"The Great Escape is the only way to describe a week at Ole Ike Bay. The beauty and serenity is priceless. The house is an oasis in the middle of nature's paradise. We don't want to go home and we can't wait to come back. Our children experienced a beauty they didn't know existed and our friends found a new level of peace and quiet and an unparalleled natural beauty. God Bless Ole Ike Bay!!!"

Kids loved grabbing, swimming & beach fun while adults enjoyed cocktails beyond compare as requested. Thank you where we were thirsty! So many family memories made and treasured. Too many animal encounters: stingrays, count turtles, rays, lizards, birds, fish, hummingbirds, moray eels and so much more. CAN'T WAIT to come back soon—THANK YOU!!"

Scott & Tracey Tomlinson - Honeymooners from Wellington, NC"We spent the week here with extended family. One of our favorite parts of the day was drinking coffee and watching the sun rise! The views from every point in the house were spectacular!! We rented boats 3 of the days to explore different beaches and enjoyed the locals at each spot. Lamond our house manager was fantastic and helped us with whatever we needed - Best Xmas vacay yet!!"
Nicole & Matthew Little - Charlotte, NC. (My favorite island and my favorite people!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!) Shaun & Lea Smitt - Nashville, TN. X-mas"What a gorgeous home! We enjoyed 3 spectacular nights here with some of the most beautiful views. We rented a boat for 4 days and explored many beaches, bars + snorkeling holes. Our favorite spot was the Man-of-War Cay sandbar. We snorkeled right in front of the house + saw turtles + dolphins, Chef Andrea Gray made us a birthday dinner one night and a breakfast. Highly recommend! We're sorry to have missed Lamond."

The sunrises, the sunsets, the clear blue water, the lazy river... All of it was awesome! Chef Keva's private dining experience was amazing so was Lamon! CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK. LOVE + GOD BLESS."
Matt & Nat Houston from @Adventures of MattandNat (YouTube/Insta) - Nashville, TN, January '24Our first time visiting Exuma and we feel incredibly lucky to have found Ole Ike Bay. We could have spent the entire stay going no farther than the porches and dock. Ian, Creighton & Lamon were wonderful, welcoming hosts. The history of this place, the ever-changing views, the easy access to everything Exuma has to offer. Thank you for opening up this amazing home to guests — we wouldn't change a thing about our stay and look forward to coming back."
The Moores + The MacGillivray Moores - February 2024"All we can say is… wow!! This was our 1st trip to Exuma & we don’t want to leave as it’s paradise! Beautiful house, unbelievable views, and the friendliest people – what else could anyone ask for!!! Creighton & Alex were extremely helpful… it didn’t matter if it was a dinner recommendation or assistance finding a boat to see the pigs (which we highly recommend). We had a wonderful time – both on the island & 'fellowshipping' with each other. Can’t wait to come back for our next visit! ❤️ H&P fams"
The Howard Family of Spartanburg, SC (Danny, Jenny, Emory, Elyn, & Thomas) + The Potter Family of Trenton, NC (Bryan, Candi, Evan, & Bryce) - 3/30/2024 to 4/6/2024"March 2024 – we had so much fun at the island Exuma. We saw pigs, turtles, sharks, etc. Finding sanddollars and riding jetskis. We spent every second having fun. With everybody we met on the island, Lamon helped us out the most with everything he helped us plan and do. This house is definitely a top-notch vacation home, and we can’t wait to stay again. From Luke & Cole"

"Upon checking into this paradise incomparable to any other, we instantly felt an endless adventure awaiting. From all the sea creatures living just outside the back door (nurse sharks, turtles and fishes galore) to the islands filled with nature (unpopulated by humans), we explored every inch. With each moment we were blessed with while here, your home provided a sanctuary for us to gather and thank God for every single cherished memory made. THANK YOU!! See you again soon."
