I want to start off with saying that Lisa was an excellent host, always available to answer questions and work through issues. The house and its rooms/bathrooms/overall decor is on the older side and has a slightly weird floor plan (main entrance through one of the bedrooms, there is only a sliding door (no lock) on the side of the house where kitchen and dining area is. We had a few issues (no fault of the house), rather island dysfunction like electricity that was shut off which affected the water. The water was consistently shut off 10pm-6pm due to infrastructure work on the island. Again, no fault of the house but inconvenient for 2 weeks. What we enjoyed the most is the view from master bedroom and kitchen areas, deck. Being able to jump in the water and swim right below the house was amazing. What we enjoyed the least was the uncomfortable couch in the TV area and the super small bedroom in the middle. Lisa really did the best she could to make our stay comfortable, however next time I would probably look for a more updated, modern house (there are a few in the area). Good experience overall though. For those traveling to Exuma first time, the infrastructure is not the best (poor roads, potholes, issues with electricity and water). The kitchen in the house is really well equipped for those that know how to cook - not many good restaurants in Exuma and food is expensive. Georgetown is far from fancy and GGT airport is a joke, especially Silver Airways (never again).

Our family of 5 loved our time at Xanadu. The home is beautiful, and Lisa and Frank have gone above and beyond in stocking it. Great communication and recommendations made the experience even better. Highly recommend!

This home was more than perfect for our stay in Exuma! The views from the house and back deck were stunning. The fact that we could walk out of the house and jump in the water to snorkel made the trip even better! The house is stocked with everything one could need for their vacay. The beds were super comfortable. And they have a great library of DVD's to watch at night :) Lisa and Frank were so accommodating and helpful through the entire process. We will definitely be back again!

Maryellen M. My family and I recently traveled to Exuma for the first time in May. First off it is one of the most breathtaking islands that we have ever had the privilege of visiting! Secondly, we couldn't have picked a more beautiful property to stay at then Xanadu House! The house has the most spectacular views from every angle!!! It is well appointed with everything you could possibly need for your island stay. A wonderful surprise for us was the treats that were left in the refrigerator upon our arrival! Lisa and Frank were a wealth of information about the island with great communication!! We will be visiting Xanadu House and Exuma again of that we are sure! This house is a beautiful hidden gem!

We spent Spring Break in Exuma. There were 6 of us at Xanadu ages spanning 16-84 years old. IT WAS PERFECT. The view is amazing. The pictures don't even do it justice. Our family of 4 would adventure out during the day and the grandparents were completely happy enjoying the view from the enclosed sunroom (morning) and out on the deck (afternoon). The sunroom is incredible when the breeze stops and the bugs move in. The little no see ums and sand gnats are everywhere you go on the island, but you don't notice them if there is a breeze...when the breeze stop, watch out! The sunroom offers the perfect solution...you can enjoy the view and stay away from the bugs! This house is incredible. It has more than you could ever need. Most VRBOs have a "starter" of everything (detergent, dish soap, shampoo, etc). Lisa and Frank provide EVERYTHING. Full size in most cases. I was completely blown away. So generous and completely unexpected. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Even the refrigerator had most staples (mustard, Mayo, spices, sauces). This is a nice touch in the States...but SUPER helpful on a remote island. Lisa is an incredible communicator and provided so much information in preparation for our trip and was super responsive while we were on island with questions. She went above and beyond. We will be back!
