What a wonderful trip with our family to Exuma! My husband and I have traveled to Exuma several times and decided to finally bring our kids. We had the best time and what a wonderful experience having Jolly hall beach just steps away from the house. The house is centrally located with easy access to restaurants and grocery store. We love Exuma and can’t wait to return

Booked this property in January for a one week stay in May and the owner notified us he double booked when we were only two weeks away from our trip. Essentially, we were told we could not check in until day five of our trip, and so we had to scramble to find another place. One of the main reasons we booked this house was due to the dock so we could keep a boat we were renting. Not only did this mess up those plans, but we also had to pack up all of our things half through our vacation and change properties, which was obviously a huge hassle. The owner did offer us a different property on the island, but it was towards the northern end and did not have a dock we needed. Check-in was smooth, but the property needs lots of repairs (e.g., water came through the drywall ceiling in the kitchen when showering upstairs, toilet seat lid was broken and unusable, sliding doors are extremely difficult to lock, broken microwave over stove.) The view of Jolly Hall beach is fantastic, but there is a good amount of road noise from being right on Queens Highway. The kitchen had very few essentials (only a few cups, no pot holders). On a positive, the caretaker (Willy) was incredibly nice and helpful. After a power outage one evening, we lost hot water, and he was very responsive to come out to the house to resolve it.

The location of the house is just minutes from Georgetown and close to groceries (Exhuma market is best, Smitty's is good for little extras you forgot), gas and places to eat. It is just steps to Jolly Beach and it was mostly empty so it is like a private beach. At most there was about 10 people on it and that was a holiday weekend. The water is warm and clear. The shower outside was great for washing off the sand. The property is very secure and we felt safe the entire time. The house is nice and handled four people fine, but I wouldn't want more. Beds were decent. The decks and views are incredible. People need to keep in mind that everything is relative. The island is not built up or fancy and is not the US. The roads are okay to bad and so are many of the properties. The house has some wear and tear and can use some more maintenance and furniture is not perfect, but that is Island life. The beach chairs were broke, but the grill was replaced brand new. The big doors do slide open, you just have to figure out the trick to it. Overall, for the price, you cant beat the house with its great views and its central location. I definitely recommend renting a car and there is plenty of parking.

Overall we enjoyed the house but it needs some work. On the plus side the location and setting were great. There were a lot more people on the beach every day than we were led to believe. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, well laid out and very comfortable. The house is very attractive and well decorated. The viewsto the outdoors are beautiful. On the negative side, the living room and kitchen areas need some work. There were no teaspoons and only 1 cutting knife and cutting board, The microwave over the stove was broken so a repacement was on the already crowded counter space so cooking was challenging. All of the outside doors were very stiff, hard to open and lock. The upper and lower patio folding doors were not openable at all( looks like for a long time). There were 4 of us and it was a tight space. We don't think you could manage with any more people and be comfortable. The indoor and outdoors chairs and furniture were very worn with many holes in the cushions. One of the webchairs broke through on our second day as it had many rips in it prior to our arrival. When we arrived, the barbq tank was seized shut and the master ceiling fan didn't work properly. We informed Willie and the owner and they were replaced on monday afternoon. Many of the light bulbs in the house were burnt out so we had to exchange them with some we found in the house. All four of us agreed that we wouldn't rent it again.

Everything was perfect. The on-site manager was super attentive and helpful. The local neighbors were so friendly and helped with recommendations on what to do and where to go. We enjoyed the adjacent beach which was a bonus. The house was lovely. The view was amazing. Beautiful turquoise water. We snorkeled right outside the house swimming with schools of fish and seeing large starfish. We were picked up by a boat at our dock and had a great time exploring sandbars, swimming with large sea turtles and hanging at the Chat and Chill playing volleyball, eating a great lunch, sipping awesome cocktails and watching the stingrays. We took another day trip to see the iguanas and the swimming pigs. It was incredible! The house was close to everything. I can’t say enough good things about our whole trip. We can’t wait to return!

Great location near Georgetown and centrally located, which made both ends of the island accessible. Property management bought groceries ahead of arrival and was responsive to Wi-Fi and HVAC blips. Great back porch view. Rented a boat and docked it overnight. Easy to explore and get to Stocking Island from cove. Jolly Hall beach was pretty and secluded. Recommend renting beach chairs.

We loved our stay at the Jolly Hall Beach House! The location of the house was perfect for us with George Town located close by. There are also a couple of grocery stores close by which was nice when we needed to run out and get something quickly. Willy the property caretaker is very friendly and was able to answer any questions that we had during our visit. The house was very clean and comfortable. The parking area had plenty of space for 3 cars. The beach is easy to get to with access being just off the driveway, the path is short and there is an outdoor shower area that is great for rinsing off. The dock was nice for the boat that we rented, the water at the end of the dock is only around a foot deep at low tide. The outdoor pavilion is located up the hill from the main house and is accessed via a path and steps. The view from the pavilion area was incredible. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would stay at the Jolly Hall Beach House again.

First time at this house but not first time in Exuma. House was fabulous and had everything we needed. We were on the dock daily and location was convenient to everything! We will definitely be coming back and staying at the same house!

We come to Exuma a few times a year. This was our 1st time staying on Jolly Hall. The location of the home and the views are breathtaking. Especially from the pavilion on the hill. Access to the beach was right off the driveway and the shower there was excellent after getting out on the beach. The bedrooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels for each bathroom. I'd recommend a few more beach towels. We don't get in the water as much in the winter, but in the summer we're in every day. The living area downstairs is a bit tight. We had friends over and it can get a bit cramped if you have more than 4 people there. The kitchen is small and is pretty well stocked for cooking. I'd recommend better cooking utensils and knives. The bbq grill outside was a plus as well as the outdoor furniture. The pavilion on the hill was great when we had company over! It has good lighting and electricity. We work A LOT while we vacation so having good internet was a plus. Willy the caretaker was phenomenal. We had only a few bumps, but he was there to care of anything. Excellent communication and a really enjoyable person. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

From the minute that we were met at the airport by Willy til the time we drove back to the airport we were completely comfortable. The house was clean and completely stocked. Great Exuma is a “Long Island” so it was nice to be centrally located to food/liquor/shopping/boat rental/beach etc. We WILL promote this property to friends..

My family had an amazing time in Exuma at Dan's home on Jolly Hall Beach. The house sits up high so you have a wonderful view of Jolly Hall but still have direct access to the beach which hardly had anyone on it while we were there. The water was very calm and that was important as I had two children under 8 with us and they loved to snorkel there. I enjoyed my morning coffee on the back patio each morning. Dan was very helpful and quickly responded with all of my questions I had with in just a couple hours each time prior to our trip. He was very accommodating and easy to work with. Willie the care taker is awesome too. He was very attentive to us and was always there to help us, as this was our first time in Exuma. I had no issues with our stay and hope to plan another vacation soon at Dan's home in Jolly Hall. We rented a boat from Minn's watersports for 3 days. We enjoyed the sandbars and collecting sand dollars. Be careful if you rent a boat from Minn's though as they keep them in Lake Victoria and the only way in or out to explore is a very narrow opening under a small bridge which can be tricky if you have zero boating experience. Thankfully we live in Florida and my husband has boating experience. I just can't imagine being the first time on a boat going through that. Overall awesome trip and we will be back for sure. Thanks Dan and Willie!

Just waking up to this view and having a quiet coffee was such a treat. This small beach is a public one, but sparsely used. We were a family of 5 adults. We had plenty of space and all the amenities we needed. The rooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen was small - but a perfect size for our needs. (complete with coffee maker and blender !) The grill was most appreciated. We did need the rental car. Even walking the 1.2 miles to Georgetown is sometimes difficult with a small road and no sidewalks. Exuma is a lovely island! The family wanted to move there. The beaches and sandbars are so beautiful. Roberts Island Adventures gave us a trip that our family will always cherish. Thank you for sharing your home with us. PS - I loved my "wonky dock." It will get fixed soon, I know. But its tilt (due to hurricane) added a quirky charm to my sitting by the dock seaside. Willy, was seriously - the BEST.

Overall the longer we stayed the more my family and I came to enjoy the location and adjacent beach and views. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it.Negatives: The owner mentioned the dock was damaged but how much surprised us - it has no walkway from the shore to the end pavilion unlike the picture. We rented a boat for two days and anchored off Jolly Hall Beach near the house and waded in 2-3 ft of water which worked out fine - this may not work for some folks.Upstairs table and umbrella in one of the pictures were not there.Need a car to get to nearby locations.Positives: Willy the caretaker met us upon arrival and pointed out local stores and answered our questions and was available by mobile for more questions.Due to the bright sun we used the patio off the kitchen which is shaded, has comfortable chairs and a great view of Jolly Hall Beach and the beautiful cove. A propane grill was off the patio which we used most nights. We rented a car (Thompson’s car rental near airport) - the property is near grocery (Exuma Market), liquor store, Victoria Harbour (we rented a boat from Minns Water Sports) and the airport.The property has a gate to the adjacent Jolly Hall Beach which was very nice - the cove is somewhat protected and saw sea turtles most days - we rented paddle boards (from Dive Exuma) providing a nearby fun activity.The location is also right across from stocking island – so a short boat trip to several beaches and the infamous Chat N Chill bar/restaurant.The kitchen has a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The A/C worked well and the bedrooms were comfortable.

Just completed a week stay,! House is well equipped breath taking views! Very clean and well cared for property! Willy the groundskeeper was friendly and attentive! Highly recommend renting a car, house is well located in middle of island but a must is touring island to visit beaches and stocking island. Make sure to visit Cocoplum beach and hike Stocking Island and visit Chat and Chill!Only suggestion for owner would be to add hooks on bathrooms for drying towels and to purchase. Hairs lounge chairs and beach chairs? Other than that we love it and the house! Definetly recommend home and we plan to book again!

We felt like we were all alone most days on one of if not the best beach on the island. Willy the caretaker was extremely helpful! If we had an issue he was on it and took care of it immediately. You are close to town, close to grocery stores and restaurants. Take adavantage of the gazebo are as it has an amazing view. We ate lunch and dinner there as long as it was windy. Take big spray if the wind isn't blowing the bugs are biting. There was a wifi issue but Willy worked hard to get it resolved and fixed it before we left. Had my daughter not been taking online classes probably wouldn't have been an issue. If you want rest and relaxation I would highly recommend this villa, beds where very comfy.
