We loved this property! Steps from the beach, with a deck and chairs to enjoy the sunset every morning! The pool has a wind break, we used it every day! The pool table and ping pong table were great additions to the property. We had nightly tournaments! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great stay!!!

Loved our week at Dillycrab. It’s a very cool property bc it offers a lot to do. It’s not just a place to store your clothes. They have kyaks, snorkel gear, ping pong, and a pool table……and a pool! The property even comes with an interesting bird named Ralph who seemed to be there every day.
It’s a 10 minute drive from the airport which was super convenient. The property manager/owner was easy to work with and even arranged for coconuts to be cut down for us to enjoy. Thank you Michele for a great week.

Paradise! The Dillycrab House was perfect for our family of 5. Michele was the truly the best host and we loved getting to chat with her throughout the week. Her attention to details and thoughtfulness were recognized during our stay. Michele even picked up some local veggies from the farmer for us and dropped them at the house. The Dillycrab has everything you could possibly need for vacation - beach towels, chairs, coolers, kayaks, pool floats, etc. The private pool was perfect for relaxing and the turquoise water at the beach was breathtaking. Relaxing in the hammock down by the beach was also a treat for us too. We loved Exuma and our stay at the Dillycrab and will definitely be back! Thanks Michele and Howard for making our first trip to Exuma so memorable!

This beach house has it all! Stunning views, beautiful pool, lush landscaping, and well thought-through interiors. Just steps away from the sand and sea, we enjoyed coffee overlooking the waves and endless white sand each morning! Excellent location near the airport and well-positioned to access both ends of the island with ease. The kitchen is fully equipped and the downstairs game room is a teenagers dream! Additionally, everything you need for the perfect beach vacation is there - beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and more. The home owner and property management team were wonderful! Highly recommend this property. FIVE STARS!

As other have said, Dillycrab Ranch is the gem of Exuma, located on a pristine and private stretch of beach, convenient to airport, restaurants, gas station, and groceries. This was our first trip to the island, and Michele was a wealth of info, plus a guardian angel when our return flight was canceled overnight. I know our experience was enriched by her tips and kindness.
The house itself is just the right size and equipped with more than you'd need, but the outdoor spaces are truly where you'll enjoy your time! Just a note that the main living space and 3 bedrooms are on a second floor level, allowing for awesome views of the pool and that blue, blue ocean, but meaning you have to navigate a short outside staircase with luggage or to come and go (small price to pay). There is no internal access to the ground level game room/4th bedroom (consideration with younger kids, but my young adults loved it). Thanks also to Desereen and Jonas for their help and hospitality at Dillycrab in making our stay so nice.
We leave with warm memories and grateful hearts...until next time!

Michele, the home owner was amazing, she constantly ensured we had all that we needed. If you have questions about the island or need some suggestions, she’s right there. The beach is perfect with gorgeous water and soft sand and the grounds are manicured and well taken care of. We’ll be back!

The Dillycrab is a wonderful special place. It was so relaxing and had everything you could imagine. The beach was beautiful and loved the pool and cozy porch upstairs. We had two special resident birds that visited with us. Location is great and Michele was the best host you could ever ask for. A private and peaceful home. Thank you!!! ❤️

Beautiful property, perfect location and friendly owner! We cannot say enough good things about Dillycrab! Some of our party got sick, and had to quarantine, but what a place to do it. There was easy access to the beach, the pool was wonderful and refreshing, and the central location made it easy to get in and out of George Town for groceries. The views were spectacular! The local property managers were all amazingly friendly and helpful. Michele (owner) was easy to reach and also incredibly helpful and kind. If you rent here, you will not regret it! ♥️

It was amazing! The house was beautiful, the water was refreshing and so close to the house. One of the people who manage the property, Jonas, was so quick to be helpful and even got us coconuts to try from the nearby trees. The pool was clean. The overlook balcony near the ocean was beautiful and had nice chairs. The hammock was a little torn but it still worked fine and makes sense with some of the crazy wind. Overall an absolutely gorgeous experience and would 100% come back

The place was amazing. Beautiful beaches with no one around. House has all the amenities you would need, even a generator for the many power outages. The owner gives you all the info you need to have a excellent vacation. Can’t wait to go back.

My husband and i made our first trip to Exuma in February and couldn’t wait to bring our adult kids back with us. Dillycrab was the PERFECT house for us! We loved feeling isolated from the rest of the world but also loved the location of being almost in the middle of the island. Michele is a master communicator and gave us so much information and answered all of our questions. She is a gem. The deck on the beach was by far our favorite part of the property. Even with it being July, there was shade and a wonderful breeze overlooking the gorgeous beach and water. Michele thinks of everything so you don’t have to. I highly recommend this property!

This place is amazing! I have absolutely no complaints about this place. The house is right on a perfect beautiful beach with calm waters. The most beautiful blue waters I have ever seen in person. It rained a lot while we were there but that didn’t dampen our stay. The house within itself is a vacation. We still managed to have beach time everyday even with some rain.The house has every thing you need. Good pots and pans to cook with. Bakeware…everything. We ate out a lot but also cooked plenty. They have kayaks to use. The house is in a convenient location into town. The beds were comfortable to sleep on. The owner is the best I’ve ever experienced with communication. She was great at explaining everything we need to pack, things to do and what to expect for having a great trip. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and she surprised us with a birthday cake. I’m usually ready to come home from a beach vacation. Instead, I could have totally stayed longer…didn’t want to come home at all. We will definitely have to return. Thank you Michele for allowing us to enjoy your place. It’s perfect.

Best sand ever and gorgeous beach! Great location near airport but not bothered by jet noise. Easy to get around by car. Comfortable, well outfitted house with lots of "toys" in the rec room, pool floats, nice pool. Honestly, our friendly, helpful hosts thought of everything. We had a great stay and would definitely consider going back.

Our family of four stayed at Dillycrab for Spring Break this year. What a wonderful property! We enjoyed everything about our stay, from the amazing views, sheltered pool, the private beach and comfortable house. Michele, the owner, was extremely responsive and communicative from the time we booked to questions on our last day. She truly helped us make the most of our stay. We also loved exploring the island, especially swimming with the turtles and Coco Plum Beach at low tide - an oasis! We can't say enough about Dillycrab!

Fabulous property with a two minute (if that) walk to a truly extraordinary beach — wide, long and nearly your very own.
House is well equipped, beautifully maintained with a wonderful host. Michele could not have been more accommodating.
We will return.

DillyCrab House was the ideal spot for my family to get reacquainted with beautiful Exuma. Michele and Howard, the hosts, have created a private paradise, on a very pretty beach on the north end of the island, only minutes from the airport. The house is absolutely charming and the second floor porch, living and bedroom layout was perfect for gazing at the gorgeous ocean, enjoying meals together and relaxing in very comfortable bedrooms. The master suite is spacious with a fabulous bathroom, the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly want, and the downstairs rec room is a huge bonus for watching tv and playing games. The pool is surrounded by a lush tropical garden and has a great grill and tiki bar setup. Michele and Howard are a lovely couple and have thought of very detail to make staying at Dillycrab House a wonderful experience! They were in residence in the guest house next door and we really enjoyed getting to know them and hearing about their plans for improving Dillycrab Ranch and their generous philanthropic work to improve the quality of life for the islanders. They are also happy to help you with loads of great recommendations and are very knowledgeable about everything from the best spots to eat to fishing guides.

Just got back from the Dilly Crab Beach House. Travelled with my husband and another couple. We loved our stay. The location worked perfectly for us and the beach is spectacular. The house is lovely and well maintained and was exactly as advertised on VRBO. We were so comfortable in our lovely rental house. Our hostess Michele is amazing. She is so helpful and responsive. Every question was dealt with in advance of travel and she was always helpful during our vacation. I highly recommend this property. You won't be disappointed.

Our family of five just returned from the most incredible trip of our life and we already cannot wait to return. Michele is an incredible host and a beautiful person, kind and helpful and you can tell she genuinely enjoys making people happy. This is evident from all the reviews and was a big part of the reason why we chose Dillycrab over others. What I hadn't fully realized is just how incredibly stunning the property and the beach it is on are. Simply breathtaking, no words or photos to describe the absolute magic you feel walking out onto that beach. The sand is the most beautiful creamy white and the water is a blue like you have never seen before. And you have this beach completely to yourself-it is like out of a movie, indescribable. We visited other beaches in the area (by car) and none came close. You could spend your entire stay between enjoying the home and taking in the beach, and the addition of pool and playroom is fantastic for kids. Waking up every morning and seeing the sun rise from the living room was such a treat. Less than a minute walking and you see it rising in person. Things we loved: so easy to get to Dillycrab from the airport (maybe 10 minutes) ~ complete serenity and feeling that you were alone in nature's beauty ~ how comfy and practical the house is ~ the gorgeous garden with so many flowers ~ fresh coconuts that we drank and ate by the pool ~ being able to take long beach walks in complete solitude ~ the temperature of the water, so dreamy ~ the ease of reaching nearby stores for food etc. Thank you Michele for this unforgettable experience, we have made memories for a lifetime and will always come back.

The Dillycrab was a wonderful find! Beautiful location, just moments from the airport, on a practically deserted picture-perfect beach, you’ll find this well-appointed and comfortable house with every amenity you might want. We loved the pool, kayaks, game room & comfy porch with hammock! We really enjoyed using the included kayaks and paddling over to a nearby island one afternoon—a very unique experience! (best for calm days and/or experienced paddlers)
Our host Michele was fantastic, providing us with SO much info before and during our stay, and stellar communication! The staff on island were also lovely and helpful. As happens on many islands in summer, we did experience some power outages but we were well prepared by our hosts, the outages were fairly brief & didn't cause much of an issue.
We would very happily return again to the wonderful Dillycrab and spend many more relaxing days enjoying beautiful sunrises and cool breezes.

The Exumas have the most beautiful water in the Caribbean and the Dillycrab is a fantastic spot to experience this magical island. The house is exactly as pictured and Michelle is an excellent host, giving you so many suggestions the only problem is you need more than a week to do it all! By the end of the week, we felt like we were leaving home. We’ll be back!

Amazing secluded property
A definite must stay in Exuma. The property is very secluded, the beach is only occupied by you. The entire rental experience with the owner was absolutely the best I have ever experienced. Michele was so informative from the day we booked until the day we checked out. We will be back

Fabulous location and host
From the moment we booked our VRBO with Michele and Dillycrab Ranch, to the follow-up attention after we departed, Michele truly was a very communicative host and provided all of the information we could possibly need to make our stay in Exuma wonderful. Their location is on a beach that is wonderful for walking in both directions, and you will likely have the whole beach to yourself. Michele and her family truly thought of everything when stocking the house and supplying above and beyond what normally comes with a rental - all the way down to about 15 or so plush beach towels and a huge washer/dryer which we made use of daily.
You will not be disappointed with this rental,I highly recommend it. And of all of the islands we've traveled to, Exuma is in my top 2 favorite places - we will be back :)

Great Family Vacation
We stayed at the DillyCrab for Spring Break 2022 - 2 adults and 4 kids (ages 15, 14, 11 and 9). This was all of our first visit to the Bahamas (or anywhere in the Caribbean); we opted for DillyCrab over a resort hoping for a more personalized experience along with space for our family of 6. We were not disappointed! The location is perfect, the house is comfortable and equipped with everything you could need, and not only do you have your own direct beach access but your own pool. Michele is a fantastic host who works with you every step of the way and provides more information and recommendations than you could do in a week. Highly recommended for any family looking for a one of a kind experience.

Wonderful week at Dilly Crab
We enjoyed the house and location near the water immensely! The water is so blue it looks fake. Wake up to the sunrise outside your window, walk down to the pool or beach, you really may not want to leave the house at all! The game room keeps kids entertained when they're looking for a break from the sun. The locals are super friendly. Overall, a ton of fun!

Amazing property, amazing host
Where do you even start? This property is incredible. The beach is endless, the water crystal clear, the house stocked with everything you could hope for and more, and the pool always warm and clean. Thank you for sharing your property with us for one week that went by much too quickly.
Michele, you set a high bar for any other property owner/manager to live up to in the future... I don't even know where to begin with all that you did to make this a wonderful trip. The information you provided us prior to travel, your attentiveness while we were there, your willingness to share so many of your personal items so we were able to minimize what we brought, and the smooth check out process. All very much appreciated!! Desereen, thank you so much for helping fully stock us with food upon our arrival so we could get straight to enjoying the beach and having fun, and also arranging for a hot spot for us to make sure our daughter could reliably log into school while abroad. Jonas, thank you so much for going out of your way to come and cut us down some coconuts to enjoy the fresh coconut water.
I simply cannot say enough positive things, so I will leave it there. Thank you so much for everything! We hope to come visit again soon!

Dilly Dilly!
We had an amazing stay at the Dillycrab Beach House! It is so well appointed with everything you need for a week of fun and exploring Exuma, from the fully stocked kitchen to pool/bar area, kayaks and loads of beach accessories. You can spend your days exploring this amazing island and return to your own personal resort! And the location is perfect, a 5 minute drive from the airport and right in the middle of the island. Michele does everything to make your stay comfortable and as easy for you as possible. Highly recommend!

The best rental I have stayed in! It felt like home!
I can't say enough good things about Dilly Crab! This house is the best stocked house I have ever rented. It didn't feel like a rental at all. Everything you needed was there. The kitchen felt like my kitchen at home and you will want that in Exuma because you will have quite a few meals at home just so you can enjoy time at the house more. Michele, the owner, was beyond helpful with everything. She sent me so much information about the house, island and answered any and all questions I asked. And I asked quite alot. She was responsive all week and checked on us quite a bit. Her house manager Desereen was a jewel too. She picked up groceries for our arrival. This is a must! My 3 kiddos (12, 9, and 6) loved the downstairs rec area. Ping pong, pool, and the swimming pool. There were rafts and kayaks and we used all of it. Loved using the BBQ and the bar outside as well. Even played a game of scrabble on the deck!!! Michele made the board herself! Labor of love that was totally worth it. The views from the top porch were breathtaking every day. Loved the hammock and enjoyed sitting outside for sunrise and sunset. I honestly can't say enough about our week at Dilly Crab. We will be back!!!
