PARADISE- close beaches, town, bonefishing ,360 degree view, 73 5 star reviews

Get away from it all! A very spacious house with 1800 square feet inside plus a large wrap around deck.Breathtaking views of the Atlantic and Caribbean ...Experience Great Exuma from the comfort and privacy of the Hummingbird House and enjoy stunning 360 degree views of the colorful waters of Elizabeth Harbor, Master Harbor, Crab Cay and the south side bone fish flats. We are located only two miles from Moriah Harbour National Sea Park. Soak up the sun and revel in the mild maritime climate of the cays while making this well appointed refuge your own, with space for parties of up to 6 guests. Lush tropical foliage surrounds this centrally located property that offers easy access to the bone fish flats by foot but there is no beach there per se ; take a 10 minute drive to Georgetown or to access beaches. Or stay in and enjoy the unique open floor plan of the upper floor: a fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining room areas and 2 covered, elevated porches connected by a walk around deck space. The upper floor also contains a single bedroom and half bath as well as a day bed in the living room that sleeps 1 guest. Downstairs you’ll find spacious king and queen bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, and the house laundry room. Wake up to the tranquil sounds of hummingbirds and bananaquits that frequent the tropical gardens surrounding the house.

The house is located 20 minutes or less( BY CAR )from the beautiful southern beaches, including Hooper's Bay, Jolly Hall, Stocking Island, Forbes Hill and the world famous Tropic of Cancer (voted among the top ten beaches of the world by “Island Living” magazine) and Pretty Molly Bay Beach. The bonefish flats, known for world-class fishing, are a ten minute walk away...wade into bonefish and do your own thing and the Moriah Harbour Cay National Park is minutes away by car. These waters are fabulous for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling and other water sports. Please note we are off the beaten path and Exuma roads are not great. We use a small Honda but you may want to consider an SUV.

The private location of this house provides the perfect getaway for those seeking peace and tranquility despite being close to several restaurants and the amenities of the quaint town of George Town. Whether you enjoy relaxing, golfing, bird watching, beach combing, fishing, water sports or night life, the Hummingbird House is your home away from home for enjoying all the cays have to offer. We purchased the home in December 2013 so we have just started renting the house. Everyone has really enjoyed their stay so far. Please contact us if we can provide more information and ask about stays for longer than one month.

**We do have a well that is treated with chlorine but the quality of the water in the Exuma aquifer can vary with storms and run off so we do not drink the water. We suggest drinking only bottled water on the island . There is a 5 gallon water jug in the pantry if you would like to use . Please refill if used . The water refill store, Naturally Fresh , is located about a mile north of the house before Cheaters Restaurant and it is $4 for 5 gallons which is a reasonable way to go.

We do offer a discount for stays 30 days or longer. Please ask for more information. GUESTS MUST BE 25 OLD UNLESS WITH PARENTS. We do not refund due to hurricanes but guests can use their credit for a future stay. We encourage travel insurance during the storm months.

Our house is very private. We use an enhanced cleaning and sanitizing protocol. We have excellent WIFI and food delivery can be arranged...sequester in paradise if you like.

Outstanding Exuma Adventure!
The Hummingbird House was a perfect homebase as we explored. The views from the wrap around deck are stunning. Margaret was a great host and very helpful, communicating with us and answering questions we had. We will always remember our time at The Hummingbird House, the beautiful water and delicious food.

Our own piece of paradise
From the moment we booked until we checked out Margaret was wonderful to work with and she quickly responded to any questions. Hummingbird house has incredible views and it off the beaten path. The location of the home in Great Exuma was great especially since our favorite beach is only 20 minutes away (Forbes Hill). We felt like we were in our own little world and heard nothing but nature. We were able to enjoy watching all of the birds and also stayed covered when the rain rolled in. The home was perfect for our family and the kitchen is well equipped. We also took advantage of the grill on numerous occasions which was great after a long day exploring. We made many memories on this trip. Thank you Margaret for sharing your home with us!

Hummingbird Heaven
I just can’t say enough about our wonderful stay at Hummingbird House. We made our reservation about a year in advance and then needed to ask to make changes twice. Margaret was always quick to answer our messages and was extremely accommodating and extremely nice about it. So appreciated! We felt well prepared with all the info that was sent to us about the house and the area. The house was clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. It was lovely to have paper products to get started and to not have to pack beach towels in our luggage. The house is adorable! We loved being able to spend the day at the beach and then drive the hill to the house and relax on the amazing wrap around porch. The views are beautiful and we loved the visits by all the birds and checking out cool insects. We felt like we got a full island experience. If we are lucky enough to return to this beautiful island we would not hesitate to stay here again. ❤️

My family and I stayed here for 9 nights. The house is off the beaten path, but you feel like a local fast. The view feels like paradise. The house is a short drive to all the beaches we visited. We felt safe and comfortable. Margaret was an excellent communicator. And the house had everything we needed. We can’t wait until we can return. Thank you!

Friendly Exuma
The property is beautiful in every way. Margaret is extremely helpful. Views from balcony are fabulous. We stayed here for a month, so experienced almost everything Exuma had to offer, from the most bluest water you'll ever see, to the friendly island people. If your looking for a very, very nice place to stay, ( this is it ) !

Wow! The View!
Great hidden gem located close to Georgetown. Margaret was amazing and responded quickly to all of my messages and questions. My husband and 2 other friends stayed in Hummingbird house for 5 nights. the views from the front and back of the house are so beautiful. The home had everything we needed for a perfect little getaway. We ate in a couple of nights grilling out and enjoying those amazing views. The roads getting there are a little rough, but we rented a van and didn't have any problems. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and for the price, you can't beat it. Thank you so much Maragaret & Mike for sharing your lovely home with us.

Clean, Inviting, and Accommodating Rental
My friends and I (group of 5) loved this house in Exuma. It was extremely cozy and quiet in the area at night. We spent most nights on the deck laughing and talking about how amazing our trip was. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The house was extremely clean, accommodating, and inviting. I definitely would recommend this house if you want a peaceful quiet place to relax after your long days exploring Exuma.
