About this house rental
Get away from it all! A very spacious house with 1800 square feet inside plus a large wrap around deck.Breathtaking views of the Atlantic and Caribbean ...Experience Great Exuma from the comfort and privacy of the Hummingbird House and enjoy stunning 360 degree views of the colorful waters of Elizabeth Harbor, Master Harbor, Crab Cay and the south side bone fish flats. We are located only two miles from Moriah Harbour National Sea Park. Soak up the sun and revel in the mild maritime climate of the cays while making this well appointed refuge your own, with space for parties of up to 6 guests. Lush tropical foliage surrounds this centrally located property that offers easy access to the bone fish flats by foot but there is no beach there per se ; take a 10 minute drive to Georgetown or to access beaches. Or stay in and enjoy the unique open floor plan of the upper floor: a fully equipped kitchen, living room and dining room areas and 2 covered, elevated porches connected by a walk around deck space. The upper floor also contains a single bedroom and half bath as well as a day bed in the living room that sleeps 1 guest. Downstairs you’ll find spacious king and queen bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, and the house laundry room. Wake up to the tranquil sounds of hummingbirds and bananaquits that frequent the tropical gardens surrounding the house.
The house is located 20 minutes or less( BY CAR )from the beautiful southern beaches, including Hooper's Bay, Jolly Hall, Stocking Island, Forbes Hill and the world famous Tropic of Cancer (voted among the top ten beaches of the world by “Island Living” magazine) and Pretty Molly Bay Beach. The bonefish flats, known for world-class fishing, are a ten minute walk away...wade into bonefish and do your own thing and the Moriah Harbour Cay National Park is minutes away by car. These waters are fabulous for kayaking, paddle boarding, snorkeling and other water sports. Please note we are off the beaten path and Exuma roads are not great. We use a small Honda but you may want to consider an SUV.
The private location of this house provides the perfect getaway for those seeking peace and tranquility despite being close to several restaurants and the amenities of the quaint town of George Town. Whether you enjoy relaxing, golfing, bird watching, beach combing, fishing, water sports or night life, the Hummingbird House is your home away from home for enjoying all the cays have to offer. We purchased the home in December 2013 so we have just started renting the house. Everyone has really enjoyed their stay so far. Please contact us if we can provide more information and ask about stays for longer than one month.
**We do have a well that is treated with chlorine but the quality of the water in the Exuma aquifer can vary with storms and run off so we do not drink the water. We suggest drinking only bottled water on the island . There is a 5 gallon water jug in the pantry if you would like to use . Please refill if used . The water refill store, Naturally Fresh , is located about a mile north of the house before Cheaters Restaurant and it is $4 for 5 gallons which is a reasonable way to go.
We do offer a discount for stays 30 days or longer. Please ask for more information. GUESTS MUST BE 25 OLD UNLESS WITH PARENTS. We do not refund due to hurricanes but guests can use their credit for a future stay. We encourage travel insurance during the storm months.
Our house is very private. We use an enhanced cleaning and sanitizing protocol. We have excellent WIFI and food delivery can be arranged...sequester in paradise if you like.

The Hummingbird House was a perfect homebase as we explored. The views from the wrap around deck are stunning. Margaret was a great host and very helpful, communicating with us and answering questions we had. We will always remember our time at The Hummingbird House, the beautiful water and delicious food.

This was our third trip to Exuma and hummingbird house did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and the house was very clean and had everything we may have needed. Margaret had great communication and answered any questions we may have had very quickly. We would love to come back and stay again.

From the moment we booked until we checked out Margaret was wonderful to work with and she quickly responded to any questions. Hummingbird house has incredible views and it off the beaten path. The location of the home in Great Exuma was great especially since our favorite beach is only 20 minutes away (Forbes Hill). We felt like we were in our own little world and heard nothing but nature. We were able to enjoy watching all of the birds and also stayed covered when the rain rolled in. The home was perfect for our family and the kitchen is well equipped. We also took advantage of the grill on numerous occasions which was great after a long day exploring. We made many memories on this trip. Thank you Margaret for sharing your home with us!

We had a wonderful stay at Hummingbird House.
Everything was very clean and welcoming. The view is amazing. Margaret was always available for us and answered us a few questions quickly. Margaret helped us when we lost our wallet. That's not a matter of course. Thank you very much!

I just can’t say enough about our wonderful stay at Hummingbird House. We made our reservation about a year in advance and then needed to ask to make changes twice. Margaret was always quick to answer our messages and was extremely accommodating and extremely nice about it. So appreciated! We felt well prepared with all the info that was sent to us about the house and the area. The house was clean when we arrived and had everything we needed. It was lovely to have paper products to get started and to not have to pack beach towels in our luggage. The house is adorable! We loved being able to spend the day at the beach and then drive the hill to the house and relax on the amazing wrap around porch. The views are beautiful and we loved the visits by all the birds and checking out cool insects. We felt like we got a full island experience. If we are lucky enough to return to this beautiful island we would not hesitate to stay here again. ❤️

The property was completely fabulous! The host was very friendly and responded quickly to texts. We had a problem with the dishwasher, and the maintenance man was there within minutes and fixed the problem. Best VRBO we have ever stayed in by far. Thank you, Margaret!

My family and I stayed here for 9 nights. The house is off the beaten path, but you feel like a local fast. The view feels like paradise. The house is a short drive to all the beaches we visited. We felt safe and comfortable. Margaret was an excellent communicator. And the house had everything we needed.
We can’t wait until we can return.
Thank you!

The property is beautiful in every way.
Margaret is extremely helpful. Views from balcony are fabulous. We stayed here for a month, so experienced almost everything Exuma had to offer, from the most bluest water you'll ever see, to the friendly island people. If your looking for a very, very nice place to stay, ( this is it ) !

Great hidden gem located close to Georgetown. Margaret was amazing and responded quickly to all of my messages and questions. My husband and 2 other friends stayed in Hummingbird house for 5 nights. the views from the front and back of the house are so beautiful. The home had everything we needed for a perfect little getaway. We ate in a couple of nights grilling out and enjoying those amazing views. The roads getting there are a little rough, but we rented a van and didn't have any problems. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and for the price, you can't beat it. Thank you so much Maragaret & Mike for sharing your lovely home with us.

I loved how high up we were. The view of the land was beautiful. The bird sounds were sweet. I also like the local music we'd hear in the distance, albeit infrequently. The home is very clean! The kitchen is well-equipped! The deck was where we ate our meals - delightful!

My friends and I (group of 5) loved this house in Exuma. It was extremely cozy and quiet in the area at night. We spent most nights on the deck laughing and talking about how amazing our trip was. The owner is very responsive and helpful. The house was extremely clean, accommodating, and inviting. I definitely would recommend this house if you want a peaceful quiet place to relax after your long days exploring Exuma.

Place was gorgeous. Clean. Everything we might've needed was in a drawer somewhere.
The house booklet had maps to the beaches and stores. It made exploring easy and fun. Any questions I had were answered immediately both from owners and manager. Not one complaint.

Peaceful with STUNNING VIEWS!
Cozy, peaceful, comfortable with STUNNING VIEWS! If you are looking for a “home away from home” retreat where you will be closed to nature but yet just a 10 minute drive to town, this is the place! The hummingbird house is perfectly located closed to George Town, it is surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful birds that visit the house daily, did I just say it has TO DIE FOR ocean views?! You will not believe all the turquoise water that you can see from the deck! Margaret, the owner, was AMAZING and available 24/7, she gave us great tips of places to visit and guided us through our stay, she even when ABOVE AND BEYOND to help us through the process for getting our Health Visas approved which is now a requirement to be able to enter to the Bahamas . The house is actually prettier than the pictures! amenities and space were exactly as advertised. you will not have a feeling of being at a resort/hotel BUT “at home”. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children, 9 and 13 years old), we were comfortable with the space and layout of the house, there was plenty of space for 2 more additional people if desired. We would definitely be back to this property! THANK YOU Margaret for making us feel welcomed and safe through our stay.

Great communication and spectacular view
I can’t say enough great things about the place and the owners! Communication was wonderful and the view was great... for not being directly on the water, it may just be the best view on the island. I really can’t say enough about the kindness extended and will be forever grateful for such a lovely trip.

Ultimate Peace & Tranquility with views to match !
Absolutely perfect for us ! We loved it ! We spend our days out on a rented boat or exploring the island & coming back to Hummingbird House felt like coming “home” ! It was immaculate, A/C worked great, the kitchen was fully equipped & much appreciated as we cook a lot & on the few rainy days we were happy to relax on the veranda with a great breeze & just stare at the view. Watching the sand bar appear & disappear with the tide was great & at night the stars are amazing ! We WILL be back !

Tropical Paradise
We had such an awesome stay at this tranquil home. The house is surrounded by lush vegetation and the views are to die for. The home is very clean & well maintained. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The outdoor shower is a must! The property is very private & peaceful. Margaret is an absolute pleasure to deal with. The location of the house is fantastic for getting around, it’s just 5 mins into town. The locals are very friendly and we felt safe walking around. Make sure to visit Stocking Island, look for Wally at Elvis Water Taxi in town. Definitely have dinner at Blu On The Water, awesome view. You must also visit Haulover Bar & Grill in Rolle Town, tell Ishmael & Kenya that Chris & Dawna sent you :) they have beautiful property on the water, try to go when it’s low tide, you can walk out to an island across the way on the sandbar.
You will not be disappointed staying at The Hummingbird House. Thank you Margaret & Mike for sharing your home :)

Wonderful and charming house
Margaret was so helpful and prompt in responding to all my emails with questions. When I got lost to find the house, she called me right away and stayed on the phone to guide me to the house. The house is absolutely charming with killer view of the turquoise sandbar waters! We would come back for sure.

Margaret was incredibly attentive and prompt in her communication with us. We had a small issue with the electricity on the first night but she had someone out to fix it first thing that next morning.

Great house!
Hummingbird House exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect home base for exploring the entire island. It was nice to come back to a roomy, clean house at the end of the day. The a/c works wonderfully and the breezy deck was amazing. Margaret was wonderful!

Fantastic views!
My family and I stayed at Hummingbird House mid March. The location and house were perfect for us. The home is comfortable and very spacious with large wrap around porches and gorgeous water views all around. Obviously, this is where we spent most all of our time. The location is central and not far from Georgetown which makes it very convenient for shopping and exploring both ends of the island. Driving is easy but definitely recommend a small SUV or Jeep as some roads off the main highway can be rough. The homeowners Margaret and Mike were extremely responsive and eager to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

This house was amazing! It was super clean and the view from the porch is beautiful! The drive isn’t far from anywhere you want to go. Make sure you check out Tropic of Cancer beach. You can’t beat the beautiful clean water. I can’t wait to return and we will be sure to stay here again.
