Xanadu House.Featured on HGTV's Bahama's Life. A Captivating Caribbean Hideaway.

Welcome to Xanadu...
A Secluded & Relaxing Waterfront Oasis.
Completely renovated and updated. Fully air-conditioned 3 Bedroom, 2 Bath 1,800sf house with magnificent views of Elizabeth Harbour and Stocking Island.
2 King suites, 1 with ensuite. 3rd. bedroom hosts a Queen.
Wifi.
2 patios for finding some 'me' time.
A large deck that spans the front of the house to catch up on rays in one of the chaise lounges, relax on the couch and watch the boats sail into the Harbour or dine alfresco with the outside dining table that seats 4-6 people, all the while watching the ever changing magical hues of the turquoise water.
Indoors- enjoy a fully stocked kitchen, 5 burner gas stove, elec. oven, toaster oven, microwave, coffee maker, coffee grinder, etc... stocked pantry. Everything you need, just add your groceries.
Dining table that fits 6-8 people.
Large sunroom overlooking the deck and the harbour.
Netflix and a library of DVD's in the tv room. Also games and puzzles if you care to take a day off from exploring.
Mere steps to the waters edge. A rock shoreline with steps leading into the water is perfect for snorkeling and hunting for sand dollars. (Snorkel gear included.) Also 3 kayaks and 1 paddle baord.
Xanadu is 10 minutes from the airport.
Walking distance to a grocery store and liquor store.
3 minute drive to the closest beach, Jolly Hall Beach (One of the ones you can see from the house. And one of our faves.)
Numerous restaurants less than 5 minutes away.
We do suggest renting a car so you can explore Exuma and what it has to offer...
Rental boats available at Minns Water Sports.
Take an excursion to swim with the pigs, play with the iguanas and snorkel in Thunderball Grotto where they filmed a couple of Bond, James Bond movies. ;)
Possibilities are endless...
Fill your days with adventures. Or relax and do nothing. The choice is yours..........

Little piece of Heaven
We spent Spring Break in Exuma. There were 6 of us at Xanadu ages spanning 16-84 years old. IT WAS PERFECT. The view is amazing. The pictures don't even do it justice. Our family of 4 would adventure out during the day and the grandparents were completely happy enjoying the view from the enclosed sunroom (morning) and out on the deck (afternoon). The sunroom is incredible when the breeze stops and the bugs move in. The little no see ums and sand gnats are everywhere you go on the island, but you don't notice them if there is a breeze...when the breeze stop, watch out! The sunroom offers the perfect solution...you can enjoy the view and stay away from the bugs! This house is incredible. It has more than you could ever need. Most VRBOs have a "starter" of everything (detergent, dish soap, shampoo, etc). Lisa and Frank provide EVERYTHING. Full size in most cases. I was completely blown away. So generous and completely unexpected. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Even the refrigerator had most staples (mustard, Mayo, spices, sauces). This is a nice touch in the States...but SUPER helpful on a remote island. Lisa is an incredible communicator and provided so much information in preparation for our trip and was super responsive while we were on island with questions. She went above and beyond. We will be back!

Fab Fun in the Warm Sun
Xanadu was a great place for 4 winter weary pals to relax and just enjoy everything that Great Exhuma has to offer. Next time I would probably pack food so that I could take advantage of the well equipped kitchen that Xanadu has to offer.

A Dream Beach House
We stayed at the Xanadu house 2 weeks ago. The home and the views were nothing compared to the photos; it was even more beautiful and breathtaking in person. It was 6 of us and we were all comfortable in our own spaces. The sunrises are amazing especially with the sound of the waves if you sit down by the rocks. It truly was a vacation we will never forget. Lisa and Frank had all the amenities we needed. We did bring some of our own food such as, frozen ribs, steak, ground beef, chicken, canned tomato sauce, pasta, and some snacks. I did my homework for this family trip location so I was aware at the cost of food on the island. It’s expensive because everything has to get shipped to the island by boat. Liquor, jewelry, and perfumes are some of the things that you’ll find inexpensive on the island. Bringing some food from home was very helpful; we used dry ice for packing it in our suitcases. We ate out too. We went to Shirley’s which is a cute little spot close to the home… we ended up stopping there again for the conch salad that’s made on demand right next to Shirley’s. The people on the island are very friendly and helpful. For a night out we went to the Exuma Yacht Club which is like 5 minutes from the house. They have live music on Wednesdays which was a blast!! I would absolutely stay at this house again. Cleo the housekeeper was very responsive and so sweet! Thank you Lisa and Frank for sharing your beautiful beach house.

Incredible Experience!
This is a fabulous house and we could not have been more pleased with our experience there. Absolutely incredible views! The owners were delightful and provided so much information about the island. There were so many nice touches that we appreciated: coffee being provided, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of spaces to relax, the list goes on. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on Exuma. The location was perfect and very close to grocery stores and liquor store. We didn't want for anything with this rental: beach chairs, towels, snorkel equipment, laundry detergent, etc. We'll be back and would most definitely rent Xanadu from these lovely and gracious hosts!

Our stay at Xanadu
Our family of 5 stayed a week at Xanadu and couldn’t have been more happy with the house and location. Gorgeous views, plenty of room for all of us, conveniently located to get to anything, and top notch communication. I never had to worry about anything bc I knew I’d be able to reach Lisa or Cleo. Thank you for everything !!

Dream Vacation of a Lifetime
The location and property absolutely cannot be better for an island escape. The ocean view from the home is breathtaking, mesmerizing, and oh so relaxing. No filters needed on photos! The home is centrally located, and easy to get to most restaurants and activities. What an incredible home base for fun island adventures like Scuba diving, swimming w/ pigs and sharks, or water taxi-ing to Chat N’ Chill for a Sunday BBQ. Additionally, the hosts, Lisa and Frank, are wonderful, kind, and so communicative — we felt so comfortable and well-informed by the time we arrived. They have put so much love, care, and thoughtful touches throughout this beautiful home - high quality linens, well-stocked kitchen, beautiful decor! We loved every second of our time at Xanadu. Our daughters (now in college) said it was the best vacation we have ever experienced!
