Sugar Beach Villa is a stunning vacation property. We couldn’t get enough of the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets overlooking the crystal clear blue Caribbean waters. The villas are laid out great and very well maintained with lovely furnishings. Liz, the owner, and her attentive staff Kim and Andrew, could not have made us feel any more welcomed than they did.
There were 3 couples in our group and are life-long friends that live in different states. We had originally booked for 7 nights in October 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic we had to postpone the trip to April 2021.
Liz was very accommodating in working with our schedule and helping us navigate the logistics traveling to Exuma and clearing customs. They even arranged for a medical technician to come to SBV to administer the Rapid COVID-19 test for our return trip to the USA.
One of our guest had her 60th birthday during the trip and we chartered the SBV’s twin engine, center console 33’ Donzi boat for the day with Andrew at the helm. We had a great day visiting several islands, swam with sea turtles, snorkeled, spotted manta rays and other sea life. We anchored and swam off of a beautiful isolated beach and walked along a sand bar looking for sea shells. The birthday continued with a delicious Bahamian dinner prepared by Kim. She did a great job decorating the newly renovated dining room as well which made for a very special birthday.
During our 7 night stay, we only ate out twice and each couple prepared a dinner in the very well appointed kitchen. We used their pellet grill to smoke a pork roast and the gas grill for some steaks and vegetables. It was so convenient and we had a lot fun cooking while sipping on some adult beverages.
The swimming pool is very nice which used but the beach is amazing and the water was perfect. We kayaked, swam and snorkeled the reef just off the beach. We could not get enough of how beautiful the water and beach was.
Everyone in our group honestly said this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. Sugar Beach Villa is a special place and we are so happy we had the opportunity to enjoy it.
We send our sincerest thanks to Liz, Cameron, Kim and Andrew for all their hospitality and efforts welcoming us to Sugar Beach Villa. It was a perfect vacation and we will look forward to returning sometime soon.

My family of seven adult children, my wife and I just returned home from celebrating my wife's 60th birthday party at Sugar Beach Villa, Exuma Georgetown Bahamas. I booked our reservations directly with Liz, the owner of the property, who was very accessible and willing to insert her ideas and expertise of the area to help fulfill experiencing the unknown that Exuma islands had to offer. The property was magnificent, providing our family with the privacy when needed, and opportunities to gather within the house, poolside and the beach with plenty of room. The photos do not provide the warmth and intimacy that this place has to offer. What makes this place wonderful is that fact that Kim who managers/manager, and also a knowledgeable chef of this property, is a wonderful person willing to make sure your every need is fulfilled. She goes out of her way providing services to make sure your stay has the opportunity to fulfill memories and forever keepsakes. Kim was helpful in providing a blackjack dealer for a casino night and on the night of my wife's birthday, she decorated our dining room with balloons and signs, as well baked a beautiful, delicious cake. Kim was also able to book a DJ providing music to dance out by the pool. She is definitely a reason we will return to this property as she has become part of our family. I cannot thank her enough for her thoughtfulness and helping me pull off surprising my wife for her 60th birthday.

This place was a perfect private family getaway with plenty of space, pristine, private beach and charm galore! We were 10 people ranging in age from 3 to 66 and we all loved every bit of it. Chefs Kim and Andrew curated and prepared 4 amazing dinners for us and also stocked our fridge with essentials upon our arrival. They were amazing!
All details were well taken care of and we felt very much at home. Huge thanks to all!

What an amazing trip - No other VRBO home have I ever experienced a true (Private) resort like feel. Liz has a special place on earth here at SBV. Kim the house manager does an amazing job and responds within seconds to any request or need. The home is in amazing condition. The pool / spa are perfect and the decks down by the ocean are great places to spend your days.
Kim prepped for us prior to our stay with groceries ( made the travel in so easy) and had the home in tip top condition prior to our arrival.
Kim and her husband Andrew cooked for us two nights (Lobster, Grouper, Jerk Chicken) with vegetables and rice and it was fantastic. Highly recommend!
Great home Great times~

This was my 3rd time to SBV. Family gathering consisting of 6. SBV offers an absolute exquisite panoramic view of the most beautiful colors an ocean can offer. The accommodations were wonderful and Kim really went out of her way to make sure all our needs were met. She made a fabulous lobster dinner for us one night to celebrate my niece's birthday. It was above and beyond our expectations. It truly is like an all inclusive resort of itself. The evenings we relaxed out on the deck and enjoyed the tropical breeze and listened to the ocean with some wine. The younger ones enjoyed a game of scrabble...the most impressive scrabble board I ever saw! My niece and I really got into the sunrises over a cup of coffee. Absolutely beautiful sunrises. Of course there is Stocking Island (ChatNChill), the sandbars, and the sea turtles. The pool and jacuzzi were wonderful and got plenty of use in the evenings. There are not enough words to explain how wonderful SBV is, it truly must be experienced. Thank you Liz and Kim for making a family gathering one that will never be forgotten. I don't hope to return....I guarantee I will return!

My family stayed at SBV during the Christmas Break 14-15. This was our first trip to the Exumas, although we have visited Eleuthera and other Bahamian islands many times. The positives: the house is lovely, and the grounds are well-kept. It should be noted that the villa is very secluded, and Little Exuma has no tourism infrastructure whatsoever (read: no grocery store). As such, there were no restaurants, in fact, other than 1-2 spots to eat (hardly qualify as restaurants) in Georgetown, prepare yourself to cook! This in and of itself was disappointing, which was compounded by the fact that the villa had no functioning dishwasher. We brought champagne and good quality wine to the house, only to find that there were no wine glasses, other than a few scratched up acrylic tumblers. Finally, though no fault of the owner's, the bugs were dreadful and we were eaten alive by the sand fleas. This put a serious damper on the holiday.
There is only one television, this in the second smaller property, and the screen is perhaps 20 inches. Given that there was nothing to do, no board games were provided, we rapidly grew bored.
Compared to other properties we have rented in this price range, this villa was disappointing, and whereas we have been repeat visitors to previously rented properties on other islands, I would not recommend Sugar Beach Villa.
As other guests have commented, the beach is beautiful and the house is quite nice, but due to the shortcomings aforementioned, I would keep looking. I tried posting to Homeaway after writing the owner but the review section on his site was suddenly removed!!

Response from SugarBeachVilla, Owner at Sugar Beach Villa
Responded 21 Jan 2015
While it is not our practice to respond to guest reviews, in this instance, we feel compelled to do so. First, if you are interested in staying at Sugar Beach Villa, we would request that you look at every other single review we have received to date. If you elect to read these reviews, you will see that these particular guests had a problem with most everything. Our Villa is known for its spectacular views and unparalleled beaches that surround Little Exuma and not our television set. We DO have a grocery store and there are restaurants. In fact, two new restaurants have just opened in the last few months! We encourage our guests to have the house fully stocked with groceries and spirits in advance of their arrival and we have a chef available to cook any meal at any time! In any event, we take all guest comments to heart. We have already installed a new dishwasher, which unfortunately broke down immediately prior to these guests arriving. Please note that we have two (2) full functioning kitchens at Sugar Beach. We will also be adding board games for our guests. And, as our website makes clear, the Caribbean in general and the Bahamas in particular, are well known for no-see-ums, which appear early in the morning and at sunset. These are generally a small nuisance provided you stay in winds while outdoors during these times. Many of our guests return year after year to enjoy Sugar Beach Villa and all it has to offer.

We stayed at SBV the week of New Years Eve with our adult and teenage children. Booking our trip was effortless as the owners assistant, Debbie, was very responsive and thorough before and during our stay. Sugar Beach Villa is off the beaten path and about a 40 minute drive from the Georgetown airport and town itself. However, from what we saw, most of the nice villas are secluded which is the allure of this area. Highly recommend a rental car to be able to explore, grocery shop, and feel less confined to the property. The caretakers, Miss Glo and Linton, were always available and responsive to anything we needed. Chef Anne included! Book her for your entire stay to cook excellent dinners which were timely, culturally tasteful, and a great way to have special family time without the stress of cooking and cleaning! We recommend grocery shopping for snacks, light meals (breakfast), and alcohol at the grocery stores on your way from the airport to the Villa. Linton stocked the Villa with our grocery list before our arrival...but, with four hungry young men, we quickly had to make another grocery run. Linton and Chef Anne were both very responsive whenever we needed something extra (be aware that emergency trips to the store will cost a service fee). The only negative of our trip were the sand fleas. Make sure during less windy days you do not keep the doors open and stay out of the brush on the grounds! The Bahamas are typically breezy islands which help with the pests and add to the excellent climate! Boating with Linton was such a great time and we highly recommend boating as much as possible...the beaches are magical!! For a secluded, relaxing, and no stress vacation, Sugar Beach Villa is paradise!!

We arrived just a day after the hurricane and the staff had been working non-stop to make the Villa ready for us! Speaking of the staff, amazing and excellent and made our stay exceptional. You must go out on the boat as much as possible with Captain Linton, visit the secluded islands and the most gorgeous beaches! We highly recommend to couples, friends and families. This is the place to stay in the Exumas!

I've been at Sugar Beach Villa now several times. With friends, with my husband, with him and my daughter... In any case, this piece of Heaven on Earth has become a dear place to me. It is indeed the most beautiful place, with great facilities. You can't get any more private than this... walk on the beach, or close by beaches and notice YOU ARE ALL BY YOURSELF and the beach and the beautiful waters are ENTIRELY for you! I've seen dolphins most of the times, rays, amazing fishes, birds, miles of transparent aquamarine waters, with a sudden red starfish or dolphins passing by, white tiny pebble sand you sink in it! I love it here so much that when i think "vacation", "retreat", "relaxation", "recharging", "beauty", i think of Sugar Beach Villa! And i've been with the old and the new staff. I have to say i always loved it. And now with the new staff things are even better! Make sure to go to the nearby cays... I would say: Don't think twice! Go to this well kept secret in the Bahamas and i am sure you will keep it in your heart forever!

We stayed at SBV in March of 2018 with a family of 4 along with two other couples. Our children (ages 8 & 5) were in heaven with the private beach & grounds around the property. The accommodations are top shelf as we have stayed at several other rental houses on Exuma-- SBV was the best of all of them. Nice that there are two kitchens (a separate one private chefs), and incredible privacy with all the bedrooms & guest house. Plenty of nice bathrooms for everyone, as well as a great outdoor shower to remove sand before entering the house. The no see-ums & bugs in general were a complete non-issue with the breeze from the ocean. Caretakers Linton & Glo were most accommodating & helpful. Very private location where you hear absolutely no road noise. Highly recommend Sugar Beach Villa for family & couples.
