Welcome to Bella Mar by Exuma Exclusives, a 2,100 sq.ft., 4-bedroom home located in Little Exuma. The private beach area is a dream spot for kayakers and a perfect fit for families seeking a peaceful retreat. You’ll find both relaxation and adventure with a backdrop of stunning sunsets over Little Exuma’s iconic bridge. 

Bella Mar is approx. 25 minutes from Georgetown (groceries), 35 minutes from Exuma International Airport (GGT), and 15 minutes from the closest marina (Browns Marine)

Bella Mar is on the quiet side of the island in an area called The Ferry with endless stretches of clear, quiet waters. This area boasts some of the most incredible sand bars and beaches in the Bahamas. In just 15 minutes your entire party can be at Moriah Cay National Park in our available kayaks. Make a day of exploring the sand bars and wildlife and be sure to check out the Lazy River Sand Flats. Even on windy days, the waters of the Ferry Harbour remain calm, making kayaking accessible for everyone. Time it for low tide, take a picnic, and enjoy endless stretches of sandbars minutes from your vacation home. 

This charming 4-bedroom oceanfront escape comfortably sleeps 13, with bunk beds perfect for kids (or kids at heart). The fully-equipped kitchen, 4 bathrooms, and parking for multiple vehicles will provide all the convenience you’ll need for your Bahamas getaway and help you feel right at home.

Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide:
Upon booking, all guests automatically receive our curated Exuma Exclusives Travel Guide to help you save time planning your dream vacation. This complimentary package is carefully crafted to answer (almost!) any question you may have around planning your trip, recommended activities, restaurants, or points of interests, cost expectations, and the island in general. 

Customer Service:
By booking an Exuma Exclusives home, you can be confident you’ll receive the highest level of customer service before, during, and after your trip to Exuma. Our expert local property management teams can assist you with any aspects of your stay including, but not limited to: grocery delivery, chefs and local caterers, rental vehicles, excursions (such as visiting the swimming pigs!), babysitting services, fishing recommendations, and any other local recommendations or assistance you need. They have a wealth of knowledge about the island and are committed to ensuring you enjoy all Exuma has to offer - hassle free.

Important things to know when planning a trip to Exuma:

- Renting a car is highly recommended. Almost all of our guests rent cars for the duration of their stay and it is the best and easiest way to explore the island. Additionally, Exuma is unlike other islands - golf carts are not a typical form of transport on the main roads.
- Protect yourself from the unpredictable. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your trip that protects against any unexpected travel disruptions or delays. We’d be happy to recommend specific providers.
- Thinking of a boat rental? Boat rentals on Exuma are typically daily rentals only (no overnights). Therefore, it may not be necessary to pick your house based on the presence of a dock. If you’re bringing your own boat and your property doesn’t have a dock, please identify your closest Marina (provided above). 
- Thinking about a private chef? On Exuma - regardless of where you stay - most private chefs charge about $50–$100 per person, per meal on average. This usually includes the cost of groceries and a full menu (for example, a starter, main, and dessert, or a larger spread for breakfast or lunch). Keep in mind, this is just a general guideline for budgeting. Final pricing depends on: group size, menu requests, cost of food, and style of service. We always recommend sharing your preferences directly with the chef to receive an accurate quote tailored to your needs.
- Plan ahead: Restaurant reservations are recommended for peak seasons, particularly for large groups!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Bella Mar is approximately a 30-40 minute drive from Exuma International Airport (GGT).

  • The closest grocery store to Sunset Cove is Exuma Markets in Georgetown, which is approximately a 20 minute drive from the home (halfway between the Airport and Bella Mar). There are other various convenience stores along the way for light goods and snacks.

  • Browns Marine would be the closest Marina to the Villa, approximately 15-20 minutes away.

  • For large boats, the harbor is likely too shallow and it is not advisable. For smaller boats, guests can anchor slightly offshore. Most guests opt to hire a captain instead and go on excursions or guided trips instead due to the waters being somewhat hard to navigate. Additionally, the captains know all the best areas to maximize your value from your trip. Our property manager can help arrange this for you.

  • We have created an Exuma Travel Guide that can be found below by submitting your email address. This will have everything you need for your trip such as car & boat rentals, services, chefs, excursion recommendations and MORE! It is a perfect resource to have when planning your trip to Exuma.
