Magical ( Heaven on earth)
Wow wow wow , Bella Vista Breeze has everything you could possibly need or think of. Steps to the water, Michael and Roseanne are great host, I’ve been planning this trip to Exuma for over a year and they’ve answered every question in a timely manner. The unit was very clean. Great for kids, Has an awesome outdoor shower and BBQ . They’ve a book there with tons of info. There is a pool , shuttle into town . Restaurant right next door. Sunrise to die for . We didn’t want to leave. You can snorkel right outside of the unit . We sat right outside our unit to see the sunrise. The water is a magical blue and changes colors as the tide comes in and out. I’ve rented about 15 different places and I’ve to say, this one was the best one I’ve ever rented, and Michael and Roseanne were the best host I could ever want. You can order groceries and have them delivered to your unit as well . I can see why this is a 5 star unit, it is perfect in every way. If you want perfection, book this unit without hesitation. Thank you Michael and Roseanne

Paradise!
I couldn’t have asked for a better property or property owners and manager. I was messaged daily by them checking in to make sure we didn’t need anything. The kitchen was great and we loved having the grill outside. We sat and played cards at the dining room table while looking at the million dollar view from our window. The villa was literally right on the beach! Besides being beautiful, clean and right on the water it was the little things that I loved. The thoughtfulness of having extra sunscreen for us, a book all about things to do on the island with informative opinions/information, and all the beach toys/chairs ever needed. We felt right at home. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven with us.

If you are looking for the perfect place to stay, look no further! Bella Vista Breeze is centrally located on the island allowing you to drive either direction easily. Michael and Roseann were the BEST hosts. The provided us with tons of information before we arrived and kept in contact with us the entire time.

Anniversary Getaway
Absolutely amazing anniversary trip thanks to the wonderful hosts at Bella Vista Breeze! We used the information packet they sent us when we booked and their guest Facebook page to plan every day. I cannot tell you how helpful this was! When our flight was delayed for maintenance issues, they even gave us recommendations of places to eat while stuck at the airport. They were quick to respond with any questions we had during our stay. The villa and view were even more beautiful in person. We enjoyed drinks and dinner at Splash and loved walking over to Jolly Hall Beach where we saw several sea turtles! Exuma was absolutely amazing and everyone we met were so kind and helpful. We are looking forward to returning in the future and bringing our children to experience island life in Exuma!

Paradise in Exuma
This was our first time opting for a rental instead of a hotel during our family vacation, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. Bella Vista Breeze, hosted by Michael and Roseann, exceeded all our expectations. The villa is perfect and comfortable, providing everything we needed. The location is ideal, allowing us to easily drive to all our destinations. Being part of the Hideaways gave us peace of mind, especially with the on-site restaurant and friendly staff.
Our stay was truly wonderful. The meticulous attention to detail by Michael and Roseann, and the overall experience. Our 4-year-old son is already counting down the days to his next birthday so we can return, and we feel the same way. I would rate this vacation and everything that made it special a perfect 10!

Everything we needed!
We really enjoyed our stay at Bella Vista Breeze. There are so many things convenient about the property that make it great. Location wise it's on a great beachfront, is only a short to the fish fry, is literally right next door to the onsite restaurant Splash and is only a 5 min drive to Georgetown. It is also pretty centrally located on Great Exuma which makes going to either end of the island easy.
Michael & Roseann were very responsive along the way and for my wife and I the unit was all we could ask for. We cooked meals in the kitchen, enjoyed the front porch just watching the ocean and took regular walks on the beach. We can't wait to return!

Best location on the Island
Bella Vista Breeze is everything the listing describes. This is our 2nd trip to Exuma and as they say “location, location, location”. This is a true oceanfront property just steps from the water. Bella Vista Breeze is conveniently located on the island. It is close to Georgetown and there are restaurants within walking distance. We rented a vehicle and it was awesome that we could travel north or south as opposed to being at either end of the island. The property is clean, the bed is comfortable and the hosts provided many extras. Bella Vista Breeze guests have access to all the Hideaways Resort amenities as well. It also has a great private outdoor shower with warm water. Michael and Roseann are excellent hosts and available to answer any questions. Their welcome package provided detailed information on the island including restaurants and excursions to name a few and was available as soon as we booked. It was a great planning tool. They have also put together a beautiful photo book with descriptions, so we ventured to places we probably wouldn’t have. Bella Vista Breeze would be our “go to” place.

This villa is exactly as described and in the perfect location. It has everything you made need for your stay. A few steps out of the door and you’re on the beach. Splash restaurant is on site and was convenient for us. Michael And Roseann were so helpful with planning, answering questions, and even allowed us to extend our stay due to delayed flights getting here. They have a detailed welcome guide with tips, directions, restaurant guides, etc. This was our first trip to Exuma, and we’re already looking to book again to bring our kids. 10/10 recommend!
Beautiful, clean and exactly as described ocean front villa. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable bed and sofa and great personal touches like beach chairs and an umbrella that you can take with to explore other beaches. Can’t say enough great things about the communication between the host - beyond my expectations. Really liked the outdoor shower. Would definitely stay at Bella Vista Breeze again.
