We had the most amazing stay! The house is so beautifully decorated and well appointed…the pictures are beautiful, but it’s even better in person. We worked with Judy to have groceries delivered which worked out well due to grocery hours / limited availability. Our family loved our stay so much that we booked the house for next year while we were still there!

We had an amazing week at Yumey Sands! The house is just as advertised and the view off the deck was absolutely breathtaking. As many have mentioned before, the kitchen is well stocked (even had spices, ketchup, S&P, etc already in the cupboard), the beds are very comfortable, and there was no shortage of kayaks to use for exploring. Brea's just down the beach is a great amenity as well! We had the perfect trip and would highly recommend Yumey Sands to others!

House had everything you could possibly want and was very clean! The house was beautiful and the beach was as pretty as any beach any of us had ever seen! Judy was very responsive to all of our needs and her daughter and her son came and cooked us a great meal one night! Went on a seven beaches tour with Captain Justin from Exuma Water Sports which was also wonderful! Ate at Santana's 3 days in a row and the food was great all 3 days! Ended our trip with a night at Blu on the Water and the food and service were excellent! Last year we stayed at 'that resort' north of the airport and there was no comparison, Yumy Sands was in a different league! Every amenity exceeded our expectations! When we return to Exuma we know where we will stay!

Our group of four couples spent a week at Yumey Sands Villa in March 2023. Everything about the villa was better than represented in the listing. The home was clean and stocked with every convenience we could possibly want. The kayaks, paddle board, and beach chairs were used almost every day.....except for the day we took an excursion with Robert's Island Adventures (highly recommend!). Some of our group kayaked out to the islands off shore to explore, while others relaxed on the beach or poolside. The road to the villa is quite rough....we made sure to get rental vehicles with plenty of ground clearance. As a result, the beach was NEVER crowded.....the most people we ever saw on the beach with us was 10 or so. Communication with Andy was great before the trip......and we didn't need to contact Judy (the manager) at all during our stay. Be sure to pack bug spray for the no-see-ums......they were out in full force! (typical for the Bahamas - not a house issue). The beach was perfect and the colors of the water can't be captured in words or pictures - would love to return to the Tropic of Cancer beach!

We just returned from a week at this beautiful property. Everything was perfect. The Villa has everything you could possibly need inside and out. The pool area is great for the kids with amazing ocean views. We enjoyed many beach walks - it's about 2km of perfect white sand beach. Judy the house manager had groceries pre-stocked which was such a nice way to arrive and also arranged a chef for all our dinners - all the meals were fantastic and Chef Dana was amazing! - would highly recommend. Thanks Chef Dana and Judy! We look forward to returning to this property.

The house was amazing and the owners have clearly thought of everything, including the most comfy beds ever. We ordered a groceries from Judy and also arranged a catered dinner through her, which all worked out perfectly. As described, the house is on a very quiet part of the island with only a beach bar that can be walked to. Was perfect for most, but some were a little restless with that. The no-see-ums are bad (Bahamas thing, not a house issue) so use the baby oil when they are biting. The beach and water are incredible, and even those of us that have previously stayed out of oceans ended up swimming because it was so perfectly clear.

We spent the most magical week at Yumey Sands with a group of 10 ranging from 6 to 76 years - everyone had such a wonderful vacation that we’re already planning when we can return! The house was very well appointed and has all the comforts of home. We did most of our meals at the villa and cooked ourselves and the kitchen had every utensil/gadget you could imagine. The house come with kayaks, beach umbrellas, boogie boards and sand toys for outdoor entertainment all day long. There is even a cupboard full of board games/books and video games for the kids in the evening. The beach is steps from the house and is the most beautiful clear turquoise water I have ever seen. There is even a little bar less than a five minute stroll down the beach so that you can get a fancy cocktail every afternoon - the best Bahama Mama on the island! The only drawback were the bugs (but not enough to deter us from returning!) The mosquitoes and no-seeums are relentless in the evening and no one in our group was spared. I highly recommend you wear baby oil (for the no-seeums) followed by bug spray (for the mosquitoes) or avoid going outdoors after dusk. I also recommend packing lots of snacks, especially if you have little ones, because food at the grocery store is quite expensive with limited selection. Overall this was an A+ vacation - can’t wait to return.

This is a gem of a property! Thank you for the wonderful memories!

Family reunion at the twin houses. We stayed at both the yellow and the blue homes. We cooked in some nights and also arranged had arranged local chefs to cook for our large group. Ate at Blu On The Water one night which was lovely. Judy was very helpful in every way. Would love to come back!

Yumey Sands house was amazing and is located on the nicest, prettiest, and most lowkey beach on the island. We have stayed several times in the Exumas and this house by far exceeded our expectations. The house is well appointed, and the owners have thought of everything. The kitchen has everything you'll need, including different types of coffee makers, a ice maker, a water cooler with plenty of bottled water, and so much more. Lots of comfortable space throughout the house inside and out; beds/pillows/linens are extremely comfortable. Very comfortable patio/deck furniture and lots of it. Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards, and pool toys for use. Judy the house manager responded to texts right away. Two sets of washer/dryer were great for our party of 7. Highly recommend this house and we plan on returning soon.

The home is beautiful! The beach was awesome! We kayaked to the little island you view from the house. Any issues were taken care of by Judy, the manager. Our family had the best time! Great memories! We would stay here again! Oh….and the beds are so cozy! I would recommend this place for a great family vacation.

Absolutely incredible!

Located on the best beach in Exuma! Absolutely gorgeous!

We loved our stay at Yumey Sands. When you enter you are immediately greeted with the most gorgeous water. The rooms are all en-suites and impeccably designed. There were plenty of toys and games for the kids to keep entertained as well. The outdoor pool deck is stocked with beach chairs, snorkeling masks, life jackets youth-adult, and lots of kids toys. There is an entire basket of sunscreen and plenty of towels. The house is well maintained and the pictures really don't do it justice. The only thing to watch out for is the slippery pool deck with young children and older adults. When it is wet, it is super slippery. Our communication with Judy was ok. We did hear on other reviews that sometimes her team may drop the ball so we rented a car from Thompson's directly across the street at the airport and had zero issues. We did have Judy's team order some groceries for us and they were delivered for our arrival. However, there were several items that we reported that weren't received and we were still charged for. We never did hear back from her on them. Overall, the house is amazing and a 5-star on location, value, design and cleanliness. We would highly recommend.

This property is truly amazing and the pictures don't do it justice. The view of the ocean as you walk in the front door is breathtaking. We spent 7 nights in this beachfront villa and it wasn't long enough-we can't wait to return. Judy the property manager was great with responding to our needs. Thank you for a perfect family getaway.

We loved staying at this property! Besides the food, we had everything we needed from utensils and cooking supplies, to beach towels/toys, even a basket of bug spray and sunscreen! It is a little bit of a drive from Georgetown but we rented a couple of Jeeps and really enjoyed the scenic and peaceful drive to the house! We are already planning our trip back!

We were two active families from Europe, and everyone said this was the best vacation location ever. The house and location exceeded our expectations in every way. The house has all the amenities you'd want (even twin washers and dryers) and plenty of space for everyone. Reality exceeded the pictures. We loved having a pool along with the pristine beach in the backyard. We kayaked and snorkeled out to the bay islands where we saw nurse sharks, sting rays, and tropical fish. There is so much to enjoy in, and around the house; you can explore for days. I can't recommend this property enough. It was pure paradise! We'll be back.

This was our second visit to Yumey Sands Villa and once again it was nothing short of spectacular. This property has it all. The villa itself has a fully stocked kitchen, bbq and all the beach necessities, including kayaks, chairs, towels, umbrellas, pool floats and an ice chest to take down to the beach. Each bedroom as en suite bathrooms and the beds and linens are wonderful. It is always hard to leave such a beautiful, restful vacation!

Our family of eight chose this place because of the wonderful Villa and gorgeous beach. The photos of Yumey Sands Villa are accurate, but even more amazing in person. Very spacious, tastefully decorated and appointed. The beach was absolutely gorgeous: powdery sand with no rocks/ shells to damage your feet and the most beautiful clear turquoise water. Most days the beach was totally secluded. Some days maybe a dozen or so people might be seen further south from the house. I concur with all the other reviews regarding the extensive amenities of the Villa, so will not repeat. Be sure to read all reviews. Rest assured that everything you need will be there: A drip coffee maker, a bean grinder and a Keurig. Extremely comfortable beds and pillows, luxurious linens and fluffy towels. We enjoyed two nights cooking for ourselves on the gas grill, one night at Santana's after our all day excursion with Robert's Island Adventures. One evening Chef Shariqua catered an excellent meal for us and we highly recommend her. On our last night we had a fabulous dinner at Blu on the Water ( reservations required). There, we were greeted by a professional photographer, who captured a few moments and emailed the photos the next day. We enjoyed steel drum music during the great meal and the whole crowd sang along to Margaritaville. Some even line danced through the tables also. Judy, the house manager, shopped for us for groceries and alcohol prior to arrival, which was extremely helpful since we arrived late on Sunday afternoon. We rented 2 vehicles from Judy and were promptly greeted at the airport upon arrival and escorted to the house. She also promptly replied when I texted her requesting some extra paper towels, Kleenex and detergent pods. Andy, the owner, always responded very promptly to any questions I posed prior to arrival. Once you are booked, Andy will provide you with extensive, detailed information on dining, activities etc...Yumey Sands is perfect for a family gathering or four couples. It can connect to Suma Sands next door via a gate off the deck, if a larger group wanted to gather together. If a ladies only group wanted to vacation here, I believe they could feel perfectly safe and secure. Thanks Judy for all of your assistance. Thanks Andy for a fantastic, magical vacation spot where everything came together like clock work!

Wonderful property! Clean, beautiful, has everything you need (beach towels, hair dryer, beach chairs, snorkel gear and so much more). It’s about a 45 minute drive from the airport. Make sure you stop at the grocery store before you head to the house. Khriston from Tropic Breeze restaurant catered a meal for us and it was phenomenal! We loved it so much that we’ve booked it again for next summer!

Me and my family had a wonderful time in Exuma and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Yumey Sands! The location is much more private than other parts of the beaches and the beach and view is pristine! Judy and her family were fantastic and easy to work with and really help relieve the stress and anxiety of traveling. The home was equipped with much more than we expected. There wasn’t much we needed besides some groceries and our swimsuits. My kids all loved the kayaks and there was plenty of pool gear, snorkeling gear, and some indoor board games to keep them busy! Overall I’d def Rex commend this home and we personally can’t wait to go back!

In regards to the home; stunning. There was an issue which was beyond unsettling and I would prefer to discuss with the owner directly. I believe he needs to know. My number is 580-612-6541. Lisa

Our group of 8 just returned from our second visit to Yumey Sands Villa, and it was just as wonderful as we remembered! It truly is a special place. The amenities, the furnishings, the bedding, the towels... all top notch! And you really have to see the view to believe it. We went out to lunch a couple of times, including the BBQ at Chat n Chill, but other than that we were perfectly happy to stay home, and have Sandy make us beach drinks at her bar, which is a dangerously short walk up the beach! Andy is an amazing host, and was super helpful when we had to make a few adjustments to our travel plans. We had a few days with no wind, and while the water was perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding, the bugs came out with a vengeance! But no worries, there is plenty of bug spray at the house! Overall another fantastic visit, and we can't wait to come back!

Yumey Sands was absolute perfection in every way. The house is well appointed, spacious, and comfortable. While the pictures are beautiful, they don't begin to capture the view and tranquil feel of the property. As soon as you walk in the door, you will see shades of blue from every window and it will be hard to ever leave. This house was so well stocked and they really thought of everything. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking, plus plastic wine glasses and cups for your poolside days. We placed a grocery order with Judy ahead of time, which I would highly recommend. There is a small beach bar just steps down the beach with great cocktails, hamburgers, and hot dogs but otherwise we didn't leave the property for our first several days. The outside seating was situated in the shade and was the central gathering place for morning coffee and our afternoon social time - the view is spectacular. The location is on Little Exuma, so about 30 minutes from the main town or any grocery stores. In addition to the beach bar, there are two great restaurants about a 5 minute drive away that were both delicious. We enjoyed the quiet beach and feeling removed, but if you want to do an excursion or take a water taxi to Stocking Island for the day, getting around the island is very easy. The property owner was kind and quick to respond to any questions. We had such a memorable time that we decided to book again next year!

We rented the blue house in July and now the yellow house. Both are amazing! We plan to make many more trips to these beautiful houses.

Yumey Sands is a very comfortable, well appointed, very relaxing property. Definitely a “dream home away from home”. It had everything we needed, and more! We hated leaving, but absolutely plan on coming back! As always, the property manager; Judy and her team made sure all our needs (groceries, alcohol, rental car, jet-ski rental) were taken care of. Loved the mid-week “refresh” of the villa! Being directly on Tropic of Cancer Beach never disappoints either!

The house was well equipped and exactly as described. Beach and outdoor areas were beautiful. Communication before and during our stay was always quick and very helpful. It was helpful for our group to take advantage of some of the extras the host offered - pre arrival grocery shopping, excursion coordination, and rental car. Overall a great house and a great experience.
