Luxury Waterfront Home Overlooking Moriah Cay with all you need to explore Exuma

The Mandarin is a luxury waterfront home spread across a half acre property overlooking Moriah Cay and the surrounding Land and Sea Park. The Mandarin is ideally located near the cut between Great and Little Exuma and provides access to explore something new every day.

The Mandarin has 4 double bedrooms and 4 1/2 Bathrooms, yard, garage, swimming pool and docking facilities. The property is fully airconditioned and has a separate bar with Hibachi grill and numerous entertainment options.

The house is situated on a dead end side street away from the Queens Highway in the private and secluded neighbourhood of Moriah Harbour in Hartswell, Great Exuma. The property is fully protected by a backup generator during any island power outages.

The property can easily accommodate 8 adult guests in beds and 2 additional children.

Moriah Cay (and one of the best sandbars and beaches in Exuma) is less than 500 yards from your front door and Man O War Cay is another 500 yards as well. The property is entirely surrounded by the beautiful Moriah Cay Land and Sea Park with dozens of secluded white powder beaches.

Kayaks and a 10 foot motorized dinghy are included and provide access to the local beaches, islands and bonefishing flats. The property has a 21ft Centre Console boat which can be included by separate arrangement for more exploring to Stocking Island, Elizabeth Harbor or even Sandy Cay.

The property has a generator backup and is substantially solar powered. We use natural filtered rainwater throughout most of the home.

The Mandarin is PET friendly.

AMAZING!!!!
My family (my mom, 2 sons aged 15 and 26), my boyfriend, my son's girlfriend, and I stayed last week. This home is nothing short of amazing. The location is far enough from town that it is not loud or busy, but close enough to get what you need without a lot of hassle. The home itself was immaculate and everything you will need is available. We cooked 2 nights and every morning for breakfast and everything that we needed was available in the kitchen to prepare our meals. The rooms are spacious and the layout is such that you can enjoy privacy when needed. The view is to die for. My children fished off of the dock and we did snorkel from there. We saw sting rays and had a turtle that kept us company every day while we were there (we named him Samuel) and he likes to eat squid. There was also a small nurse shark that hung out one day. We were able to rent a boat and go to some of the sandbars that are closeby and I cannot decribe the beauty. We were also close enough to go to Chat N Chill for a while one day by boat. Definitely rent a car so you can get to dinner and the market because it is about a 20 min ride into town. Overall, if i could give 10 stars, I wouldn't hesitate. The owners were always available (I communicated with Monica on multiple occasions, she always responded very promptly, answered all questions, and we were greeted at the home upon arrival. Definitely worth every penny!

Magical time with friends and family
We loved our stay at the Mandarin House. It was perfect for a group of long time friends. Everybody had both space to get away and a great family spaces to get together. We cooked together, hung out by the pool and explored the island. Monica made excellent recommendations for activities, services and restaurants. The staff is great too, they came by frequently to check on things and make sure we had gas for the grill, towels and supplies. I would recommend that they get new paddles for the paddle boards. Overall we had a great time.

We loved our stay at the Mandarin. Comfortable and peaceful, it was just what our family needed. The pool was perfect and the kitchen plus bar area were super fun. What a lovely way to experience the Bahamas.

Beautiful island, lovely people!
Beautiful spot, super convenient, lovely people. Groceries easy to find. Kitchen perfect for food prep and group meals. Sitting by pool lovely. We had some challenges with the ac units smelling of mold due to lack of use, bleaching prior to guests arrival would solve that.

The house was absolutely perfect!! Monica had fast, excellent communication from the time we booked through check out. We hired a Chef Keva to cook our meals which is an excellent way to fully enjoy your vacation. We loved hanging out at the bar area after a long day on the water. The dock was perfect for our boat rental drop off where we explored Moriah Cay and then spent the afternoon at Chat n Chill. A short drive to Tropic of Cancer Beach which might be the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. We had a lovely dinner at Blu on the Water, a short drive from the property. I would highly recommend the Swimming with the Pugs All Day Tour (Staniel Cay). So much fun! It also includes a stop to see endangered Iguanas, swimming with Nurse Sharks, snorkeling Thunderball Grotto, and lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Would absolutely stay here again!

Quick response from manager for any troubles. Nice kitchen. Well stocked with everything we needed. It is a bit far from town or bars/restaurants which will suit a lot of people just fine. Pool was clean.

Birthday/Anniversary Getaway
The perfect place for 2 couples. It was great-each couple had their own space in the evening but we ate breakfast together in the main house each morning and gathered to play cards and just hangout. We were there in September and there were not a lot of restaurants that were open so we did a lot of cooking in the evening as well. Would definitely recommend.
