We have made many trips to Exuma but the accommodation and spectacular views from Harbour View far exceed any other property we have stayed at. The hosts were most helpful without being intrusive, and the nearby deserted islands are amazing. We will return.

This is it! The PERFECT Bahama vacation! We have been visiting the out islands, and bonefishing, for the past 15 years and have never experienced such an ideal location. Moriah Harbour has it all – scenery, solitude, and beautiful white sand beaches. Opportunities to swim, kayak, and bonefish abound. Numerous tailing bones are on the… Read more “Look no further.”

We rented this beach cottage not only because it was a cute little cottage but because it had a private kayak for two at its disposal; we could walk over to the harbour, jump into our kayak and peddle to one of the many deserted/private islands across the bay to have a picknick brunch… the… Read more “Intimate Beach Cottage”

My husband and I rented this house for one week while vacationing in Exuma. I was hesitant at first to rent a house but we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We chose to rent “Harbour View” from Don and Gail because of the incredible value and the access to the bonefish flats. They are right off the balcony!! I was able to fish while my girlfriend tanned. We had an excellent time, and Gail and Don were instrumental in making the stay most-memorable. They would… Read more “Fantastic setting with Direct access to Bonefish flats”

This was a vacation to remember. The island has so many beautiful beaches with soft white sand and warm waters.

Wanted a place to get away from it all. Turned off our cell phones, ignored the internet and immersed ourselves in the quiet beauty of Exuma.

Don’t expect casinos, cruise ships, starbucks, nightlife etc…if that’s what you’re after, best to go elsewhere. Harbourview is a really nice spot with wonderful views of close cays – you will need to rent… Read more “How IT Should Be”
