About this property

DILLYCRAB Beach House:POOL/Pool table/Table Tennis/STARLINK/ CarbonNeutral/SOLAR


Centrally Located so you can dine, shop, and explore both ends of the island easily. There is Tim’s on the Bay bar and restaurant at the end of the beach and another 5 minute drive away. Liquor store and gas station 5 minutes away and groceries 15 minutes.
From your house, enjoy the sunrise and Ocean view and easterly breezes. 2 MILES of silky WHITE SAND BEACH and the prettiest TURQUOISE WATER you will ever see. A mile out you have your own "PRIVATE ISLAND" to explore!!!
The Oceanside Tree House Deck set between 4 palm trees is a fantastic place to find sun and shade.. AND what a view from there! Your house has an unobstructed view of the ocean and is just steps away from the Treehouse deck and the stairs down to the beach protecting the sand dunes.
Enjoy your PRIVATE POOL for your morning dip or evening cocktails. A GARDEN OASIS curated with flowers and over 65 coconut palm trees will surround you bringing bird song and the sound of palm fronds rustling in the breeze.

CLEAN ENERGY: The 18KW Solar Power and Tesla Power Wall back up system means you not only will be able to enjoy a guilt free carbon neutral vacation, you also won’t be affected by the (often) blackouts that happen on Exuma. At Dillycrab the lights stay on, your beer stays cold and your ice never melts!!! The solar installation is on a separate garage like building, our airplane hangar. We are the first rental guest House on the island that is committed to Carbon Neutral! The extra energy we make goes back into the GRID! We also have STARLINK WIFI so if you really have to answer an email while on vacation.. no worries!

HOUSE: Our house is loaded with everything you would need for fun and family time. Your 3 Bed, 3 Bathroom Beach House (4th bedroom on request) and Poolside 1,200 sq. ft Games room with Big Screen TV, POOL TABLE and TABLE TENNIS TABLE has everything you would want for a fabulous vacation!
Principal bedroom has luxury 4 POSTER KING , large ensuite bathroom. From your bed the view through the sliding glass doors is a vista of turquoise Ocean and Palms! This opens onto a broad veranda with seating for 9 and a hammock for daytime naps. Second bedroom has Queen Canopy bed, and sliding glass doors with a gorgeous Ocean view and access to veranda .. ( My favourite room)! Third bedroom has a Queen, an XLTwin and extra washbasin. (4TH BEDROOM UPON REQUEST=sleeps 4)
Baby sleep pen and high chair can be arranged.
Fully equipped granite top kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, large dining table seats 9, living room with large 42”SMART TV overlooks pool and ocean.
Air-conditioned GAMES ROOM includes POOL TABLE, TABLE TENNIS, darts, exercise equipment, another 50" flat-screen SMART TV, Board Games, Beach and pool toys/floaties, kids sand toys.
In addition, enjoy the 2 single KAYAKS, 2 Tandem KAYAKS (seats 2adult+ one child) and body boards ..Beach Chairs, coolers..also new BBQ area with swing up BAR!

LOCATION: we are in the perfect central location on a quiet unpopulated spectacular beach! To the right a 15 min drive to a great bakery, Frankie's ..Grand Isle for fine dining, Paradise Bay Restaurant for good food..Big Ds for conch salad the best ever..........to the Left..15 min drive to George Town, and the Fish Frye(7 shacks) for great local cheap food (lobster, BBQ).

Activities: Exuma offers incredible bone-fishing and deep-sea fishing. If fishing is not your thing RENT A BOAT and seek your own adventure, snorkelling, sandbars, turtles.. (No license required)
..OR have OUT ISLAND EXPLORERS show you around the Exuma Waters. Kayak mangroves, scuba dive, do a tour of the Exuma Cays (see the famous swimming pigs). Check out a full day or half day excursion up the Cays to see swimming pigs and my favourite, swim with the sharks! Do the 7 Beach boat Tour! Take a water taxi ride to Stocking Island and hang out at Chat 'n Chill, pet stingrays, grab a beer, and eat a delicious barbecue. Check out the straw market, stores and local bars. Enjoy dancing and and great food Wednesday nights at EYC, dance to live music with the Rake and Scrape band on Mondays at Eddy Edgewater, Karaoke or check what’s on at Blu on the Water or Peace and Plenty on Thursdays…
If you want privacy and relaxation, relax by the pool or walk and swim the gorgeous beach or hang out in the hammock with a good book you wanted to read. Barbecue poolside and enjoy a tropical drink while the sun goes down.
Hire an IN HOUSE CHEF..and have a Massage at the House, relax like the Rich and Famous. ..AND for those early birds, long beach walks in silky sand, or relax on the veranda with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and enjoy the beautiful sunrise.

Amenities: StarLink Wifi , 2 SMART flat-screen TV’s. Air-conditioned GAMES/EXERCISE ROOM with sliding glass doors. Fun for all the family with POOL TABLE, TABLE TENNIS, darts, exercise equipment. Boogie board for wave surfing and sand toys for children plus lots of beach towels. All you need to pack is your snorkels

Dilly Crab Paradise
Just got back from the Dilly Crab Beach House. Travelled with my husband and another couple. We loved our stay. The location worked perfectly for us and the beach is spectacular. The house is lovely and well maintained and was exactly as advertised on VRBO. We were so comfortable in our lovely rental house. Our hostess Michele is amazing. She is so helpful and responsive. Every question was dealt with in advance of travel and she was always helpful during our vacation. I highly recommend this property. You won't be disappointed.

Spring break in paradise
Paradise! The Dillycrab House was perfect for our family of 5. Michele was the truly the best host and we loved getting to chat with her throughout the week. Her attention to details and thoughtfulness were recognized during our stay. Michele even picked up some local veggies from the farmer for us and dropped them at the house. The Dillycrab has everything you could possibly need for vacation - beach towels, chairs, coolers, kayaks, pool floats, etc. The private pool was perfect for relaxing and the turquoise water at the beach was breathtaking. Relaxing in the hammock down by the beach was also a treat for us too. We loved Exuma and our stay at the Dillycrab and will definitely be back! Thanks Michele and Howard for making our first trip to Exuma so memorable!

Perfect island getaway!
This beach house has it all! Stunning views, beautiful pool, lush landscaping, and well thought-through interiors. Just steps away from the sand and sea, we enjoyed coffee overlooking the waves and endless white sand each morning! Excellent location near the airport and well-positioned to access both ends of the island with ease. The kitchen is fully equipped and the downstairs game room is a teenagers dream! Additionally, everything you need for the perfect beach vacation is there - beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers and more. The home owner and property management team were wonderful! Highly recommend this property. FIVE STARS!

Only blue is that water!
As other have said, Dillycrab Ranch is the gem of Exuma, located on a pristine and private stretch of beach, convenient to airport, restaurants, gas station, and groceries. This was our first trip to the island, and Michele was a wealth of info, plus a guardian angel when our return flight was canceled overnight. I know our experience was enriched by her tips and kindness. The house itself is just the right size and equipped with more than you'd need, but the outdoor spaces are truly where you'll enjoy your time! Just a note that the main living space and 3 bedrooms are on a second floor level, allowing for awesome views of the pool and that blue, blue ocean, but meaning you have to navigate a short outside staircase with luggage or to come and go (small price to pay). There is no internal access to the ground level game room/4th bedroom (consideration with younger kids, but my young adults loved it). Thanks also to Desereen and Jonas for their help and hospitality at Dillycrab in making our stay so nice. We leave with warm memories and grateful hearts...until next time!

Why they chose this property

From a blind date to a 20 year journey, Howard and I have survived many ups and downs. We are best friends and this has carried us through parenthood and life as entrepreneurs.
Having a Beach House in Exuma has been a dream come true! It took many years of hard work and still more hard work to come. We wanted to have a place where all of our kids and grandkids would be happy to play and create wonderful memories.

What makes this property unique

Dillycrab magic happened! The first time we were just renting like you. I woke up to the sunrise spreading its glory over the ocean without even lifting my head off the pillow. With coffee in hand, I lay in the hammock on the porch and watched the ocean in every shade of blue and turquoise while little birds in the palm trees were singing away, a dove cooing in the nearby tree, the gentle warm salt air caressing my skin..I was in Love. I was in Paradise!
There are 65 palm trees that create an island oasis.( Love the sound of palm fronds rustling in the breeze.. and the oceans music from every room in the house.)
Right in front of the property is a beautiful island you can paddle out to, sailboats in the distance. It is like a picture book. I have travelled to a lot of Caribbean islands but I have never experienced such turquoise water and such white soft sand. I also have never experience what it is like to have a 3km Beach to wander, lucky to see another soul.. never hassled and feeling safe as a woman to walk alone....This made me fall deeper in love..
I can not even tell you about how much fun and family bonding time we have experience sipping cool drinks floating in the pool..I never thought before Exuma that that would become one of my favourite things to do! There is sun as well as shade from palms on the pool deck for all day pleasure.
What is great with a family at Dillycrab are fun spots and quiet spots and spots to feel alone with a good book and spots to play together.. it is like your own mini resort, lots to do or nothing to do.
As you can see we LOVE Dillycrab.
