Private Oceanfront Home on Tar Bay with Beautiful Private Beach

'This ill Do' is a Bahamian built 2 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house with exposed beam ceiling and open floor plan. There are both front and rear wood decks. The front deck peers over three acres of tropical landscaping and the back deck offers breathtaking views of Exuma Sound. Both bedrooms allow access to the front and rear decks and have sliding glass doors that when opened allow the sound of the ocean and gentle breeze to fill the room.

'This ill Do' is located on the Eastern side of Great Exuma, on a two mile long sandy white beach with only a handful of homes scattered nearby. The house is three miles from the airport and five miles from George Town, where shopping and dining can be found.

This house has it all
This house is located on beautiful Tar Bay, close to everything. A short 5-min drive from the airport and a 10-minute drive to downtown Georgetown. Well-appointed, spacious and comfortable, the house is located on beautiful turquoise Tar Bay. We walked along the beach each morning and enjoyed lounging on the back deck star-gazing at night. Groceries and boat rentals are close and in-town. Attentive hosts also provided everything we needed for a terrific week.

House name says it all!
We very much enjoyed our week long stay at This ‘ill Do. The house and view were even more beautiful than the pictures in the listing. There were plenty of beach towels, the kitchen had everything you need (although we never really cooked), the bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and comfortable, having a washer and dryer was nice and allowed us to pack light, and that view! We spent a lot of time on the deck overlooking the beach and loved the sounds of the waves hitting the beach. We got in the water occasionally at the house, but since there aren’t any barrier islands the water was not the calmest. Our communication with Harriet was great. She responded quickly to messages and made sure we had everything we needed. We did enjoy a couple excursions. We did the full day tour with Exuma Water Sports and it was an amazing day. Our other tour was a hydro bike tour of Moriah Harbour with Hydrowater Sports. It was such a fun experience being elevated on the bike we saw lots of sealife. During our week we also visited the main beaches. My only items I mentioned to Harriet regarding the house, but in no way was a negative is possibly adding darker shades to bedroom in case you want to sleep in a little. There were a couple other small things, but Harriet responded promptly to address them and again, it did not take away from our stay at all. If you’re thinking about it, just book This ‘ill do! You won’t regret it. Thank you Harriet!

Always Perfect
The beach, the house, the people, the property owner…always perfect! We love those property and the owners could not be more accommodating. This year we took a couple of day trips to explore some of the others beaches, but did not find anything that matched the beach we had right out our own back door.

This'll Do is an understatement!
A beautiful two bedroom home with large open middle kitchen/living/dining area, perfect for two couples. The home is set back from the road, unlike others in the area, and only steps from one of the most beautiful beaches and swimming areas we've been to- and we've been to many! Powdery sand beach extends right into the water for a long way. Very private, only a few other friendly people strolling the beach. Minutes to grocery stores and George Town. This is what we wanted, and this sure did Do! Oh, and the owner is very accessible, and friendly as can be.

Incredible place to stay
We had an amazing time at this property. Harriet was very responsive and great to deal with. The property is very spacious, and has absolutely everything you'll need. The beach that it is on, Tar Bay, is one of the best beaches on Exuma. This property is located basically in the middle of the island and is the perfect location and is accessible to all the island attractions. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone considering a trip to the Bahamas Jordan

Amazing private beach location!
We had a fabulous stay at This ‘ill do! The house is right on the beach and it’s truly spectacular. We were usually the only ones on the beach with just an occasional person walking by. The house is private and peaceful. We will definitely return.

Private white sand beach!
Excellent communication with the owner from booking through to the last day of our stay. Harriett was very accommodating and was very quick to respond. She prepared us well with a welcome sheet that had a lot of information about the house, where to shop, to which excursions to check out and plenty more. The house was absolutely gorgeous and only 5 mins from the airport. The property is directly on a private white sand beach and close to lots of restaurants and shops. The house was well stocked and very clean. We had a lot of fun at the beach. It was perfect for kids. A lot of stores are not open on Sunday. Exuma markets and Schmitty’s were the best grocery stores. There was a straw market close to Exuma Market for souvenirs. We took a day cruise with Coastline Adventures Exuma that took us to the different Cays, Thunderball grotto and a few other stops. We rented a car for our stay and explored Hooper’s Bay (turtles are down by the docks) and Cocoplum beach (sandbar with starfish and sand dollars). We also rented a boat from Minn’s water sports for the day which allowed us to explore 7miles of the Harbour (Starfish beach was a lot of fun and Man O war sand bar. We also stopped at Chat n Chill, we thought was over rated and ended up going to the Snappy Turtle) which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend this property. It was a wonderful stay for our family. Such a well maintained house in a great location and a fun island to explore.

this property was better than pictured online, was absolute heaven to stay here. the two beds in each bedroom were fabulous and the house had loads of accommodations! owners were so very helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. having the on-island caretaker was great! was a great place to have to be “stuck” during the many power cuts due to localized flooding and power grid issues. would stay here again in a heartbeat!

2nd visit again perfect!
The house sits on the most pristine section of the beach. If you want clear blue water as far as you can see, this is the place. No rocks/coral. Bedroom setup on opposite sides of the house is ideal for friends or couples. Great view from anywhere in the house. Housekeeper and handy man extremely helpful and responsive if needed. As noted this was our second stay and highly recommended.

View from the house was amazing. Saw sting rays feet from us in the water. Neighbors down from us saw dolphins the day before. Great central location that puts you in peace but close to amenities. Our only regret was not booking longer. Next time we will stay longer, 5 days is not enough to take in all the beauty this island has to offer.

Perfect!
This I'll Do was perfect for our family of four (2 adults and 2 teenagers). The house was clean and had everything we needed including beach towels. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and pots/pans and it was nice to have a washer/dryer to use. The location was great- easy to get to Georgetown and other places we wanted to visit. There were some beautiful beaches very close to the house. Definitely recommend renting a car- there isn't anything within walking distance (at least the things we wanted to do). There are a few nice restaurants on the island- our favorite was Tropic Breeze. There were a few we wanted to go to but didn't make reservations and they were booked up when we went. We also rented a boat for a few days and that was a lot of fun to hit some snorkel places and other beaches. The host was wonderful and very responsive. She was quick to get back to me on any questions we had or if there was something we needed. If we came back to Exhuma, we would definitely stay here again.
