Family Vacation

Every single living space, aside from the bathrooms of course, has a stunning view of the ocean! There is plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. The grill area is fantastic. We enjoyed the clean and well maintained pool and hot tub. The property managers were very nice, responsive and helpful both while we were planning the trip as well as during our stay. This is a nice home for a large group. Thank you very much.

The best weekend ever!

Shades of Blue was AMAZING!!! To wake up with the pool and ocean view every morning was a dream come true. Stephanie was so responsive and helpful and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. The house was clean and she had a handy man come the same day any issues came up. It was the perfect bachelorette party weekend and we hope to be back soon!

It’s a winner

17 of us had such a great time in shades of blue. The children lived in the pool and hot tub, our family dinners were the best and we so enjoyed the house. We went on excursions every day and highly recommend sugar adventure for your boating day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Shades of Blue Family Vacation

Our stay at Shades of Blue was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable, there was an ample number of pots and pans for cooking and communication with the property manager and owner could not have been better. The views from every room of the house along with the private beach makes this house a number one choice.

A Dream Anniversary Getaway at Shades of Blue in Exuma!

We recently celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary with a 5 day stay at a beautiful rental home in Exuma, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and the peaceful privacy of the home.The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed—from pool and beach amenities to cozy outdoor seating for sunset beverages. We woke up every morning to the sound of the ocean and spent our days exploring nearby beaches, visiting local bars/restaurants, and enjoying celebrating under the stars.The hospitality of the host was exceptional. They provided all the recommendations needed to create a great time with lasting memories and were incredibly responsive and thoughtful.Exuma is paradise, and this home made it feel like our own little slice of heaven. If you’re looking for a romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable getaway, look no further. We’re already dreaming about coming back—maybe for our 15th!Highly recommend!

Beautiful Vacation

This house is located on a quiet beach overlooking such beautiful blue waters. In front of the house you have a light surf to play in or you can walk a short way down the beach to a cove with calm water. The house is large and we had plenty of room to gather in or a quiet place for those that needed to do some online work. I would certainly recommend or return to this house with my family!

Great home and Stephanie rocks!

I rented this home for 17 of my friends to celebrate my 40th birthday! From the time of booking to after I got home, Stephanie was absolutely incredible to work with! She had the best recommendations, was super attentive and not to mention the home was gorgeous! It was a great set up for a large group of adults. I still dream about the views and I cannot wait to go back!

This property is the epitome of paradise! From its breathtaking views, to the impeccable service provided by Stephanie and her staff, this experience was truly paradise on earth. The property was stunning with every amenity you could want or need. We booked this property to host our wedding, and Stephanie went above and beyond in helping us plan everything; from numerous recommendations to giving us a personalized wedding gift, to helping us rearrange canceled flights, Stephanie could not have been a better host. We are forever grateful for the incredible memories we share with you at your home!

Beautiful Property

Shades of Blue was absolutely stunning views of the water. A great piece of real estate. The floorplan was well thought out and accommodating for the extended family. It was perfectly located to George Town. We recommend renting a car if staying here. Stephanie was amazing to work with during the booking process and extremely accessible. Beaurren was great and very communicative if we need any assistance while at the house. We have never rented a place with as much kitchenware as this place and we were pleasantly surprised.

Amazing - A must Stay

Beautiful house with beautiful views. Very large with so much room for 17 people. Great kitchen, amazing pool and hot tub over looking the beach/ocean. The private pool house is super cool, the views of the ocean as you walk through every room are stunning. Stephanie (host) was great, they took care of everything we needed faster then expected. House has everything you need. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much!

Extended Family Vacation

Overall the property is very well kept. We came as a large extended family of 10 with ages 9 through 83. Plenty of bedrooms and beds for everyone to enjoy down time. Kitchen is large and we cooked in every night. Plenty of seating for all. Family room is very comfortable. We also rented the pool house. I highly recommend staying there. We had a couple of items and property manager came right out to take care of it all. We had a wonderful time!

Unbelievable views

Best view and setup we’ve ever had on vacation. The infinity pool, steps to a private beach, and access to crystal clear waters were unbelievable. We rented jet skis on two separate days and were able to access nearby beaches (loved Tropic of Cancer) and private islands. The Cut was very cool. Everyone we met on the island, including chefs (Chef Paul), drivers, and boat captains (Antonio), were great to work with. The homeowner, Stephanie, and house manager, Uncle B, were incredibly responsive. All in all, an amazing stay at an amazing location. We will be back!

Great spot for a large crew of all ages!

We came here for our first trip to the island with a crew of 14 aged 4-74. The house was perfect for us. Bedrooms stayed quiet even when others were up and about. Pool/hottub is great for littles while sunbathing deck and ocean kept the teens and adults happy. Nothing too precious for the really small kids to ruin. So many towels are provided and the dryer works well so you can keep them all dry. The self starter on the grill doesn’t work, and the ice machine gave out on us for a day or two but if we unplugged and replugged a few times, it started working again. Beauren was very responsive to our questions. They don’t keep any oil or spices, tinfoil or much Tupperware around, so make sure to bring or buy for longer stays. Astoundingly beautiful place!

Shades of blue is accurate!

Oh my goodness where do I start! This vacation was perfect. The house is amazing, the view is perfection. Highly recommend Chef Paul, his steak, lobster, shrimp, fettuccine and all the appetizers and desserts were wonderful. We used Pinkladysdelights for our arrival, she made the best conch fritters, spinach dip, shrimp, charcuterie board, and POTATO BALLS! We had plenty of leftovers for the next day. We took a trip out to the pigs, iguanas and the island bar, definitely worth it! We ate at Santana’s twice for lunch and it was the best grouper sandwich and platters. We used the concierge that Stephanie suggested and she had our groceries stocked when we got there and she scheduled our adventure, chef and our van for ten people. Everyone was so helpful if we had any questions. It was definitely a trip come true for me. Everything I wanted.
