Great Time at Jolly Turtle

The Jolly Turtle House had everything our group needed for a great vacation! There was ample room for our group of 9. The pool and use of water toys is great and the gas grill was nice for when we stayed at the house to cook. Derek was extremely responsive and very helpful! He helped us arrange rides to and from the airport to the property. The use of the cars as part of the house is such a great perk of this property!

Family Vacation 2025

Our stay at the Jolly Turtle was amazing! The house had all the amenities needed and was clean. We used the pool and kayaks numerous days while there! Close to the grocery store and the use of the vehicles was such a help. Janet was there to greet some of our family because we had flight delay issues and Patrick picked them up and was there to get us back to the airport on time. we can't wait to get back to the island and explore more of it. Family had a great time!

AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

My family and I just got back from Exuma and I’m already itching to go back! Derek was an amazing host and was very attentive to any concerns or issues we had. The house is spectacular. We were a family of 10, including a 1 year old, and we were all extremely pleased. We had access to two cars which made our trip much easier. I would like to personally thank Derek and Janet for their kind hospitality. We cannot wait to book again for next year! A definite must stay home. You won’t regret it.

Can’t wait to return!

The Jolly Turtle house was absolutely amazing. The listing photos do not do this house and location justice. The greatest snorkeling and water right in the back yard! The house accommodated 10 of us perfectly and had everything we needed. The location was perfect, close to the market, stores and restaurants. The owner Derek was a pleasure to work with and so was the house keeper Janet. We are sad to leave and can’t wait to plan our next trip back to the Jolly Turtle!!! 10/10 BOOK THIS HOUSE!!

Exuma Jolly Turtle House- Excellence in Paradise

We are a multi generational family of 8 visiting Exuma for the first time. The Super Host and Housekeeper made our 2 week stay absolutely perfect.We were picked up at the airport (plus all our luggage) and brought promptly to the Jolly Turtle House. Beautiful view of Hoopers Bay through the sliders. Seems like the ocean was feet from the living room! BBQ was great, pool was clean and fun for the younger ones and there were numerous sea toys to use. The Housekeeper was terrific on our return flight as it was delayed multiple times. She accomodated our transport time back to the airport 3 times due to a delayed flight with cheerful support. Also the Housekeeper arranged a day to see the swimming pigs and this worked out great for the family. The house is close to George Town and most important amenities. Great experience!

Even better in person! Would stay again!

The host made everything so simple and helpful! We even ended up having to be delayed an extra day and they still went over and beyond making our check in with ease. This house has it all! All the fun toys for the kids and adults. We loved the little rock island to kayack and snorkle to daily. Its nice shallow so my friends eight year old went on his own! The location was perfect. A couple minutes from everything you would need as well as the airport. I would say them having two cars to rent as well made our trip seamless since we had six adults and two kids. The rooms were perfect! NICE when we can all enjoy a king size bed! Truly a perfect experience. The home was filled with everything youd need from cooking to family games we had a blast every day and night! Will def stay here again!

Pic of property very misleading!!

the house was extremely nice and the property owner was very helpful. Janet was amazing even with everything she had going on!! The only complaint we had was the beach that is showing in the pic of the house. the beach is all rock, no where to lay and relax and no where for a kid to play on the beach. however, there was a nice place with sand around the patio. just no beach access unless you wanted to wade through the rock. overall was a great house to stay in.

Few hiccups but owner saved it from catastrophe.

Was picked up from airport which was a big help as the house includes use of 2 vehicles. Vehicle had a mechanical issue going back to the house. We made lemonade from the lemons as we arrived early at the rental and were allowed to hang in one of the rooms while the housecleaners cleaned from the prior visitors. After they left, we found the house to be quite sandy all over and house didnt really come with some necessities: ie toilet paper , paper towels, dishwasher soap , things we were accustomed to in a price range as this. There were plenty of beach towels and bathing towels throughout. The homeowner made some adjustments due to some vehicle issues and took care of our problems 100%. During the stay some “maintenance” was done and the water got turned off. We figured out what happened and rectified the issue. Overall thou ….. very pleased with the property …. The pool was refreshing , the use of all the beach toys was perfect. Tons of space for entertaining a party of 6 adults. I would recommend the property and again thanks to the owners for use of the backup vehicle. You really came thru and fixed things as our needs shifted.

Jolly Turtle House - Perfect house

Just finished a week stay at Jolly Turtle and I cannot say enough amazing things about the house, the location, Derek the owner, Janet the house manager, and our stay overall. There were 9 of us, 4 adults and 5 kids ranging from age 13-23 yrs. Everything you need is provided, from cookware, to beach towels, to washer dryer, to water floaties, stand up paddle boards, etc. And the extra amenities take this place above any dream. Not that you ever want to leave the amazing cove and water right outside the back door, but if you do, the pool is another great place to hang out. Derek the owner was super responsive and helpful with any questions we had, and Janet the house manager is absolutely lovely and available by text or just stopping by if you need (she helped us figure out how to get the Nuggets play offs on the tv when we couldn’t get it from our cable service from the states). All promises, you will love this house!!

Everything was great. Excellent communication with host and local support. Pick-up and drop-off at airport a nice bonus convenience. The included car for use another great convenience and value. We were only two adults but house very well set up for large family/families or multiple couples. Great location - close to amenities, central to beaches at both ends of the island. Very easy to get around. Beach not quite as sandy as the picture looks but provides lots of paddle boards/kayaks/snorkeling gear to enjoy the water easily.

AMAZING!!!!!!!

First we want to say Thankyou! We had an amazing stay in your worry free Island Time Waterfront Home. The Jolly Turtle home comes with rental cars which Thankyou again, was a godsend. The large living, kitchen, dining areas made our stay comfortable for 8 adults. Derek and Janet were amazing!!! Very helpful and welcomed us like we were family. We were all first timers to the Island and hope to return again. Our advice on must see activities: make sure to catch the mile long sandbar at low tide, some deep-sea fishing, and check out the Island beaches! You'll never see tropical aqua water colors anywhere else. A must next time, is to have the first couple of days of grocery shopping delivered ahead of time especially if you arrive after 5pm and/or on a Tuesday or Wednesday when most restaurants are closed. Thankyou again Derek and Janet. We will return!!! We recommend the JOLLY TURTLE to be your next destination home away from home to relax and have a wonderful vacation.

Had a wonderful experience at the Jolly Turtle! Derek is a great host, wonderful communicator and has appointed the home to tend to every need. A very comfortable, quiet and enjoyable stay. The home is well-marked on the highway and a familiar residence to service car drivers for those travelling by taxi. Close enough to Georgetown to enjoy attractions and dining there and for a more local flavor, very close to the "Fish Fry" which is a group of local restaurants, pubs and walk-up dining.

Fantastic house with everything you need and more.

The house was great with everything we needed and more. Great location, convenient to George Town, groceries and the airport. We were on the water with kayakes and standup boards every morning. Gorgeous sunrise every morning while drinking coffee on the deck. Owner was quick to respond and accommodating to our needs. Pictures of beach in front of the house need to be updated and some mattresses may need to be replaced. Those are minor issues considering all the other wonderful things this property offers. We would love to stay again in the future for another family vacation.

Perfect for our group

Where do I start?!? The week before we were heading down to Exuma we get an email from another property cancelling our reservation. Talk about STRESSFUL! We immediately went back online to find a place that would accommodate 10 people and came across the Jolly Turtle. We are so happy we did. Derek, the owner, was so responsive and Janet, the caretaker was so helpful in anything that we needed. The house is just like it says it in the listing. Couldn't get closer to the water without being on it. Loved that we had the use of the SUV for the week included. This made getting groceries and to other places super easy. The house is perfectly located, it was about 5-10 minutes from the center of town. There was plenty of space for 9 adults and 1 baby. The wind was going everynight, which we found out was a great thing. One night there was zero wind and the little bugs came out long enough to get some bites, but then the wind picked up after about 1/2 hour and no more bugs. Bring bug spray just in case. Anything you could want they had and if not just ask Janet. She was able to hook us up with fishing guides and tour guides. It was a great family vacation and thanks to Jolly Turtle we were able to make it happen. Thank you Derek, and Janet!
