We had an incredible stay at Shades of Blue and are already looking forward to returning! We traveled with three families, and the home felt spacious, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids, and we absolutely loved the beautiful stretch of beach just steps away. On calm days, we were able to kayak right from the property.The location was ideal being just 15–20 minutes from Georgetown and also close to many stunning beaches. Stephanie was wonderful to work with and made everything seamless from start to finish.Thank you, thank you for such a memorable and fun vacation!

A Dream Anniversary Getaway at Shades of Blue in Exuma!

We recently celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary with a 5 day stay at a beautiful rental home in Exuma, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and the peaceful privacy of the home.The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed—from pool and beach amenities to cozy outdoor seating for sunset beverages. We woke up every morning to the sound of the ocean and spent our days exploring nearby beaches, visiting local bars/restaurants, and enjoying celebrating under the stars.The hospitality of the host was exceptional. They provided all the recommendations needed to create a great time with lasting memories and were incredibly responsive and thoughtful.Exuma is paradise, and this home made it feel like our own little slice of heaven. If you’re looking for a romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable getaway, look no further. We’re already dreaming about coming back—maybe for our 15th!Highly recommend!

Shades of Blue was AMAZING!!! To wake up with the pool and ocean view every morning was a dream come true. Stephanie was so responsive and helpful and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. The house was clean and she had a handy man come the same day any issues came up. It was the perfect bachelorette party weekend and we hope to be back soon!

Every single living space, aside from the bathrooms of course, has a stunning view of the ocean! There is plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. The grill area is fantastic. We enjoyed the clean and well maintained pool and hot tub. The property managers were very nice, responsive and helpful both while we were planning the trip as well as during our stay. This is a nice home for a large group. Thank you very much.

Wonderful

Shades of blue is everything that they said it is. It truly is beautiful. The house was perfect for a large group. Stephani was a pleasure to deal with. We did reach out to the property manager a couple of times with no response, so that was a little difficult, and I felt bad reaching out to Stephani , although I know if I did, she would handle anything anything. The only other thing I would say is it would be nice if they had staples there like salt/pepper, serving dishes, pictures, and things like that that would be hard for you to buy for a long weekend. But, the house was really amazing. There’s a fantastic pool house that we didn’t even get to use at all and what a shame because we looked at it right before we left and it’s beautiful. I feel like I can tell you this because my husband and I stayed a couple doors down at Greystone and it was nothing at all compared to this. And it’s literally right there. We would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful Vacation

This house is located on a quiet beach overlooking such beautiful blue waters. In front of the house you have a light surf to play in or you can walk a short way down the beach to a cove with calm water. The house is large and we had plenty of room to gather in or a quiet place for those that needed to do some online work. I would certainly recommend or return to this house with my family!

Great Vacation

The view on this house is truly unbelievable. The rooms were comfortable and spacious with end tables, dressers, and big closets. Our kids loved the bunk beds and with a large group like ours everyone felt like they had a nice space for their family. The kitchen had every item we could need — we cooked many of our meals and always had enough utensils, plates, cookware, etc. there were high chairs to use, tons of beach towels, games to play, an ice machine, an extra refrigerator..The house was clean and comfortable! We enjoyed spending all day on the pool deck, floating in floats (she had floats, life vests, snorkel gear, etc) and we loved our evenings at the huge dining table and big comfy couches. It’s slightly away from the main town which was exactly what we wanted (but a very easy, close drive). Walking distance is a natural lagoon, natural lazy river and beautiful, calm beach. Right up the road is Tropic of Cancer beach with a fun little bar! Right next to Tropic of Cancer is Santanas and Moms Bakery. The host was extremely attentive and gave us all the info we needed for instant comfort upon arrival. It’s apparent she loves her house and wants to share that love with everyone else. She left very detailed info at the house on anything we may have needed and we were very aware if we had any issues her community manager would be right up to fix it. Thank you Shades of Blue for providing the comfort, ease, and beauty we hoped for in Exuma

Absolutely Amazing

What an amazing vacation our family enjoyed at Shades of Blue! This home and the ocean playground that surrounds it was perfect for our family vacation 2024! We were a group of 20 from the age of 8 to 70. We had plenty of room and everyone had an awesome time! It was our first trip to Exuma and quickly learned that travel on the island is not like at home but Nanci, Julinka, and Beauren were so very helpful throughout our trip! The view walking into Shades of Blue is breathtaking! Pictures do not do justice to its beauty! We saw dolphins play as we sat on the beach, manta rays swim by, our kids and grands met a sweet puppy they named Scuba, snorkeled, kayaked to the park, lazy river, and neighboring islands to explore and snorkel, We booked a private boat charter from a joint venture of swimming pigs tours and 4 C’s with Captain Smiley and he was amazing! Unforgettable day of fun and adventure topped off with a delicious Bahamian feast at Lorraine’s Cafe! Our guys chartered a deep sea fishing trip from Dave Rowe and he was great as well! We did find that with such a large group, you need to book well in advance to eat out or even pick up from the island restaurants. But we highly recommend a vacation to this beautiful island paradise and I can’t imagine a better or more beautiful place to stay while experiencing all it has to offer than Shades of Blue! Had we never left the property, it would have been totally amazing still!
