Stunning views with a great beach. Property hosts were easy to contact and always responded in a timely manner. I am a person that enjoys hot tubs, so it was a little disappointing that the hot tub did not have any jets.

I would have rated my stay a perfect five if it were not for the living room furniture. The cushions from the couch as well as adjacent chairs were beyond dirty. You can tell a previous guest spilled juice, or soda, or coffee on them. The stains were very visible and big. Not all of the doors locked as I assumed they would. The back patio door didn’t lock and the front door was a hassle to unlock and lock. It looked like it was damaged a little around the locking mechanism so it took brute strength to lock and unlock it everyday. Other than that, the house was remarkable. The access to a private beach and pool was amazing. The room sizes were also awesome. I would bring the cost down a bit if there are no plans to buy NEW furniture cushions for the living room area (they are beyond the point of cleaning) as well as possibly replacing the mattress in the primary bedroom (it’s starting to sink in the middle). I would love to come back next year if the aforementioned items are addressed. -Terry

We had the absolute best family vacation ever! I chose this house because besides from the master bedroom, the other three rooms were almost identical. Each had a view of the beach and its own en-suite bathroom For me, I did not want any of my adult kids to feel like they drew the last straw. This house met that requirement. Besides that, the view is spectacular, the beach is spectacular, the pool is spectacular, the house is spectacular! We could not have found a better place to spend our family vacation in the Exumas.Actually, I looked all over the Bahamas for the perfect place. We secured Theo and his son for a half-day fabulous boat ride.Definitely would recommend! Then because of other reviews, we took the advice of requesting Theo and Tina‘s mom to cook for us an authentic Bahamian dinner. It was fabulous and I would definitely recommend. We are all hoping to return again!

Beautiful property! The owners have thought of everything to make the stay relaxing. So glad we took advantage of getting our groceries picked up in advance. The dinner at Blu was incredible. Kayaking out to the islands was the highlight of our stay.

A Perfect Stay

The Reef House is truly outstanding! It has the prime position on this gorgeous, secluded beach with cooling trade winds that keep the pool deck area bug-free and perfect for afternoon naps. It earned every bit of the 5-star rating from the view, to the airport escort, to the quality of the house itself. Best house on the beach easily.

We had such an amazing time in the Reef House. It was well stocked, as beautiful as the photos look, and we practically had the entire beach to ourselves. Tina was always very responsive and it was such a nice touch to have her guide us to the house upon our arrival. This is nothing against the property but make sure to bring bug repellent! We saw a guide for visiting Exuma that recommended this and I wasn’t as liberal with the spray we brought as I should have and my ankles were itching for days! The property had a little cubby with repellent in it so it was my fault for not heeding the advice.

Thanks so much for the review. Sorry about the WiFi issue. Road work is being done currently and they took down some poles temporarily while they work. Some areas have been restored but it’s a process. Thanks again!
