The Dilly Crab beach house was one of the best vacations our family of six has had up until now. This was our first time to the Bahamas and we are so glad we found this property. I've heard a few stories from the larger islands in the Bahamas - crime outside resorts/locals/etc. Exuma is the complete opposite of that! You get a small town feel where everyone is polite and courtesy. Coming from two decades in law enforcement, I'm always suspicious of unfamiliar areas. I can truly say I felt safe wherever we went in Exuma.As far as the property goes, we couldn't have asked for more. The house and amenities were perfect for a family of six. We had more than enough space and there was plenty to do. The beach access is literally in your back yard and most days we had the entire beach to ourselves. The "tree house" area was the wife and I's favorite part. Picturesque view of the beautiful waters with a constant warm breeze...heaven. Michele , the owner, is constantly in contact the entire trip. Tips for anyone's first time to the area:- Pack a suite case with dry foods. Groceries are insanely expensive here and limited. - If you're eating out, plan way ahead. The locals are on island time and there is no rush to get your food out. They also aren't open on days you'd think so check beforehand, ha. - Exuma Watersports tour is a must. We opted for the 4-hour private tour. Best experience ever!All in all, trip of a lifetime. We will definitely be back, Thank you Michele!

Amazing from check in to check out!! Amazing communication from the host and always available during our stay, if needed. Our favorite area was the deck overlooking the ocean and of course the beach itself. Most of the time it was only our family on the beach so it was like our own private beach. My teens loved the pool table and ping pong table as well…we had everything we needed in the kitchen when preparing meals and location was great! We can’t wait to come back!!

We absolutley loved staying at Dilly Crab, the private beach and pool was amazing! Michele was so great to work with and communication was prompt and super helpful! The beds were comfortable and bathrooms extremely nice! she really had everything we needed at the house and then some! I highly recommend Dilly crab for your next vacation! A few things to note: the downstairs bunkbed room has an oustide entrance to the main house upstairs. There are two houses on the property, but the smaller home was not rented out when we were there and both homes have their own pool and deck over looking the ocean. The home was very clean and has beautiful landscaping, we loved loved the private beach and kayaks! We would definitely go back!
