Outdoor space at the house is fantastic. We happened to pick a windy week, but were still able to enjoy the sun. We could also swim every day at the beach out front, while many island beaches were too rough.

What a beautiful place! We had the entire beach to ourselves for most of our stay as none of the neighbors went down to the beach. The manager/host Onike’ was absolutely fantastic and made sure we were happy and comfortable throughout our entire stay! She also arranged for a rental car and provided great details for shopping, restaurants and excursions. She always responded right away! She was fantastic!!! The location of the property is absolutely perfect! We really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to go back again!!

Two families, 8 total people, shared this space for a week and it was heavenly! Though we rented a boat for excursions, went to TOC and had a guided excursion, the beauty and seclusion offered at Papaya House are phenomenal. One can stay at the home and experience wonderful privacy and beauty. The house itself was well furnished with soaps, towels, linens….all the start-up items you would expect. We chose not to rent a car and had no trouble getting a driver to Little Exuma. The cabana and hammock are added perks of the home. It was most definitely one of our top, of not the top, vacation we’ve experienced. Thank you!

Great Vacation!

We had a fantastic time during our stay! The house was perfect and had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The beach was absolutely stunning—just steps away. What really made our trip special was the property manager, Onike. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and always quick to respond if we had any questions. We truly felt taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend this place and would love to return!

We absolutely loved the Papaya House! It was our 4th trip to Little Exuma and have tried a number of home, Papaya House did not disappoint! Location is perfect, the beach was tranquil and private, and the house was stocked full of beach gear and everything you need to relax for a while in paradise.

Best beach destination ever!

This is our second visit to Papaya House. Absolutely thrilled with the location, definitely not a place for partying and night life which we were not interested in…such a relaxing, pristine vacation to a safe and friendly small island. We have traveled over the years and visited some of the best beaches in the Caribbean and none are better than Love Beach. We will look forward to a return visit ASAP!

This place was awesome! Can’t imagine waking up to a more beautiful view. The house was super clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a fabulous week from games, to kayaks, to beach toys, etc. The owners and Onike were super helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions.

Great family vacation

This was the third year we enjoyed Papaya House! It gets better each year. The house is well equipped as we enjoy cooking in most of the time! Games, DVDs, etc. All as advertised! Probably the most beautiful view and beach in the world! Our family is one grandmother, a father and mother, and an 8 year girl and 6 year old boy! All had a ball!

Perfect view and location!

We had an incredible week at Papaya House! The house is comfortable and the view cannot be beat. Little Exuma is quiet and we loved visiting Tropic of Cancer beach (and the bar at the beach became a favorite as well...) and Coco Plum Beach but the beach at the house was our favorite. The screened pavillion was the perfect place for the kids to play and we enjoyed the terrace overlooking the ocean very much. The bedrooms were very nice sizes and the showers were awesome! It was great having water toys (kayak, blow up rafts, etc.) provided. We also loved having the telescope to star gaze at night. We hope to return!

Beautiful Quiet Getaway

I booked this house with the Exuma Outpost next door for our groom and bridal villa, and it was perfect. I had 5 people at Papaya House (8 people at Exuma Outpost). It was walkable, and we have the most spectacular view! It has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. The rooms were nice and very spacious, and Onike, the house manager was available whenever we needed something. It is on Little Exuma, a bit further away from George Town, but we rented cars, purchased provisions ahead of time, and had chefs catered and dropped off food for the week. That allowed us to enjoy the property and beach as much as we can. We had a micro wedding on the island, and it was the most unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to come back.

Absolute Perfection

This house and location is perfect. The beach and water could not be more breathtaking. And a night, I think you can see every star in the galaxy. You can snorkel right out in front of the house - we brought our own gear but the house had plenty of it, as well as floats, fishing equipment, chairs, umbrellas and absolutely everything you need to fully enjoy the stay. This our third trip to the Bahamas (second to Exuma), we always pay to check one cooler and one suitcase to bring frozen foods and dry goods, essentials. Highly recommend doing that but the Exuma Outpost has a good selection to fill in the blanks but some things are pretty pricey. We loved Papaya House and hope to return soon. One of our favorite vacations ever.
