Nouvelle Villa Sunrise directement sur la plage à Hoopers Bay

We are a French Canadian couple from Montreal. We purchased this property as a retirement plan. After traveling the world for many years in search of our paradise, we settled for Great Exuma which met all of our needs and more, as described below.

We love Great Exuma for the thousands of mesmerizing blues of the water, the powdery white and coral sand beaches, the incredible sunrise and sunsets, the amazing Bahamians, Out Islanders and Exumians (some say they're all different and special in their own way) as well as the foreigners who settled here years ago or the tourists who discovered this well kept secret.

When we are here, we enjoy snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, boating and kite boarding but also just relaxing on our own private beach, reading or napping in our hammock or Adirondak chairs, making a great frozen local drink, watching the sun rise and set every day and glazing at the deep black night sky and its thousands of visible stars.

We chose Hoopers Bay for its natural beauty and location. The bay is renowned for its crystal-clear turquoise shallow waters that shimmer under the tropical sun, creating a breathtaking contrast against the soft, white sandy beaches and the gentle waves that lap the shore.

It is also facing full North, offering a constant refreshing breeze but most importantly, on each end of the beach, jaw dropping sunrises and sunsets.

Surrounded by lush tropical vegetation, Hoopers Bay provides a picturesque backdrop where palm trees sway gracefully in the warm breeze, offering shade and a sense of tranquility. The area is home to a diverse array of marine life, making it a paradise for snorkeling and swimming. Colorful fish dart in and out of coral reefs, while the occasional sea turtle glides through the pristine waters.

The sound of nature, from the rustling leaves and palms to the calls of seabirds, adds to the idyllic Caribbean ambiance.

However, lets not forget the Hoopers Bay community of locals, expats and tourists whom we regularly meet during our daily strolls on the beach, in grocery stores, or at one of the local restaurants. It's interesting to see that Hoopers Bay tends to attract like-minded people who, while being extremely different, share similar values and aspirations for themselves, humanity and our planet.

PS It is worth noting that Hoopers Bay is one of the few beaches where you can swim no matter the weather (almost ;-)) and that never disappears or washes away because of the tides or waves. It is protected by an inlet and many offshore cays, but also by a healthy dune, protected by the Hoopers Bay community, which keeps the sand still for all to enjoy. As you will see on other beaches, many home owners either removed the dune, built atop or built sea walls which accelerate erosion and devoid them from their beach in a matter of months.

Four Turtles Villas is unique because it is right on the beach and in the middle of Hoopers Bay. Our house also has about 50 feet of elevation which offers fantastic views (beach, sea, coconuts, tropical gardens, etc.) and a delightful breeze day and night.

We live on 1 acre of curated tropical gardens which give us fresh fruits and beautiful flowers year round - thanks to Alex, our gardener.

We enjoy the fact that we are walking distance from two (2) grocery stores, a liquor store, a pharmacy, a couple of local restaurants, and - not that you will need them but - a botanist, a hardware, lumber and paint store, and a soon to be marina.

We like to explore beyond and appreciate that Four Turtles Villas is located within 15 minutes (by boat or car) of almost everything there is to see! In fact, most of the time, we don't even rent a car, and just walk, cab or boat/sail around.

All this and so many other elements makes Four Turtles Villas a one of kind fantastic place for your vacation.
