"The Cut Pearl" - Stunning Private Beachfront/Oceanfront Villa On Little Exuma

This 5 Bedroom, 4 Bath Villa has beautiful oceanfront views and a private beach. You will enjoy beautifully appointed bathrooms with tile showers, separate tubs and double vanities that have been completely renovated in 2016. All linens, bath towels, beach towels soaps and shampoo are supplied throughout.
There is a very large fully equipped kitchen and adjacent dining area with seating for 12. You can also choose to eat outdoors at the table on the covered porch.

Rest assured with the recent addition of a second air conditioning unit you will be very comfortable in every room of the house. A full house automatic generator is our newest addition to offset those unexpected island power outages. You won't even know the power went out.
Wash the salt away after relaxing on your beach with water from our brand new state of the art fresh water system. The system provides pure drinking and bathing water throughout the property. (not something you always find in island locations). Enjoy the large covered patio while relaxing on chaise lounges or rocking chairs.
What sets The Cut Pearl apart is the spacious luxury and views. Our new patio and covered pavilion add more vantage points of the breathtaking views of the bluest water on earth. This is the most relaxing place in the world free from crowds and distractions. Be aware that the beach can significantly fluctuate mainly during hurricane season according to the tides and the winds.
4 Kayaks are provided with snorkel gear and life jackets. Spend your day fishing, diving, snorkeling, boating, hiking or just exploring the most incredible beaches you will ever see.

Wonderful house on a semi-private beach
Our family of 6 had a fantastic stay here. The semi-private beach will rival any of the best beaches in the Caribbean. The house was clean and comfortable. There is a very well stocked dive room in the house with snorkel gear, kids toys, floats, coolers. The house is 25 minutes from Georgetown but wasn’t an issue As activities, we did Minns (recommended) and TT Watersports (not worth it given this house has kayaks)

Family Christmas Trip
Andy, I can’t say enough good things about him. From communication prior to arrival giving us ample information and details to checking in throughout the trip with additional insider info that he and Mrs. Loren have accumulated over their years here. The property was beyond beautiful. Described to a T. Many more kitchen amenities than we have had in many other vrbo rentals. The beach gear storage room was such a huge benefit. We took full advantage of the chairs, ice chests, masks, snorkels, life jackets, flippers, kayaks, and noodles. The mattresses were superb. Waking up in paradise and not having to loosen up these joints was a very unexpected surprise.

We Love The Cut Pearl
This was our 2nd year in a row spending the Christmas week at the Cut Pearl. The house is super nice and very spacious. Our group of 8 had lots of room and everyone loved their accommodations. The beach is amazing and the view is stunning. Andy, the owner is very accessible and helpful. We love The Cut Pearl and hope to return again soon.

The photos don't show just how much space and view this property has. It was fabulous, super-well-stocked with everything you could need or want from kayaks, floats, snorkels and coolers to sunscreen, paper towels, comfortable beds and quality sheets, a huge back porch with quality furniture and priceless view. There was no beach due to the tide while we visited which was totally fine. Water was gorgeous for swimming and snorkeling. Getting in and out of the water on rough days is a bit treacherous as you have to crawl over a few rocks (that are NOT slippery and do have good grip but still tough when waves hit), but we all swam daily. It's about 20 min to Georgetown. We cooked and ate at the house a lot and enjoyed the privacy. We rented a boat for three days so we used those days to explore all the island has to offer - stingrays, turtles, starfish, etc - and enjoyed the other days largely around this fabulous house. There was more than enough room for 8 - we could easily have added more. The power does go out very frequently and the generator came in clutch - super, super valuable! Highly recommend.

Gorgeous views, deceptive listing
This was listed as beach front and the listing photos must have been photo shopped. Getting to the water was difficult and if not at absolute low tide was dangerous. There were steps down to a boulder and jagged rock covered shoreline. I would no way call it a beach. While I found out that there was no one in before our arrival and no one coming in immediately after, we had a landscape crew onsite Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm running weedwhackers ALL DAY it seemed to be the goal of the crew was to remove every piece of anything green. Additionally, on our first night, while star gazing, we see headlights coming up the drive. I get around to the front and 2 guys are there, hood up on a mini van, using the hose on the front to add water to their radiator. I ask "can I help you?" answer "No we are good, the property manager told us it was ok to be here." REALLY ? The only real good thing to come out of "service" was one night we went to use the gas grill, the propane tank was empty, contacted manager and a replacement tank was onsite within 20 minutes. We had a major indoor flying ant infestation on our final night, gross and disgusting. On a note of caution outside and under no control of the property, the roads headed out of Georgetown leading to and in Little Exuma are extremely horrible and dangerous. There are potholes that will flip your car. If true pictures were on the listing, we would not have chosen to stay here, very deceptive.

Great stay in Little Exuma…
My family and I really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The property owner was very communicative and helpful. The home had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The beach out back was wonderful. There are two nearby beaches which were spectacular too. We very much enjoyed this house and Little Exuma.

Loved it!
We really enjoyed our time at the Cut Pearl, the house had everything we needed and more, we love and try to visit Exuma at least once a year but this was our first time staying at a property in little Exuma and we loved it! We visited different beautiful beaches but our favorite place to swim was the one in front the house, there’s not a lot of beach area during high tide and is rocky but the water was absolutely beautiful, we swam, kayaked and had a great time! The ocean view from different areas of house is absolutely breathtaking, since we’re somewhat familiar w the area we know sometimes there are power outages but the house had a generator so we didn’t have to go without it. Looking forward to stay again at the Cut Pearl in the future.

Private paradise
The Cut Pearl has every amenity you can think of. Beds and living area furniture are comfy, and plenty of deck seating. Our beach area was very private, gorgeous views, and several kayaks for us to use. We had a couple of minor issues due to heavy rains during the week, but the owners and caretaker were very responsive and arranged repair right away.

This villa has a fantastic view of the sea off Little Exhuma Island from the villa's rear deck/patio area. It is simply breath-taking. Everyone connected to the property responded quickly to our communications and acted on them. The villa had some minor plumbing issues BUT they were taken care of immediately. The area is beautiful, the villa clean, comfortable and well decorated. Finally, The beach below the villa is beautiful, easily reached, and provided our family reunion hours to fun in the sun. The kayaks, beach chairs and snorkeling gear is all in good shape. I recommend it at the highest level.

The house and view were nothing less than beautiful. Quiet location that is near several beautiful beaches and great food. Amenities at the house along with the responsiveness and friendliness of the owner and caretakers really set the property apart. We had two families staying in the home and there was plenty of room without tripping over each other. The beach at the bottom of the stairs was days of fun in the sun. You will love your stay here!

Our new favorite location !!
We just returned from the beautiful Little Exuma. The Cut Pearl was an amazing home. We had multiple families and it never felt crowded. The set up is perfect for this. The views are unbelievable and photos just don’t do it justice. The waters off Exuma are breathtaking and the best water anywhere I have been. Andy the owner was awesome and checked in multiple times to make sure all was fine. His information prior to the trip is super informative and gives you all you need to have a memorable trip beyond your expectations. We had dinner one night at the house from a private chef and used Luther as our driver for the week and he was great and took such good care of us. We will definitely be back!! Thank you Andy for a trip we will be talking about for years to come!!

Awesome experience and beautiful home
The house was beautiful. The view was spectacular. Plenty of room for some our extended family of 12 to sleep peacefully while others played and for whole family to be together when we wanted to play or eat. Andy was awesome with communication and letting us know what to expect. House had everything we needed mainly snorkels, beach chairs and coolers so we didn’t have to rent/buy on island. Everything g we needed was there - great rental. Would definitely rent property again.
