Sugar Beach Villa

My husband and I were sitting in a bar in Key West when we booked SBV. We were looking for a destination for our kids’ fall break. We never expected the beautiful experience that we were about to embark on at SBV! From the time we booked, there was consistent communication and assistance with anything we needed along the way. Someone was always available! SBV is an expansive beachfront property with immaculate amenities. The online photos don’t do it justice. The owner puts great thought and her own personal touch into the design and decor. The property manager helped us get with so many things and also was the most fabulous cook (along with her aunt) for our family. We rented the boat, used the kayaks, basked in the sun at the beach and the pool. SBV offered the ultimate relaxing experience. It is absolutely beautiful and the people that surround it create the most unimaginable experience! We left SBV with memories we will always cherish and new friends that we hope will continue to be a part of our lives forever!

We stayed at Sugar Beach Villa last week, and this place is seemingly dropped from the heavens onto a tropical beachfront paradise. A family compound of sorts - 5 structures on several acres of beachfront property on Little Exuma. We had 11 in our party and this was the perfect spot for our family reunion. Wooden bridges meander through the property connecting all off the houses, and sandy pathways guide you through the Bahamian jungle to two beachfront pergolas, with stairways down to your own private beach - 300 feet of it! This rental comes with everything, and ensuring this is a property manager/concierge just off-site named Kim. She was incredibly attentive and helpful. Available 24x7 on WhatsApp, she responded to any request or issue within seconds. Like having 5-star resort service with your own private rental. She set this place apart from other rentals we’ve stayed in. Staying at Sugar Beach was a unique and unforgettable experience.

We booked Sugar Beach Villa as an anniversary trip with some friends. While the house is located in a remote area on Little Exuma, it is worth the time it takes to get there. The solitude, the views, the property are all gorgeous! The way the home is spread out, all 3 couples had the privacy you would want for a trip like this. We planned to have her cook 3 meals for us while there, but we loved her food so much that we added lunch and pina coladas one day. I am gluten free, and she went above and beyond to make sure I had amazing meals even when cooking items I couldn’t eat for the rest of the group. Hire Kim to cook all your meals and don’t leave the gorgeous property. You won’t regret it! Everything about our trip was wonderful! I highly recommend Sugar Beach Villa!

Kim is basically who keeps this house running smoothly and can and will get you anything you need and want during your visit.

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and wow. This place is as incredible as the photos show! The place is huge and can hold all kinds of family and friends if you make it a large gathering. We got conch fritters from Club Arawak and they were INSANELY good! It was right down the road. The only downside is the roads that are filled with basically craters. But that didn’t keep us from booking the place as we knew before hand! We booked our own car through Exuma Connect and it was a breeze. They met us at the airport. Make sure you stop and get everything you need from the grocery store beforehand cause that is not an easy trip for butter forgotten! We enjoyed the complete privacy at the pool and the hot tub was so hot and perfect! There’s a large speaker in the main house that sounds SO good and gets so loud to enjoy being by the pool or ocean. Our main goal was to just spend time with each other and enjoy the intimacy of each other and the ocean and this house did not disappoint at all. We found a gorgeous stone in the ocean that I plan on making into a bolo tie that my husband and I can share between us to always remember what an amazing trip this was. The last day we realized scorpions were around and saw a baby one so make sure you wear shoes on your walk too and from the beach Kim was helpful for any questions we had! The sheets and bed were so soft too 20/10. Will never forget this stunning place or memories made there

This property is truly special and one of a kind. It was perfect for our family, with tons of privacy when needed, and a variety of communal spaces. The beach and water was beyond stunning and pristine - it didn't seem real! Kim was amazing, cooking for us most nights (there's not a ton of things close by, so good to prepare food and chefs in advance). Overall a wonderful stay.

This was perfect for our group. Plenty of room for us to be together in the main house for time together but plenty of room for us to spread out and have our own downtime as well. The water and beach were perfect! The older kids and adults spent plenty of time in the water swimming, kayaking, and snorkeling nearby. The water was gentle enough for us to wade in with a 7-month-old and the 6-year-old loved splashing in the waves. Kim cooked us several fabulous meals! Even some of my picky eaters were raving about the food. I highly recommend the lobster and BBQ ribs and chicken. If we needed anything during our stay, she took care of it. Lucky , the property dog, was everyone's favorite.

Mixed feelings about stay.The cottage building smelled of smoke and was uninhabitable for several guests. Later found an empty cigarette pack nearby. Water was not available twice during the stay for a total of about 16 hours, first due to faulty pump equipment, then due to a toilet flapper (connected via a thin string) left in open position. I learned later that a similar event happened to another guest, confirming that the owner knew of this and did not repair the pump. Several things did not work: a garbage disposal, ceiling fan, and a dishwasher, for example. Kayaks were on site with insufficient number of paddles and no life vests. The site advertised an outdoor gym on premises which was a lie: no gym existed. In general, the property is in the early stages of disrepair and has not had sufficient maintenance and attention. With all these issues, there was no offer from the owner to refund money (I didn't ask, but a refund of perhaps a day's rental should have been offered).Conversely, the owner was very timely to my complaints of no water and took quick actions to rectify including providing a water truck to refill the tank and bringing bottled water. The location of the property was magnificent. Finally, two people "came with" the property: Kim and Alex who were beyond attentive and helpful.In sum, the villa was worth about 2/3 of the actual cost. I wouldn't return. Kim and Alex saved the stay.
