Stunning Waterfront and Tiki Bar - Paradise Found Villa- HGTV Bahamas Life!

Welcome to our beautiful Paradise Found Villa located on the island of Great Exuma, Bahamas.

Water and beach views from the patio, dining room, living room and master bedroom.

Paradise Found is perfect for couples, friends or a family wanting extra space with three bedrooms and two and half bathrooms. The villa has many extras including, a full kitchen, internet, 3-flat screen TV's, DVD player with movie library, board games, books, gas grill, and beach accessories that include 3- kayaks, paddle board, ice chest and water toys. Our villa has over 1800 sq. ft. of outdoor living space with an enclosed screened patio, tiki bar, outdoor shower and a large waterfront deck where you can sunbathe or enjoy the sounds of the surf mere steps away. It's always Happy Hour here with the addition of the TIKI BAR. Paradise Found is equipped with amenities to ensure you have the comforts of home and much more on your holiday.

We are steps from the pristine clear blue waters of Elizabeth Harbor and Jolly Hall. You can swim, fish and find great snorkeling right in front of Paradise Found Villa. Enjoy the spectacular views while you sit on the patio or in the sandy sunbathing area. From here you can watch for the occasional dolphin, sea turtle, stingray swim by or any one of the numerous seabirds fly overhead. A 1/2 mile walk or short drive from the villa you will find a stunning secluded beach at Jolly Hall and also a short drive is Hooper's Bay beach. Swim in the turquoise waters, sunbathe on the white sand beach, find starfish and sand dollars right offshore. At Hooper's Bay you can snorkel and see many sea turtles.

You will find many offshore cays to explore by renting your own boat or by taking a tour. There is great bone fishing, kayak tours of Moriah Harbor National Park or take an exciting tour up the cays to see the swimming pigs. You will discover why Pirates of the Caribbean and Johnny Depp chose to film and buy a home on these pristine cays.

Come experience the beauty of Great Exuma and the serenity of Paradise Found Villa.

We stayed at this beautiful beachfront home for 5 days and it exceeded all our expectations. The house was clean with a lot of room for comfort; it had everything we needed. The location was great, the house is close to the stores and restaurants, but I would recommend renting a car to see the whole beautiful island. Rachel was quick in responding to my questions. I highly recommend Paradise Found Villa for a relaxing and memorable vacation.

Thank you very much for the excellent review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us. We are sorry that you had an issue with the hot water temperature. There is a temperature gauge for the electric water heater that we could have adjusted to your liking. Sorry that we were not made aware of the issue that we could have remedied for you during your visit. We hope to see you again on your next visit.

Our family of four had the most amazing stay at Paradise Found. The location is perfect, central to everything on the island. The house has everything you could possibly need- kitchen was so well stocked, beach chairs, tons of beach towels, umbrellas, games, movies, books, etc. The house itself and the outside area are beautiful. We were so thankful for the amazing communication with our host Rachel, she was always quick to respond and she helped us find accommodations when we decided to come a day early to avoid a major snow storm. We loved Exuma and we highly recommend staying at Paradise Found Villa!

It's got EVERYTHING! Loaded up with home/kitchen amenities like no house we stayed in before. Plus the kayaks, water and beach gear, games, movies, books, coolers. Home is as pictured, beautiful, quiet and private. Excellent communication from the host. We really liked the central location. Short drive to Georgetown and reasonable drive to Little Exuma or Rolleville. I would not hesitate to book this house again. This was our first trip to Exuma but not our last. Be sure to rent a boat from Minns and visit stocking island( Saw and swam with dolphins one of 2 days.) Also a full day boat tour to the Thunderball grotto with Exuma watersports. Santana's great food, Splash was a great hangout, all the incredible beaches. Truly enjoyed our stay at Paradise Found and Exuma!!

Beautiful stay in Exumas

Paradise Found was a perfect location for our family for the week. The location is central to the airport and George Town. The place is perfectly described and is clean and more spacious inside than the pictures make it seem. The outdoor patio area is beautiful with several areas to sit and play for the kids. It was perfect for our family.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel Haloulos

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

After traveling in the Caribbean for several years, in 2006 we came across the peaceful and beautiful islands of the Exumas. Our family fell in love with the people and natural scenery of this Bahamian island and we have returning almost exclusively ever since. In 2017 we decided to make Exuma our permanent home away from home and purchased "Paradise Found". This secluded villa is nestled on 2.5 acres of coastline property and has spectacular views of Exuma's Elizabeth Harbor and Stocking Island. Our extended family enjoys the peaceful surroundings and we hope you do as well.

What makes this property unique

The home sits on 2 1/2 acres and has spectacular views of Elizabeth Harbor and Stocking Island from inside the home, on the large outdoor patio, and sandy lounging area. Walk down to the water and jump right in. It has a sandy bottom, and steps down to the water. Lounge and watch the sea life swim and the island birds fly by. Enjoy the early morning sunrise over Stocking Island while you enjoy your first cup of morning coffee or tea. Enjoy evenings of fun and relaxation at the villa Tiki Bar. It's said to be one of the best on the island. :)
