Welcome to Nautilus By The Sea, one of the newer waterfront homes on Great Exuma, completed in January 2022. Brand new pool and deck completed December 2024.
Enjoy stepping into the beautiful warm turquoise waters of Hoopers Bay directly from your back door where you will find colourful fish, sea fans, and an abundance of other marine life ready to dazzle you. Two stand up paddle boards, four kayaks and snorkel gear are provided for you to explore Hoopers Bay.

In addition to the waters of Hoopers Bay, you can also enjoy swimming or lounging in our 15 by 28 ft pool with amazing views of the beautiful Exuma turquoise water.

This is one of just a few properties with a dock on Hoopers Bay. The dock extends 50ft into the bay which can accommodate up to a 36ft boat and 3ft draft. (The boat lift is not available for guest use.) There is a mooring buoy just off the dock as well to keep the boat secure. Only privately owned boats are able to be kept at the property. Guests with privately owned boats can hop in the boat right from their back yard and explore the spectacular sandbars, secluded beaches, snorkelling reefs, lazy river, restaurants etc.

The home sits on a small private lane off Queens Highway on 0.75 acres, 125ft of waterfront and the house is 90 feet from the shoreline. It has many outdoor places to entertain and relax at the seaside, even workout in our outdoor gym (pull up bar, battle ropes, weight lifting, sit up bench, free weights etc) There is a large deck off the great room under a canopy of trees providing shade all day where you can grill out, dine and relax, or follow the wooden paths to the dock, gazebo and boardwalk along the shoreline. Stop along the way to gently swing in hammocks under the Gumbo Limbo trees and take in the tropical gardens throughout the property. Enjoy laying on sun loungers on our sandy beach or have some fun playing cornhole and ring toss while taking in the amazing views. In the evening, enjoy gorgeous sunsets and sit under the twinkling lights of the waterside gazebo while gazing at the stunning stars that fill the sky here in Exuma.

There is a bright and sunny courtyard at the front entry where you can relax in Adirondack chairs and enjoy the peace and tranquility of palms blowing in the wind, wind chimes, butterflies, birds and beautiful vibrant colored tropical flowering plants of Exuma.

The house is a modern design 3 bedroom / 2 bath with 13 ft ceilings and a great room with a full wall of glass offering a breathtaking view of the stunning blue water. The kitchen with large island, dining room and living room with 65” TV comprise the great room. The home has a split floor plan design, with the primary suite on one end of the home. The primary bedroom has three 8’ high sliding glass doors proving a beautiful view of the water and leads to a private deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee in Adirondack chairs looking out at the water. It has a king size bed, a 50 Smart TV and large desk. The primary suite also includes a large closet and beautiful ensuite bathroom with a double vanity and extra large doorless shower. Separate from the primary suite and on the other end of the house, there are 2 bedrooms and a full guest bathroom. One bedroom is seaside and has 2 extra long twin beds which can be easily converted to a king size bed, also with three 8’ high sliding glass doors that open onto a private deck. The 3rd bedroom has a garden view on 3 sides with a patio door that leads to a private patio with bistro set and path to the water's edge. It has a queen size bed and an extra long twin bunk bed. The couch in the great room converts to a double bed. The maximum occupancy is 8, which can be divided comfortably among the 4 sleeping spaces.

Take advantage of a private hot and cold tap outdoor shower to freshen up after a swim in the pool or ocean.
The house is in an ideal location to take in all the unique activities the Exumas has to offer....
Paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming, splashing and snorkelling from your backyard, just 90ft from your back door.
5 minute swim, paddle or walk to Turtle Beach where you can swim with the popular Hoopers Bay turtles and enjoy a stroll along or picnic on a gorgeous white sand beach.
5 minute walk to Prime Island Meats, Deli and Grocery Store and pizza restaurant
3 minute drive to a liquor store (C.N.K. Liquors) and grocery store / pharmacy (Smittys)
8 minute drive to Georgetown
10 minute drive to the airport
5-10 minute drive to fantastic restaurants with fresh local seafood, and conch salad.

We are one of just a few homes on the island with Fibre internet providing the best quality Internet available on the island. There is wifi as well as a hardwired connection at the primary bedroom desk if required.

4 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, coolers, beach chairs, beach umbrella and snorkel gear are available for guests to use as well as games and books for some fun indoors as well.

The house is equipped with a solar power system, therefore power outages are not an issue.

This amazing property is sure to provide you and your family/guests with a very special place to stay while creating experiences and memories of a lifetime.

GUEST COMMENTS...

Exceeded all expectations.

Paddleboarding and kayaking everyday over to feed the turtles, snorkelling, swimming, BBQ'ing and lounging all in the backyard.

BBQ'ing is a must with that million dollar backdrop, you will long for nothing else.

Impeccably appointed with everything you need for the week.

Imagine walking out through sliding glass doors every day and saying hello, my love to crystal clear, calm, stunning, turquoise waters filled with marine life and at dusk you are excited to witness breathtaking sunsets.

Property manager was great, very responsive and had great recommendations for our trip.

Yoga, meditation, connection with nature and ocean: that's the place.”

This vacation was truly paradise

We would definitely go back and stay here again! Just beautiful!

The hosts were very kind and accommodating and the views of the water were beautiful to wake up to.

    Photos truly don’t do this place justice. The views of Hooper’s Bay are incredible, and there is just so much to do, it’s like having your own private resort! 6 of us stayed here over New Year’s week, including two boys 10 and 12. We were all kept busy — between the pool, dock, fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, SUPs and beautiful deck and “beach” to lounge on, you truly don’t have to leave to enjoy Exuma. But you’ll want to to take in everything the amazing island has to offer. We had two private chefs cook for us as well as a masseuse give us massages on the sandy beach, and the house was the perfect set up for both. We couldn’t have been more pleased! If you’re considering Nautilus by the Sea, book it now. You won’t regret it and will have Exuma “blues” the second you leave. We can’t wait to come back!

    We just returned from an incredible stay at Nautilus by the Sea. The house was so clean and well stocked. It’s new with all the amenities. Everything you need is provided. Monica will take care of you. She had groceries and lunch waiting when we arrived which was very much appreciated! She gave is recommendations for restaurants and anything else we needed. She is very kind and gracious. The view is breathtaking. The grounds are beautiful and there are so many things you can do is paddleboard, snorkel, play corn hole, swim or just sit by the pool. You can even order ahead and have some Bahama Mama’s delivered! I can not say enough good things. Thank you for an awesome experience and a wonderful memory for our family Monica!

    Where do I even begin....this house was amazing! From the second we opened the front door our family was in love! It's your own private paradise! The owners designed this house around the natural beauty and enjoyment of the property in mind. Located on Hooper's Bay, we had sea turtles visit us every morning and every evening. Our family loved relaxing on the tree covered deck, sitting on the dock, kayaking to the sandy beach, paddle boarding, swimming in the most gorgeous water and so much more right in your own front yard! We had 6 adults all having more than enough space and privacy. The house was cool and comfortable throughout. We all slept so well every night. Location is wonderful as well. Minutes to the airport, a small grocery and meat market and to Georgetown. 30 minutes either way gets you to any beach you want to explore from the Tropic of Cancer to Coco Plum. The last night of our vacation we enjoyed Cocoplum Bistro for dinner. We went around the table with each family member sharing their favorites from the week. Every person said the house was one of their favorite things. We woke up every morning in paradise! Last but not least, Monica our host was wonderful! She met us the first day, showed us around and told us about events that were taking place on the island. I texted with her throughout the week with ease. Thank you for such a relaxing week spent making memories that my family will always cherish!

    Our home on Hoopers Bay was cool and comfortable with everything we could have needed! Being on the water with the ability to snorkel and turtle watch right off our own dock was amazing. Our just stocked our fridge and grocery stores were close by. We made most of our meals at home on the grill and enjoyed the family time.

    We had a great time at Nautilus By The Sea, beautiful view from the deck and dock. Family of 5 fit very comfortably. Concierge Monica put us in contact with private chefs and had two great dinners. The location is perfect and very central to grocery, liquor stores, boat rentals, beaches, etc.

    Let’s start with, JUST WOW! WOW, WOW , WOW! From organizing and planning with Monica everything was perfect. Even when we missed our flight do to airplane mechanical problems Monica came to the rescue! We sent her a list for groceries and we were delighted to have them all there and waiting for us after a few days of dealing with delayed flights. We walked into the house and immediately fell in love with the views, layout and attention to detail the owners put into this beautiful home. We were a party of five and we had more than enough room. We had our own outdoor playground. We kayaked, paddle board, snorkeled and just enjoyed our coffee on the private deck. We saw turtles, tons of fish and a daily visit from a ray. We named him Manny! We woke up every morning and just went outside to enjoy the beauty. Monica and her assistant Krissy were so attentive during our stay! We relied on them for recommendations, and all their recommendations worked out great. House is located near everything. If you are thinking of booking this home. Do not hesitate. It truly made our stay perfect! Thank you for making our vacay perfect!
