Amazing Family Trip
The Papaya House was amazing. Love Beach is as beautiful as it sounds. Despite the beauty of the house, my favorite part was being able to snorkel from the beach in front of the house.

Great house and location
Pretty much as pictured and you’re right on the beach - really no reason to leave. They also have kayaks, paddle posts and some floats in garage. But it is also fun to explore! We speant a half day w Exuma water sports to see the swimming pigs and the snorkeling was phenomenal. We also rented a boat at Minns and explored on our own- this is a MUST! And have lunch at chat n chill. The kitchen in the home is pretty small and we found it easier to use the local Chef Ann who is amazing but about $100pp that includes the food. There are not any dinner options to eat out that we found but lunch spots were all good- tropic breeze and Santanas are both close by and great for lunch. The house was great but could use a little TLC - bathroom towel bars were loose and seemed to be an issue w one of the gas burners (gas leak?) that the property manager is looking into. Sofa was not very comfortable (futon type) but overall I still give it 5 stars because the beach, outdoor space, location, and access to chef exceeded our expectations- don’t get me wrong the home and room decor are beautiful- just some minor things they could update as mentioned. Do rent a car when you come!

Amazing home on beautiful Love Beach!
We had a great stay at the Papaya House! Had everything we needed and really appreciated having the generator! Onike was great while we were there and always responded quickly to any questions we had. Loved the location and the house with all the extras such as the kayaks, paddle board and floating mat! Can not wait to return to Exuma!

Amazing House and Cove
The house was beyond our expectations. Videos and pictures of the cove doesn't do justice. You have to see it in person. Host was great, always responded right away. Didn't have any issues and everything was great. Can't wait stay at this house again.

Best beach destination ever!
This is our second visit to Papaya House. Absolutely thrilled with the location, definitely not a place for partying and night life which we were not interested in…such a relaxing, pristine vacation to a safe and friendly small island. We have traveled over the years and visited some of the best beaches in the Caribbean and none are better than Love Beach. We will look forward to a return visit ASAP!

Beautiful Property and Wonderful Property Management
The home is absolutely breathtaking - the photos do not do it justice. Those in my party were pleasantly surprised by how immaculate and cozy the property was. Onike (property manager) was superb, answered questions promptly before and during our stay. She provisioned the house with some grocery items, arranged for us to have an in-home chef experience with Rondell, which was some of the best food we’d ever had! Onike also provided pertinent info about getting around, places to go and things to see. Additionally, Onike recommended Luther, who was our driver for the week and he too was amazing as we left the driving to him! Our group will definitely be back again to stay at the Papaya House. The only thing we would change or prepare for better next time is to use baby oil or a repellent for sand flies. There was some available in the home but because we are from the U.S., we didn’t realize we should’ve been using the repellent so instead used something similar to “Off” vs the sand fly spray — mainly because we just weren’t familiar with tropical locations. All of this to say, our stay was pretty darn perfect and we will return again and we highly recommend this property. Huge thank you to Onike!

This place was awesome! Can’t imagine waking up to a more beautiful view. The house was super clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need for a fabulous week from games, to kayaks, to beach toys, etc. The owners and Onike were super helpful and friendly and answered all of our questions. I would definitely go back and stay at there again!!!
