We FOUND PARADISE!
Rachel & Ed are excellent hosts. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and great location close to beautiful beaches and the airport. We also greatly appreciated the cold AC in every room! Honestly the house has everything you need, including all the kitchen/grill things you’ll need for a dinner at home, kayaks, snorkel equipment, small private beach, loungers and plenty of beach towels. The hosts were very communicative before our arrival and provided us with all the recommendations for restaurants, private chefs, photographers, etc. You won’t regret staying at Paradise Found Villa!

Couldn't have been better!
We rented Paradise Found for a few nights during our stay in late June. The property, owners, and property manger exceeded our expectations! The location is secluded and quite, while still being conveniently located within a few minutes to grocery shopping, take-out food, restaurants, and many beautiful beaches. The centralized location makes trips to the northern part of the island, Little Exuma, and Georgetown quite convenient. The house is well appointed - kitchen is equipped with all you need to make meals, furniture and beds are comfortable, lots of beach towels and floats for enjoying the water. There are multiple outdoor seating options - my favorite places for escaping the June heat while enjoying the view was the ocean deck and Tiki Bar! You will check in and never want to leave!

Amazing vacation!!
Paradise Found is a wonderful home just north of Georgetown that has the most beautiful water right outside the door. We found this house was perfect in everyway. If you never wanted to leave home, you had floats and kayaks to explore. The snorkeling from just walking into the water was amazing. This house is in a perfect location to drive and explore the island in either direction, north or south. Exuma is a beautiful island. We will definitely be planning another trip here.

Made fun memories - beautiful property
We had the best time this week! The house was better than described - when we rent in USA, the spices and condiments are all gone. This place had everything we needed! That is such a small thing to mention, but loved it. Cleo, the house manager, is the sweetest and very responsive. Rachel, the owner, is the same. We had everything we needed. We made so many memories here! The property was large enough that even though we had two families, there was plenty of space for everyone inside and out.

Perfect stay
We had a great stay at Paradise Found. Rachel was great to work with. House is exactly as described. Super clean and well stocked. The outdoor area is great for lounging day and night. Access to the water was a huge plus for cooling off plunge. There’s a beach just to your left about a five min kayak ride as well. Would definitely come back with a group.

Awesome in every way!
1. Paradise fond was exactly as described. It's a great home in a great location. Located between the airport and George Town it was convenient to both. A really nice, little grocery store was just a short walk away (about 10 min). 2. The property was well stocked with 2 grills, and the tiki bar was really cool. There were plenty of beach toys and games. Don't underestimate the size of the patio. It's huge and was one of the best parts of the property. 3. Rachel, the property owner was probably the best part of the the whole experience. Without going into a lot of detail, she went beyond the call of duty. She basically rescued three weary sailors on arrival. She also was proactive in guiding us on what me might do. 4. If I had to nitpick, not having a beach there was a little downer but with beautiful, world class beaches just down and up the road made this really insignificant. Plus, it's always more fun to venture out and explore. In summary, I would definitely visit Paradise Found again. I can't wait to get back ASAP!

We went on a girls trip for my 45th birthday. The property and house was absolutely beautiful, the host and manger were very attentive and the driver gully was simply amazing and helpful. We would love to go back as a couples trip. The ocean right off the deck was invigorating and undescribable. We saw a song ready and a sea turtle right off the deck. The house has everything you could need for a pleasant stay.

The pictures say it all. The views are stunning. Kitchen was well stocked, we cooked dinner every night. We even bought lobsters from a local and made the best lobster dinner I have ever had. Cleo was super nice and helped us find a minister for a last minute vow renewal. Renting a boat is a must, loved da' sandbar just across the way. We will be back for sure.

Paradise Found has everything you could want in a vacation. The house was awesome and loved the LANI and Tiki Bar. Weather didn’t cooperate but we had a great time when the sun came out. Wish the beach access at bottom of stairs was more accessible to older adult. Overall we had a great 69th birthday celebration!

Enjoyed the private paradise!
This was our first experience at a vacation rental while in the Exumas, and it was a good one! I most enjoyed how truly private the home and back yard paradise felt. We got in the water off the back of the property several times and there is a bit of rocky area to traverse but then you quickly get to the white powered sand bottom. The water everywhere on this island is just amazing. Beds were very comfortable, there was nothing we were missing, and it was really nice to be able to use the washer/dryer (and cooler) during our stay. Wonderful host and experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Paradise Found. The home was well stocked and the location was perfect. The owner was very accommodating and easy to work with. We were able to explore the entire island and felt like the home was centrally located. The owner provided everything we needed for our stay. The recommendations that were shared for excursions and dining were some of the best on the island. Highly recommend staying here.

Ah, Paradise was indeed Found!
Our family just got back from a week of celebration down in the Exumas, and we highly recommend Rachel and Ed's Paradise Found! We researched thoroughly many months ago and found this one checked all the boxes for what we needed. Kayaks, ice chests, plenty of bath and beach towels, floats, all the 'pay-it-forward' sunscreen, shampoo, spices, and yes, a little rum (yay), plenty of waterfront seating, deck access from the master, a fully stocked kitchen, a screened porch, a tiki bar, and also surrounded by all sorts of wonderful creatures and spectacular views. What more could you ask? Communication was exceptional - we could always text or email to get extra info or last minute details. Check-in was a breeze - someone met us at the airport and had us follow in our rental car to the property, where we were met by yet someone else to give us a quick tour of the house and where things were located. Even when we had the rain day that's to be expected, we had a place to sit and chill and wait for the sun to come out. The location is excellent with Smitty's grocery just down the road. We ate at Shirley's several times because it was so close and a known good! Took several day trips, but we were also just happy to hang there. What meant the most to us I think was that the place was truly a home - a lot of history, personality, and memorabilia that told us who they were. And we loved it all.

Love Exuma and Paradise Found!
Our family has visited Exuma a couple of times, but this was our first stay at Paradise Found. The house is beautiful inside and out and super comfortable. Our kids had a great time with the outdoor Connect4 and other patio games. Adults enjoyed the multilevel decks and seating areas. Honestly, the only part of the home that I would change is that I would push the deck further out over the water so you can jump directly in- the rocks can be a little treacherous, but we didn’t mind them much. That is just something that spoiled us from a previous Exuma rental! Honestly, you can’t pick a better location- Smitty’s grocery is super close and you can swim with sea turtles in Hooper’s Bay in 5 minutes! We really appreciated not having to drive in to the Exuma markets for groceries. Also, Cleo worked with our trip concierge so that our house was pre stocked with our groceries before we arrived… Her willingness to do that was fabulous. Overall, we had a fantastic vacation. 10/10 - would definitely recommend!

A fantastic house and vacation!
The property was just as pictured which was a wonderful confirmation upon arrival. Cleo, the fabulous property manager was in touch with us and met us at the airport as we left baggage claim. Took us to Berlies to pick up our car and had us follow her to the house (pointing out the markets and beaches along the way! She even brought us some beach towels as we could not check in… we arrived at 7:30 am! The back deck and porch were a dream- our girls loved the games and kayaks/ paddle boards. Kitchen was a great size and well equipped. Comfortable beds and plenty of beach towels! We loved the walk to the private beach nearby especially. We had a good bit of rain but enjoyed the house and games, and had a wonderful trip. I hope we might return one day. If I could give this home ten stars- I would!
