Find Castles in Long Island

"If you are considering a trip to Exuma, this is the only property you should be considering. What makes this house so special is it has everything. The location, the space, an owner who is involved and a team in Exuma that is the best team I have ever experienced. From my first contact to my departure, the team at Blue Lagoon was on top of every single one of my requests. We spend a long weekend there to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The staff set up everything. When I say everything, I mean everything. Food was fully stocked when we arrived. Beautiful charcuterie boards and champagne waiting for us. I forgot to add ice to my list but they knew we would need it so picked it up...they just know what you want and need! The next day, they arranged a boat to pick us up literally at our back door. We walked outside and there was a boat to take us all over to some of the most beautiful spots and to pig island then dropped us back off right at our door step. The next day, I texted Larissa and asked if there was any chance she could get us some jet skis. Within an hour, we had jet skis delivered right to our back door. But the highlight was the birthday party. I asked for a birthday part on the beach with chef dinner, DJ, bartender...the works. Larissa did no disappoint. To be able to have a party like that in a location like that was something I would never have imagined. I have so much more to say but I'm out of characters! THE BEST!!!!!!!!"

"The location is absolutely beautiful. Enough seclusion to enjoy the stay but very close proximity to grocery and a few restaurants. The property owner is wonderful and very helpful/easy to communicate with. 5 stars all around!"

"A great get away, peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the larger islands. We can’t thank Shay, Anais and Dez enough as they all went above and beyond to make our stay very memorable."

"Enjoyed the property, especially the convenient location. Great beach for walking. The porch is where we spent most of our time at the house."

"I rented Rick and Jodi’s house with a girlfriend to celebrate her 50th with a week of relaxation. This beautiful home on a private beach with crystal clear water and white sand provided exactly that! The house was spotless and provided everything we needed, from cooking supplies to an entire garage full of beach equipment. The house is perched just up a walkway from the white-sand beach that’s easily accessible. There’s a small coral reef a short swim off shore that we explored daily—saw lion fish, sea stars, anemones, turtles and a rainbow of tropical fish. Rick was always available for questions and recommendations and navigating the home was easy with clear instructions everywhere. We rented a boat with Off Island Boat Tours and Captain Chris was the best. We also had excellent deep-tissue massages from Rick’s recommended massage therapist. I can honestly say this was the best vacation I’ve had yet and my friend and I are both going back with our families and renting Rick’s house again!"

"We loved staying in this beautiful beach house! It was perfect for our family. We loved the pool area and beach to paddleboard and kayak. The location was great to visit other parts of Exuma and little Exuma. We traveled to several different beaches in the area and a few restaurants for dinner. The house had every single thing we needed for the week. The owners have thought of everything. The pool floats, chairs, toys were such a great extra that we weren’t expecting. The kitchen is fully stocked and we were able to comfortably make breakfast and lunch at the house each day. I would highly recommend this house to friends and family. It was very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated."

"This was the first time that my husband and I have been in the Bahamas. The Exuma Islands are amazing! We are super-happy with our stay at Bella Vista. The view was beyond expectation, and the location could not have been better. The unit was very clean and well equipped. We had everything we needed. The staff at the Hideaways are very helpful and friendly. The packet that we received from Michael and Roseann as soon as we booked was very useful. Michael and Roseanne were always quick to reply to any questions we had before and during our stay. We would definitely recommend Bella Vista. Thank you for a great experience."

"Beautiful house and amazing views!!"

"We chose the Villas for a destination wedding to share a special time with our families. The property is surrounded by beautiful blue waters- Serene and peaceful. The Villas are equipped with everything you need- and then some to make it extra convenient. The furniture is just right, cozy blankets, float pump and big grill were an extra great touch. Oh and life jackets too! We enjoyed the kayaks and exploring the small islands… and seeing the resident sea turtle pop his head up each day! They thought of everything to make the experience easy- leaving you needing for nothing - aside from some of Chef Shariqua’s delicious cooking!! Highly recommend some meals with Shariqua. We had an amazing experience -"
