Photos and Description of the Great Exuma vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 6)

Water's Edge is located at The Cays near The Hermitage on Exuma. This water-front home comfortably accommodates one to six guests. CONCIERGE SERVICE INCLUDED!!

There are three bedrooms and three full baths. A large wrap-around porch faces beautiful sunsets over the water. A fully-equipped kitchen awaits you. The house also features vaulted ceilings, central air conditioning, ceiling fans throughout, and high-quality furnishings.

We really are located at the water's edge. Just a few steps from the front door and you are at the calm and clear water. There is a small marina on the property with a sandy beach. You will have use of a beautiful swimming pool that is shared with only a few other homes. Because most of the other homes are owned by absentee owners, you will most likely have the beach and pool to yourself most of the time!

You will have unlimited use of a tandem kayak also!!

This is truly a quiet and peaceful place to relax and enjoy the beautiful sunsets!!

THIS HOME OFFERS A CONCIERGE SERVICE. She will greet you at the airport, show you to the home, introduce you to all of the amenities of the home and the local area. She will book boating, fishing or sightseeing trips for you.

She will pick up groceries and have them waiting for you upon your arrival.

She will even cook you an authentic Bahamian style meal at the house if you like.

She is on-call at all times during your stay if you need anything.

If you want peace and quiet, look no further. A relaxing walk along the waterfront at sunset is worth the price alone. Or take a short walk to the off-the-beaten path inland blue hole and check out the underwater cave entrance. There is also a new water-side restaurant within walking distance with a beautiful view of the sunset and a full bar.

This property also features a poolside cabana, outside showers and restroom, and a beautiful white sand beach with palm frond umbrellas, for when you might need a break from the sun.

We had a fabulous time in the Exumas and really enjoyed our accomodations at Water's Edge! We arrived to find a welcoming caretaker who went out of her way to insure that we had every thing that we needed. The house was very clean and comfortable and had every amenity that we could think of that we needed. It was wonderful having a refreshing pool to hop in to every afternoon after being out boating all day. We also loved sitting under the cabana every morning drinking our coffee and having cocktails in the afternoons while watching the sunset! We would definitely rent this house again!!

One of the best locations on the island and the best rental I have ever stayed. After renting several rental homes over the past several years I have always noticed one thing no matter how much you pay they are all just about the same. This location was a very pleasant surprise it feels like a home with very nice furnishing. The decor was very nice with a touch of the beach but not overwhelming decor that screams at you when you walk in BEACH. Another very nice surprise is this rental was immaculate. This house has a very home feel to it, which made it feel very relaxing in a beautiful setting. There is a wonderful outdoor restaurant next door within walking distance. I highly recommend and will go there again. There is a laid back feel on this island however there is lots to do. Santanas is a great place to eat on the lower end of the island. Wonderful rental with some of the most beautiful beaches i have ever seen.

beautiful accomodations - Waters edge

Stayed for 8 nights at Waters Edge at the end of June - early July. The home is very nice and the listing photos and appearance were just as expected. The home was clean and the caretaker met us at the house upon our arrival to show us around and tell us about the property. We had a small issue with the air conditioner, however called the caretaker and it was resolved quickly.

The cays community is small, and it was very quiet. The pool and small beach area were very nice. There were alot of mosquitos - so we used alot of bug spray. We did not swim in the lagoon as we did not like the soft sand/mud feeling. Having use of the Kayak was great.

Overall we had a wonderful time in great exuma and enjoyed waters edge immensely. There is a new restaurant open a very short walk away called Catch a fire Grill. We spent several evenings there for drinks/food. The best swimming beaches are on the other side of the island and there are many restaurants/bars within a few miles as well. Definitly need to rent a car at this location.

We had such a marvelous stay at Water's Edge! We made memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

From the beautiful beach (right outside your door) to the most AMAZING sunsets you'll ever experience, this is the place to stay!

You can be sure we'll be back...

Not Peaceful or Quiet

2 of 5
Submitted: May 13, 2011 Stayed: December 2010
The home was in need of some TLC and cleaning when we rented it in December of 2010.
Dogs barking constantly, dog bit two children while we were there...one child needed medical attention.
Interesting atmosphere with lots to do if you have kids, but not quiet like we thought it would be.
House had cobwebs everywhere and cracks in the walls. TV wasn't working most of the
week and kitchen had ants in the cupboards. Showers were in need of fixing because they dribbled instead of flowed. We could see that at one time, the house was nice, but at the time of our stay the house was falling apart and in need of cleaning. The fridge leaked all over the place too. PS...watch out for the huge speed bump that greets you at the neighborhood turn off, it nearly took our exhaust system off the car and we went over it slowly!
We would not stay here again-the island is known for quiet and the caretaker and his dogs are nothing but noisy. The dogs bark at everything; the caretaker yells at them. The dogs bark again; the caretaker yells at them again! This is the only constant all week. The owner of the house was told of all the repairs that needed done, we even sent pictures-she said she was sorry for our expericences. We rented the boat and it filled with water while we were out on the bay, not good. So many things went wrong that they cannot be listed here. This place is not quiet or secluded-there are about 12 other houses right near you. Beware of the honor bar as well, you pay for your beers, not drink some and then replace later on as most honor bars work. The owner of this house may have fixed all the things we told her about in January, but do your homework and search out other lodgings that are more peaceful. We were very disappointed in the trip. I grew up on Exuma and thought I knew what to expect, boy was I wrong. Be very leary of this neighborhood and this rental house.
Owner's Response: I strongly refute this review. Shortly after these guests rented my home I spoke with them and tried to make them happy. Since then, I made a special trip to my property and spoke to other homeowners in the immediate area to find out if all of these things were really true, if so, I was going to offer them a full refund. First of all, many of the incidents described were simply not true, for example the issue with the dog and the child. Even the parent of the child did not have an issue with the dog. Also, the boat was in working order, evidently, the guests did not understand how the drain hole in the bottom of the boat worked. The real reason that these people were not happy will never be known since they will not return my calls. Some people are just never happy, no matter what you try to do to resolve their complaints. Please see the review of the guests that were recently there in April 2011, and you will see an honest review.

We enjoyed a fabulous vacation on Great Exuma. The quiet setting of this home was more than we could have asked for. The swimming pool at the housing development was wonderful. The home was all we could have asked for and more, accurately described in the rental information, very clean and a pleasant place to spend time with our family. I would recommend this property to anyone. We can't wait to go back!!

I've stayed at a lot of Bahamian vacation rental homes over the years, and several times on Exuma in particular, and this one is the best I've ever had. Excellent location very quiet and peaceful, yet centrally located on Exuma so airport, markets, restaurants are not far away. I've been at rentals that are far from any stores if you just need some ice or beer. Its location very close to Tar Bay beach was a plus, too. Very nice accomodation; well-appointed and very clean. They gave us a great referral and discount on the car rental, too! One of the nicer rental houses on Exuma!
