We came to the Bahamas to celebrate a 40th anniversary. The island, the house, the water- were perfect. And the Bahamians were so helpful and kind.: Awesome!

We came with a group of 16 and the house accommodated everything we could have imagined. The kitchen was large enough for our group and room to cook, all of the kids had comfortable beds, including the adults, Josh, the house manager was very responsive, and the pool was big enough to accommodate our group as well. I would definitely stay here again.

To the Sandbanks Lodge Villa owner and management team, thank you so much for a beautiful stay. The villa was absolutely breathtaking, everything from the view, décor, and amenities was definitely worth it. The view is so beautiful and tranquil, it was therapeutic waking up to it every morning. The pictures and video are great but to be 100% honest, it just does not do the property justice. The ability to walk out the back yard and into the ocean for miles at low tide is a lifetime experience that you sounds made up when explaining it to others. What an incredible experience. The location was a little tough to get to because the roads are not well paved off the main street. However,we felt very safe. Robert and Josh promptly answered all of our questions which was much appreciated. Because they didn’t have guest booked right before us they allowed us to check in a little before check in time. This just speaks volumes of how accommodating management was and we greatly appreciate it. We look forward to staying at this villa again on our return to Exuma.

The house was more than comfortable for the 10 people in our party. Everyone was pleased with their rooms and the master suite was outstanding. Beautiful and interesting artwork throughout. The pool was a fun gathering space! And the kayaks and paddle boards were often used by our group. The QR codes with instructional videos were wonderful! So helpful. And Josh was readily available for whatever we needed - which wasn’t much! We highly recommend this property for your next vacation!

Enjoy the place roomie

Loved every minute! James was easy to communicate with for the months prior to our stay and Josh was great when we arrived. Home was clean and perfect for our group of 10. We enjoyed walking the sand bars and low tide and jumping in the pool at the end of our beach days. Amazing home amazing people to work with. Thank you James and Josh!

House was amazingly beautiful and couldn’t ask for more amazing views to wake up to every morning! We had a group of 12 with 4 teenagers who loved every minute! The roads to the house were tricky but made it ok with the rental mini vans. Watch out for pot holes! The house had everything we needed to cook , towels, washer and dryer, kayaks, and paddle boards. Pool was great and even had a daily visitor who became our vacation mascot “Chewy”! Would highly recommend and can’t wait to get back there!

Our family was very comfortable and enjoyed the accommodations, pool, kayaks, location to many island activities, and short distance to the Georgetown airport. The views from the many balconies of the water and sandbar was spectacular. There were several issues that were resolved quickly. This is the reason we are giving it a 4 rating.

When we arrived on Exuma, we were told that the property manager would meet us at the airport. He was not there. We were able to get a hold of him and he told us that the new process was for him to meet us at the property and we would need to find it via Google Maps and he would meet us there in an hour. We found the property ok via Google Maps but he never showed up that day. When we arrived we found the house to be extremely filthy. The floors were not cleaned, there was dirt and filth throughout the house. There was mold in the refrigerator, the kitchen was disgusting, food was caked on the backsplashes, ovens interior and exterior, countertops were filthy, light switches looked like they had never been cleaned. The first night I pulled back sheets to tuck in one of my children and it was obvious that the sheets had not been cleaned. There was mold in multiple showers as well as trash. There were screws and other debris found all over the patio and pool deck. It looked like on the 2nd floor patio, someone had thrown up and it was never cleaned as well as burned matches and dirt all over that patio. On the last night there, one member of our group had major injuries to her foot because she tripped due to missing pieces in the patio near the laundry room. The manager, Joanes, showed up the next day and I told him we wanted to let everything go but that we were disappointed in the cleanliness of property. We just wanted to enjoy our vacation. There is a ton more to say.

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location! Our family enjoyed all the amenities that were available. On our first day, we just stayed on property and enjoyed the pool and took a day to recover from traveling. On the 2nd day we used the provided equipment to kayak and paddleboard out to the the sandbar. The third day we rented jetskis through Splashzone Water Sports (242-464-1459) Matthew promptly delivered two 3 seater jetskis and a 3 seater towable float to the house. I called and scheduled with him in the a.m. and in 10 mins we were able to confirm the equipment and delivery and two hours later we had the jetskis and enjoyed for the afternoon. They have full day rentals as well as boat rentals available as well and could not have been more accommodating! Day four was windy and rainy so we just popped into the pool between showers. The pool is nicely heated so you can enjoy it even if the temps are otherwise cool. Day five we went to Cocoplum Beach and exuma point to do some snorkeling, shelling, and playing in the sand. We didn't find too many shells or sand dollars, but we did see some kitesurfers (looks like it would be really fun, but most of us were either too young or too old for!). The sand dollars are found on the sandbar below the house on the cliff. But at Exuma Point, we saw lots of seastars and jellies. The last day we took a private boat tour with Roberts Island Adventures. Also recommend!

We stayed at Sandbanks lodge for my husband’s 40th Birthday. The house is in an excellent location, just a short drive from restaurants and beaches and has unbelievable views.

We had the absolute best time at Sandbanks Lodge! The property was even more beautiful in person and was everything we hoped for and more! I group of us came down to Exuma for my husbands 50th birthday and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. James and Joanes were easy to communicate with and they made sure everything went smoothly for our trip. We had a few questions and needed help w some stuff at the property and Joanes was extremely helpful. He helped us sent up boat tours and fishing too. We cannot wait to come back!!

Beautiful place!!! Very spacious !

This was a multi generational family vacation. We had planned this trip for a couple of years and it did not disappoint. We found something for everyone. The little ones loved the pool and we took the kayaks to a nearby island. We loved the beaches and exploring the island but mostly we enjoyed spending time together at the house. It was perfect for us.

The house was gorgeous!! Very clean, modern, plenty of space. The views from the house were breathtaking! The pool was beautiful! We walked from the house to the island, simply gorgeous!! The owners are very responsive and kind. The road to the house is an adventure, just rent a SUV. But once you arrive to the house, it's worth it! Can't wait for our next stay!

Awesome property and communication all around was great! Road to the property definitely could use some work which isn’t the homeowners fault. Besides very minor issues our stay was excellent and we definitely would stay again but rent a different type of vehicle.

We had 17 , we all were very comfortable at the home. it was a terrific place for a family vacation.

3 families (7 adults and 7 kids) stayed at Sandbanks for 5 night. Large house, new and clean. Modern with all creature comforts. Well stocked kitchen too! (2 full size refrigerators!) Roads to house were EXTREMELY rough, but the sedan, crossover and jeep all survived the roads multiple times. Joanes is very helpful and answer quickly. Only (and not major) things we needed help with: laundry room was locked and we needed dryer to dry towels after rainstorms and there were no coolers available. Overall- great house and would recommend for a large group.

Friends for over 40 years from college... Totally enjoyed this house.... The view, floor plan, separate bedrooms with their own bathrooms, the pool..... Would highly recommend this property... Off the beaten path.... private

The location is perfect. It is right on the water. At low tide you can walk to the massive sandbar and the islands across Bonefish Flats. You'll want a high clearance vehicle for driving on the road to the house. The area the home is located in is quiet and relaxed. James, the owner, sent a booklet about the home with some excellent restaurants and suggestions for things to do. It was SUPER helpful! The house is great for large groups. We had a total of 9 people. We all had space to spread out. Each bedroom has an attached bath, which were all very nice. The beds were super comfy. It has what I'd call a 3 cooks kitchen. I love that 5 gallon jugs of water were attached to the fridges. The fully stocked kitchen comes with all of the pots, pans, utensils, dishes, coffee makers, french press, etc. you'll need. The spices that were at the house were minimal (salt, pepper, and a little garlic salt). We didn't have a problem finding groceries at the store (except tortilla chips). We loved the infinity pool! We used it morning, noon, and night. We absolutely loved that it was a heated. The home was very clean when we got their, however we had 9 people staying at the house for 8 days. Cleaning supplies were very minimal. We had to ask for a broom from the caretaker, Joanes, who brought a broom (he's always very responsive). We ended up putting a towel at each of the doors to help minimize the sand we tracked in. Joanes help us find a charter boat for an all day tour, which was AWESOME! He also helped us find a chef who made a delicious Bahamian dinner one night. We loved being able to do laundry and having a really nice washer and dryer. Internet was spotty at best and didn't work reliably. After resetting the router every 30 minutes, we just kinda gave up (it was good for us to not be glued to technology). Each bedroom and two common areas had TVs. Don't plan on using them. The listing said satellite TV was available. It was not. We didn't find snorkeling equipment at the home. We loved the home, location, Joanes and will absolutely be back!

This was the perfect home for 2 families with 8 children, ages 18-10. Plenty of space, and perfect location!

This house was incredible! It was larger than expected and the layout was great for multiple families traveling together. We were four families with 2 kids each. Everyone had ample privacy and their own bathrooms. The kids had tons of space to spread out and play. The pool and pool toys were great. The entrance to ocean was easy and the water was so calm because it was on the Caribbean side. We walked out to the sandbar and island to explore. Also, the location in proximity to Georgetown was great. Short and easy drive to get to the market, church, dock, souvenir shops etc. We explored the whole island and this house was a great base camp for our large group!

This property is stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had two families with adult children. We had plenty of space and amenities. The property book sent by the owners was invaluable, as was Joanes!! We COULD NOT have managed without Joanes. A couple of tips for future travelers. 1. You must rent an SUV. A car will not manage the roads to get to the property. 2. Bring cash. Venmo is not an option. Credit is not always available. 3. It’s an adventure. Not a luxury resort trip. Be prepared with the right shoes and clothes. I will definitely be back to this island!

The house and views are stunning. The kitchen and living areas are plenty big for a larger group. Bathrooms in each bedroom are awesome. Fairly central location, close to unpopulated beaches, and a short drive to the market. With the massive sandbar and islands to walk to across the bay, we enjoyed staying at the house just as much as exploring the beaches. Joannes, the care taker, was truly great. He responded promptly and handled any questions we had. Overall, wonderful experience.

We enjoyed our stay, the house is fantastic and as advertised. Having access to the kayaks, heated pool and paddle boards was great as we used them every day. We only had a couple of questions for Joanes while we were there, he was quick to answer and help. The road to the house is a bit rough so make sure your vehicle isn’t too low to the ground. There were 10 of us in the house and we had plenty of room. The week went by too fast!

We loved this house - it was perfect for a large group. The layout with suites makes it very comfortable with everyone having their privacy. The bonefish flats are gorgeous and we loved using the paddle boards and kayaks on property. The kitchen is well stocked and the decks are comfortable and have an amazing view!

Excellent host, Joane the caretaker was my “best friend in the island” He just made everything easy for us, anytime we call, early morning or late night, he was there for us, so costumer service 100 pointsThe house was just beautiful, more that we expect, it. My grandkids have the time of their life. Excellent location, we walk from the house to the island In front of the house back and for 3 miles, the water was about 3 feet high the most and sometimes was only a sandbar. Just beautiful

Well, from the day I booked until we arrived home last night, this has been one of the best rentals we’ve ever had! The owners communicate frequently from their home in the UK and Joanes, their caretaker, replies within minutes any time you have a question. This house is utterly spectacular! The pictures do not do it justice. We had 17 people in our party, four families with ages ranging from 13 to 50. We decided to rent their other house, Seabreeze Lodge, which is right next-door as well because we had so many people but to be honest, we probably didn’t need it. This house is so well-equipped and huge that it could have satisfied our needs all on its own. The view is stunning and being on that side of the island has always been my favorite but on this trip it especially was the case as the winds were coming out of the Northeast. The other side of the island was huge waves and wind but we were protected the whole time. At low tide you can walk all the way from the house to the little island that is about a mile away. At high Tide you can paddleboard or kayak there. The house has plenty of paddle boards and kayaks to go around. Alternatively, you can just lounge in the pool which is the only heated pool I’ve ever had on Exuma. Perfect for March! The beds in this house are extremely comfortable and clean. This is something that is really important to me as I am a light sleeper and if the bed is not comfortable I toss and turn all night. I slept like a baby here! There are three master suites that all look out on the ocean and three other bedrooms that are spacious and very comfortable. The master suite on the third floor is like a palace! People were playing music and frolicking till late at night and I never heard them! The owners sent brochures for both homes to us well before our stay so that we would have all the information we needed. And Seriously, Joanes is an absolute gem. He met us at the house with a massive smile and took care of every need we could possibly have had. I desperately hope that we will get to stay at sandbanks again!! Thank you so much for sharing your lavish piece of paradise with us!

Unbelievable location. We will be back. This was my 5th trip to the Exuma, Bahamas and this house has taken the cake. Joanes, the property manager, made the trip even better. I cannot thank the Robertson’s and Joanes enough for making this stay unreal. The sunrise and sunsets in March are nothing insane. Go. Hands down. Book the trip

A little off the beaten path but worth the drive!
