We were extremely pleased and enjoyed every moment of our 12 night stay at this wonderful charming property. Highland House was exactly as described and pictured. A lot of time and effort has been put into the decoration and creating a lovely Caribbean vibe. The house had everything we needed including a great kitchen, utensils, great air conditioning throughout the house , beach chairs and swim accessories, which were very helpful for both at the property and to take with us to other beaches. There is a nice ocean-view from the deck….but even better…..it is less than a 60 second walk down to the amazing 3 mile long Jimmy Hill beach with the most perfect beautiful ever changing aqua blue water I’ve ever seen. It was perfect for morning and daily swimming, sometimes very calm and other times a few waves, a bit windy but very swimmable.
We explored the entire island and went to all the best beaches. Each one usually better than the other but ultimately the most convenient and relaxing was the one right out front which is exactly what we wanted.
We went in Aug, the low season so virtually had everything on the island to ourselves, which was fine with us. If Highland House is available during your dates of travel don’t hesitate and book ASAP as I believe it is the best priced House with every amenity right next to the beach. Put it this way, the houses 200 feet across on the beach average $400 to $500 more a night, So just off the beach Was a fabulous saving. We met others who are paying the same or more to stay in hotel rooms in Georgetown where the beaches are not as nice.
The owner Eugene was very responsive and helpful as well as the property manager Terrelle Who was always on hand and available if we need him but I must say because everything was just so good…. We really didn’t need to bother him.
Exuma is beautiful and very laid back island. It’s really a place for going to the beach and just relaxing. There’s not a lot of other things to do, few restaurants really not a nightlife island, which was fine for our family. We did the fish fry and Santana's in little Exuma but mostly we cooked/bbq at the house most nights. Do… rent a car. Do… Rent a boat for the day at Minns Marina. So much fun exploring Elizabeth harbor and the sand bar. Don’t pass this up….Book this house now……you won’t be disappointed. We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed our stay here immensely and will be back!
