Starting from
A ribbon of blue pushes past the white sands on the southern shores of Little Exuma, creating a natural oasis and bringing vibrant colour and life to the mangrove beyond.
This natural pool of crystal blue water ebbs and flows with the tides over acres of white sand and is home to exotic sea life just waiting to be explored. The locals will tell you that this oasis is among the most beautiful places on the island.
There are many places in Exuma from which you can experience the beauty of the ocean but there are few that allow you to embrace it like Ribbon of Blue. Whether the winds and tides are high or low, young and old can bask in this protected haven.
This airy, spacious 3100 square foot home comprised of a main house and two, adjoining one-bedroom cabanas with cathedral ceilings comfortably accommodates up to 11 guests (mix of adults/ children). A large, partially covered 2000 square foot deck contains the outdoor kitchen and lounge area wrapping around the Infinity pool, offers a breathtaking view and direct access to the sheltered beach, lagoon, coral reefs, and the crystal blue ocean.
Ideal for families of all generations to enjoy the natural beauty of the Exumas, or romantic getaways to re-energize your relationship. Everything you need to relax on the beach, float in the pool, explore the coastline, snorkel, kayak, and experience the amazing beauty, wildlife, and pristine waters is waiting for you at this home on a ribbon of blue.
The beautiful beach house, located on Little Exuma, is about a 45 min. drive from Exuma International Airport, and about 25 minutes from Georgetown itself, where the main grocery stores and other services are located.
The sheltered lagoon off our beach is a favourite with our guests. Enjoy a lazy river float as the tide comes in, and out. Kayak along the coast to explore the area and nearby islands. Wade to the sand bar on the other side of the lagoon and in just a short hike along the Conservation Area you’ll discover a lovely hidden beach.
Dining out is close by. It’s just a 5-minute drive to Williamstown to enjoy the delicious fare at Santanna’s or Tropic Breeze, both oceanside outdoor restaurants (covered areas available). Nearby Mom’s Bakery has delicious fresh-baked bread and sweet treats. Mom’s famous Rum Cake is a favourite with locals and visitors. A must-visit is Blu on the Water Restaurant & Bar in Rolletown (our favorite!). No visit to the Exumas is complete without dining on its fresh seafood – conch salad is famous at Chat n’ Chill on Stocking Island.
Georgetown offers several grocery and liquor stores, as well as The Straw Market for local crafts, bags, souvenirs plus amazing restaurants such as Copia at Peace & Plenty, the Rusty Anchor at February Point, and Driftwood Café & Pizza.

What a lovely home. This house has everything you could want. We loved the natural lazy river, the pool, the kayaks, the sunrise over the ocean, the master bedroom suites, and the well appointed kitchen, the proximity to Tropic of Cancer beach, and the privacy. What really makes the house special is Judy. She really makes the vacation flawless. Thank you. We can’t wait to be back.

The property and location were great. You need to know that you are quite away from town but with a little planning that was no problem. The tidal river was just amazing, watching the tides come and go and riding on the flowing river was great. We saw sting rays and star fish and crabs and conch and just had a great time. You could go just a short way out and get to the ocean and do some more snorkeling.
We found the house well equipped and plenty of room to handle our group of 10. The only thing that was a negative where the no-see-ums which you had to plan for and stay in the sun or where the wind kept them away or you got alot of bites. But that was a small price to pay for such a great location and accommodations.

We stayed at Ribbon of Blue and absolutely loved it! The house is beautiful and the photos don’t do it justice. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. Judy, the property manager was extremely helpful in giving us advice on where to go on the island for specific needs. She always responded to our calls within minutes and was so polite!
The location was about 30 minutes from town but we planned accordingly for groceries. If you like your privacy, this home is located on the best beach on the island. You have your own inlet and there are 5 kayaks to take out and explore the mangrove areas.
We all love this home and will definitely return hopefully sooner than later!

My family and friends had an amazing stay at this rental.
The online booking process was smooth and easy. Heidi got back to me directly with answers to all my questions. Heidi was quick to respond and extremely helpful. She gave us helpful local ideas and information about restaurants and rentals that made our stay that much more enjoyable.
The view was incredible from our lodging. We enjoyed the sound of the waves and many family game nights, with the included games.
We all enjoyed the gorgeous salt water pool and lying on the deck chairs.
Heidi recommend a lovely restaurant minutes away “Tropical Breeze”;the food and service was excellent.
This will be a tradition for our family for many years to come.
Thank you for having us !!! We hope to book again next year. Helene !
