About this house rental

The Mandarin is a private waterfront retreat in Hartswell, Great Exuma, with breathtaking views of Moriah Cay and its protected National Park. From your own dock, you can set out each day to discover pristine sandbars, secluded beaches, and calm turquoise waters.

This spacious home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 10 adults and a baby. A pool overlooking the ocean, a large yard, and an outdoor bar with a Hibachi grill make it perfect for family gatherings or relaxed evenings. The house is fully air-conditioned, equipped with modern amenities, and powered in part by solar energy with natural filtered rainwater. A backup generator ensures peace of mind during island power outages.

Moriah Cay—famous for its untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters—is less than 500 yards from your door. Two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards are included, giving you the freedom to explore nearby islands, fishing flats, and hidden coves. For more adventures, boat rentals can be arranged to Stocking Island, Elizabeth Harbour, or Sandy Cay.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac away from the Queen’s Highway, The Mandarin offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Within minutes, you can reach local attractions, dining, and the natural wonders of Exuma, and in just 20 minutes you’ll be in the heart of George Town.

The Mandarin is family-friendly, and designed for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and the magic of Exuma right at their doorstep.

We have just ended a glorious seven-day stay at the Mandarin House. From beginning to end, Monica was accommodating and flexible. We had to change our reservation, not once, but twice, and she was so patient with us!The house is divided into three separate buildings. The main house has a living room, dining room, kitchen (SO well-stocked - there is even a full drawer of spices and seasonings), laundry room, half bath, and a large master suite. Huge windows allow you a constant view of the beautiful turquoise water. The second building houses another king bedroom, a “bunk room”, a bath, another kitchen with hibachi-style grill, and a pool bath with shower. The third space is a cute studio with bedroom and bath. The buildings are all connected by decks, many of them covered. All of this allowed plenty of spaces for our family of 8 to congregate, as well as plenty of space to spread out for a little quiet time. The pool is lovely and is maintained throughout the week by a pool crew (we saw them at least twice. There is a huge abundance of pool floats, as well as life jackets, beach towels, and snorkeling gear. We enjoyed the dock, the kayaks and paddle boards almost daily.On the other side of things, we did have a couple of issues with water, but they were taken care of quickly and with little interruptions in our activities. We all agreed that the mattresses were the hardest EVER! Some areas could use a few updates, but all-in-all, this house was perfect for our crew!

Beautiful location and the access for a dock with calm water is amazing!!! House is clean! Not brand new but has charm and great function! Communication and needs were met wonderfully!

We loved our stay! The outdoor area with the pool made a huge difference. Monica was so helpful with ensuring that we had groceries at the house when we arrived. We had such a good time we booked it again for next year!

Our stay was fantastic. The pool was great, and there are lots of pool toys/floats and items to use. The waterfront is amazing. We swam off the dock, and took the kayaks over to the sand bars. Kitchen well stocked. Lots of beach towels and a nice big laundry room that is stocked with left over sunscreen/bug spray/etc.
