About this property

Luxury Waterfront Home Overlooking Moriah Cay with all you need to explore Exuma

The Mandarin is a private waterfront retreat in Hartswell, Great Exuma, with breathtaking views of Moriah Cay and its protected National Park. From your own dock, you can set out each day to discover pristine sandbars, secluded beaches, and calm turquoise waters.

This spacious home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 8 adults and 2 children. A pool overlooking the ocean, a large yard, and an outdoor bar with a Hibachi grill make it perfect for family gatherings or relaxed evenings. The house is fully air-conditioned, equipped with modern amenities, and powered in part by solar energy with natural filtered rainwater. A backup generator ensures peace of mind during island power outages.

Moriah Cay—famous for its untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters—is less than 500 yards from your door. Two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards are included, giving you the freedom to explore nearby islands, fishing flats, and hidden coves. For more adventures, boat rentals can be arranged to Stocking Island, Elizabeth Harbour, or Sandy Cay.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac away from the Queen’s Highway, The Mandarin offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Within minutes, you can reach local attractions, dining, and the natural wonders of Exuma, and in just 20 minutes you’ll be in the heart of George Town.

The Mandarin is pet-friendly, family-friendly, and designed for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and the magic of Exuma right at their doorstep.

The Mandarin House was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. The house had everything you would need for a great time in Exuma. Kitchen was well appointed with anything you might need for cooking meals. The generator was great for power outages. Filtered water available. Loved the pool and dock for boat we rented from Drex. He was great to work with. Monica and Jonas were great host and always responded quickly to any questions.

Beautiful spot, super convenient, lovely people. Groceries easy to find. Kitchen perfect for food prep and group meals. Sitting by pool lovely. We had some challenges with the ac units smelling of mold due to lack of use, bleaching prior to guests arrival would solve that.

Birthday/Anniversary Getaway

The perfect place for 2 couples. It was great-each couple had their own space in the evening but we ate breakfast together in the main house each morning and gathered to play cards and just hangout. We were there in September and there were not a lot of restaurants that were open so we did a lot of cooking in the evening as well. Would definitely recommend.

Magical time with friends and family

We loved our stay at the Mandarin House. It was perfect for a group of long time friends. Everybody had both space to get away and a great family spaces to get together. We cooked together, hung out by the pool and explored the island. Monica made excellent recommendations for activities, services and restaurants. The staff is great too, they came by frequently to check on things and make sure we had gas for the grill, towels and supplies. I would recommend that they get new paddles for the paddle boards. Overall we had a great time.

Beautiful Setting

We loved this property. The actual set-up of the house, the beautiful view, and the wonderful dock and access to water. We were able to see sea turtles and snorkeled right off the dock and saw starfish and small fish and corals. We loved the pool area. The meal that Bola came and cooked was amazing. Thank you Monica for being so helpful through the whole process.

Can’t beat the location

The location was exactly what we were looking for. The house is a little worn and not as clean as I keep my own house but it didn’t bother us and we would go back. It had everything we needed to have a enjoyable vacation. Hands down our favorite vacation yet. The dingy boat is unreliable so definitely take 2 paddles out when you go out. Monica was very responsive and helped us plan all the details. Take the trip!

Heaven in Exumas

We had 3 couples stay at the property and we felt like we were at our own little private resort! The location was great to get to beaches and restaurants. Monica was very helpful and very responsive! The recommendations she provided were perfect. We made lots of friends with the local people. The house had a lots of the necessities already there so that was helpful. Clean and great AC. It was a beautiful property! We will be back :)

Picture Perfect Paradise

The property has a unique layout. The studio was just right for our single son, the bar house was perfect for our married son and the main house was awesome for us old folks. We enjoyed having the bluetooth speakers at the bar house to listen to music while chillin. The house was very spacious and fantastic views! Monica was very prompt in attending to any issues that arose in a timely fashion. Great place!
