Driftwood Condos face the ocean side of the island with its cooling breeze and magnificent turquoise waters where you can swim with the wild turtles, watch dolphins, snorkel in the crystal clear waters, or just soak up the sun on the beautiful beach. The Condos are clean and enjoyable and have all of the amenities needed. The bedroom closets have plenty of hangers and storage space for your personal needs. Each condo also has a safe for your valuables. They offer luxury flexible accommodation for 2-4 in each of the two Condos; the second floor condo offers two bedrooms with queen size beds and with en-suite bathrooms. The first floor condo offers two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other has two twin beds that can be made into a king size bed. This flexibility means you can rent either condo for 2-4 guests, or both for up to 8 guests. The condos are one above the other, and benefit from all modern amenities. Both offer balconies overlooking the beautiful bay with its stunning sunsets and share a private outside sundeck. Driftwood is the perfect place for relaxing and swimming from your own private beach, with lots of other things to do: beach combing, wildlife, historical and cultural places of interest. Hoopers Bay is shallow, always calm, perfect for swimming (especially for children), protected from winds and yet offers amazing snorkeling. This first floor condo has two bedrooms each with en suite bathroom. One bedroom has a queen size bed and the other one has two twin size beds that can be made into a king size bed. If you need more space, why not rent our second floor condo as well? To find our second floor condo search Tripadvisor with these words: Exuma Driftwood. The kitchen has a full fridge/freezer, microwave, stovetop, counter-top oven with convection and rotisserie, a complete set of cookware and small appliances (coffee maker, kettle, toaster, blender, food processor, waffle, pancake and sandwich maker). There is also an outdoor gas grill for your grilling needs. Attached to the building there is a laundry room with a full size washer and dryer. Laundry soap is provided. Hoopers Bay is one of the main reasons for staying at Driftwood Condos. It is pretty much everyone's idea of the "perfect beach". It is shallow, warm and very safe for swimming. You can run your fingers and toes through powder white sand, whilst drowsing in the shade of a tall coconut palm with a cold drink by your side. With few people around the half-mile long beach it is quiet and private which makes it just the place to unwind. There are two kayaks for each Condo with life jackets provided and a paddleboard. There are also some floats and toys for children. Snorkeling is always a great way to spend an afternoon, looking for myriads of fish in the crystal clear waters or swimming with the wild turtles that live in the bay. At Driftwood we have a very unique feature at the beach, which is our very own private space reserved for our guests. Under the beautiful coconut trees we have many different beach chairs, two hammocks and a table and chairs. If you would like to move the chairs closer to the ocean we have umbrellas that you can use for shade. In our beach room we have cushions that you can use on the chairs as well. When you arrive at Driftwood Condos you will find five gallons of filtered water in your cooler, which we can refill from our own reverse osmosis system, 2 rolls of toilet paper in each bathroom, one roll of paper towels, bathroom soap, dish soap, a new sponge, dishwasher soap, coffee filters, basic spices, plastic food wrap and aluminum foil and laundry soap. If you arrive on a Sunday or after 5:30pm please let us know if you would like us to pick up a few groceries and we are happy to do so if you send us a list. You can reimburse us when you arrive. We are central located so most of the restaurants and night spots are within 3 miles of Driftwood. There is plenty of parking in our property. Exuma is not crowded so parking is very convenient and easy everywhere you go After you book a detailed document will be sent to you with tips on what to bring, detailed directions to various important places and contact phone numbers to assist you in booking excursions. We will also be happy to answer any questions you might have so please do e-mail us. We are always available. We look forward to meeting you soon. Lidia Rodrigues and Eric Beutner

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.

Wow!
We rented the Driftwood first floor condo from Dec. 23-30, 2020. Amazing location and view. We always rent vacation properties directly on the beach and this one did not disappoint. The condo was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. Although the weather was extremely windy and water too cold to enjoy, we were on the beach every day and did see the turtles which are adorable. The owners are gracious hosts and my only regret was that I did not get to spend enough time visiting with Lidia. Eric was kind enough to take my daughter and my granddaughter on a hiking adventure which they thoroughly enjoyed. We made wonderful family memories and will definitely return to this paradise one day.

Absolute Paradise with Wonderful Hosts!
This apartment has everything you could possible want in Exuma. The owners Eric and Lydia are amazing to work with and are super helpful if you have any questions. The apartment is clean and right on the beach. To top it off you are on one of the BEST beaches in Exuma! We stayed here for 2 weeks with our two daughters and can't wait to come back again. The AC works great! The beds are comfy! We cooked in almost every meal and the kitchen was perfect for that! We loved the use of the kayaks to explore! I am a travel agent and would recommend this to my clients!

Wonderful family vacation
Me, my wife and our 7 year old twins stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It is directly on Hooper's bay which is beautiful. We really enjoyed the beach here, it was always very calm even when other beaches were a little rough. Swim, walk or kayak, down the beach to the dock and you might get to see the turtles, it was an experience our whole family will never forget. The proximity to stores, restaurants, a clinic, the hospital and Georgetown is great. We rented a car for the whole week so we explored this beautiful island and its wonderful beaches from its furthest point to the northwest on Great Exuma, all the way as far as we could drive southeast on Little Exuma. All of the local people we encountered on our vacation were very friendly and helpful. My family and I look forward to a return visit as soon as possible to this amazing location.

About the neighbourhood
Hooper's Bay is one of the main reasons for staying at Driftwood Condos. It is pretty much everyone's idea of the "perfect beach". It is has a gentle slope of perfect white sand into the warm and very safe for swimming. The Condos are centrally located and close to food shops, restaurants and liquor stores. If you are able to get away from the beautiful turquoise ocean you can walk around the safe and friendly neighborhood where Exumians will welcome you with beautiful smiles and open arms.
Getting around
You can find everything you need near Driftwood Condos. There is a fantastic butcher/grocery shop walking distance from the Condos and a restaurant. Within four miles you can find grocery stores, restaurants, bars, liquor stores, bank machines and a gas station. You can purchase souvenirs at the Straw Market and other small stores in town. You can either rent a car or call a taxi. As a guest at Driftwood, there are two kayaks for each Condo with life jackets provided. Snorkeling is always a great way to spend an afternoon, looking for myriads of fish in the crystal clear waters or swimming with the wild turtles that live in the bay. There is also a paddleboard. You can kayak from the beach right here to many small islands close to shore

How to get there
Driftwood Condos is on the island of Exuma in the Bahamas. Our airport is The Exuma International Airport, GGT. If you are coming from the US direct flights from the US to Exuma save time and problems. From Atlanta, Delta has a direct flight to Exuma a couple times a week. American Airlines flies directly to Exuma from Miami a couple of times a day and Charlotte more like weekly. Continental flies from Fort Lauderdale. Air Canada has direct flights from Toronto. These are the faster ways to get to Exuma from the US. Many airlines fly to Nassau. You can fly to Nassau then fly to Exuma with Bahamas Air or other local airlines but that often involves long layovers as there are only a few flights each day. If I fly thru Nassau, I try to leave 3 hours for the layover so I do not miss the flight to Exuma, it is easy to get held up getting luggage and going thru customs in Nassau and your flight into Nassau can easily be a little late. There is usually not another flight from Nassau to Exuma that day so you would have to spend the night in a hotel in Nassau pay the change fees and hope there is a morning flight with space on it for you the next day to come to Exuma. Coming from Europe connecting thru Nassau can be a very good choice. We hope this information helps you in choosing your flights.
