About this cottage rental
*Our property and island was NOT affected by Hurricane Dorian*
The name, "Point of View," says it all.
Nestled on a quiet beach with the most spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, is this tropical home away from home.
Enjoy tranquility with the exception of the waves crashing against the shore away from the usual sounds of the city. This piece of paradise is ideally located for the guest looking for pure comfort and relaxation at Exuma Point, located on the northern end of Great Exuma Island.
One of the main features of this 700 square feet island-style cottage, is its spacious wooden deck overlooking the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The wooden, winding steps, amidst the trees and natural fauna of the property, lead from the deck to a quiet, secluded beach. Imagine sunbathing, moon gazing, reading a book or relaxing with your favorite tropical drink in one of the comfortable patio lounge chairs. You may even want to prepare your meal for the day on the gas grill from this point of view.
If dining in is your preference, a fully equipped kitchen with major appliances awaits you. Make yourself at home with a standard size Whirlpool cooking range, refrigerator and microwave oven; toaster oven, beverage blender and coffee maker; and a full complement of cookware, bakeware, dinnerware, drinking glasses and flatware. A stackable washer and dryer stored in its own room also complements the amenities of this modern cottage.
Meals can be served at the four-seat, glass dinette table at the center of the open floor living space.
If you need to unwind before turning in at the end of the day or simply just want to relax and watch a favorite television program, do so in the comfort of a sofa which also opens to a bed for an extra guest or a loveseat, and smart television. Stay in touch with family and friends or conduct business transactions via wireless internet connection provided.
Before turning in for the night, rinse the sand from your feet and enjoy a warm shower in a spacious, glass enclosed shower. Complimentary soap and hair dryer are provided.
End the night comfortably in a queen size bedroom, fully stocked with linen, bath and beach towels, ironing board and iron. Choose to leave curtains and blinds opened for an ocean view rest from your bed or drawn to block out the island's starry skies.
After a restful night, plan a day of adventure with one of the many tour guides to visit the world renown swimming pigs and Thunderball Grotto, the undersea cave where the famous James Bond movie, Thunderball, was filmed. You must also include a visit to the tammed sharks, iguanas, turtles, undersea piano, and plane wrecks, just to name a few. Oh! a visit to one of the picturesque sand bars is also a must. While there, ensure your guide makes a bowl of fresh conch salad - an island favorite.
Sophia and Don will be more than delighted to assist with tour guide recommendations and bookings. A recommended listing is also provided inside the cottage.
If you are not too tired to try the nightlife or prefer to dine away from the cottage, there are some restaurants and bars just a few minutes walk on the beach and a few minutes drive recommended. A listing has been provided inside the cottage.
At the end of your stay, you will definitely have your point of view, hopefully a good one, from our "Point of View."
Bon voyage!

We can’t recommend ‘Point of View’ enough! We never wanted to leave! It was truly our own little bit of paradise! From the amazing views from the deck to the private beach area, from the beautiful and well equipped interior and comfy bed to the serene location… we couldn’t have wanted for more for our week’s stay on our honeymoon. We were so sad to leave! We have fallen in love with this island and recommend to any couples visiting to stay here. We kayaked off Exuma Point Beach and snorkelled and swam at Cocoplum beach & Hoopers Bay and saw sea turtles. We ate a lovely meal at Cocoplum Bistro and had drinks at Shoreline (amazing frozen rum drinks!). George Town is about half an hour away and there are plenty of supermarkets/convenience stores on route. It was a perfect location for us! A big thank you to Sophia for the stay. If we return to Exuma, we will definitely look to stay here again!

A wonderful stay in a beautiful, bright and sunny cottage. Cozy, spotless and well appointed. The private beach is perfect. Everyone in Exuma is wonderfully friendly. The beaches are pristine. Will not disappoint! Be back soon!

My wife and I stayed here and it was perfect. The house was up to date, clean and in a great location. We spent mornings on the deck or beach by the stairs before going on our excursions. We stayed 4 nights and the view from the deck never got old. Perfect size for a couple.

The most beautiful views you could ever hope for! Not to mention the private beach! The stairs to the beach are well lit. The deck and chairs are an added bonus for lounging when you need a break from the sand. The gas grill works perfectly. This cottage has all the comforts of home. I did not want to leave but I will be back!!! Thank you Sophia and Don for letting us stay in your beautiful place in paradise!

Had the pleasure of staying at Point of View for 28 days.
Our first time to Exuma and we had great time. Sophia and Don were gracious hoist and would highly recommend this cottage to relax and enjoy the island.
The view from your bed in the morning was incredible to drink your morning coffee and stare at the clear water and catamarans anchored out.
The cottage was well equipped along with a gas grill which we used a lot. The bathroom and shower was large and had plenty of towels to accommodate.
Overall, this is a great place for a great vacation!

The Point of View was probably the best private home we have ever stayed in, over 55 years of travel, throughout the Caribbean and Europe. Sophia and her daughter were both very nice to us, quite lovely as well, and helpful.
Most highly recommended!

To spend an unforgettable vacation, do not hesitate to choose Sophia's cottage for your stay. Well equipped, with perfect decoration, a spectacular terrace to disconnect from the hectic life of the city. A tranquility like in few places you can find, the beach just for one, I didn't see anyone around in the days I was there. I will be back soon !!!

What an amazing stay. It was our first time in Exuma. Sophia was outstanding. This was the perfect time for my wife and I for the week. Everything we needed was there. We did a little bit of shopping for the week and had plenty of leftovers. The house is perfectly equipped and an awesome location if you want to get away from everything. Throughout the week, I think we saw a total of three people on a little private beach. It was the perfect beach area for just my wife and I. The water is absolutely gorgeous, the bed was very comfortable and the view was indescribable. The house is furnished perfectly. We will absolutely come here again. We rented a car as you will need one. This is a bit remote as you are about 40 minutes from Georgetown. We found a few little bars to hang out but we made drinks at the house and grilled out. It is perfect. Do it! Thank you Sophia for a wonderful stay.

This cottage was the perfect choice for us. It was very cute, comfortable, clean and private. The pictures really don't do it justice. The deck was much larger the we expected. It had nice comfy chairs to sit in the shade in the afternoon which was perfect to take a break from the sun and heat. Sofia was great to communicate with prior and during our stay. We sadly didn't get to meet her because she was out of town. But when we had a small issue with the TV, she had someone come over and fix it. She also provided beach chairs and an umbrella that we used everyday. The cottage had everything we needed including lot of really nice fluffy towels! Thank you Sophia,

A wonderful place to get away. Magnificent view. Would come back in a heartbeat.

The house was immaculate. The location was pretty windy & wavy when we were there in March so keep this in mind if you plan to kayak, snorkel or swim. We were glad to have a rental car: groceries are 40min away. Gorgeous beaches everywhere. Can’t get over the colour of the water & the texture of the sand.

We really enjoyed our stay at Point of View. The house was comfortable and perfect for a couple. Great deck off back with wonderful views of the water. We used the small beach area almost every day. It was a wonderful week!

I stayed at this place from Aug1st - Aug 8th and didn't think I had issues until I get a message from the owner stating we put a hole in the wall, and took a bowl. I told her we did not and she sent pictures of a 1" hole that was behind a chair we never used. I got a claim today from my insurance that I have to pay. Also, we never even used their dishes because we ate out every meal and had 'to go' containers for our leftovers.
BEWARE if your going to stay here because they left the home unlocked with the key on the dining room table. When we left nobody came to look at the place to verify nothing was wrong, which they should have.
We only used the place to sleep and were never there during the day so I was baffled when the owner called and made that claim, which was very insulting. I have stayed in VRBO homes 5 times in The Bahamas and always left the place the way we arrived, which was very clean.
Of course, many reading this will say I should have taken pictures when I left and I did. We washed the covers and put them back on the bed (that is sunken in towards the middle). The place looked as if nobody even stayed there when we left.
I am not a young punk who trashes place where I stay, I am 49 years old. I take care of a place as if it were my own. I just feel very instulted at this claim, and this is a sign of petty things that can be accused against you. It's not the money, because that to me is very minimal. It is being accused of something that you know for a fact you didn't do.
SO IF YOU WANT TO STAY AT THIS HOME BEWARE!!
5.0 / 5.0
Had such an incredible stay at Point Of View. Beautiful home with incredible view as well as gorgeous private beach. A bit off the beaten path which is exactly what we were looking for. Plenty of small stores and wonderful restaurants close by for groceries and dinner. Rented a 15' Boston Whaler for a day from Island Exclusive Boat Rentals and Tours. Well worth every penny and they were so incredibly accommodating. They brought the rental boat to us from Georgetown. Highly recommend them for a boat rental. Point Of View is by far one of the nicest rentals we've had the pleasure of staying at with vtbo. Highly recommend this beautiful property. We cannot thank Don and Sophia enough for sharing their beautiful home.

Amazing views!!!!
We loved our trip! The cottage was on a quiet part of the island. It was a great size and exactly as shown in the listing. Just down the stairs was a great, virtually private beach! We only saw a couple of people walking along the beach over the course of the week. Otherwise, it was all ours!! The water was absolutely gorgeous!!! There was a great deck with loungers and chairs as well as beach chairs and an umbrella. Sophia was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to all our inquiries/needs. The cottage is a bit of a drive to GeorgeTown, but we enjoyed the peace and serenity. Plus, we were closer to Exuma Water Sports, where we did our excursion, which was amazing! Thanks for a relaxing trip to beautiful Exuma!

Nice Beach House
Stay: 1 week in May 2022
Modern rental. Nice interior.
It is advisable to rent a car.
Things to consider:
The beach house is at the very tip of Exuma. There is 1 road that will take you to the beach house. The road becomes 1 lane near the beach house. Driving to the beach house can be confusing because you must make a turn onto a 1 lane road. Therefore, I recommend arriving early in the day.
-Go to the grocery stores prior to driving at the beach house because there is 1 restaurant in walking distance along the Beach. It was only open on Sunday and no other days of the week during my stay.
Things to bring with you:
-Kitchen towels from Dollar Tree (if you are from the USA), only 1 kitchen towel was provided and only 1 roll of paper towels was provided. Pay it forward and leave the Dollar Tree kitchen towels when you leave or throw them away.
-Costco flushable wipes. The toilet paper provided was very thin. If you don't use the wipes, you can take them home with you.
-Book light or Neck Light (look it up on Amazon) if you like to read in bed at night or on the couch. The beach house had 1 lamp in the living room area and the light bulb was low wattage which made reading impossible, I ended up using the flash light on my phone.
-Buy Tide (or your favorite laundry detergent) in disposable pouches (available on Amazon). I took a 1/2 filled pouch with me and it was enough for a week. Everything on the island is expensive. Items were 3 x the cost compared to prices on the east coast (mid-Atlantic area) of the USA.
-Bring spices, tea, snacks, ziploc bags with you.
-Be sure to take before pictures of the beach house and after pictures in order to prove that you did not damage anything within the beach house. Send the owner pictures of any damage that you find. I found quite a bit of damage and sent pictures to the owner as discovered.
-When arriving, take your luggage into the house via the back deck since there are a lot of steps at the front door.
-Print out maps of the island and bring them with you, this will be helpful as you drive to various beaches and visit various sites.

Sophia is an INCREDIBLE host! She is extremely responsive and does absolutely anything she can to ensure your stay is as amazing as possible! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!

Beautiful and serene!
My husband and I loved staying in this little beach house! Amazing views, great beach, very neat and well stocked. You definitely need a car, but it's essential to have one anyway. There is so much to do in Exuma and this was the perfect retreat at the end of the day! Thanks for a great stay!!

Great Aqua Escape
Great house, great host, great escape... Perfect getaway with a feast for the eyes. We enjoyed the feel of seclusion and the beautiful blue hues as a focal point as well as the night sky. This was a great place to relax and get out and explore the surroundings! We hope to return again in the future for another wonderful stay.

Best Rental on the Island
This is the best one bedroom rental we’ve had on the island. Beautiful setting, beautiful home! We loved the location - private and serene, close to one of the best beaches (Coco Plum) and great restaurants (Exuma Point, Shoreline, Big D’s). We will definitely be back!

Cottage perfection
This cottage is exactly as described. It is very clean and sits right on the water. The kitchen comes well equipped for those who like to cook for themselves. The bathroom is gorgeous and comes with plenty of towels.
You are a bit removed from everything but that was perfect for us.
Sophia was quick to respond to questions. I highly recommend staying here.

We loved the location. Very quite and relaxing. The view was awesome. Being close to the point was great because we had several snorkeling options according to the wind. There is a staircase that leads to a very private beach, which was really nice. Ms Sophia was awesome and very responsive to my messages. The house was well furnished and up to date. We I’ll definitely be back. I do have one suggestion if you go. Get all the food, drinks, and alcohol before you get there. Which is a good thing because of how peaceful it is. It is about a 20 min drive to a convenience, and liquor store, but there is a couple little store that has some essentials about 5 mins away. All in all, a great place to stay!!

Beautiful spot in paradise!
This property is absolutely amazing. It's just as advertised, very clean, modern amenities, stocked with all the things you'll need to enjoy your vacation. It's located in a secluded area on the north side of the island. It's very easy to find and a very quiet part of the island. There is a lovely beach just steps down from the house. The beach was private and we only saw other people out there once. A short walk from the house is Exuma Point Bar and Grill. They had amazing food and drinks and it was fun to walk there and back. There is an interesting cave to explore along the way. Sophia had great suggestions on places to go and things to do. She recommended a boat operator that took us on an amazing day trip to see the area. This is a really nice secluded spot perfect for a romantic getaway, a nice solo beach trip or even a small family. Wifi is provided. You will need to rent a car which is easy to do at the airport. Coco Plum beach is a short drive from the house and it was amazing. We also drove all over the island checking out the sights. We particularly enjoyed the view. Waking up to a beautiful quiet beach and enjoying the dark sky full of bright stars at night. This really was an amazing place and we highly recommend it.

Heavenly peaceful location
All I can say is that the description and the actually house and amazing views are under represented by the pictures!! The house is tastefully and beautifully decorated and constructed . Lovely neutral to green, turquoise and blue shades of furniture decor accentuates the beautiful ams goegous water merely 30 ft away from the large back porch. The huge porch overlooks the scenic ocean and there are very quiet and accessible beaches within less than 200 steps away ! My husband and I had a fabulous time and it was our peace of heaven! Can’t wait to recommend to friends and family! Sophia is a great hostess and very responsive! House has a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom! Exuma Point is the place to be if you love quiet beautiful turquoise ocean vote and vast serenity!!

This home was so cute, and perfect for the two of us! We arrived at check in a little late, and Sophia greeted us and gave us fresh water for the evening since nothing was open. We did not experience any problems while we were there, but she was close by if we needed anything.The views from the deck are incredible, and you could see the ocean from both sides of the home. I enjoyed looking out the front door each evening, watching the sunset and seeing the beautiful ocean view. Loved the walk way down to the ocean. Super secure and beautiful for pictures!I enjoyed a bike ride one evening as well. Thanks for having those handy! Shoreline is a quick 5 minute drive from the house, and it ended up being out favorite place to eat!Thanks again!
