Xanadu House.Featured on HGTV's Bahama's Life. A Captivating Caribbean Hideaway.

Welcome to Xanadu...
A Secluded & Relaxing Waterfront Oasis.
Completely renovated and updated. Fully air-conditioned 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1,800sf house with magnificent views of Elizabeth Harbour and Stocking Island.
2 King suites, 1 with ensuite. 3rd. bedroom hosts a Queen.
Wifi.
2 patios for finding some 'me' time.
A large deck that spans the front of the house to catch up on rays in one of the chaise lounges, relax on the couch and watch the boats sail into the Harbour or dine alfresco with the outside dining table that seats 4-6 people, all the while watching the ever changing magical hues of the turquoise water.
Indoors- enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, 5 burner gas stove, elec. oven, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, etc... stocked pantry. Everything you need, just add your groceries.
Dining table that fits 6-8 people.
Large sunroom overlooking the deck and the harbour.
Netflix and a library of DVD's in the tv room. Also games and puzzles if you care to take a day off from exploring.
Mere steps to the waters edge. A rock shoreline with steps leading into the water is perfect for snorkeling and hunting for sand dollars. (Snorkel gear included.) Also 3 kayaks and 1 paddle baord.
Xanadu is 10 minutes from the airport.
Walking distance to a grocery store and liquor store.
3 minute drive to the closest beach, Jolly Hall Beach (One of the ones you can see from the house. And one of our faves.)
Numerous restaurants less than 5 minutes away.
We do suggest renting a car so you can explore Exuma and what it has to offer...
Rental boats available at Minns Water Sports.
Take an excursion to swim with the pigs, play with the iguanas and snorkel in Thunderball Grotto where they filmed a couple of Bond, James Bond movies. ;)
Possibilities are endless...
Fill your days with adventures. Or relax and do nothing. The choice is yours..........

Our stay exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this property was exceptionally well cared for. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and equipped with everything we could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation.The views were absolutely breathtaking and made every morning and evening memorable. One of our favorite features was the availability of kayaks, snorkeling gear, beach chairs, and other equipment that allowed us to fully enjoy the surrounding water and outdoor activities without having to bring or rent anything ourselves.The attention to detail throughout the property was remarkable. Every need had been anticipated, and it was evident that the owners genuinely care about providing an outstanding guest experience.This was one of the best vacation rentals we have ever stayed in. Exceptional in every way, we would return without hesitation and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable getaway.

We had an incredible stay at this property and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.The view alone is absolutely breathtaking. The home itself was spotless and very well maintained, which made settling in easy and comfortable from the moment we arrived.One of the highlights was the easy access to the water. We spent time kayaking, paddle boarding, and snorkeling right from the property, which made the experience feel both convenient and special. The owner went above and beyond by providing beach essentials like chairs, an umbrella, and snorkeling gear—small touches that made a big difference.The kayaks and paddle boards were a fantastic bonus and got plenty of use during our stay. A particularly memorable moment was watching sea turtles right by the water—something we won’t forget anytime soon.In addition, the owner was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process, making communication easy and ensuring we had everything we needed for a great stay.Overall, this was a perfect mix of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. We would absolutely stay here again.

We enjoyed our time at Xanadu House and appreciated all of the information shared ahead of our trip. This home was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed snorkeling on the shore at the house. The kitchen was well stocked and full size shower products were provided. Communication with the owner and manager was excellent. Exuma is a beautiful place and Xanadu was the perfect headquarters for our trip!

Loved this home and the views are INCREDIBLE! Our family had a relaxing holiday week soaking up the sun and the laid-back Exuma vibes. Close to grocery (and liquor) stores with a well-equipped kitchen, we were able to cook at home when we didn't want to go out. Communication with Lisa (owner) was great - they provided lots of local interest info and were prompt and friendly. Highly recommend Xanadu!

Xanadu was a great place for 4 winter weary pals to relax and just enjoy everything that Great Exhuma has to offer. Next time I would probably pack food so that I could take advantage of the well equipped kitchen that Xanadu has to offer.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa and Frank

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We did a lot of island hoping to find the one that was right for us.
As soon as we stepped foot on Exuma we knew it was the island for us.
From the magical colors of the ocean to the friendly locals.
Then we found Xanadu. Or should I say it found us. :)
It felt like home when we walked through the door.
Then we saw the view. An ever changing, surreal, jaw dropping, gorgeous water view.
Then we got to work fixing her up. Giving her the TLC she hadn't been getting in awhile.
Now we're able to enjoy all of her spender and share it with others. :)

What makes this property unique

Being on a hill, we enjoy the ever breezy trade winds.
Watching the sunrise from bed, or with a cup of coffee on the deck.
After a day of snorkeling or beach hopping, enjoying the outdoor shower with that incredible view!
