more gorgeous property!

Exuma Beauty
To the Sandbanks Lodge Villa owner and management team, thank you so much for a beautiful stay. The villa was absolutely breathtaking, everything from the view, décor, and amenities was definitely worth it. The view is so beautiful and tranquil, it was therapeutic waking up to it every morning. The pictures and video are great but to be 100% honest, it just does not do the property justice. The ability to walk out the back yard and into the ocean for miles at low tide is a lifetime experience that you sounds made up when explaining it to others. What an incredible experience. The location was a little tough to get to because the roads are not well paved off the main street. However,we felt very safe. Robert and Josh promptly answered all of our questions which was much appreciated. Because they didn’t have guest booked right before us they allowed us to check in a little before check in time. This just speaks volumes of how accommodating management was and we greatly appreciate it. We look forward to staying at this villa again on our return to Exuma.

March 2023 stay
This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location! Our family enjoyed all the amenities that were available. On our first day, we just stayed on property and enjoyed the pool and took a day to recover from traveling. On the 2nd day we used the provided equipment to kayak and paddleboard out to the the sandbar. The third day we rented jetskis through Splashzone Water Sports (242-464-1459) Matthew promptly delivered two 3 seater jetskis and a 3 seater towable float to the house. I called and scheduled with him in the a.m. and in 10 mins we were able to confirm the equipment and delivery and two hours later we had the jetskis and enjoyed for the afternoon. They have full day rentals as well as boat rentals available as well and could not have been more accommodating! Day four was windy and rainy so we just popped into the pool between showers. The pool is nicely heated so you can enjoy it even if the temps are otherwise cool. Day five we went to Cocoplum Beach and exuma point to do some snorkeling, shelling, and playing in the sand. We didn't find too many shells or sand dollars, but we did see some kitesurfers (looks like it would be really fun, but most of us were either too young or too old for!). The sand dollars are found on the sandbar below the house on the cliff. But at Exuma Point, we saw lots of seastars and jellies. The last day we took a private boat tour with Roberts Island Adventures. Also recommend!

This house is amazing. It has gorgeous views of the ocean. We had plenty of room for 15 people.
This was a multi generational family vacation. We had planned this trip for a couple of years and it did not disappoint. We found something for everyone. The little ones loved the pool and we took the kayaks to a nearby island. We loved the beaches and exploring the island but mostly we enjoyed spending time together at the house. It was perfect for us.

About the host

Hosted by Joshua Joyce

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Josh I was born in England and moved permanently too Exuma when I was eight years and went to St Andrews school on the island. Growing up here gave me a love of sailing, fishing and diving. It's also given me the opportunity to meet and get to know people from all over the world this is why I love being a host

Why they chose this property

I love Sandbanks Lodge because Great Exuma is the most amazing island in the Caribbean, and Bonefish Flats where the property is located, is out of this world. I really want you to enjoy this special place

What makes this property unique

1. Secluded, but secure.
2. Unbelievable views.
3. Heated fresh-water pool (I don't know of any other heated pools on the Island), in Summer its not necessary, but in Winter it definitely is.
4. An emergency generator - Great Exuma, does suffer power cuts, but our generator could power a small city!
5. Excellent air-con.
6. Clear skies - not a plane in sight (or in earshot)
7. A boat ramp and dock - to launch a boat, kayak, paddleboards or simply walk into the sea.
8. Wifi.
9. Eco-friendly, solar powered house.
10. Mosquito-busting mistaway system surrounding the property.
