FAMILY BEACHFRONT 1 bed 2 bath APT DIRECTLY on HOOPERS BAY

Our 2 room beach apartment is ideal for a family who want a holiday or vacation DIRECTLY on what is regarded as the best beach to stay on in Exuma and the only beach with resident GREEN TURTLES. We were pleased to have won the traveler choice, and certificate of excellence awards for the third consecutive year from the worlds largest trip advisory organisation.
See our turtles-exuma.com and enjoy watching how our guests have interacted with the turtles and learn more about their lives and protection.
The apartment is particularly useful for parents with young children or those with accessibility issues as everything is on the ground floor and the few paces to the beach is on flat ground.
One Queen bed is in one room and a King or 2 Twins is in the other room - each room has its own shower room. A full kitchen has stove with oven, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee makers etc.
Fully air conditioned plus ceiling fans for comfort together with flat screen TV, radio/CD player and FREE, UNLIMITED WiFi.
A patio with table and chairs allows for outdoor relaxing or meals.
Just a few seconds through the palm trees in our garden takes you directly onto the beautiful Hoopers Bay beach -a 1/2 mile (1 kilometer) long soft white sandy bay gently sloping into the incredibly blue safe and calm water which is ideal for all ages to swim, snorkel, play or kayak. Hoopers Bay is sheltered from the prevailing winds so is always calm and safe.
Some of the advantages of staying at our sandypalmsbahamas location are:-
--Direct "on the beach" position
--Peaceful and private situation with our grounds of 1.5 acres around the property
--Only 12 minutes from the international airport, less than 1 minute from a range of good local shops and 6 minutes from restaurants and George Town, the capital.
--FREE kayaks for our guests use
--Pickup for the private transfer to the swimming pigs tours.

Great Stay

This was my 3rd time to Exuma and I took my 2 teenagers for their first time. Peter and Betty were wonderful hosts. They answered my questions quickly and were waiting for us when we arrived to show us around their wonderful property. The location is wonderful, very close to 2 grocery stores and a short distance to Georgetown. I would definitely stay there again if I make it back to Exuma!

Schönster Urlaub ever

Wir reisten vom 20. Januar bis 2. Februar 2023 nach Exuma. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern Betty und Peter verlief sowohl vor den Ferien, wie auch während unserem Aufenthalt, stets problemlos. Peter informierte uns nach unserer Ankunft ausführlich über alles Wissenswerte über die Insel, zeigte uns sogar persönlich Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie Lebensmittelläden, Metzger, Apotheke etc. Das fanden wir sehr zuvorkommend und erleichterte uns den Einstieg ins Inselleben perfekt! Das Appartment ist sehr gut und zweckmässig ausgestattet. Wer selber kochen möchte, findet allerei Küchenutensilien. Hervorzuheben sind unserer Meinung nach die äusserst bequemen Matratzen! Was alles andere noch toppt, ist die aussergewöhnliche Lage direkt an der Hoopers Bay, einem der schönsten Strände Exumas. Jeden morgen mit den dort lebenden Schildkröten einen kleinen Strandspaziergang zu machen (ohne die Tiere zu füttern!!), war eines der Highlights dieses "once in a lifetime" Urlaubs und wird unvergesslich bleiben! Super fanden wir, dass uns von Betty und Peter Kajaks zur freien Verfügung gestellt wurden. (Dies ohne zusätzliche Mietgebühren) So konnten wir die Bucht noch besser entdecken. Alles in allem war es unser schönster Urlaub und wir sind ganz sicher, dass wir nach Exuma zurückkehren werden.

Great Place To Stay On Hoopers Bay

This property is in a good location right on the beautiful beach at Hoopers Bay, a stunning setting. Peter the owner was there to great us on our arrival, he is very welcoming. We had lots of questions about the area, Peter took time to tell us all about the island, he is able to arrange trips for you, car hire and fill you in on the history of the island. We really appreciated the time Peter spent with us, he and his wife Betty were perfect hosts for our stay on Exuma.

Outstanding location, sea turtles are the best, owners are wonderful and attentive to your needs

We would highly recommend this location and rental for folks that want to spend their time outside, sunning, swimming, reading, snorkeling, kayaking, boating, etc... A great value and wonderful neighborhood... two convenience stores well within waking distance. I would recommend renting the car as offered. It allows you to explore more of this awesome island and it’s courteous people. Just remember you are on island time ...

Great location, amazing hosts and beautiful island!

We can’t say enough about our first visit to beautiful Exuma! From the first communications with the hosts, Peter and Betty, we felt we would be in good hands and felt their warm welcome. We are a family of four with two boys (14 and 12 yrs old) and had a few questions about the location, access to services, rental of vehicle, what to do, etc. and they provided all necessary information from the get-go. They arranged for a pick-up at the airport and Patricia, the taxi driver, was the best! Peter met with us the first day to go over the basics and then took the time to provide us with local info, not-to-miss beaches, restaurants, activities and so much more! The location was perfect! Our youngest son was on the beach every morning by 7am to play in the sand and I followed a bit later to do yoga on the beach. We felt safe everywhere we went on the island. We had the beach to ourselves, along with the friendly Sea Turtles that swim in Hooper’s Bay! We rented a vehicle from the hosts, which was easy and practical. We spent one day on the southeast side of the island and visited Tropic of Cancer beach as well as Forbes Hill beach! Again, we were just a few families sharing these beautiful beaches! The next day we took Elvis’ water taxi, recommended by Peter, to visit Hamburger beach and Stocking Island! The extra 5$ to visit Hamburger beach was well worth it as we were alone to snorkel beautiful beaches and saw a Giant Starfish, a Barracuda, Sergeant Major fish and more. We then went to the main part of Stocking Island where we had fresh Conch Salad, which I LOVE! The Conch Salad guy gave us leftovers and we were able to feed the Stingrays! What an amazing feeling to touch and feed them! He then recommended a few coral reefs close by for some snorkeling! The next day, we visited the northeast side of the island where we visited Cocoplum beach, Exuma Point, Barraterre, Three Sister Rock beach, Emerald beach and a few more ;) Mary Anne and her staff at Exuma Point restaurant were so friendly amd helpful! And the food? Delicious!! The next day we did a full day tour with Coastline adventure where we got to swim with sharks, pigs, feed the most docile Iguanas, snorkel Thunderball grotto and ride a boat among the Exuma Cays! There is lots to do, great places to eat (you have to try the Guava pie at Shirley’s, the bbq chicken, pork or Grouper fingers at the Fish Shacks, and Conch salad! The local people are welcoming and very friendly! Two thumbs way up!!

Awesome Vacation

The property was the best location on the island in my opinion. A beautiful Long Beach, sea turtles in the water, kayaks to enjoy. Just a relaxing get away with no hustle bustle at all. PETER was awesome to give us information on what to do and see and where to eat and get food. We loved our little apartment which was just a few seconds away from the beach. It had everything we needed for a great vacation. I would highly recommend this place if you go to Exuma. Great beach and great people to rent from. Also enjoyed having the jeep for a week to go touring the island that was available to rent from PETER. Having the free local advice is priceless and made our vacation that much more fun!!

Remote experience, right on the beach

We spent 6 nights with our two kids (6 and 3) and it worked out wonderfully. Peter was such a gracious host, very helpful with each question we had. The beach is literally steps away and there were never more than a handful of people around. This unit is the back unit on the ground floor. It is definitely two rooms, not two bedroom, in that the main room doubles as a kitchen / living room / bedroom. As a result it was cozy for 4 people in beds plus one in a crib. The small grocery store is within walking distance but that is truly all that is close, there are no restaurants nearby. It was perfect for us and offered exactly the experience we were looking for but definitely know what to expect. Overall, this was a great place for a family with kids and we would definitely consider returning in the future.

Fabulous location and gracious hosts. Hands down, the most beautiful blue water you will ever see!

Our trip was perfect, primarily because of the FANTASTIC location of this house. It is situated on the stunning Exuma blue/turquoise waters of Hoopers Bay. We visited during mid February when it can be windy on Exuma, though still warm and sunny ( High 70's to 80 F for our entire week), but since we were bringing our 3 year old we wanted to avoid large waves so we could play in the water as a family. Hoopers Bay turned out to be the perfect refuge, and we played in the water without fear of being knocked over while trying to teach our son to enjoy swimming. We also took turns snorkeling just a small walk down the beach to try to swim with the green turtles who make the calm waters of the bay their home. Though we saw them everyday, it wasn't until our final day that we were able to actually get a chance to swim among them. We were in the water with them for over an hour, and they let us interact by swimming near us, and coming to inspect us up close. They actually seemed to want to play! Without this location we would have never been able to have this experience. It took quite a few tries and it would not have been practical to keep returning to this spot in hopes of catching them. Also, the cottage was literally just steps to the beach, and waking up and having to just put on a swimsuit to go sit on the beach without having to pack everything and the kitchen sink was bliss. You know what I'm talking about if you have ever traveled with a toddler. The cottage itself was comfortable and clean. It had everything you would need for a short stay. It had two bedrooms and two bathrooms, an efficiency kitchen and a small supply of kitchen essentials. This too was so helpful. We were able to keep our sons breakfast/lunch and nap routine because we didn't have to go in search of a restaurant for every meal. We brought a few non perishable items from home in the way of snacks and basics because the prices on the island are so high. We supplemented with things purchased at the local markets. We ate over half our meals at the cute and private outdoor dining area attached to our little cottage. Betty and Peter had everything perfectly organized and were amazing hosts. Their responses to all inquiries were prompt and very helpful. Peter was charming and a wonderful wealth of info for the island, as well as just a nice guy. We also rented their car for the week, which I recommend to be able to see the rest of the beautiful island. Already looking at next year!!

Relaxing in Paradise

We had a great week at this property. It was really nice to get up and walk the beach every morning, and see turtles and rays. We were able to swim with the turtles on a couple of occasions. The beach is awesome!! The apartment although somewhat small was adequate and comfortable for the 4 of us. The property itself was well maintained, and landscaped nicely. Peter is a wonderful host. He was always willing to accommodate us, and help us with finding the best spots on the island to adventure to. One of our top vacations ever. Thanks!
