House is the star
Easily one of the nicest properties in Exuma. Views are exceptional and the layout is ideal for multiples couples. Family could not have been more pleased. House does have minor deferred maintenance (roof leaked under very hard rains, but nothing distracted from our stay). Will definitely be on our short list to rent again.

We stayed at Vista Del Mar the week of July 4th. The house location is wonderful. We have been coming to the Exumas for 10 years and this by far is located the best! The house is near everything we could need. The view of Elizabeth Harbour every day is stunning. Jonas, the caretaker, was helpful if we needed any assistance. Hope to come back and rent again!!

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.

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.

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.

Excellent stay!
This was our first time to Exuma. The house was wonderful with an amazing view! All of the amenities were provided. It was so nice to have floats, kayaks, paddle boards, games, and all kitchen supplies. The dock was amazing and we enjoyed floating under it to escape the sun at times. Jonas was very quick to respond with questions. The owner was also very quick to respond. We rented a boat for two days and it was great being able to load and unload at the dock. We will definitely be back! The most beautiful water we have ever seen!

This villa is gorgeous. You will have an adventure to remember. Jonas is a great caretaker and available to help with whatever is needed. The adults and kids loved the pool, new dock, and water toys. Convenient to Hooper's Bay beach and Jolly Hall beach. Short drive from the airport. We wished we could stay longer!

Beautiful View and Great Location
Vista Del Mar is a beautiful property with stunning views. It’s in a great central location on the island. We arrived earlier than check-in time but were allowed in the house, and that was greatly appreciated. The interior of the house was very clean and decorated nicely. We did have some issues with the house, however. There were several leaks in the main house and one of the rooms downstairs has a door that does not close all the way to the floor. My son had to put towels and a bag down so the bugs did not come into the room. The pool was not serviced until three days after our arrival and tadpoles were swimming in the jacuzzi. Just be mindful that the two bottom floor bedrooms are not connected to the main house from the inside. You have to walk outside and down the side to access them. Jonas, the caretaker, was a very sweet man but told us he would do things and did not come through on his end. One example is bringing water. He told us he would bring some on the first day, and he did not until our final day. We reminded him on our third day, but the water was brought on day 5. He did not respond to my questions through text messages, but did pick up the phone when called. One amenity our children were looking forward to was the ping pong table, but the net was broken. For the price of the house, we were a bit disappointed. The kayaks were smelly and full of little critters. Didn’t look like they had been cleaned in a while.

Beautiful home, great location, Fab views!
We stayed at Vista Del Mar for our first trip to the Bahamas and it was wonderful! This home is spacious with soaring ceilings that add to the overall character of a home that is not cookie cutter vacation rental. A different layout, in a good way, with the master bedroom and two other bedrooms separated outside the main house. But the huge outdoor terrace was our favorite part! Overlooking a fantastic pool with an infinity edge looking over the incredible turquoise water in the bay!! Spectacular! We hired a chef for a night, coordinated by Jonas, and we enjoyed it. Make sure to double check the exact costs before you agree. Had some disprepency there but it wasnt Jonas's fault. Just a fantastic vacation and we would love to come back! Denise was extra quick to answer questions before and during our stay. We also appreciated the extras they have for guests...floats, kayaks, snorkeling gear, small cooler.. Very convenient!!

Vista Del Mar, Million Dollar Views!
Vista Del Mar is a really nice property, it’s located between Georgetown and Sandals Resort. Which makes it easy to go play golf at Sandals or go buy whatever groceries you may need from downtown Georgetown. We really enjoyed our trip, but did have a couple issues. One is that two of the bedrooms and laundry are downstairs and can only be reached from the outside of main house. The downstairs rooms are located right by the pool, which was dangerous for our small kid. It’s also a long walk from the lower rooms and laundry to get to the main house, especially when carrying a load of laundry. Second, the jacuzzi wasn’t operating the first three days when we arrived, and it was filthy. After being repaired, the jacuzzi tub still didn’t make bubbles or circulate the water, this was a disappointment. Third, the wifi was poor at best, the service would go in and out with low signal flashing, need new updated router. We had a lot of rain during the two weeks we rented this property and there were several leaks coming from the roof. Two leaks in the detached master bedroom, leak in the main bedroom and two leaks in the dining room. Other issues we had were dishwasher, broken pipe to the washing machine, and a couple bugs we saw in the detached master bedroom shower area. We notified the property manager and Jonás of all issues so they could repair. Thanks Jonás for your help in making our vacation a success!

Vista Del Mar exceeded our expectations! We drove up and were immediately met with a view that can only be summed up as BREATHTAKING. The water was amazing and was a different color every time you looked at it. The house was perfect and provided all the amenities we needed, along with plenty of space for us to separate into private areas. We enjoyed snorkeling from the shore! We saw turtles, a huge ray, fish, conchs, and the kids loved diving for sand dollars. Jonas had our fridge stocked with all the groceries and drinks that we requested, and was quick to respond to our needs. We will definitely return! Thank you for an amazing vacation! The kids kept saying we are "living rich!" Vista Del Mar will not disappoint!

Our family of 8 just spent a week at Vista Del Mar. The house was Beautiful and had everything we needed. This was our first time to Exuma and the location of the home is perfect to explore all of the island. The owners were great and Jonas met us at the airport to escort us to the house. I highly recommend this house. We will be back!

Just Beautiful!
The property & views were amazing! We have traveled many places but never has the water been so many shades of blue. We saw 3 sea turtles & stingrays right off the dock, a big shark even swam right under my feet. Can check that off the bucket list! All the beaches were near and pristine! Exuma Watersports trip was awesome! Jonas recommended Shirleys & Chat and Chill. I would skip Chat & Chill, we got there at 11AM when they were due to be open, they didn't open until noon & garbage was everywhere, they were understaffed & rude, we ended up leaving. The stingrays were fun to watch though! Shirleys shrimp po boy is a must! Highly recommend this property, just a few minor things that could be corrected. Jonas did not meet us at the airport as we were told & since I had no contact info for him prior to arriving it was a bit hectic, we had asked around for him for 20 min while we rented our cars, he did call us when we were in route to the house. I would recommend giving his number to your future guests before they arrive. The ping pong table that I inquired about before I booked did not have any balls. I went to the resort Hideaways & was able to buy some from them. Jonas did find some at a store & dropped them off 2 days later. The fridge was leaking water so we had to put down a towel to soak it up. Lastly there were no directions for the master bedroom TV, out of 7 adults not one of us could figure it out. We did have an amazing time, thank you! :)

The Perfect Location with the Best View!
Wow! We loved our stay at Vista Del Mar and are very thankful we found this house! The location (centrally located on the island), amenities (pool, dock, lots of social spaces), and bedroom set up (lots of options for our large group) really made this the perfect house for our trip. There was a large kitchen with a great set up for cooking. The house was very clean and we felt at home the minute we walked in the door. We would explore the island either by boat or by car each day and return in the late afternoon to enjoy swimming in the pool, snorkeling right off the dock, or soaking in the sunset with a wonderful breeze on the main level porch. The location of this house was absolutely perfect and I would definitely chose to stay here again. It was easy to get everywhere we wanted to go and the view was breathtaking. Jonas, the house manager, was so responsive and helpful before and during our stay. He had our groceries we ordered waiting for us and answered all of our questions while showing us around when we arrived. We are thankful for Jonas making our trip much easier. I would highly recommend this house and we are already looking forward to returning one day!

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Vista Del Mar. The views were stunning from everywhere on this property. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or villa to stay for our family of eight. We were so close to town yet felt like we were in the middle of paradise by ourselves. . There was plenty of room for everybody to spread out if they wanted to and lots of areas to gather together as well. We loved all the seating areas around the property The property manager Jonas was very receptive to all of our communication and was very helpful the entire trip. We would highly recommend this property and hope to return soon!
