As you can see from the photographs the house is beautiful and perfectly arranged for a group of friends or a large family. What you can't tell from the photographs is how gracious and helpful the owner is. Stephanie went over and above the efforts I have typically encountered to answer questions and make our stay great. Beauren, the local contact for maintenance and similar issues was also extremely attentive and helpful with issues such as power and water disruption caused by events which were beyond anyone's control, but come with life an an island. The location of Shades of Blue is great. It is close enough to Georgetown for grocery shopping, dining and drinks at Sharie's, but far enough way to not have to deal with driving around the circle of George Town every day. It is also conveniently located near Santana's Grill and Mama's bakery next door. The pool and deck area at Shades of Blue is excellent for hanging out and admiring the unbelievable color of the ocean. The house is aptly named for the colors of the water. I highly recommend that you reserve this house and experience it for yourself.

Oh my goodness where do I start! This vacation was perfect. The house is amazing, the view is perfection. Highly recommend Chef Paul, his steak, lobster, shrimp, fettuccine and all the appetizers and desserts were wonderful. We used Pinkladysdelights for our arrival, she made the best conch fritters, spinach dip, shrimp, charcuterie board, and POTATO BALLS! We had plenty of leftovers for the next day. We took a trip out to the pigs, iguanas and the island bar, definitely worth it! We ate at Santana’s twice for lunch and it was the best grouper sandwich and platters. We used the concierge that Stephanie suggested and she had our groceries stocked when we got there and she scheduled our adventure, chef and our van for ten people. Everyone was so helpful if we had any questions. It was definitely a trip come true for me. Everything I wanted.

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!

We came here for our first trip to the island with a crew of 14 aged 4-74. The house was perfect for us. Bedrooms stayed quiet even when others were up and about. Pool/hottub is great for littles while sunbathing deck and ocean kept the teens and adults happy. Nothing too precious for the really small kids to ruin. So many towels are provided and the dryer works well so you can keep them all dry.
The self starter on the grill doesn’t work, and the ice machine gave out on us for a day or two but if we unplugged and replugged a few times, it started working again. Beauren was very responsive to our questions.
They don’t keep any oil or spices, tinfoil or much Tupperware around, so make sure to bring or buy for longer stays.
Astoundingly beautiful place!

The house is very nice and well kept. The view of the turquoise ocean from anywhere you are standing is amazing! The drive from the airport or to get to anywhere is no less than 40 minutes, so get your groceries first. You do NOT want your view/time to be overgrown trees and pot holes trying to get back to town for more supplies.
A case of beer ~$50. A box of Kraft Mac/Chez ranges from $2 to $5 so check their shelves for Best Buy. Absolutely no consistency in pricing of identical item and confirm total at the end of every transaction is correct. Like really?? Let’s add that again.
We rented a pontoon 3 days, but high wind did not allow the 3rd day. Enjoyed the boat ride and beachside restaurants.
Honestly, if you plan on spending quality time at the house with family or friends this place is perfect. Don’t plan on watching any tv! Host sent us help but it just wasn’t meant to be, so my late night chill down time in front of Netflix was not possible. Last two things, but most important- bring bug spray or baby oil or whatever is needed to defend against sand fleas!! AND the master suite has an outdoor shower and it was awesome.

We loved our stay! Seeing and hearing the ocean every morning from ALL the bedrooms was a huge plus. The beach below the house was perfect for days we didn’t want to venture out.
Loved all the family memories we made!

Wonderful time with friends and family. The waters are breathtaking and peaceful. The waves were strong and steady. The island was beautiful and the residents were helpful. We will be back again to stay for more than 7 days in the future.

Beautiful house with beautiful views. Very large with so much room for 17 people. Great kitchen, amazing pool and hot tub over looking the beach/ocean. The private pool house is super cool, the views of the ocean as you walk through every room are stunning. Stephanie (host) was great, they took care of everything we needed faster then expected. House has everything you need. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so much!

We just had a wonderful stay at Shades of Blue. We brought 15 of our closest friends to celebrate my husbands 50th birthday. The property was absolutely perfect!! Amazing views from every room!! It was exactly what I envisioned!!!

Overall the property is very well kept. We came as a large extended family of 10 with ages 9 through 83. Plenty of bedrooms and beds for everyone to enjoy down time.
Kitchen is large and we cooked in every night. Plenty of seating for all. Family room is very comfortable. We also rented the pool house. I highly recommend staying there.
We had a couple of items and property manager came right out to take care of it all. We had a wonderful time!

This house and location was perfectly amazing! We had our wedding on the pool patio overlooking the pristine waters for the best photos! We had all of the luxuries of home and can’t say enough about our time here! We had 12 adults staying in the home and another 16 in the home right next door for our wedding for a total of 28. We loved the beautiful beachfront and hiked a short way down to the left to a small cove where the water was like glass and there were reefs for snorkeling. We had a blast on the kayaks, in the pool and hot tub, and you will be challenged to find a better view! 💙

We travel frequently. Mostly opting toward 5-star resorts & luxury hotels. This place, hands down, was, by far, our favorite spot we’ve ever visited. The home itself exceeded our expectations in all ways. The vibe is surreal, zen. The owner & staff were nothing short of amazing. Communication, amenities, recommendations & service were on point. Posted on the most beautiful part of the Caribbean I’ve ever visited. The layout of the home itself was perfect. The bonus room upstairs was awesome. The beds were so comfortable. In fact we both said we felt we slept better here than we do in our own bed. Everything from towels, to bedding to blankets that were provided were high quality. I work remote & the wi-fi was amazing! Tranquil VIEWS from every window that take your breath away. From the moment you enter the front door. There’s nothing we could compare this to. We’ve been to Turks, Greece, bora-bora. This just hit different. Sunrises, sunsets & everything in between were breathtaking. The guest quarters felt exclusive. This place would be fantastic for larger parties. Pool/spa=amazing. The private beach was great! The in-person experience was better than anticipated. The local spots were so chill & the islanders are great. We paid for a fishing excursion with the owner & caught Durado, Wahoo & a tuna. Best fish we’ve ever had. We cooked some there and brought the rest home. There’s cool beach bars and stop offs. Once in a lifetime experience…

This was my first time in Exuma and it did not disappoint. We landed at the airport and made our way to the property to be pleasantly surprised by the beautiful location. The pictures online do not show the true beauty of shades of blue. The views were breathtaking. The house was immaculate with attention to detail in bedding/linens/furnishings and so comfortable.
I am not sure why some of the reviews state their is not a beach… the beach was beautiful and private. Sometimes the beach was bigger based on tide, but that is expected.
We were a little nervous about traveling to a new location, but the locals were amazing and we felt so safe- we dropped our wallet with lots of cash in it and returned 30 minutes later to a nice man who said “I found this and waited for you to return” ! We made a few friends at the fish fry and around town at the local bars/restaurants and can’t wait to come see our new found friends in the near future. We travel often and this was by far our best vacation, from the food, to the locals, and the beautiful home.
We can’t wait to come back to
Shades of Blue with the rest of our family.

We stayed for one week with 10 adults and 1 toddler. The home was clean, beautiful, in a picturesque location, and had a lot of amenities. Communication with owner when necessary was prompt and helpful. We would definitely book again!

We enjoyed our stay very much at Shades of Blue! We had 3 families on spring break and the home had more than enough space for both adults and teenagers. The communication with the owner & staff was excellent. The owner sent a list of recommendations that all turned out to be great. We rented a private boat, an excursion boat with Robert's, and 2 private chefs that were all a lot of fun! We would definitely go back and stay again!

This was by far the most amazing place we ever stayed!! Exuma is such a safe and beautiful place! We’ve traveled all over the world and this is it! Shades of blue beyond met our expectations….absolutely beautiful home and the view is unmatched. Our host Stephanie was absolutely amazing and so helpful which is so hard to find. Probably one of the best places we have ever stayed and it will for sure be our go to place when we come back to Exuma which we have already started planning to do! I would recommend this house to anyone and give it 20 out of 10 stars…..thanks again for your your beautiful home!

Beautiful house and location - no beach
We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful spacious clean property. The pool and hot tub were great and the view was outstanding. The reverse osmosis tap water and stand alone ice maker was superb as typically we would have to buy lots of bottled water. The bedroom configuration and size of kitchen was perfect for our group of 9 adults and 6 teens/tweens. Our only complaint was the lack of beach and lack of water access over the rocks. This prevented several members of my family from being able to go in the ocean behind the house. This was a major disappointment as it was a big selling point for renting this property. There was no beach at low or high tide. There are several large rocks hidden in the wave break making it precarious to enter the water even for those who are physically fit.
We visited nearby beaches - our favorite is Pretty Molly. We took a 7 hour boat tour of the Georgetown harbor with Captain AJ. It was phenomenal - with visit to Rolletown sandbar, starfish beach, Chat & Chill, Mariah harbor reefs, and lazy River. We also had an amazing chef cook & deliver dinner to us each night. Hire Chef Jaquille from Exuma Yatch Club & Restaurant in Georgetown. You won’t be disappointed.

Homeowners and property manager were great to work with. We were 11 of us and the house fit us all well. Views were amazing from every room. We loved that the hot tub heated quickly and the two fridges and ice maker were great to have. We had groceries pre stocked at the house. We had an amazing trip! Rented a boat at Minns, explored beaches, hit all the recommended spots.

Pro’s Property was very nice, view was amazing, pool/hot tub terrific. Beach gorgeous. Had local Chef prepare a meal for the group at the house, terrific, had local shopper purchase food for the house, great job.
Con’s- Location is 45 minutes from town…no water pressure in any of the upstairs Bath rooms, all 12 guests used the outdoor shower off the downstairs master. Lights in master flash on/off …they will not stay on….no storage containers in kitchen, for any leftovers. Lack of beach towels, the slide open doors, we couldn’t use because of high winds, so had to use front door….very inconvenient, maybe change to sliders so that area can be used.

The absolute perfect location. The water and beaches were the most amazing I have seen. It’s secluded location provided a great spot to spend time with friends. The locals were very friendly and great food/drinks were easy to find on the island. Many opportunities for fishing, kayaking, snorkeling, etc. Would highly recommend spending time at this VRBO.

Shades of Blue was amazing. We truly enjoyed our stay. Car rental is essential since town is 20 minutes away. You CANNOT beat this view. Every bedroom has a postcard view. We rented this for my wife’s 40th, the perfect place to vacation with friends. The owner recommended Judy to cater our dinners and we were so thankful for the helping hands - It made it feel like an extra special experience. We also had them cook breakfast a couple times since the grocery store is kinda far and a little expensive. The day trip to see the swimming pigs on Staniel Cay is absolutely worth it. Santana’s restaurant is right down the street from the house and has amazing food. We also spent a day drinking rum punch on the beach at Chat n’ Chill. You will not regret staying at this slice of heaven in paradise.

Could not have had a better experience at Shades of Blue.
