About this property

"The Cut Pearl" - Stunning Private Beachfront/Oceanfront Villa On Little Exuma

Easy flights land directly onto this beautiful island. Book into GGT, Georgetown, Exuma. Direct flights from Atlanta, Miami, Toronto, Nassau and more.
This 5 Bedroom, 4 Bath Villa has beautiful oceanfront views and a private beach. You will enjoy beautifully appointed bathrooms with tile showers, separate tubs and double vanities that have been completely renovated in 2016. All linens, bath towels, beach towels soaps and shampoo are supplied throughout.
There is a very large fully equipped kitchen and adjacent dining area with seating for 12. You can also choose to eat outdoors at the table on the covered porch.
Relax with family and friends in the large den with comfortable seating while admiring the ocean views. Watch TV if you find time away from the water. Wifi, and Apple TV are also included.
Rest assured with the recent addition of a second air conditioning unit you will be very comfortable in every room of the house. A full house automatic generator is our newest addition to offset those unexpected island power outages. You won't even know the power went out.
Wash the salt away after relaxing on your beach with water from our brand new state of the art fresh water system. The system provides pure drinking and bathing water throughout the property. (not something you always find in island locations). Enjoy the large covered patio while relaxing on chaise lounges or rocking chairs.
What sets The Cut Pearl apart is the spacious luxury and views. Our new patio and covered pavilion add more vantage points of the breathtaking views of the bluest water on earth. This is the most relaxing place in the world free from crowds and distractions. Be aware that the beach can significantly fluctuate mainly during hurricane season according to the tides and the winds.
4 Kayaks are provided with snorkel gear and life jackets. Spend your day fishing, diving, snorkeling, boating, hiking or just exploring the most incredible beaches you will ever see. If you weren't able to book activities in advance our property manager can assist you to make your stay the most memorable one. They can help you book various excursions you will never forget!
The manager can also arrange onsite Bahamian prepared meals in the villa. Menu available upon request.

Beautiful Beachfront

Three of the 5 bedrooms had comfortable king beds en-suite spacious baths and ocean views with door to walk out. Perfect for our three couple group. No one felt dissed because all the rooms were awesome. The other rooms were nice too but we didn’t use them. The beach is absolutely stunning and perfect for a swim any time of day. Yes at high tide there not a lot of sand but if that’s what you’re looking for just walk a 100 yards down the beach or even furth to the perfect protected cove I called the blue lagoon. Super close to Pretty Molly and Forbes hill beach which is probably the best beach on the island. Andy was always available and super responsive with great info in advance and during our stay. Can’t recommend highly enough. The longer we stayed the more we appreciate this amazing spot.

Christmas Vacation

Beautiful location! Owner was always available with any questions or just to check in with us. It was windy during our stay, so we were unable to use the kayaks. However, it was still so beautiful to listen to the waves and take a walk down the beach. The water is so clear! Oh and the sunrises and the stars were amazing!

Perfect house!

This house is all I hoped it would be. There were 8 adults and it was plenty of room for us to spread out. It is well stocked with kitchen necessities as well as towels, washcloths, beach towels, tons of beach chairs, snorkeling equipment, etc. Andy was very helpful as well as Judy. Judy did our grocery shopping for us and lined up the taxi as well as rental car. Our only let down was we didn’t have a beach the whole time we stayed. It was very windy and I guess that affected the tide. We loved the location of the house and we would stay here again for sure.

Great Vacation at the Cut Pearl

### Review for Cut Pearl in Little Exuma Our stay at the Cut Pearl in Little Exuma was truly memorable. We were a group of six adults and five kids, and the house perfectly accommodated us. The owners were very responsive and accommodating, ensuring our comfort throughout the stay. The house itself is huge, with plenty of different spaces for everyone to enjoy. It is very well-equipped, featuring multiple kayaks, snorkeling gear, and beach chairs. The kids had a blast with all the available streaming services, keeping them entertained throughout our stay. One of the highlights was the proximity to Moriah Cay and the lazy river, which we could kayak to on a non-windy day. Although the beach directly in front of the house was affected by the tides and weather, this did not dampen our spirits. We rented a van and explored many beautiful beaches, including Pretty Molly, Forbes Hill and the Tropic of Cancer. Overall, it was an amazing vacation filled with fun and adventure. The only minor downside was the limited beach access right in front of the house, but the surrounding area more than made up for it. We highly recommend the Cut Pearl for a fantastic getaway.

Wonderful house on a semi-private beach

Our family of 6 had a fantastic stay here. The semi-private beach will rival any of the best beaches in the Caribbean. The house was clean and comfortable. There is a very well stocked dive room in the house with snorkel gear, kids toys, floats, coolers. The house is 25 minutes from Georgetown but wasn’t an issue As activities, we did Minns (recommended) and TT Watersports (not worth it given this house has kayaks)

Family Christmas Trip

Andy, I can’t say enough good things about him. From communication prior to arrival giving us ample information and details to checking in throughout the trip with additional insider info that he and Mrs. Loren have accumulated over their years here. The property was beyond beautiful. Described to a T. Many more kitchen amenities than we have had in many other vrbo rentals. The beach gear storage room was such a huge benefit. We took full advantage of the chairs, ice chests, masks, snorkels, life jackets, flippers, kayaks, and noodles. The mattresses were superb. Waking up in paradise and not having to loosen up these joints was a very unexpected surprise.

with adult kids and their significant others

The photos don't show just how much space and view this property has. It was fabulous, super-well-stocked with everything you could need or want from kayaks, floats, snorkels and coolers to sunscreen, paper towels, comfortable beds and quality sheets, a huge back porch with quality furniture and priceless view. There was no beach due to the tide while we visited which was totally fine. Water was gorgeous for swimming and snorkeling. Getting in and out of the water on rough days is a bit treacherous as you have to crawl over a few rocks (that are NOT slippery and do have good grip but still tough when waves hit), but we all swam daily. It's about 20 min to Georgetown. We cooked and ate at the house a lot and enjoyed the privacy. We rented a boat for three days so we used those days to explore all the island has to offer - stingrays, turtles, starfish, etc - and enjoyed the other days largely around this fabulous house. There was more than enough room for 8 - we could easily have added more. The power does go out very frequently and the generator came in clutch - super, super valuable! Highly recommend.

Gorgeous views, deceptive listing

This was listed as beach front and the listing photos must have been photo shopped. Getting to the water was difficult and if not at absolute low tide was dangerous. There were steps down to a boulder and jagged rock covered shoreline. I would no way call it a beach. While I found out that there was no one in before our arrival and no one coming in immediately after, we had a landscape crew onsite Monday and Tuesday from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm running weedwhackers ALL DAY it seemed to be the goal of the crew was to remove every piece of anything green. Additionally, on our first night, while star gazing, we see headlights coming up the drive. I get around to the front and 2 guys are there, hood up on a mini van, using the hose on the front to add water to their radiator. I ask "can I help you?" answer "No we are good, the property manager told us it was ok to be here." REALLY ? The only real good thing to come out of "service" was one night we went to use the gas grill, the propane tank was empty, contacted manager and a replacement tank was onsite within 20 minutes. We had a major indoor flying ant infestation on our final night, gross and disgusting. On a note of caution outside and under no control of the property, the roads headed out of Georgetown leading to and in Little Exuma are extremely horrible and dangerous. There are potholes that will flip your car. If true pictures were on the listing, we would not have chosen to stay here, very deceptive.

Loved it!

We really enjoyed our time at the Cut Pearl, the house had everything we needed and more, we love and try to visit Exuma at least once a year but this was our first time staying at a property in little Exuma and we loved it! We visited different beautiful beaches but our favorite place to swim was the one in front the house, there’s not a lot of beach area during high tide and is rocky but the water was absolutely beautiful, we swam, kayaked and had a great time! The ocean view from different areas of house is absolutely breathtaking, since we’re somewhat familiar w the area we know sometimes there are power outages but the house had a generator so we didn’t have to go without it. Looking forward to stay again at the Cut Pearl in the future.

Private paradise

The Cut Pearl has every amenity you can think of. Beds and living area furniture are comfy, and plenty of deck seating. Our beach area was very private, gorgeous views, and several kayaks for us to use. We had a couple of minor issues due to heavy rains during the week, but the owners and caretaker were very responsive and arranged repair right away.

This villa has a fantastic view of the sea off Little Exhuma Island from the villa's rear deck/patio area. It is simply breath-taking. Everyone connected to the property responded quickly to our communications and acted on them. The villa had some minor plumbing issues BUT they were taken care of immediately. The area is beautiful, the villa clean, comfortable and well decorated. Finally, The beach below the villa is beautiful, easily reached, and provided our family reunion hours to fun in the sun. The kayaks, beach chairs and snorkeling gear is all in good shape. I recommend it at the highest level.

About the host

Hosted by Andy and Loren Kern

Host profile image
Loren and I fell in love with Exuma during our first visit in 2012. After 5 visits we decided we had truly found our favorite vacation spot. The Cut Pearl found us and we decided we wanted to share this piece of heaven with others.

Why they chose this property

The Cut Pearl in Little Exuma is a hidden jewel. The property sits on the most secluded and beautiful ocean spot we have ever seen. The waters of the Bahamas are so clear and beautiful in every shade of blue. The people of Exuma are so hospitable and gracious. They host people from all over the world and no one is a stranger.

What makes this property unique

The beach location is secluded and very private. The most beautiful beaches in the world are found in the Exumas. This beach is amazing and diverse with the softest sand and beautiful rock formations. The aqua blue waters will devour your thoughts and make you smile.
The property manager can arrange a private chef to prepare meals at the villa.
