About this villa rental

Yumey Sands Villa by Exuma Exclusives - a 3,150 sq.ft. Villa, located directly on Exuma's most famous beach, Tropic of Cancer Beach (Atlantic side of the island, approximately 40 minutes from the GGT Airport).

With the history of the Bahamas in mind, Yumey Sands Villa gives a nod to the original name for Exuma while offering its guests the context of classic Bahamian refinement. In a pallet of soft grey, light linen, and tender aqua, the great room’s peaceful expanse is enhanced by a conversation encouraging circular dining room table. A short pathway gently slopes forward between the pool and seaside, extending a daily invitation to stroll along the beach, promising a healthy beginning to each seaside stay.

The Villa boasts an expansive oceanside patio with a heated infinity pool, lounge area, and dining area, giving you magical views of the turquoise waters of Exuma as well as Turtle Island. Turtle island offers gentle protection from the crashing waves of the ocean, providing Tropic of Cancer with calm and relaxing waters. With relatively calm waters, the area is great for swimming and exploring on kayaks. The beach is sandy all year round and stretches for 2 km's making it ideal for sunrise/sunset walks or runs.

First time to Exuma?
You’re in for a treat! There are so many things to experience in Exuma and the Cays - there is something for everyone. Our guests’ favourites include exploring the gorgeous beaches with crystal blue water, visiting the famous swimming pigs and iguana island, swimming with sharks, sea turtles or sting rays, snorkelling, diving, fishing, kayaking, golfing at a world-class course, enjoying a beach-side picnic, indulging in fresh local seafood, and so much more!

Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide:
Upon booking, all guests automatically receive our curated Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide to help you save time planning your dream vacation. This complimentary package is carefully crafted to answer (almost!) any question you may have around planning your trip, recommended activities, restaurants, or points of interests, cost expectations, and the island in general.

Customer Service:
By booking an Exuma Exclusives home, you can be confident you’ll receive the highest level of customer service before, during, and after your trip to Exuma. Our expert local property management teams can assist you with any aspects of your stay including, but not limited to: grocery delivery, chefs and local caterers, rental vehicles, excursions (such as visiting the swimming pigs!), babysitting services, fishing recommendations, and any other local recommendations or assistance you need. They have a wealth of knowledge about the island and are committed to ensuring you enjoy all Exuma has to offer - hassle free.

Important things to know when planning a trip to Exuma:
- Renting a car is highly recommended. Almost all of our guests rent cars for the duration of their stay and it is the best and easiest way to explore the island. Additionally, Exuma is unlike other islands - golf carts are not a typical form of transport on the main roads.
- Protect yourself from the unpredictable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip that protects against any unexpected travel disruptions or delays. We’d be happy to recommend specific providers.
- Thinking of a boat rental? Boat rentals on Exuma are typically daily rentals only (no overnights). Therefore, it may not be necessary to pick your house based on the presence of a dock. If you’re bringing your own boat and your property doesn’t have a dock, please identify your closest Marina (beginning of description).
- Plan ahead: Restaurant reservations are recommended for peak seasons, particularly for large groups!

Insurance:
We are committed to protecting our homes so that all future guests can enjoy them the same way you will, which is why we've partnered with “Superhog: Know Your Guest”, a leading vacation rental guest authenticator & damage insurance provider. Please note that prior to check-in, we will send you more information and ask you to input your details to activate this coverage.

Other Rules:
No parties. No exceeding guest count on property. Minimum 7-night stay over peak or holiday seasons and/or weekend to weekend bookings. Christmas (night of the 25th) and New Years Eve (night of the 31st) cannot be booked together, except for stays of 14 nights or longer. Instant bookings are subject to 24-hour review to ensure adherence to house rules. Note: A 1% non-refundable processing / administrative fee will be due for all cancellations. If rebooking to future dates, this fee will be waived.

This was our second year staying at this property and we couldn’t love it more! Absolutely beautiful house with a great size pool right on the most beautiful beach! The house is fully equipped and perfect for the three families and four kids we had! The property manager is very easy to get in contact with if you have any questions and the beach is completely private and crystal clear! The house is in perfect condition with a beautiful kitchen with an open floor plan and an amazing living room! We down the days until we can come back!

This property is perfectly located on the most beautiful yet uncrowded beach. It is nicely appointed and well-equipped. This area is somewhat remote so a car is helpful if one is staying for any length of time. Andy is a terrific host and his local team is very responsive and exceptionally helpful. All in all, a wonderful vacation. Definitely returning next year!

This house is all you can ask for and more! Beautiful decor, huge family gathering space with plenty of bedrooms for privacy, clean, well equipped - kitchen with anything you could ever think of at your fingertips, a lovely pool, and the most beautiful beach in the world right off the back deck… Andy gives you all the info you need before you get there, and Judy is available for anything you need while you’re there. The bar just down the beach is so cute and fun! Santana’s and Tropic Breeze are amazing for close local food. The people of Exuma could not be more lovely! We cannot wait to return… ♥️♥️♥️

This was our second visit to Exuma and Little Exuma did not disappoint. The villa was beautiful but many things were not working. The AC in the front 2 bedroom do not work. Although we reported this is was never fixed. Also, the water had a strong sulphur smell which went away after filter was turned on. But this was an on going issue through our stay. The roads leading to the Villa are extremely bumpy and dangerous so be aware before renting. This location is very far from restaurants and Georgetown so having a private chef and cooking at home is a must. The catered dinner we had with Chef Kriston from Tropic Breeze was amazing. It was the best meal we had on the island!!! We did use the chef recommended by the Villa and that was just ok. The beach was truly amazing and spectacular. The villa did not have any deck umbrellas which would have been nice. During the day it is too hot and sunny to sit outside. No outdoor fans were provided so the covered deck and the balcony upstairs were rarely utilized. Although description states that paddle boards are provided we found out we had to rent them. The kayaks and the beach toys for sand castle were a treat. Kitchen was well stocked and having a double washer and dryer was a bonus. Would recommend having more games/puzzles and movie collection. From the villa you can see the sunrise and sunset everyday. The Tropic of Cancer beach is definitely the most beautiful beach we have been to.

Walking into the house was instant perfection. We had planned that our arrival day would be a bit of a wash by the time we got unpacked and settled, but we were wrong. Groceries were all put away and ready for us, cabinets and drawers were labeled for ease, and the rooms could not have been a more perfect set up. We were in the water within thirty minutes of arriving and didn’t leave the house much after that. It was exceptionally well stocked with everything we could have possibly needed and the most perfect setup for a week of relaxation and family time. The beach was exciting to snorkel each day and the kayaks gave the option for more exploration. The pool was the perfect wind down from the open water swimming. The house is gorgeous and still very comfortable.

We had the most amazing stay! The house is so beautifully decorated and well appointed…the pictures are beautiful, but it’s even better in person. We worked with Judy to have groceries delivered which worked out well due to grocery hours / limited availability. Our family loved our stay so much that we booked the house for next year while we were still there!

We had an amazing week at Yumey Sands! The house is just as advertised and the view off the deck was absolutely breathtaking. As many have mentioned before, the kitchen is well stocked (even had spices, ketchup, S&P, etc already in the cupboard), the beds are very comfortable, and there was no shortage of kayaks to use for exploring. Brea's just down the beach is a great amenity as well! We had the perfect trip and would highly recommend Yumey Sands to others!

House had everything you could possibly want and was very clean! The house was beautiful and the beach was as pretty as any beach any of us had ever seen! Judy was very responsive to all of our needs and her daughter and her son came and cooked us a great meal one night! Went on a seven beaches tour with Captain Justin from Exuma Water Sports which was also wonderful! Ate at Santana's 3 days in a row and the food was great all 3 days! Ended our trip with a night at Blu on the Water and the food and service were excellent! Last year we stayed at 'that resort' north of the airport and there was no comparison, Yumy Sands was in a different league! Every amenity exceeded our expectations! When we return to Exuma we know where we will stay!

Our group of four couples spent a week at Yumey Sands Villa in March 2023. Everything about the villa was better than represented in the listing. The home was clean and stocked with every convenience we could possibly want. The kayaks, paddle board, and beach chairs were used almost every day.....except for the day we took an excursion with Robert's Island Adventures (highly recommend!). Some of our group kayaked out to the islands off shore to explore, while others relaxed on the beach or poolside. The road to the villa is quite rough....we made sure to get rental vehicles with plenty of ground clearance. As a result, the beach was NEVER crowded.....the most people we ever saw on the beach with us was 10 or so. Communication with Andy was great before the trip......and we didn't need to contact Judy (the manager) at all during our stay. Be sure to pack bug spray for the no-see-ums......they were out in full force! (typical for the Bahamas - not a house issue). The beach was perfect and the colors of the water can't be captured in words or pictures - would love to return to the Tropic of Cancer beach!

We just returned from a week at this beautiful property. Everything was perfect. The Villa has everything you could possibly need inside and out. The pool area is great for the kids with amazing ocean views. We enjoyed many beach walks - it's about 2km of perfect white sand beach. Judy the house manager had groceries pre-stocked which was such a nice way to arrive and also arranged a chef for all our dinners - all the meals were fantastic and Chef Dana was amazing! - would highly recommend. Thanks Chef Dana and Judy! We look forward to returning to this property.

The house was amazing and the owners have clearly thought of everything, including the most comfy beds ever. We ordered a groceries from Judy and also arranged a catered dinner through her, which all worked out perfectly. As described, the house is on a very quiet part of the island with only a beach bar that can be walked to. Was perfect for most, but some were a little restless with that. The no-see-ums are bad (Bahamas thing, not a house issue) so use the baby oil when they are biting. The beach and water are incredible, and even those of us that have previously stayed out of oceans ended up swimming because it was so perfectly clear.

We spent the most magical week at Yumey Sands with a group of 10 ranging from 6 to 76 years - everyone had such a wonderful vacation that we’re already planning when we can return! The house was very well appointed and has all the comforts of home. We did most of our meals at the villa and cooked ourselves and the kitchen had every utensil/gadget you could imagine. The house come with kayaks, beach umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys for outdoor entertainment all day long. There is even a cupboard full of board games/books and video games for the kids in the evening. The beach is steps from the house and is the most beautiful clear turquoise water I have ever seen. There is even a little bar less than a five minute stroll down the beach so that you can get a fancy cocktail every afternoon - the best Bahama Mama on the island! The only drawback were the bugs (but not enough to deter us from returning!) The mosquitoes and no-seeums are relentless in the evening and no one in our group was spared. I highly recommend you wear baby oil (for the no-seeums) followed by bug spray (for the mosquitoes) or avoid going outdoors after dusk. I also recommend packing lots of snacks, especially if you have little ones, because food at the grocery store is quite expensive with limited selection. Overall this was an A+ vacation - can’t wait to return.

Yumey Sands house was amazing and is located on the nicest, prettiest, and most lowkey beach on the island. We have stayed several times in the Exumas and this house by far exceeded our expectations. The house is well appointed, and the owners have thought of everything. The kitchen has everything you'll need, including different types of coffee makers, a ice maker, a water cooler with plenty of bottled water, and so much more. Lots of comfortable space throughout the house inside and out; beds/pillows/linens are extremely comfortable. Very comfortable patio/deck furniture and lots of it. Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards, and pool toys for use. Judy the house manager responded to texts right away. Two sets of washer/dryer were great for our party of 7. Highly recommend this house and we plan on returning soon.
