Great facility Odd arrangement with resort

Nice place have been many times 47th year coming to exuma Great cottage Friendly host Fabulous location Unconnected with this is the oddly run resort next door that requires a sideways entrance to the rental property rather than through the main entrance minor inconvenience but odd And incredibly unfriendly staff at adjoining restaurant Property itself is wonderful

Cloe was very accommodating

The place was good for the price. Loved the location. Bed was big which I loved but a little too hard for me. Loved having the washer and dryer in there . The couch was very uncomfortable. Cloe said they are doing a full renovation in April can’t wait to see it all done over.

Exuma is great

Cleo is an excellent host. She was very helpful answering many questions and meeting us upon our arrival. The place could use some updating, like a new couch and bed. The beautiful water of Exuma made it a great trip.

Renter advisory

Prop mgr. very responsive before trip & upon arrival. Clean & fully equipped w/basics. Disappointed restaurant onsite closed for remodel & other local eateries only open on weekends. Beach scene in photo not beach at property. Very narrow ‘beach’ @ property not as pristine with seaweed. Villa is a dated cottage that does not face beach with 3 cottages between rrental & beach. Not allowed to swim in pool or use clubhouse, gym, or complimentary shuttle because owner not affiliated with HideAway association. Spent $20-$40/day on taxis to restaurants & well know beaches. Advise avoiding Exuma during slow season because of shop & restaurant closures.

Great location!

My husband, myself, and my 6 year old son spent a week here in February, and it was a perfect size and set-up for our family. My son slept on the pull-out couch, and it was nice having the additional full bath in the living area for him. We had the small pool right outside our door, and he would swim every evening while we sat on the front porch. We didn't use the beach right in front of the villa, but instead used our rental car (which you will definitely need) to drive to a different beach every day. The location of this villa was perfect in that it was a nice mid-point between Little Exuma, and the northernmost point of the island. It was also very close to town, and within walking distance to many restaurants, which we took advantage of every evening. Angie was very helpful in securing our rental car for the week, as well as checking in on us throughout the week to make sure our stay was enjoyable. We fell in love with Exuma, and definitely plan on returning!

The best vacation I have ever had!

I can't say enough good things about my stay in Great Exuma. This Villa was perfect for me and my sister. We traveled with a few friends who were also at Palm Bay so it was perfect. The villa was exactly as it was described and looked in all the photos. It sits in a quiet area of the resort and it's only a short walk to Jolly Hall Beach (which was both beautiful and we were the only ones there!). We rented a boat while in Exuma as well as took the swimming pigs, nurse sharks and iguana tour. The water is so clear, you won't believe it until you see it. We spent most days playing on sand bars/banks as well as secluded beaches. We loved this vacation. It was the most relaxing vacation I've ever had. The washer/dryer was a lifesaver as we only had to pack a few items and just washed them up as needed. We even had a bar-b-que with some friends in another villa. Having two bathrooms made it so much easier to get going each morning. Angie was very helpful and answered all my questions. Kingsley made sure we had everything we needed while we were at the condo. I can't say enough great things about my stay at Saige Villa! We hope to go back again later this year! Thanks Angie and Kingsley for all your help!

intimate lovely cottage steps from the beach

we stayed at angie's place for a week. what a perfect setting. watching the sun rise over the waves gently rolling in. we used the kitchen a lot and hung out by the pool when we weren't exploring the island. it was an inauspicious start: there was no one to meet us at the airport (as planned) and when we arrived at the villa it was not cleaned. not ready. BUT: that was fixed in minutes and angie quickly offered to refund the first night's fee. how cool is that? there could have been a few more supplies, but given the arrival confusion, ok. some things to know; georgetown where there are groceries and supplies is about a mile. a taxi is ten bucks. for $90 we rented a car from thompson's right across the street from hideaways (which what the palm villas is now called). thompson's brother is robert of robert's island adventures. his crew took us on a half day pig-iguana-starfish-shark snorkel adventure. just five of us in the boat instead of 15... unparalleled. fish fry down the road is highly recommended. best food on island: santanas. next to best beach: tropic of cancer. take a trip to stocking island and pet the rays. just beware the bugs. we'll be back angie, thanks.

Relaxing Bahamas Destination in a Great Location

This rental Villa is a delightful place to spend a Bahamas vacation and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything was pretty much just as the VRBO listing states. The villa is located near George Town and is close to everything; airport, markets and the government dock for the water taxi to Stocking Island. The kitchen is stocked well enough with cookware and utensils to make simple meals. There were plenty of linens, bath bathroom towels and beach towels provided in villa. The only thing missing was some paper towel for the kitchen. There is a safe in the bedroom closet, but I was shock to find the safe itself is not attached to anything. The villa is definitely the right size for two and could easily work for a small family using the sofa bed. Restaurants are near by, we loved Mahi Mahi and Cracked Chicken at Splash. The local Fish Fry restaurants are an easy walk from the villa and Shirley’s was good choice. Contact with owners Carole and Charles was easy through the WhatsApp and they were attentive to our needs. As a previous guest has mention in the reviews the villa could use a deep cleaning. It’s livable clean on the surface, but needs some attention to the details. The bedroom A/C unit was not functioning upon arrival, but after three unannounced service visits it was repaired before we left. The rental is part of a resort property with multiple villas and this is privately owned by Carole and Charles. Rental of the villa does not provide you with free access to the resorts offerings, this includes the pool on the property. The pool looked very nice and inviting, but we did not attempt to use it preferring to spend time in the ocean. There are kayaks in the villa which is good because you will not have access to those at the resort. It seems that there is a bit of turf war occurring between the resort owner and the villa owners. This issue was made very apparent after noticing a sign near the property gate that reads: "NOTICE" Villa #** is not included in the licensed hotel program/operated/maintained by the ******** LTD. Hotel insurance coverage/amenities are not included. For hotel/resort services register at the ********* (fees apply). Be aware unregistered guest may be considered trespassers by Bahamian law. Something to consider when renting. In closing everyone we met in Exuma was so very nice and friendly. The locals made our vacation wonderful. So all in all it was a good stay at this VRBO property

Everything you need

Things I look for in a vacation rental: 1. Value. Yes, this place is a good value for the nightly rate compared to others on the island. 2. Convenience. Yes, there is a bar and grill on the property that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you don't have to drive anywhere to eat or get a cocktail. Also, there is a full kitchen in the villa, and a washer and dryer. Wifi, of course. And cold air-conditioning. 3. Location. Yes, you are a 30 second walk to the beach where you can lounge and swim, and a 10 minute walk to Coco Plum beach which is a world-class, picturesque location. There are also several grocery stores and restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute drive.

Property needs a makeover

The property itself to summarize it in three words needs TLC. The location is in a great area. This property is inside the Hideaways hotel but it’s privately owned so you cannot use any of the hotel amenities . I saw other villas from the actual hotel that were in way better conditions. The room was not clean enough it was very dusty and made my allergies worse. I wish I had cleaning supplies so I could clean the sand and dust myself. The room also had a weird smell all the time. To me it smelled moldy like humidity. The owner mentioned they had just recently painted although it did not smell like paint to us. This villa needs a makeover being in the exclusive beach location like Exumas it definitely needs more care. The only thing we enjoyed was the location since everything was close by and we enjoyed the outdoors more than anything else.

Lovely Exuma Getaway

We had a very smooth arrival and check-in. We were treated promptly at the airport by Willy with our rental car that he had helped to secure for us. The property is clean and was perfect for our use. It’s steps from the beach and there are several nearby restaurants. A wonderful base for a stay on Exuma!

Perfect location

Place was very clean and excellent location! even though it's not part of resort the only thing you really miss out on just the pool, and who needs a tour when the ocean is just steps away? The owners graciously offer kayaks to use that you don't have to worry about missing out on availability! Even though you aren't part of the resort everyone is very friendly, and there are three restaurants within very short walking distance. Carol was so very helpful quick to answer any questions I had including a restaurant recommendation. Very gracious hosts indeed! They even had arranged a taxi to be waiting for us when our plane landed at the Exuma Airport!

Perfect

This is the second time we have stayed in this Villa and it’s the perfect location and size. Carole was quick to respond and met us at the villa as promised. We didn't need a thing during our 8 day stay but if we had it’s nice to know they were close by and could help. Everything worked great, WiFi, TV, air conditioners... there were plenty of bath towels ..... and the washer and dryer are pretty much a luxury to have in your room on this island. Highly recommended :-)

Good location

The property is located at /on the Hideaways properties so it is a good location. Close to George Town, the airport and car rental. We enjoyed our time in Exuma. The host Carole was very helpful and very nice. Met us to check us in and gave us helpful information on travel before and during our stay. The villa had information on the area and things to do. The villa had TV and AC in the living room and an AC unit in the bedroom,,,...although the AC in the bedroom was not working as the remote was missing. We still were petty comfortable at night with ceiling fan. We did a lot of cooking and there are cooking supplies there. We did find the fan and light over the stove did not work. I am a stickler on clean and the villa could use a deep cleaning, ceiling fans, bathroom fans, inside the cabinets etc... Otherwise, it was pretty clean. It was nice to have the kayaks available to us ! We just never go t a chance to use them as we were very busy exploring. Over all the villa could use some updating and some repairs, but over all the place was comfortable for us and location great and that is why we booked it.

Little piece of paradise

Great communication from Carole before we left for our trip! She was so kind to order us a taxi pick up and drop off to/from the airport (Rudy is awesome!) And because we arrived on Sunday after the grocery stores closed for the long weekend she picked up some coffee and breakfast essentials for us so we weren't stuck for 2days with no food! Carole was super available with suggestions from things to do from things to do, car rentals, best beaches to which boat tour to use. The villa is just as described, clean & spacious for 2 people, only steps from the beautiful water and beach, great morning views with your coffee, very quiet area and perfect location to walk and explore. It had everything we needed to make our meals but we went out for dinner mostly. We even took the kayaks out which was super fun! For dinners we ended up walking 10mins down the road to eat at the local Fish Fry (Shirley's) and had a few dance parties at the bar next door to Shirley's called Caribbean Flavour (be sure to say "HI" to Mark the bartender/owner - great drinks and great karaoke!). Splash Bar also great service and food is the closest as on the Hideaways resort. We also enjoyed the BBQ at Augusta Bay one night - delicious!! Highly recommend renting a car for a couple days to check out a few other beaches (Tropic of Cancer, CocoPlum, etc.) Absolutely take a water taxi (we used Elvis Taxi) to Stocking Island. We used Exuma Water Sports for a 1/2 day trip to see the swimming pigs - must see!! We also met some people who rented a boat which seemed like it would be a great idea too next time. BUT whatever you do... make sure you save at least 2 beach days for Jolly Hall beach which is a 5mins walk from the villa it's beyond the definition of paradise. We fell in love with Exuma on this trip and will definitely be back again one day! This villa is a perfect spot to use as your home base and a place to feel like home while you explore this beautiful island. Thank you Carole and Charles for making our trip so amazing! See you again soon :)
