Amazing stay in Exuma
Bananakeet Villa is the perfect place to stay on Exuma. Located on a beautiful beach with just enough activity. Sit on the porch and enjoy the view or have fun in the water in a kayak or on paddleboard. It is well stocked with all of the conveniences you need to feel comfortable away from home. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms very nice, the living area set up well for spending time with your group. We would definitely love to come back.

Amazing House, Amazing Location!!
The pictures don’t even do the house and beach justice. It is truly even better in real life. The house was so well stocked and the layout is perfect for a large family or 4 couples. The kitchen is a dream and has everything you could need and more. I fell in love with the washing machine and dryer set, as well as the dishwasher!The hosts, both owners and the locals who care for the home, are easy to work with and super friendly. Fantastic communication too. The location is great. We had the beach nearly to ourselves most days, yet the house is within walking distance to a couple great restaurants and a short drive from a bunch more. We liked being a bit away from the main town, yet close enough that it is an easy drive to head to Georgetown when needed. I truly can’t say enough about this house and the island of Exuma in general. Everyone is so friendly and the color of the water colors are surreal. Thanks for the incredible vacation!

Slice of Paradise
The beautiful pictures from the listing are almost unbelievable, but even they don't do this home and beach justice. This is a perfect island getaway.My family (myself, adult siblings, and our partners) stayed at Bananakeet to celebrate my mother's birthday, and everything was spectacular. The homeowners were extremely generous and gracious to have arranged a custom birthday cake (which was delicious!) beforehand and had it waiting for us when we arrived.The appliances at the villa are top notch. The cookware is perfect (and the kitchen knives are sharp!) for preparing family meals to be enjoyed around the gorgeous view the wall to wall sliding glass doors provide. And if you want to eat out, there is a lovely bistro a few doors down and easily accessible by walking shortly down the beach.The water is beautiful, and there is excellent snorkeling to be had directly in front of the villa! We even saw a small turtle multiple times! The home had 2 kayaks and 2 paddleboards which made for a great variety of things to do.We would highly recommend this location and plan to stay again.

Absolutely beautiful home
The house was absolutely gorgeous and on a beautiful beach. The owners were fantastic with communication from the moment we booked and the properly manager was so helpful and responsive. This was perfect for our family of five but would be great for four couples as well, as each room is private with its own bathroom.

Amazing Property!
This was our first time visiting Exuma and boy did we hit the jackpot with this beautiful property! The home was just built recently and it is obvious that the owner put great detail into making this the perfect property for families to come and enjoy their vacation. They thought of everything! Nicka the house manager is an absolute joy! She is so helpful and kind. Any questions we had, she responded immediately and gave us lots of great recommendations. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us and when we come back to Exuma, we would love to stay at BananaKeet Villa again! It is the perfect 10 out 10!

Paradise in Exuma
Absolutely beautiful home and views! Lots of activities to do straight from your backyard. From snorkeling to kayaking and playing games or if you just want to relax and admire the views. The outdoor shower for rinsing off was perfect. Plenty of room for 7 people and well designed if you just want your own private space. The host was amazing and so very helpful. Definitely will book again if we decide to vacation in Exuma in the future. Thank you to the owners for all your help and guidance. We had a wonderful time and created beautiful memories that will last a lifetime !!

Our family had a great stay at the Bananakeet Villa. The property is clean, safe and spectacular. There is a reef for snorkeling just off shore. The owners have a property manager that stays in contact to make sure everything is going well. Kitchen has all needed utensils.

Family Getaway for Thanksgiving
Bananakeet is the perfect house for your getaway with family and friends. The house is gorgeous! Beautiful finishes throughout. We especially liked the use of art from local artists. The most beautiful beach is just steps away. We loved sipping our morning coffee on the back porch with the view of the sunrise. My family really liked snorkeling over the reef right in front of the house. We plan on returning again soon!
