Amazing Week! PERFECT location!

Just spent the week at Casuarina House. You literally could not ask for a better location. I don't see why you would go to a place like Exuma and not stay right on the most beautiful water you will ever see. The beach Casuarina sits on is secluded for the most part, long enough for morning and evening walks, has a little bit of snorkeling right out front and is 10 steps from the house. There are NO rocks. We have two children, ages 5 and 8, and they just flew right into the water and played in the sand for hours. The house is very comfortable and beds are great. Couch is a fold out if you need it. Internet works great and was never down. Cable TV and electricity never went out even in a horrible storm! Tons of dishes and towels and the washer and dryer (you will need to buy some detergent) worked good. The house does not have a blender, which would have been nice for beach side drinks.

We rented a boat at Mimm's and car at Thompson's. There is a comment book at the house with entries by over 50 families that is such an amazing resource which details directions to nearby beaches and places to eat. Bring bug spray, not only for the house, but the entire island. We would definitely recommend this house and location with no reservations! Enjoy!

Incredible!

My wife and I just returned from a week at Casuarina House on Great Exuma, where we visited about 25 years ago ( and to our surprise, the very same house). We joked about the improvements made since our other stay (central A/C, electricity without a generator, new furnishings, etc), but relished the same spectacular view and expansive, virtually private beach just steps from the front porch. The caretaker, Norman, was most attentive and even provided some groceries since our arrival was after grocery stores closed for the day (close at noon on Sundays). For those seeking high end pampering, the Sandals resort a few miles north might be better. But if you want to relax, do what you want when you want, and enjoy a beach you could call your own, Casuarina House is a dream come true. While a few earlier reviewers reported issues with no-see-ums, we had no such problem, maybe thanks to the prevailing sea breeze we enjoyed all week. We will always cherish our 2 stays at Casuarina House, and just maybe will be back for a 3rd time.

Ashley made the rental process simple, and was a great source of recommendations. We rented a car from Thompson's and a boat from Minn's and would likewise recommend both. Another suggestion is to make sure you trek on down to Little Exuma to eat at Santana's and pick up a rum cake next door at Mom's.

This house, and this island, may not be for everyone. Thrill seekers, people who need around the clock activity, and those who can't slow down their lives could be disappointed. For everyone else, you will not regret your visit.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!!

My husband and I found the perfect get-a-away at Casaurina House! The house was absolutely the perfect place for a quiet romantic vacation. The house was charming and welcoming...we both felt like we were home. My favorite place was sitting on the wrap-around porch, watching the ocean, drinking my morning coffee, and listening to the sound of the waves. The beach was very private. We only saw 1 or 2 other people and most days we were all alone! The people on the island were VERY friendly and the house was located just far enough from Georgetown for peace and quiet, but also within easy access of restaurants and shops. We both can't wait to go back! Casaurina House is the best kept secret on Great Exuma! I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for the perfect Bahama vacation!!!

Thank you for making our trip so wonderful!

A wonderful spot

We just returned from 2 wonderful weeks at Casuarina House, and it was everything we hoped it would be. Rathr than repeat all the glowing reports, I'll just confirm that they're accurate. Here are a few more:
BIKES: My husband was delighted to discover 2 serviceable (not fancy) bikes in the shed. Being Dutch, he's convinced biking is THE way to get around. He pumped up the tires, oiled the chain (oil and pump in shed) and explored most of the island- he was able to travel on little side roads through many of the settlements, and spoke to lots of local residents, had food and drink in roadside stands, and was able to appreciate both the culture and perspectives of the local population.
COCONUTS: The yard is full of coconut palms, and we ate fresh coconuts every day. The coconut water made into ice cubes was a nice addition to evening drinks, too!
PORCH: the totally wrap-around porch was a huge plus. One could always find either shade or sun, whichever is your preference.
MASTER BEDROOM: Really comfortable beds. Sleep with the sliding door open (screen closed) and listen to the ocean all night, then wake to see that gorgeous turquoise water from the bed - amazing.
BUGS: we didn't find them bad at all, but we're used to the "friendly, in-your-face" black flies of Cape Breton. We had a steady breeze, which probably helped. There were only a few at dawn and dusk, and a little spritz of bug dope solved the problem. Some people are more attractive than others, though - we didn't use any spray, and I had only 1 bite, but my son-in-law had quite a few. So, just be prepared, but not scared.
The house is very comfortable and has pretty well anything you might want. The location is ideal, and the beach is beyond wonderful. Georgetown is a little village, but has everything you need. Some things are expensive, but vacation isn't really the time to pinch pennies on a loaf of bread. For some reason, cheese is much cheaper than here. Go figure.
In short, it's a pretty perfect place to spend a memorable vacation. We met the owners and rental agent, and spoke to the caretaker - all of whom were friendly, helpful and obliging.

Wonderful Beach House!

We really loved our stay at Casuarina House. I know there's one bad review on here, but I have no idea what they were talking about. I thought the house was remarkably clean and well furnished. The beds were comfy and clean, nice living room and dining room, and best of all a giant wrap-around porch! The beach was gorgeous and totally deserted.

The only reason I give it 4 rather than 5 stars were the sand flies/midges/fleas (also called no-see-ums). I've heard different names for these biting insects, but we did get eaten alive by them at the house, especially around dusk while we were grilling. These are not typical mid-west no-see-ums either. Their bites itch like crazy--much worse than mosquitos. Mine were so bad that I had to get benadryl cream to stop the itch, and I had almost 50 bites on my legs. We learned to cover ourselves with deet bug spray, but even that didn't completely stop them. It made the last few days of our trip much less enjoyable, so if you go, make sure you bring bug spray and don't stay out around dusk too much.

But other than that, the house was gorgeous and perfectly located. The locals were warm and friendly, and the food we had on the island was a real treat.
