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!
