Amazing!!!
This was our first trip to Exuma and we absolutely fell in love! The apartment was perfect for our family of three! Upon arrival, Jean and Claudia immediately made us feel welcome and at home! The apartment was very clean and smelled so nice! They even had fresh fruit and preserves waiting for us in the refrigerator! The apartment was well stocked with kitchen necessities, bathroom necessities and bug spray! They also had plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, floats, etc for us to use! The beach in front of the apartment is beautiful and easy to access. They have kayaks that we enjoyed using to go out to the sandbar! The apartment has breathtaking views of the water! We loved being able to sit in our bed, drink coffee and see the gorgeous views! We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment and loved getting to meet Jean and Claudia! We highly recommend this beautiful place!

Great Base to Explore From
Jacqueline and Jean-Louis were great hosts, greeting us in person upon arrival and bidding us safe travels upon departure. They were more than happy to help out in any way they could, with information and contacts (like going to Hoopers Bay to find turtles - and we did!), or addressing the hiccups of island life (e.g. waking up to a flat tire on the rental car). The property speaks for itself and the views are amazing - there is nothing like the turquoise waters of the Exumas! The kayaks they provided allowed us to explore the cays a couple of kilometers offshore (Mosquito Cay was awesome, with a hidden gem of a beach on the southside, and we even saw a couple of young sharks). We found the property to be a great base from which to explore Little/Great Exuma, from the beautiful Tropic of Cancer Beach in the south to Exuma Point Beach in the north. Plans for a future trip are already underway! Thanks Jacqueline and Jean-Louis!

Sons 21st Birthday and Open water dives in Exuma
We had an absolutely beautiful time! This little slice of heaven is just as described. Jacqueline and Jean Louis are excellent hosts and made our stay extra special. Excellent communication and tips to make our trip enjoyable including maximizing our time and helping us to secure an additional day of diving with Exuma Divers. The views, amenities, kayaks and star gazing made it spectacular! We comfortably fit in the 2 bedroom suite accommodation on the send floor, but would consider coming back with the rest of our kids and renting the adorable lower unit with private patio and screened porch and having the entire house. Conveniently located mid island to accommodate activities up and down the island from the Pig swimming up north down to little Exuma south. We can’t wait to go back.

Gorgeous View
We were not disappointed in this glorious view. The apt is perfect for 2 couples traveling together. The split plan offers the perfect amount of privacy. Jean-Louis and Jaqueline are very kind hosts. As said by previous guests, the road coming into the property is horrendous. You must go 5 mph through ruts and potholes. However, it lands you in the most beautiful spot. The apt has a large welcoming terrace that we could not use in the evening due to the insects. I would suggest screening it in to allow full use of the terrace. Also there is a water pressure issue in the MBR on-suite that needs to be addressed. This did not dampen our enjoyment of the property. Just remember, this is not a commercial island. We brought provisions with us. There is not a convenience store on every corner and everything shuts down for holidays. There were 3 days that we could not find a loaf of bread anywhere. But that is part of the charm of this place. Just be prepared and you will have a wonderful experience.

Beautiful views!
We were lucky enough to stay a week at Bonefish Bella Vista. The apartment is lovely and well stocked. We especially appreciated the garage downstairs with all of the goodies for a day at the beach. Chairs, umbrellas, coolers, floats, plenty of kayaks… anything you could need/want! Jean Louis and Jackie were perfect hosts. They were staying in the downstairs apartment and it was comforting to have them close by in case we needed anything. The views from the house were beautiful, and I miss waking up to the gorgeous blue water right outside my patio door. The road(s) to the house could be an adventure, just take it slow and you’ll be okay. We had a Nissan Cube and managed just fine. This was our third time to Exuma…and I can’t wait to go back! Absolute paradise!

Wow! What a beautiful stay in Exuma! Jean Louis and Jackie were such wonderful hosts and just beautiful people. Allow them to give you information on where to go and things to see because they are very helpful. The moment you walk into the house you are greeted by the gorgeous sea view. It’s breathtaking and you’ll never tire of it. The porch is covered and runs the entire length of the house and it is so nice for relaxing with morning coffee or evening cocktails! The beds are very comfortable and sweetly decorated. The kitchen has all of the basics for cooking a meal, which we did a lot of during our stay. Just an overall great vacation home. The drive to Georgetown is quick…about 10 minutes. The road coming into the house is pretty bumpy, so I highly recommend a jeep or SUV. Many roads in Exuma are bumpy, so it will come in handy. Drive to Little Exuma is about 25 minutes. We drove to several beaches and explored. We particularly loved Tropic of Cancer, Pretty Molly, and Hooper’s Bay. Having said all of that, you’ll love the access to water right outside your door. The hosts provide life vests, snorkeling gear, and kayaks. We kayaked to the flats a couple of times and it’s a cool experience. The water is very calm. Our little boy (5) enjoyed playing on the sand with provided sand toys and snorkeling around the rocks in the water. This is such a magical place! Jean Louis and Jackie made it even more special. Thank you!!!!

Away from the crowd, immersed in the beauty
So if you want a sandals experience go have it. But for my husband and our best friends (another couple) we loved the serenity of the quieter side of Exuma, the insane view right off the huge back porch, swimming and fishing just feet from where we sleep, a full kitchen, lots of room, a gracious and attentive lovely French host, and the bluest water I’ve ever seen. Do you want to stay in a complex with lots of people on the beach? Well this isn’t your place. Do you want quiet blue waters, fish jumping, the sounds of the water lapping against the shore, and so much beauty it makes you want to cry? Well come stay here. Ps. Yes the the road is full of potholes on the way over. Most of that southern side of the island is like that. Drive slowly, avoid the potholes, don’t drive like an imbecile and you and your car will be just fine. Rent a car. Go to little Exuma. Eat at Santanna’s. Go to Tropic of Cancer beach. Rent a boat for a few days from browns marine (practically across the street) and explore Elizabeth harbor. Be adventurous. Eat with the locals. And fall into your comfortable bed with a smile on your face and a little too much sun on your shoulders. Best couples trip we’ve ever been on. Hands down. We will be back.

My wife and I and our 9 year old stayed for a week, with my parents staying in the downstairs apartment. The vacation was perfect. Jean-Louis was away, but Jackie was the perfect hostess. We had everything we needed for a beach vacation, including beach chairs, coolers, etc. The house is very clean and modern. We particularly enjoyed hanging out on the balcony, eating dinner and watching spectacular sunsets. Rent a 4 wheel drive vehicle and maneuver the island roads slowly. We would definitely recommend this property.

A perfect getaway
This property is very special. Our hosts created a wonderful spot for the perfect getaway. The house has everything you could need and is literally situated right on the water. It's west facing so you are treated to a spectacular sunset every evening. Our hosts were a wealth of great information with suggestions of places to eat and spots to visit. They warmly greeted us upon arrival and walked us through the features of the home. They had even picked up a few supplies for us knowing that the grocery store would be closed when we arrived. We also found that this home had a great location on Exuma as it was an easy trip to Georgetown which was where we picked up our boat rental (we rented a 17 ft Whaler for three days from Minn's which we would highly recommend). It is also an easy ride down to Little Exuma where you can find beautiful beaches and fun places to eat. We suggest renting a jeep as some of the roads off the main highway were a bit rugged. Because our place was so lovely and the sunsets were so nice, we picked up dinner a few nights to eat on the veranda. Overall, we did find dining out to be expensive which is also why we enjoyed bringing food in from the fish fry or Sonia's (in Georgetown). The portions everywhere are quite generous so one meal often turned into two or three meals:). It was also very quiet at night and the lack of ambient light made the star gazing really amazing. A truly special place! We cannot thank our hosts enough for their warmth and caring!

Wonderful stay
We spent our family Christmas and New Years at Bonefish Bella Vista and had a wonderful stay! The spot is away from the downtown of Georgetown but a quick 15 minute drive to find what you need. We arrived a little early so the house was still being cleaned and once we go inside it was lovely. The view is amazing - you can see both the sunrise and sunset over the flats and beautiful water! The deck was amazing to sip coffee and wine, depending on the time of day. All necessities and then some were available for our stay (extra kitchen supplies, kayaks, snorkels, floats, etc). We LOVED how the beachfront was super accessible and had the only 'cove' area protected by large rocks. This made for great and easy floating in the sunshine without any current or waves. The location is very quiet with very minimal motorized boats. The island is quiet and not very touristy which is super appealing. It was tough coming in on a holiday but Jean Louis and Jackie were so helpful when we arrived - pointing out not only all the house had to offer but where to get supplies. They made a fantastic recommendation for fish in town and even helped get reservations for our New Years Eve! Great tips for places to explore and the island itself. They were there if we needed them but gave us space as well to enjoy our time. It was exactly what we needed for our vacation! Thank you Jean Louis and Jackie! We will be back!

Great stay on Great Exuma
My family and I spent a week at the property. We arrived on Sunday after 6:00pm and Jean-Louie and Jacqueline were kind enough to reach out in advance to offer to get some food items so we could have something Monday morning before the stores opened. They were also great on Sunday night when we got ourselves turned around on the roads on the way to the apartment. The property itself was perfect for my family of four. The private beach was beautiful and we used it several times. My 11 yo loved snorkeling by the rocks 15 feet offshore where there were colorful fish living right there. We kayaked to the bonefish flats one evening, easy and fun for all four of us. The view is fantastic all day long. The hosts have a great set up for guests and were so informative and sweet. It really helped to have the packet of information about the island that they sent in advance of our stay. The location is really close to all the beaches we wanted to see and wonderful restaurants. It was really a vacation of a lifetime for us!

Thank you Jacqueline and John-Louis for sharing your beautiful home (as well as beach chairs, umbrella, cooler, kayaks, etc)!!

Jean-Louis and Jackie were great hosts and the property was fantastic! You are literally steps away from the ocean and there is a huge sandbar about 100 feet out. They have chairs, an umbrella, life vests, kayaks, pool floats, snorkeling gear, coolers: everything you need for a day in the beach! The little cove in front of the house was perfect for our 2 year old; not too choppy and just the right height at low tide.

Lifetime of Memories
What a wonderful trip! Much due to Jean-Louis and Jaqueline our excellent hosts. Thank you for your generous hospitality. It was a blessing to my family and myself. Where to start? My family and I summed up our 2 weeks in Exuma as perfect balance of rest & adventure. There was a comfortable sense of escapism for the days we wanted to detach and read a good book on the patio or beach or play some cards as a family in the open living space. But the property had so much to do outdoors and has a great proximity to many adventures. Several times, at low tide, we kayaked and walked to the secluded island just out our back door for a day in paradise without seeing another soul. We'd also just snorkel for hours right on the private beach. There was plenty of animal life along the way swimming with sea turtles, crabs, and all the coral life within feet of stepping into the crystal clear waters. The property is so close to George Town, that it was only a 5min drive to anything we might've needed. As much as an amazing day we had on our full day excursion with Exuma Water Sports (a must), we also had many adventures and full bellies at all the nearby beaches and restaurants. A quick list of musts (many and our hosts recommendation)...Tropic of Cancer Beach was amazing, close and no one around...Hit up Blue on the Water for lunch on the way over. Definitely spend a day out at Stocking Island at Chat N Chill. Hooper's Bay Beach is a must if you want to just hang with cuddly sea turtles on an amazing beach for as long as you want. Grab a beverage at Sherie's shack in GeorgeTown and then some of the best food right behind it. The setting might look a little sus, but you should definitely try it. And the family working hard to run it was so pleasant. Everywhere we went was very family friendly and our boys (as adventuresome as they are) had a great time with everything we did. The wildlife and yummy food was their favorite. At the core of this great trip was the Bonefish BellaVista property and it's beautiful hosts. They offered every amenity we needed for an extended family retreat. Thank you again. God Bless. -The Mains
