Fabulous Home in Paradise

We traveled to Great Exuma in April 2024 and absolutely loved the Island and the home that we rented. Serenity Hill is aptly named as it is on a small hill with views of the beautiful Caribbean. Planning for our trip was much easier thanks to the detailed welcome guide that our hosts provided in advance. It really helped us to maximize our experience. The house is very well appointed and has a warm island feel. It has two large bedrooms and great room that is very open with a vaulted ceiling. We really enjoyed the covered porch for coffee and breakfast each morning as we planned our adventures for the day. Our hosts anticipated our needs in every way. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances and everything is virtually new. We were provided with beach chairs, snorkeling gear, towels, all necessary to really enjoy the fantastic beaches on the Island. It seemed to us that we had the Island to ourselves as we were regularly the only visitors on some of the beautiful beaches we wandered each day. We have travelled extensively and this was up there with one of our best vacations for the pure beauty of the water that surrounds this wonderful place. We highly recommend Serenity Hill! Thanks to our hosts for allowing us the opportunity to spend time in their home.

The BIG WARM HUG...

Serenity Hill is the perfect name for this property! Upon arrival in Exuma for our vacation, as usual, the island welcomed us but when we got to the villa & opened the door the home itself was like a big warm hug! The decor, furnishings, the entire setting is so welcoming & calming, quiet & the elevated location was amazing, we opened the windows & doors & let the amazing breeze flow through the home, we did not need air conditioning for all but maybe two days during our stay. Scott & Tara are amazing and thoughtful hosts, the home is stocked with everything you will need. We have been renting homes for years and this home, by far, has been the most completely thoughtful down to the last detail, kitchen, bathrooms, beach equipment, floats, beach chairs, it was so nice to have those extra things. We always pack ours, but to have some extras just in case, is beyond thoughtful. The house is also labeled very well, each light switch so there is no guessing which controls what, how to work the the remotes for the TV, all the little things. The kitchen is beyond well-stocked, Scott & Tara have thought of everything. The kitchen also did NOT disappoint, they have a great spice drawer too! I would be remiss by not mentioning the beds, beyond comfy. The bedrooms are spacious, tons of storage! This home is truly amazing, it's beautiful & a wonderful place to relax, destress & enjoy paradise!

Perfect Family Vacation

We spent 8 days at this beautiful home. Everything was perfect and as described. Hosts were responsive & provided a ton of info. about the house & island. The house was spacious, bright & beautifully decorated. We had everything we needed & more. Perfect location close to town and beaches. The backyard beach was such a cute addition and we used it every morning to have our coffee. The deck is great for outdoor dining & drinks. Perfect stay and will return!

Amazing Vacation Home in a Great Location

Serenity Hill is an ideal vacation home! It has two very large bedrooms, a spacious open concept kitchen and living room and a beautiful deck with views down to the water. Tara and Scott were great hosts and they ensured the home was very well equipped for any conceivable need. We will definitely book this vacation home again! We had the best vacation possible and the location was only 7 minutes to Georgetown and 7-10 minutes from several amazing beaches. We had a great week and would highly recommend Serenity Hill.

About the host

Hosted by Scott McBride and Tara Dracup

Tara and I live just north of Toronto, Canada. We first visited Exuma in 2018 and immediately fell in love with this fabulous island. After our second visit in 2022, we decided that we would like to make the island our home-away-from-home, especially during the winter months here in Canada. We purchased Serenity Hill in December of 2022 with the plan to spend Jan-Mar in Exuma, and rent the property for the majority of the calendar year.

Why they chose this property

We determined that Serenity Hill in the Bahamas Sound 14 area was an ideal location. Just a 5 minute drive from the town of Georgetown, 7-15 min drive from many fantastic beaches & 20 minutes to the airport. A very quiet area, set up on a hill, we enjoy the ocean view and gentle breeze as we sit on our covered deck. And we are very fortunate to have a have a wonderful neighbour.

What makes this property unique

As we walked up on the wrap around porch, the view blew us away. You can see the Bahama Sound and sail boats on the open ocean. When we walked inside, we were impressed with the spaciousness of the home, including high ceilings, multiple large windows, and all the amenities that were were used to in our Canadian home. Tropical gardens surround two sides of the home - the breeze through the palms sounds amazing.
