Family Vacation
We loved staying in this beautiful beach house! It was perfect for our family. We loved the pool area and beach to paddleboard and kayak. The house had every single thing we needed for the week. The owners have thought of everything. The pool floats, chairs, toys were such a great extra that we weren’t expecting. The kitchen is fully stocked, and we were able to comfortably make meals at the house each day. I would highly recommend this house to friends and family. It was very clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

Amazing Spring Break
Where to begin! Ciesta Sands is amazing. We had had 4 adults and 5 kids pack the house with room to spare. Beds were super comfortable, bathrooms nice and roomy. Just all the comforts of home but with an amazing ocean view and pool!! Highly recommend. Owner and house manager are delightful and on top of every question you may have. Highly recommend and we will go again!!

Amazing home Amazing location Amazing attention to detail
Our family of five had an absolutely fantastic stay at the stunning Ciesta Sands vacation home! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth of the house manager and were impressed with every detail of the home. The attention to detail in the decor really made the space feel like a home away from home. One of the highlights of our stay was the delightful kids bunk room. Our little ones were thrilled with their own special space, complete with cozy beds, personal lamps, tv and fun decorations. It made their vacation truly memorable. The location of the house couldn't have been better. The breathtaking Tropic of Cancer Beach, where we spent many glorious hours soaking up the sun and playing in the waves, was steps away from the wonderful pool deck. It was so convenient to have such a stunning beach steps from the pool. And let's not forget about the amazing pool! After a day of exploring the island, it was the perfect spot to unwind and cool off. We loved spending lazy afternoons lounging by the pool - the owners have every pool float, toy, etc. available to you. Overall, we can't say enough good things about this property. It exceeded all of our expectations and provided the perfect backdrop for a truly unforgettable vacation. We're already dreaming of our next visit and can't wait to come back to this little slice of paradise. A huge thank you to the owners for sharing their beautiful home with us!

The Pictures do not lie!
The home, the pool and the beach are absolutely beautiful. The house had more than enough room for our family of 8 (two parents, our daughters and their spouses and one infant and one toddler). The bedrooms are large and private with their own bathrooms. We especially like how the bedrooms were situated at the corners of the house with the great room/ kitchen/dining room in the middle. This meant that we could sleep through crying babies and early risers. The Kitchen was fabulous, with everything we needed for cooking, dinning, happy hour, etc. Also there were several doors to access the pool area through. The pool was bigger than it appears on the pictures. The suntanning deck in the pool was perfect for tanning but also for the little ones to play in the pool. The pool when the sun was out in was very nice. The beach also lived up to the hype. The sand was amazing. The water was warm with not many waves, we spent more time in the ocean than we did in the pool. The beach was long enough for a good walk every day and was never crowded. The provided beach/pool toys, the kayaks and paddle boards meant everyone had something to keep them busy. The house manager Esther was fabulous. It never took her more than 20 minutes to return a call or text. She did a great orientation walk through when we arrived, provided lots of local knowledge, and even help us hire a private chef for dinner one night. She’s just a wonderful person. All in all we would stay at Ciesta Sands in a heartbeat

Perfection!
We have stayed at many properties throughout the Bahamas Out Islands and this was, by far, our favorite! The house, the pool, the proximity to an amazing beach, it was all perfect! The house has everything you could need and then some. The property manager was the best and the most responsive we’ve ever worked with! If the price makes you raise an eyebrow, trust us, it’s worth it. The rental includes things not normally included in a home rental, such as enough laundry detergent for a full week, dishwashing detergent (plenty for the week), PLENTY of shampoo/conditioner, bug spray, sunscreen….all things we didn’t have to worry about packing. We hope to be back next year!

Beautiful home and views
Breathtaking view from the minute you walk in the door. Home is brand new and has everything you need. They went above and beyond with all the amenities. Esther was always quick to answer. Outside area also has everything you need. Very quiet area, we had the beach to ourselves most days. We took advantage of the kayaks and paddleboards. The little bar & grill next door was great during the day. If you aren't familiar with the area, it's a bit of a drive on a rough road. As long as you plan ahead with groceries, activities, etc, you'll be fine. It's worth it for the beautiful home and beach.

A piece of paradise in Exuma
This home has had much thought put into the needs of it’s guests. It is beautifully decorated and the beds are heavenly. The kitchen and bar have been carefully stocked with small appliances and serving bowls and platters. If you like to cook/bake you will not be disappointed. The beach is absolutely gorgeous with powdery sand and crystal clear water. The house manager was very attentive and answered any questions promptly. Our group of 8 adults thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This home is in a piece of paradise in Exuma!

Beautiful &Amazing Ciesta Sands!
Ciesta Sands is so beautiful (the house, the view, the beach, all of it)! Christine (owner) and Esther (property manager) are both so helpful from what to expect, checking in and ensuring all is going well during the stay, and providing check out instructions. We had a group of 8 (2 families of 4 with kids between 12-14). The two king bedrooms both have a great view of the beach and there’s a bunk room with 3 bunk beds (6 beds) and another room with 2 queens). The kitchen is well stocked and there are great beach / pool toys. We highly recommend Ciesta Sands!!

Perfect house, perfect views, and perfect beach!
Stunning! Perfect house, perfect views, and perfect beach! Paradise. This home is beautiful, comfortable, and clean. The kitchen had everything you could imagine and is a cook’s dream. No detail was spared…. the owners thought of everything - from the ice maker in the bar area, Weber grill, and speaker system that could be played inside and outside. We had a group of 10 – 6 adults, 4 kids and never felt like we were crowded. In addition to the actual house, there was a ton of outdoor space (covered and uncovered) with comfortable seating and tables to enjoy reading, listening to music, playing games, or just gazing out at the beautiful view. Our kids enjoyed the pool (and pool floats), playing football on the beach, and hunting for crabs on the beach at night. They also gave two thumbs up for the internet and enjoyed having the ability to stay connected when needing a break from the sun. 😊 We took the kayaks out several times to the islands in front of the home and walked the Tropic of Cancer beach daily. We also enjoyed the convenience of Brea’s Bar and Grill nearby. We hope to be back soon!

Immaculate Tropic of Cancer Beach
Ciesta Sands is a stunning, designer decorated home with every attention to detail covered. The house is beautifully appointed with a beach vibe atmosphere that is stylish and warm. All the furnishings were comfortable and high quality. The floor plan and space were perfect for our all "girls" group of seven, with four spacious bedrooms and en-suites. The property is private & the views are stunning from inside and out. The kitchen had everything and more to cook meals and mix cocktails. We enjoyed morning walks on the Tropic of Cancer Beach (with nearly no one else in sight). And loved the outdoor space where we relaxed morning and evening on the lanai swings while enjoying the beautiful expansive pool area (and view). While we had some issues accessing the safe and operating the sound system, Ester, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful throughout our visit. We really enjoyed our stay...I would highly recommend this property!

It’s hard to put into words how incredible our stay at Ciesta Sands was. The house was immaculate, extremely well decorated and comfortable! The attention to detail throughout the house is so impressive! The paddle boards and kayaks were so nice to have also! And the views, wow! They are simple breathtaking! We’ve stayed at several places in Exuma over the years and Ciesta Sands is by far the best place we’ve stayed! We will definitely be renting again on our next trip!
