About this property

HOOPERS BAY:ONE BED APT - AWARD WINNING for 4 DIRECTLY on TURTLE BEACH

Our 2 room beach apartment is ideal for a family or for two couples who want a holiday or vacation DIRECTLY on what is regarded as the best beach to stay on in Exuma and the only beach with resident GREEN TURTLES. We were pleased to have won the traveler choice, and certificate of excellence awards for the third consecutive year from the worlds largest trip advisory organisation.
See our turtles-exuma.com and enjoy watching how our guests have interacted with the turtles and learn more about their lives and protection.
The apartment is particularly useful for parents with young children or those with accessibility issues as everything is on the ground floor and the few paces to the beach is on flat ground.
One Queen bed is in one room and a King or 2 Twins is in the other room - each room has its own shower room. A full kitchen has stove with oven, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee makers etc.
Fully air conditioned plus ceiling fans for comfort together with flat screen TV, radio/CD player and FREE, UNLIMITED WiFi.
A patio with table and chairs allows for outdoor relaxing or meals.
Just a few seconds through the palm trees in our garden takes you directly onto the beautiful Hoopers Bay beach -a 1/2 mile ( 1 kilometer ) long soft white sandy bay gently sloping into the incredibly blue safe and calm water which is ideal for all ages to swim, snorkel, play or kayak. Hoopers Bay is sheltered from the prevailing winds so is always calm and safe
Some of the advantages of staying at our sandypalmsbahamas location are:-
--Direct "on the beach" position
--Peaceful and private situation with our grounds of 1.5 acres around the property
--Only 12 minutes from the international airport, less than 1 minute from a range of good local shops and 6 minutes from restaurants and George Town, the capital.
--FREE kayaks for our guests use
--FREE pickup for the private transfer to the swimming pigs tours.

Great Stay

This was my 3rd time to Exuma and I took my 2 teenagers for their first time. Peter and Betty were wonderful hosts. They answered my questions quickly and were waiting for us when we arrived to show us around their wonderful property. The location is wonderful, very close to 2 grocery stores and a short distance to Georgetown. I would definitely stay there again if I make it back to Exuma!

Schönster Urlaub ever

Wir reisten vom 20. Januar bis 2. Februar 2023 nach Exuma. Der Kontakt mit den Vermietern Betty und Peter verlief sowohl vor den Ferien, wie auch während unserem Aufenthalt, stets problemlos. Peter informierte uns nach unserer Ankunft ausführlich über alles Wissenswerte über die Insel, zeigte uns sogar persönlich Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie Lebensmittelläden, Metzger, Apotheke etc. Das fanden wir sehr zuvorkommend und erleichterte uns den Einstieg ins Inselleben perfekt! Das Appartment ist sehr gut und zweckmässig ausgestattet. Wer selber kochen möchte, findet allerei Küchenutensilien. Hervorzuheben sind unserer Meinung nach die äusserst bequemen Matratzen! Was alles andere noch toppt, ist die aussergewöhnliche Lage direkt an der Hoopers Bay, einem der schönsten Strände Exumas. Jeden morgen mit den dort lebenden Schildkröten einen kleinen Strandspaziergang zu machen (ohne die Tiere zu füttern!!), war eines der Highlights dieses "once in a lifetime" Urlaubs und wird unvergesslich bleiben! Super fanden wir, dass uns von Betty und Peter Kajaks zur freien Verfügung gestellt wurden. (Dies ohne zusätzliche Mietgebühren) So konnten wir die Bucht noch besser entdecken. Alles in allem war es unser schönster Urlaub und wir sind ganz sicher, dass wir nach Exuma zurückkehren werden.

Great Place To Stay On Hoopers Bay

This property is in a good location right on the beautiful beach at Hoopers Bay, a stunning setting. Peter the owner was there to great us on our arrival, he is very welcoming. We had lots of questions about the area, Peter took time to tell us all about the island, he is able to arrange trips for you, car hire and fill you in on the history of the island. We really appreciated the time Peter spent with us, he and his wife Betty were perfect hosts for our stay on Exuma.

Outstanding location, sea turtles are the best, owners are wonderful and attentive to your needs

We would highly recommend this location and rental for folks that want to spend their time outside, sunning, swimming, reading, snorkeling, kayaking, boating, etc... A great value and wonderful neighborhood... two convenience stores well within waking distance. I would recommend renting the car as offered. It allows you to explore more of this awesome island and it’s courteous people. Just remember you are on island time ...

About the host

Hosted by Peter & Betty Oxley

We are Betty and Peter & have lived in Exuma permanently since 1999 when we moved from England and have developed their #1 Rated B&B Guest House 'CORAL GARDENS' which has been very popular for guests from all around the world for many years.
We recognised the need for visitors to have the choice to enjoy staying DIRECTLY on a beautiful beach and so in 2012 we found the ideal, nearby location which we named Sandy Palms in recognition of the many palms and coconut trees in the garden.
Now with our combined 40 years of experience welcoming guests to the island we are able to help with the best suggestions of making the most of a visit to Exuma.

Why they chose this property

Only 10 minutes from the international airport and 6 minutes from George Town, the convenient location of Sandy Palms is quiet and peaceful whilst a variety of local shops are only a 5 minute easy walk away.
Approached on its own tree lined driveway and hidden from the Queens Highway Sandy Palms is positioned along the centre of the 1/2 mile curving sweep of Hoopers Bay.

What makes this property unique

Hoopers Bay Beach is protected from the prevailing winds and so is always calm and the sea safe for all ages.
Just a few steps from the apartment, the beach is a 1/2 mile (1 kilometer) strand of soft white sand and on the beach we have tables and chairs and loungers for our guests and for the more active we also have kayaks to explore more of the bay & enjoy meeting the resident Green Turtles.
