About this house rental

If you’re looking for a resort, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking for real connection, total comfort, and a villa that’s as easy as it is beautiful? and recently renovated ? You’re in the right place.
Why guests return again (and again):
YES THERE ARE NO NEIGHBOURS
NO THERE IS NO CONSTRUCTION NEARBY LIKE THE REST OF TAR BAY
there is only sand to dip your toes into just steps down from the house.
• Yes, the pool is private. No shared spaces, no strangers wandering through.
• Beachfront + peaceful. Walk straight onto two miles of powder-soft sand — or kick back on the elevated deck with ocean views in three directions.
• Room for everyone. Six bedrooms (each with a bathroom!) including a separate downstairs suite for the night owls or grandparents.
• Real people, real care. Mark, Mary, and our on-island team are here for what matters — from tips on the best conch fritters to help if something goes sideways.
• Walk to the beach bar. Yep, there’s a beachfront restaurant and bar just down the sand — ideal for an easy lunch or sunset cocktails.
• Close to everything. Groceries, liquor store, gas station, boat tours, and town are all a short drive away — no long hauls or off-road adventures.
• We take care of it all. Want the fridge stocked before you arrive? Need a chef or help with meals? We’ve got you — for a very reasonable fee.

We loved our stay at this property with all the bedrooms & each having their own bathroom! The beach was very private & the most beautiful beach I have ever seen! The views were amazing from the deck. The owners were very responsive & nice. It was so helpful that Mary sent us so much info on the island before we ever arrived. We enjoyed our trip very much!

This is a great property located centrally on the island making all the amenities very close. The property itself is gorgeous with unbelievable views, great decks and lovely pool. The beach access is right there. The owners are very gracious and will do everything they can to improve and support your stay. We were there for 12 days and there wasn't a single day where we weren't doing something really fun. The house has lots of beach accessories so you don't need to bring any. Exuma is beautiful and this is a great place to experience it.

We had a great time at 1 Tar Bay. The house is beautiful and spacious. Probably the only downside was the wind and rough water which was up to mother nature, not you Mary! Thanks for a great introduction to Exuma.
