About this property
PRIME BEACHFRONT directly on HOOPERS BAY: KING OR TWIN BED STUDIO for 2
Enjoy drifting off to sleep with the soothing sounds of gentle lapping waves on the beach. Then waking up in the morning & with only seconds away from your Studio, you could be enjoying the first swim of the day in the incredibly blue & calm sea of Hoopers Bay - undisturbed by any other people & only a Green Turtle or two to notice you. Later, take out one of our kayaks to further explore the bay or spend some time snorkelling. Too much activity? Then just relax & unwind on one of our beach loungers or sea-floats until time comes for a cool drink. Sheer bliss in the Bahamas!!
We have been pleased to have won both the Travelers Choice, and Certificate of Excellence awards for the third consecutive year from the worlds largest trip advisory organisation and based on our guests reviews. The Studio/Efficiency offers a KING bed (or 2 x Twin beds if preferred), kitchenette with 2 hot rings, fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee makers etc etc. Shower room with WC and Hand basin, dining area with table and chairs, loveseat, A/C and ceiling fan, flat screen cable TV with 53 major channels, radio/cd player. The A/C and ceiling fan ensure our guests stay in comfort. Outside there is a private sea-facing patio with outdoor table and chairs for relaxing or al-fresco meals. Just a few steps though our palm tree filled garden is the beautiful Hoopers Bay beach - regarded as the BEST TO STAY ON IN EXUMA and the only beach with resident GREEN TURTLES to watch or swim with !! The 1/2 mile ( 1km ) long, soft white sandy beach slopes gently into the amazing blue, calm and safe sea for swimming, snorkeling, watching the Green Turtles or relaxing on our loungers and chairs. For the more energetic, we have FREE Kayaks for our guests to enjoy exploring more of the protected bay. Although quietly located, George Town International airport is only 10 minutes away (our dedicated taxi driver will greet you there ) whilst the capital, GeorgeTown, is 6 minutes away. No need to drive or taxi to shops as we have a good range within a 5 minute easy walk for groceries, butcher and deli, pharmacy and liquor. Flying to GeorgeTown airport ( GGT ) is straightforward with DIRECT daily flights on AA, Delta and United/JetBlue and Air Canada also have DIRECT flights from Toronto. More locally, there are several flights each day from Nassau on Bahamasair or Western Air taking about 35 minutes. As we live nearby, we personally greet our guests when they arrive at Sandy Palms and are available when required to help with information or to arrange activities such as boat trips,etc.

The host were great. Welcoming. accomodating and friendly as anyone could hope fore.The location was great. Beach is great. Property is tidy.A few issues with the place. The shower had very little pressure and the hot water took a long time to come. The hot plate took a long time to boil water. The hairdryer was not working but was quickly replaced. Television stopped working but was quickly fixed.
Wonderful kind and caring Hosts. The beach they have is prime Exuma beach on Hooper’s bay. We loved having our long morning coffee on the beach, loved where Sandy Palms is located; easy to get to Georgetown, easy to get anywhere!A car rental is a must. Smitty’s grocery is less then a mile away so easy and well stocked. Peter was amazing at welcoming us and explaining everything we needed to know about the house and about the area as well. We will be back thank you Peter and Betty!

Amazing Trip!
This was the most amazing vacation! The room was perfect and so close to the beach. We swam with sea turtles, saw shooting stars, rented a boat, snorkeled and took a water taxi to Chat N Chill to feed conch to stingrays! We could have stayed for a month. Thank you for a wonderful experience and the vacation of a lifetime.

Peter and Betty are the perfect hosts.
The house is just perfect for my crew. The beach is the best I've found anywhere in the world so far. We always look forward to our next stay at Sandy Palms!

Hoopers bay: what a surprise!
Peter was a very landlord: he describes you everything about the house and the island. The apartment is small but well equipped and is very very close to the beach (my beloved ones on Exuma for sunset and turtles!).
We had some problems with mosquitos due to some rainy mornings.
It was a great experience staying here. It was close to the beach and had a nice view. I enjoyed my time here.

YOUR LITTLE PARADISE
Just returned from our vacation and absolutely enjoyed our stay at Sandy Palms. The nice and lovely studio has everything you need. And the Hooper's Beach in front of the house is just beyond gorgeous. Even after days of exploring different beautiful beaches on the island, we still found it breath-taking every afternoon after we came back. We also loved the little tropical garden in front of the house, it's a very nice 15 seconds walk before you get to the beach. You can get kayaks and paddle boards that can take you to nearby beaches. Location is absolutely A++. There are restaurants and groceries very close by and George Town is less than 10 minutes away. Since it's centrally located, it's very convenient to explore the northern and southern parts of the island, where some most famous beaches and restaurants are at.
Our host, Peter, is superb. He was more than willing to answer any of our questions and provided us a lot of information about the island. We had a lot of fun chatting with him.
Overall, this is definitely the place to stay if you're going to Exuma and we would definitely recommend it to our friends.
