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.......... ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Stereo - TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Fenced yard - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone - Safe ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Water sports equipment - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99930000/99920600/99920567/0fc25ab9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Welcome to Serenity Hill, a private home on the island of Great Exuma, Bahamas Great - Ocean view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-17&endDate=2026-01-18&selected=99920567&PinnedHotelID=99920567&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112150000/112146800/112146738/3ab3a8ea.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### REGATTA VIEW Newly built 3-bed House, Water Front Views.

Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our family stay at Xanadu House exceeded all expectations with amazing panoramic views of Exuma blue and calming ocean. The decor of Xanadu made you feel as part of the ocean with seashells, starfish, corrals, and ocean colors. The sunrise each morning with captivating vibrant colors of the ocean and sun glint was breathtaking. Since the initial booking reservation and throughout our stay, Lisa was consistently available and provided recommendations of places to dine, tours, beaches to visit and much more. Xanadu house allows you to be present in the moment and appreciate the meaning of life !

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! ##### Kathleen W.

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! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carter L.

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! ##### Carter L. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beth M.

Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic Home in Exuma Xanadu is a fantastic home, and we had a wonderful family vacation in paradise! Lisa is phenomenal—very responsive, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and detail-oriented. If you want to explore tidepools, head to Exuma Point at low tide. For gorgeous white sand beaches and turquoise water, head to Cocoplum or South to Pretty Molly, Big Bay, and Tropic of Cancer. It is hard to describe how picturesque the water is in the Exumas: unbelievable! Some of the best snorkeling is right behind the house, including swimming with a sea turtle. We did an ATV ride with Exuma Adventure Tours and an excursion to see the pigs, iguanas, and sharks with Exuma Water Sports. Worth it! We also rented a boat with Minn's Water Sports in Georgetown and loved it so much we rented again on a second day. Some things to remember: food selection is limited, stores close early, or are not open on specific days, so plan ahead! Lunch was easier to find restaurants open- we hit Tim's on the Bay and made reservations for Coco Plum Bistro. We heard Blu on the Water was terrific, but didn't get there ourselves. We also discovered the Ice Cream Shack in Georgetown, which is homemade and fantastic after a hot day! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78b575b3-4e6a-4c11-a6b7-e9362915d66c-1750563834477.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fd71b9be-7e41-40e8-8d8f-ab4caa76c5de-1750563939998.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ad5664c5-91b8-4306-9119-166c768a65b6-1750563973612.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/36f1f300-e5cd-451e-9e69-a802bbc20213-1750564029885.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Grayson S.

Mar 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Ann W.

My family and I recently traveled to Exuma for the first time in May. First off it is one of the most breathtaking islands that we have ever had the privilege of visiting! Secondly, we couldn't have picked a more beautiful property to stay at then Xanadu House! The house has the most spectacular views from every angle!!! It is well appointed with everything you could possibly need for your island stay. A wonderful surprise for us was the treats that were left in the refrigerator upon our arrival! Lisa and Frank were a wealth of information about the island with great communication!! We will be visiting Xanadu House and Exuma again of that we are sure! This house is a beautiful hidden gem! ##### Maryellen M. Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth B.

This is a fabulous house and we could not have been more pleased with our experience there. Absolutely incredible views! The owners were delightful and provided so much information about the island. There were so many nice touches that we appreciated: coffee being provided, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of spaces to relax, the list goes on. I can't imagine staying anywhere else on Exuma. The location was perfect and very close to grocery stores and liquor store. We didn't want for anything with this rental: beach chairs, towels, snorkel equipment, laundry detergent, etc. We'll be back and would most definitely rent Xanadu from these lovely and gracious hosts!

The ocean view from the home is breathtaking, mesmerizing, and oh so relaxing. No filters needed on photos! The home is centrally located, and easy to get to most restaurants and activities. What an incredible home base for fun island adventures like Scuba diving, swimming w/ pigs and sharks, or water taxi-ing to Chat N’ Chill for a Sunday BBQ. Additionally, the hosts, Lisa and Frank, are wonderful, kind, and so communicative — we felt so comfortable and well-informed by the time we arrived. They have put so much love, care, and thoughtful touches throughout this beautiful home - high quality linens, well-stocked kitchen, beautiful decor! We loved every second of our time at Xanadu. Our daughters (now in college) said it was the best vacation we have ever experienced! ##### Stephanie E. Stayed 10 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mileska R.

The home and the views were nothing compared to the photos; it was even more beautiful and breathtaking in person. It was 6 of us and we were all comfortable in our own spaces. The sunrises are amazing especially with the sound of the waves if you sit down by the rocks. It truly was a vacation we will never forget. Lisa and Frank had all the amenities we needed. We did bring some of our own food such as, frozen ribs, steak, ground beef, chicken, canned tomato sauce, pasta, and some snacks. I did my homework for this family trip location so I was aware at the cost of food on the island. It’s expensive because everything has to get shipped to the island by boat. Liquor, jewelry, and perfumes are some of the things that you’ll find inexpensive on the island. Bringing some food from home was very helpful; we used dry ice for packing it in our suitcases. We ate out too. We went to Shirley’s which is a cute little spot close to the home… we ended up stopping there again for the conch salad that’s made on demand right next to Shirley’s. The people on the island are very friendly and helpful. For a night out we went to the Exuma Yacht Club which is like 5 minutes from the house. They have live music on Wednesdays which was a blast!! I would absolutely stay at this house again. Cleo the housekeeper was very responsive and so sweet! Thank you Lisa and Frank for sharing your beautiful beach house. ##### Mileska R.

There were 6 of us at Xanadu ages spanning 16-84 years old. IT WAS PERFECT. The view is amazing. The pictures don't even do it justice. Our family of 4 would adventure out during the day and the grandparents were completely happy enjoying the view from the enclosed sunroom (morning) and out on the deck (afternoon). The sunroom is incredible when the breeze stops and the bugs move in. The little no see ums and sand gnats are everywhere you go on the island, but you don't notice them if there is a breeze...when the breeze stop, watch out! The sunroom offers the perfect solution...you can enjoy the view and stay away from the bugs! This house is incredible. It has more than you could ever need. Most VRBOs have a "starter" of everything (detergent, dish soap, shampoo, etc). Lisa and Frank provide EVERYTHING. Full size in most cases. I was completely blown away. So generous and completely unexpected. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Even the refrigerator had most staples (mustard, Mayo, spices, sauces). This is a nice touch in the States...but SUPER helpful on a remote island. Lisa is an incredible communicator and provided so much information in preparation for our trip and was super responsive while we were on island with questions. She went above and beyond. We will be back! ##### Elli L. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### D B.

This home was perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed snorkeling on the shore at the house. The kitchen was well stocked and full size shower products were provided. Communication with the owner and manager was excellent.
