Palaces in Long Island

"This was our 2nd trip to the Exumas. We chose to stay at The Osprey again, since our first time there was so lovely. The stay this time was even better. Communication with the host was excellent. I contacted him frequently during our visit with questions. His response was prompt, helpful, & courteous. The owner had also expanded their furniture options to include new tables, couches, dressers, & barstools...all of them beautiful, comfortable, & practical. Since we stayed longer, we utilized more of the items & equipment supplied by the host, including large drink cups w/ lids & straws (Brea's was willing to pour our purchased drinks into these, rather than the smaller disposable cups), cookware, induction stovetop double-oven, & inflatables available in the shed. Like last time, the AC worked beautifully. The beds were very comfortable & the rooms spacious enough for luggage. The view is gorgeous & unobstructed (no other homes between you & the water). Brea's Delight is next door (maybe 30 steps from the house). They make wonderful drinks (love the Shark Bite & Frozen Mango Daiquiri, but the Island Rum Runner, Goombay Smash, & Bahama Mama make close competition). Their food is scrumptious (Conch Fritters are a must-try). Being located right next to Brea's alone is worth it to stay here. Add to that the view, proximity to the water of our favorite beach (crystal clear, electric blue water), cleanliness & comfort of the house...it cannot be beat. We will be back."

"Absolutely love this little piece of paradise!! It is a hidden gem. "

"This place was as advertised. We were able to rent jet skis, and keep them on location. We also got Chef, named Joe Johnson for the week. If you’re looking for a great vacation, I highly recommend this house."

"This house has it all! Appropriately named, Shades of Blue, the view is just incredible. The house was perfect for our group ask had everything we needed. The host and owner were super attentive with anything we needed and recommendations for charters, chef’s and eating out were spot on! Book the trip! This house doesn’t disappoint! "

"Loved the area and living area was prefect for my family and I."

"Clean and cozy"

"This house was amazing from decor, all things needed for pool, beach, cooking everything!Loved the two washer machines and driers! Great location! If you want to visit all the beaches this house is in the middle each way! Close to grocery and liquor stores also!!"

"The property is amazing. They have kayaks, plenty of snorkeling gear, and even some water shoes to borrow. The water on your own beach is very calm. The views from the deck are amazing! Inside of the home was very clean when we arrived. Ice maker in freezer is a plus, plenty of dishware and cookware was provided. All rooms have their own AC unit which worked really well. Never an issue with them. We will be back for sure!"

"The house is so spacious and the kitchen had everything you needed, including spices. Jack is a very attentive host. He provided suggestions/options of things to do. Everything went smoothly from check-in to check out!"
