We love Exuma!
What a wonderful trip with our family to Exuma! My husband and I have traveled to Exuma several times and decided to finally bring our kids. We had the best time and what a wonderful experience having Jolly hall beach just steps away from the house. The house is centrally located with easy access to restaurants and grocery store. We love Exuma and can’t wait to return

Overbooked
Booked this property in January for a one week stay in May and the owner notified us he double booked when we were only two weeks away from our trip. Essentially, we were told we could not check in until day five of our trip, and so we had to scramble to find another place. One of the main reasons we booked this house was due to the dock so we could keep a boat we were renting. Not only did this mess up those plans, but we also had to pack up all of our things half through our vacation and change properties, which was obviously a huge hassle. The owner did offer us a different property on the island, but it was towards the northern end and did not have a dock we needed. Check-in was smooth, but the property needs lots of repairs (e.g., water came through the drywall ceiling in the kitchen when showering upstairs, toilet seat lid was broken and unusable, sliding doors are extremely difficult to lock, broken microwave over stove.) The view of Jolly Hall beach is fantastic, but there is a good amount of road noise from being right on Queens Highway. The kitchen had very few essentials (only a few cups, no pot holders). On a positive, the caretaker (Willy) was incredibly nice and helpful. After a power outage one evening, we lost hot water, and he was very responsive to come out to the house to resolve it.

Good location and beach access
The location of the house is just minutes from Georgetown and close to groceries (Exhuma market is best, Smitty's is good for little extras you forgot), gas and places to eat. It is just steps to Jolly Beach and it was mostly empty so it is like a private beach. At most there was about 10 people on it and that was a holiday weekend. The water is warm and clear. The shower outside was great for washing off the sand. The property is very secure and we felt safe the entire time. The house is nice and handled four people fine, but I wouldn't want more. Beds were decent. The decks and views are incredible. People need to keep in mind that everything is relative. The island is not built up or fancy and is not the US. The roads are okay to bad and so are many of the properties. The house has some wear and tear and can use some more maintenance and furniture is not perfect, but that is Island life. The beach chairs were broke, but the grill was replaced brand new. The big doors do slide open, you just have to figure out the trick to it. Overall, for the price, you cant beat the house with its great views and its central location. I definitely recommend renting a car and there is plenty of parking.

Great location but needs work
Overall we enjoyed the house but it needs some work. On the plus side the location and setting were great. There were a lot more people on the beach every day than we were led to believe. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, well laid out and very comfortable. The house is very attractive and well decorated. The viewsto the outdoors are beautiful. On the negative side, the living room and kitchen areas need some work. There were no teaspoons and only 1 cutting knife and cutting board, The microwave over the stove was broken so a repacement was on the already crowded counter space so cooking was challenging. All of the outside doors were very stiff, hard to open and lock. The upper and lower patio folding doors were not openable at all( looks like for a long time). There were 4 of us and it was a tight space. We don't think you could manage with any more people and be comfortable. The indoor and outdoors chairs and furniture were very worn with many holes in the cushions. One of the webchairs broke through on our second day as it had many rips in it prior to our arrival. When we arrived, the barbq tank was seized shut and the master ceiling fan didn't work properly. We informed Willie and the owner and they were replaced on monday afternoon. Many of the light bulbs in the house were burnt out so we had to exchange them with some we found in the house. All four of us agreed that we wouldn't rent it again.

Everything was perfect. The on-site manager was super attentive and helpful. The local neighbors were so friendly and helped with recommendations on what to do and where to go. We enjoyed the adjacent beach which was a bonus. The house was lovely. The view was amazing. Beautiful turquoise water. We snorkeled right outside the house swimming with schools of fish and seeing large starfish. We were picked up by a boat at our dock and had a great time exploring sandbars, swimming with large sea turtles and hanging at the Chat and Chill playing volleyball, eating a great lunch, sipping awesome cocktails and watching the stingrays. We took another day trip to see the iguanas and the swimming pigs. It was incredible! The house was close to everything. I can’t say enough good things about our whole trip. We can’t wait to return!

Immediate family spring break
Great location near Georgetown and centrally located, which made both ends of the island accessible. Property management bought groceries ahead of arrival and was responsive to Wi-Fi and HVAC blips. Great back porch view. Rented a boat and docked it overnight. Easy to explore and get to Stocking Island from cove. Jolly Hall beach was pretty and secluded. Recommend renting beach chairs.

The Perfect Location
We loved our stay at the Jolly Hall Beach House! The location of the house was perfect for us with George Town located close by. There are also a couple of grocery stores close by which was nice when we needed to run out and get something quickly. Willy the property caretaker is very friendly and was able to answer any questions that we had during our visit. The house was very clean and comfortable. The parking area had plenty of space for 3 cars. The beach is easy to get to with access being just off the driveway, the path is short and there is an outdoor shower area that is great for rinsing off. The dock was nice for the boat that we rented, the water at the end of the dock is only around a foot deep at low tide. The outdoor pavilion is located up the hill from the main house and is accessed via a path and steps. The view from the pavilion area was incredible. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would stay at the Jolly Hall Beach House again.

What a spectacular spot!
We come to Exuma a few times a year. This was our 1st time staying on Jolly Hall. The location of the home and the views are breathtaking. Especially from the pavilion on the hill. Access to the beach was right off the driveway and the shower there was excellent after getting out on the beach. The bedrooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels for each bathroom. I'd recommend a few more beach towels. We don't get in the water as much in the winter, but in the summer we're in every day. The living area downstairs is a bit tight. We had friends over and it can get a bit cramped if you have more than 4 people there. The kitchen is small and is pretty well stocked for cooking. I'd recommend better cooking utensils and knives. The bbq grill outside was a plus as well as the outdoor furniture. The pavilion on the hill was great when we had company over! It has good lighting and electricity. We work A LOT while we vacation so having good internet was a plus. Willy the caretaker was phenomenal. We had only a few bumps, but he was there to care of anything. Excellent communication and a really enjoyable person. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
