Family Vacation

Every single living space, aside from the bathrooms of course, has a stunning view of the ocean! There is plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out. The grill area is fantastic. We enjoyed the clean and well maintained pool and hot tub. The property managers were very nice, responsive and helpful both while we were planning the trip as well as during our stay. This is a nice home for a large group. Thank you very much.

The best weekend ever!

Shades of Blue was AMAZING!!! To wake up with the pool and ocean view every morning was a dream come true. Stephanie was so responsive and helpful and we couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. The house was clean and she had a handy man come the same day any issues came up. It was the perfect bachelorette party weekend and we hope to be back soon!

A Dream Anniversary Getaway at Shades of Blue in Exuma!

We recently celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary with a 5 day stay at a beautiful rental home in Exuma, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and the peaceful privacy of the home.The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and fully equipped with everything we needed—from pool and beach amenities to cozy outdoor seating for sunset beverages. We woke up every morning to the sound of the ocean and spent our days exploring nearby beaches, visiting local bars/restaurants, and enjoying celebrating under the stars.The hospitality of the host was exceptional. They provided all the recommendations needed to create a great time with lasting memories and were incredibly responsive and thoughtful.Exuma is paradise, and this home made it feel like our own little slice of heaven. If you’re looking for a romantic, relaxing, and unforgettable getaway, look no further. We’re already dreaming about coming back—maybe for our 15th!Highly recommend!

Beautiful house with spectacular views

We had our family reunion at shades of blue and the house and views were fantastic! The house seemed to be recently renovated, and there was plenty of space for all our family. The water really was the most spectacular shades of blue!

It’s a winner

17 of us had such a great time in shades of blue. The children lived in the pool and hot tub, our family dinners were the best and we so enjoyed the house. We went on excursions every day and highly recommend sugar adventure for your boating day. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Absolutely Exquisite!!

Our stay at Shades of Blue was absolutely exquisite..... Such a beautiful home with the most amazing view of the water! Even though weather tried to ruin our time, we couldn't have picked a better place to have my wedding and to be surrounded with the people we love! The owner Stephanie was absolutely amazing to work with and made things so easy! Definitely will be returning in the future!

Shades of Blue Family Vacation

Our stay at Shades of Blue was perfect. The beds were extremely comfortable, there was an ample number of pots and pans for cooking and communication with the property manager and owner could not have been better. The views from every room of the house along with the private beach makes this house a number one choice.

Beautiful Vacation

This house is located on a quiet beach overlooking such beautiful blue waters. In front of the house you have a light surf to play in or you can walk a short way down the beach to a cove with calm water. The house is large and we had plenty of room to gather in or a quiet place for those that needed to do some online work. I would certainly recommend or return to this house with my family!

Great home and Stephanie rocks!

I rented this home for 17 of my friends to celebrate my 40th birthday! From the time of booking to after I got home, Stephanie was absolutely incredible to work with! She had the best recommendations, was super attentive and not to mention the home was gorgeous! It was a great set up for a large group of adults. I still dream about the views and I cannot wait to go back!
