Luxury Waterfront Home Overlooking Moriah Cay with all you need to explore Exuma

The Mandarin is a private waterfront retreat in Hartswell, Great Exuma, with breathtaking views of Moriah Cay and its protected National Park. From your own dock, you can set out each day to discover pristine sandbars, secluded beaches, and calm turquoise waters.

This spacious home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, comfortably accommodating up to 10 adults and a baby. A pool overlooking the ocean, a large yard, and an outdoor bar with a Hibachi grill make it perfect for family gatherings or relaxed evenings. The house is fully air-conditioned, equipped with modern amenities, and powered in part by solar energy with natural filtered rainwater. A backup generator ensures peace of mind during island power outages.

Moriah Cay—famous for its untouched beaches and crystal-clear waters—is less than 500 yards from your door. Two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards are included, giving you the freedom to explore nearby islands, fishing flats, and hidden coves. For more adventures, boat rentals can be arranged to Stocking Island, Elizabeth Harbour, or Sandy Cay.

Located on a quiet cul-de-sac away from the Queen’s Highway, The Mandarin offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. Within minutes, you can reach local attractions, dining, and the natural wonders of Exuma, and in just 20 minutes you’ll be in the heart of George Town.

The Mandarin is family-friendly, and designed for travelers who want comfort, convenience, and the magic of Exuma right at their doorstep.

Our stay was fantastic. The pool was great, and there are lots of pool toys/floats and items to use. The waterfront is amazing. We swam off the dock, and took the kayaks over to the sand bars. Kitchen well stocked. Lots of beach towels and a nice big laundry room that is stocked with left over sunscreen/bug spray/etc.

The Mandarin House was perfect for our family of 9. Plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. The house had everything you would need for a great time in Exuma. Kitchen was well appointed with anything you might need for cooking meals. The generator was great for power outages. Filtered water available. Loved the pool and dock for boat we rented from Drex. He was great to work with. Monica and Jonas were great host and always responded quickly to any questions.

Paradise FOUND!

It’s hard to put into words the beauty of Moriah Harbor and being able to stay right on her beautiful waters in the Mandarin House. The property was so perfect for our group and allowed everyone their own space to sleep and relax. We loved being able to hang in the pool after our days on the boat and in the water. Many naps were taken floating in the late afternoon sun floating in that pool 😂. The wild life in the harbor right off the dock was spectacular. We saw sting rays, turtles, lemon sharks (harmless), puffer fish, and more! I could’ve explored the area for a month. I was so sad to leave after 8 days. It simply wasn’t long enough. Monica is such a gem and so so communicative, kind, and helpful! We just loved our stay and can’t say enough. I don’t think we will ever stay anywhere else on the island now.

Longest Day Vacation

The Mandarin checked all the boxes!!! We had a great stay and will keep it on the list to consider staying again!!! However, one of the bedrooms bathroom, you have to go outside to get to it. It's the pool bathroom. The only other thing to consider is the dock. Good built dock with deep water even at low tide. The ladder could be better. Our group had some 60 year olds and had to pick them up at Browns Marina just down the road. With the larger boat we rented for our group of 7. The dinghy runs great and is perfect for a sandbar visit. Pool was awesome and the air conditioning was amazing, trust me that's important! The kitchen is the common area and has plenty of room to meet eat and watch TV. The laundry room is perfect, out of the way so anyone could wash clothes and not disturb the other folks, it is where the half bathroom is located. Monica took great care of us, she had Krissy meet us and they always responded quickly and answered all our questions. So, 5 stars except for the pool bathroom and the dock ladder!

AMAZING!!!!

My family (my mom, 2 sons aged 15 and 26), my boyfriend, my son's girlfriend, and I stayed last week. This home is nothing short of amazing. The location is far enough from town that it is not loud or busy, but close enough to get what you need without a lot of hassle. The home itself was immaculate and everything you will need is available. We cooked 2 nights and every morning for breakfast and everything that we needed was available in the kitchen to prepare our meals. The rooms are spacious and the layout is such that you can enjoy privacy when needed. The view is to die for. My children fished off of the dock and we did snorkel from there. We saw sting rays and had a turtle that kept us company every day while we were there (we named him Samuel) and he likes to eat squid. There was also a small nurse shark that hung out one day. We were able to rent a boat and go to some of the sandbars that are closeby and I cannot decribe the beauty. We were also close enough to go to Chat N Chill for a while one day by boat. Definitely rent a car so you can get to dinner and the market because it is about a 20 min ride into town. Overall, if i could give 10 stars, I wouldn't hesitate. The owners were always available (I communicated with Monica on multiple occasions, she always responded very promptly, answered all questions, and we were greeted at the home upon arrival. Definitely worth every penny!

Magical time with friends and family

We loved our stay at the Mandarin House. It was perfect for a group of long time friends. Everybody had both space to get away and a great family spaces to get together. We cooked together, hung out by the pool and explored the island. Monica made excellent recommendations for activities, services and restaurants. The staff is great too, they came by frequently to check on things and make sure we had gas for the grill, towels and supplies. I would recommend that they get new paddles for the paddle boards. Overall we had a great time.

The house was absolutely perfect!! Monica had fast, excellent communication from the time we booked through check out. We hired a Chef Keva to cook our meals which is an excellent way to fully enjoy your vacation. We loved hanging out at the bar area after a long day on the water. The dock was perfect for our boat rental drop off where we explored Moriah Cay and then spent the afternoon at Chat n Chill. A short drive to Tropic of Cancer Beach which might be the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. We had a lovely dinner at Blu on the Water, a short drive from the property. I would highly recommend the Swimming with the Pugs All Day Tour (Staniel Cay). So much fun! It also includes a stop to see endangered Iguanas, swimming with Nurse Sharks, snorkeling Thunderball Grotto, and lunch at Staniel Cay Yacht Club. Would absolutely stay here again!
