Welcome to Nautilus By The Sea, one of the newer waterfront homes on Great Exuma, completed in January 2022\. Brand new pool and deck completed December 2024\. Enjoy stepping into the beautiful warm turquoise waters of Hoopers Bay directly from your back door where you will find colourful fish, sea fans, and an abundance of other marine life ready to dazzle you. Two stand up paddle boards, four kayaks and snorkel gear are provided for you to explore Hoopers Bay. In addition to the waters of Hoopers Bay, you can also enjoy swimming or lounging in our 15 by 28 ft pool with amazing views of the beautiful Exuma turquoise water. This is one of just a few properties with a dock on Hoopers Bay. The dock extends 50ft into the bay which can accommodate up to a 36ft boat and 3ft draft. (The boat lift is not available for guest use.) There is a mooring buoy just off the dock as well to keep the boat secure. Only privately owned boats are able to be kept at the property. Guests with privately owned boats can hop in the boat right from their back yard and explore the spectacular sandbars, secluded beaches, snorkelling reefs, lazy river, restaurants etc. The home sits on a small private lane off Queens Highway on 0.75 acres, 125ft of waterfront and the house is 90 feet from the shoreline. It has many outdoor places to entertain and relax at the seaside, even workout in our outdoor gym (pull up bar, battle ropes, weight lifting, sit up bench, free weights etc) There is a large deck off the great room under a canopy of trees providing shade all day where you can grill out, dine and relax, or follow the wooden paths to the dock, gazebo and boardwalk along the shoreline. Stop along the way to gently swing in hammocks under the Gumbo Limbo trees and take in the tropical gardens throughout the property. Enjoy laying on sun loungers on our sandy "beach" or have some fun playing cornhole and ring toss while taking in the amazing views. In the evening, enjoy gorgeous sunsets and sit under the twinkling lights of the waterside gazebo while gazing at the stunning stars that fill the sky here in Exuma. There is a bright and sunny courtyard at the front entry where you can relax in Adirondack chairs and enjoy the peace and tranquility of palms blowing in the wind, wind chimes, butterflies, birds and beautiful vibrant colored tropical flowering plants of Exuma. The house is a modern design 3 bedroom / 2 bath with 13 ft ceilings and a great room with a full wall of glass offering a breathtaking view of the stunning blue water. The kitchen with large island, dining room and living room with 65” TV comprise the great room. The home has a split floor plan design, with the primary suite on one end of the home. The primary bedroom has three 8’ high sliding glass doors proving a beautiful view of the water and leads to a private deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee in Adirondack chairs looking out at the water. It has a king size bed, a 50" Smart TV and large desk. The primary suite also includes a large closet and beautiful ensuite bathroom with a double vanity and extra large doorless shower. Separate from the primary suite and on the other end of the house, there are 2 bedrooms and a full guest bathroom. One bedroom is seaside and has 2 extra long twin beds which can be easily converted to a king size bed, also with three 8’ high sliding glass doors that open onto a private deck. The 3rd bedroom has a garden view on 3 sides with a patio door that leads to a private patio with bistro set and path to the water's edge. It has a queen size bed and an extra long twin bunk bed. The couch in the great room converts to a double bed. The maximum occupancy is 8, which can be divided comfortably among the 4 sleeping spaces. Take advantage of a private hot and cold tap outdoor shower to freshen up after a swim in the pool or ocean. The house is in an ideal location to take in all the unique activities the Exumas has to offer.... Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, splashing and snorkelling from your backyard, just 90ft from your back door. 5 minute swim, paddle or walk to Turtle Beach where you can swim with the popular Hoopers Bay turtles and enjoy a stroll along or picnic on a gorgeous white sand beach. 5 minute walk to Prime Island Meats, Deli and Grocery Store and pizza restaurant 3 minute drive to a liquor store (C.N.K. Liquors) and grocery store / pharmacy (Smittys) 8 minute drive to Georgetown 10 minute drive to the airport 5-10 minute drive to fantastic restaurants with fresh local seafood, and conch salad. We are one of just a few homes on the island with Fibre internet providing the best quality Internet available on the island. There is wifi as well as a hardwired connection at the primary bedroom desk if required. 4 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, coolers, beach chairs, beach umbrella and snorkel gear are available for guests to use as well as games and books for some fun indoors as well. The house is equipped with a solar power system, therefore power outages are not an issue. This amazing property is sure to provide you and your family/guests with a very special place to stay while creating experiences and memories of a lifetime. GUEST COMMENTS...

It is close to Georgetown and within walking distance of some shops yet is wonderfully private. The gardens surrounding the house are beautifully landscaped and the exterior provides plenty of space for a group of six adults to spread out. The interior is equally impressive. The bedrooms are large with comfortable beds. The great room comfortably accommodated our group and the kitchen provided everything you will need for your stay. The house manager Monica was immensely helpful both in the planning stages of our trip as well as upon arrival. A big thank you to the owners for sharing this wonderful house and to Monica for all your help. ##### Laurie K. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill R.

She was super responsive and made sure our stay was flawless. House is beautiful and basically brand new - can't beat that. Pictures don't do the outside justice either. We loved being able to hang out in back, swim in back, and hop on paddles & kayaks and just head out. The 3 min walk to a great beach was a huge bonus. We really loved hanging out there. Kitchen is stocked so we were able to cook whenever we wanted. bedrooms were a great size - plenty of room and places for clothes. Laundry also a great bonus. Honestly it was perfect.

We sent her a list for groceries and we were delighted to have them all there and waiting for us after a few days of dealing with delayed flights. We walked into the house and immediately fell in love with the views, layout and attention to detail the owners put into this beautiful home. We were a party of five and we had more than enough room. We had our own outdoor playground. We kayaked, paddle board, snorkeled and just enjoyed our coffee on the private deck. We saw turtles, tons of fish and a daily visit from a ray. We named him Manny! We woke up every morning and just went outside to enjoy the beauty. Monica and her assistant Krissy were so attentive during our stay! We relied on them for recommendations, and all their recommendations worked out great. House is located near everything. If you are thinking of booking this home. Do not hesitate. It truly made our stay perfect! Thank you for making our vacay perfect! ##### Jayme B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa T.

From the second we opened the front door our family was in love! It's your own private paradise! The owners designed this house around the natural beauty and enjoyment of the property in mind. Located on Hooper's Bay, we had sea turtles visit us every morning and every evening. Our family loved relaxing on the tree covered deck, sitting on the dock, kayaking to the sandy beach, paddle boarding, swimming in the most gorgeous water and so much more right in your own front yard! We had 6 adults all having more than enough space and privacy. The house was cool and comfortable throughout. We all slept so well every night. Location is wonderful as well. Minutes to the airport, a small grocery and meat market and to Georgetown. 30 minutes either way gets you to any beach you want to explore from the Tropic of Cancer to Coco Plum. The last night of our vacation we enjoyed Cocoplum Bistro for dinner. We went around the table with each family member sharing their "favorites" from the week. Every person said the house was one of their favorite things. We woke up every morning in paradise! Last but not least, Monica our host was wonderful! She met us the first day, showed us around and told us about events that were taking place on the island. I texted with her throughout the week with ease. Thank you for such a relaxing week spent making memories that my family will always cherish! ##### Lisa T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooke W.

You can kayak, paddle board and snorkel right out the back door. The bay is unbelievably clear and we were able to see several species of fish right from the dock. The home is lovely with incredible views. We enjoyed our stay very much. ##### michele p. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean L.

The pictures online are great and accurate. The home is very well kept and has all of the amenities of home. Monica is the best- very accomodating and responsive. The space is very clean, comfortable, convenient to everywhere. We will be back and I hope Nautilus by the Sea will be available! ##### Robert M.

The home is so nice, and well appointed on the water, centrally located in Georgetown, near the meat market and easy to get around to most anywhere. The pics of the property don’t do it justice - it’s absolutely stunning. The kitchen has nice features, all new appliances, great cooking ware, and the bathrooms are all nice and new. I would definitely stay here again. Don’t have any reservations about staying, just book it. The property mgr Monica is an absolute delight and terrific communicator too. Loved our time here! ##### Rose K.

Probably the best service we have ever had from a caretaker. Monica went above and beyond from the second we booked until we got checked in. The house is even better looking than the wonderful pictures. High quality construction and furnishings. The outdoor space has many facets and all very inviting. Highly recommended house. ##### Kevin G. Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy S.

Monica was amazing and met us at airport and took us to the house. When you walk in, you are blown away by the view. Everyday we had a turtle show up (we named George) and we fed it lettuce. We had huge nurse sharks swim by the house three days and the kayaks were easy to load in the water and take us over to the beach. I recommend taking the water taxi over to Chat N Chill and have a drink and feed the stingrays. It did rain a few days but the house was spacious and we had games and tv to keep us entertained. We will be back to this property soon! ##### Wendy S. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hanne O. Jan 17, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Waterfront Property Seven of us stayed at this house for 10 days with ages ranging from 21 to 63 and everyone had a great time! The photos are very accurate and the waterfront location is wonderful. We would have loved another bathroom for our group but we managed and the outdoor shower was a plus. We think that a couple more kayaks, especially a couple of double kayaks would be a big plus for this house so that the group could kayak together to the nearby beach to spend some beach time. Hooper's Bay is a beautiful beach and worth visiting the turtles there. We went on a couple of boat tours with Antonio from Johnson's Getaway and he was fabulous. He took us on the full day Swimming Pigs excursion and the half day Sandy Cay and Lazy River excursion. Both were highlights of our trip and we would highly recommend doing this as the true beauty of Exuma is in the water. ##### Hanne O. Stayed 10 nights in Jan 2023
