If there is a nicer place to stay on Exhuma, I don’t know what it could possibly be. The house is absolutely spectacular, no detail has been overlooked. The pool is fantastic and is right on a beautiful white-sand beach. Our family spent time on paddle boards and kayaks and spent nights on the Wii and many indoor games. The owners have provided cornhole, spike ball, and all kinds of amenities to ensure a delightful family vacation. They are responsive and offer detailed suggestions to make your stay spectacular. It is without hesitation that we recommend Savage Sands and can’t wait for our next trip back.
Everything about Savage Sands is perfect - the location, the amenities, the communication, the view. I highly recommend this house to anyone looking for incredible beach front property in Exuma.
We cannot put into words how much we loved our stay at Savage Sands! The house is perfectly located and the view is mesmerizing! The hosts were accessible for questions and provided a wealth of information, which made our stay a breeze! We were so sad to leave, but we will definitely be back! The house is paradise in paradise!!!
The home was immaculate, beautiful views, easy access to great beach. Plenty of spices for cooking. Plenty of room, only drawback was lots of stairs for elderly visitors to navigate. Would recommend highly.
Savage sands is an amazing beach house. From the stunning views of the ocean to the intriguing architecture, the house offers everything one would need. The property manager was very responsive and helpful. The house was well equipped with everything from kitchen amenities to laundry detergent. The house was impeccably clean upon arrival. The beach was steps away and we enjoyed multiple sunrises and sunset walks. The heated pool was a plus on some overcast cooler days.
Location was ideal, 10 mins away from the airport and Georgetown. Wi-Fi worked perfectly and we had no issues.
I would never think of staying anywhere else if we return to Exuma.
Amazing home on Tar Bay !! Everything was perfect.
We were greeted at the airport with a short drive to the home .
From the view of the ocean water and the beautiful pool and amazing home . This is by far the best house on the island !! The only thing we regret was not staying longer.
Thank you Stephanie for letting us stay at your beautiful home . We will be back !!!
The house was great. The location was outstanding and having the pool was perfect. It was well stocked with everything you need. I would recommend staying at Savage Sands.
My family (two adults and and two teenagers) stayed here in July 2024 to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. I could never put into words how perfect our stay at Savage Sands was. The property is breathtaking and even more beautiful than the pictures. The location is perfect, right around the middle of the island. The home is so thoughtfully furnished and stocked--the Savages have thought of everything to make their guests' stay comfortable. Shawn, the property manager, was super friendly and there when we needed him. Stephanie was a great communicator and sincerely seemed excited for our stay -- by the end, I felt like we were staying at the home of friends, which made it even more special. I recommend Savage Sands without hesitation--you will not regret it!
Great property and it has everything you will need. Property manager Shawn is on point and very responsive, as well as the owners. Water in Exuma is awesome!!
Our family of five (two adults, three kids 16, 13, 8) just returned from Exuma and stayed at Savage Sands. We all agreed it was the best vacation we have ever taken and the house was the main reason why. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out, fun pool, volleyball court, outdoor seating everywhere, speakers, and of course a beautiful beach right out the back door.
Stephanie was a big help leading up to the trip (and during) answering our many questions and Shawn was very helpful meeting us at the airport and answering questions throughout our stay.
When we were on the island, we drove from one end to the other and we all determined the location of Savage Sands was perfect and couldn’t imagine staying in any other location. It was close to airport, grocery, Georgetown, and equal distance from both ends of the island. It was also on very well paved portion of the road.
We appreciate our trip to this house and think everyone else considering staying here should as well. It’s not often a house makes such a big impact on a vacation, but this one absolutely did.
Amazing location and the house is spectacular! We hired a private butler service with Nicole and Treco Rose which made for a beyond amazing experience.
It could not have been more perfect.
The moment you open the door to this beautiful property you will know you made the right decision by booking this property. The views are amazing and we really enjoyed the sunrises. It is a great place for a family vacation, and has something to keep all ages entertained when you are in the house. The Savages have thought of every possible amenity to make your stay comfortable. We also liked the location of this property because it was just a short drive to the airport and grocery stores. The Savages are great to work with, every question we had was promptly answered. We are truly grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy such a beautiful place. It was part of the total island experience that our family labeled as magical.
Once we arrived at Savage Sands we were mesmerized by the beauty of the house and property. It supersedes the photos in the listing by far!
Where do I start?
The house itself - perfectly appointed.
The staff - amazing, attentive, great communication.
The host - beyond helpful and communicative.
The house is fully stocked with everything you could need for a perfect vacation: clean towels, linens, cutlery, glasses, keurig, games, cooler, flatware, beach toys, surfboards etc.
The host obviously thought of each and every thing a guest would need.
The view - SPECTACULAR.
Stephanie and her team were probably the best hosts we have ever had through VRBO. Always had great suggestions and very quick to reply. The home has the most amazing views and is very well stocked! Pool floats, SUP, kayaks, lounge chairs, blender, insulated cups...everything you need inside and out! Great location on Tar Bay and centrally located for an easy drive south or north. Would HIGHLY recommend Savage Sands!
Savage Sands is one outstanding home! The owners have thought of absolutely everything. The home is perfectly equipped with every detail needed to enjoy the kitchen, living rooms and outdoor activities. It’s truly flawless and is one of the nicest homes with the best views and beach on Exuma. Thank you!!
Savage Sands is an amazingly gorgeous, well maintained and well situated residence. The house is modern and well stocked. The pool is beautiful and pool/beach toys plentiful. The house was large enough to accommodate the 8 adults in our group. The host and property manager were very communicative and all our questions and needs were met with quick responses.
But nothing bets the view! Incredible ocean and sandy beach. I would definitely stay at Savage Sands again.
My family and I just returned home from our 5 night stay at Savage Sands. The property is beautiful; the Savages really did think of every detail with this house. The kitchen is equipt with everything you need; it was a nice perk to also have a spice cabinet stocked with items we didn't order in advance. The location is ideal; the stretch of beach the home is located on is perfect. The infinity pool is perfect! I HIGHLY reccomend this home for your family. It was also a nice perk having the front closet equipt with extra sunscreen, a first aid kit, etc. The upstairs included some fun board games and puzzles. Bedrooms are really nice with comfirtable beds and bathrooms well appointed.
The house is about 10 minutes from town where the grocery store and flea market are. This was our forst trip to Exuma; some suggestions: there are decent restaurants but have a plan for dinner and preferably a reservation. I also suggest pre-ordering groceries from Exuma Market; it makes things much easier upon arrival. I can't say enough good things about the house. It was only 5-10 minutes from the airport. Communication with the owner was excellent; Stephanie provided me with all the info I needed and Shawn (property manager) was very nice and showed my family around the home upon arrival.
We had a great time staying here with our family. It is just what we needed to recharge! We have a few hiccup but nothing that Shawn and the rest of the crew didn't address right away! Our boys loved the pool and it's so nice to be right on the beach! We have stayed and quite a few vrbo's and I have to say that this one was stocked the best! The kitchen had everything we needed and lots of options. We brought our own cooler of meats with us so we cooked at the house a lot and everything worked great! Would definitely stay here again if we decide to come back to George Town!
We planned this as our summer vacation with family. From the start when we booked the place till we left, everything went so smooth. Listing is way better than what it looks on line. Stephanie is amazing and very responsive. Shawn picked us up at airport and oriented us to everything.
Our stay was amazing. Beautiful place and view and so quiet and relaxing. Can’t say enough. Will be back .
An incredible vacation in this AMAZING house! The views were fabulous, even better than expected. We often had the beach to ourselves and other time see only a handful of people in either direction! They have everything you could think of for entertaining a family on property if you choose to not go out. The location was great to get to airport, boat rentals, groceries etc. We can’t wait to come back!
This place is the best place in the Bahamas and I would stay here again the next time I return. Here’s why:
- everything very clean (spotless)
- everything worked!
- Shawn the property manager was on call in case any problems (there were none).
- so modern, so elegant, so much elbow room.
- wide-spanning beautiful white sand beach with electric blue crystal clear water literally right outside.
- some reviews said water too choppy. A couple days it was a little choppy for paddle boarding. But don’t be fooled it was gentle, Hawaii and California…now that’s choppy and downright intense.
- Also it’s a whole other level of calm when you can see everything in the water because it’s so clear.
- very minimal people on the beach… oftentimes no one.
- Exuma is not commercialized, it is underdeveloped. But that is it’s charm. It felt like a true tropical island vacation experience.
- locals were friendly and helpful and patient.
- the house was SO comfortable and elegant, and the beach SO beautiful, preferred to stay put most of every day.
- looking to really get away and spend quality time with family? This is the place, Exuma is the place!
Stunning property! Stephanie was so helpful and responsive! We can’t wait to come back!!!!

About the host
Hosted by Andrew and Stephanie Savage
My wonderful wife Steph and I have been married for a magical 28 years and we have traveled around the world together to some of the most exotic places on Earth. I have done 2 tours on Survivor (Pearl Islands and Cambodia-Second Chance, that's right, a 2-time Survivor loser, lol) and had the pleasure of experiencing incredibly beautiful beaches in remote locations. In 2020, Steph and I visited Great Exuma island in the Bahamas and this beach house and we immediately fell deeply in love. Within 5 minutes of setting foot in this beach house, we made an offer and never looked back and it was the best decision we ever made. Over the last 4 years, we have created deeply meaningful, incredible family memories with our two daughter, MacKenzie and Skyleur, that we will cherish for a lifetime and we have only just begun. I can say unconditionally that the Savage Sands beach house and location is order of magnitude more gorgeous than any other tropical location I have ever been. Trust me, you will not be disappointed and you too will create memories that you will cherish forever!
