About this property

Want to stay DIRECTLY on the #1 Rated beach on Exuma?? Then enjoy Hoopers Bay which is:-
Protected, with calm sea and great for all ages.
Peaceful, with only a few private houses.
Perfect, crescent shaped bay.
Our spacious, "on the beach" property is located on the best position at Hoopers Bay, which is regarded as the best beach to stay on in Exuma and the only beach with resident GREEN TURTLES to watch, kayak or swim with.
The 3 bedroom apartment (each with their own en-suite bathroom ) have King, Queen and Twin beds which makes it ideal for a family. The King and Queen bedrooms are sea-facing with large sliding glass doors for wonderful views of the beach and also leads to the spacious sundeck with tables and chairs for relaxing or meals.
The calm Hoopers Bay is protected from the prevailing winds so the sea is safe for all age groups as the soft sandy 1/2 mile long beach slopes gently into the water. Besides a few private properties in the area, the beach is undisturbed and peaceful.
Our 1.4 acre tropical garden with palms & coconut trees surrounds Sandy Palms & leads directly onto the beach so in a few seconds you can be there. We have kayaks FREE for our guests to use together with beach chairs & loungers.

Excellent beach Access!

We enjoyed our stay very much!! We appreciated having the kayaks and air mattresses to use. Petrer was helpful and we were grateful for the arrangement of the taxi service to and from the airport. The sea turtles that we observed daily were amazing!!

Sandy Palms is the perfect vacation home.

Sandy Palms is the ideal vacation home for a family. It sits right on beautiful Hoopers Bay. We swam with sea turtles everyday in the crystal clear water. Hoopers Bay is one of the best beaches on the island. Peter and Betty could not have been better hosts making out stay completely relaxed. They also have a car and van for rent which was so convenient. Our family gives Sandy Palms 5 stars!!!!

amazing property, beach is perfect!

Peter was an amazing host, gave us a tour of the house and the local spots on arrival. Everything was clean and there was a full kitchen to cook dinners. The beach is perfect, very private. We saw turtles and fish and took the kayaks out daily! It was extremely safe and welcoming. Three beds with their own bathrooms was a great feature! Location: The location is great in terms of access to a grocery store, there are two small spots within 3-5 minutes driving, one in Georgetown which has more variety is about 5-10 minutes drive. Other than that access to restaurants and bars is tough due to the local culture of "open when we feel like it." However we made dinner at home every night and when your sitting out on the deck overlooking the beach it is much better than being at an expensive restaurant! The house, owners and beach are incredible and we would highly recommend if your looking for a relaxing, beach vacation with no plans or need for lots of activities/bar and restaurant scene.

Fantastic!!!...clean, well furnished and in the perfect on-the-beach location!!!!

Our hosts, the Oxleys, couldn't have been more determined that our stay be special! They arranged transportation from and to the airport, bought some starter kitchen supplies, rented us a small van at a very fair price, and set us up with tours that were affordable. His suggestions for meals out and special places to see were spot on. Although no phone contact, Peter and Betty were always at the other end of an email, and responded almost immediately to any questions or concerns. There was plenty of warm water for showers, more than ample towels and a kitchen with all the basics and more. There was good TV programming, although we rarely turned it on. The air conditioning was two-zone and terrific. I told the Oxleys that the photos on their website don't do their place justice....we even spent some time taking pictures and sharing the results with them. The island is not 5-star glitz, but that was the furthest thing from what we wanted....we wanted to be travelers, not tourists. Thanks to great hosts, large and comfortable house and the BEST location, our week was a special one we'll never forget. Thank you Betty and Peter!! P.S. I've done a lot of traveling and Exuma has, as a group, the friendliest people I can remember. Life is simpler there and a great relief from our crazy normal lifestyles.

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Betty Oxley

Betty & Peter have lived on Exuma since 1999 after moving from England. They owned & personally operated the #1 Guest House in the Bahamas and then purchased Sandy Palms to offer guests the opportunity of staying on what is regarded as the best beach on Exuma.

Why they chose this property

Guests love the DIRECT BEACH location as well as the convenience of being near to shops and George Town.
They have arranged with activity providers for trips to see the Exuma Cays and swimming pigs to collect their guests directly from Sandy Palms
The international airport is also just a 12 minute ride away

What makes this property unique

On the best beach in Exuma and ideal & safe for all ages!!

The shallow water with a patch of seagrass has resident green turtles which are fascinating to watch.
