About this property
Oceanfront mansion, heated infinity pool. 6 double rooms, 11 beds can sleep 18
Sandbanks is a modern building located on the waters edge of the stunning bonefish flats. Turtles feed just yards away from the house. It is well-equipped, beautifully furnished, very well-appointed and private. The property boasts a heated infinity pool, a pool table, a ping-pong table, kayaks, paddle boards.
We have a small, man-made beach (ideal for the little ones) and a dock which you can use to board rental boats. Access to the water is via the boat ramp and the water height varies from a few inches at low tide to 5ft at high tide.
We are located 10 minutes away from George Town, which has restaurants, grocery stores and banks and 30 minutes away from the airport.
Sandbanks is one of the few houses to have solar power, and a generator which automatically kicks in when the power cuts out. Power outages are frequent on the island so it's important to have this reserve power source. Our hot water is heated directly by the sun. We have recently installed a $200,000 solar farm to cope with all the property's energy requirements.
We can organize excursions, chefs, masseuses (or pretty much anything) when you arrive and we have contact details in our visitors manual which we send out when you book with us.
Flights to George Town (GGT) are direct from Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Nassau (Bahamas) and Toronto (Canada).

We came with a group of 16 and the house accommodated everything we could have imagined. The kitchen was large enough for our group and room to cook, all of the kids had comfortable beds, including the adults, Josh, the house manager was very responsive, and the pool was big enough to accommodate our group as well. I would definitely stay here again.
We came to the Bahamas to celebrate a 40th anniversary. The island, the house, the water- were perfect. And the Bahamians were so helpful and kind.: Awesome!
This is a dream house! We were 2 families, 8 adults and 2 children. The house has 3 levels. The younger couples stayed downstairs on the pool level with the games room. Perfect! The rooms are all spacious with en suites. The master is out of this world. We rented a boat for the 10 days we were there and a couple of jet skis. We caught and cooked fresh lobster, crab and fish every day! Holiday of a lifetime!
This place was amazing! It really had everything we needed and was very spacious. I will say, the road getting to the property was a bit bumpy and more like an off road experience, so make sure you have a vehicle suitable for getting to and from! 😎 Josh, the property manager was very attentive. One of the showers didn’t work in a kids room and the gas grill didn’t work upon arrival. In the property’s defense, we didn’t mention it until departure. We’d definitely book again! 🏝️
Our week at the Sandbanks Lodge was everything we hoped for and more. The house is gorgeous with well-appointed rooms and kitchen. The outdoor space was where we spent most of our time. The kids loved the pool and the dock & outdoor swings. Hours were spent fishing and playing in the water. Communication with the owner was easy and he was very responsive. Josh, the caretaker, was always available for any questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this accommodation. Two notes: the roads to access the property are challenging, but we had a minivan and still managed just fine. Secondly, if traveling with small children we brought our own life vests (easy inflatable ones that were very packable on Amazon).
Spent a week at the SandBanks Lodge with two families (total of 11 adults). This house has a great setup on 3 levels so there was plenty of ample space. I have to add that the upstairs master bedroom has a super comfy mattress so appreciated that! The kitchen and dining room are spacious and the large patio overlooks the ocean. Having the heated infinity pool was a plus along with canoes and paddle boards that we used to get to the sandbar that appeared at low tide. Josh, the caretaker, met us shortly after we arrived and explained everything about the house and was always reachable by text…even on New Year’s Eve when we ran out of paper towel and the stores were closed. While we did explore the island and did several excursions, we also spent plenty of time at the house relaxing inside and out and everyone agreed it was the perfect landing spot. We would definitely recommend this home to family and friends if they head to Exuma.
Sandbanks Lodge was the perfect house for our four families. From the moment we pulled up to see the view of the beautiful flats to our last morning enjoying the beautiful heated pool! The 6 bedrooms had the most comfortable beds and each had their own bathroom with towels and beach towels. The air conditioners in each room cooled the rooms down quickly in the afternoons so that we would turn them off during the day while we were out visiting Exuma's beautiful beaches. The kitchen was large and open to the great room for fun family meals and game nights. There is another full sized refrigerator in the game room too! The teens loved the dual pool and ping pong table. The mom's loved the yoga mats and weights provided and everyone enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding. One day at low tide we even walked to the island straight out from the house- we were thinking it is 3-4 miles round trip but a fun adventure. I would definitely recommend this house to any groups looking for a fabulous time in Exuma!
To the Sandbanks Lodge Villa owner and management team, thank you so much for a beautiful stay. The villa was absolutely breathtaking, everything from the view, décor, and amenities was definitely worth it. The view is so beautiful and tranquil, it was therapeutic waking up to it every morning. The pictures and video are great but to be 100% honest, it just does not do the property justice. The ability to walk out the back yard and into the ocean for miles at low tide is a lifetime experience that you sounds made up when explaining it to others. What an incredible experience. The location was a little tough to get to because the roads are not well paved off the main street. However,we felt very safe. Robert and Josh promptly answered all of our questions which was much appreciated. Because they didn’t have guest booked right before us they allowed us to check in a little before check in time. This just speaks volumes of how accommodating management was and we greatly appreciate it. We look forward to staying at this villa again on our return to Exuma.
We had an absolutely amazing time at Sandbanks. We had a group of 15, ranging from ages 4 to 84. The house was large enough that we all had plenty of space to spread out, but there was also plenty of space when we wanted to hang out together. The water in front of the house is some of the prettiest water on the island! We walked out to the sand bars a few times. The pool was great. We were able to use the charcoal and propane grills for dinners. The only real complaint I have would be that we never really got a hot shower. Most likely because of so many people in the house. But other than that, it was so great. Josh, the property manager, was very responsive and helpful. We had some air conditioning issues that were quickly resolved. The location of the house is great, but the roads are ROUGHHH. We had a Pathfinder and two minivans. The minivans struggled until we found some better roads to get to the house. I can't say enough great things about Sandbanks though, and would highly recommend. You can not get a more gorgeous property!
This is a beautiful property in a beautiful location! Our family enjoyed all the amenities that were available.
On our first day, we just stayed on property and enjoyed the pool and took a day to recover from traveling.
On the 2nd day we used the provided equipment to kayak and paddleboard out to the the sandbar.
The third day we rented jetskis through Splashzone Water Sports (242-464-1459) Matthew promptly delivered two 3 seater jetskis and a 3 seater towable float to the house. I called and scheduled with him in the a.m. and in 10 mins we were able to confirm the equipment and delivery and two hours later we had the jetskis and enjoyed for the afternoon. They have full day rentals as well as boat rentals available as well and could not have been more accommodating!
Day four was windy and rainy so we just popped into the pool between showers. The pool is nicely heated so you can enjoy it even if the temps are otherwise cool.
Day five we went to Cocoplum Beach and exuma point to do some snorkeling, shelling, and playing in the sand. We didn't find too many shells or sand dollars, but we did see some kitesurfers (looks like it would be really fun, but most of us were either too young or too old for!). The sand dollars are found on the sandbar below the house on the cliff. But at Exuma Point, we saw lots of seastars and jellies.
The last day we took a private boat tour with Roberts Island Adventures. Also recommend!
We can’t quite justify giving this property 5 stars. While we enjoyed the overall experience, a few issues stood out. Some appliances were not working, and the lack of handrails on the slippery stairs is a safety concern—an accident waiting to happen. The pool was fantastic, and we liked the property overall, but it’s in need of a few updates as it shows signs of aging.
Our group’s two biggest complaints were the road conditions leading to the property, which were far worse than expected despite being forewarned. We had a flat tire on the first day, which set a frustrating tone. Secondly, the bug situation was unbearable, especially in the evenings and on the first-floor bedrooms. We believe they were no-see-ums or sand fleas, so I highly recommend bringing strong insect repellent, baby oil, and anti-itch cream if you stay here.
On a positive note, the caretaker Josh was great, and Emma, the friendly three-legged dog, was a nice touch. However, we strongly advise against using the rental service recommended by the owners, BlueSplash. We rented two vans and a car from them. The car was fine, but the vans were in such poor condition that they shouldn’t even be on the road—they wouldn’t pass a safety inspection in most countries.
Also the owners need to provide more towels, or at minimum tell renters to bring their own.
In summary, the property has potential, but a few updates and better preparation for guests would make a world of difference.
Josh is an excellent host providing a great welcome service and very responsive. It was a perfect location for our family of 12 and there’s no lack of things to do. The home has more room than we need what to do with.
Our first time in Exuma! The property was all that was promised in the description and more. Beautiful views, wonderful amenities, responsive staff. Highly reccommend!
We stayed at Sandbanks lodge for my husband’s 40th Birthday. The house is in an excellent location, just a short drive from restaurants and beaches and has unbelievable views.
Our stay in George Town was enjoyable, and Joshua was a truly great host. He maintained excellent communication throughout our visit and was always quick to respond to any calls, which we really appreciated. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore.While we thoroughly enjoyed our time, we did notice that the house could have been cleaner upon arrival. Additionally, we found ourselves needing to purchase more day-to-day products like toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, and dish rags, which would have made the stay more convenient.All in all, we had a good stay and would recommend it for the responsive host and excellent location!
Property was awesome and my family really enjoyed our stay
Awesome property and communication all around was great! Road to the property definitely could use some work which isn’t the homeowners fault. Besides very minor issues our stay was excellent and we definitely would stay again but rent a different type of vehicle.
Loved every minute! James was easy to communicate with for the months prior to our stay and Josh was great when we arrived. Home was clean and perfect for our group of 10. We enjoyed walking the sand bars and low tide and jumping in the pool at the end of our beach days. Amazing home amazing people to work with. Thank you James and Josh!
Our family was very comfortable and enjoyed the accommodations, pool, kayaks, location to many island activities, and short distance to the Georgetown airport. The views from the many balconies of the water and sandbar was spectacular. There were several issues that were resolved quickly. This is the reason we are giving it a 4 rating.
We had the absolute best time at Sandbanks Lodge! The property was even more beautiful in person and was everything we hoped for and more! I group of us came down to Exuma for my husbands 50th birthday and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. James and Joanes were easy to communicate with and they made sure everything went smoothly for our trip. We had a few questions and needed help w some stuff at the property and Joanes was extremely helpful. He helped us sent up boat tours and fishing too. We cannot wait to come back!!
