Reviews
The views were unbelievable!
Bougainvillea House Villa is spacious with plenty of room to host large groups and is located a few steps away from the ocean. The rooftop deck is a perfect location for breakfast. Surrounded by tall palm trees and large shell decorations on the railing, the setting is picture-perfect. The villa has all the necessities for entertainment. A hot tub, a BBQ, large kitchens, open living spaces and reclining chairs on the beach. There are billion dollar views from the hammocks and balcony areas. During my trip I went swimming with the pigs, swam with nurse shark, fed iguanas and spent plenty of time out on the water. Make sure to try the ribs at Chat n Chill during your trip! This was such a memorable vacation and I can't wait to go back to the Bahamas! ”
Fabulous family Vacation!
We had a great trip to this House. The House, it's Beach and its amenities were so nice, a family could just stay there and not venture on the Island. With 9 of us, we made 2 day trips which were fantastic we highly recommend Exuma water sports tour. Everything we needed from snorkel masks and inflatables , kayaks to monopoly where there . The water and the beaches are breathtaking! We spend quite a bit on the taxis renting a car is our recommendation. Our ONLY complaint was mosquito bites were a problem any repellent took effect and could not be outside if you were not in the water tried everything including fires but nothing stopped them our recommendation is to take a vitamin to stop them one week before the trip as we got over 300 mosquito bite on a person. The house itself was very comfortable and roomy with all amenities inside and out and a fabulous rooftop view. The people on the island are some of the friendliest I have ever encountered. Don’t miss Chat n Chill Bar at Stocking Island best ribs !! A recommended visit for sure! Octubre 2015”
GREAT EXUMA - BOUGAINVILLEA HOUSE VILLA
We had a great trip to this House the week of August 9th, 2015. The House, Island, Beaches and Chef were fantastic. The House, it's Beach and its amenities were so nice, a family could just stay there and not venture on the Island. With 9 of us, we made a number of day trips which were fantastic. Don't miss the Tropic of Cancer beach, the Pigs, Sharks and Iguanas. Overall a winner. The Gilroy s August 2015”
Fabulous house, fabulous holiday
We loved the house and the location. Exuma is so laid back. Got to know some locals, travelled around the island and the seas. The house is perfect - despite the endless sunshine we abandoned the A/C and went old school with fans and the ample verandahs for cooling. So many places to sit and read, watch the sea, call to the kids to come in from the waves for food. The housekeeper did a great job and the only slight maintenance issue was resolved straight away. We enjoyed boat trips, scuba diving and a bit of local history (fascinating stuff on slave revolutions and a very traditional life until quite recently). It was easy to buy food to cook or take away. We didn't try any restaurants in the end but only because I couldn't persuade my teenagers to leave the perfectly equipped house (everything we needed from snorkel masks and inflatables to monopoly and jigsaws... and that rare thing in a holiday home, an ample supply of glasses, crockery and cutlery). Highly recommended ”
Loved Exuma
We loved the adventures we had for the week in Exuma. We took 2 boat tours as recommended by the owner and they were both fabulous! We visited different beaches, snorkeled in a cave, swam with turtles and pigs, kayaked at the house, and had an overall fantastic time. The water and the beaches are breathtaking! We drove quite a bit on the only paved road on the island, it took 45 mins to get to one of our beach destinations in Little Exuma, but it was not a big deal since we were all adults. I would not recommend taking small children unless you planned to stay at the house everyday; the beaches have no shade or lounge chairs so all supplies need to be carted wherever you go. There are very few restaurants nearby but the ones we experienced were good. We cooked in for all breakfasts and a couple of dinners. My ONLY complaint was a housekeeping issue in the kitchen….I had to clean every single utensil, pan, cup, appliance etc. before using as there was something dirty on everything. The cabinets had a few spices in them that were extremely outdated and needed discarding. The house itself was very comfortable and roomy with all amenities inside and out and a fabulous rooftop view. The people on the island are some of the friendliest I have ever encountered. A recommended visit for sure!”
amazing trip!
from the exciting moment we walked in till the (sad) moment we had to leave, the Bougainvillea Home is so much more than one could ever have imagined..the setting is A+, and the home is perfectly laid out for entertaining or just hanging out...would recommend this' 3rd home' to everyone wishing to have one of the best vacations ever”
Sammy Citrano Owner Destin Florida
Bougainvillea House was evey thing we dreamed of and more. Location, size, cleaniness, great owners, all the bells and whistles. Very relaxing place to vacation, great bedding, a/c , great Kitchen, close to airport, the prettiest water anywhere. I would go back tomorrow if I could. Scott and Karla, the owners, are true hosts.”
