Fantastic. Exceeded our expectations!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful beachfront property in Exuma. The house was spotless and incredibly well-maintained, with every amenity we could’ve asked for. The kitchen was fully stocked with quality appliances, and there were plenty of towels for everyone. We especially loved all the water toys—kayaks, paddleboards, snorkel gear—everything we needed for a perfect beach vacation. The location right on the beach was stunning, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better spot. Highly recommend!

Second visit, as magical as the first

Sometimes a second visit somewhere doesn’t live up to the first. Other times it’s just as magical - as was the case with our second visit to Holiday Affair: Perfect location, close to the airport, close to Georgetown, secluded beach, incredible views, that wonderful ocean breeze when you open up the living room doors, reliable internet, and Apple TV (to access your own subscriptions services in the evening). Thank you Nancy for allowing us to stay with you again. We love your home!

Beautiful home right on the crystal blue water

We stayed at Holiday Affair with our two kids who are in college. You definitely need a car if you want to explore the island. But the house is beautiful, well appointed, and on a beautiful beach. We took daily walks, and swam daily. Close enough to Georgetown but also within a drive to grocery stores and the Grand Isle Resort that has a beautiful view and a nice restaurant. Nancy was wonderful leading up to the trip and her caretaker was lovely. We would stay here again.

Outstanding home, location and beach location.

Wonderful setting, quiet and very relaxing!! Five stars all around. Basic amenities are provided generously, and a kitchen with all of the appliances anyone would require. Washer/dryer a big plus. The gracious use of the kayak, paddle board, beach tubes, and beach towels another plus! We have been to Exuma 5 times, first time staying at Holiday Affair, we will continue to stay at Holiday Affair for our future returns.

Wonderful property on a beautiful white sand beach with plenty of space to roam. Kitchen was great to prepare meals in and the deck was very enjoyable for morning and evening relaxation. Wish the water had been a bit calmer but it was close to full moon.

Felt like home

This spot was perfect for hubby and I...I love to cook and the kitchen had EVERYTHING as well as straws, to-go cups, beach towels, sunscreen...the list goes on. We stayed for 8 days and didn't have any real issues with the sand flys/fleas, that was a first, and it was in a great location to the airport and Georgetown.

Perfect for Relaxed Family Vacation

Our family of four (two daughters 17 & 14) had a fabulous week at Holiday Affair. House was clean and had everything you need. Water views are spectacular and from most rooms in the house. Beach is fantastic with white sand and gorgeous water. You basically have the beach all to yourself and it's only steps from the house. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was awesome as always in Exuma! Owner was very easy to work with and responds quickly to any and all questions. Was nice enough to allow us an additional night stay at the last minute when our flight home was canceled late in the evening after multiple delays throughout the day.

We didn’t want to leave!

The house and beach are gorgeous!! It was the perfect place to stay to enjoy our first time in Exuma. We brought our adult sons (22 and 20 years old). Their feet were hanging off the twin beds at night but they never complained. Haha! We highly recommend this property!! Thank you Nancy for sharing it with us!!

Luxury on Tar Bay

Wow! What an incredible property. First, the location is gorgeous. The beach is so beautiful, with crystal clear water on calm days, and fun waves on windy ones. The home itself is just amazing. The living area is surrounded by sliding doors that can be opened to let the breeze and sounds in. Oh, and that view!! Very tastefully decorated, with a true “beach” vibe. Super comfortable master bed and sheets. Thank you to Nanci, the owner, for excellent communication, and to Rachel the local contact, for assistance during our stay. We didn’t need much but she was super responsive and kind. Perfect stay!

Paradise found!

This property was perfect for our family to unwind and enjoy the holidays. The house has its own stretch of sandy beach which is idyllic for walking along, swimming with the kids, and just sitting on the deck taking in the views. The house has more privacy than most houses along Tar Bay which is nice. The house itself has some recent updates and is very comfortable. We slept with just the screen door in the bedroom every night and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. The kitchen is also very well appointed - it had everything and it was all in such good condition! The Thermador stove/oven was a great bonus too. It cooks so well and we were there for 15 days so we needed to cook at the house on occasion. Nanci was very helpful and communicative leading up and during our stay too. Everything was perfect and we hope to go back!
