Great stay

The best part is that no matter where you look you have an amazing view of the water. Great stay, they had everything you needed to cook or have a cocktail at the tiki bar.

Beautiful place

Nice space and clean. Nice outdoor space and games for everyone. Well stocked kitchen and nice beds. Lots of restaurant locations near by - everyone is on island time so bring snacks :) All in all a great vacation.

Awesome house with private views

Paradise Found was in a perfect location for us to easily explore the entire island, and had the best backyard with private views to wind down at the end of the day. I've already told so many people back home about it!

Amazing location and beautiful home

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Paradise Found. The home was well stocked and the location was perfect. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with. We were able to explore the entire island and felt like the home was centrally located. The owner provided everything we needed for our stay. The recommendations that were shared for excursions and dining were some of the best on the island. Highly recommend staying here.

Absolutely Amazing!

The photos really don’t do this place justice. We are a group of 7 traveling from the US and stayed for 4 nights. We were completely blown away by this house, the views and how helpful Rachel & Cleo were. We highly recommend this home and will definitely be back in the future!

Made fun memories - beautiful property

We had the best time this week! The house was better than described - when we rent in USA, the spices and condiments are all gone. This place had everything we needed! That is such a small thing to mention, but loved it. Cleo, the house manager, is the sweetest and very responsive. Rachel, the owner, is the same. We had everything we needed. We made so many memories here! The property was large enough that even though we had two families, there was plenty of space for everyone inside and out.

Enjoyed the private paradise!

This was our first experience at a vacation rental while in the Exumas, and it was a good one! I most enjoyed how truly private the home and back yard paradise felt. We got in the water off the back of the property several times and there is a bit of rocky area to traverse but then you quickly get to the white powered sand bottom. The water everywhere on this island is just amazing. Beds were very comfortable, there was nothing we were missing, and it was really nice to be able to use the washer/dryer (and cooler) during our stay. Wonderful host and experience!

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. My entire family agrees that we could never imagine visiting Exuma again if not staying at Paradise Found house. Rachel and her husband Ed have stocked the house with everything you could imagine plus more. We cooked 4 dinners at the house and had everything we needed for this. We had pretty bad weather a couple of nights and easily found flashlights throughout the house that really came in handy for a card game night in the dark. Cleo and Angel were also very helpful with grocery shopping for us prior to our arrival and delivering more water when we were running low. Rachel responded to me via text throughout our stay answering any questions I had - she even tried to help me find new flights after ours were delayed, but we unfortunately arrived two days later than expected. Some of our best times had during our trip was taking full advantage of the location of the house and being able to enter the water right from the stairs leading down to the little beach area. The boys (18, 14, and 10) loved the paddle board and kayaks while my sister and I relaxed in the floats provided. Even on the “rougher” water days we were still able to safely enter the water and snorkel along the rocks. We saw so many different fish, starfish, and my nephew even found a little octopus!

My son is very adventurous and we enjoyed a hiking along the rocks out back.

The boys snorkeling right out back! Easy and safe access into the water!

Paddle boarding and kayaking right out back.

The stingrays at Chat N Chill were so fun!

Paradise was found!!

Wow! When we pulled in the driveway, it was like heaven! The pictures do no justice of the picturesque scenery . We were greeted by Cleo who made sure everything was perfect when we entered. We did not get to take the kayaks out because it was a little choppy when we were there but Jolly Hall was picture perfect and we spent quite some there. Evenings were a blast with the tiki bar and the large selection of movies and games. Thank you Rachel and Ed for sharing your home with us! Truly Heaven on Earth.

Paradise is it

Paradise Found is accurate as seen on the site. The home is lovely and they have not forgotten anything you might want for!!! The outdoor space makes this home special. This is our third time to Exuma and it never disappoints. The beach is often not there and it’s to rough to kayak etc but there are so many other beach options on the island it never bothered us. The views are just spectacular from this location. Rachel and Cleo were always easy to connect with and quick to respond. You won’t be disappointed with this VRBO.

Paradise truly found!

This was an amazing stay! Not our first time to Exuma so we knew what great things to expect of the island and were not disappointed. First time however to Paradise Found and I'm quite sure we'll be back. The home is beautiful, clean ,and very well appointed. The views are incredible. It is extremely private and tucked away against the most stunning land and seascapes! It was great having coffee outside watching the sun rise with waves crashing below. Aaaah! Rachel was great and very responsive during the booking and post booking processes, and Monica graciously received us on the island and assisted with our needs. She was kind enough to return to the airport after our flight had been delayed! It was smooth from start to finish and we can't wait to be back!

Love Exuma and Paradise Found!

Our family has visited Exuma a couple of times, but this was our first stay at Paradise Found. The house is beautiful inside and out and super comfortable. Our kids had a great time with the outdoor Connect4 and other patio games. Adults enjoyed the multilevel decks and seating areas. Honestly, the only part of the home that I would change is that I would push the deck further out over the water so you can jump directly in- the rocks can be a little treacherous, but we didn’t mind them much. That is just something that spoiled us from a previous Exuma rental! Honestly, you can’t pick a better location- Smitty’s grocery is super close and you can swim with sea turtles in Hooper’s Bay in 5 minutes! We really appreciated not having to drive in to the Exuma markets for groceries. Also, Cleo worked with our trip concierge so that our house was pre stocked with our groceries before we arrived… Her willingness to do that was fabulous. Overall, we had a fantastic vacation. 10/10 - would definitely recommend!

PARADISE FOUND SAYS IT ALL!!

Great property with an awesome view. We loved our stay at Paradise Found. The house was clean and ready when we arrived and is a beautiful property. It’s well stocked with everything you need from kitchen gadgets to beach towels and beach chairs to kayaks. You won’t be disappointed if you rent this one!!!! But the outside area is the best part!! Lots of room and sitting areas including your own tiki bar. We had a total of 10 family members staying on the island and everyone always ended up at “Paradise Found” when the sun went down!! We’ve been to Exuma several times and always rent through VRBO. If you’re looking for a house with the big sandy beach right out front, like other reviews have said, this my not be the house for you. We have usually done that ourselves but end up running to different beaches everyday and don’t use our beach at the house much anyways. So the outside area and view at this house and the privacy well makes up for not being right on that big sandy beach!!! We loved Paradise Found and enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect place to come home to after a day out exploring and our whole group could relax on the deck and enjoy the view. Thanks for sharing your beautiful property with us!!! We will definitely be back.

Truly Paradise Found

Can not say enough about this spectacular property. Absolutely AMAZING on all levels. Rachel’s home is truly paradise found. The setting, location, decor, cleanliness, comfort, style, amenities are like no other we have ever experienced in a house rental. Our family of 6 loved every minute of our stay and the home provided every comfort you can imagine. The kitchen, linens, tiki bar, water accessories, etc… were so well stocked. Rachel goes above and beyond to provide absolutely everything you could want for while staying in her beautiful home. The views are like no other. We started and ended each day taking full advantage of the infinite views, picture perfect water, clear skies and amazing breezes on the over water deck. The outdoor furniture is abundant and all so comfortable. The beds were fantastic and the house and furnishings are in superb condition. We loved being in such a convenient location while still set so back from the road. Felt like we were in our own oasis. Literally took our breath away. Could not have dreamed of a better place to host our family vacation. Really appreciated Cleo’s introduction to the property and super grateful for Rachel’s easy and prompt communication from the time we inquired about the property until we left. Doesn’t get better than Paradise Found!!!! Thanks Rachel and Cleo for an unforgettable stay!!!

No words to describe the perfection of this house

We just spent 10 magical days at Paradise Found. Wow! From the second you come up the driveway you will be blown away! First of all, the house and garage are beautifully painted and the grounds are well maintained and absolutely perfect! The screened in porch area is perfect for grilling and is a great location to drop your stuff from a day at the beach! Walking into the perfectly cooled house with its beach vibe, big kitchen, open air dining and living rooms was perfect every single time we came back from our adventures. The bedrooms were very nice and I must say, the beds were the most comfortable we have found in our travels! What will truly amaze you is the view from the giant windows and then stepping out on the huge outdoor patio area. WOW! We loved it so much from the travertine tiling to the wood decking. The outdoor shower was a Godsend and it was so fun watching the different birds visiting every day. Not one thing disappointed with this house. The process was perfect. Monica met us at the airport and Cleo was just finishing up cleaning when we arrived. Both ladies are lovely! Rachel could not have been more accommodating throughout the entire process- answering my questions and had many suggestions to make the trip great! Thank you, Ed and Rachel for sharing your slice of heaven with the world! We will be back for sure!

Great vacation!!...excellent house with stunning views and good location...can’t ask for more !!! 😄

The pictures speak for itself...I can’t add much more details than other 5-star comments...just to coincide with then that THIS IS A GREAT HOUSE...very well equipped and maintained and conveniently centrally located if you want to explore Great Exuma. As a Nassau resident that loves to explore the out islands, I’ve been around quite a few times: Ábaco, Hope town, twice to Eleuthera, Staniel Cay, Spanish Wells and twice to Great Exuma...this is the best house I’ve stayed so far. I tend to do quite an extensive search before booking looking for a good balance between amenities, view, location and price. If you are a group of 6 to 8 including a mix of adults and kids don’t look any longer...this is THE house !!. We were 5 adults and 4 kids ages 1 to 6 yrs. and this was the perfect fit for our needs. Rachel answered courteously and promptly all our doubts. A separate paragraph for Monica: one evening one of my friends got very badly bitten by sand flies while exploring a remote beach...by 10 pm it was clear she was going to have a tough night and, with all stores closed, I called Monica who offered a antishstamine and a calming balm. She even offered to go the house to deliver it which I refused..the least I could do is get the car and do the short 10’ drive to her house...THANKS MONICA!!. In summary: excellent house and great friendly people running it. WILL BE BACK !!! 💪🏼💪🏼👏🏼👌🏻
