Little piece of Heaven

We spent Spring Break in Exuma. There were 6 of us at Xanadu ages spanning 16-84 years old. IT WAS PERFECT. The view is amazing. The pictures don't even do it justice. Our family of 4 would adventure out during the day and the grandparents were completely happy enjoying the view from the enclosed sunroom (morning) and out on the deck (afternoon). The sunroom is incredible when the breeze stops and the bugs move in. The little no see ums and sand gnats are everywhere you go on the island, but you don't notice them if there is a breeze...when the breeze stop, watch out! The sunroom offers the perfect solution...you can enjoy the view and stay away from the bugs! This house is incredible. It has more than you could ever need. Most VRBOs have a "starter" of everything (detergent, dish soap, shampoo, etc). Lisa and Frank provide EVERYTHING. Full size in most cases. I was completely blown away. So generous and completely unexpected. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Even the refrigerator had most staples (mustard, Mayo, spices, sauces). This is a nice touch in the States...but SUPER helpful on a remote island. Lisa is an incredible communicator and provided so much information in preparation for our trip and was super responsive while we were on island with questions. She went above and beyond. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa and Frank

Why they chose this property

We did a lot of island hoping to find the one that was right for us.
As soon as we stepped foot on Exuma we knew it was the island for us.
From the magical colors of the ocean to the friendly locals.
Then we found Xanadu. Or should I say it found us. :)
It felt like home when we walked through the door.
Then we saw the view. An ever changing, surreal, jaw dropping, gorgeous water view.
Then we got to work fixing her up. Giving her the TLC she hadn't been getting in awhile.
Now we're able to enjoy all of her spender and share it with others. :)

What makes this property unique

Being on a hill, we enjoy the ever breezy trade winds.
Watching the sunrise from bed, or with a cup of coffee on the deck.
After a day of snorkeling or beach hopping, enjoying the outdoor shower with that incredible view!
