Location was remote, but the private beach was absolute heaven. The island of Exuma itself is absolutely gorgeous. The water is great. Worth renting a boat. The house had everything you needed. Property manager was super responsive. There is construction going on next-door though and the roads are very bumpy to get there⊠we had a great time!
We very much enjoyed our stay. The property is exceptional. Two master suites, a wonderful pool, great and well-outfitted kitchen and great beach access. None of our negatives involved the property itself, but they're worth considering. Bugs can be terrible. Several of us ended up with many itchy bites. Bug spray and/or baby oil can mitigate this. But the property is also remote and on really rough roads. It's 30-35 minutes to groceries, and at least 20 minutes to most restaurants.
The house was great we went from the pool to the beach all day. The hot tub was so relaxing. The chef service was awesome!! A nice place stay if you want to relax.
The Silver Palms Villa was perfect for our group! Beautiful property with top notch accommodations all around. The pool and beach were wonderful. We spent a lot of time in the Gazebo overlooking the ocean. We also explored the island a little bit by car and boat. The owners and the house manager were very good about communicating with us and making sure we had everything we need.
We will be back!
Everything was as advertised, but nothing could truly prepare for the total experience. This retreat for 5 couples was a celebration of my wife's birthday, but also a chance to celebrate great friends and God's provision. It was spectacular. The property owners (Mark & Deb) were terrific - communicative, prompt, and thorough. The house manager, Judy, and her family (Dana & Ieasha) were amazing. We splurged and had them cook dinner for us 4 nights, and each night were delighted with the meal. Delicious! We also had them provide regular cleaning, and they were thorough and excellent. The weather didn't really allow much on the ocean; it was too rough for kayaking or snorkeling, but no one cared at all. The views were perfect, the pool was excellent, and it was exactly the trip we hoped it would be.
This property is truly amazing! The house has everything you could possibly need-fully stocked kitchen with spices and gadgets, comfy furniture to lounge on, the beds and linens are tough to beat. This sprawling house was more than enough space for our party of 10 adults. It was so nice taking the Kayaks out on the gorgeous ocean right on the property. The hosts were very helpful with tons of great recommendations and Judy the PM was responsive and helpful. The chefs she helped organize for us were fantastic! The only disappointment was having to leave this amazing property. We will definitely be staying here again.
Beautiful tastefully decorated house on a private beach with amazing outdoor space! Loved it!
Owners were quick to respond to any questions and concerns we had. Property manager was helpful with arranging meals, transportation and pre stocking groceries.
Our family of grandchildren to grandparents had a wonderful stay. We most enjoyed the privacy and breathtaking view. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We made some great memories. We are already planning our next trip to Exuma!
Wonderful visit from beginning to end. Beautiful oceanfront views of blue water. Judy is one of the best property managers ever. Delicious chef prepared dinners and answers to every question.
We went to Exuma to celebrate my 40th birthday with a group of 10, plus one toddler. The home was beautiful and well equipped with everything we needed! Check in was easy and Judy, the house manager, was very responsive to all our questions. The beach at the house is pristine and quiet (make sure to check out the stars at night!). The road to the home is a bit bumpy towards the end but it is well worth it! I'd highly recommend staying here!
Silver Palms is absolutely a beautiful place to stay on a private beach. This is by far the best VRBO house I have ever stayed at with the communication before the trip and services provided by Judy, the house manager. Judy provided three dinners for us at the house that were exceptional. We will definitely be back.
We had a great time at Silver Palms Villa. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed Exuma. Judy was very helpful and booked us wonderful excursions. Pool and view are great. If you go, don't miss Preston's Sky Juice down at the Exuma Yacht Club in Georgetown, it can't be beat!
This villa wa AMAZING! 9 adults and 2 littles and it was comfortable, modern, even better than the pictures! Chef Nancy prepared a beautiful lobster and grouper dinner for us and it was delicious! Would come back again and again!
We had the absolute best time at this beautiful property! I loved the owner's decor style (straight out of a Pottery Barn catalog!). And the beautiful beach! It all felt like a dream! Great location close to Santana's and Tropic Breeze. Only "complaint" is that the road to get to the house is a little rough, but it seems like the area where the house is located is being developed! I loved being able to walk to the Tropic of Cancer beach and grab a quick lunch. Just an absolutely perfect experience! My family will never forget it!
Silver Sands is a little slice of heaven. The beach the house is located on is stunning and ultra private. We pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves the whole trip. Water is crystal clear, and sand is so soft. We were two families with 5 children (ages 4-10) and the house setup couldnât have been more perfect. The house comes fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for the beach, pool, cooking & relaxing. We wound love to return to this beautiful property and island again soon! We loved the privacy of the home. Make sure to stock up on groceries, and if you plan to go to restaurants take into account the days and hours restaurants are open in advance. There are three well known good ones a short drive from the property. The owners are lovely and provided lots of great recommendations in advance of the trip. Book it, you wonât regret it!
The property is beyond words beautiful! Our family stayed there to celebrate my 75th birthday and the surprise was on my them as I had not told them where we were staying. They expected the usual resort and got far more than that.
The only cons: the last bit of road is treacherous but getting there was so worth it. The no-see-ems were beyond bad and even with repellent we all got chewed up. Even with that we would not have traded the wonderful experience.
This property is truly a tropical paradise! The beach, pool area and home were all 5 stars. The home is well decorated and maintained. The outdoor pool/ patio/ cabana area has ample space and seating as well as a good selection of pool accessories. The beach area has gorgeous white, soft sand and is very private.
The property is remote, itâs quite a drive to most supplies and activities. But, the property manager is very helpful with getting in the provisions you might need.
Debbie and I first set foot on Exuma in January, 2015 and quickly fell in love with the island. We'd rented a great friend's property on Little Exuma and had heard about the turquoise color of the ocean, the powder white sand, the people, the relaxed atmosphere, but being there to experience it first hand impacted us in ways we hadn't imagined, there was no turning back.
Having fallen in love with Exuma, we began looking for oceanfront property to build our home in the spring of 2015. We viewed properties on the south and north side of the island, on both Great Exuma and Little Exuma and decided after seeing most of the island, Little Exuma was where we wanted to be because of it's natural beauty and the relaxed, friendly and peaceful atmosphere we experienced. We wanted beachfront property and we were fortunate enough to find and acquire our 1/2 acre beachfront piece of paradise on the ocean, in a setting that offered wonderful privacy nestled among native Silver Thatch Palm Trees, while at same time being part of a community of beautiful surrounding estate villa's. We broke ground in December, 2016 and were ready to share our new villa with guests starting Dec 15, 2017
Private, beachfront setting, breathtaking ocean views, close to local ocean side restaurants, villa is spacious with large central Great Room and infinity pool with grand surrounding deck and all the amenities we could think of to offer our guests a one of a kind Exuma, Bahamas vacation experience. Luxurious finishing with upscale Pottery barn furniture and decor. Check in is at 4pm and check out is at 11am. Weekly rentals are from Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday. We will try to accommodate other options if it is possible. Please contact us and we will do our best. Due to the Caribbean environment, we cannot guarantee weather, wind, sand shift with tide changes that may happen on occasion.
