Loved Sandy Bum
We loved this house. Of the houses we've rented that sleep 15-16, this was the best setup. Beach access is great. The basement gym and pool table were highly utilized. We enjoyed the large dining room for dinners and living room for hangouts. The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. 15 adults (includes 7 college kids) slept comfortably. The house has all the furnishing to cook, made cocktails, relax, have a more formal dinner etc. We worried about street noise etc, but that wasn't an issue or concern, we barely noticed. Mid island is great for trips in either direction.

Core memories made at Sandy Bum
My dad treated my siblings and our families to the trip of a lifetime at Sandy Bum. We travelled as a group of 19 – 10 adults and 9 kiddos (aged from 14 to 1 year). It's a truly special spot - with spectacular views and all the comforts of home. We felt so taken care of. The owners have truly thought of everything and it made our stay that much more special. The kids especially loved the beach toys, pool floaties, and bunk room. We’ve stayed at a ton of vacation rentals and Sandy Bum was our best experience, hands down. Fingers crossed we're lucky enough to visit again.

Sandy Bum perfection!
Sandy Bum is an amazing property. The house and cabana are so veautiful and thoughtfully designed. Our group of 11 adults, a 6 yr old and 2 toddlers were all comfortable in the nicely appointed beddrooms. The owners communications were amazing and thorough, answering all our questions and anticipating our needs.

AMAZING HOME & BEACHFRONT!
Our large family group (young children to grandparents) enjoyed every minute of our stay at Sandy Bum! We enjoyed the beachfront, pool, and wonderful home for a week. The owner, Neil, was exceptional in communicating with us ahead of our trip with island and home information that allowed us to plan things during our stay such as a boat excursion, private in-home chefs, and in-home massages. The property manager, Esther, was equally amazing and available throughout our trip for questions and check-ins. Thank you to both of them for creating and maintaining a wonderful property on this beautiful island! We look forward to our next trip to Sandy Bum!!

About the Benz Family

The Benz family came to Exuma on a whim in April of 2015 and decided this is the place we need to. Luckily we were renting from real-estate agent Judy Hurlock. Judy and Bill gave us great advice on how to move forward with our dream. On that visit, we found 2 connected beachfront lots on Tar Bay that had the most beautiful water and the longest stretch of beach we had seen. We were hooked. The long and trying process began to build what is now Sandy Bum. The name originated from watching our young children happily play in the surf for hours, collecting pounds of sand in their bathing suits. We have met many great people along the way that helped make all of this possible. Once on the island, you will understand why we love it-the combination of quiet relaxation and exciting exploration. Our goal was to make a modern house with all the comforts of home allowing you to unwind and enjoy the beauty of Exuma.
