I feel like my boyfriend and I are in a unique position review-wise because we split our time on Exuma between Hideaways and Da Sugar House (in that order). The reason we split our time was that we were worried about being too far from restaurants, bars, stores, etc. in George Town, and because we wanted to be close to the beach (Steve's place is on the opposite side of the highway, a short distance up a hill). If we could go back and change anything, however, we would stay with Steve at Da Sugar House for our entire stay.
First and foremost, Steve is the kindest, most helpful and resourceful host I've ever stayed with. We were blown away by his knowledge of the area / island, his willingness to share, and how out of his way he went to make sure we had the best time on Exuma. He reached out to me as soon as I booked with a ton of useful info (that I later referenced throughout our trip), and answered any questions I had immediately (including finding the closest liquor store selling bourbon and sending me a photo of their selection). When we were overserved at the fish fry and missed the tour we'd signed up for the next morning, he helped us find and arrange alternative plans (which ended up being our favorite day of the entire trip). I'm generally apprehensive about asking anything of hosts because I don't want to be a pain in the ass, but I recommend asking him anything because his knowledge and recommendations are ON POINT.
Because our first accommodations were pretty bare bones, it was such a relief to get to Steve's and find everything we could need (in particular because we'd already experienced the difficultly of finding certain things on Exuma): sunscreen, toilet paper, dish soap, snorkels (the newer models, too), beach chairs, umbrellas, ice, and a fridge stocked with beer, and more. This was a huge luxury and a kindness that saved us a lot of time and money.
I quickly saw that my reservations about staying on the hill side of the highway were wrong. Staying on the ocean side meant basically being on the highway. Staying at Da Sugar House (a five minute drive up the hill) was quiet and serene but still as close to stores, bars, etc. At night the deck outside our rooms was the perfect place to watch the stars, and waking up in the morning with the birds and trees was so peaceful.
I rarely write reviews, but this was a truly special stay. Do not sleep on Da Sugar House.
