About this house rental
The Sandbar is a new luxury Bahamian beach house located in Tar Bay. We are 8 minutes from the airport. The house is set on a dreamy 4 km private sandy beach. A picture perfect setting has been created for our guests with all the tropical entrapments of palm trees and stunning views of the legendary turquoise waters of Exuma.
A driveway entrance of carved out limestone and Coco Palms reveal an island home adorned with sky blue Bahamian shutters and a creamy white shiplap facade. A window glass door welcomes you where you can see the ocean as soon as you have arrived.
The beach house features a 4 bedroom main house, sleeping 10. Guests will find two King oceanfront bedrooms and one King with a custom Murphy Bunk Bed, all with ensuites. The fourth bedroom has King bed that can be customized to be two Twins. A pocket door provides access to a King ensuite. The beachfront cottage is spacious and offers panoramic views of the ocean. It is fitted with a
King bed and ensuite. It is steps away from the main house and the beach.
The Sandbar was designed to celebrate and create long lasting memories for family and friends. The open living areas encourage socializing while providing spaces for seclusion and relaxation. The Great Room is striking with its vaulted ceilings and whitewashed rafters. An entertainers dream kitchen is the heart of the room and a 6' bar window allows guests to be engaged with the outdoor happenings as well. The custom round dining table for10 will have you sharing food and drink into the wee hours. I can hear the stories and laughter now ! There are comfy couches with a large coffee table you can put your feet on, a swivel Egg chair you can snuggle up in and read in, a games area to play chess, cards or dominoes AND an open area for dancing !. You have to have dancing ! The windows and French doors of the room stretch 32' across the oceanside to an expansive pool deck featuring a covered Alfresco dining and lounge area for 10. The tanning ledge infinity pool is decked out with two tanning ledge loungers, while another six loungers hug the pool edges. A lower deck of white Adirondike chairs provide another area to hang out in and enjoy what I call the "The Exuma Effect"... being hypnotized by the color and sounds of the turquoise waters.
The Lower deck is just steps from the ocean where you can access the storage underneath to gather up your kayaks or paddle boards. While some are taking in the waves, others taking in the pool and 6 person hot tub, I like to head to the kitchen bar and make the gang Goombay Smashers and let the holiday begin !

Tar bay is our favorite place to stay on the island and we absolutely loved our stay at the Sandbar. The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. We loved the common spaces inside and outside of the home. The views from the deck/pool and house are stunning. The house was very clean and well kept. We loved all the hats on the wall and even got to use some. The house is inviting and cozy And really does feel like home. Heather was amazing to work with, very responsive. Thank you for letting us enjoy your slice of heaven. We will be back!

We had the best time at Heather's house! We imagined it would be nice from the pictures on the listing but it's even better in person! The layout of the house was perfet for our group of family and friends. The ocean, the pool, the excursions Heather recommended were all top-notch. If you are thinking about booking, do it already!
5.0 / 5.0
Beautifully appointed house, with an incredible ocean view, anchored by the best outdoor area with an infinity pool. Relaxing, refreshing, and the perfect place to decompress and forget about the rat race. We had eleven in our party including five teenagers and the house accommodated us perfectly. We enjoyed a couple of boat rides, snorkeling, paddle boarding, among so many fun things. Heather was great and I highly recommend the Sandbar! I hope we go back in the future!

We had the most incredible experience at the Sandbar. Heather was so responsive and helpful with our plans since day 1 of booking several months in advance. The home is spectacular - clean and gorgeous. You really can’t beat the view and proximity to the airport. We are already planning our next trip back to this same home! 10/10 truly.
5.0 / 5.0
I honestly don't know where to start because everything was so amazing and noteworthy. If you are considering booking, do not hesitate, you will be so thankful! From the moment of booking Heather is wonderful at communicating and giving you every resource you could possibly need. She is more than your typical vrbo host, she truly cares about your vacation plans. We went with a group of 10 adults and it was perfect for that size group. This home is in the best location, it is clean, has everything you could ever need and THE VIEW is breathtaking. It is truly hard to put into words how at ease you feel the whole time. There are so many caring for the home as well and a simple message away if you have any questions while there. The only negative is having to leave. It is a place we will absolutely go back to again and again!

This was our first time to Exuma and picking the Sandbar house for our stay was the best decision we made. It met our expectations in every way. Not only is the house clean and fully stocked but it is decorated so cute. The pictures on the listing don’t do it justice. At the Sandbar, you will have everything provided for an unforgettable vacation.

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The house was better than advertised and extremely clean. It was very well stocked, which is not always the case. Heather was an excellent host- extremely responsive and helpful and went above and beyond to answer our questions. We had an awesome time and will be back! Also, highly recommend chef Gavin and Betty for delivery food!
5.0 / 5.0
Our family has been blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy many incredible family vacations. Therefore, expectations have gotten high. Somewhat shockingly, The Sandbar exceeded all expectations! The house, the location and views, the amenities, and the help from Heather and her team were all impeccable! I truly can't imagine anything that could have been better. Every detail, big and small, was proactively addressed. So much so that it motivated me to post a review (which I've never done). Thank you Heather!

The house is amazing! We had a group of 6 adults and had plenty of room. The house is exactly as it appeared in the photos, only prettier. Heather our host was amazing! Great communication with Heather, who gave awesome recommendations on restaurants and activities, and had everything ready for us even on last minute requests. Chef Khristont made a wonderful and entertaining dinner for us at The Sand Bar one night that was a highlight of the trip. We were sad to leave The Sand Bar!
5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our stay at The Sandbar. The house is just as great as the photos. Comfortable mattresses and the house is perfectly laid out. We enjoyed the hot tub on cloudy days. Lots of extra toys and beach equipment. Hope to be back soon! Heather was great and super responsive to questions!
5.0 / 5.0
From the day we began the reservation process to the last day of our stay everything was terrific. Heather made excellent recommendations and took care of several of the reservations personally, something the past VRBO owners we have had haven’t done. The house is even nicer than the photos. We recommend Betty for meal delivery and Chef Khristont for dinner (and a song)!
Awesome Al took us the see the swimming pigs. Recommend it and note that it is about a 60 mile ride out and back. Highly recommend The Sandbar!

Everything about this property exceeded our expectations! It is just as perfect as it seems in photos. Heather was a pleasure to work with. We ordered food from Da Kitchen upon arrival which was not only delicious but perfect for leftovers throughout the week. Exuma was absolutely lovely and we enjoyed beautiful weather. Despite our best efforts with diligent bug spray and repellants, the sand flies got us if we tried to be outside in the morning or evening, so that is my only caution. The home is absolutely gorgeous and the owners have really thought of everything! We would love to return! ♥️
5.0 / 5.0
Incredible communication from the property owner. All of her recommendations were perfect from the driver to the chef to the grocery stocker. Everyone was incredibly efficient and very nice. Amazing location and views that cannot be beat. The groceries on the island are very expensive and we had issues with the bugs despite our use of bug spray. Other than that (none of which the owner can control), the stay was amazing. Look forward to being back.

Nestled in sheer splendor, this property on VRBO is a masterpiece of elegance. It surpasses any dwelling I've graced with my presence, rendering future stays pale in comparison. Every facet of this home was flawlessly curated, offering an unparalleled experience with an abundance of amenities that anticipated our every need. It truly felt like stepping into paradise, an experience that has forever elevated my standards. Heather, the gracious host, added an extra layer of joy to our stay with her attentiveness and patience in addressing my myriad questions. A truly unforgettable escape.

Took some friends down to Exuma who had not been before. Chose this house because of proximity to both ends of the island. The house was fantastic and as advertised! Heather was super responsive and made sure we were in good shape every step of the way!
5.0 / 5.0
10 stars! Myself, husband and our friends (9 total) stayed at this beautiful beach house for a 40th birthday celebration. Heather and her staff are absolutely FANTASTIC. From the moment we booked, Heather helped us plan everything, from tips for grocery pre-stock (get the premade Goombay Smash!), a Bahamian meal catered by Betty for our first night (yummy!), car services (Gully and Omar are awesome!), restaurant and private chef recommendations, etc. Not only did Heather help plan, but she always responded to my questions within a matter of minutes (and I had a lot of questions :)). The house itself is even better than the pictures. Everything is clean, well kept, and has everything you need (beach chairs, cornhole, pool floats, snorkel gear, etc.). The rooms are well spaced and gives everyone a place to recharge if need be. The outdoor area, pool and hot tub are wonderful and offer a space for everyone. The view and beach are breathtaking. The property manager, Spence, was incredibly responsive. We took advantage of Gully's services (both car and sea captain) and I am so glad we did. He is very accommodating and had us everywhere on time (with excellent dinner recommendations!). A boat charter is a must to really experience everything the Exumas has to offer! We could not have asked for a better stay and would love to return one day. Thank you Heather and team!

We had an amazing stay in Exuma at the Sandbar! This fully stocked house had a perfect set up for 5 couples with everything you could need including a beautiful infinity pool with breathtaking views! Huge thanks to Heather for all of the wonderful recommendations to make our trip planning seamless - Gully for car service, Chef Julian for dinners, Odyssey Picnics, Exuma Watersports, to name a few! She was so helpful and prompt with communication for several months before our trip which made the actual vacation so relaxing. Her knowledge and attention to detail is bar none! We can't wait to return on our next adult getaway OR bring our kids, as this home would be just as perfect for families. Don't look elsewhere, just book the Sandbar and look forward to the best of Exuma.

We cannot say enough about how amazing our stay was (again!) at The Sandbar. From the time we reserved it to the time we left we had a great experience. Informative hosts, fantastic views, and the house is stocked with anything you need, from the kitchen to beach chairs and floats.
We will be back!

What an incredible property! Heather was great through the planning process, offering contacts and recommendations for anything and everything you need for your trip. The property itself is spectacular. The home is fully equipped with everything you need to cook or enjoy the beach/pool, and the finish-out is top notch. The location and beach are spectacular.
5.0 / 5.0
Would definitely book again!
Fantastic: (1) proximity to airport (10 min drive), (2) ability to run back and forth between a pool and the ocean/beach, (3) quality of beach/view (it's beautiful, was calm, and very private - you will see a few friendly neighbors, but for the most part, we had the beach to ourselves), and (4) space (the house has a great set up for multiple families who need their own space for things like nap times, and a large common area with ample seating for things like board games while cooking dinner). The house is clean, safe, and well-appointed (full kitchen gadgets and even things like an ice maker), and for the most part, updated (a few minor changes would make it perfect - set of stairs down to the beach, exterior fans on the deck to help with flies).
We had one issue while at the home (numerous wasps on the deck that were determined to sun themselves despite us hosing away crumbs) and the owner responded immediately to coordinate the pest control service.
A few tips: (1) rent a car, (2) use AC water sports for your adventure, (3) bring a few toys for kids (there are some in the shed and house, but there's not much for sale as far as beach footballs/boogie boards/etc. in the small grocery stores); house does have snorkel gear/SUP, (4) groceries are expensive and in some ways have more than imagined (beyond burgers),but are short on other items (not all sizes of diapers).
Great location, you won't be disappointed.

I was a little skeptical that the house could live up to the photos. It did 1000%! The moment you walk through the front door, you can see the beautiful view and water you were dreaming of. We had 10 in our group, from 5-65. The house provided so many amenities. The kitchen has plenty of dishes, glassware, pots and pans. (Nice ones!) There are lots of floats, sand toys for the kids, masks and snorkels, and beach chairs. A great Bluetooth speaker. AC works great! Lots of beach towels. Communication with the owner, Heather, is amazing. Ask her for whatever help you need. If she recommends someone or something to do, do it. One of our favorite recommendations from Heather was to rent a boat and hire Gully for our captain. He was so kind and knowledgeable. We wish we had done this twice and maybe even a third day. The location of the house is very convenient. A grocery store and liquor store is very close, maybe 5 minutes away. Maybe 15 minutes to Georgetown. We did rent cars but Gully can drive you, too. I really could go on and on. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had an absolute blast at the Sandbar. Heather was great to work with and the location was unreal. The house itself is in great condition. We will absolutely be back. Honestly, I hesitate to write a high review because I don't want the secret to get out!! LOL.

We had the best time staying at The Sandbar! There were 12 of us for 4 nights and we never felt over crowded.
The pool is as amazing as it looks with the view right into the ocean. The ocean was the perfect temperature and the waves subtle enough you didn't have to worry about getting knocked over. The beach was basically all ours with only a couple other neighbors in sight.
The rooms inside the house were large and beautifully decorated.
Heather had the house stocked very well with everything we needed to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner and enjoy any kind of drink.
We took advantage of the shopping before we arrived (it was great) and Gully was our personal driver for the time we were there. If you plan on making your way around the island or like to run quick trips to the store, I would look into renting a car or two. The cost for a quick 10 min round trip drive for 2 people was $40 and it added up quickly with the extra excursions we did.
We all agreed we would LOVE to stay at The Sandbar again.

This was our yearly Family Vacation that we gift to our 4 adult kids/their spouses and 3 of our grandkids.So much to say about our stay and hope I can say everything to let Heather and anyone wanting to rent this absolutely amazing house how wonderful this was.
1st- this house was beyond beautiful, amazing, magical and I can't even say all the words we all used to describe this house.
Heather was the most amazing host. She had everything and I mean everything that you could possibly need in her house just as if you were at home and even better! Her staff was truly the best. Any requests or questions they were there to explain or help. Heather also provided other contact information for services such as drivers, food service etc and gave her options according to her experiences which was so helpful and made our trip so easy and relaxing. I can't say enough about this house. Plenty of room for our group of 12. And yet enough space to have time to ourselves. Our kids are so ready to come back here and not go anywhere else. Again, I would and will recommend this house to everyone. Best location, best space, best host-best everything. Hope to be back real soon. Thank you Heather for making our trip so memorable.

This was our second time staying at the Sandbar, as usual, Heather the host was more than accommodating, everything was perfect, just as we remembered it! Even though the weather wasn’t perfect everyday, we still had an amazing time and made memories with our family and friends! We got to enjoy the house more this time, cooked our own meals, had Chef Khriston one night (he never disappoints) and spent more time in the pool, hot tub and on that stunning beach! This is not goodbye, but until next time!!
5.0 / 5.0
Perfect trip in paradise. From the moment you book this house the property manager was there to answer any questions or to help book a chef, driver or private picnic on the beach. Once you arrive to the House you don’t want to leave because they’ve thought of every little detail to make this house feel like a home for the duration of your trip. We’ll definitely be coming back to The Sandbar house.

By far one of my favorite vacations to date. The Sandbar was a little piece of heaven on earth. From the property’s location, the beach, the pool, the house and all of its amenities…. absolute perfection. Thank you for sharing this treasure with us for the week! We are already starting to talk about our second trip ;)

It was really hard for us to leave. Heather is super helpful the second you book your stay and is there to answers any of you questions prior to your arrival. The house is stocked with many great kitchen items, very well thought out. The drive from airport to house is maybe 5 mins which is super convenient. The views from the house are one of the best on the island. We would stay at the home again. 🇧🇸💙🙏🏻
5.0 / 5.0
The home is lovely, open, great for large groups, while having plenty of space to enjoy a quiet moment reading (we used the hammock) or just staring out at the unbelievable views. It’s like a rainbow of blues, from the pool, out to the ocean, and the sky. Breathtaking. I have traveled many beautiful places but I have to say, the Sand Bar, and Exuma in general, have the most vibrant, stunning ocean views of anywhere in the world. The property host was incredibly responsive and so helpful. There were a couple of maintenance glitches during our stay such as the smoke alarm chirping one night (due to low battery I assume) and the infinity pool waterfall not working. I managed to pause the chirping and the issue was somehow resolved when we returned from an excursion. Overall I can’t imagine a better place to stay in Exuma than the Sand Bar.

Location is awesome, you'll be on the beach within 10 minutes of leaving the airport. View, pool, and deck are amazing! Would love to come back.

This home is set up beautifully! There is a master bedroom on each side which allowed our 2 families to share the house, but still have privacy and separation for kids. The home is well equipped with everything you would need in the kitchen, pool toys, kayaks, games, coolers and even laundry baskets in each room. Heather has thought of everything! Heather is also very communication and responsive. There was something broken from a previous guest and she was able to fix it quickly (even being on an island) so we could enjoy for our week stay. The location on the island is perfect as you can get everywhere you need without a long drive. We would absolutely come back for another stay!

Totally beautiful property in excellent condition throughout. Very responsive hosts. Gorgeous!!

Not only is this property breathtaking from outside to inside but the owner has literally thought of everything one could use and need in a beach home for several days. She made our whole vacation experience seamless and simply perfect. The management staff was attentive, accessible and friendly at all times. We couldn’t have picked a better home to spend our vacation at.
