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..........

Host communication was stellar with timely responses, great recommendations and information to prepare you for the trip. Location was central with less than 30 minute access to either end of the island. Quiet and one awesome view to wake up to each morning. Can’t go wrong with this one

Loved this home and the views are INCREDIBLE! Our family had a relaxing holiday week soaking up the sun and the laid-back Exuma vibes. Close to grocery (and liquor) stores with a well-equipped kitchen, we were able to cook at home when we didn't want to go out. Communication with Lisa (owner) was great - they provided lots of local interest info and were prompt and friendly. Highly recommend Xanadu!

We were intrigued with this home in Great Exuma from the moment we looked at the listing. The photos do not compare to the actual sight of the turquoise water and abundant flowering plants. Xanadu is perched on a hill with easy access by concrete path to the water. There is a ladder to use . This home is decorated beautifully in white, beachy blues and greens And has been renovated remarkably without losing the Caribbean cottage feel. We enjoyed the modern kitchen, the 3 spacious outdoor areas and the outdoor shower as well. The king size beds were super comfortable! We loved all of the white linens ! Lisa and Frank communicated so much information to prepare for this vacation and they were always accessible if we had any questions. We loved the location: minutes to the airport, downtown Georgetown and many beautiful beaches. We would most definitely rent Xanadu in the future! It was really hard to leave this place!

We just returned from a six-night stay at Xanadu with our teenage boys, and this house was a perfect home base for exploring the island. It was an easy drive from the airport and centrally located for exploring both ends of Exuma and everything in between. The view from this house is hard to beat- absolutely beautiful- and the home feels very private. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, which was helpful as we cooked most of our dinners at the house. Beds were comfortable and everything was very clean! The owners, Lisa and Frank, could not have been more helpful. They provided tons of info about the island before the trip, and checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. Also really appreciated the generous welcome gifts! Great house on Exuma!

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.

This home was more than perfect for our stay in Exuma! The views from the house and back deck were stunning. The fact that we could walk out of the house and jump in the water to snorkel made the trip even better! The house is stocked with everything one could need for their vacay. The beds were super comfortable. And they have a great library of DVD's to watch at night :) Lisa and Frank were so accommodating and helpful through the entire process. We will definitely be back again!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was even better and bigger than the pictures showed. We rented a boat and had a great time exploring all of the beaches and Stocking Island. Lisa was very helpful in getting us everything we needed prior to arrival. The house was very well equipped. We would recommend staying at Xanadu!

A gorgeous home full of character! We loved that we could snorkel right off the property! Best snorkeling we found, actually! The starts were AMAZING! The walk down to the water, as well as entering the water (especially at low tide) may be a challenge for someone with mobility issues, but, we loved it!

Xanadu was fantastic!!! We loved it so much and were sad to leave. Great family trip for our foursome…. ONLY complaint was when the wind died down the mosquitoes were an issue but the fabulous sunroom was perfect for that…. Can’t wait to return!!!

Beautifully appointed house, and the beautiful view will have you on Bahamian time in no time. Loved the attention to detail with this house. Very clean and welcoming. Great amenities, like snorkel gear and beach chairs. We truly felt at home here. It made our introduction to Exuma all the more special and smooth.
