Overall this was a wonderful property! We would absolutely stay here again. Communication with the owner was fantastic! There were a few minor issues throughout the week and some maintenance items that need addressed but this is typical with most houses on Exuma. Highly recommended!

We traveled with a group of 18 (7 adults, 11 kids) and this place was great. It had ample space for all of us. The pool and hot tub were great. The views were incredible. The owner was very responsive and helpful day and night.

The only problem we had was the picture of the beach which we didn't experience while we were there. It's very rocky and difficult for my wife and I since we are both 80. We were able to access the ocean thanks to our neighbors who allowed us to use their entry into the water. The blinds in the master bedroom did not work properly and we had to open them using a ladder so we finally gave up and just left them closed. The lamp in the master on the left side didn't work and we tried a new bulb but still didn't turn on. The property could use some general upgrades but I'm sure you are aware of that fact. Noe of the above seriously affected our enjoyment of the vacation. Thanks for your consideration of the items mentioned, Jim Brown

Thank you, Jim, for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that, despite the items you mentioned, they did not seriously affect your enjoyment of your vacation. Regarding the beach, the shoreline at Shades of Blue is natural and, like beaches everywhere, it can change significantly with tides, currents, weather, and shifting sand. Unfortunately, that is something we simply cannot control. We do our best to accurately represent the property and its natural surroundings, but Mother Nature doesn’t always provide the same beach conditions from one stay to the next. As for the items inside the home, we work very hard to maintain Shades of Blue as a home that we genuinely care about not simply as a rental property. The home is frequently booked back-to-back, and because we are on a small island, obtaining replacement parts, furniture, and other items can sometimes take considerably longer than it would on the mainland. We are continually making upgrades and addressing maintenance as quickly as logistics allow. I was actually at the property recently and can confirm that the master bedroom lamp was working at that time, so it may have been an intermittent issue. We will certainly check it again, along with the blinds. We appreciate you bringing these things to our attention and are always looking for ways to improve our guests’ experience. We’re especially pleased to hear that these items did not prevent you from enjoying your vacation.

We had an incredible stay at Shades of Blue and are already looking forward to returning! We traveled with three families, and the home felt spacious, comfortable, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were a huge hit with the kids, and we absolutely loved the beautiful stretch of beach just steps away. On calm days, we were able to kayak right from the property.The location was ideal being just 15–20 minutes from Georgetown and also close to many stunning beaches. Stephanie was wonderful to work with and made everything seamless from start to finish.Thank you, thank you for such a memorable and fun vacation!

The house was gorgeous. It's named perfectly because a blue wall hits you when you walk in the front doors. Stephanie was extremely responsive - quick to reply and provide recommendations and help leading up to our stay and during. It was plenty of space for our family of 16. I would most definitely return!

We loved our stay! Seeing and hearing the ocean every morning from ALL the bedrooms was a huge plus. The beach below the house was perfect for days we didn’t want to venture out. Loved all the family memories we made!
