Plan a vacation in this large house to reconnect with friends or with family.
Located on one of the most beautiful beaches in Great Exuma and only an 8 minute drive from the Georgetown International Airport. It is central to all activities on the island but still on a very private stretch of beach.
Many direct flights from Toronto (3hrs), Miami (1 hour), Atlanta ( 2 hrs) and Nassau (35min)serve this carefree, casual and quaint island.
Exuma provides a perfect balance of simplicity and amenities for families, executives, couples and friends wanting to escape the stresses of work and everyday life. If you love white sand, pristine waters, surfing, snorkeling, golfing, fishing, scuba diving, boating, fresh fish and friendly people...then you will fall in love with Great Exuma.
The well maintained house offers a 1100 square foot Great Room with lounging, media and dining areas. There are four-500 square foot, King-size master suites with ensuites that include walk in showers, soaking tubs and private toileting areas . The gourmet kitchen offers solid surface counters, double refrigerators, dishwasher, induction cooktop and everything needed for preparing great meals. Nearby restaurants and in-house chef services are also available.
A 1000 square foot wrap around porch, overlooking the beach, provides outdoor living areas next to the sparkling, warm waters of Exuma. This is one of the best beaches in Exuma. No hotels or public beach access permitted along our beach. You are often the only people on the beach but it is central to all island amenities making this location the most convenient on all of Great Exuma.
Within eight minutes of leaving the airport you will be sipping a cool drink on the white sand beach beside the emerald waters of Tar Bay. The bay is protected by a reef a mile away and the sandy bottom and shallow waters are safe for kids. The crystal clear waters are ideal for snorkeling and on a calm day- kayaking is a must. The summer water temperature is 85 degrees.
A short 8 minute drive east you will find the charming and friendly town of Georgetown, capital of this island archipelago of 3800 permanent residents. You will find everything you need for meal and drink preparation, satisfy your urge to shop at the straw market and boutiques and visit interesting historic sites. Order up some fresh Lobster, Grouper, Tuna or Mahi Mahi from the local fisherman and they will deliver it to the house.
This is a low key, laid back island with none of the hustle and bustle of tourist destinations- perfect for a relaxing vacation - Don't expect casinos, fast food restaurants and designer shopping here. The Exumas will offer a vacation where you reconnect with yourself and your family and friends.
Rent a boat, or hire an experienced captain from Minn's boat rentals to explore the clear, calm waters of Elizabeth Harbour. Don't forget to see the crustaceans at Starfish Beach and visit Sand Dollar beach to hunt for these treasures. A freshly made conch salad and cold Kalik beer at or Big D's or Chat and Chill on Stocking Island is a necessity for this boat trip. If boat rental is not an option for you then a water taxi will get you to Stocking island where you can partake in the fun with other sailors, visitors and locals. Have fun with a game of beach volleyball on the sand court , sip an icy Bahama Mama cocktail on a beach chair or feed the domesticated stingrays that hang out looking for food and a stroke on the back.
The love of water is probably the greatest attraction to Exuma. Here you can take your pick of Scubadiving (Dive Exuma), Parasurfing, snorkelling and even surfing on the ocean side of Stocking Island.
Bone-fishing enthusiasts know that Exuma is top-ranked for this sport. There are many charter companies available for hire.
Exuma is like home. Friendly, relaxing and inviting.
FROM TORONTO: Direct flights are available from Toronto on Sundays . Try searching BOTH the Air Canada Vacations website AND the Air Canada website for different pricing options. Availability and pricing is often quite different on each website for the same flight. Expect return flight costs between $600 and $1200 depending on the dates.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
This was our second time in two years that we had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful property.
Everything that you could possibly want or need is available at the house.
The location right on the beach and proximity to shopping and excursions is great, we travelled with our son daughter in law and two small grandkids and never really had to leave the property as everything we needed was right there.
Thank you Cynthia and Luc, for making our stay amazing we will be back for sure.
Mike, Marina and family ❤️

Paradise found on Tar Bay
My husband, 2 kids and parents had the pleasure of spending 2 beautiful weeks at Nemo House in August. The house is comfortable and well appointed with just about anything you could possibly need. The house is located in a great spot and will only be about 10 minutes to town once the road project is complete. It was fairly windy when we were there, but the ocean was still swimmable, even for my mom who doesn't swim, and so much fun for my 9 & 10 year old kids to boogie board and jump/duck waves. My mom and I loved walking the beach from end to end almost daily. Cindy was very easy to work with and had great suggestions for things to do and see. Brendi and Ester were very responsive for the few small issues we experienced during our stay. We loved our stay and hope to be back the next time we travel to Exuma!

UNBELIEVABLY GORGEOUS
I had the sheer pleasure of staying with my sister and her family at Nemo House recently. The house is absolutely stunning and you want for NOTHING in this house. It's beautifully decorated and so well organized. You walk out the front door and right onto a gorgeous and quiet beach. This was my first visit to the Bahamas and this home just blew me away. I've already recommended this home to quite a few of my friends. Thank you for making my first experience in the Bahamas so perfect.

Entirel Fabulous
I have been to this idyllic tropical island paradise three years in a row. What more need to be said. The house is beyond perfect and the ocean off the patio is a serene, clean, safe, warm, calm pool built by nature. The island is gentle, English-speaking and friendly; the seafood grand. What more needs to be said. Entirely Fabulous.

Simply Outstanding
House was perfect. View was unbelievable. We loved it. Best family vacation we ever had.
From the time we were met by Travis and Esther at the airport, we knew it was going to be a spectacular week. The house is awesome - loved the design and all of the amenities. It was actually a joy to cook there, which we did most nights.
If you are looking for a great house on a great beach, to just unplug and enjoy time with the family, this is the place for you. Some tips - suggest bringing some frozen meats in a cooler - they are expensive and a bit iffy looking on the island; dairy foods are scarce and very expensive - bring your favorite cheeses; rum, gin and local beer are reasonable on the island - wine is 2X-3X more expensive.
We did a private full day charter with Sugar Adventures - awesome experience! Not cheap, but wow - once in a lifetime memories.
We have already booked again for next year....can't wait!

Dear Michael - so happy you enjoyed yourself with your family. Yes some of the foods are more expensive due to the fact that they are floated in by boat to the island. Next time you visit you should try Island Meats and Deli near Georgetown. Ron always has good fresh meat from the US and local fish and is a pleasure to chat with. Check with Sugar (sugar adventures) as he often has fresh caught (or frozen) lobster which he free-dives for. Its the nice cheeses that we typically bring from Canada...in our luggage in a soft cooler, together with some frozen steaks as they keep everything cold. After 8 hours of travel the steaks are still frozen.

Blown away...perfect house, amazing kitchen, powder sand and crystal water at Nemo House!
We were all completely blown away by Nemo House. We’ve rented homes in the West Indies, North Carolina and Ireland for years, all very cool and upscale places, but Nemo House really has something special. Excellent design, so well appointed, a fabulous kitchen — we’ve never seen such a well stocked kitchen. What a beach, too.
The house is perfect for two families traveling kids (teenagers, in our case) because there are two identical huge and very well appointed master bedrooms, each with a fabulous master bath and beach views. The two other bedrooms are also nearly identical, also well appointed and have wonderful large private baths. On top of these wonderful retreats, the spacious great room is anchored by a gigantic chefs kitchen replete with two very large stainless refrigerators and a beautiful custom eat-in counter spanning the full width of the room. No appliance or kitchen gadget has been forgotten in stocking this magnificent kitchen.
The house walks out into one of the most pristine, private and long white powder sand beaches in the Exumas, ideal for long morning or sunset walks. You can stare at the aqua blue clear water from the full width covered porch or beach chairs that come with the house (along with ocean kayaks). This house offers everey amenity -- convenience to town, privacy, solitude and fun.
I want to make a special mention of Travis, who met us at the airport, stocked the fridge and pantry and saw us on our way. He was a hit with our kids and with us as well. I talked with him for some time — he seems like a really good person and I feel his extra efforts and very positive attitude deserve special mention. He really cared about making sure we had a great time on his home island.
We loved eating at Santana’s and Shirley’s. The island is just great, and the water now wins the best and bluest prize, as does the sand for being the softest.

Rejuvenating and Memorable
The incredibly clear water (nothing to bite you) and fine white sand beach right outside the front door is so perfect, not much else is needed. But the house is also grand, completely clean, modern and equipped - including good WIFI, HUGE Fridge, double kitchen sinks, induction cooktop, ceiling fans everywhere, large bathrooms, sporting equipment, books, games and even DVDs. It's a home and feels like one. Finish the glass of wine; put the book down; walk the empty beach before cooking up some local lobster for dinner. Loved it!

Unforgettable
Nemo House was better than it is promoted. We wouldn't change a thing. We had two families with teenagers sharing one house and we had plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The bathrooms are clean and luxurious. The kitchen has everything you need with quality appliances and accessories. We grilled dinner while looking at the ocean. The outside seating and dining areas are a great place to have your morning coffee and your evening cocktail and everything in between. The powdered sand beach is only 17 steps from the back patio. We spent a good part of every day on the beach without seeing more than a handful of people the entire week. Nemo house has kayaks, snorkel gear, noodles, cooler, everything you need to have a fun, relaxing time. The home owner was easy to work with and responded quickly. The property managers were attentive and informative. Sugar Adventures is a must! Our children told us that it was the best day of their life. Dive Exuma was great with first-time divers as well as experienced divers. Chat-n-Chill is not to be missed. The people of Exuma were welcoming and inviting. We highly recommend Nemo House and Exuma. It was truly and unforgettable vacation.

Perfection- both times we have stayed here!
We loved Nemo house so much last year that we booked it again this year. Such an easy place to fly to and then at the house within 5 minutes of leaving airport! The house is brand new with a fabulous floor plan and kitchen. We have stayed both times with another family- total of 10 people and it was plenty spacious. The owners are very professional to deal with and they have property managers on the island to meet you at airport and then give you the tour of the house. The best part is the location- 10 steps from the back porch to the crystal clear water. Your own private beach- seriously you might see 5 people at most the entire week. They also have lots of beach chairs and water toys for the guests. WE LOVE NEMO HOUSE.

FIND NEMO!
The house was better than described- Way Better! The pictures don't show the quality of the house. It is very clean and comfortable- nothing is worn, torn or old looking! Tons of patio furniture and lounge chairs. Including some in the guest garage, which has lots of beach chairs/ toys/ and ocean kayaks. The beds are comfortable with plenty of blankets, sheets, pillows. Fantastic house for a large family or multiple families. There were plenty of bath towels as well as beach towels. The kitchen was amazing! They did not skimp on stocking their kitchen. All high-end appliances (the microwave was so quite, we had to check and make sure it was working! It was, no problem!) If you love to cook- you have found heaven! The kitchen island spans the entire length of the great room. Two sinks, one has the purified water, everything a chef kitchen would have. The best thing- All the windows face the ocean! No matter which direction you look- OCEAN! The house is as close to the ocean as you can get too! You can hear the ocean from both the master bedrooms even with the doors closed- it is that close!! (did I say Ocean?) Clear water, no seaweed, and powder sugar sand! Breathtaking!
The owners are easy to work with and very nice. I would recommend talking with Cindy before you go- she had lots of helpful hints and also put together a book with lots of helpful information. I would also recommend downloading the 'star walk' app. So many stars you do not get to see from the States. Really cool app! Thx Cindy! Don't forget to point your device down and see where the sun is located too! There is WIFI, flat screen TV's in every room., along with a futon. Bring sunscreen, lots of sunscreen! There is always a breeze, and if you use the spray sunscreen be sure to rub it in, maybe have a couple of bottles of the old fashion lotion. The wind can play ticks on you- and you might missed a spot! Trust me, if you miss a spot you will know! The wind keeps the mosquitos and sand fleas away- so don't think its a 'bad' thing. If you forgot to bring bug repellent- no worries- Cindy has a basket full of extra (plus I left an entire new bottle there because I did not need it and I usually do!) They thought of everything! I looked at many houses on VRBO- most of them are within walking distance from this one- Book NEMO now! It was awesome!

Hi Tracy - Thank you for your kind email. We endeavor to make Nemo House feel like your home, the only exception being that this home is on the most beautiful beach in the Bahamas. We kind of figured you would love that amenity too! Thanks for the extra bottle of bug spray and you are right....you need to bathe in sunscreen! We hope you return to Great Exuma....Sincerely - Cindy

The beachfront house is 8 minutes from Georgetown Airport (GGT), 8 minutes from Georgetown, 15 minutes to Sandals Golf and Spa. Car rental or taxi recommended to travel to Georgetown.
Lots of private parking beside the house.The beach is very private. Most of time you will be the only people on the beach.
There is snorkeling and swimming at the doorstep or you can rent a boat and snorkel at a nearby reef or scuba dive with local SCUBA operator.The house is great for a relaxing vacation for couples or families.
Food and drink are easy to get in Georgetown and several food markets, stores and restaurants.
Order up fresh fish or lobster from a local fisherman, who will clean it and deliver it to you. Take a water taxi to Stocking island where you can hang out for day, talk to locals and visitors, play beach volleyball, lunch and refresh at the Chat-N-Chill restaurant.
Great Exuma is a place that does not offer chain restaurants, shopping malls, or wild night life. It is a place to unwind and forget about the stresses of everyday life. You will never forget Exuma.
