Great Vacation

Really enjoyed our stay. Check in/out was seamless the property was well maintained and the owner and property manager where prompt in their communication with us. Overall we really enjoyed out vacation would definitely recommend this to folks that are considering it. One minor issue was the hot tub, for whatever reason it was not ever hot. Not a problem in the summer but in spring it would have been nice to be able to use it in the evenings and watch the sunset.

Bahama Mamas 2024

No hot water in the bathrooms for the first few nights, but Jonas took care of that finally. Hot tub was not hot in the afternoons. Otherwise everything was excellent. Jonas was very helpful, responsive and respectful to all of our group of five couples. Great trip to Exuma. House is in a wonderful location with an excellent dock.

Paradise found

Our family rented this property for my 50th birthday celebration. The property is as advertised. Great Exuma is the most beautiful place. Every adventure we had was unique and spectacular in a new way. Every evening we enjoyed the pool, veranda and dock. Wonderful memories for the family and friends. Thanks.

Great Stay, Great House and Location

Home was exactly like the pictures, very clean and well appointed. Outdoor areas and dock were great. We enjoyed getting a boat each day at Minns and then picking up the family off the dock each day. Highly recommend this property. Location is also great, only 10-15 minutes from airport and shopping is close by. Would stay here again for sure.

About the host

Hosted by Denise Witmer

Paul and Denise are Canadian business owners with a flare for travel.
We are adventurous and willing to adopt new challenges, thereby challenged by the renovation and pool construction on this property. Having enjoyed Mexico, Hawaii, Italy, Greece, Scotland and England, we were ready to have a home away from home, somewhere warm and not too far away from home. Georgetown, Exuma, with an easy 3 hour flight direct from Toronto was our deciding factor.
As we enjoy people, we also enjoy entertaining & we invite you to experience the Villa and all it has to offer.

Why they chose this property

We first traveled with friends to The Bahamas in January of 2015 and instantly fell in love with Exuma. The tranquility of the area with the small-town atmosphere and friendly people inspired us to investigate properties. We preferred the breezy Atlantic side versus the leeward/backside of the island where it is much hotter. We were enchanted by the steady stream of boats of all sizes passing in the near distance into and out of Elizabeth Harbour, a safe harbour for an estimated 500 boats. This provides a tranquil entertainment.
Paul, being a student of architecture, really appreciated the Spanish flair to the structure of Vista Del Mar. The arches reminded him of the Roman aqua-duct enticing us further. Paul's knowledge of structures helped to determine that the building was sound and well-constructed, thereby being a good basis for our investment. The attention to detail surrounding the column placements allows for unobstructed views of the water even from the furthermost interior rooms of the house. The elevation of the property ensures that the building will not see extensive water damage from ocean tides and swells. As well the building itself is additionally secured with double-ring hurricane beams, making the Villa able to withstand hurricane force winds.

What makes this property unique

The Villa has an unique elevated view that is breathtaking. With a private infinity pool and hot tub there is no need to go too far to enjoy the heat of the day. Likewise there is always a cool, shaded or breezy spot, or a hot, sunny sheltered area somewhere on the premises, dependent upon the ever changing wind patterns.
The Master bedroom private wing is also unique in that the Master is remote from the activities of the household.
We had the vision to entertain many people, yet at the Villa all are able to find a quiet corner to themselves.
