Perfect Location for Beach Vacation
We loved the location of the pretty home. Although it is not a 3 bedroom home as advertised, it was good for the three of us. The owner was attentive and helped solve problems that arose. It had all the necessaries for a great beach vacation.

This is was our second stay at Villa Majorie and it just gets better every visit . The host was always available and accommodating and was as usual a pleasure to speak with ! The description is exactly as promised . The best beach in the world in our opinion and the water … it’s almost like it’s not real … it’s the most turquoise in the island … we just relaxed outback in a picture perfect serene environment that makes you not want to ever leave ! Thank you again to the host and we can’t wait to get back !

Great location!
This was our second visit to Exuma and super excited about the location of the home. 6 minutes from the airport, 10 minutes from down town Georgetown, and just minutes to different restaurants and beaches. This was a perfect home for my husband and I. It was quiet and clean. Thank you for opening up your home to us!

Quiet, clean home located right on the beach-PERFECT
For our annual winter getaway, we look for places like this one. It is quiet, modern, well equipped, conveniently located & directly on a beautiful beach. We like to take long daily walks and IMO this is the best beach type for that: sandy with some waves and VERY peaceful w/FEW people. What a great place! if you ever decide to sell, make sure you let us know

Beautiful house on the water
Villa Marjorie was a great house on a large soft, sandy beach. The house was well appointed, with a nice kitchen, pretty bathrooms and comfortable beds. Do note that the 3rd bedroom is the living room. The couch is a double recliner, not a pull out. My teen thought is was less than optimal for sleeping but you can always nap on the beach later (but beware the no-see-ums cause those suckers bite and you itch). The stretch of beach you will sit on has several houses and makes for a great morning or afternoon stroll. We didn't kayak too much as the water was rough, but it could be a fun activity. The other houses are close, but not too close so they don't bother you. All in all a great place for a small group to beach dream the days away.

I attended a wedding that was hosted on the same beach, so this rental was the perfect location. It is about 15 minutes from town which can get pricey if you take cabs, but the beachfront makes up for that. The host was super responsive throughout our stay, and we really enjoyed it!

Paradise in Exuma
My family and I stayed at this beautiful property June 2-9. This place was amazing! It was decorated so nice! The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were just what we needed. The house was very well equipped with everything from comfortable waffle robes in both bedrooms to so many beach items. They had four brand new beach chairs. The kitchen was also very well equipped with everything you need to cook with. We loved the back porch with four very nice lounge chairs. We didn’t do any tours because we had everything we needed and wanted right there. Our favorite thing about Villa Marjorie was the beautiful beach and how close we were to the majestic blue water. We spent all of our time just chilling on the beach. It was incredible! And Jenna, the property host was very helpful if we had any questions. We would definitely stay there again! Best vacation for my husband and our two daughters who are 22 and 25. Our oldest daughter was getting ready to start her residency in Internal Medicine & Pediatrics so it was a great place for her to relax before she starts a very grueling schedule. And our youngest daughter had just returned from Tanzania, Africa after being there for a year as a missionary, it was a fantastic way for her to decompress after living in difficult conditions for a year. It was great time of bonding for the four of us in this tropical paradise. We would certainly stay there again!

A week of sun, sand and turquoise water views
Great location, close to airport and grocery stores. House was clean and pictures are accurate. Plenty of beach towels to use and floats for the water. House could use a new grill brush, and basic staples such as salt and pepper. Groceries are expensive on the island ! Overall, a week in paradise was enjoyed by the three of us.

Beautiful Beach & House
We really enjoyed our week-long stay at Villa Marjorie! The place was very clean and had all of the cooking utensils we needed (my 5yo daughter especially appreciated all of the kids' dinnerware). Walking right out from the bedroom to the beautiful turquoise waters and softest sand I've ever been on - bliss! The villa is well stocked with laundry and dish detergent, plenty of bath and beach towels, floats, life jackets, kids' sand toys, and we really enjoyed taking the kayak out! One thing to note is the water from the tap doesn't get super hot (probably like this all over the island), but it's hot enough for a nice shower after a day on the beach. Jena was very communicative when I reached out here and there. Other notes - Be prepared for food prices on the island - very expensive compared to US ($8-12 for a box of cereal!) We used Thompson's Car Rental by the airport. Very easy process and reasonable rates. We didn't have any problem driving on the island, down to Georgetown (cute straw market), though the roads toward the northern part of the island get a bit rough (we had an excursion out of Barreterre Dock through Exuma Water Sports and would recommend them as well!) We weren't particularly impressed with the Fish Fry area for dinner (high prices, low ambiance), but Mike's Pizza Plus just down the road has delicious pizza and wings! The only unfortunate part of our trip was that my daughter got a terribly painful case of swimmer's ear. Thankfully, Dr. Rolle at the Exuma Family Medicine Clinic was able to see us promptly, and Smitty's Pharmacy was able to quickly fill her prescriptions at very reasonable prices. If you have a medical need while on the island, highly recommend them! We loved our stay at Villa Marjorie and hated to leave but hope to return one day. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.

Amazing, Relaxing Vacation
Our family of five enjoyed a wonderful week at Villa Marjorie. It was our first time on Exuma and it was more beautiful and relaxing than we expected! The house was clean and comfortable. There were many things available to us (beach towels, sand toys, floaters) in the house so we didn’t have to bring them! When the TV was not working properly, the owner arranged for a new one to be brought and installed as soon as possible! The beach and ocean were glorious. The local Bahamian people were so friendly and kind. Our suggestions for those visiting Exuma are to research ways to stop no-see-ums (bug spray didn’t work for us), make reservations for the more popular restaurants (Rusty Anchor and Blu on the water) and rent the Jeep (vs a car or minivan)! Thank you to the owner for all of your help!
