The views from the house are amazing. Owner was very attentive throughout the booking and during our stay (although we didn't need anything during our stay). House is perfect for families, beach access, pool, plenty of toys, games, equipment, etc. We loved it, traveled with party of 8 including 3 teens.

Great week at One Tar Bay
8 of us stayed here for a week in March to celebrate a 50th birthday. It was fantastic. We were grateful to have the pool because the ocean was very rough and hard to swim in. Mary was extremely responsive to our questions and requests and Cleo was very helpful. The house had everything we needed and was just as expected.

Wonderful week!
We had a wonderful week in this property, it was perfect for our two families. The kids enjoyed the pool and we walked the basically empty beach daily. Cleo was very helpful at check-in and responsive to any needs. The owners were even kind enough to give us duct tape when needed! The location is central to both sides of the island and we were able to explore it all. Perfect views and a beautiful home!

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful property. From our first contact at booking to our check-out, Mark, Mary and Cleo were wonderful. We can’t recommend this property highly enough. The location is perfect, the indoor and outdoor spaces great for a group, the kitchen well stocked and everything is clean, comfortable and welcoming. Mark and Mary are a great resource for things to do and see on the island. Thank you for a wonderful stay…our group of 10 will be back!

Wonderful escape!
We had a wonderful stay at One Tar Bay. Mary and Cleo were wonderful hosts. We arrived early and were able to arrange a drop off of our luggage before the scheduled check in. Everything was set up as requested and Mary was very transparent that the internet was out due to a down pole the night prior and that they were fixing it (it came back on a few days later in spite of the weekend). Plenty of space, all the utensils and kitchen items. Pool toys and beach towels. Lots of great books and games (we gifted our puzzle that we brought along). We look forward to coming back in the future! Thank you for a fabulous escape in the Exumas!

Infinity Pool, Location, and great spot for a friends vacation
Accommodating hosts that sent great recommendations before our trip, grocery shopped before we arrived, and were flexible with our dates and check-out time. We loved all that the house had to offer- beach chairs, coolers, snorkeling gear, etc. The pool and deck layout can’t be beat. We explored the whole island and loved being centrally located- don’t miss Shoreline, Hooper’s Beach, Cocoplum beach and bistro, pig/iguana tour, Tropics of Cancer beach and Santanas. Gotta recommend Shirley’s and karoake on Friday night at Mark’s. Our boat rental fell through and Graeme helped us easily secure an amazing boat for our group of 10. We loved the separate bedrooms and bathrooms and many outdoor spaces to enjoy the sun and stars for our group of 3 families.

One Tar Bay is Fantastic!!
We could not have been happier with this property. The home is beautiful and extremely well-equipped. It was very accommodating to our entire family of eight. The pool, porches, and deck were simply amazing. And, the location of the home and its view are just unbeatable. Not only that, but also our hosts Mary and Mark were very helpful both before and during our stay. Their property manager, Cleo, was also extremely helpful. Just as an example, she had gone to the grocery store for us and picked up requested items, so they were waiting on us when we got there. Overall, we highly recommend One Tar Bay and we look very forward to returning!

Great home for a large family
We had a wonderful stay at One Tar Bay! The weather was not ideal for boating like we had planned to do everyday, so we were thankful that the house was spacious and had everything we needed. The kids played board games and enjoyed the toys our host provided when it was raining. The adults were happy we had everything we needed to make meals and morning cappuccinos. We found the house to be just as described, everything was in working order and we would definitely recommend staying here.

What a place!!!
Our family of 8 had high expectations of One Tar Bay and Exuma, and to our surprise, those expectations were exceeded! The home is absolutely perfect for a larger group. We had plenty of space, the kitchen is well-equipped and wow, what can I say about the views. We spent hours and hours around the gorgeous pool area, cooked on the gas grill (sadly didn't use the BBQ pit because I was nervous of the wind causing a fire) and took walks on what is essentially a private beach. We never saw another soul the whole week. Our favorite day trips were renting the boat for two days to explore the harbor, notably Stocking Island (Starfish Beach was our fav!) and a short drive to Hoopers Bay to swim with the turtles. Thanks to Mary and Mark for their great hospitality!

Awesome Stay at One Tar Bay!
First off, I would like to say thank you so much to Mark and Mary for allowing our group to reserve One Tar Bay! My husband and I are relatively well-travelled in the Caribbean and our stay at One Tar Bay was simply fantastic. I would also like to point out that if anything was broken or didn’t work properly, the issue was addressed immediately. We were unable to log onto the internet the first day and Mark was at the house within an hour to fix it. We had a group of 10 (including 6 kids ages from 5 to 15) and there was literally no complaint from anyone- which is amazing considering the number of people. OTB is in a great location. We were first time visitors to Exuma and did not really know what to expect. OTB is a short drive from the airport, and in a good, central location to get to various parts of the island. You can get to Coco Plum Beach within 40 minutes or the opposite end at Tropic of Cancer Beach within 40 minutes from OTB. The house is exactly as described and so much more, honestly. The views out of the living room windows are second to none. The bedrooms and possible configurations are flexible and really worked well for our group. The pool was stunning and the walk to the beach was relatively easy. Mary and Mark even have a bin full of children’s toys and books about the Bahamas you can enjoy. OTB provides shampoo, laundry detergent and other items needed until you can get to a grocery store to refill. They even have beach towels you can use while you are on their property. We brought extra from home for use off property. Further, OTB’s kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen I have ever stayed in. There is literally everything you could need from blenders to crockpots and everything in between. Mary and Mark do such a wonderful job of making sure the house has everything one needs while staying in Exuma and that started with the guide that she sent out days before arrival giving you a run down of things to expect, places to dine, grocery store locations and prices and even a sample of daily things to do so you can hit up all of the highlights on Exuma. In short, OTB is an amazing place with wonderful hosts in a fantastic location and setting. I would not hesitate to book again and hope too again very soon. We fell in love with Exuma. Thanks again Mary and Mark for an unforgettable vacation in your lovely home!

One Tar Bay Stay!
House is in a great location, being close to the airport and center of the island. Beautiful views and nice outdoor area. It was super windy for some of the time we stayed there, so using the beach or anything outdoors was VERY limited in this location on high wind days. There was also construction on the house right next door, which made sitting outside less than relaxing. The house is very spacious and a nice kitchen area. We did have issues with wifi all week. It never worked after day two. . This is tough with children, who expect wifi use every day! The house was not super clean on our arrival, but I know this is the Bahamas and getting it very clean is a challenge. The dryer took at least three cycles to dry clothes as well. Overall the location is very good and the house is nice, but I do wish they would fix the dryer, wifi and clean it a bit better!

Four Bedroom home with two up and two down on main level. The owners, Mark and Mary, own the home next door as well and were there at the time. Very nice people who were very accomodating. Anything we asked about they were all over it. Mary even brought us over a Banana Zucchini bread which was quite good. Because we were arriving on a Sunday when the markets were closed, Monica, the property mgr/host offered to buy groceries for us ahead of time. Turned out to be very helpful since the markets were closed on Sunday, Tuesday(Christmas) and Wednesday (Boxing Day). This is an island with a very small population and consequently, very few services. If you are looking for a relaxing location this will work nicely. The people were all friendly. We managed to play a couple of rounds of golf at the Sandals resort. Nice golf course with some beautiful holes along the ocean. The owners of the house had five sets of golf clubs they said we could use so that saved us some money renting clubs. Can’t offer an opinion on the beach by the house because when we were there it was windy and the water was rough. However, the waves splashing up against the shore were beautiful. The owners had just completed a pool and deck just before we arrived. They had an outside grill which we used to grill steaks on one night and hamburgers another night. You will need a rental car to get to any place on the island. This is a drive on the left side island and you should check with your insurance company because your US insurance probably doesn’t cover you in the Bahamas. The pictures of the house are a fair represtation of the property. Thank you to Mark, Mary and Monica.

Warning...
Stayed at Tarbay with my wife and three daughters.We had emailed Monica,the property Manager,the week before arriving to arrange groceries to be picked up.We were traveling on Sunday,and Monday was a Holiday on the island so the stores would be closed.Monica was kind enough to respond back quickly and confirmed our list was received and she would handle it.Upon our arrival to the house we found the groceries were left on the counter over night and there was chicken and ground beef juice all over the counter.Needless to say not a great start to our vacation.Tuesday morning while getting ready to head out to find another beach we notice rat feces in the pantry closet off the kitchen and a rat trap in the upstairs closet in master bathroom closet.Slightly concern that there might be a rodent problem in the house we contact Monica to advise her and were told that "it is summer time so the wildlife is active",but she would ask Clio to stop on her way home and clean the pantry out, which she did.When we arrived home after being at the beach all day preparing dinner and relaxing on the back deck,my daughter came outside and informed me that the toilets downstairs were not flushing.No worries I thought, boy was I wrong.Not only did the toilets not flush,but the showers down stairs,which no one used yet,were starting to back up and the water was now starting to over flow into one of the bedrooms off the kitchen.We proceeded to empty the room of luggage and clothes,which were now wet,and lay towels across the door entry to see if we could prevent the water from going into the kitchen and living room area.I texted Monica and she responded with, "we are living in a third world country where problems like this do happen", and "we could not find a plumber in New York at 11pm at night and that is a City known for the City that never sleeps".Well it wasn't 11pm when I texted first of all and second, we just wanted some direction on what to do so the house wouldn't get flooded.With that said,she was able to get a hold of a plumber and he did in fact come over that night but he could really do anything but said he would be back in the morning.He shows up in the morning,but no Monica? At first he seemed puzzled,but told me he found the issue,the septic tank was full.He would arrange for pump out and call Monica to have the downstairs cleaned.Once these issues were resolved, we had a lovely stay, but couldn't recommend Tarbay based on the way this was handled.
