Vacation rentals with a kayak in Exuma

Perfect place to stay in Exuma. We loved the location and the house! Right on the water, private community, and very clean. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay!

If you’ve never been to the Bahamas—especially Exuma—you’re in for something special. We stayed at Monkey Sea, Unit 2, and it was perfect. The house was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and the kitchen was well-stocked, making it easy to cook after long beach days. We had a brief power outage (common on the island), but the hosts were prepared with rechargeable lights. Big bonus: the kitchen has filtered water, so no need to buy bottles all week! One of the highlights of our trip was meeting Alicia—she took us to incredible local spots we’d never have found on our own. Her tips made our experience unforgettable. Don’t forget to ask Robert for recommendations—he’s full of great suggestions! Another great tip: rinse off at the outdoor shower to avoid sand fleas. Monkey Sea’s fair pricing, central location, and amazing hosts made this stay unbeatable. We’ll absolutely return—highly recommend!

This was our third trip to the island, and by far, the best stay we've had! Cat was incredibly responsive and provided great insights. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and well-equipped, especially the kitchen, which had everything we needed. The king-size bed was a treat and we loved watching the hermit crabs and lizards roam around daily. The beach was peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed kayaking and snorkeling, both of which were fantastic. Power outages were minimal (to be expected on the island), and while water pressure on cisterns can be a bit low, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, we had a perfect week in our favorite place and would highly recommend this property!

10/10 island life! Our stay at Bowe Cay was nothing short of spectacular. A perfect family escape to unwind and reconnect. The island is just the right blend of comfort and untouched natural beauty—completely private, peaceful, and surrounded by stunning waters. The main house and bungalows were spotless, spacious, and well-equipped with modern amenities like air conditioning, hot showers, and Wifi all while maintaining a cozy island feel. Ryan was fantastic to communicate with before our trip. Always quick to respond and incredibly helpful with all our questions. One of the highlights of our experience was Sam, our boat driver and guide. He was warm, welcoming, and full of local knowledge that made our time on the island even more special. He helped us get oriented, pointed out the best spots to explore, and made the boat rides feel like part of the adventure. Having access to the kayaks made island exploring even more fantastic! Thanks for hosting us Ryan, can't wait to come back!

the place is more beautiful than the photos so private so peaceful absolutely enjoyed my time there I can't recommend it enough the place is so clean and the views are amazing lots of space beautiful wrap around deck I will definitely go back

Very nice clean and comfortable house. Ms. Rolle was very helpful and made our stay very enjoyable . Definitely will stay there again

We had an amazing stay at the Moon House. It was stocked with everything we needed. It had mini split units in each room that kept us cool. The beach chairs were a huge plus while visiting the many different beaches. The communication with the host was flawless with fast responses to our questions.

Second stay was even better than the first, we will definitely come back again. The location is perfect for those who want to get away from it all, and have easy access to Moriah Cay. Kayak, canoe, and paddle boards are all provided, plus there’s a small reef to snorkel nearby as well. It’s just a quick two minute walk and you’re out on the water! The house is very comfortable and has all the needed amenities, perfect for a coupe or small family. Gabrielle was a great host as well and very informative, she was always quick to respond with any of our questions. We literally can’t ask for anything more than that, and we can’t wait to go back for a third stay at La Vie!

Lovely resort. We were in villa 3. Just around the corner from the pool and resort restaurant. It was clean and well stocked. Just keep in mind that the area has limited restaurants within walking distance. We did not get a car and taxis are easy to get but would recommend a car. This unit has a kitchenette. We would bring a few breakfast lunch options with if we return in the future. Beautiful beach and friendly staff. Felt safe our entire stay. Would definitely return.

Had a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly responsive and quick to assist whenever we needed anything, which made our trip stress-free. We also went on a fabulous boat tour arranged through the property, with a fantastic guide. The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the Bahamas!

Lovely place! I am glad we read the reviews before we went. The beach is sandy, but not all the way into the water. It is on the rocky side of the beach. Wear shoes to go into the ocean! This is a good location, outside of town. We visited several beaches on both sides of the island. Where the villa is located, the ocean is calmer.

We had the most wonderful time and experience! We enjoyed our excursion with DJ and walking in the bay and on the beach. Recommend getting a golf cart while there to explore and get to the restaurants. Ida has them available. They were so responsive, as we had lots of questions. They picked us up and took us to the airport, which was wonderful and Ida showed us around the island before taking us to our cottage. Beautiful views of the bay off the back of the house and of the beach from the front porch. We would love to go back. So peaceful and perfect! Highly recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was perfect—just a short trip to town, yet it felt like our own private paradise. Having both a pool and the ocean literally steps from the back door was such a dream. We spent our days snorkeling right behind the house, where the water was calm and crystal clear, and we were even lucky enough to swim alongside a sea turtle! It was a truly unforgettable experience, and we can't wait to come back.

Shirls place is very relaxing and accommodating, the view of The Tropic of Cancer Beach is breathtaking. the cottage was clean and provides all amenities for your stay, like most areas in Exuma there are mosquitoes so be prepared. My 8 days was truly sexy.

What a perfect spot, nothing is super fancy but you have absolutely everything you need and couldn’t ask for a better location. We would not hesitate to stay again!
