Rolletown Retreat is a wonderful place to enjoy all the spectacular things that Exuma has to offer. The house is very clean and cozy. The beach and water are right there, and with Man of War Cay directly across you can use the paddle board and kayaks to explore for hours. We will definitely stay at Rolletown Retreat many more times.
You cannot beat the location and the view from the house. There is a small private beach right next to the house for easy use of the kayaks and paddle board provided. The house had everything we needed for cooking. We will definitely stay here again.
This is a great little house with a fantastic view! It was very quiet and had everything my husband and I needed. The small beach is a few steps away and my husband and I enjoyed drinking coffee on the beach every morning. We saw a turtle and jellyfish right off the beach and kayaked to the cat right across the water. The house was clean and Samuel was very responsive. I did not want to leave and would definitely stay here again!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rolle Retreat. Samuel and Uncle James were both very helpful and communicative, and the check-in process was easy. The house's private beach and having access to a kayak to explore Man-O-War Key and the surrounding sandbars right from the house, was such an amazing bonus. We saw turtles, rays, small sharks, and lots of fish. If you are looking for a simple, restful retreat this place is perfect. Exuma is small but we'd highly recommend renting a car (Uncle James can help with this) as the retreat is not walking distance from anything. A couple of things to expect â Get some water before you go to the house as you need to bring in your own water. There are large bottles to refill and a pump there. Also, the power will go out once in a while. It never went out for long but it did go out a few times while we were there. Watch for potholes if you do drive, especially at night. They could swallow your car. All and all, we'd definitely come back!
Incredible location to explore via kayak some of the most beautiful waters on the planet!
No frills, but super clean with everything you need to enjoy Man O War and Moriah.
Perfect place for a serene vacation with the most spectacular view. Everything was just as described. I am booking again for next year! The location provided the perfect amount of privacy with the walkability to two great places to eat on Haulover bay. We saw turtles, baby lemon sharks, stingrays and lots of fish. It's been a long time since I have been that relaxed!
We were staying with my wife for 2 weeks at the beach house. We are experienced kayakers and we were exploring the local little islands and cays by kayak every day. We just wanted to slow down and relax, after the fast paste living in New York. We came back very happy.
This property was perfect for our stay. The house came with kayaks and Kayaking over to Man a War Cay was a highlight in our trip. We found 70 sand dollars in one day just exploring along with stingrays. The location is close to Little Exuma which in our opinion had the prettiest beaches. The house was perfect for our needs.
Home is very much as advertised. Samuel did a good job of communicating with us. This house fit our needs very well but is definitely a bare bones simple house. Neighbors are very friendly and we will definitely go back.
We had the best time at Samuel's place. The view from the window is spectacular. There is a great little beach we had all to ourselves. The house had everything we needed and was clean and tidy. We will definitely be back! Samuel and his Uncle were very accommodating and responded to all our questions and provided assistance if needed. We used the provided kayak to go to man o war key and explore! Such fun and great location.
My husband and I stayed at Rolle Town Retreat for the 3rd time since November. The area is our favorite in Exuma...the color and clarity of the water, the beaches and sandbars, the friendly locals, proximity to Georgetown, restaurants nearby. We were lucky enough to stay for 8 nights this time and enjoyed every moment of it! We come here to escape the hustle and bustle of South Florida, enjoy the outdoors, appreciate simple things, and of course...the Exuma water, nothing compares! Rolle Town Retreat checks all of our boxes! The owner and caretaker, Sam and James, are awesome, very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back soon!!!
We stayed at 4 different locations during our 23 day stay in Exuma. There were 3 of us and we all agree that once you get there (which is rough)âŠRTR was our favorite location on the island! We LOVED spending time every day on the mostly private beach which is a short walk from the house. Used the two person kayak and paddle board to explore other islands which was amazing!! The home needs some updating but is clean and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. We forgot some of our personal items at the house and Samuel, James and Mrs Beneby went out of their way to get them back to us. We would only stay at RTR on our next visit to Exuma!
We rented this property for four nights in November. The home is no frills, clean and comfortable, with all the basic amenities one would need. The AC works great in bedrooms and we always had nice hot showers! The best part was the fantastic quiet location and private beach. The area is very very safe with the property manager, James, living just around the corner in the charming historic village of Rolle Town. The owner, Samuel, was very communicative, helpful and quick to respond. There is a two man kayak to explore the natural reserve of Moriah Harbour with itâs breathtaking beaches and sandbars. Recommend bringing a dry bag and dry cooler bag to spend the entire day taking in beauty that awaits. Georgetown is only about 10 minutes away. There are also a couple of restaurants within minutes. James has a very nice small SUV for rent, which we definitely recommend. If simplicity, nature and good value is your thing look no further! We are already planning a return in March. Thank you Samuel and James!!!
It was a really good get away. The property has changed from the photos. There is now a neighbor and a road running between the houses but it is still fairly secluded which is what was most important to us. The only traffic in the area are boats passing by. This was our first vacation outside of the US and we learned that our expectations need to be different. We learned to "Rolle" with it. Conveniences, luxuries, amenities, and hosting standards are different. Once we settled in we were happy to experience the culture and the easy way of living. We will without a doubt come back. We saw more sea creatures and life just off the small beach there than anywhere else on the island. Being right next to the water and having an outdoor shower was so nice, i even went snorkeling in the rain because it was so easy to access. James is a very reliable and timely person to pick you up from the airport and help when you need it. The 2 restaurants that are with in walking distance had good food and good people. Haulover bay restaurant had really good customer service.
This was a good rental house experience for our stay on Great Exuma. The a/c in the living room and one of the bedrooms worked beautifully and kept us very comfortable. The a/c doesn't work in the other bedroom, but because the other two worked so well, that didn't matter. There's a washing machine that works great! Hang your clothes on the clothesline to dry. Not enough towels for the four of us for more than a day, so we just made sure to wash them every day. The sun dried the towels pretty quickly. The house has a few unfinished pieces, but overall, so, so comfortable. At night, after a day of boating, etc., we'd snuggle up as a family on the couch and watch Netflix on the TV, then go sit on the reclining chairs in the rocky front yard to star-gaze. Beautiful! The road is rocky and unpaved, so take it slow! The house is at the end of the road, so it is very private and quiet. There's a little beach called Bryana Beach right in front of the house. Just take the path. It is publicly accessible, but very few people come to it. The beach is so much fun to have right there--very small beach with coral rock on both sides. Lots of wildlife nearby including the MANY hermit crabs that come out at night. Amazing, beautiful view of Man o War cay! You can take the kayak across to the cay and explore. We enjoyed our time there.
The property is same as pictures and description. Very remote. Nothing fancy but everything to meet your needs. Living room and both bedrooms have a mini split AC that definetly gets cold. All the cooking supplies and kitchen accessories that you need. We used the washing machine and hung our towels/clothes around the house and theyâd be dry by morning. Clothes line outside if you prefer (neighbor dog however got off of his tie down one night and stole our towels off the line and chewed some up). Heâs a sweet guy though. Haulover restaurant is at the entrance to the driveway. Nothing fancy. We rented a car and it was right side steering wheel and you drive on left side of road. Expect your food and gas to be 2-3 times what you pay at home. We found out while we were there that the rental house is part of the national park so you cannot fish from the house. We had a blast snorkeling and paddle boarding though. Rented a boat one day from Minns but with all boat rentals you have a boundary you have to stay in because of sandbars (so they donât have to come tow people constantly). If you want to go swim with the pigs and sharks itâs a long ways from the property so youâll have to hire someone to take you. We had the most fun at Stocking Island (Chat and Chill as well as Da Sandbar). The water is HEAVEN. We didnât have a problem with mosquitoes and no-seeums like Iâve read many people do. Beware beds are hard and sheets donât stay on. We rented mid-May.
This place is an unbeatable value, especially if you are wanting to self explore Moriah Cay. Some of the best access to one of the most beautiful section of water in the Caribbean and beyond. House was as described and functions great as a home base to explore either Greater or Little Exuma. Would not hesitate to stay again.
Perfect basic stay for those who want to experience Exuma. Rolletown retreat has everything you need to live comfortably for a week and is in close proximity to tons of beaches on Exuma!
