Our family of 10 had a terrific stay North of Georgetown! Owner communication was great, host was accommodating and the house rented left nothing to be desired. The vehicles, that also carried 10 of us, were extremely helpful in seeing the island. Hard to imagine a better rental! Friendly locals too! Not a frown own the island! Come and enjoy for yourself!

Absolutely loved the house. Clean, great location close town/grocery stores/water taxis. The small reef out in front of the house was perfect for the kids as they could touch the entire time and gave peace of mind for parents. The pool was a life saver. Only minor issues were the 2 cars….battery died in one, which is was quickly remedied and replaced. Derek was very responsive the entire stay.

We absolutely loved our stay in Exuma! The location was stunning—peaceful, private, and surrounded by breathtaking views. The home was ideal for our group of four couples, with each couple having their own bedroom and bathroom, making the stay extremely comfortable and relaxing.The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook meals together, and we especially appreciated having access to two cars at the house—it made exploring the island so easy and convenient. The view from the house was simply amazing, and we spent many mornings and evenings just soaking it all in. Our host, Derek, was incredibly responsive and helpful, answering all our questions before our arrival and making sure we felt prepared. During our stay, the house manager, Janet, was wonderful—always available and quick to assist with anything we needed.This property truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-equipped place to enjoy Exuma with friends or family.

Welcome to paradise

The house looks even better in person than in the photos, it was clean spacious, had everything you could need or want and the whole process from booking to checkout was easy and stress free. The location was really convenient and there was great snorkeling just off the backyard. I can’t wait to stay there again

Great Time at Jolly Turtle

The Jolly Turtle House had everything our group needed for a great vacation! There was ample room for our group of 9. The pool and use of water toys is great and the gas grill was nice for when we stayed at the house to cook. Derek was extremely responsive and very helpful! He helped us arrange rides to and from the airport to the property. The use of the cars as part of the house is such a great perk of this property!

Family Vacation 2025

Our stay at the Jolly Turtle was amazing! The house had all the amenities needed and was clean. We used the pool and kayaks numerous days while there! Close to the grocery store and the use of the vehicles was such a help. Janet was there to greet some of our family because we had flight delay issues and Patrick picked them up and was there to get us back to the airport on time. we can't wait to get back to the island and explore more of it. Family had a great time!

On the beach

The house itself was large enough to fit us all comfortably. The bedding and furniture was comfortable.There is about 10 feet of rocks to get step through to get to the sandy part of the ocean so that was a little tricky for older and younger people but we did and the water and ocean are wonderful beyond that.Two cars are provided but only one is useable in my opinion. One of the cars shook so bad we pulled over to see if we had a flat tire, something is definitely wrong and I did end up renting another car as we needed two but it’s still a good deal to get even one car for your vacation.Derek and Janet were super nice.

The pictures do not do this house justice. The house is gorgeous but the view of the ocean is incredible! We enjoyed the pool and the ocean views. The house is in a great location and the use of the car was great, it fit 7 people. Derek let us check in early and Janet was amazing. There were 8 of us and we had plenty of room. I highly recommend renting this beautiful home in paradise.

Can’t wait to return!

The Jolly Turtle house was absolutely amazing. The listing photos do not do this house and location justice. The greatest snorkeling and water right in the back yard! The house accommodated 10 of us perfectly and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to the market, stores and restaurants. The owner Derek was a pleasure to work with and so was the house keeper Janet. We are sad to leave and can’t wait to plan our next trip back to the Jolly Turtle!!! 10/10 BOOK THIS HOUSE!!

Jolly Turtle

Had a wonderful experience at the Jolly Turtle! Derek is a great host, wonderful communicator and has appointed the home to tend to every need. A very comfortable, quiet and enjoyable stay. The home is well-marked on the highway and a familiar residence to service car drivers for those travelling by taxi. Close enough to Georgetown to enjoy attractions and dining there and for a more local flavor, very close to the "Fish Fry" which is a group of local restaurants, pubs and walk-up dining.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

My family and I just got back from Exuma and I’m already itching to go back! Derek was an amazing host and was very attentive to any concerns or issues we had. The house is spectacular. We were a family of 10, including a 1 year old, and we were all extremely pleased. We had access to two cars which made our trip much easier. I would like to personally thank Derek and Janet for their kind hospitality. We cannot wait to book again for next year! A definite must stay home. You won’t regret it.

Absolutely beautiful area!

We had a great time at the Jolly Turtle. The house is right on the beach, and our own private pool. The owner has paddle boards, kayaks, floats, all you need to have an amazing stay. There was plenty of bedrooms for Our family of 6 adults and 2 children. Janet the caretaker was amazing (grandkids gave her a hug when we were leaving). If you needed anything all you had to do was call her. I can’t say enough good things about our family vacation at this place. Absolutely loved it. Would recommend to anyone. One of the best spring breaks we’ve had.

perfect stay

Everything was great. Excellent communication with host and local support. Pick-up and drop-off at airport a nice bonus convenience. The included car for use another great convenience and value. We were only two adults but house very well set up for large family/families or multiple couples. Great location - close to amenities, central to beaches at both ends of the island. Very easy to get around. Beach not quite as sandy as the picture looks but provides lots of paddle boards/kayaks/snorkeling gear to enjoy the water easily.

Pic of property very misleading!!

the house was extremely nice and the property owner was very helpful. Janet was amazing even with everything she had going on!! The only complaint we had was the beach that is showing in the pic of the house. the beach is all rock, no where to lay and relax and no where for a kid to play on the beach. however, there was a nice place with sand around the patio. just no beach access unless you wanted to wade through the rock. overall was a great house to stay in.

Even better in person! Would stay again!

The host made everything so simple and helpful! We even ended up having to be delayed an extra day and they still went over and beyond making our check in with ease. This house has it all! All the fun toys for the kids and adults. We loved the little rock island to kayack and snorkle to daily. Its nice shallow so my friends eight year old went on his own! The location was perfect. A couple minutes from everything you would need as well as the airport. I would say them having two cars to rent as well made our trip seamless since we had six adults and two kids. The rooms were perfect! NICE when we can all enjoy a king size bed! Truly a perfect experience. The home was filled with everything youd need from cooking to family games we had a blast every day and night! Will def stay here again!
